I have been cruising the orum lately and not posting much. This is because my computer (yes, win. XP) somehow managed to get all the CTD and corrupt savegame bugs at the same time. So my game is useless for now. So I sit here and listen to you people rant and whine for awhile, and you know what I see consistently in the subjects of your posts? "CA! Listen to me!" "CA! look at this!". This seems to be a trend with the new people. It is our privilege that CA even reads these posts and replys to us. Not our right. Most of the time you will get more information if you plead to the other people on his board. Most of them don't seem to have lives and thy would be more than happy to answer your question (just joking). http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif End Rant.

Well its certainly not a right. Nor is it an entitlment. But I think something is seriously wrong in an industry where you have to feel "privileged" when you get a little customer support.

Hats of to CA for being here!

I don't know about right. But it seems to me that CA and Actiscism get a lot of free testing from us. Therefor it is actualy a symbiotic relationship with a give and get.
With neither party getting exactly what they want all the time. Otherwise why would companies have official forums. They would just have a website touting there newest game. Obviously they gain from our insights and experienses in the game. I'm talking about thousands of hrs. of playtime knowledge. All they have to put up with is a
little bitching once in a while.

You can damn well expect its our right! When you pay money for anything you get a right to bitch until the cows some home. As far as not having lives, yea you'll have to admmit most of us dont have lives cuase we play these games so much, nothing wrong with that. Computer games are just like drugs, an escape from reality.

Activision has the patch in QA... go email them instead and tell them to move it.
