Well there you have it. Remember why the game is a bestseller; it's brainless fun for bored people. :IS2:

Nothing wrong with that, i just wish their marketing department would quit trying to sell it as "the most realistic thing EVAR!!!1", nobody likes a liar..

That's exactly what the COD hate is about. That, and people being blind to the "better" games out there. COD is overrated, seriously!

here to kill your monster
yeah but you all know this so relax and play arma.


^^hmm, sorry to sound curt, but that's the way i see it.

remember if the game isn't necessarily aimed at ppl like us, neither is the advertising jargon.
So personally i take no notice of it or offense at it.

And I wouldn't say cod as a series is overrated - it does what it does very well indeed.

I think this has more promise than MW2, especially with the fact that Treyarch aren't touting Black Ops as a super-realistic game. I mean, the MW2 ending was just so stupid.

Spoiler!


And I love the thought of the Gun Game for CoD, let's hope we don't get too many campers about.

You guys are all gonna buy this game? You do realize you're just feeding "the machine" that many on here hate right?

It's gonna sell like crazy regardless of whether or not a few hundred people on here buy or don't buy it, but still, every less $ to Activision is a good thing in my book.

I buy something because I think It's gonna be fun, not because I don't want this or that company to get money.

From what I've seen they have improved on MW2, took out a few annoying things, added ded servers. Some new gamemodes that looks kinda fun. I'll prolly end up buying it.

It's just like a new DLC with some new maps. It still has all the guns firing huge tracers, that fly through enemy bodies with no hit effects, while the enemies play the same old MW1 death animation.
If they add zombies, I sure as hell hope the zombies don't just gain in health to the point where the average public rounds survived is 15.
Wouldn't suprise me if one or two of the weapons are as OP as the SCAR-H, and players would just buy it first and proceed to corner camp, or the dedicated servers not working properly.

Doesn't sound so good since I thought MW2 would be better than MW1, if IW learnt from their mistakes. Maybe Treyarch will learn from them, since WaW was a horrible MP40 hipfire campfest.

Activison may be a hateful cash eating monster, but I'm gonna get the game for the sole reason that it actually looks like a lot of fun.

Yeah, the CoD games are fun (aside from the P2P stress) but there's so many other reasons to hate it!

Most of the COD-bashers (like me) have played Cod. And I have all games, including MW2, despite not liking them so much.

You know what it's really like? more like the way I'm a hater of cod....

"RAAAAWWWWWWWR I HATE COD SO MUCH, THE COMPANIES MAKING THEM ARE ****TY GREEDY PEOPLE! RAAWWWR" *goes home and plays the latest cod game*

lol easy now.

at the this risk of stating the bleedin obvious - if millions of ppl feel they are getting a lot of entertainment for their hard earned cash with a CoD game, be it on Console or PC, good luck to them and activision.

Sure activsion's ceo is a pantomime villian and they now make so much cash they automatically fall into the evil bracket, but everyone's clued up on the product they supply- there's no surprises so no-one can feel they've been had.

I pretty much have been hoping this game is what MW2 should have been. It looks like they are actually trying to expand the game experience, including with game modes, rather than MW2's "attach hardcore before it" or simply adding in capture the flag. The thing that bothers me is how easy it looks to get killstreaks. If you had 10 kills in a row in MW, that was quite an accomplishment. In MW2, its not that hard because of the low player health. I was hoping they didn't keep the lower player health of MW2 but so far it looks that way...That and a balanced Lightweight perk. You wanna talk grief, just get a UMP, attach Marathon, Lightweight and Ninja Pro in MW2 and you got yourself a grievance. My friends will buy it though, will just try it at their house and see.

You guys are all gonna buy this game? You do realize you're just feeding "the machine" that many on here hate right?

Wasn't aware that I had to care about what people on this forum hate...

The only reason why I and friends maybe buy another CoD is: there is absolutely nothing to play together and release date of Heroes Of Stalingrad is so far away. I hope TWI announce beta of HoS soon and save us from buying CoD :IS2:
