*Cautiously Raises Hand*

I'm not that big into FPS's and Activision has been doing some pretty bad things lately so I don't really feel like supporting them. Who else is not going to buy what will most likely be the best selling game of 2009? (unless Starcraft comes out)

If you're not buying it what are your reasons? If you are buying it, what is it that captivates you most about the game?

I wont be buying it. I'll play it at a friends house. They don't need my money for glorified 2002 gameplay.

Not worth $60. Nothing really new to it. Just new campaign crap.

The E3 demo nearly put me to sleep, so probably not. Maybe I'll get it when it hits $30 or get it as a Christmas present.

So, it will sell a lot, therefore we must buy it? That's what you seem to be implying.

You're right, I should buy every game that is incredibly popular. How could I call myself a hardcore gamer if I didn't?

I am buying it for the multiplayer. I am implying nothing I am stating whether you buy it or not it will be a sales juggernaut because millions of people love it. Infinity Ward is making it so why mention Activision in the original post?

If it keeps me from being called a "HARDCORE GAMER" it's reason enough for me to buy it.

I don't think it has anything to do with you liking a game. It has more to do with you saying that you'll lose respect for anyone who does not buy it. :|

COD:MW was amazing and changed console FPS. The sequel will be bigger, louder, meaner and just as fun. I also said any console FPS fan that did not buy it, I was specific. I cannot understand why you would deny yourself so much fun?

Well, the gameplay in the Cod series has stayed the same since, well, 2002; and the campaign is already confirmed to be short again. I think it's safe to say it will be more of the same.

Thanks largely in part to twitchy, stat-whoring multiplayer fanatics that were brought into the CoD franchise with CoD4. Yeah, quite an accomplishment right there.

Because I had that fun in 2002. With CoD. Nothing's changed much. Thank you, I'd rather not pay 60 dollars to play the same game I've played for YEARS. Oh but it has shiny graphix and perks, it must be the best game ever!

I found the first Modern Warfare to be one of the most over-rated games in recent memory (the other being Oblivion).. Its singleplayer was subpar by today's standards with the most linear gameplay I have ever seen where you are unable to even open a door, and picket fences create the barriers.. Add in brain dead AI by making it dificult through endless respawns and programed to target you the majority of the time in a crowd of numerous friendlies.. And you got what the singleplayer basically was, the game had some interesting theater pieces but its story was nothing special with the stereotpyical bad guys.. And its multiplayer was nothing special. This is just my opinion mind you.

No, a copy and paste design of Cod4 is Cod:WaW. I am confident MW2 will be significantly better than the first.

So, what determines that WaW is a C&P job and MW2 isn't?

How?

Exact same graphics(sometimes worse), copied multiplayer perks, exp. progression, default aiming sensitivity was synced to Cod 4, grenade timer looks just like Cod 4.
