Call of Duty Classic Removed from PSN

MusterBuster from the Official Playstation forums writes:

"Hey guys,

COD Classic has been removed as it was never supposed to be available for purchase. There is currently a promotion running for purchasers of the MW2 hardened/prestige pack which gives users a voucher code to claim COD Classic.

I'm trying to find out if it will be available for you to purchase soon, leave it with me

MB"

Translation: "Infinity Ward/Activision gave the PS3 too much of a good thing, and must deserve their check from Microsoft somehow."

@BELOW: Okay, so...I should change this to "We need to give people more of a reason to blow more of their money to feed our greedy pockets", then.

peeps5291d ago

my mate has the 360 hardened edition so could get this. however i don't believe it ever appeared on the live store

Sitdown5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

seek therapy for your issues with Microsoft...clearly its not healthy.

Ohh, and you should probably replace "deserve" with "earn"...it would make your sentence more coherent.

peeps5291d ago

well i guess the point is that getting the hardened edition included the cool stuff + early access to this game. i.e. they were going to put it both on live and psn eventually, but gave first choice to ppl who bought hardened. thats usually how limited edition packages work...

you seem really annoyed with activision/iw though so i can't imagine anything would change your opinion

testerg355291d ago

woohoo.. its back to let's blame microsoft.

Saaking5291d ago

Why would they take it down? Do they not like money?

JD_Shadow5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

Did they say that it was exclusive for the buyers of that version from the beginning, or was that just sprung on us recently? I'm having issue with understanding how such an oversight, if true, would've even happened.

@sitdown: And you can be the therapist, right?

EDIT: Are you f#cking serious? I lose another bubble because of this? Jesus, N4G, GET CONTROL OF THE DUPE ACCOUNTS!

@Apocwhen: Okay, I see now. I stand corrected, then. Wow! Wonder who f#cked THAT up. That and...what is going to happen to those that already downloaded it that shouldn't have? And why would this be all Sony's fault?

And thanks for answering my question without insulting me here. Your bubble is already in the mail.

@sitdown: Judging from you comment history, I could see the "therapy" I could receive from you, which is nothing I would WANT!

Apocwhen5291d ago

Robert Bowling stated weeks ago that it would only be available to Hardened Edition purchasers first, and that later down the line it would be available to everyone on the store. Sony messed up by putting it on the store for everyone.

Here is the source info:

Sitdown5291d ago

Actually, I could be the therapist...since I have the credentials....but with that said, I think your issue might be little deeper than I am willing to take on at this time.

With that said, I am not one of the ones who took a bubble, even though I can see why people would take them.

oh well. i dl'd it on tuesday lol £12 seemed a fair price tbh

PrimordialSoupBase5290d ago

Or just get it on PC: how it was meant to be played.

Arsenal4Ever5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

Actibillion wasn't happy with the MW2 sales so they....

Just ignore me =[

nutbear965291d ago

HAHA! LOL! I got it yesterday! But what was odd was that it said 12th but it didn't have any of the store update for that day so it must of updated for COD Classic and then again (at about 10 in the UK, IN THE EVENING!) with all the normal stuff for yesterdays update but it is quite laggy and the matchmaking is quike bad but I guess not many people got it on the store and people that got it with Hardened or Prestige Editions will be too busy playing MW2! But COME ON! 24 Missions and 81% trophies on Uncharted 2 and half way through the second last mission on Crushing difficulty. And I've started to play R&C ACRIT on Challenge Mode on Hard and there will be free Uncharted 2 Multiplayer DLC before the end of the year apparantly?

solsub5291d ago

I was a CoD fan back when it was first released on PC in '03. I loved the SP but enjoyed the MP that much more.

Does anyone know what the max online player count will be for this version? I ask because it was a big part of the enjoyment as certain maps were well suited to a rather large player count (anywhere from 32 to even 64).

Thanks!

El_Colombiano5291d ago

P2P, no dice for big player games.

solsub5291d ago

Ah yes, I seemed to overlook the whole P2P mess.

Thanks man.

Apocwhen5291d ago

Only 8 player online as far as I know.

peeps5291d ago

"Only 8 player online as far as I know. "

yeh it is which is pretty pathetic tbh. especially when i remember playing 32 player rooms as standard, cus thats just what the maps suited.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G272d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood272d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G272d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade272d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality272d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator271d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G272d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85272d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G272d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo272d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg272d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast271d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
