Modern Warfare 2 at £55 in the UK is a Myth (Resumeplay)

Resumeplay - Infinity Ward and Activision have had a lot of bad press lately because of the decision to sell Modern Warfare 2 in the UK for £55. After walking around two busy cities today I thought I would try to find a retailer selling it for that price.

Jesus people! The RRP_ is £55. It ISN'T a myth and the article is beyong dim. Most retailers are sucking up the extra that they HACE to and ARE paying to Activision for MW2. They'll do that this time for two reasons:1,Sainsbury's and those selling at under £30 are doing so as a loss leader just to get people in their stores and buying other things and for the good publ;icity it gives them. and 2, Other stores are selling it at the same price as other games in the hope they'll recoup the loss by the vast number of sales.

Either way Acti still get their money AS IF we were paying £55per copy. It's THAT simple. what is also simple is thet the prive hike will look a success to them and all future big releases will probably follow suit and do you think that retailers will suck it up every time or that this won't cause the next COD to go up across the world? I think the answer to that is simple too myself.

The fact the punter wasn't asked to pay the extra is a BAD thing. We might have realsied we were being conned in the hope they could then do it in their homeland but as we didn't see it on shelves... It's a fait accompli. We lost and games will go up in price as a result. The retailers doing what they did just made it less likely there was going to be many stand up to IW's and Acti's awful behaviour surrounding this release.

Hope I'm wrong. Doubt I am. Didn't buy it.

I've just bought for £32 from Amazon.co.uk, it was just too tempting and there is no Sainsburys and Asdas where I live.

SpoonyRedMage5308d ago

Well the RRP is £55 but I think everywhere has it at least reduced to £45. Sainsbury's had it for £26!

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.

PunksOnN4G287d 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!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood287d 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

PunksOnN4G287d 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

ManMarmalade287d ago

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.

StarkR3ality287d 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.

TheColbertinator286d ago

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

PunksOnN4G287d 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

andy85287d ago

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

Jin_Sakai287d ago (Edited 287d 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.

PunksOnN4G287d 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

peppeaccardo287d 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 !

jznrpg287d ago

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

anast287d ago

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