So That Smear Campaign's Still Running Strong Then.

" We don't know how the story gathered steam, but we'd just like to reassure everyone that it's not going to happen. While Activision reserve the right to pull the servers on any multiplayer game, Call Of Duty: Black Ops is still a relatively new release, and the backlash would be enormous. The move would damage the brand enormously.

Some forum posters are convinced this means Call Of Duty's going to be an XBOX 360 exclusive henceforth [muppets! - Ed], but we'd just like to remind everyone how much Activision likes money. As if they're going to sacrifice 5 million or so sales for the sake of a few server hiccups.

And that's what these issues are: server hiccups. Activision server hiccups to be precise. The company can whine and moan all they like about Sony and the PSN, the fact is they are responsible for all the glitching and errors. If this really was a PSN related issue, we'd have heard about it long ago from other publishers.
