For me, i was'nt excited for another call of duty. After playing so much i got really bored of it. I recently played cod4 again and i realized how much fun it was to play. After playing other fps games, everything about cod4 was top notch.IM getting MW2for the new guns, maps, perks, killstreaks, and spec ops. I absolutely cannot wait for this game.

What are some reasons why you will or won't buy MW2 when it comes out?

I'll probably buy it used at some point but there's so much else I'd rather have at the moment it can wait. Plus they are screwing over the PC users of this game which I don't like at all and so don't want IW to have an extra sale. If they want to mess with what people want then the people need to show them it is not ok.

Well I was originally going to buy it because it was the latest shooter and everyone else was getting it. The more I think about it though, the less I want it. I barley play Killzone or Halo online and I like both of those more than CoD so it would probably wind up being played even less online and the campaign for any FPS (besides BioShock and The Darkness) has never been worth $60 to me. I may still get it eventually, but it definitely won't be right away.

Well I played the crap out of CoD: World at War so i definitely wanted the next Call of Duty game. I also rented CoD4 and liked it a lot. I think the more modern weapons are easier to use, more accurate, and it is much easier to kill someone. so yeah i'm looking forward to MW2.

Call of Duty has never been about the campaign; it's the online. That's why the campaign never justifys $60 - it's not supposed to.

I know its about the online and not the campaign. What I meant was that since I probably won't play it online that much so the only reason I would get it is the campaign, but since the campaign isn't worth the price, I won't get it.

This will be my first Call of Duty game on a console. Last COD game I played was the United Offensive expansion on my PC at LAN parties.

These COD games came out too fast; im burned out on them, while i would probably enjoy the campaign for MW2, i know i would get a "been there done the that" feeing from the multi player. I dont see myself getting untill the price drops, but by then there went be another COD game out, if not 2.

Honestly, I've tried the KZ2 demo and I've really enjoyed the killer visuals but is the reaction time of aiming always that slow?

the game has a slower pace than COD and its a bit of an awkward transition going from COD to Killzone 2. I first played Killzone 2 in the beta and just before the KZ2 beta I was in the R2 beta. going from the more arcade like fast paced FPS to KZ2 initially put me off of the game but after I got used to it I really wouldn't want to go back. It also gives the game a more tactical feel. I much prefer the pacing and weighted feel in KZ2 to the arcade like feel of COD and Resistance 2.

It's overpriced, I can't see it being radically different from COD4 and there's many other games I need to get instead this year.

When I first played MW1 I loved it! I thought the story was well written and it was such a great fps experience for the campaign. Then I got online and ever since then I was in love with the online aspect too :P.

I loved MW1 it had a great story and the online was very fun. So far the only two games ive ever played where I enjoyed the online in them are Cod 4 and Uncharted 2. So I will be picking up MW2 im just not hyped up for it.

I'm not getting it. I'm just not interested in FPS war type games. I've played several before (which got outstanding reviews from Gamespot) and they're not my thing. More into sci-fi shooters, horror/survival, hell, anything except "realistic" war type stuff. The enemies are identical, the weapons are mundane, the environments usually aren't half as interesting as what I see when I look out my window. Meh.

Well Uncharted 2 was not that much radically different from Uncharted 1 but its still a good game. Uncharted 2 had only 4 new guns from the first and the story felt just like the first also but was more well written.

Cod4 had a great story and hopefully MW2 will have a great story as well, and yes you are right MW2 is not that different from Cod4 besides the fact it has new weapons and a different story.

Thing is you cant really use the excuse "its the same as the last" because all sequels are pretty much the same thing from the last installment. Unless the game radically changes things such as gameplay mechanics and maybe the entire story it is still the same as the last installment.

I love you to :P

I'm not buying it because I don't really like it. I'll take SOCOM over MW any day of the week. My style of an online shooter I guess. Confrontation will hold me over until MAG and MAG will hold me over until SOCOM 4.

Well thats progress for you. Anyway the big selling point for COD and most FPS is the online and I'm not big on playing shooters online, I will get it when the price drops or I catch a sale for the campaign, like I got first MW for $15 at sale on the Barnes and Noble website. So I'm in no hurry to get it when I can get games like Assassins Creed 2 and NSMB Wii instead.

I will NOT buy the game.

Mainly because this game will be populated by young annoying teens... just like Blizzards' games... A community i don't want to be part of...

I'm probably not getting it because I don't really like CoD's multiplayer which is kinda the main focus of those games.

I'm not buying it because most FPS games boring as hell. The only FPS games I've found to be entertaining this gen are Team Fortress 2 and Bioshock.

It's the sequel to COD:4, the huge multiplayer additions and mostly the AC-130!

I don't like games where you just feel like a floating gun. IMO, KZ2 was spot-on. Also. Activision are getting very cocky. They know they can up the price, because it will still sell. But I don't see me getting a copy. Not until a price drop at least.

Ridiculous price over here in the UK. £55. When normal releases are no more than £40.

Also, Activision wants to INCREASE prices over here in the UK. Once, they said that games over here should cost around £70.

They, are greedy bastards. Therefore, I am not going to support them. However, everyone is still going to buy it.... Which is bad concerning the RRP of games overhere.

I have never bought a COD game and never will. I've played some of them, but I'm just not that into them. On PS2 I always preferred the MOH series and Battlefield 2. The next FPS I buy will more than likely be BF:BC 2 or MAG.

I'm technically getting it because it will be bundled with the Modern Warfare 2 Bundle I pre-ordered, but I plan on selling the game. I'm just so tired of the series. I just got that bundle because it was a good deal.

I won't be buying it new. if i could give Infinity Ward my money fine, but the business practices and the attitude of their publisher (Activision) have pissed me off that i don't want any of my dollars going to them.

I know it's futile, but even as just a gamer i stick to my principles.

I'll pick it up used, or buy it used off of eBay or Amazon.

I'm mostly excited for the story, the spec ops missions (the co-op stuff). i'm not super exicted about the multiplayer, but with all the different perk set up, i could very well be playing that game for a while.

of course, once i've done everything i wanna do in Fallout 3 GOTY, i'll go back to Uncharted 2.

MW1 was outstanding. I played that game almost a year but not every day, usually on weekend. I expect MW2 to be even better.

I will buy it
