I didn't buy it. I wanted to, but after the Activision/IW stuff I held out. Luckily I started watching videos and heard about how they nerfed the sniper rifles and all the casual noob-friendly stuff they put in, and now i don't WANT the game because of that. So i'm waiting on Bad Company 2 (unless MAG somehow convinces me it'll be better).

i didnt' buy it. not because of the terrorist scene, i think the game would probably actually be pretty fun. no, i didn't buy it because i don't like EA/IW's code of business ethics as of late. the whole "we're in a recession so we should charge people more" business model isn't one i can stand behind.

Yes. I think the game is a noob fest. The SP looks good but I'd rather be playing other stuff.

I have no intentions of buying it..Military murder simulators don't appeal to me,and the ignorant fratboy/meatbag community yelling annoying crap over the mic is just icing to the cake.

I mean just because you have the ability to speak,does not mean you should.

I love how everyone is so proud of themselves because they didn't buy a video games. I wouldn't buy MW2 because I don't like the look of it, and havn't liked CoD for a long while. I don't like Activision, but if I thought I would enjoy the game it's not going to stop me from playing it. People have diffrent tastes, and for the most part people don't care if the company behind the title is "evil". And why should they? It's a video game, the most important part is that it's fun. You're supposed boycotts wont affect a game that sells over 5 million with ease. Still, there arebettergames that deserve more.

With all due respect, you're pretty pathetic if you feel proud of yourself for not buying a game.

You aren't "Sticking it to The Man" or fighting some big evil power, so stop having these delusions of grandeur.

You're worse than those religious nutjobs that stand on street corners preaching about the apocalypse. No offence to any religious people, I know the vast majority of you guys are perfectly sane.

[QUOTE="hot114"][QUOTE="Doctor-McNinja"]I bought it and returned it the next day. I hated it from start to finish, which is just plain strange, as everyone i talk to freakin' loves it and i liked COD2 and COD4 very much.Doctor-McNinja
The campaign was a disapointment compared to 4 but the online is delicious.

Yeah i thought the campaign was mega-fail, but i just couldn't enjoy the online at all. I played 15 games then decided i'd be better off returning it. A few things about it annoyed the heck out of me: 1) No matchmaking whatsoever. They make it LOOK like there's some matchmaking going on, but there isn't at all. You're getting put into a random game full of randomly selected players. In my very first game as a level one, i was in a game full of level 40s, 50s and even over 60s. Needless to say i got my ass handed to me. 2) They've taken the most infuriating aspect of COD4 - giving the players who are best at the game bonuses, while giving the people who are losing nothing - and made it 100 times worse. Now, all it takes is for the other team to get a slight lead on you, and then you'll find one kill-streak bonus after the other bombarding you to the point where you're just getting dominated. etc.


1. I fully agree but i was warned about the match customisation or rather lack thereoff beforehand and consider it forgivable aslong as the play is good.

2. This greatly evens out as time passes. currently ya got CoD4 vets making virtual sishkebab out of the new recruits. theyr advantage grows thinner with every passing day. (almost infuriating to be stopped in a domination map 4 minutes after the match started because someone throws a nuke - just had a match stopped while both teams had less than 40 out of 200 points not fun at all.)

3 and on: Thats basically what CoD stands for to me. MW1 was my first CoD game and that type of gameplay is exactly why i purchased the sequal. it definetly wont be everyones cup of tea and its a good thing you were able to return it in time for full refund (the starting burst rifle is actually one of the best weapons in experienced hands, Its sort of a joke that they give a hard to use gun at the very start when everyone obviously wont have the experience to make good use out of it yet. )

I'm still stuck on the new-game-hype as i just got it last saturday but so far the online play is solid. (Tough i am already sick of nukes!) What i like especially about this series is that all weapons actually "feel" diverent rate of fire, range, damage, handling etc gives your weapon kit a very dynamic feel

I didn't buy it becuase of issues i had witht he PC version of the game. I decided I didn't want it. Instead I'm holding out for something else. However, I'm not "proud" of it. What reason do i have to be proud? What makes you some sort of better person becuase you didn't buy what is potentially a great game. If it doesn't suit your tatstes thats fine but all I'm seeing is a bunch of ignorant statements shouted from atop a high horse.

