A Few Reasons NOT to Buy Modern Warfare 2

Negative Gamer's Sam "verygoodyear" writes;

"The majority of gaming blogs over the next few weeks will be publishing hundreds of articles about all the intricate plot details and immersive gameplay, but in the spirit of Negative Gamer I'd like to suggest a few reasons why you should save your money invest your time into something more wholesome. Railroad Tycoon perhaps? No? OK, well here's my list anyway."

[zdudynot]

article = hits material

[wardrox]

"lots of people will read this" is hardly a bad thing. And the article has a fair amount of research. Also, as you know, commenting bumps up an article's temp on N4G, so if you don;t want people to read, don't comment :D

So, clearly you agree this article should be getting many readers.

[RAZORLAND]

The guy cant even sell ad space on his site.

[jammy_70]

rip off!!

i no its not that im joking.......

[ThanatosDMC]

My brother's willing to pay $150 for the game. This is ridiculous.

[Raf1k1]

Asda will have it for about £27 on release.
I've said that a few times now lol.

[CaptainKratos]

for 45 bucks. HA!!!!

[CaptainKratos]

i am, when it comes out im getting it, but for 45 bucks from some guy who has 2.pretty cool deal.

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

so you turn into a girl when cold water hits you .............................i nteresting

[benighted death]

people are free to buy the game if they want to!

[wizzle52]

Confirmed in the papers for both 360/ps3

[edgeofblade]

Oh no! Someone priced an in-demand item at a price higher than a less in-demand item. Oh, the heresy... we must inform the hippy commune's elders.

People... if you don't like it, don't buy it. It is ALWAYS as simple as that.

[Xgamerzus]

Ill give you some reasons!!MF's
number one :it belongs on PC!!
number two :it's dumbed down(low def) on consoles with limited EDram.
Number three: short story???
Number 4 : online multiplayer is for losers with no life..
Number 5:SAME OLD REYCYLED ENGINE!!!

[Pandamobile]

I sure won't be buying this overpriced piece of sh1t.

[Gothdom]

Sadly, there are too many morons out there that will buy this game. It'll sell millions of copies, and then you'll start seeing more games that starts to sell at the same price, maybe more.

[OpenGL]

Where were you guys when Left 4 Dead 2 or Halo 3: ODST were announced as full price retail games? Yeah, it's pretty bad that they increased the price of the PC version, but I think the game costing £55 in the UK is even worse. We are an unfortunate vocal minority, and this game will likely sell over 13 million copies between the 360 and PS3 alone.

Still, I'm with you guys and will not be buying this game for any of the 3 platforms I can play it on. It's still not even 720p on the PS3 or Xbox 360, and the PC version has been butchered. With that said, the campaign is looking pretty good from what I've seen, and I'm sure a ton of people will love the multi-player. I understand why CoD fans on the 360 and PS3 are excited for this title.

[pippoppow]

There is no licensing fee associated with PC gaming so why the same cost as the console versions? Console games are at least $10 more due to the licensing fees payed. PC version also has it's ususal pluses taken out on top of that. Don't see this selling well on PC. Then again I'm sure it'll make more than enough on the consoles. Don't blame PC gamers for not supporting this game. There is no justifiable reason the game should cost $60. Unbelievable greed is disgusting.

[JeffGUNZ]

In America, the price didn't raise. Also, who are you to call a "moron" to anyone that spends THEIR OWN hard earned money on what they want? Grow up.

[Gothdom]

you have to be moronic to want a piece of crap. I mean, who plays 9 vs 9 on PC? Why should american gamers not support fellow UK gamers? Why should I get something rehashed with almost the same graphics as before? Why should people settle with a game that has no mods nor dedicated survers?

It's not my fault if people like to pay more for less.

I wish alot of people download the game via torrents.

[CaptainKratos]

its COD HELLO!!! if you like FPS your going to like this game.im pretty sure if you got it as a gift you would play the hell out of it.its a good game and gamers love good games!!! no matter what!!!!Viva la GAmerlucion

-GAMERS WILL RULE THE EARTH!!!lol.

[benighted death]

hey Gothdom,its funny that you call people morons because just buy saying that,you just proved you are a real moron! funny isn't?

