Blame Activision for rushing to make sure that a CoD is released each November.

Blame Activision for the absurd overpricing of the map packs and their one month exclusivity on 360.

Blame IW for poor design choices. They made the game, not Activision.

"Its Activision's fault, seriously Act should of said "Hey, OMA seems kinda spamish" or something."

Completely false. A publisher would never step in and change the multiplayer balancing of an extremely hyped/popular game that is the sequel to one of the best selling games of all time. That is certainly not a part of their job and those are some extraordinary circumstances. I doubt they would ever really step in and get involved in a game's development other than setting time tables and negotiating betas and such regardless of the game's status.
