The PC port of DMC 4 is by far the best version, but I agree Bayonetta is in a different class.

3 and a half hours into this Wii U stream and I'm just waiting for the shit to hit the fan, ha.
Good thing to have on as I play through Dark Souls again.

Tweeted Patrick about the shitty Black Ops 2 scam. I really hope he does his thing with it, first time in ages I've felt so angry about something like this. If anyone can write a good piece on this it will be him.
Real nice having someone on the team you trust to call out bullshit like this.

250,000 people were populating the map this weekend. It's pretty fucking huge news in my eyes. Complete bait and switch.
I almost never agree with Folorium but he is right, There were alot of people that preordered it mainly for the map and for them to take it out of rotation with no good reason makes it look even more like one.

It's a shit map.
Was it the most popular playlist?

I'm not sure, but it was exceptionally popular. I'd be surprised if it wasn't. 250k is a lot of people to be playing one playlist at once.
Yes, it is. That is Halo 4's daily population across all playlists.
I'm thinking there may be legitimate reasons to have taken it out. Mainly, it could be noticeably affecting search times in the other hoppers.
Right now it's not available anywhere for ranked game. The only way to play is is via custom games with friends.

It's a fun and different map. I can see why CoD pros would hate it, as it's small and any noob can run around and kill you with anything.
I know that, but if the map can only be played by itself in it's own exclusive playlist before the pull then I can see why they would so they can merge the fanbase.
It's not free, that's marketeer hand waving. You paid for it when you bought the game.
Fun I guess is up for interpretation, in this case. Also, different? It's a re-skin of itself in Black Ops, and every single Call of Duty since 4(aka MW1) has had a map of it's size, fast paced, spawn death.

Going by how they ended the stream yesterday, Wii U ended up killing the love for everything. :/
Wow
This is as bad as when that Rock Band app ended service
I can't believe theres defenders for this
I loved playing Shipment with 30+ players on the PC version of CoD 4. Easy way to rank up.

This might come in handy in some future bombcast thread.
I don't mind the existence of that GIF, I just hope to never see it again.
I need to clean my eyes.
You get an A for effort, but you really should have put the Vinny picture and text on the laptop screen.This might come in handy in some future bombcast thread.
They did take people's money.
The map was compensation to the user for paying them money before the game hit shelves. They got to use that money before the game even came out, and the map was what the user got in return. It's like if you loaned somebody money (preorder cash), and then a week after they paid you back (with the game) they took the interest (map) back out of your account.
Sounds like a scam to me.

It's fun for me and my immediate friends. I dont really give a shit about stuff like kill death ratios and streaks. I just want to have fun running around killing dudes. I played some kill confirmed matches on it, which was pure chaos and fun.
Like I said, I can see why CoD vets hate it, since any idiot noobtard can kill them with anything. It reminds me of the area shooters where everyone is just running around and you respawn every 10 seconds. There's plenty of other maps to show off elite sniping skills or expert knowledge of the area.
It's a Call of Duty game. The entire multiplayer experience is built around joining a matchmaking playlist, leveling up, unlocking shit, repeat.
The map might as well not be in the game if it's relegated to custom games. Custom games don't earn you XP and are not serviced by any sort of matchmaking or server browser-type features (you can only join through invites). The entire time I played CoD4, I think I joined a custom game once or twice. That's not the way those games are designed to be played.

Fine, if not a scam then a cunt move. Anti-consumer. Downright twatish. I didn't write that post expecting the terminology to be under scrutiny!
Love the three Mac Pros around Vinny desk.
I get your point fully, i just don't get the anger behind it
It's just a shitty practice to arbitrarily take features away from customers, especially when it's something so popular. Nuketown 2025 was set up as its own playlist where you could go enjoy that ridiculous chaos any time you wanted. "We never close" and all. Then it's gone. That's some bait and switch BS.
