we love the gaming community as it has been because it has been a grass roots open source effort based on...Well what else ..community.With open server files that serve as a platform for The Craft.

The craft being Server Admin,Modding,Mapping and the resultant communities that are facilitated either directly dedicated to these disiplines or the clans,that exist to play the game and to help educate their clan members on how to properly play and setup the game for the most satisfying gaming experience possible.

COD 7 For whom does this game toll?

This game tolls for thee.

You the COD Community.

While the community is resilient and talented it cannot survive forever on the Axiom that what is old is new again.Despite the amazing efforts of groups such as Blackmonkeys.de with the Total Star Wars conversion mod for COD4,or the Vietnam mod For CODWAW by RGN No community can thrive without new content to stimulate creativity.

There is no shame nor should there be any reluctance in the community to let Treyarch know that we are there to support the next release by using our wallets as well as our mouths to trumpet this game.

Treyarch in turn must deliver some evidence early on that the game will accomodate PC players in 3 ways.'

Open server files with full server admin for the community to provide responsible and self regulated anticheat.

Continued support for /record or the CODtv hook as an enticement for competitive play.

SDK aka map and mod tools at some point.The community cannot be split and the full benefit of community action and it's buying power stems from it's solidarity.

Treyarch knows this as well as every enlightened gamer who has played this series since befor MW2.

Treyarch has intimated throught it's community manager,jd_2020,that it is there to support the PC player in some fashion.

The evidence for some support has been seen with continued patching of CODWAW and even the late addition of the CODtv hook that allows live streaming of matches from dedicated servers.

But just what PC support is is a nebulous statement at best at this time when other games sit behind GUI Firewalls and lean towards the holy grail of microtransactions that are beyond the scope of what has been the typical DLC.Such as mappacks.

Treyarch did an absolutely fantastic job with patching CODWAW and selling DLC.And I think this community would pay for DLC just as console players have ponied up.

I know I would and I read many forum posts where players now attuned to the reality that is taking place in the gaming industry.

COD7 exists as a game at this point and Treyarch must know what this game will offer or not offer the PC player.

If the descriminating PC gamer is to expect support it is going to have to pay for it.

We the traditional COD series gamer must have a credo that we intend to live by if we are to expect Treyarch to provide us with support that we can live with.

The Pledge

We the gamer: Are willing to buy DLC for Treyarch's next release

We the gamer are in need of dedicated server control for proper anticheat and competitive play

We the gamer understand the delay in offering Map and mod tools so as not to affect the developers ability to sell DLC

We the gamer need continued support for /record and or CODtv

We the gamer will continue to vigilantly refute and refuse to illegally download copies of the game while willingly accepting secure distribution of the game itself.

We the gamer ask that you dialogue with us as soon as possible to clarify whether we will have a role in helping to enhance overall sales of product.

Yours Truly
The COD Community
