We all remember the awful and inethical way activision handled the rearrangements at infinity ward and yet everyone still seems very excited about black ops.
I don't get it.
Aside from not buying it from a moral standpoint, what of treyarchs previous work suggests this is going to be awesome? The lack of prerelease reviews is pretty suspect imo

Goodjob son.  From what people saw of the game they seem to really like it so...

I'm not buying it

ok good luck with your protest

1. protests *rolls eyes* 
2. Internet protests *rolls eyes even more*
3. Activison Internet protests *rolls eyes and yawns*

It looks pretty good to me. So what if they last few games haven't been quite as good as Infinity Ward's? That doesn't mean this one will be bad, 

Protest? Come on. Wanna know why I'm not buying it? I don't want to play it. Simple as that.

You probably aren't the only one. If the internet is to believed, people love boycotting things, or at least talking about boycotting things. Sequels coming out too soon, game based on a book by a guy who hates homosexuals, game is set in Africa, etc.

If we actually knew what went down at IW, there might be a case for boycotting Activision's games, but we know so few of the actual details. Most of the stuff we've heard is hearsay and conjecture with very few actual facts.

I'm not buying it because I don't want it.  Said the same thing about WaW and MW 2.

I'm not buying it

It's just a video game.

I won't buy it, because there are better games and less expensive out there. 

People seem to think its awesome.
I'm not buying it though, 
1. I don't have money.
2. Why even dick with Treyarch's COD anyway?

because it looks great?  

I don't care about Activisions "evil" deeds. If they release interesting games then I buy them, Don't care about what happens behind the scenes. I'm not buying Black Ops because I'm not interested in another CoD game. I already own CoD 4 and that's enough CoD for me if I feel like playing CoD.

I gave up buying any Activision products after the way they handled Infinity Ward, unless it's second hand. If Black Ops is truly amazing I'll get it second hand in a few months. 
 
I enjoyed Call of Duty 3 and World at War so I have little doubt in what Treyarch can do. I have no interest in the multiplayer in this game, it's obvious that they won't have done anything drastic enough to change the fact it's Call of Duty. I'm just a Battlefield person is all. Zombies were pretty cool in WaW, but I played it n the PC where they gave away all of the DLC maps for free, there's no way I'd buy them.

Yeah screw activision they aren't getting my money.
*looks over at copy of starcraft 2 on shelf*
Nevermind. One copy of Black Ops please.

It was a bad thing that happened with   infinity ward but that does not mean that we have to go boycott a game another developer is making and trying very hard to do everything to please all of their  user base.   
And I don't get your second point, why does everyone say that the CoD games treyarch makes are bad ? yes they are not as "amazing" as  CoD2 and4 were but they are not bad. 
They are doing their best with the resources and time they are given and I  am hoping that BO sells well ,which it   definitely  will,  because  I for one think that Treyarch deserves some love. 

I certenly hope you're the only one not buying it out of protest. 
 
Infinity Ward made good games, but they were also fuckin' assholes. I'm not saying they deserved to be fired... but I know if I talked the kind of shit they did to my boss I would be.

I'm not buying it

I'm not buying it because I don't want to. At best I'll rent it and see the campaign, but I have zero interest in the multiplayer.

How noble of you...

Exams, money and bad company 2
 
Yeah, I said it!

UNETHICAL 

I'm getting it, looks awesome. Your loss?

More power to ya I say.  I'm gonna get it, but there's nothing wrong with voting with your wallet if that's what you wanna do.

i am not buying it because of how Activsion raised the price of modern warfare 2 and black ops by 5 pounds in the UK.

Because I'm tired of Call of Duty

I'm not buying it because CoD is garbage. FUCK your protest, man. Go protest a worthwhile cause.

WaW was my least favourite CoD title, and I almost didn't even buy MW2 because I dislike Activision anyway and didn't feel the urge. Only reason I got it was it was only £27 on release week in supermarkets. Combined with the fact CoD's have only been going downhill (or at least my interest in them sharply has) since CoD4 (which incidentally is still the best, and the one I have most fun playing) I will not be buying BO. They just aren't as fun as CoD4 was... Even as a shooter they don't stand up... all the perk nonsense that it has degraded into actually just reduces from the experience of shooting shit. Which is what a shooter should be about, right?

This game needs breasts for it to sell one billion copies.

Im not buying simply because I dont want to. Plus MW2 left a bad taste in my mouth

" @airules: You can't just take Infinity War'd side in that battle just because they are the developers and we are supposed to support them and not the publishers. Like Matty said, a lot of what was said to of happened there is distorted and unknown.  "

no money, I already bought MW1 and 2 and if the leap from 1 to 2 taught me anything it's that buying another CoD game is a waste of money. As for a boycott, it's almost impossible to not buy games published by activision, and it's not fair to the developers working under them; they haven't done anything wrong.

I'm simply not buying the game because I don't care about it. It's no big deal as far as I'm concerned. 
 
However, IW were constantly badmouthing Activision in public... I can hardly blame them for acting the way they did. I don't think they mishandled the situation whatsoever. 
 
Boycotting a game that you would otherwise purchase day one, in my opinion, is absolutely ridiculous. Why deprive yourself of a great gaming experience?

I thought WaW was better than MW2. Just saying. Also all companies are dicks so not really a moral concern for me.

" I won't buy it, because there are better games and less expensive out there.  "

I'm not buying it because it doesn't look like a fun game. But best of luck to ya :)

The only people that know what happened with the Infinity Ward + Activision situation is Infinity Ward and Activision.
