    Why would we need dedicated servers? Wait, am I the host? No? *quits*

  2. Daifuku on November 13th, 2009 10:07 am

    Stop bitching and buy your own. Like I will soon do :3

  3. Colonel_Obvious on November 13th, 2009 10:10 am

    What's this? I was told we would be boycotting with men! YOUR ENTIRE BOYCOT IS BABIES!!!
    ~*~
    FIRST!!!!

  4. Miketuu on November 13th, 2009 10:46 am

    *Me being the stupid person in the corner actually asking that first question and wondering why it's the one and only reason you'd keep playing*

  5. Miketuu on November 13th, 2009 10:47 am

    Call of Duty: Modern Obsession 2

  6. Nick Soapdish on November 13th, 2009 11:06 am

    You could say these guys aren't very 'dedicated' to the cause.

  7. Shawn Handyside on November 13th, 2009 11:36 am

    ZING!

  8. FoxyMayo on November 13th, 2009 11:41 am

    This also furthers my belief that people who try to protest and/or boycott are complete and total idiots.

  9. TehBlueOne on November 13th, 2009 11:45 am

    Can noone explain to me why modern warfare is so popular? No matter who I've asked so far, none have given a good reason. :l

  10. Leo058 on November 13th, 2009 1:14 pm

    Rosa Parks, you guys are not.

  11. Leo058 on November 13th, 2009 1:17 pm

    It's a good game. That and the first one was easy for noobs to get massive amounts of kills and gain really high ranks, making them feel better about themselves. Then, said noobs became Call of Duty fanboys, and when World at War came out and they saw that WaW actually required skill, they boycotted it (kind of the same result you see in the picture, but with considerably more whining) and waited for Modern Warfare 2.

  12. Rogan on November 13th, 2009 1:48 pm

    call of failure 6 amirite? i idnt like the 4th one, glad i didnt have to pay for it, and im not even considering getting this one. too much damn hype over a decent game.

  13. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 1:55 pm

    Yeah, especially those guys who threw away tea in Boston back in 1773. What did that ever accomplish?

  14. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 2:12 pm

    Thus proving the following Master Chief statement to be true:

    Cock of Doody: Modern Gay Fuck Stupid

  15. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 2:15 pm

    Yoda, you are not.

  16. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 2:30 pm

    Or worse, the symbolic tea parties the no-tax people organized. That was just useless.

  17. rory_m on November 13th, 2009 2:38 pm

    i dont get it

  18. need_more_Kirby on November 13th, 2009 3:13 pm

    don't you mean….. FRIST!!!!!?

  19. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 3:22 pm

    Have you played it?

    The story alone is price of addition lol
    the effects, gameplay, multiplayer, rank modes, separate co-op gameplay, amazing voice work, unlocks, level design, and AI are just a bonus

  20. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 3:25 pm

    Can't have a FPS game without thousands of idiots bitching about something.

    don't make the game bad, just the majority of the fan base (hello halo my old friend)

  21. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 3:26 pm

    Which 4th one? Modern warfare or World at war. 2 different company's, only one was any good.

  22. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 3:27 pm

    My friends…

    I HAVE A DREAM!

    to one day play on dedicated servers!

    I HAVE A DREAM!

    to no longer die to the host!

    I HAVE A…hold on a sec *sound of gunfire* Hell yeah level 20!!

  23. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 3:28 pm

    ya know, if the L4D2 Ban was still going on, in another week you could probably have a picture for all of them playing L4D2 as well

    that game is really updated, they will not be able to resist buying it

  24. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 4:03 pm

    I(t was actually a reference to Arby and the Chief. :P

  25. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 4:04 pm

    God I hate playing Halo online with a mic on. All I get are racial insults directed either to me being Mexican or calling me a Jew (I'm not even jewish. o.O)

  26. Leo058 on November 13th, 2009 4:18 pm

    True… but World at War had Kiefer Sutherland as a voice actor. :D

  27. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 4:39 pm

    Can't let you get that, blatant punchline!

  28. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 4:41 pm

    you were closer to first this time… i negate you for putting more effort into your firsties

  29. Lekonua on November 13th, 2009 4:48 pm
  30. Hakokoro on November 13th, 2009 4:51 pm

    Im boycotting Halolz and Team Fortress until we get funny posts about TF2,now if you excuse me,i have +1 to give and Snipers to kill

  31. Rogan on November 13th, 2009 4:52 pm

    warfare. i haven't played world at war, so i don't have an opinion on it

  32. Paulrus-Keaton? on November 13th, 2009 4:52 pm

    Come for the campaign, then play some multiplayer and leave for TF2.

