[QUOTE=Starship;33384528]Bob kotick already considered that once actually, not sure what happened with the the idea.[/QUOTE] Probably being pushed through into their next game as we speak.
[QUOTE=zpiscool;33384100][url=http://mp1st.com/2011/11/21/activision-takes-down-youtubers-videos-to-make-you-pay-for-them-in-elite/]Yeah you heard me...[/url] Seemingly unsatisfied with the wads of cash raked in from MW3's initial release, our robot overlords at Activision have taken down a youtuber's video guides on the [i]magnificent[/i] Modern Warfare 3 (and Modern Warfare 2 if I read that correctly) and are now making you pay to watch that shit in CoD Elite. Personally the concept is completely over my poor, Irish head - money for [i]videos?[/i] Whatever will those masterminds think of next?[/QUOTE] Whose videos were those?... For a minute, I thought those were from that RawInstinct guy... Now this is a really dick move... Its like that new feature youtube has... Only backwards!
Instead they could like ask to put a small MW3 commercial or some shit to promote their game, i mean they even removed the smaller video's
Well this is Xboxahoy's fault for agreeing to make his videos exclusive for COD Elite. He should have known Activision would do this sort of thing. Somebody here please make a video guide about all the weapons and maps in MW3. If they take down those user made video about MW3, I say, Activision is fucking up their consumers.
For fuck sake, I don't even play CoD and I like watching that guy's videos. Always amuses me as to how much time and effort he puts in to a simple video.
kotick is a fucking goblin
We can all moan and winge but thousands of chumps will stay pay money for this shit, they always do, and as long as that keeps happening Activision will find more ways of grabbing their money.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;33384694]Why watch a video about the gun when you can just equip and use it to try it for yourself.[/QUOTE] Kinda hard when you live in countries like the UK, especially if you live in cities like London where there isn't really a big open forest to go out and just start shooting.
Oh no Activision removed videos of MW3 from the internet No not that whatever will I doooooooo
For a second there I was thrilled because I thought this would rid YouTube of morons like [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/WhiteBoy7thst]this guy,[/url] but it seems like they're only targeting videos from certain people.
This is truly an EVIL move, even though I couldn't give even HALF a fuck about Modern Warfare nowadays. The concept behind it seethes with capitalist vitriolic ichor, and must be incinerated immediately since it poses a threat to the universal freedom that the internet stands for. But then again it might get rid of those inane CoD frag videos that clog up the tubes like the day after a curry party in an apartment block.

God dammit. I was wondering what happened to XboxAhoy's vid's. For Black Ops at least they were really awesome and well done. They weren't just the usual montages of people showing off awesome kills, they included the technical and operational history of the weapon, and even pointed out when it would be impossible to use it in Black Ops time frame. As great as his vids were, I'm not paying for Elite to see them.
haha cunts

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;33387009]Oh no Activision removed videos of MW3 from the internet No not that whatever will I doooooooo[/QUOTE] its not the fact that they are removing MW3 videos... its the fact that they are removing videos and selling them on their eleite thing.
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;33384480]D'oh boy more reasons for the short ones to yell about how much they know about guns cause all they do is play COD. [I]Can't wait...[/I][/QUOTE] Unless you've seen the videos, shut the fuck up. He actually uses research, which is what you should've done before commenting. I can only assume you're too lazy to use youtube and find a video, so here's one from black ops: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhsHt6pLUFY&feature=channel_video_title[/url]
[QUOTE=legolover122;33389542]its not the fact that they are removing MW3 videos... its the fact that they are removing videos and selling them on their eleite thing.[/QUOTE] That's the main gripe we have; it's like arson, jaywalking and murder. The only thing that would be even more horribly bourgois and capitalist would be if you had to pay a monthly fee to keep the video. It'd be like the cherry on a shit sundae, and by cherry I mean a blood-soaked eyeball. Sorry if you were just sitting down to dinner at that one.
I saw his videos and was actually surprised about how much effort was put into the videos, but I find it sort of pointless that he bothers going in depth into stats as if the weapons are actually different enough to warrant it