[mastiffchild]

Whoa there CaptainKraos! IF you were all about the gamers and any kind of revolution you NOT be buying this game under current circumstances but would stand beside your PC and EU brothers trying to stop further erosion of things we've come to expect in gaming wouldn't you?

Gamers rights will take a big nose dive as the unstaoppable success of MW2 and the horror tactics of it's dev and publisher come to fruition. Whether it's a great game is irrelevant and, yes, gamers love a good game but is it really worth the prices of games in future going through the roof? Features being cut all round on PC and console? Gamers being routibely treated like we're dim, easily led chattles of arrogant devs like IW who believe their own press far too much? Is it fine that they revealed a video appealing to the lowest common denomenator in their fanbase by parodying F.A.G.S? Id that part of your revolution for gamers?

See, it doesn't sound like any kind of revolution and all gamers will inherit, if we continue supporting crappy people like this, is a gaming world where things go backwards(like the killing off of dedicated servers)rather than forwards if it profits our "masters" at the likes of Activision. We'e being used and abused, imo, and I, at least, won't be party to that.

I find it incredible that so few of our number are upset by the arrogance of Kotick and Co-sadly he appears to know gamers better than I do. His bare faced comments dripping with greed should have got more people worried(and the double standards shown over the price of PS3 when his company routinely rip us in the EU off with the price of peripherals fo the Hero games)and when the unilateral EU hike was announced it should have become a deafening chorus of dissent in his direction but too many of us are too eager to buy MW2. Why? It won't go anywhere amd we could have made a stand to show them we gamers are a REAL community and not the fractured mess they take us for and easily conquer with their divide and rule tactic of playing console gamer off against PC gamer.

It's true, I've seen numerous console only gamers saying things like "PC amers deserve this" and "serves them right for pirating" and swallowing Acti/IW's bait wholesale. The erosion of PC gamers rights is about them making their own mods and doing their own thing with MW2-and IW not making anything from, it. NOT about a better service or matchmaking or any of their other lies and certaily not abut piracy as what they did will lead to more of that and not less!

So, yeah, while I agree the lure of laying a new MW wth your mates is very strong and a great many people will get huge amounts of pleasure from it I still think there was room for us to stick topgether over this one. Revolutions ONLY start when the majority of a community realise their similaities are greater than their differences. Only occur when people get together, stand firm and show they aren't a divided mess easy to be cajoled by the big corporations. They occur when we show some unity and, in this case, a little restraint. If a lot of us had stood up over the ills committed by IW and Acti here they'd have already sorted it al out and we would be looking forward to all playing this together with no rservations or pangs of guilt.

As it stands I won't be buing any ctivision or IW products until they change their terrivle attitude. That's my choice. I don't want to feel I did nothing when all the signs were there that we were being taken for a massive ride in the name of even greater profits(and the EU hike is the worst part of that-we already pay way over the odds and the recession is still taking jobs over here. It's a little sick in my eyes, ubh. Fact is, some say, that we aren't even paying the extra as the retailers(like Tesco at £32) are taking the hit for us. All that means is THEY pay Acti the extra and doesn't stop the hike looking like a success as they still get all the cash as if we DID pay £60!you think that will stop a worldwide "premium" price next time? Come on, it's a fait accompli and Acti played it SO well).

Look, I'm not perfect and I'm not without sin so won't throw any stones. If you are happy to buy the game and damn the conseguences then I'm noone to say you're in any way wrong or not entitled to do what you want with your money. All I'm saying is I wish more people would thinkmabout it before they do that to make sure they know what the score is-you may just think I'm wrong or may not care either way but, please, think about what you might be helping to make happen. It isn't pretty and makes any talk of gaming revolutions or even a real community a bit of a sick joke. Yes, they have a product most of us want(I do myself-I won't lie)but is that ALWAYS the most important concern? Do we take immediate gratification over the long term welfare of all gamers on all platforms?

Anyway, if you read thanks for the trouble and sorry if I bored you. Best wishes, also, to anyone buying the game-I might be totally wrong after all-as I don't harbour any ill will over this one at all-I just think we're being badly bent over and happily ask for more and in some cases we even defend these guys while berating those who they mistreat. So, whichever camp you're in mjust try to remember we'e all in at least one together and hopefully one day that will seem most important to us all. Maybe then the undustry won't take us so comically for granted like IW have by believing they're the second coming.

