[cod] Don't kill the messenger...

[Fusion]

What I Usually Do With Our Clan, Just Because We Run Multiple Gaming Servers, We Usually Expect The Linux Binaries To Take Longer Than The Windows Release,  Maybe The Companies Need To Shift Their Sights On Releasing The Linux Version First, Or Right Along With The Windows Version, Or Release Nothing Untill They Are Both Done.

Luckilly I Told Everyone Not To Update Untill The Linux Binaries Are In, And The Game Server Keeps Chuggin Along Full :)

        Thanks for your help Ryan and your honesty, But as for activision/GMI this is completely disheartening and unprofessional for a company. When a deadline is set, it needs to be met! If I would have known this, I would not have had my clan of 200 members upgrade to the new version. Currently I have THREE servers that now sit offline which was awaiting the release for TODAY as PROMISED on the patch site.

        I'm the floor manager of a multi million dollar call center. If I set a deadline for the amount of staffing or the amount of calls we would be able to take in for the tech support line and did not meet the standards that I set forth, that would be one less contract that my company has!

        Fortunately, they are not in a position where gamers will stop playing their product, but they disappoint them in every way possible!

        Once again, we are let down by them!
