OXCGN hears that another retailer may be releasing a game early, this time MW2:
"It seems that over at the Australian Xbox.com forums there has been some speculation that Activision's Modern Warfare 2 could be on the shelves as early as this end of the week according to some forumites.
It seems that Big W has spoken to a few of their customers in store notifying them that they can stroll into the store as early as today (Thursday 5 November) and pick up their copy."
Here is a look at the first two maps of Season 6 for Multiplayer.
La Casa involves intense action in a Vill and Koro Village is a battle in the streets where enemies lurk at all angles and shadows.
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.
Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.
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!!!!!
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
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
I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.
Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.
The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.
Nice try though pal.
Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards
why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL
Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.
Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.
Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.
TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day
No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ 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 !
It seems pretty normal these days for this to happen, so I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true.
Mind you it's early Thurs here in Oz and I've not seen any proof anyone has got it yet.
Many gamers forget that when this happens, the smaller retailers, who often try and do much better deals and supply better service than the likes of K-Mart and Big W and Harvey Norman etc, suffer a great deal.
They loose pre-orders, are left with stock they can not sell, as ppl have dumped their pre-orders and rushed to a local BW to nab a copy early . .
And they wonder WHY small retailers have larger price tags . .If you were running a business and saw this, you'd feel like sticking your head in an oven - seriously.
apparantly BIG W were quick to see the problem and are not selling it I believe, that being said im patient so I dont mind.
At who ever tagged the story as lame!
It seems that a few aussies have had the game as early as the end of last week while there are a few stating they have already picked up the game this morning but won't play nor post photos which further ensures speculation as to whether they do have it..
As Godem stated Big W seems to have notified it's stores in sending an email out to NOT sell MW2 today..
Either way come closer to release someone is bound to break and it seems some stores already have their shipment in..
Will be an edgy couple of days leading up to it's release.. Will keep everyone posted if MW2 does indeed have its street date broken!
ahh good, Seems that B W were going to release the game today (our thursday) - but have had severe discussions with "the powers to be" and have been told point blank that if they do, they face huge fines and it will not be tollerated ..
I'm glad someones got the gonnads to stand up to major retailers. I hate broken release dates with a passion. Unless you've been in small retail, you just do not know the impact these things have on small stores. ANd by small, I mean even mid range retailers like most games stores are when compared to the likes of major chains.