  33. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 5:02 pm

    I'm pretty sure the point of him saying FIRST!!! is so that people do -1 him for not being first.

  34. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 5:24 pm

    As I was saying,

    I HAVE A*BOOM-headshot!*

    ….

    Too soon?

  35. Judgment on November 13th, 2009 5:33 pm

    its kind of funny because when i went to one they sent a couple trashbags filled with tea and pork rinds to the government or whoever
    i mean what if they like pork rinds and tea

  36. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 5:34 pm

    Wait, if Colonel Obvious wants -1s, and types FIRST!!! to get them, but isn't first, shouldn't we… *pinky to mouth*… +1 him?

  37. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 5:46 pm

    No, for he is on a quest to achieve -100, and it is our duty to assist him on his journey.

  38. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 5:50 pm

    But as the high priests of the Church of Wolf, isn't it our duty to not let him do that?

  39. SentryGunner on November 13th, 2009 6:14 pm

    how about a Mexican jewlizard?

    My personal favourite are the 14 year olds that think they are gansta!!

  40. SentryGunner on November 13th, 2009 6:18 pm

    Why do they think boycotting it now will work, considering they already gave their money to them, what do they care if they decide not to play it

  41. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 6:54 pm

    hell no

  42. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 6:55 pm

    lol mute button FTW

  43. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 6:55 pm

    Because they are:
    1) under the age of twelve.
    2) thinking that they form a majority in the Modern Warfare 2 community.
    3) watching Fox News.

  44. Vabolo on November 13th, 2009 6:56 pm

    Inb4Didtheyteabagyou?

  45. Badonk on November 13th, 2009 6:56 pm

    and not much else lol

  46. LOLCUNO on November 13th, 2009 6:59 pm

    You shoot people.

    Then you hide.

    Then you shoot some more.

    [/summery of overated game]

    Anyway, how come nobody has noticed Jak and Daxter coming out? =/

  47. BlueChameleon on November 13th, 2009 7:24 pm

    Come on! They have sentries now?

  48. Ataeru on November 13th, 2009 7:30 pm

    sharpie or highlighter?

  49. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 7:32 pm

    first one, then the other

  50. Ataeru on November 13th, 2009 7:33 pm

    just slap a WW2 look to modern warefare and you have WaW.
    HEY!!! that IS how trayarch made the game!

  51. BlueChameleon on November 13th, 2009 7:33 pm

    But WHERE?

  52. Ataeru on November 13th, 2009 7:36 pm

    i did
    it has no dark jak, in replacement dark daxter
    star fox style air combat, skill tree system (eco)
    and a LOT of eco talk in their conversations.

    oh and its not overated if it lives up to it.

  53. Ataeru on November 13th, 2009 7:42 pm

    why can't other games have that?
    thats like troll stopper right there.

  54. Ataeru on November 13th, 2009 7:47 pm

    yeah i know, but people will think of it as an insult.
    ill +1 it

    BTW…
    Jon's hard drive isn't even that big.
    dun wury
    I hav…….
    2 FLOPY DISKZ

  55. MexicanJuice on November 13th, 2009 7:54 pm

    Alright, I'll decide to be the stupid one here. Why exactly were people so adamant about wanting dedicated servers?

  56. MrRaccoon on November 13th, 2009 7:55 pm

    That does not count rioters right?
    RIGHT? OAO

  57. Lohlwhaut on November 13th, 2009 8:05 pm

    +1s for real world history crossing over into the modern world warfare.

  58. Lohlwhaut on November 13th, 2009 8:07 pm

    Less than 3

    Street cred to those who get it.

  59. Corenator on November 13th, 2009 8:09 pm

    I have yet to comprehend why I encounter so few jerkwads on Halo 3. I mean, the first one I ever saw was some 9-12 year old during my initial experience with Xbox Live at age 17 (I blame Microsoft's rep for the long wait).

    Maybe it's because I spend at least 90.01 of my online Halo time in the Social playlists…

  60. Lohlwhaut on November 13th, 2009 8:09 pm

    And all that was unknown has been revealed…

  61. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 8:10 pm

    Yeah, I know right? All games should have that.

  62. Corenator on November 13th, 2009 8:15 pm

    Tea and pork rinds?

    What, were they trying to say "Take this, you cash-bloated aristocrats!" or something?

    /desparate attempt to make funny puns

  63. Arch_Evil_Angel on November 13th, 2009 8:25 pm

    I am willing to pay for L4D2, but not $50. I was unimpressed by the demo. It felt like an expansion, not a sequel. Once it drops in price, I will snag it, and not a second sooner.

