Should Activision Give PS3 Black Ops First Strike DLC For Free?

The ultimate I'm sorry from Treyarch? Give PS3 gamers the Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC "First Strike" for free. Sure, Mr. Kotick might not agree and certainly the shareholders of Activision might not agree either but if the loyal fans of your game buy the content and it has the same problems that the game has now, your disgruntled fans are soon going to turn into an angry mob.

yes but they wont, anyway who cares KZ3 is out next month

[TLG1991]

exactly killzone 3 is out soon even people don't change over from there usual shit cod game to something which actual work and effort has gone into, then those people are fucking idiots.

but even if people dont swap and still buy this for a stupid price when they could even pick up bfbc 2 and get free dlc (not vietnam) then there is no hope.

i am just really looking forward to MW3 as i have heard they have 3 devlopers working on it and i can't wait to see it get into the grave it dug itself with the rest of the series!

[Joni-Ice]

So true...If I had Black Ops, knowing me, I will burn that game in my BBQ grill the day KZ3 releases.

[Persistantthug]

This version sold more than the others, and its the worst performing one ever.

[Soldierone]

Yes but they wont, exactly the point.

A majority of the people complaining will still buy it at the exagerated price. To top it off im sure some people are so clueless they will buy it even when getting perm banned lol.

[poe]

lol yes I was just about to say just that.

[redd0r]

2 paragraphs in a massive font with a shit stirring headline = article. Sad.

[Crazyhorse]

You what IS sad, that you write for a piece of garbage site like Botchweed and think you have some sort of business calling something sad, that's the real sadness here.

[redd0r]

I don't write for Botchweed, but nice one. Check your facts.

[LunaticBrandon]

No because they'll still buy it even for a broken game.

[Kran]

Again. They bought the game. They are soley responsible for buying the game. After a few days of realising it was broken, they should have done what Angry Joe did with Sonic Free Riders.

Now I own both consoles, and no doubt it's unfair on what Treyarch has done. But they wont give away free DLC when the fix is a simple patch away. Of course, when that patch will occur is another question.

[TLG1991]

i think its more than a simple patch away, as lazy as all the people who work on COD are i think even they would have done it by now, its definetly more than they are making out, well thats the point they havent really said anything they are probly like " lets keep it hush hush till MW3 theneveryone will buy that and people will forget about that cock-up"

[DarkFantasy]

Damn right they should!

[interrergator]

you think there gona give it to you bullshit why u guys buy the fuckin product in the first place if u dont like this guy i dont get it

[DarkFantasy]

No I do not think activison is going to give us free dlc,and why are you talking to me like I'm 3 people "you guys"..any way I got Black ops for split-screen online and for split-screen online zombies because i have friends and family that like to play games as well and most games that do have split screen only have versus.

"why u guys buy the fuckin product in the first place if u dont like this guy i dont get it "

uhmm WTF what guy ??? who are you talking about..damn I thought i was horrible at spelling and grammar but you take the cake.

[plb]

I traded it towards KZ3 already so doesn't matter to me...PS3 version unplayable IMO.

[MeNoRasta]

What makes ps3 version of black ops unplayable? the reason i ask is because i was going to get it for ps3 but got it for xbox instead.

Here's what could possibly happen:

(Feel free to replace the letters 'KZ3' with 'BFBC2' or 'Crysis 2' if you want...any good FPS title)

1. Hordes of 13 year old squeakers nerd rage at the game
2. They then convince their parents to purchase KZ3 for them
3. After 45 seconds of playing KZ3, they rage and quit forever because it's "2 hrd n im 1337 on COD!!1!"
4. They throw KZ3 out in a fit of nerd rage and convince their parents to purchase the DLC for them
5. They play the DLC on their broken game and go to the COD forums to rage and cry because it still doesn't (and never will) work properly.

OR

1. Mature COD gamers decide that enough is enough, purchase KZ3, learn the game mechanics and decide that they love it. They continue to play fairly, and enjoy a much more mature audience.

I'll start taking bets...NOW!

[Soldierone]

Sounds just like my little brother! However he is ten :P Still a great post! :P

[Vip3r]

They should give PS3 owners a free cheque for £40. That should make up for it all.

[punishing1]

Sold my copy on fleabay to put toward KZ3. DONE with the CoD series.

[XtremeHDGamer]

Ps3 and Pc

[Soldierone]

Was debating getting it for zombies, but then EA announced Dead Space 2 DLC and all hope went out the door :P

[MeNoRasta]

I was going to get the dlc but im thinking of getting psn+ instead and hopefully get invited to the killzone3 beta if it works like that but i dont know what im doing yet.

[--------]

The Killzone 3 Open Beta will be released to ALL PS3 gamers (including those WITHOUT Playstation Plus) for free, on February 2nd/3rd depending on whether you're in the U.S or the E.U.

This beta will expire February 12th/13th - Again, depending on your location. Also, a Killzone 3 Campaign Demo will be released for free download on Feb 16th.

Hope I helped!

[MeNoRasta]

Anytime mate, see you out there! ;)

[KotC]

Why do people come into a Black Ops article to talk about Killzone 3? 75% of the comments above are off topic.

[sickbird]

ahhahahahahahaha... we're talking about activision here.