To be perfectly honest I thought Call of Duty 4 (next to Oblivion) were one of the most over-rated games of this gen.. From what I have seen of the sequel, nothign has changed.. It stil has the extremely linearity of its predeccesor.. Where you can't even open doors.. It still has mindless AI that only makes it challenging by throwing what seems like a endless army, that usualy SPECIFICALLY target you even when you are one guy ina group of allies.. The only thing CoD4 had going for it was some "theatre" pieces that you had very little control of.

dualwielding is a gimmick at best, you are not able to aim your gun AT ALL only hipfire, its just a (stylish) alternative to the shotgun. The game has a few unbalancing aspects but dual-wielding is definitely not one of them.

I didn't buy it.

I thought people were overreacting when they made a big thing about no dedicated servers.

Then I realized everytime I play L4D, I'm PLAYING a dedicated server. And now I love them because they are always offering something different.

Now I'm definitely not buying MW2.

After playing BF:BC, it's just the better game imo...comparing that to CoD4 i don't see MW2 being too different. BC More realistic, less nooby, and more fun. That's another way its turning out like Halo, the HUGE following it's getting and the blind fan's who would buy MW3 even if it was a golf game...

No I couldn't pass up buying the game from Amzon for $48 with a $20 dollars towards future game purchase to check this out. I really wanted a splitscreen game to play with my g/f and special ops is fun. Essentially I got the game for $28 so even if the the SP is only 5 hours is worth it in my book.

I don't own the game nor I plan to buy it, but that doesn't mean I'm helping out the "Hate Wagon" I'm just not interested in shooters at the moment. Also those that are calling people "tools" for buying MW2 should find a new hobby.

I didn't buy it because I'm getting tired of first person shooters. We need more original games like Tales of Vesperia and Sonic Unleashed.

I'm so sick of shooters overpopulating the PS3 that I just had to go back to my PS2 and play some good old JRPGs. (I recently bought Tales of Legendia because I loved Tales of Symphonia and wanted to try some more Tales games.)

I did not buy it, nor am I ever planning on buying it.

It sickens me that games like this are so popular and have even made it onto the news. Everybody in my English class (including my professor) were aware of this game...I find it annoying when people make ridiculous claims that this game is the greatest game of all time..

It doesn't have the best story (or even a good one), single player is really short, it has some downgrades from MW1, and it doesn't even have the best multiplayer (I hate the closed environments..I prefer Battlefield).

I hate how people get so easily swayed by popular opinion. I got a little mad during my English class and started a huge debate about how it wasn't anywhere close to being the best game, let alone a good game at that. I was also playing OoT during this debate so I had a legit reason to get mad, lol.

I also later got into an argument with this other kid in my class who was writing his paper about how Apple made the best computers.......this class made me facepalm so much..

I didn't buy it and thank god I didn't. The single player campaign wasn't bad by any means, but the campaign in MW1 was better imo. Of course that's when it was brand new and everything but I thought the story was a bit weak and I only enjoyed the few scenes where you didn't have to kill people and could sneak by. Also it was frustrating watching my A.I. buddies get ignored by the enemy while I soaked up the majority of the bullets, resulting in a quick death while my pals ran right past the enemy. I'm surprise Killzone 2 got bashed on the same thing and nobody has said a word on this for MW2. The online play is a bit more interesting now, but for the most part not much different from MW1. Is the game good? Most definitely. Is it worth $60? Ehhhhh probably not.

:D i got a laugh out of that one.

Not sure if you guys got the memo but MW2 is extremely arcadey, they did a great job at making all the weapons have a distinctly unique feel to keep the experience fresh but any RL similaritys stop there.

Anyway in all seriousness, CoD4 was a (console) FPS revolution and a awesome shooter on top of that, it really nailed all the weapons and controls perfectly. MW2 is CoD4 all over again with TONS of extras: more guns, more perks, more maps, more attachments, more extra equipment. But by this time the bar raising CoD4 formula has been copyd to death and everyones complaining the actual sequal is not doing enough. I'l take the game as it is, the same slick CoD4 formula with all the new content i need to warant me picking it up again. I did not hear anyone complain Halo2 was the same crap over? why not, because its all about the multiplayer after playing the same maps and guns for years people just want new content for the game they already love.
