So after 2 years to produce MW2 is just a new skin of MW?  whats your opinion about this?

I think that I got a HD console for HD gaming on a HDTV, thats the reason I made that investment so Im not happy about this.

My opinion on this is that if you bought an HD console for HD gaming on an HDTV, then you should perhaps be more careful what you wish for, because "HD gaming on an HDTV" is exactly and precisely what you are getting. You got taken in by marketers who told you that HD could somehow make games "more" than what they were before, and now you're starting to realize that it cannot. Seriously: you're arguing over something as trivial as the friggin screen resolution as though it made any difference whatsoever to how good the game is. This makes no sense, but then, that's exactly what marketers thrive on: manipulating people into doing things that make no sense, all to sell a product.

HD is nothing more than a new skin on the same old games. If this particular iteration of Call of Duty can teach you that lesson, then perhaps it will have been of some value to you after all.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
