If this is just a DDoS... imagine IW.net (the replacement for dedicated servers), with maybe millions of players, plus DDoS.... ohh the lag.

It's actually more than that, because for some reason Infinity thought they could charge PC gamers 59.99 this time around. What a laugh. I hope this is a DDoS attack.
I do not think it is right for them to attack a company like this for simply making a decision they don't agree with. People should just play a different game, it's not like the FPS genre has no competition.
The boycott is cool but this isn't.

wii games, well the top selling ones are party games, and some of them are barely video games, wii fit for example. They are so far removed from conventional video games that its hard to compare them. Quality is all down to opinion, im sure the people buy wii games think they are of the highest quality compared to other platforms, the same thing as movies, Transformers2 and Star Trek were highly succesful movies, but were silly nonsense to me.