  64. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 8:47 pm

    you shall be the first to have to mark my words dear sir!

    nah im just playing, to each their own,
    but i still think there are too many updates/upgrades to not have it as a new game… i mean madden does that shit every year, and they dont put out an updated roster and DLC stadiums instead of an entirely new game

  65. Arch_Evil_Angel on November 13th, 2009 9:15 pm

    I agree that there are too many upgrades to make it strictly DLC, but I still don't think it is not enough for a full game. I mean, MMO's add massive amounts of content and sell them as expansions. The reason being is they are ADDING things and fixing bugs, not redoing the game from the ground up. L4D2 uses the same engine as its predecessor. Last I checked, most sequels don't do that. The Madden crap is ridiculous, and I do not buy any of those games for that reason.

    So, in conclusion, sell me this expansion at the price of an expansion, and I will gladly pay for it. But I am not paying $50 for it.

  66. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 9:22 pm

    I suppose, but I'll make an exception for Colonel Obvious.

  67. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 9:23 pm

    good point… i paid 40 for L4D1 about a month before the announcement that L4D2 was coming… i jsut hope they treat L4D2 like they treat TF2 and do lots of updates and upgrades

    (i just wish they put those updates and upgrades on the xbox just as often as PC, oh well, guess ill just have to get both… at least i have job!)

  68. Zabrio on November 13th, 2009 9:23 pm

    Maybe they are boycotting spiritually?

  69. Roflcopter419 on November 13th, 2009 9:48 pm

    Wow. I got left4dead 1 for $20 around the same time. You got ripped off.

    And yes, I really do hope they upgrade TF2 for 360. They really need to, because a lot of the games I join have a class restriction glitch.

  70. BurnoutSpartan on November 13th, 2009 9:55 pm

    They also involve pasty white guys talking and pretending to be black.

  71. MasqueNoMercy on November 13th, 2009 9:58 pm

    it was an impulse buy! it was there and my friend loved the game! i was too young and reckless!

  72. BurnoutSpartan on November 13th, 2009 10:03 pm

    ALL GAMERS UNITE! Lets show Activision how important their PC fan service REALLY is- oh hell yea an airstrike!

    What? Don't judge me, I'm playing on Xbox.

  73. shadow649 on November 13th, 2009 10:12 pm

    Unless your like mii and only have stupid nintendo systems that no 3rd party in their right minds would make a fun game for.

  74. Joshy206 on November 13th, 2009 10:12 pm

    The perfect mix between Soapdish and Caruso: you have to submit to Shawn!

    On a side note… I see what you did there, Nick.

  75. Joshy206 on November 13th, 2009 10:14 pm

    This was quite possibly the hardest time I've had to -1 you. It was actually funny :P

  76. shadow649 on November 13th, 2009 10:15 pm

    No spies or heavy weapons guys though… or dispensers but they do have nukes!

  77. shadow649 on November 13th, 2009 10:16 pm

    Judging takes too much effort i'll work out on my wii fit then maybe then i'll be tuff enough to judge you.

  78. clfreak on November 13th, 2009 10:16 pm

    So they can complain at better speeds, with better quality, to more people.
    /zing

  79. shadow649 on November 13th, 2009 10:17 pm

    but church of falcon members and me will help him and negate your not letting him do that.

  80. clfreak on November 13th, 2009 10:18 pm

    It always disturbs/annoys me whenever someone says that.
    I mean, how useless can you get? "I'm [insert nonsense here] spiritually."
    So… you'll die before the event and haunt me?

  81. clfreak on November 13th, 2009 10:20 pm

    This would probably be more amusing to me if I lived in a country where we actually got anything….
    Ah, who am I kidding, it's still pretty funny!

  82. BlueChameleon on November 13th, 2009 10:40 pm

    Wait I just remembered:

    I've seen this before, before someone added on the Motivational Poster and horribly fugged up the quality of the initial image.

    Hey you got Colonel Obvious' old avatar!
    Nice to see it again.

  87. Manny_Calavera on November 14th, 2009 1:52 am

    Proven fact, boycotting has never, ever worked in the games industry.

  88. Nick Soapdish on November 14th, 2009 2:22 am

    I'd be buying Left 4 Dead 2 if I could get a version that wasn't censored. I saw a demo of the censored version that's gonna be sold down here and it's way tamer then Left 4 Dead 1. Bodies disappear before they even hit the ground, barely any blood at all. It's amazing how clean the place looks when zombies disappear instantly. Seriously it's like you're fighting ghosts. Even the opening movie has parts missing. The demo helped clarify that I will not buy that game in that form. WORST EDIT EVER.

