Suspicious. If you have a great product, why not flaunt it?

I've pre-ordered when it was on special, but feel uneasy with Activision ever since they started the new pc price standard with MW2. Their CEO has a large cranial ego that relies on distant past COD success/followers to ellicite demand and control price. Seems to me, after all the flak about MW2s multiplayer, that the best way to instill confidence with COD vets and newcomers is to have a beta?!

With BC2, and recently MOH, the betas made the pre-order decision easy. Hope my 'bad attitude' is proved unnecessary with black ops, time will tell....

That's too bad, beta versions made my mind up on several games as well.  I agree with you Cap almost seems arrogant