[JeffGUNZ]

You're missing the point. Just because you don't see the value in something, doesn't mean that 15 million other people don't. Just because you decided you don't like this game, doesn't mean that anyone who purchases it is automatically a moron. You have a lot of growing up to do.

[CaptainKratos]

@ mastiffchild you wanna come over and play or not? just ask mastiffchild just ask.

[Gothdom]

Funny how you people tell me I need to grow up when I'm one of the few who's got the balls to say no when some company wants to stick his Kotick up my ass.

Believe what you want, the game's fun, but has been torn appart by regression. Like Mastiff said, that was one great occasion to stick together and say no, but most people prefer to close their eyes and endure the sore anus, with a smile nonetheless. If you want to play the game this bad, torrent it.

The free pass the reviewers give this game is another point I'd tackle, but it seems like I don't have any right to express my anger towards the gaming community.

This game will be forgotten in a couple of years, when people will play a 2vs2 game with the same graphics called MW3, costing 99,99$ in the US, no dedicated servers and a 40$ DLC containing one map and one gun, which will be available on release date. Maybe with a fee to play online too.

That, my friends, is the future of gaming you've just assured yourselves.

[rawrockkillz]

Not buying!!! Hello L4D2!

[dirthurts]

second that notion.

[skagrerrrr]

Bad Company 2 instead

[silvacrest]

i dont like either that much but i'd gladly get LFD2 then MW2

[rawrockkillz]

Oh i'll get BC2...but that comes out in March.

[Gandysampras]

The only way I'll be buying it is if I can get it for £26 as rumoured at Sainsbury's.

[komp]

I will give it a week before the real hate starts. Once folks realise what has just happened to their money.

Too bad. Activision has their money, plus they are willing to accept more crap yet to come.

[Nelson M]

1 It's Been Gimped by The Xbox 3Shitsty

2 You've got Killzone 2 in your Collection of Great PS3 Exclusives !

[MetalGearRising]

Game-Pad: Brink Eurogamer Impressions

Straight away the games visuals blew me away. This is a shooter which genuinely looks close to Killzone 2 in its graphical standards (for reference Paul was playing the 360 version). Not only that but the sound work was absolutely phenomenal.

KillZone 2 got OWNED.

Any way only ps3 and pc fan boys have a problem with Modern Warfare 2 even though xbox360 will do the majority of sales so thinking about it pc and ps3 are irrelevant non existence when it comes to Modern Warfare 2 there not even gamers just sore losers.

[karan8624]

Shutup, your a xbot and everybody knows it any nobody likes you

[DonCorneo]

where are the multiplatform games that look better than mgs4?

[kissmeimgreek]

GTFO MGSR. all you do is finally give ps3fans (im to mature to say droid or bot) a reason to believe that we are all actually 12 years old WHICH WE'RE NOT

[piramides30]

Reasons not to by MW2:

1º Very short campaign.
2º Graphics are almost the same.
3º More expensive than other games.
4º Bobby kotick.
5º Another COD.
6º Online is more of the same.

[karan8624]

On everything except the graphics. The graphics are greatly updated

[Ravage27]

that i didn't sell off my copy of COD4 a year ago just to pick up another MW game that is 99% more-of-the-same.

Unlike most people, i don't find mw gameplay all that great and fun, killstreak is a horrible and cheap way of adding 'depth'. Customization was the best thing the series has over its competitors, but that was years ago, now every FPS has adopted that formula.

I have not played the PS3 version, but i watched my buddy beat the campaign 2 nights ago(really short game)on PC. He has a pretty good rig and was playing it near max settings, let's not kid ourselves, the graphics DIDN'T improve much. They made things look a bit sharper than the 1st, but that's it. AI is still annoying, and you still get the feeling that your squadmates are useless since all the enemies will focus their attention on you. Grenades-spamming, enemies appearing from nowhere,level environment interaction remains unchanged(those civilians scenes add nothing to the gameplay), i still firmly believe that this is mw1.5

[ProperFunked]

no actually they're not, its not even HD (600p i think) even tho the box says (720p,1080i,1080p) and the game is basically the exact same as 4, just minor updates to the perk system and gun models, thats is oh and killstreaks. the single campaign ends the same.......go figure

[cliffbo]

this is ridiculous. i've just put a new article about Modnation racer up and a rumour about FF and this gets approved over them? just what is going on on this site?