    What I don't understand is that I'm playing Borderlands and shooting heads, legs and arms off, gibbing people, incinerating them, electrocuting them so their brains pop out and hearing them scream. I can't go to PG rated violence in Left 4 Dead.

  89. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:25 am

    i seriously say SENTRY GOIN UP whenever i put one up

  90. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:26 am

    here it is, how about you turn around for a sec while a grab it

  91. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:28 am

    my facvorite is a probably `10 year old that was playing with his "girl freind" and he said hed been in her hole

  92. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:28 am

    you can mute anyone on xbox

  93. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:31 am

    sorry but
    WONT LET YOU DO THAT FOX

  94. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:32 am

    note to all flamers i know that its not that but i realy just wanted to act out

  95. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:36 am

    he is a colonel after all

  96. Acrazymonke on November 14th, 2009 2:37 am

    u have to say that that is alot of -1nes ive only seen you get to 18 let alone 30!!!

  97. Roflcopter419 on November 14th, 2009 2:52 am

    Most games, anyway.

  98. Roflcopter419 on November 14th, 2009 2:53 am

    Aristocrat: Oh no. Pork rinds. My one weakness. Ow. *sarcasm*
    Protester: HA! SERVES YOU RIGHT! *leaves*
    Aristocrat: nom nom nom

  99. Roflcopter419 on November 14th, 2009 2:54 am

    No, riots actually get stuff done. Especially when done with chainsaws.

  100. BurnoutSpartan on November 14th, 2009 3:11 am

    Because sometimes in this busy world, they isn't enough time to give everyone a proper beating!

  101. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 5:00 am

    Australians unite

  102. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 5:02 am

    they may have a boycott out there but you have one… in here *points to heart*

  103. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 5:12 am

    i guess that would make you acrazymonke

  104. ZeikHunter on November 14th, 2009 5:44 am

    I'll start boycott eating so I can get my own kitchen. I'm serious!

    Mmm, I love this new TV dinner they're making. Yummy…

    I hate not having my own kitchen!

  105. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 7:16 am

    and hes all out of +1's

  110. Miketuu on November 14th, 2009 12:35 pm

    Me on tf2 pc: Sentry Ahead! (voice command)
    other guy: Well NO SHIT N***A (mic)

  111. Miketuu on November 14th, 2009 12:49 pm

    A SEQUEL, USING THE SAME ENGINE AND HAVING NO REAL DIFFERENCE IN GAME PLAY AT ALL, AND YET IT'S GLORIFIED AS THE SECOND COMING? is it really that hard to figure out why I hate COD and love tf2? JARATE TO THE COD FANBOYS! The only reason I wanted WaW was the nazi zombies mode, the only thing changed.

  112. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 4:07 pm

    you are so gonna get a negative review for this

  113. Badonk on November 14th, 2009 4:59 pm

    Gotta love blogs, don't like it? bitch about it and call people who do fags!

  114. shadow649 on November 14th, 2009 6:49 pm

    Psst i'm joking :)

  115. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 7:01 pm

    no the other guy im gonna find his gamer tag and make him…slightly less than 5 star

  116. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 7:04 pm

    and lyrics from the full monty

  117. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 7:05 pm

    what about that monk that set himself on fire to protest the l4d2 censored edition

  118. rory_m on November 14th, 2009 7:08 pm

    its only popular because of the great porn titles it can make like call of booty anal assault

  119. Irish_Monkey on November 14th, 2009 7:54 pm

    Oh, Call of Duty Fanboys. They never fail to amuse me. Whether it be signing a petition to boycott yet still play it, or whether it's the fact that they say they don't care about the prestige edition, even though they secretly want the night vision goggles to creep around as if they are Soap.

  120. Ataeru on November 14th, 2009 8:53 pm

    your E-peen will not drop in the presence of Colonel, stop trying.

  121. shadow649 on November 14th, 2009 10:37 pm

    YAY :) that saves me the effort. but whats less than 5? I forget how to count… lets look at my keyboard 1 2 3 4 9000 5 hmmm….

  122. Manny_Calavera on November 15th, 2009 12:07 am

    His protest wasn't (here it comes) hot-issue enough to count.

  123. rory_m on November 15th, 2009 7:05 am

    oh shit now you gone and done it im gonna get my hommies on to you

  124. Cajun Raccoon on November 15th, 2009 11:52 am

    Its ok I have a 360 and I sitll won't get this game. I don't know why but it just doesn't appeal to me :(

  125. Cajun Raccoon on November 15th, 2009 11:55 am

    Thats why you get a good group of loyal friends and stay in an xbl party. That makes game so much better :)

  126. Cajun Raccoon on November 15th, 2009 11:58 am

    So you're saying 5 is perhaps…. Over 9000?
