THE FOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL STAGES OF
THE BATTERED MW2 GAMER
DENIAL
The gamer refuses to admit--even to himself*--that there is a "problem" with the game. He may call each incident an "accident". (i.e. "IW will listen to the community!") He offers excuses for IW's unbalanced and glitchy game and each time firmly believes it will never happen again.
GUILT
He now acknowledges there is a problem, but considers himself responsible for it. He "deserves" to be beaten, he feels, because he has defects in his character and is not living up to his normal KDr.
ENLIGHTENMENT
The gamer no longer assumes responsibility for MW2's abusive gameplay, recognizing that no one "deserves" to be beaten by glitchers, a poor spawn system and boosters. He is still committed to MW2, though, and stays with the game, hoping they can work things out. It is at this point that the gamer writes long screeds complaining about MW2 on various message boards.
RESPONSIBILITY
Accepting the fact that IW will not, or can not, stop the behavior of boosters/glitchers/noobtubers/campers/broken spawn systems, etc., the battered gamer decides he will no longer submit to it and starts a new life (or at least a different video game).
*He/His/Him can be replaced with She/Hers/Her as appropriate.

this has ladyskillzz written all over it because she refuses to play and gets sooooo angry when playing, if i can even talk her into playing with me and our friends(believe me it takes alot) my wife lol, she hates mw2 with a passion so much so that her copy will be traded in for the sake of black ops lmao
(btw any mod seeing this and thinking i was just looking for post points or something like that or bumping this crappy thread that advertises which is against the rules, my wife was asking me to search lady to see if she can pay to change her name to it, if it was taken or not, surprisingly it is...)