[Pandamobile]

The COD trend.

http://filesmelt.com/downlo...

[bjornbear]

Somehow that chart fits me perfectly.

My fav. COD is COD2 and to me COD will always be about WWII and / or at least battlefied warfare, not squad based shooting.

- I don't need any reasons, I just ain't that in to it really =( does that make me a bad gamer?! Really? Oh well I'll just go back to playing Oblivion...

[crazy25000]

I bought the first one to support them then they got c0cky.

[Godmars290]

Don't want to.

[Major Kanimo]

fuk u guys im getting my gaming in before battle field 2!!! so L4D2 and MW2 here i come!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaptainKratos]

i hear ya!!! except for the L4D2. i dont own a 360.lol.good game i hear.

[mastiffchild]

Hell, it's your choice dude but why be rude to those who stand up, not only for theirs,, but also your rights as a gamer?

Disagree, fair enough, but are you really so far up IW's butt that you prefer them to your fellow gamer? If so that's real sad. We would ALL have been [playing this together with all the wrongs righted and with no guilt if we'd all stood up to Kotick and Co over this-that's the shame of it all.

[table]

hey, don't bash the legendry railroad tycoon. I'd play that over call of duty any day.

[lowcarb]

Who wants to bet this game wins GOTY? I'm sure if it were to be released next year there wouldn't be any hate towards it at all.

Edit below: It's only a problem when a comment is made against the PS3 and you know it. Quit being sore over nonsense and just don't buy the game.

[Elvfam511]

and had all the stupid sh!t Activision and Iw have done it still be same

edit
" It's only a problem when a comment is made against the PS3 and you know it. Quit being sore over nonsense and just don't buy the game."

Huh? what are you talking about

[VenomCarnage89]

it will win a few goty awards, and at least i will know that the sites to give it that award are sites to steer clear of, because they are either overly biased to generic fps games, or completely let hype warp their minds in which who would want to read anything from said site after that in the first place.

i also am willing to bet, at least 1 or 2 sites(albiet small random sites) will give halo odst goty.

[lowcarb]

So the sites you talk of are only important when it comes to rating ps3 games highly lol.

[nolifeking]

What the hell did the PS3 have to do with anything he said? Sounds like a mad case of ASSUMING. Somebody sounds like a butthurt fanny.

[lowcarb]

You know exactly what I'm talking about so don't play STUPID. You sir need to learn how to read between the lines.

[mastiffchild]

GOTY awards ARE the nonsense Lowcarb and you know it. The fact is that a signifigant, if small compared to those getting the game, sized minoyity of gamers smell more than just a rat here and IW/Acti are relying on people saying just what you have and fighting their bettles for them. Why does it bother you that people are upset with IW over their behaviour? We're not knocking the game or their talents are we?

Factis, for me, I'd have LOVED to be playing the game with you mate but I can't. I don't reward tosspots in real life and certainly wouldn't pay them for being such lowlifes. I fel it's shame that they were proved right when risking a lot on the gaming community being so very fractured and bitter towards each other when we SHOULD have stood up and told them we wouldn't take this crap from anyone-they exist because we buy the games and we're letting the bloody tail wag the dog because of petty rivalries and non differences.

No other group of consumers acts this way and that's why no other group gets treated quite as poorly as we gamers. Play the game. Ebjoy it-it's your choice and that's fair enough but don't think that it won't come back to bite us all on the arse cos, imo, it will and will keep doing so until we stand together and put an end to the blatant over profiteering at our own cost by greedy companies and over ego inflated devs. This time round they tool from the EU and PC gamer-next time it will be everywhere and all platforms. It's divide and rule and IDK why so few are prepared to see that and prepared to fight.

