Pro gamer consumer lobby group Gamers' Voice has slammed Activision for treating PS3 and PC Call of Duty: Black Ops players like game testers.
Confirming plans to submit a formal complaint "to the relevant government agencies" this week over problems with the "unfinished" PC and PS3 versions of the massively popular shooter, the organisation said:
"The view of Gamers' Voice is that it doesn't matter how big a game is, it should not be released 'unfinished' or with bugs that make the game unplayable, which are words we have seen in a lot of emails to us recently.
I'm done testing...I sold my copy weeks ago and will never fall for it again.
the same people complaining will buy the next version
Not the worst game ever but definitely far from being deserved of its sales and hype. The online portion of the game is as broken as it was Day 1, if not worse.
I'm trading it in towards KZ3.
It's a shame that a good franchise has been completly let down by the online gameplay which at times is just unplayable. The connection isssue needs to be sorted without question. You can just see from the release of First Strike which console they're putting before the rest, need I say more....
