Has anyone like me already made full preparations for a Modern Warfare 2-intensive day and already called in sick for next tuesday and cut off all ties with siblings?

paul03885312d ago

I'm sure MW2 is good, no, spectacular! It's multiplayer will be the real award winner, but when it comes to GOTY, single player usually wins out, and I'm afraid MW2 is no Uncharted 2 in that category.

Those 2 games represent the very best the industry has to offer.

Best multiplayer (ever) award goes to: Modern Warfare 2

But in the end, GOTY goes to: Uncharted 2

Its like a week away from release, aren't Activision confident about this game or something? The embargo must be up soon, but so is the games release date, guess they have no belief in the game then haha

Can't wait for the game though lol

Well we already know its AAA, still I also just want to read on HOW awesome it is.

Cant wait for this and AC2.

LordMarius5312d ago

expect this review to be taken down momentarily

Sitris5312d ago

Yeah, i have had mine preordered for many months so i am certain it will be good haha i only preordered games i know will be good, CoDMW2 is definately one of those titles, still would like more facts via reviews on how good the story is. I personal thought the firsts story was one of the stronger features :)

theEnemy5312d ago

I'm still wondering where are the reviews..

IGN? Gamespot? Eurogamer? 1UP? OPM? OXM ?

mugoldeneagle035312d ago

Most of the Dragon Age reviews didn't drop until yesterday (3rd) on the games release, I'm sure we'll see most MW2 reviews by the bigger sites sometime later this week. My guess would be Thursday/Friday before the weekend.

Beast_Master5312d ago (Edited 5312d ago )

Where are the reviews? The publisher has specified an embargo of when the reviews can be released. The first offical review will be posted by the highest bidder. Activision always withholds the review scores Prototype, UA2, Gutar Hero 5, and Wolverine,

Activision will buy the reviewers

Sitris5312d ago

Opinions are like A**holes, everyone has one and they're full of S**T

I for one think it will be great :)

LordMarius5312d ago

I expect IGNorant to give it a 9.5+ and call it the best thing ever since slice bread, the bots will laugh it up and call KZ2 and U2 a flop, even though we have the option to play it as well.

Sitris5312d ago

Me and the 10s of millions of gamers that get it and enjoy it will totally regret our desisions of getting if Activision payed a website to review the game lol
Your trying to convince me the game will be bad is your choice, but i don't see any hard facts. I see the engine graphically is the same, but there is alot more going on in the game, the co-op adition sounds great, so show definative proof of the game being 'Bad'.

LordMarius5312d ago

Oh Im buying the game as well because I didnt bought Modern Warfare so it wont be more of the same for me, but I at least hope the reviews are accurate and are not driven by hype or $$$$

Sitris5312d ago

No disrespect guys, opinions are everyones choices, if you don't like it don't get it. MW2 looks great, as i loved the first. It reminds me alot of Halo, the first was great, the second made a few changes and 3 did almost nothing different. But we all know how the game sales and people playing it turned out :) I would imagine MW3 (or whatever it turns out to be) will probably be the same problem as Halo 3, more of the same, but still good haha

This is what this game is for me

lindquist5312d ago

I has a tits and even this gams cannot play with em.

LOL THINK ABOUT THAT!
If you buy this game then all of a sudden the tiny parrot will sing its last song before swimming into the endless sea of its. How many of it can you has? I say perhaps 10 millions will buy it. But even lol that you know the parrot in here!!!! LOL.

JeffGUNZ5312d ago (Edited 5312d ago )

Enough. Jesus, I am so tired of PS3 fanboys. This game is multi-plat, what makes you think ONLY 360 fans will enjoy this game? I know tons of PS3 users just as pumped for this game. You look incredibly insecure to say you never bought the first one and experienced it like others who have, but you believe that this reviewer is full of lies and other reviewers will lie or be influenced to lie. It looks like you're paranoid and scared that this game is going to be outstanding and take the limelight from any other games out or about to be released. I only see PS3 fanboys on this site bashing this game. Jesus Christ; grow up and enjoy the game. This game is going to be epic, don't go into it with fanboy goggles on.

I find it Kind of strange in the last paragraph that the reviewer says "The closest to perfection a FPS can get". If thats the case than wouldn't it get a perfect 10? If an FPS can never achieve "perfection" then why is there even a 10 on the scale?

ReservoirDog3165312d ago

Well, he does say it isn't really much of a leap from CoD4. So maybe that's why.

theEnemy5312d ago

he did say "closest to perfection" not "perfect".

Hence, the 9/10.

bnaked5312d ago

MW2 needs the mojo! For a 10, you must create a unique game, which defines the genre.. Like Half Life 2..

TooTall195312d ago

It is supposed to be like the original, but improves the formula. If they wanted something that's a whole new experience IW would have made a new IP.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G285d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade284d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality284d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator283d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G284d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85285d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G284d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo285d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg284d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast284d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