[VenomCarnage89]

lowcarb buti didnt give any lines to read between. i dont care if multiplats get scored high, nor do i can if 360 games get scored high, but both of the games i mentioned were rip offs(imo) that had very little done to them just because the devs knew they would sell millions of copies. a site who could know this and still rate MW2 very high is filed under one of the 2 catagories i listed above, if MW2 was a ps3 exclusive id say the same thing and you know what, if uncharted ever goes down this road id feel the same way towards it(i dont think naughty dog will ever treat a game like that but i guess anything is possible)

[piramides30]

Killzone 2 is one or two steps over MW2, but babies crying when the controls are not the same of COD4.
Only people who din't play Kz2 tell COD is better.

[Dread]

lol

listen son, I played KZ 2 and COD 4 is way better, and i would not be surprised if COD modern combat 2 is better as well.

the graphics in KZ2 were better not doubt, but that is it.

only blind playstation fanboys pick great graphics over great gameplay.

the only reasons people at n4g are hating on this game is because (1) it is not a playstation exclusive and (2) it could be GOTY.

get over it and enjoy

i'll be picking this up tomorrow

peace

[BX81]

I have to agree. Yes KZ2 was better graphically but in terms of game play and story line and different mission sets, I have to say MW was better. Not to mention the online In MW was better as well.

[Ninji]

1. It's just a rehash of COD4
2. Killzone 2 is already a better FPS
3. MAG comes out a couple of months later
4. Bad Company 2 comes out a couple of months after MAG
5. Assassin's Creed 2 comes out a week later

[BX81]

I've not played MW2 yet but I've played MAG. You can't even hold MAG over COD4 so I doubt it'll be better than MW2. Bad Co. 2 does look pretty sweet!

[keysy420]

i didnt rush out to get the first one probably not going to rush out and get this one.

[JonnyBigBoss]

How about reasons to get it? What other solid shooter is out that will be as competitive as MW2? How about how much content it has? Sorry, but I'm getting it Tuesday from Amazon.

[Captain Tuttle]

I'm really looking forward to it.

[Ricegum]

I'm getting it too, day one :) Am I missing something, the hate for this game is just ridiculous! I don't think I have looked forward to a game as much as I am with MW2...the videos are incredible, and I dont think charging a few extra quid should be a good reason not to buy it, if you're going to be tight with your money then there's always bargains to look out for.

[getonmylev3l]

I paid 5$ for this game. I got a $100 walmart card from being a good employee. So money ain't an issue here

[BWS1982]

yes, you have missed a great deal of something, Kotick shot his mouth off for 6 months and some people are speaking with their wallets. He didn't just slip and make a verbal error, he perpetually sinks to new lows with vile hatred towards gamers as a whole, and particularly towards Sony and their business needs, then has the donut holes to come up with an overpriced Tony Hawk interactive skateboard. I'll be getting the game later after a price drop or sale, I can wait and have more than enough of a backlog. I have great respect for the COD franchise, as I have EVERY one of their games on at least one platform.

I'm kinda puzzled why people keep asking about the "hate" towards this game...where were you the last year or so when Kotick and his greed were in every article?

[Ricegum]

Ah, seems like I did miss something then lol. But, at the end of the day, I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes regarding this game, and I don't really care, it will be a very good game, and I dont think the words of one individual should stop people from buying it.

[The BS Police]

Halo 3: ODST offers more content than MW2 ever will.

[MeatAbstract]

Main reason I won't be getting MW2 is the price. I can't justify paying that much for game that hasn't improved much from its predacessor.

I buy my games online, I don't like paying full retail for a game so I usually get them £10 cheaper. Even online, MW2 is £40 or over which is still a rip off in my opinion.

I know many will probably say "you haven't played it! How can you make a judgement on it if you haven't played it!?" which would be right to say but judging from the what is in the game, it still has the same short and boring SP with a few bigger explosions and the famous MP that have a few new game modes, weapons and perks.

Of course the game will sell millions. There are people out there that will pay this much for game, gamer or casual alike. MW2 appeals to a lot of gamers from the hardcore crew to the people that simply buy a console to play some fifa and FPS. But I still think many people that game as a hobby will pass on it because they'll understand its a completely unjustified price tag for some extras.

[BldyShdw]

Is why I have Gamefly, I don't have to worry about the price, I'll get it next week. I hope it's good and if not, off it goes to gamefly and my wallet didn't feel a thing...

