What controls COD shipping date for U.S.

There is still a considerable amount of work required to finish COD, and most of it won't be finished for the Western release, but it should draw far less negative publicity. There will be another patch around the middle of June and probably atleast one more after that before the release in the West.

Even with the many unfinished and missing features COD still has alot of entertainment value and will only get better for years to come as features are added by the developers and modders.

TBH they will need to produce a super patch before US release if they want to not get netagive publicity because the game although some of its features are good, is only 50% working bare bones content. I find it real sad this happened
