Wow, so they are trying to shut people up to hide the fact the game has glitches and cheats?
-snip, didn't really think before I posted-
i guess you could look like at it like that? or you could say they're trying to make the community better for their players by making it harder for average dumbass #519 to learn exploits
and before anyone says "why not just fix them?" they most likely are
[QUOTE=Doctor_Brony;46571746]I support this. It's not right for people to give tutorials or show people what it's like to use exploits or cheats to spoil the fun of others. Good on you, Activision.[/QUOTE]
you don't see Valve, for example, going berserk over their game being buggy, but they instead focus on fixing them if they can or consider th bugs game breaking. Banning people's YT accounts and removing videos is just a poor way of handling the mistakes done by the game's developers.
-snip, I'm just digging a deeper grave for myself-

It's funny because it's waterfall.
It's also illegal because gameplay videos are under Fair Use.

Considering recent titles, might as well have "Requirement Analysis" crossed out too. :v:
glitch videos dont deserve the strikes, but if somebody is posting videos and distributing cheats that ruin the game, they deserve what comes to them.

And what better way to motivate the update/patch team than for everyone to get really mad about the glaring glitches/exploits?
Better to have these kinds of things WAY out in the open then to let private communities abuse them for months under the radar, but oh god forbid we make more work for a company that has been rehashing the same title for years now.
Activision, Ubisoft, or EA?
How do we choose who to hate the most? At this point I'm going with 'fuck all these assholes its not like I ever buy their games anyway'.
The rate of AAA companies bombing their own PR like this is fucking bewildering. It's not like they are even still getting good business out of this either, CoD sales have been dropping with every reiteration.

Did they? I'm talking about the console version sales, that's what makes them the most monies

BF3 had the same shit, there was bugs in the game that were unknown to the wider community until they hit youtube with tutorials on how to:
Make yourself invincible
Make the m26 dart instant kill anyone from up to a mile away
Make the L85 fire every single bullet in the dead center of your x-hairs no matter what.
Get outside maps using certain game mechanics and gaining a vastly unfair advantage over the enemy.
The worst was without a doubt the fucking M26 Dart, it completely destroyed the damn game for everyone for a solid month.
Now I'm not saying ban the youtube accounts but i fully support taking the videos down of multiplayer glitches and exploits after the past experiences of shit like this, make the video private and pass it on to the Dev's. Could not give a fuck about SP though.

That one didn't need a tutorial, all you had to do is use it :v:
At this time, with pushing updates being so easy, there is no reason not to patch the exploits. Trying to hide the exploits doesnt solve anything as people can still google for them. Stop supporting lazy developers who make millions by thinking this is perfectly reasonable.
Wow. A single strike makes it so that the uploader can't do stuff like upload 15+ minutes long videos,and you can't remove the strike unless it's a false claim. Basically,if you upload long videos you'll have to make a new channel. GG Activision.

It did require a specific loudout to make it work. Something to do with the heavy barrel on a certain AR if I remember. But it's not like people would never have found it, every motherfucker just defaulted to the heavy barrel for everything.

On PC, yeah. On consoles, updates usually take weeks to go through publisher stuff
why are game company's so shit these days?
Goddamn Activision just when we thought "Most Hated Publisher Ever" had become a two-way race between EA and Ubisoft you charge [i]right[/i] back into the running by pulling a stunt like this.
[QUOTE=murple;46574159]why are game company's so shit these days?[/QUOTE]
Player standards rise, Scope rises, cost rises, dev time doesn't increase appropriately, post launch support is considered normal, amount of QA doesn't correspond to the scope of the game. All combined to make piss people off.

Well it required a very specific loadout that took 2 years to surface, you had to not take the Medkit or noobtube which was rare in itself but then it then required sacrificing an attachment to underslung it which no one did, and to actually see how OP it was you had to use it with the G3 which for most BF3 players required to much effort to use right so it wasn't a common gun. The heavy barrel and Suppression perk being the final components.
A pretty rare loadout when you consider the standard MLG loadout to this day is M16a3 FG+HB and medkit.
It went from maybe one or 2 people using it to entire servers using it in a day, i'll never forget that 64 player server I went in and 99% of kills were the Dart. There was no top recon, support or engineer it was just assaults all using the damn thing. I'll admit i had to laugh but the round was absolutly awful.

Its not like, ya know, Activision couldn't use this info to learn about bugs and glitches in their games and, oh I don't know, fix them maybe? Doesn't take a brain surgeon or rocket scientist to figure that out.
Issuing copyright strikes against people who legitimately want the multiplayer scene to be better is not how you make people come back next year.
I mean, you could patch the issues, but I guess it's more cost effective to just pretend they aren't there and do nothing. Hell you probably even make money if you file copyright claims on monetized videos, right?
Its a fucking COPYRIGHT strike. Are they breaking your copyright? No? Stop fucking abusing the youtube copyright system then.
Honestly, shit like this should revoke the company from the ability of making these strikes.
Another proof that copyright strike system in Youtube is such a bullshit.

Well, they kinda do own all rights to the product, doesn't that mean they're free to control it however they like?
