A lot of people in the Call of Duty community aren’t that happy with Modern Warfare 3. They complain that the graphics and single player campaign are the same old, and that the multiplayer is beset with a variety of oversights and issues. Hmmm, I’m no CoD fanatic, but that kind of sounds like every Call of Duty to me, but whatever, this time it’s apparently so bad a protest is required.
The protest in question is the “MW3 Blackout” — basically, the plan is to send Activision a message by having as many people as possible refrain from playing MW3 online, on April 20th.
Wait a minute, I think a heard something. Listen hard and I bet you’ll hear it too — it’s Bobby Kotick, laughing his ass off.
Hit the jump to check out a video promoting the MW3 Blackout cause…
Sigh. Guys…Activision could not possibly give less of a s–t about you not playing MW3 for one day. Hell, you’re doing them a service. You’re saving them server costs and headaches for a day. If you want to send a message, it’s time to make the ultimate sacrifice and not buy the next CoD game. Don’t worry, you’ll be okay — believe it or not there are other games that allow you to shoot people online. In fact I’m starting my own movement right now — it’s called the “Be a Sensible Consumer” movement. Get on board now.

The video is probably the gayest thing I have ever seen, and I watched hardcore gay porn for six hours this morning.
LMAO!
Does this mean I can actually jump into a game that’s a little more evenly matched and live longer than .2 seconds since all the hardcore d-bags will be elsewhere?
I know right??? That’d be nice.
i made it 46 seconds in. i didn’t really understand (or care to understand) all the computer jargon bullshit. but they sound like a bunch of babies.
i for one am looking forward to the 20th. It’ll be great to play without people like that for a whole day.
I play CoD:MW all the time and have no idea what that guy is talking about.
also… don’t play COD on 4:20? they can’t be serious.
More like MW3 SMOKEout! Am I right? Whoooa ho! Drug humor!
So does that make me an unwitting protester by not even owning the game? Oh crap, I’d better purchase and play it the entirety of April 20th.
You know what would really stick it to Activision? Join the Army! That’ll show em!
Ugh, I heard the level design in Afghanistan is terrible.
graphics are shit as well
Enemy AI is surprisingly lively.
Pfft…more mud huts and opium fields? Way to copy-and-paste guys.
It took them this long to realize that the CoD sequels are basically the same game with a few things changed? I got into the series at World at War and it took me one sequel to realize that MW2 was basically a recolor of WaW. I cannot believe that I of all people am doing this but…
Listen nerds, maybe if you weren’t focused on playing the game non-stop so you can max-out your Prestige level, you’d realize that there is a real world out there. There are no respawns and the perks aren’t exactly as great as a Sentry or an Assault Helicopter, but it has its benefits. If you don’t like the game, stop buying the Add-Ons don’t buy the Sequels! That’ll get their attention better than you taking a day off to rest your over used game systems.
Maybe instead of complaining about the flaws in your favorite video game, you should examine the flaws in your life.
I’m still fixated on your avatar. Here’s a quarter, ya little scamp.
And you’re grounded!
yeah, this game has been out for a while… why would they give a shit now?
Somebody call the waaambulance. I’ll stay here with the mehdic.
Get this man some wahburgers and french cries stat!
How bout some boohooberry pie for dessert?
