Read the warranty:  it says free from defects on the recording medium specifically.

IN NO EVENT WILL ACTIVISION BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

By playing the game you agreed to the terms in the manual.

BY OPENING THIS PACKAGE, AND/OR USING THE PROGRAM, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF
THIS LICENSE WITH ACTIVISION PUBLISHING, INC. (“ACTIVISION”).

personally my game experience has been a good one. I have excellant connection and yeah ive experianced lag, but only 10% of the time. Of course ive come across glitchers and boosters(possibly hackers) but ive just avoided them, ie; go round the rock(doh!)or just fmj the f%$ker, likewise with boosters, they seem to be in free for all or barebones, so i dont play those games.....easy. so to conclude.....game cool, roll on mw3.

Actually IW/Activision can be held responsible for anything that is NOT your persons fault pertaining to MW2. You buy a product you expect it to function as intended. As such you can sue for defects that aren't being addressed/fixed as a breach of contract. The contract being they sell you a product that in good faith works without incident and when such incident is found it is fixed.

Based solely on their own warranty they make no mention of software issues which in it's self gives merit to any action taken.

And just to clarify a "Recording Medium" is the CD it's self. The warranty is concerning the disc being free of defects for 90 days which happened/happens on it's on, and not caused from something that you have done, ie; scratches, broken disc, dropped, or humanly damaged anyway or another.

The software and maintenance of such software is not protected under a warranty. So by not fixing know exploits, glitches, etc... is a violation of any sort of contract entered into between yourself and said company. So yes, they can be sued....and no you don't need a class action suit to do so.

Most Class Action suits take place only after one person files the grievance in a Civil Court. Afterwards more Petitioners may also be amended into the suit making it a class action grievance. But individuals may file the same grievances separately if they so wish.

I can get way more detailed on this subject, but I won't as no real reason to do so. :)

F.Y.I: I almost took a job as a legal aid so I know a thing or two about law..;)

Seriously folks...who cares about the ROCK!!!  Move on!

Here are your options as far as I can tell:

A) Play the map and don't worry about it.
B) Play the map, but avoid the 'Rock' area.
C) Play the map and get some 'free' fmj kills to level up that gun you like so much a little faster.
D) Vote to skip the map and/or leave the room and find another!

Either way...STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT!  Its all been said and done before.

I watch 'Law & Order' does that count? :p

"Matlock was on at the bar last night...sound wasn't on, but I think I got the jest of it."

Hrmm...so a suit for violating a contract will be laughed out of court huh? So a guy that has played a certain online PC game for over 20,000 hours files a suit against the maker for "getting him addicted" but yet the judge in this case has refused to through it out, but a suit against IW/Activison for allowing others to hack the game and infecting others that have spent real money on their product would be laughed outta court. Yeah I see that one happening.

But yeah, no one is going to file suit and is why I never went any further with my initial post. Mainly because just about everyone here that complains about all this stuff are little kids and smart ass know it all teenagers. So it is what it is.

Good luck, remember to let us all know how you get along.

actually Jassie it is under warranty. Just because its not in the (DISC) and is a dlc the dlc is still part of the GAME and the warranty covers that.  since this is not an after market software (made by another game company) the original warranty includes the dlc. If the add on pack was made by a independant company then you would be right. eg. If you by a car from ford and buy only genuine ford parts from a ford dealer (rims/exhaust etc) then you are covered by warranty from ford. If you buy your ford and decide to by aftermarket parts from a independant suplier then ford would not be liable for damage or extra wear on the car. In this case Iw/activision made both the Disc and Dlc so the warranty still applies. There are variations on consumer protection laws in different countries but here in the USA and CANADA the law is very clear . That a company cannot sell or continue to sell (with out a fix of some kind)a product that is  Unsafe/defective/or does not operate as described. Now if IW came up with a fix , then there is no legal means to go after them, but they are very aware of the problem and refuse to fix it. That makes them liable. I would urge all readers to check you local/federal laws and rights you have for dealing with companies that refuse to fix/correct/refund a product that has a flaw  in it. No where in the manual (bookelt )does it say how to get into the rock

Im from the US.. But I fail to believe the DLC is under the warranty of the game.

If it was required DLC then I can see being able to sue over it(assuming the people involved in the lawsuit werent passed their 30 day warranty). But its optional DLC which makes a big difference. Yes you paid for it. But no where in the DLC info does it say its covered.

And I can buy an iPod, and buy iPod brand headphones for it separately, but the headphones wont be covered under the same warranty as the iPod. I chose to buy different headphones for it. It came with headphones that were covered. Just because they made the new pair I bought doesnt mean that they will be covered by my original iPod warranty.

This doesnt make any sense seeing how Black Ops is also published by Activision.
