I hope it does, then everyone will stop playing / talking about Call of Duty.

your psot contains some serious amount of failure. In no way will the game flop, and in no way will it be unpopular if it does.
I hope it flops to teach activision a lesson, I have nothing against infinity ward but IM sure 1 flop wont kill them.
ALthough it WONT flop which is a shame...
why this got to flop? let something else to flop instead... eg why cod waw didnt flop? Why not assasin creed 2 or bioshock 2? there are the same game as the first and unimpressive...I hope it flops to teach activision a lesson, I have nothing against infinity ward but IM sure 1 flop wont kill them.

1. WaW came out already duh plus that was before imo activision got to there worst :P
2. Assasins Creed and Bioshock have nothing to do with Activision, and neither of them are the same game as the first at all, and they arent even released yet :P plus that wasnt why I said I wanted Cod to flop, I personally love the Call of Duty gameplay formula and think it worsk great.

ok i get your point and i agree activision has no right to do this, but i hope the sales flop not the game in rating and quality, if you know what i mean....Why do you want it to flop? I want it to do well so Infinityward will continue with it, but then i want Activision to break down and then I want EA to buy them up or some other company to buy them up so that Activision's CEOS can cry in shame :twisted:
See, I prefer to hate the publisher it self. Stupid Activision bought up infinityward and ruined their name among gamers. THey are actually a great company, and MW2 would have been much more original had Activision not bought infinityward and made them milk the franchise

So a company spends a lot of money to create a game for people who like that type of game and want to charge more to sell the title. Is that right? It's there product and they can sell it for whatever they want, if you don't agree, then don't buy it. Why force your bias on everyone else. Just shut up and play the games that you want to play and stop trying to make everyone else's decision for them. You guys that want it to flop are pathetic!!
Yes, I want it to fail miserably hard, and Kotick can blow it out his *** and die, then Activision will explode into infinity and never return.enterawesome
Do you really have to hope that someone dies over this? Because of you and the others that want it to fail, I'm going to buy several copies!!

Go for it - buy me a couple dozen copies so I can turn them into Christmas ornaments.Too bad it won't flop and will be shooter of the year.aero250"Shooter of the year"... ugh. MW2 will only get praise / awards based on popularity - it's hyped far too highly for the massively linear content it delivers. A game with such a broken spawn engine being considered competitive is amusing, but painful.

Just wondering what you would consider a better FPS? I really think that the CoD games are well done with great visuals, great single and multiplayer. What would you change to make them better?
I can't understand why anyone would want a game that was worked on for 2 years to flop. Activision has been getting a bad rap for comments some of their management staff have said but I don't think the hard work Infinity Ward put into this game should be ignored because 1 of their employees is an idiot.

What would you change to make them better?RickLemieuxI'd rather not get into specific games because it simply encourages fanboys of each game to come out and argue. Call of Duty has a broken spawn engine, unrealistic weapons, poor squad management, an on-rails single player experience, only scripted environment interaction, and utterly casualized multiplayer. It's everything *wrong* with the modern FPS in one game package. - The fact that we're going to get charged $90+ for the full game (since they're removing levels that would have been included and instead shoving them to the map pack), and that Activision still thinks we should be paying more is just icing on the cake. Modern Warfare has become the corporate zombie of corporate zombies. While I don't want to see it fail (who wants a bad game?) I understand people's frustration with it. Much like World of Warcraft, until Call of Duty dies, it's hard for better FPS titles to come along (on consoles, anyway).

Thats why I usually wait until a game drops to the $30.00 or $40.00 range before purchasing it. It makes me feel better when purchasing the DLC knowing I stilled payed less than original MSRP for the game. Did this for COD4 (37.99 at Bestbuy), Halo3 ($50.00 special edition at B.B), Soulcalibur4 ($24.00 at circuit cities clearance), SF4 ( $20.00 atgamestop 1-day sale)and a few others.
I kinda hope its good and I kinda don't.
On one hand, I liked COD4, it had fun multiplayer and a good single player campaign.
On the other hand, Activision is just going to make the MW series into a guitar hero. In that they will just demand more and more until I don't want it any more. Frankly I am turned off by all the things they are trying to get me to buy, 3 different versions, a day one map pack, certainly more to come just weeks later, and its just going to get worse.
I'll buy a used copy, at least then I'm supporting the better of two evils.