On topic, I would NEVER buy this, I'll be buying GOW Collection :)

[llMurcielagoll]

Thus speaks the negative gamer...

[jonnyp777]

uh, it comes with CoD1 too you idiot. that's why i'm getting it. stop complaining. you won't be missed online.

[spvn]

70 bucks for artwork AND a 6 year old game (which you can pick up at amazon for 20 bucks ( http://www.amazon.com/Call-... What a worthy deal.

Still it's your money. If you wanna spend 70 bucks on artwork and a 6 year old PC game developed by a company that now decides to f**k PC gamers over, be my guest.

[Fade_Walker]

I can't play online and chances are the campaign will be less then 8 hours.

Plus I still have a backlog of games to finish like Batman: Arkham Asylum, Borderlands, Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout 3 DLC, Uncharted 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.

[rbluetank]

FYI if people want to hurt ACTivision. Just buy MW2 used at gamespot or ect... and fax/email all the used receipts to ACTivision. this show them that they have lost sales. a petition does not do it anymore..... i am sure this will work and this is what i am doing. i am buying this game for my cousin used... everybody wins except ACTivision.

[Torinir]

The problem is that someone has to buy it new first. Which still helps ATVI.

I don't feel MW2 is worth buying, period, especially the PC version. Why should I pay more money for fewer features than the competing games? (Even used, it's usually a percentage of the original price, which would still be more than comparable used games.)

If I wanted to play a console game, I'd get a console. I want to play a PC game. That means dedicated servers, performance tweaking, community made content, and the ability to choose who I play with at any time.

There's plenty of other games out there, and many are untouched by the corruption that is Activision.

[Highwayman]

I find it rather amusing of those on here who are so negative towards this game. Yet just before COD4 dropped everyone on here and their mother was excited as hell. Everyone talked of how great the gameplay was, everyone loved Price and other characters, there were tons of comparisons and many a flame war fought over which platform had the superior version and whatnot. Many a gamer spent long nights playing, then coming on here to relate said experiences.

And now all of this negativity. I just chuckle to myself.

I'm picking up my copy, it'll be a fun game, after all that's what a game should be, no? Of course this is an opinion, still COD4 and WaW provided me with a lot of fun with my friends. Why shouldn't this one?

[DiffusionE]

COD4 was 2 years ago. MW2 has nothing new except a few new maps and another 5 hour campaign. And for PC gamers, it has even less content than COD4 did. So tell me, Why the F**K should we pay more money for that?

[spvn]

Well I'd say that MW2 will definitely have updates over the previous version. But i agree, 10 bucks more for a PC game that has less features than the same game on a console. In fact, saying "less features" is an understatement...

[Highwayman]

I guess you folks lack the capability to read, if you had read what I wrote you would know that I say this is an opinion of mine.
Good to see all the disagrees, just goes to show me that "hating" MW2 is the new fad in gaming.
Two years? What is your point exactly? Two years is nothing, at least when you've been around for awhile two years is nothing.

DiffusionE as for your question. I believed I already answered that for you, but if you had read what I typed to begin with, you would have already known this, no?
Also I am not concerned for those who want this on their PC. I like PC gaming, but I don't care as this doesn't affect me. I'm getting mine for my 360. Why? That's where I do most of my online play.

Honestly though this response is pointless anyways, it's not as though you will actually read this one either.

[DiffusionE]

Got you there, didn't I? :P You'd be shocked at how many times I usually backtrack on my comments.

On Topic - You found the anti-MW2 attitude to be funny. It most definitely is NOT. Two years is a lot in the gaming industry. Even when COD5 came out, it was accused of having little to no improvements from COD4. Now COD6 is still stuck in that time-frame. Don't get me wrong, I loved COD4 as well. But to pay a full price for something that is barely worth a DLC price, that's plain stupid(remember ODST?). Just goes to see how overhype and a huge marketing budget can do.

BTW, my comments are solely my opinion, and whoever disagrees with me are either retarded or "lack the capability to read". See what I did there???

Edit - "I'm getting mine for my 360." AH! That explains everything.

[Digitaldude]

I agree with the article although it is written rather in a bias fashion.
Its over priced and more importantly more of the same. I cant justify spending 60bucks on a few improvements on online and a 5hour campaign.

