Bear in mind that the majority of people who own MW2 started playing CoD with CoD4, or perhaps even later.

It's the new Counter-Strike.
Modern Warfare is the first high quality / high budget game that has capitalized on some things that made Counter-Strike so popular - the setting (modern weapons) and the gameplay (fast kills -> twitch combat). It isn't a coincidence that CoD's popularity skyrocketed when IW took the series out of WWII, and into the present.
Some major differences, like the lack of rounds or its focus on consoles have made it more accessible. Throw in a few other "improvements" (perks, leveling system, kill streak, graphics), and you get a massively popular game.

B) a girl. ha. ha. ha. OT, though.. its quite addictive, you WANT that next kill, you WANT to shoot things. i'm saying this as someone who played a FPS for the first time ever (excluding bioshock) last night. i am a recent convert. |
MW2 is like the new moon of video games for girls. I never realized it was so popular with girls until I had all these female friends updating their facebook about getting MW2. It's crazy. I know so many girls that play it. I've never come across one online though. I think that's cuz it seems like most girls are afraid to use a mic for obvious reasons...

I'd say MW2 has an overall best concept and depth of the COD series(for online that is). However I felt COD4 was perfected and fine tuned much better than MW2. If MW2 wasn't so popular and they were able to push back the release date I think it could have been the best COD game by far. I'd still say COD4 was a better game though.
mv2 most overratted game of the year, cod 4 is by far the best cod game

Counter-Strike is way better than Call of Duty.

Well, I agree! I never said otherwise.
Call of Duty is probably more accessible, though, which was what my post was about.
| Kantor said: So, to summarise your reasons for not liking Call of Duty: 1) You die too quickly... so you have to be careful 2) There's no cover system... so there is some skill required in moving away from bullet paths, etc. 3) You have to aim... so it's not all blindfiring. 4) You can't use a shotgun effectively...THANK GOD. So basically, it's too difficult for you? Do yourself a favour and never play Bad Company 2, or even KZ2. CoD4 is just about the easiest FPS in the world to grasp. |
so i hate cod. but i love bad company and halo though they are much harder than cod. not liking cod is not because you can't play well.
