Activision Threatens to Pull PSN for Black Ops

[Caltson]

Maybe then will activation will see how much money they are losing and work along side with treyacrh to get a proper fix out to the community before putting servers online.

With servers offline they lose A LOT of money and so does treyacrh as they get a percentage

You don't need great servers to earn alot of money.. The server is there, Activision has their money from it because even tough the servers are bad, still millions of people play the game each day.
When the first map-pack releases, they'll be getting another money boost, believe me, they won't shut down the server, unless it would be for maintenance, improvements or any other thing.

Look to EA, they shut down the server support for all games after a couple of years, now that's what i call moneyhungry. Because they are not getting enough space on their servers, they'll just stop the support on not so old games (ex. LOTR Conquest, Fifa 2010 (!), etc... )
Not mentioning that there are alot of people that cannot acces the EA servers without getting kicked from them. (a common bug on the EA servers, it seems..)

Keep always in mind that online gaming is and will remain a tricky part. Aslong Activision keeps making its money, it will do whatever suits itselfs.
What could be an advise to all players:

Stop playing black ops all together all over the world, causing a massive decrease of call of duty players all over the world aswell.... That way activision will notice they'll have to improve that... Maybe worth working on that idea later on.

Buy a Xbox 360, we don't have any problems.

True that, we get all our shit fixed on time, stuff released early and working properly.

[Caltson]

There is no point in buying an Xbox360 apart from converting this topic into a fanboy fight.

Every console has their problems and issues, for the fact, Assassins Creed Brotherhood has been struggling with the online support on Xbox360, whilst it doesn't experience a single problem on the Playstation.

at least ps3 has more than 2 exclusives

Anyway, the game's boring as I said before, and the lag doesn't make it any better. Zombies with bros is the only thing I feel is worth to play.

You should become a stand up comedian; that's quite funny.

[Wolfe]

Actually, the only worth playing Exclusive on Xbox is Gears of Wars and Halo..Ps3 has far more than that...


Anyways, I don't quite care if they'l either continue or not, but if it becomes worse in connection problems, i'm probably stop playing Black Ops.

all about XBOX ->


If Black Ops starts to fail at PSN then its not worth at all.Its basically made to be played in MP.Activision fails again.

PC owns both Xbox and PS3, I wish the Xbox and PS3 could have dedicated servers too since, well, that works pretty well on the PC... Dunno' how it would play out like on Consoles tough :O.

Stop the PC VS XBOX VS PS3, everyone has their own preference and none has 'proven' to be better aswell....- RyanC

I believe PS3 and Xbox have dedicated servers aswell. Always had a perfect connection on WaW and MW2, even on Black Ops it works out fine if i have a good game, but sadly the game experience is interuppted by many disconnects.

[Caltson]

Activision has released a new patch which should address all connection issues experienced on PS3.
Also adjustments have been made to the 'second chance' perk and new contracts have been added.

[Fruity]

Great news! Maybe I can finally play a game tonight without timing out half way through.

Rusty,


Note you are able to have full customer satisfaction guarantee, and that this guarantee come's with every single game published by Activision, and that if you are not satisfied you are legible to sue them for not keeping you on your side up to the guarantee due to them not following their side of the bargain in the guarantee either.

What I'm saying is,

If they close down support for PSN servers, they are breaking the customer satisfaction guarantee and you can sue them.

[Pandalink]

sue

Activision

good luck with that
