Every game this discussion happens, every game it turns into a huge feud. Locking. If the developers decide to do something for the forum that's fine. If not, that's fine too.

But I wouldn't say, no, either.

The OP wants a token for his 46 posts? Funny.
No, he is being unselfish and taking in consideration those who have been here for a good amount of time and put effort forth.

Yeah right. Probably somebodies second account. They are rewarding people that played and prestiged in previous games. Not people who come on the forums to mostly complain. (Thats not directed at anyone in particular)

They merged the forums count. He has less than a thousand posts on this forum.

Mad or jealous because you have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands. Don't tell me you have any type of social life outside COD. 8000 posts since June tell another story dude.Live in a bubble?

In a sense, it does though. They may not say they do, but the devs regurarly come here to see what needs tweaked, what new ideas the community likes etc.

Okey maybe i was a little harsh but being part of this forum doesn't make the game. hey i'm on the forum and i don't even own or have preordered the game. you know why people get on the forums? it because its free.

The same comment you made about "nerds" on forums could be made about "nerds" on games. Alot of people on the forums play the games and come back to have discussions.

First off, IW is rewarding people who have played the game not nerds who spend days talking about the game. If you are impatient enough to get on forums and have spent hours of your life on them,I suggest you get a life. If you are not enjoying the game for what ever reason simply don't invest you time and money on it. I play the PC version and have played every single game since CoD4. I know that the lack of intel leaves PC game owners with no opportunity for tokens. That just tells me that I should have fun playing the game insted of rushing to be on top using cheap game tokens that really do nothing but boost already huge egos.

You would have to have a reasonable amount of time not posts.

@ everyone who was complaining/fighting

This is why we can't have nice things!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:11:08 GMT

Hmm, would be hard to implement, some "veterans" are nothing more than trolls (snapr for example) that have been here for years, do we really want to reward them too?

Re: Forum veteran member should get a token.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:08:38 GMT

This would be a better reward program than the one that gives /rewards hackers, cheaters, scum.

I agree. I spent time of my life being involved on the community. I think it would be a great idea!

Yeah, I don't think devs will give tokens to forum members.

Reason: Dev's dislike most forum members.

Us and probably YouTubers are the whiners of the community who get dev's to patch certain aspects of the game.

By the way, I do use the forums alot and I consider myself a whiner from time to time.

In what world is that true? Twitter is where all the back-and-forth happens between the community & the devs. I don't see Vahn, JD2020 (before he got the axe), 402, Condry, Beahm, or Schofield on these forums, but I see them multiple times a day on Twitter. Hell, Twitter is where the devs ask us what we think & what we want -- they most certainly do NOT do that on these forums....

EDIT: And yes, w/o these forums I would still get my annual cod game. This forum is far from the be-all & end-all of Call of Duty.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:12:16 GMT

Without anyone posting on these forums then you wouldn't have the games you enjoy or the patches to certain problems. We can at least get a little reward back?

Re: Forum veteran member should get a token.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:08:25 GMT

Perhaps, but it's still an awful idea. The forum has NOTHING to do w/ the game & people shouldn't be rewarded for posting on it. Let's say he gets his way, then what? People will want a token because they post #MW3 10x a day on Twitter -- Twitter is a more relevant conduit for the community than this forum is.

Where does it end?