[Samkavelitrey4life]

This article is pathetic, MW2 haters your not going to convince people not to buy this game. your fighting a losing battle, I cant wait to see you haters cry as I pick up my copy. have fun hating, I hope you all don't comment suicide as this game sell millions on the Trey and 360 11-10-09 MW2 more days

[MRMagoo123]

is it only pc thats had its price taken up cos MW2 at my local game shop JB HIFI is the same price as every other game on the ps3 and xbox.I personally cant wait to play this game its gotten me excited,Im also glad they kept the game the same basically because i like the game how it is why change it.To make a point alot of ppl here are fine with halo being the same every game but one or 2 new things but not MW2 why is that.Im getting this game tomorrow morning ive even made a new ID for it MRMagoo_on_MW2 so if there are any Aussies out there getting it ill be there waiting. :)

[MrCrabPuss]

Here's another good one...screw Kotick and IW and pirate that b!tch, or wait for a much better game like BFBC2 for example.

I may hate COD series but I can tell if a game is great and I would be in serious denial to say MW2 is not.

However,

In what way does this game offer above the rest when I still have to buy NGS2, Eternal Sonata, Resistance 2, R&C: CIT, Assassin's Creed II, Dragon Age: Origins and many others? Is it the multiplayer, the online, online, multiplayer, stupid idiots who couldn't play Killzone 2 without the "High-Precision Aiming" mode feeling right at home in COD again?

So your saying because the mass prefer the game to Killzone ,they are idiots ?? All these people are wrong ? I'm not bashing your love of killzone but I enjoyed cod4 more ,we can have different opinions but that does not make people idiots ,please don't cast your wild accusations around without thinking what your saying.
If I've mistaken what you said then I am sorry

[DigitalAnalog]

I'll re-iterate my statement again:

"stupid idiots who couldn't play Killzone 2
------------> without the "High-Precision Aiming"<-----------mod e feeling right at home in COD again?

Please learn to read next time.

I visited Gamestop yesterday to look get Mass Effect even though I had played thru it multiple times. I hadn't owned it yet so I was looking for a new copy but had to settle with a pre-owned one,

Anyways, as I was looking over the new releases, I overheard the store rep talk about MW2 saying that it was 'the biggest game release of all time' and I just couln't help but laugh. Seriously, there are plenty of bigger and far better games than MW2.

Ugh I hate Gamestop yet if you are smarter than the average bear, you can get some use out of mthem.
I just hate how their over-the-top salesman antics send the wrong messages to unknowning consumers.

[bigrudowsky]

honestly it is sad that people get taken by gamestop but in this case it is probably the biggest release in history. That says nothing about the quality of the game but millions of people are anticipating this game more than anything else in recent years im including halo 3 and gta4

[The_Denzel]

I think what the guy meant to say, "It'll sell the most because of all the fanbase of CoD4 and everyone is going to buy it again."

[hulud86]

Oh darn i already bought it. But this post would of, could of, but didnt changed my mind for sure. Every popular game has unnecessary garbage packs that include a replica of something stupid and the ulitame edition thas going to be worth nothing when this game isnt popular anymore. Theres a trick to this, dont be a dumbass and buy the standard version!

[bigrudowsky]

why are people still complaining about this game just leave it alone if you dont want to play it.. This will still be a great game. the only reason people are complaining is because of the pc community. Before anyone knew that the pc version was going to be the same as the console, everyone was wetting themselves over it, but now the game is automatically going to suck.. get over it im not buying this day one but will be buying it eventually the first mw had one of the most engaging stories in a fps and this one looks to trump that.. Just stop whining and dont buy if you really want to send them a message.

[jamboza]

meh ill still be getting this no matter what people say, last shooter i got was gears 2, now i need something that feels a lil diff to me, as well will be gettng bad company 2 in march

[Goomba12]

I'm going to play it...but I won't buy it. Play my friends copy he just bought.

[monkey602]

It'll be 45euro in Tesco for any of my Irish neighbours here!
It'll probably sell out extremely quick though (like Fifa did) so be fast!

[Son0Fsocal]

activision should have a sign up that reads"fools come and get
it" it's just another pointless shooter about the SAME thing,SAME missions
same content type lame storytelling, game that morons go out and buy not
realizing that it's basicly the same s**t!!

