Wow.
If it isn't a joke, all I'm going to say is.
1.) Why would they go after people for hacking COD4 now? It's not played as much.
2.) If you're banned and complaining that IW made a mistake, why should you pay....ummm, it IS in the contract. Even if they make mistakes, you're not supposed to exploit them.
3.) That just sucks guys.
4.) XBL users....go buy a PS3, get MAG.
5.) PSN users, make another account, get MAG.
Take a minute and think about why they did this NOW. XBL users all just got the new map pack. If some accounts are true, not only is your gamedata erased, but that map pack. So not only did you just lose all that work for a game you spent 60 bucks on, but now you just lost an additional 10 dollars because you spent it on the map pack. In short...you F'ed with them, and now they F'ed you. There was a contract, you didn't adhere, and they decided to get you at the worst time. I bet you there was something in either the map pack download, or most recent update, to help detect those that hacked.
So, who is all hyped up about COD7? LoL.
Get MAG.
And don't take this post as busting anyone's chops. I'm just stating the obvious, playing a bit of devil's advocate, and promoting one of my favorite games. Yay.
That sucks guys....really sucks.
