An Open Letter to Infinity Ward
Infinity Ward,
I don’t have a copy of Modern Warfare 2 and there’s a good reason for that; I haven’t gotten around to downloading it yet. The only reason I’m bothering to even download it is because the singleplayer sounds good as always…. for the whole 5 hours it lasts. However, having tried it on someone else’s machine, the multiplayer is unplayable, and I wouldn’t pay anything close to full retail price for a 5 hour game not named Portal, let alone pay the higher than normal price you’re asking.
But it didn’t have to be this way.
Just 6 months ago I was a day one sale; I even considered pre-ordering it which something I almost never do, and now I’m glad I didn’t. I spent hours playing Call of Duty 4, and regard it is as probably my favorite multiplayer FPS game not produced by Valve. I skipped Treyarch’s World at War imposter, a game which was only really notable for its Nazi Zombie game mode, and waited with anticipation for your next masterpiece.
Then shit hit the fan.
