[cod] 1.3 patch

Tue Jun 20 11:37:23 EDT 2006

All of the contacts are on the little booklet that comes with every COD
version. I wokred for av as a UNIX admin in their HQ. I have mailed some
of my friends asking about issues with PB, LINUX etc etc.
They
only time they responded, was when we were face to face (lunch reunios
etc.)
Try emailing the president of IW and Activison's
president. Perhaps if we get an article published in a major magazine
might be a better aproach.
Or like I suggested. Lets call a
strike for ALL AV games, but not for a day -- a whole week or weekend.
