Aspyr’s Call Of Duty Deluxe Edition UB Disappointment

I would like to express my disappointment about Aspyr’s cheap UB rip off! Those guys want $29.99 for the Call Of Duty Deluxe Edition UB, but they haven’t fixed shit! Excuse my language but I would have expected them to fix all the issues along the way. I mean the game crashed back then when I bought it for $60 and that was years ago, and guess what it still crashes now! The only thing that has improved is the game performance. Well I don’t know if thats worth 30 bugs, it took them like what 3 years to make a UB version?

I remember when I initially bought the game for an outrageous price of $60, I was not even able to enjoy it, because of all the errors and crashes. Apsyr’s cheap excuse was, it was not their fault, no poor aspyr ported the game like that. Ain’t that funny, because I played the PC version of COD & COD UO with Crossover I didn’t get any error messages or crashes. I only get this weird error message when I play Aspyr’s Mac port : “Error: Max number of disconnected paths exceeded”. As well COD UO crashes at the end of the game, so you cannot really finish the last mission. I expect more for the money I paid, I expect working games, because that’s what we all pay for. I just can’t believe that Aspyr would have the audacity to do something like that, to release an update of an older title without any major fixes. Alright the game performance is better now, but to hell with that, because what am I supposed to with better game performance when I have to skip missions due to errors like ” Max number of disconnected paths exceeded”. Or I cannot even finish a mission because of a reoccurring crash over and over agin!

They claim to be the leading entertainment publisher that creates, packages and delivers fun to millions around the world. I disagree with that completely, or maybe its a joke that I don’t understand.

Now at first I thought it was maybe the crack, but then I asked my friend who bought the game twice, the first dvd release, and now for $30 the UB update. Guess what, he still experiencing the same bugs and crashes, that he was experiencing before. Just like me..Thanks Aspyr well done guys..I guess you don’t give *** about your reputation!

Thanks god I didn’t buy the game, I was so close to do, but then I thought to myself why pay twice for a game that I already own.

Now with all due respect, Aspyr is getting paid for publishing games for macintosh by the game developers and we are talking about a lot of money here, if that wasn’t true, these guys would have been out of business by now! See there a people out there, who don’t get a dime for porting a game, and you know what? They deliver better ports than Aspyr or Virtual Programming together. My respect and appreciation goes out to each and every one of the game porting team members. In addition, the only game publisher/developer I cannot complain about is Feral Interactive, they have been extremely professional and offer a friendly service as well as high quality products!
