I was really excited about this game. I was really looking forward to playing it. I have freinds who are excited about this game. That is why I am so upset about this pre-order bull-****. I don't pre-order games, and I am not going to start now. Instead I am not going to purchase this game anymore. Thanks a lot for nothing. There are many other good games coming out this year that I can play online without being penalized because I didn't pre-order.
I registered on this forum just so that I could let people know. This is unacceptable. I didn't buy Battlefield: Bad Company for this reason, and now I am not going to buy Alpha Protocol either. At least in CoD:WaW I was eventually able to get all the guns in the game.
And, don't tell me that "it doesn't matter". Other guns are "just as good".
I personally use every gun in a game and eventually decide what I want to use most. Often, it is NOT the most popular gun, or even the most powerful. Some guns just fit me better then others. Sometimes, I just want to do something different. Knowing that my options are artificially and unnescessarily limited DOES make the game LESS FUN!
