I might still get it, but if I do buy it it'll be used. There's no way I'm giving Activision any money for it after THIS. This is truly disgusting:

Yeah it's kind of old but I just found out about it reading about the Modern Warfare 2 map being temporarily pulled. Basically every gamer forum and blog reporting on it I found has people furious and screaming about how they'll never get it (most also acting like the series has gotten repetitive and they probably weren't/on the fence anyway, but beside the point.) But you can't hire a war criminal and traitor without consequences.

Oh, I'm buying this game now. I disagree with many of his political/cultural/foreign policy views, but I've always found it ridiculous how much hate he got for essentially serving his country and its interests.

Selling weapons to Iran is definitely in this country's interest.

I actually loved the first Black Ops, largely because it had a great story and setting (even if the big twist had been played in movies a million times already.) and lots of levels and weapons were so much fun (like the Dragon's Breath thing). But MW3 really didn't add anything new to the series at all. The last level ruled hard though.

Didn't he go to jail for about a year? But it's quite amusing that he got his conviction overturned with assistance from the ACLU, that's a factoid I'd love to point out to a Teabagger type who is a fan of his.
