Counter-Strike 2 petition emerges

The last major petition we heard of that was targeted at Valve was the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott. It’s been some time since that petition died down but now another one has emerged, this one a bit less hostile — It’s been over 5 years since Valve released Counter-Strike: Source and we have yet to see a continuation of the series yet, which is what the above mentioned petition focuses on.

This Counter-Strike 2 petition group has already amassed over 25,000 people hoping to get Valve’s attention. Below is their mission statement:

“We want to bolster interest in CS so more people play it, and if we want to regain mainstream attention in the game it needs to be re released as Counterstrike 2. Even if it was just re released with some fixes/patches, additional official maps, a graphical upgrade and a new shiny box …Counterstrike would then survive as a franchise and become popular once again.”

I don’t know about you guys but Counter-Strike was one of the games that really got me hooked on first person shooters. I, for one, fully support the petition.

Infinity Ward responds to MW2 petition

October 20th, 2009 Posted in FPS, PC by Jeff Baker

Earlier today we let you know that a petition for dedicated Modern Warfare 2 servers has garnered over 100,000 signatures. Now, Infinity Ward’s Jason West and Vince Zampella has come forth to comment on the petition and frankly, they aren’t having.

Apparently, instead of catering to the “modders and tuners” they are focusing on the player experience and trying to make it legit as possible. In fact, the two have said that they have received a large amount of complaints regarding cheating in Call of Duty 4 and the inability to find a server without a cheater.

So petitioners, blame it on the cheaters for no dedicated servers.

Starcraft 2 fans petition Blizzard to add LAN support

July 1st, 2009 Posted in Online, PC by Jeff Baker

First Blizzard announced that Starcraft 2 would not feature LAN support, fans were discouraged, then Blizzard defended them not adding LAN support and fans were still discouraged. Finally, those who were discouraged banded together and did the only thing they could do; formed a petition.

There is currently over 25,000 signatures and the guys who put it together really put some effort into it, breaking down and explaining exactly why Blizzard should re-add LAN support.

Will this work? Probably not. Is it the effort that counts? You bet.
