Would you pay 10 bucks to play a MW2 demo?

of course I would. It looks like an amazing game and even if they only included like 5 minutes of gameplay I'd still get it. can't wait for 11/10/09!

Why would you pay to play a demo? That defeats the purpose of a demo IMO.DJ_Magneto

There are better games (IMO of course) coming out this year that I am more interested in. My bro will be buying this game, so I will play it a bit, but this is Activision we are talking about here. You tell them you want to pay $10 for a demo, they will do it. They like money... a lot. Day 1 dlc, too. Really is a bummer.

No way, no how. Especially if it was only 5 minutes of gameplay!

no way!!!!

No way because a couple weeks later your gonna have to buy the game for like $70 plus your $10 for demo that your never gonna play again. Better save the $10 for DLC that is sure to follow within a month.

Exactly.

Demo is short for demonstration. Why should I pay a developer $10 to demonstrate the gameplay that will already be included in a game that is already gonna cost $60+. That just fuels other companies to attempt to get away with squeezing as much money from a game as they can. It takes no work, effort or extra money to create a demo. Well it may cost them a few bucks, but that's the point. Demos are created to get people interested in a game, it's a marketing tool and a form of advertisement in the video game world.

Consumers should never ever pay to see/play an advertisement! That is the most stupid thingI have ever heard suggestedsuggested! (besides bailing out AIG)

I would love to be able to play a demo for MW2 but I am deft. not going to pay for it or any other demo ~ They start that and everyone else will do it too ~

LMAO, you can't be serious with this thread. The purpose of the demo is to give people the chance to see how that game is before it actually comes out. Thats like paying to go to E3 and paying $10 to play ever demo game on the floor. It makes no sense.

I would because I'm a Modern Warfare junky and it's only $10, which doesn't hardly buy anything anymore anyway.

That was too many "any's". Sorry.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard...wwervin

Agreed. I wouldn't do it even with a gun to my face. Worst idea ever, really.

They start that and everyone else will do it too ~Sassy-Cc

This being one of the reasons.

Nope. Looks awesome and I can't wait until November but I would NEVER pay for a demo.

No I wouldn't pay for a demo. Just waste of money. Rather wait to spend my money on the full retail version.

i would never pay for some extra costumes. let alone for a demo. thats just plain dumb

sure--i paid 50 for zone of the enders to play the metal gear solid 2 demo

3,000,000 people paid $40 for the Gran Turismo 5 demo... HEY-O!

I'd be willing to sacrifice $10 for a beta invite to this game... I really really want to play this game nao.

I would just wait for the intense CoD fanboys to get a hold of it and then see what they had to say about the demo, I have patience.

You are still missing the point. Did you even read my comment above re what is a demo???????

Also about streamlining the gameplay, lol, once a demo comes out, the discs are already being printed and the game is finalized--expect for updates, dlc, etc. People can already sample it and do reviews of demos if the demo is free. How does charging for a demo change this.

Lastly, it wouldn't be in a company's best interest to charge for a demo. Less people would purchase the demo and less people would get a chance to get interested in the game. However, I can see how a game like COD wouldn't matter where millions of people already plan to purchase the game, but regardless, there would be no benefit but getting 10 bucks for the suckers that payed for a demo. And I still don't see how paying wets someones appetite, when I get get it for free and have that wet my appetite. You logic has no sense.......

No i can wait for the game.

No I would never pay for a demo. I can wait a few months for the actual game to release.

There's no way I'd PAY for a demo, I just wouldn't pay for an unfinished snippet of what the actual game will achieve.

No way what next unlocking the sprint feature for $5?

Sure, why not. I'll probably have more fun with that demo than some full retail games...

I want the game as much as anyone else but coughing up an extra $10 just to try the game sure does seem like a waste.

No way. I'm not a big fan of COD 4 so no.

[QUOTE="joke_man"]

[QUOTE="MrD3PO"] Yes, but it's just a demo so who cares if everyone does it? It doesn't change the fact that you still won't be able to buy it until the release date....so if some are willing to shell out $10 clams to preview a sample, what's the harm? It isn't offering an advantage, it just wets the appetite and will create an even bigger market with message board buzz. Maybe it would even give the creators a chance to streamline the gameplay based on reviews of those who sample it.Tom_delonge555

Sorry for the misunderstanding Tom. I was actually quoting MrD3PO, not you. The quoting thing can be a little bit confusing and easily misconstrue a quoter's or quotee's idea(s). MrD3PO actually quoted you and I followed by quoting him, thus it was all "above" as I stated.

Thanks for agreeing, and to everybody out there, don't be stupid.
