Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders hit 2.4 million in America

Brett Walton "Modern Warfare 2 preorders close in on 2.4 million across Xbox360 and PS3 with another week to go, final preorders should hit 2.6 million with a week one of 3.5-4 million in the Americas, and another 2-2.5m in Europe and other regions. With such a high average retail price, week one revenue predictions of over $500m and the title becoming the biggest entertainment launch of all-time seem likely to become true"

Each 2 there own, im only interested in Assassins Creed 2 and Dragon Age (Ps3 no doubt)

[pangitkqb]

much less pre-ordering it. Don't get me wrong, the COD series has been a blast, but having played every iteration thus far this generation (COD 3, COD 4, and COD WAW) I've just plain played this series to death. Additionally, the increased price many players throughout the world are facing to play this game, coupled with the lack of dedicated servers for PC gamers, makes me think Infinity Ward is taking just a few too many liberties this time around.

As an alternative I'm playing Uncharted 2, Borderlands (on 360) and Dragon Age: Origins on PC.

I know I'm probably alone in this, but I just don't give a crap about Modern Warfare 2. The first game had a good campaign and the multiplayer was good, but it's not the best game ever. At the end of the day, it's your standard FPS. People call Halo and KZ2 generic FPS, but you can't get any more generic than MW2.

I'll probably still give it a go, but I really wouldn't care if I never played the game.

[Serjikal_Strike]

haha....im on the list of pre-orders....lookin foward to this game 4 sure

[Beast_Master]

I am up to my elbows in games to play through right now and this game will probably cost me my girlfriend.. oh well women are like buses..there is always another one coming.

[The Killer]

women are liked buses in the west, not with muslims, muslim women are likes diamonds and the only way to get them is through marriage.

the funny thing is western women keep saying that muslim women are oppressed but never bothered to ask the muslim women them selfs if they think they are oppressed or not and also they dont say how the western women is being used as u said Buses, there is always another bus to come by, or like toilets when ever a man wants to use it go to toilet and do his think and when he finishes he leaves, then another man comes and do the same, similar to what happens to women in the west.

any way if the women are happy then let them do what ever they want.

on topic.

MW2 will be a good game not doubts but i will never buy it LOL, torrents deserve MW2 more than the greedy Activision.

[Beast_Master]

Do you live in the US? Because most muslim men that live in the US are whores. These men grow up in an oppressed society and come to the united states and "DISCO DISCO" and live only to get as much "Sticky" as they can. Muslim men (US) are about as loyal to women as children are to broccoli. Watch "Don't mess with the Zohan" I know the character is Jewish but that dude is all of you Middle Eastern/Eastern European Men.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

....

[The Killer]

u have some good point, and thats why muslims are going backwards, but still when it comes to women we have more respect.

but what men do and thats the not religious men is not like what women do.

the punishment in islam for a husband who cheats on his wife is death by stoning, so its very serious crime but unfortunately man muslim world is in a coma now, but never forget that we were leading the world in science before some centuries when the European were in mid evil time. so its a cycle, but my point is islam gives women so much respect, if men dont respect their women then thats the mans fault. and dont be surprised if the men in US likes to DISCO DISCO since its an american culture, the west is leading the world now with technology and its no surprise people around the world would copy you.

there is good and bad with the western cultures, and there is good and bad with muslim culture but islam is ONLY good. it came as a mercy from God to humanity and what muslims do these days is not what islam teaches them.

I will admit, Amazon's $20 credit caught me. 1/3 off a game in the future is a pretty big incentive to me to preorder. I only preorder from Amazon though.

[Bnet343]

Not surprised by the preorders, I preordered mine last week on Amazon. The game will be huge. Can't wait for MW2 next Tuesday. The online is so action packed with the new modes, it's will be insane. See you peeps online! :)

[FrankWest]

MAG has very high preorders for a new game with so many weeks to go

[NegativeCreepWA]

Because you get a beta code with a reservation at gamestop.

[raztad]

@Scar

It makes sense, however the upside is that those preorders still stand (not canceled) so most probably beta players are happy with the game.

[Homicide]

Zipper probably has a solid fanbase as well.

[divideby0]

why would anyone want to preorder this game.

didnt get anything of value for the preorder AND there will be tons of copies AND I am waiting to see who has the sale..

[Gish]

Amazon has a $20 credit for future game purchases. GOW collection would only be $15 after that.

[LoLZoRz]

daaayum thats a lot of people to play online

[swiftshot93]

MAG?

[Madis007]

MAG: Massive Action Game PS3 78,342 12 weeks

When Modern Warfare 2 had 12 weeks then this got 60 000 only

[Apocwhen]

MW2 Pre-order did not come with a Beta Key

[raztad]

@Apo

See my above post.

[7zark7]

So Much for boycotting then.

[Elvfam511]

you going to see a article on how much this game is going to be pirated by the pc community

[Alcon Caper]

Preordered last week. Midnight launch. Dressing up in camo. Wearing my army boots. Shaving head. Bringing plastic rifle.

"READY TO RECEIVE MODERN WARFARE 2, SIR!"

[PimplePopperMD]

I cancelled my pre order. PS3 version.

[dtrain21]

I was debating on which console game I should get for MW2 but Got Damn ! Looks like 360. Thinking of gettin the MW2 250G Xbox for the living room.

woa, that's a lot. especially since it's just the US.
not record breaking (yet), but a lot! getting my copy soon. hopefully a bit earlier than the official release day :)

[Killzonegamer84]

Sure, be a sheep and get it for the "360" news flash. Vgchartz is Wrong! Mw2 is not that far behind on ps3 in pre orders

[iistuii]

Can't wait. Just finished U2 and over half way through Forza 3 and now in a weeks time i'll be on MW2 which is i hope gonna be taking up my time online for the next year.

[ThisPlaceSucksBye]

I guess the 360 fans don't really mind being taken for fools by Activision as much as Ps3 fans.
