It was such a towering creative, cultural and commercial achievement. The kind and scale that only come around every five years or so.
CoD has never not been problematic in some significant way, but to see what it's become today is so beyond the pale, so deeply offensive, it's just heartbreaking.

CoD 4: Modern Warfare was the first game I ever got a free review copy of as a games journo. It's hard to describe the feeling of playing that game ahead of anyone else. It was like standing in the shallows and feeling the tide pulling at your ankles, realising the tidal wave that was about to hit.

This kind of corporate behaviour is not only completely unacceptable, it is reprehensible and ironically, a blight against all that was once great about this truly phenomenal, and deeply influential IP.
We don't need to accept this kind of behaviour from Acti. Our medium deserves so much better.

Thanks, man! We were (and still are) so appreciative of all your support. That is a special game that's very dear to our hearts. Still gutted it met with such a tragic fate, but stoked you and so many others got to experience its magic. <3
