Look Modern Warfare 2 is making and will make MANY gamers happy 2morrow. This game could set records in the entertainment industry. How can u call urself a gamer and be against this?

If u don't like Modern Warfare 2 because it's not ur type of game or it doesn't fit ur playstyle then thats just fine. But as a gamer, u should be happy that a videogame has the chance of selling more than any book, movie, or CD in history. This game will elevate the gaming industry to new heights.

According to some of my friends who already have the game its the MOST ADDICTIVE AND ENTERTAINING videogame they've ever played. Somehow I don't thk their full of crap. So what if it doesn't do anythg much new, its ENTERTAINING and people will spend more time on it than ANY other game this year and most likely this generation until the next one comes out.

Some of you just aren't getting it. It will be a great game. But that's not the problem. Problem is that they feel they can raise the price. The after effects of that could be price hikes for all games.

Get it? We as a community should hope it fails.

@Dead

You don't seem to understand. IW with this game, are going to be setting an example for the rest of the industry.

Want to know what it is?

That it's easier to bend gamers over and take em down town, feed them whatever crap they're able to crank out within a year a call it a game. And everyone will praise it, no matter what.

That and the fact that they're saying FU to so many people.

1.9 - well the supposed price hike doesnt affect most people who are smart...
I got my pre-order for 49.99 canadian! bestbuy , future shop , walmart have all had deals on this game ( as well as with most new games like borderlands, batman, AC2, etc..) so i find that this winter is amazing! ive been able to buy all my games new for 10 to 20 $ cheaper than last year!

I do believe this is the highest number of preorders a game has ever had. Beating out any GTA game, any Halo game, etc.

Boggles the mind how people who don't care for the game or series finds time to comment more on the game or series than the actual games(if any) they claim to play.

4.3 - that's the direction the industry is moving towards...
why should IW bother to push the visuals and gameplay to a new level if all it takes to sell bazillions are new skins,weapons and perks and more importantly, twice the marketing? Majority of gamers have proven time and time again that they are dumb sheeps, and when the price of game increases in the not-so-distant future those same fools will be complaining.

Anyway, this are VG estimates, just saying :/
The last time, they claimed odst broke 2million day one worldwide, now we know that is BS, it has sold 1.8m to date.

mw2 is ,sadly, still going to sell a LOT and i wonder once again, what have IW and Activision done to deserve those sales? Had all those people watched the latest BFBC2 vid or experienced the epic scale of MAG, those numbers would have been halved easily :/

If people want it, whatever. I'm skipping it for Bad Company 2 and Mag. MW2 is all hype with nothing to back it up, imo.

I may have to try it out first, but I wasn't too impressed by the first(COD4) and this seems just like more of the same from what I have seen.

It's just my opinion, but from what I've seen I haven't seen anything that is worthy of the hype. You don't have to get so defensive about a game you are interested in.

It's a "war simulator" for the masses. Apparently folks be loving real life war and terrorism! It is pretty evident in the actual REAL world as well. And for those too chicken sh*t for that...we have MW2! Have fun pussi*s. I ain't giving this lamechise a dime!