[Ownejj]

If you buy it we all get to come over and beat you with sticks.

[kraze07]

Wow. A couple days ago an article was posted talking about how a guy played Uncharted 2, loved it but thought the story was lacking and everyone instantly said it was fail. Now we have an article bashing the sh!t out of MW2, stating none of the positives which I'm sure it has, and most of you guys which I'm pretty haven't played the game yet are instantly jumping on the "let's hate MW2" bandwagon. Ridiculous.

And I can't believe all the people bashing the graphics. Name 10 multiplat games out on the market with graphics as good as MW2. They shouldn't even matter that much in the first place. If you're worried that much about graphics then I highly doubt you have many games seeing as how not all games out are visually on par with games like Crysis, Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2.

[Torinir]

I really don't care as much about eye candy as I do about the overall game play experience. A game can have graphics that would make reality look dull and bland, but be absolute garbage when you actually play it.

With the "improvements" Infinity Ward made to MW2, it took all the good things about MW1 on PC and threw them out, leaving a hollow shell behind. Who cares about graphics, when the core game play has been trashed?

[kraze07]

"Who cares about graphics, when the core game play has been trashed?"

I'm guessing you were only getting this game for the mulitplayer?

[Torinir]

I would have gotten the game for multiplayer, had IW not destroyed it already. And I never really cared for the SP campaigns in the CoD series. Too short, in my opinion. And the CoD series was always better for MP than SP anyway. Until now, that is.

[NiraTum]

i live in mexico so the street day is broken i have the game since last week, so i came to my home play uncharted 2, and then play Call of duty MW2.. OMG it looks like crap, my friend how was very excitement said it also... so im very dissapontign to this game. (niratum both from gametag and PS ID to check it)

[kraze07]

I'm guessing Uncharted 2 was the only game you had before you bought Modern Warfare 2 seeing how you think it (MW2) looks like crap. How many games released this month look an par with Uncharted 2?

[Zoob]

Rental or 2nd Hand.

[Ownejj]

plz stop complaining. if ur realy that much of a tight ass not to buy this game, us "gamers" dont care. we are getting it because its a new fps. yeh some might say that its only a bit better. but say u were at a store. and there was a choice between cod4 and cod 6. what would u choose?

[dorron]

COD 4 at 30€ vs. COD 6 at 70€-150€ ???

COD 4 all the way !!!!

[gtamike123]

Im getting M.A.G (256 players)not a over rated, last gen looking game.

[teto83]

COD 4 was one of the best games ever made and MW2 is going to be a great game too. i like this franchise, but i'm not getting it until i can buy it on the cheap.

one more thing...K2 is the best game compared to COD....and that my friend is the ugly truth.

[InLaLaLand]

Why I stopped playing Modern Noobfare 1. KILLZOWNED AGAIN???

[Darkfiber]

I find a lot of hardcore gamers aren't buying this game, it's the casual "buy Madden and Call of Duty every year" people who are buying it, who more than likely aren't the ones reading articles like this online, therefore this article is kinda pointless because it's not reaching the right audience.

But yeah, no way in hell I'm buying this game. Yawnfest.

[piramides30]

For Dread:

Listen Dad...:)))
It's clear that you haven't played Kz2 or you don't know how to do it.
Kz2 has a higher learning curve for the control than COD4 but when you take over the controls the experience is way better.
Thanks to the graphics and a solid engine the immersion in Kz2 is superior.

COD4 is a great game and MW2 too, but after Kz2 the Ps3 users like me are needed for more quality than that.

Go and enjoy your Crapbox360, you have no options.

[dorron]

Waste of money.

BF:BC 2 instead. Looking way better than MW2.

[Tr10wn]

wow just wow seriously fcking nerd don't know sh!t "£70 FOR ARTBOOK" the DLC cost £6 you are buying a collectors edition idiot if you dont want it dont buy it is that easy... "A Few Reasons NOT to Buy Modern Warfare 2 the most fcking anticipated game of the year" my midnight will have a DJ, events and surprise... call of duty is call of duty since the first one so please just STFO and go play killzone 2 if you don't like it.
