[QUOTE="XVision84"]

each their own opinion :P Like I said I played it for 5 months and loved the maps.

bloodling

Exactly, I used to like playing Warhawk with friends but for some reason I cannot put the disc back in anymore.

I know what it is, Its the rampent base bombing, or well all the problems with spawning that MW2 has that warhawk had first. I loved leaving for a few months before the map packs for warhawk were released comming back geting the 3 pack then not playing ever again *wasting so much money* cause every match I entered either lagged, or the enemy had set warhawks up above the base and bombarded us continuously I never died that much in MW2 upon spawn. I remember when warhawk first came out it actually took skill to fly the things and survive on foot you could take other stuff out reliably, in tanks too...now the warhawks in that game are so overpowered compared to every thing else you have to spend all your time in one really, which is why the game should never have had on foot or in tank portions it should have been like crisom skies simply start out a match in your plane.

um kay...sept the map pack is quality and good and totally worth the money, and the mappack was made when those people were there.

I guess CoD maps are fine, until you play Battlefield. Or even Halo 3. People are playing MW2 because of the name, not of the quality. Its an OK multiplayer game, but I dont know how anyone can say its great with the amount of unbalance it has.

Battle field 2, battled field modern combat maybe, but not Bad company those games totally blow and have since the 1st destructablitiy amounts to being able to blow out all the walls but not the ceiling of a building and really just means you have no where to hide, simply take out the buildings and you get about the same gameplay, as well it has just as many glitches and hacks now *bc2* that mw2 seems to be having, I've seen some truly amazing things on the pc and 360 version when I watched my friend play BC2. Modern warfare and Battlefield 2 are good games, Bad company is not and I wouldn't compare it to any good FPS, And people are playing battle field and halo because of the name not the quality. Halo 3 multiplayer I detested I loved its single player. *wants his halo 2 multiplayer* MW2 is a quality game regardless of hacks and glitches since those hacks and glitches were found by an army of hackers looking to break the game cause it has no dedicated servers or mod tool sets and that made them mad. This map pack is quality I've had it for a few days and have had loads of fun in matches on it.

Wow, talk about milkage extensions...

I remember there was a female poster here (Amy_Mizuno??) said something about how these chargeable DLC is going to destroy the gaming perspective and thought it was all just SW BS...

I guess it was coming true after all. M$ is one of the well known brand that started these milkage...

Bazooka_4ME
hmm...its going to destroy gaming? right not in the least. Consumers destroy their part of the culture not the companies. and sorry to say but MS didn't start it MS simply furthered DLC, DLC existed before Microsoft regardless of what others say and noting that I know of on the original xbox milked in DLC terms, I had loads of fun with every thing on the original xbox I downloaded and by the time the 360 was out others started releasing paid for DLC as well. So its not even remotely Microsoft's fault. P.S: supply and demand has existed long before Microsoft it was just a given time before it extended to DLC so unless Micorosoft created business it self they are not at fault.

I see youve played it :roll: Not only does BC2 have destructability (which has a huge effect, because never have a seen a map where every building was taken out), has vehicles that add another dimension to gameplay, better balance than MW2, but it also looks better and supports teamwork. This is something I cannot say for MW2. All MW2 players care about is getting a high K/D ratio. This is pretty evident when every match I enter has a guy with the marathon perk running around with dual akimbos. Its retarded and mindless. Unfortunately, thats what most people want.

"MW2 sells 1mil in 1day"

http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2-dlc-one-million-served-in-24-hours-170277.phtml

Keep in mind, it's only on the 360 right now.

As much as I dislike MW2, it certainly has a devoted audience.

Edit; apparently, it's sold more than 2.5 mil now.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/07/modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package-sells-over-2-5m-units-in-a-w/

That's better than the clear majority of console exclusives -- it's quickly catching up to the lifetime numbers of Uncharted 2 and Littlebigplanet, and beat the lifetime sales of Killzone 2 in a week.

Wow.

WAIW

How many times must it be stated. Sales are not a measure of the quality of a game, only how well it has been marketed. Example, Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, but you would be hard pressed to find many people who would say it is the best movie they ever saw.

Yeah, because no PC gamers bought Modern Warfare 2. I have no idea how it made its way to the top of the Steam sales charts.

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"][QUOTE="Syn_Valence"]

this just goes into what ive been saying all along.......lemmings are the bane of the gaming community.......first you pay for online......then you pay 60 dollars for a expansion now this crap...........thanks alot.......i bet this doesnt even sell half as much on the ps3.....sickening

Megaman5364

And cows paid 25 quid for a demo :roll: Lemme guess, if this doesnt sell as well on the PS3, it'll be because PS3 players are smarter right? No way could it be down to the lower install base or lower sales of the game.

No it will be because we have better exclusives to play rather than waste time on MW2. ( btw you just got owned )

yes....4 million people buying a $40 demo with a whopping 75 cars means they have better things to do than the 2.5 million who payed $15 for 5 maps:roll:

basically, if you have so much to pay and are superior in intelligence, those sales of a demo should have been much lower.

Wow, that's sad. Not for Killzone 2, but for those who actually bought the MW2 map pack.

I can't believe people still find that garbage fun. I gave it up after 4 days pl;ayed online and havn't touched it since.

man im sick of this comparing a full game to measly 5 maps and a ripoff price

- -last i seen kz2 launched at 59,99 whilst these maps launched at a 15 price point huge difference but still compared to all the other map packs your getting rip off

i can buy 8 rugrats episodes with 1500 points ,, -i came i did and i will continue to support rugrats i dont care if mw2 comes out for 29,99 i will not pay noi 15 for 5 measly maps which i think should only cost 800 points

or even 400 considering your getting 1 less new map compared to 4 new ones in the cod4 map packs or 5 map packs ,

yea because metacritic clearly has been destroyed in metacritic.

CoD3 89

MW1: 94

WaW 82

MW2 94

WaW with 82 being the worst meacritic score in the last 4 games. Reviewers hate CoD clearly. I know your saying they COULD not they have... but what are you basing that on? So far the sales have made fine sense keeping in line with critical success. MW1 was the first big success, MW2 was even bigger, with the 3 and 5 recently as successes but not on the same scale. Theres no reason to believe thus far that coD buyers dont listen to critics, because critics LOVE CoD

itll probably outsell killzone 2 on the ps3 too. cows like to brag about exclusives but most ps3 players don't give a crap about cheerleading sony by hyping a crappy game like killzone 2..and sure wont spend their money on it!

yeah with the amount they make from these map packs they could easily reduce the price and still make a massive profit

Can you guys shut up with the MW2 hate? Yeah the DLC is too much but big deal. MW2 is a great game, but nowdays it seems popular to hate blockbuster games. You guys don't know jack about game dev your all just whiney kids that want to sound like your not impressed by this game. There is obviosuly something awesome about the game considiring it scored fairly high on metacritic and millions of people play it.

Dont know why people are crying over this. They gave out DLC, People brought it. Thats it.
