* Lower production value.  You are not going to get a wide range of voice actors, Hans Zimmer doing the soundtrack, and what is equivalent to Hollywood Blockbusters.  


Damn, I laughed a lot at that for no apparent reason

I like your vision. I'll have this in mind.

On August 20, 2009, Robert Bowling revealed through Twitter that Kevin McKidd, Craig Fairbrass, Barry Pepper, Keith David, and Glenn Morshower were confirmed voice actors for the game.[41] It was later confirmed that McKidd would voice the protagonist, "Soap" MacTavish.[42] Fairbrass, who voiced Gaz in Call of Duty 4, provided voice work for "Ghost". Billy Murray confirmed that he would reprise his role as Captain Price from Call of Duty 4.[43] Rapper 50 Cent provided voice work for the Special Ops and multiplayer modes, portraying "one of the squad [member] voices."[44][45] The main theme of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was provided by Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer,[46] while the soundtrack was composed by Lorne Balfe who co-produced 2009 film Sherlock Holmes score with Zimmer.[47] The soundtrack was officially released on June 1, 2010.

Hans Zimmer did the sound track to Modern Warfare 2.  So, while maybe you thought I was going over the top for effect, it did actually happen.

Want to know non-indie vs indie?  Non-indie hires Eminem to do the soundtrack, while Indie finds some guy off craigslist looking for a break to have their music discovered.  

But guess which one is more likely to come up with an original concept?  Starving artists will go outside the curve of norm to find something.

 

Edit: Correction, they had Hans Zimmer do the main theme.  My bad...
