WOW-GS members giving COD MW2 Low Scores ! ?

So far, I've read a couple "Gamespot" members' review of Modern Warfare 2, and I have to say, "How couldsome of these folksgive this game a 'Dysmal or even a Mediocre' rating"? I understand if some of them are disappointed by a couple of the changes with the multiplayer aspects - but you should also learn a little about giving such low scores. There are so many more items in a game to judge than just a couple normalities that u've been used to in the past 2 COD games.

Obviously the graphics have been improved. More attributes during multiplayer, fast paced action story. Sound is superior as always. Even if you didn't find the game all that great to your liking - it still shouldn't get a Dismal Score due to a couple -personal disgruntlments of what you may have expected.

Sure, I'm a COD fanboy - and obviously so are the ones who anticipted something "exatctly like the last 2 COD's" - otherwise you wouldn't have been so peeved with the changes. If you were brand new to the Game Genre and COD6-MW2 were the very first COD game you've played, would you still give it such a low score.

BTW - structure, qualityand graphicsof the game alone are enough to gain an above average score (8.5).
My fanbase subject of the game increases the score considerably. Due the fact that it's running on 'Steam' - lowers the score down from a 9.5....so-9.0 should do..

Most of them are just tired of hearing about it. They're the same people who hate CoD4, Gears of War, Halo everything, etc.

I'm sure tat GS will not give less then 9...

They've probably already completed the single player and are disappointed it lasted less than 5 hours.

I was a HUGE fan of Wolfenstein before remake - and from my Enthusiasm of Return to Castle Wolfenstein - I had already prejudged the the remake before I purchased it. And was Hugely disappointed.
I won't go in to details, but if its a sequel, most are a fan whom purchase it in the first place, and in my case - Same goes with Star Wars - Love the originals-hate the Prequels.

So, Im delighted that MW2 turned outas good as it did. And by now I've finally gotten tired of COD4 and W @ W.

IGN reviews are worse: http://rr.pc.ign.com/ReaderReviewIndices/CategoryList.aspx?channel=pc&reviewtype=pc&object=14280895

If they released a demo, I'd be willing to rate it honestly. However, I'm not paying $60 to try a game I most likely won't enjoy.zomglolcats

Looking at the game in isolation it probably deserves a 7 or 7.5. The reason I gave it a 1.0 is because it is not taking PC gaming where I, and a lot of PC gamers want PC gaming to go. If it were developed and published by small/not very well known companies then I wouldn't give this game a second thought and just ignore it. Unfortunately a lot of developers in the PC gaming industry will develop future games based on EA's and IW's model (they are considered leaders) and I believe it is wrong. This is why the game gets a 1.0.

Which makes you biased, and your post irrelavant. When you are a fanboy to a product, you refuse to listen to points and arguments of the people you are preaching to. Therefore, there is no point in arguing about it.

[QUOTE="Xsan3"] I disagree..When talking about a game Sequal - more than likely, most who purchase the game will obviously be a fan of atleast Modern Warfare 1. Cause if the first was no good - than the second would probably have not been made?

Ok, so do you expect us all to give it 8.0+ scores?

fudgeblood

I think he's expecting us all to rate the game after we play it and decide if it's good or bad or mediocre.

I never mentioned high scores.

I find it hard to believe that in less than 24 hours over 500 PC-focused Gamespot users completed the campaign (5 hours), the 23 spec-ops missions (more than 5 hours according to IGN) and played enough of the multiplayer to accurately rate it.

What do you think about IGN player rating of 1.2, eh? Look at all these 0.0 reviews over there!

Just be thankful they are getting low scores and aren't getting done for extortion. Paying £10 extra for the air inside the box.

I wouldn't mind playing through the campaign, but at that price they can take their marketing plans and go to blazes.

Mazoch

[QUOTE="Mazoch"][QUOTE="Xsan3"]*bing* Branga hit it exactly. A lot of you should research how a Terrible or even a Mediocre game is judged and rated. I'm not saying COD6 deserves a great-Top score, but atleast try and score the game for what its worth.

zomglolcats

[QUOTE="zomglolcats"][QUOTE="Mazoch"] I seriously doubt anyone actually considered those reviews legit. People didn't rate the game 1 or 0 or 10 or whatever to make it look like a legit review. It's simply a way for consumers to express themselves. Call it the bumber stickers of the internet :PXsan3

RE:kieranb200

Personally, I hated the Admin priveleges on COD4 & 5. I'd usually get booted by the Admin for some ridiculous reason like; running, using a knife, too many kills - ignorant stuff-too many Admins claiming too many rules per server. And I really despised 40 and 50 players to a room. It seemed like all the best Ping'd servers either had too many players or too many Admin rules.

So I really like the lack of control from others... And I understand taht most don't. However, I also really like the MOD service that both 4 & 5 offered. I didn't even think about that after I began playing. That will certainly be sorely missed. :( Regardless - it's still not a bad game, certainly not at the bottom of the bargain bin.

A FanBOY is someone who will support a product simply because of the name or creator, and not because of the quality of the product. See if you were a wolfenstein fanboy, you would be defending the remake even though you knew it blew out the ass.

gosmo

IN the case of COD fanboyism - I welcome any new changes to the original Modern Warfare...Especially if the graphics are beefed up a bit more. And to clairify about my defending COD6 - im not trying to defend it at all, it just urks me when I see ridiculous lowscores on decent games.

Is the opinion valid if you don't know what you're talking about?

Is the whole point of user reviews ignored or distored?

It's fascinating to see Internet users uniting like this, but the line must be drawn somewhere before manipulating and destroying truly useful features. Make a reasonable review, give the game the points it deserves for SP, co-op, production values and story and detract the points it deserves to be retracted for the MP, but don't be extreme. Defaulting to the extreme example doesn't help your argument.

Wow, I can't believe the many 1 ratings people are giving it. I'm not going to buy the game myself because of the dedicated servers announcement but I'm not going to rate a game a 1 just because of it.Pvt_r3d

Even worse : User Score: 1.3 (440 Votes). Ouch :lol:

Ps : While I am certainly enjoying the backlash (which will not matter much), but I don't think rating the game low just because you don't agree with company's decision is a good idea. If you don't agree don't bu

Why would you buy it if you think the game is going to be bad? The people who buy it will no doubt be biased in favor of it, so the scores are biased no matter how you look at it. All indications are this will be a sub par PC game. It might be fine on a console, but PC gamers are used to so much more.

Either trolls or people turned off by IW and Activision's decisions.

Remember, if it isn't a valid/proper review, REPORT IT.

All indications are that the MP will be downgraded. Downgraded doesn't mean not fun, just less fun. Fun is what matters most.

I'm afraid the biased in favour of it thingy is a very flawed logic. Interested doesn't mean biased. If it were so, nobody would be disappointed by their purchases.

I see no point in rating a game if you don't play it. It's downright trolling.

I agree with this last comment. I personally feel that the PC game community giving the game a low rating is sending a message to IW and all other game publishers. It's all about the message in this case.

That's like saying I can't give Bush 'a bad rating' without first having experienced him being in office for 4 more years.
