Why so much hate towards MW2?

Honestly, I would like a Sony rep. to come out and say " Unless Activision drops the price of MW2 we might have to revoke their dev. kits for our systems and cut ties all together ":D

[QUOTE="Arjdagr8"] cod1,2,5 (skipped 3), halo series, half life series, crysis, counter strike, css, cs condition zero, left 4 dead, team fortress 2, quake, doom, final doom, doom 3, far cry (the last half of this game is absolutely horrid), far cry instincts, killzone 2, killzone(this game was pretty boring compared to killzone 2). I might have missed some but these are what i can think of from the top of my head. Be it multiplayer or singleplayer, cod4 is my favourite.

Also please don't accuse me of lying, its really annoying.

Just don't go down to his level. Ignore him.

even though i enjoyed COD4 i will be picking up a USED copy of MW simply because of Activision and their antics :evil:

i personally liked CoD4, take out Juggernaught, Stopping Power, Martrydom and kill streak rewards and it would be in my top 5favorite games.

In all honesty, I never understood why people complained so much about those 3 perks along with Last Stand/Second Chance. Juggernaught isn't that much of a problem and it doesn't give the person using it the huge advantage everyone seems to think it does. I really don't notice in either COD4 or COD5 when people use Juggernaught unless I'm sniping, which just means that the sniper won't be a cheap one hit kill and I will actually have to use some skill to get kills. Same goes for Stopping power more or less. As for Martyrdom, if you really get killed by it, then you deserve it. There is no reason you should be standing that close to the body of someone who just died when the grenade goes off. Hell, even if you knife them you still have enough time to sprint away before the grenade goes off. People should stop complaining about perks and figure out how to get around them.

As for the topic at hand, MW2 looks like it's going to be a great game in my opinion. Sure, it looks like COD4 but that's not really a bad thing. My only problem with the game right now is the fact that they are stripping maps from the game to make some quick cash with DLC. There is absolutely no reason there should be map packs on day one as far as I'm concerned. COD5 may be going a bit overboard with the map packs, but they are spread apart nicely and so far they have been able to satisfy for the most part. I will probably pick this game up on release but I sure as hell won't be buying maps the day the game comes out.

I think the hate for MW2 is ridiculous because people don't know what surprises are in store - I could say its just new maps, but then I could say that about a lot of shooter sequels. biggest_loser

They've risen the price in multiple countries for no reason what so ever. It's currently at £45 here for the standard with a recommended price of £55.

There selling maps day one so that £45 is upped by £10 to £55 just to get the complete game day one. If we factor in there recommended retail price activision thinks we should be paying £65 for there game. That's a £25 increase on console games. That's a whopping £35 increase on PC games. :lol: And WHAT for?

That there is good enough reason to be avoiding this game or picking it up second hand or flat out downloading it. Unless you enjoy paying £55 for a game that's going to be played and then dropped and replaced in less than a year. In which case can you give me £1000? You love giving out money so much.

I wont even go into how the games a cut and paste job.

Multiplayer addicted **** holes although that one may be more of a personal thing.

I also hear Activision basically force people to buy the new map packs for WaW and make it near unplayable for those without the packs, wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same **** here.

I heard that the campaign is going to be as short as the first one which is just unacceptable.

Ah so it's pretty much anti - activision. Got it. Yeah that is some BS bout upping the prices, but I'll still buy it. I do agree about the guitar hero thing, man did that franchise go downhill after the 2nd one.

Would've been fantastic if his first name was Richard. Then you could've called him Dick Kodick. Or if it was Richard Dotick. Then you could've called him Dick Douchedick.

...you're welcome for the info.

Totally agree, (red highlight) This would be the main reason I'm passing on MW2. Good game just seems to draw flies online.

It's going to be popular and System Wars hates/bashes popular games, nothing new.

I dont know why but people seem to hate games that get hyped alot. Examples:Halo 3, GTA4.

rangegear

While that may be true, I think the reason for the hate here is Activision's CEO Bobby Kotick. And it's well deserved imho.

MW2 is just the same as CoD 4 with the addition of prettier graphics and sticky grenades. To make it worse, Actvision is withholding content to be released via DLC on day 1, thats after you buy the full game.

You obviously haven't if CoD4 is your favourite.

Why did you call be a "Stalker"?

lol, all the blind senseless hate towards mw2 is funny, yet sad. complaining that its basically cod 4 with new maps? lol, what a fail. i could say the same thing about almost every sequal. omg!!!! super mario galaxy was just mario 64 but in a new location!!! its killing gaming!!! or.... omg!!! twilight princess was the same as oot but in a new place with a few new additions!!! its killing gaming!!! modern warfare 2 is doing exactly what a sequel should be doing, if not more. if you need to throw blind/stupid hate at something, throw it at nintendo.mtradr43

Its not "Modern Warfare 2," its just Modern Warfare with some new maps. Its exactly like Guitar Hero getting a new song list every year (now, its every few months). Everyone should hate MW2 and Activision, they are killing gaming.

Im_single

Well there is more to it than that. There is more/new guns, better graphics, supposively more bigger size maps (remains to be seen), more perks, new onilne system with possilbly more types of online games(will have to wait and see but would not doubt it). Its game of the year material all over again based off of what I've seen thats the impression I'm getting from it.

When I say new online system hopefully it wil be where you can pick and choose the lobby of the game you want to enter, choose the maps you want to play, and decide on the rules of the game you want to play. Decide in the game if you want to host a game or not instead of being randomly chosen.

Based on how Activitision is acting its telling me they have game of the year and they want more money for it this time around.

Its a copy and paste game that costs 10$ too much.

Wasdie

I think we need to see more of the single player to judge that Wasdie. Maybe the single player levels are more open-ended (somewhat) with already-spawned NPCs that don't pop up like carnival targets.

the hate mostly comes from elitist PC gamers who have lost the meaning of the word "fun" somewhere down the road and can't understand that people like games like CoD and don't like über relaistics FPS-es where you die the moment a bullet flies anywhere near 10m of you

CoD4 is atm still one of the best FPS-es with an amazing immersive singleplayer and an excelent MP

MW2 will be atleast that, day 1 buy from me

and I say that as someone who only owns a PC

The same reason people hate the Yankees, Patriots, Michael Phelps, or anything else that is successful. It's cool to hate on the winners.

Modern Warfare 2 looks like a good improvement from that crapfest of world at war..

[QUOTE="Crossel777"] Yes and buy 3 copies of Brutal Legend to add insult to injury.foxhound_fox

as what others are saying the hate is more with activison not infinity ward. i really feel bad for infinity ward they've always made great games and it activison sticking their nose and messing with a great formula by having another team make a COD game in the off years of infinity ward and activion jacking up the PC and UK versions of the game

Hah, Foxhound, you've got your own stalker now.

Whoa, ignorance is a bliss indeed. You don't have to deal with the anger of being ripped off...

The as explained is to activision not MW2. Charging 60 dollars for a PC game is pretty much an insult to PC gamers. I expect this game to get pirated alot.
