You may be right about that, to a degree. But I think also MW2 is taking some heat from frustrated Pc gamers who feel that with the emphasis on consoles lately, some genres are actually devolving. And I personally feel that FPS are among those genres. Don't get me wrong...I enjoy FPS on consoles, but they are kind of laid back. One just sort of cruises through them. And that's fine. But sometimes you just want something more. I think many people feel it's a step back, and with the sales it's getting is a bad omen for things to come. |
Its more than that. Essentially any great selling game is a more casual game at heart and the more core/hardcore gamers look down upon those types of gamers. Casual players don't know anything about balance nor do they care that they have to buy a map pack with 2/5 maps from a previous game, they just want to play and enjoy the game. All of the negatives listed previously are irrelevant if the average player doesn't notice. You'll see here that the hardcore gamers on this site just want to be the centre of attention and they can't understand why 'bad' games like Mario Kart, Halo, Call of Duty etc sell so well and nor are they happy about it because it makes them realise how small they are in the market and how little market power they actually have.
Tease.
