Hmmm! Don't see no Windows 8 on that list do you?

Like I said, I'm sure the devs, you, me, and I guess 99% of the community would like COD to run on Windows 8 - not that I'm in the market for a new OS just yet, but people stamping their feet and shouting I want, I want or I pack my bags and you'll never see my money again does seem a bit purile.

you have to get with the plan,but i am sure luthier and his team will eventually have to roll out a win8 patch for the game because of BOM.

again its not MS's call, its a dev issue with the game code.
your argument is flawed, hell even B17 the mighty eigth works on win8.
il2 forgotten battles works on win8, doom1/2/3 works on win8
microsoft combat flight simulator 1 even works on win 8,
"big call" i dont think so, more like an expected dev priority and if luthiers team cant be arsed then shame on them

Sorry to here you've had a bad experience with COD, I've had a lot smoother run.

If you've read the last page or so of the thread you'll notice some evidence that the problem stems from Microsofts implementation of Visual C++. I'ld hope that a major software company like Microsoft would be particular about things being backwardly compatable, wouldn't you?

Hopefully there's an easy fix for this. For the long term good of the series I hope that it gets sorted really soon.

See you online sometime!

Cheers!
