Upset and Dissapointed - This is what happened to Nuketown

Posted by rlbl on Nov 19, 2012 10:56 AM

    Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games. 

 

*sigh*

 

Question: Would you have pre-ordered it if you knew?

 

I am very disappointed:

 

- NT2025 only available in custom games

- NT zombies part of the season pass...

 

So I paid $20 for some (not so) shiny coins and exclusive camo and a couple of themes!?

 

Nice....

      The made a huge deal out of this in all the commercials for the game. Kinda strange they let everyone play for less then a week and then take it away.

    I would have pre ordered it but with not as much anticipation because I truly felt that they were going to let us play it at will. It seems they have miss lead many in there decision to acquire this game based on the "preorder" promise.

     

    The feeling I get? Carrot danglers if you know what I mean. It seems like a cheap tactic that was used to secure as many release copies as possible to inflate numbers. Kinda like buying a used car from a shady car dealer you know?

     

    Just sad, that's all. I do not regret my purchase, but I regret with dealing with people that use things like this as a model for business practices.

      You said it before my friend... and you were right.

       

      Never again.

        In instances like this, I don't want to be right. SMH, I guess hope has lost weight now. On to the next one, won't catch me losing too much sleep on Activision anymore.

      My rear end is really sore and I don't even remember being kissed.

       

       

      They just added insult to injury.

        I'm not upset, as I predicted as much from this company. I do feel bad for all the people that have yet to be able to play online who preordered for Nuketown just to have it removed before they could play it. Sh!tty deal no matter how you slice it.

    I buyed the game also for Nuketown. But i played only 4 games online and after that i cant get online anymore. I only get a stupid message telling me i cannot connect with the server. If i connect on my friends PS3 i get the same error. So i'm really pist off now!!! Why do you give ppl a map if they preorder and why a double xp weekend if a lot ppl cant play it!

    I didn't pre-order but went instead to a midnight release. Would I have done that if I'd have known Nuketown would be gone after a few days? No, no I would not. In fact, there's a 50% I wouldn't have bought the game at all.

     

    I was not overly excited about the game as a whole but the idea of playing Nuketown all the time if the rest of the game wasn't fun is what made me take a punt on it. Now I have a game that I'm already beginning to find major flaws with and it's just gotten worse.

     

    At this rate I'll be playing Black Ops 2 like it's an old release and will be making MW3 my go to game again. Despite that games flaws it has some soul and is a good laugh. This so far...not so much.

      If you ask me, this was false advertising. No where in any of my packaged fine print does it state avalile for a few days, and then custom maps only...who other than kids plays custom maps???? It's bad enough we have to wait a month past xbox for dlc. I got over that awhile ago, as that will never change...but this, this one takes the cake. Minus the horrid lag fest of multiplayer+ the loss of a map I thought I was getting as a perk for preordering=one fail ass game period. I am going back to MW3. This is shameful. Time to trade in my copy of this crap. Sad part is, I cannot even get full price back for this. Last time I buy a treyarch/activition game. EPIC FAIL.

    I didnt play it much but that is a low blow to those who thought it was an exclusive thing.

      I think the marketing and business decisions that are being made are very poor (unless I have miss-read something somewhere... which is totally possible).

       

      When they indicated that NTZ was going to be part of the season pass, I already questioned why they released that information after most HE and CP editions were purchased, sold out and shipped.

       

      And now this? Even the standard pre-orders are useless*.  And considering most people (speaking not for myself but the entire community) could not play on the 2XP weekend (in whole or in part), most would have been better off not buying the game (yet).

       

      * Useless is a strong word: what I mean is someone going into a store today and picking up a copy in regular hours would have the same benefits as all the people who pre-ordered, or went to a midnight release (unless you like coins and themes)

       

      *sigh*

       

      I like the game and will have fun playing it, but Activision... this is my last one.  Thanks for the run(s).

       

      (and before anyone says: "They never said it was going to be up forever"... did they say the opposite either?)
