this game should be sweet



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

The lack of the Call of Duty name will make it undersell even World at War.

 

disagree.  This game will outsell CoD4

 

That will absolutely 100% not happen. I would bet quite a lot of money.

 

I'm sorry, I have to disagree Naz, for several reasons...

Modern Warfare is already its own solid brand.  Many more people have played or know about COD4:MW than who own it.  The user base for PS3 and Xbox 360 is larger than it was.  It is not going up against Halo 3.

I actually think losing the COD name will allow the game to be  completely separated from the same-as-every-other-FPS image.

Lastly, Activision is really pushing it... people buy anything moderately adequate that is advertised, this will probably be good. 

They are advertising an advertisement and the internet has lit up (not quite exploded) on a sunday night; that is a feat initself.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

For the sake of all things 3rd party, please let Microsoft or Sony put these types of games up as Digital Downloads. I will never buy another game on DVD, but I want this game real bad.

LoL
Why? Just why?

You're a Greenpeace rep?
You can't move? No legs? Can't go shopping?
Media Discs gives you nightmares?

I need to know.
Weirdest thing I've heard this year so far.

 



     

My Gaming Setup

Its a real shame this series must look so dated, but the controls and fun factor of this game are just so far ahead of the other FPS games.

You're close. More people know about CoD4 than own it. When has anyone called it anything other than CoD4? If you talk to random people who don't pay attention to all these internet details they'll talk about CoD4, not Modern Warfare. The CoD name is incredibly powerful. This is very obvious by World at War's sales.

I'm not saying it won't sell great. It will be a many multi-million seller, but CoD4 is the best selling shooter of all time, and Modern Warfare 2 has no chance of catching up to that. As I said it may not even catch up to World at War. If you want, I'd be willing to take a WiiWare game bet with you on it underselling CoD4.

I would but I am unemployed... I know I haven't been around that much in the past year but I've never been one for predictions anyway...

What's funny about the bolded part is that 2 people I know were calling it Modern Warfare.  I don't use this as evidence of my prediction being right.  I use it as evidence of my bias, I think it is pretty funny how things can influence our perception and analysis...
