more wow @ these statistics, quoted from some site (closed link, steups)

Activision today decided to bombard us with yet more Modern Warfare 2 statistics in an attempt to grow their already humongous e-peen. The publisher today boasted that Modern Warfare 2 made the publisher $550 million in its first 5 days and according to Beelzebub Bobby Kotick, it was the "largest entertainment launch in history and a pop culture phenomenon." Its rivals in terms of sales figures from other various mediums are as follows:

* The largest reported five-day opening worldwide box office gross figures, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million)
* The largest reported five-day opening domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($203.8 million)
* The largest reported five-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (6 million units, $500 million)
* The largest reported opening first-day domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($66.4 million)
* The largest reported first-day book sales in dollars, held by Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows ($220 million)
* The largest reported first-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (3.6 million units, $310 million)

Modern Warfare 2's blast radius also extended to Xbox Live, in which the blockbuster title's epic release established the following new standards, according to Microsoft:

* More than 5.2 million multiplayer hours were logged playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day alone.
* More than 2.2 million unique gamers played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in one day on November 10th. A new one-day record for Xbox LIVE.
* More than 11 million achievements were unlocked on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day.

Every time I read these, I am in amazement.

How do they do it????? Really.

...because the majority of gamers are sheep, and will pretty much willingly bend over and take a reaming for 'fun',
even if it means that their own pockets are getting hurt in the long run?

Could that be the reason?  :laughing7:

You're missing my point...which is to say that you won't run out and buy something, without considering it for what its worth,
especially when you have something just like it, working great, albeit just a little older.

Case in point: Modern Warfail2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Super Street Fighter 4.
Three games I CHOOSE not to get caught up in just for 'fun', and well, because I'm not a sheep.  :)

before we get all self righteous arc....let us not forget that the developer has been spurned by flagrant piracy for almost a decade running.

We are reaping what we've sown. Not the other way around.

Had it been under an altruistic setting. PC gamers buying CoD all the years through, with very little piracy on the PC platform and then activision just decides to spit on us with a poor console port, I'd say you're clearly in the right.

However, that is not the case here. They have "suffered" from PC piracy for far too long. The buck stopped here. Yet the game is still awesome by all accounts (not a rubbish port). So what exactly are we up in arms about again?

If you maintain your course, then by all means do so without losing sight of the huge, pink, smelly, pirate elephant shitting in the corner of the room. lol

For wouldbe picket fencers....here is a pretty decent article (imo) on how best to go about it:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/11/how-pc-gamers-can-be-heard-hint-not-by-threats-of-piracy.ars

I see crixx and arc have already adopted the posture discussed on that page.

There is a link to a Penny Arcade article in there which I found hilarious....

Quote
http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/10/26/

"Some of the rage is channeled semi-constructively into (not a boycott, per se, but) a redirection of funds from Modern Warfare 2 over to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - a notion that has been cannily seized by the would-be recipient.  Bad Company 2 is going to be pretty good, so why not buy it - but let's pause for a moment and really absorb the idea that PC gamers are rallying around a DICE console port in their zeal. Nevermind the fact that you can't host your own Bad Company servers, and that having a dedicated server for the game involves renting it from one of their partners. Maybe they didn't read the FAQ?"


"It is not a mischaracterization to say that conversations with the hardcore PC community about software theft follow these tenets:

- There is no piracy.
- To the extent that piracy exists, which it doesn't, it's your fault.
- If you try to protect your game, we'll steal it as a matter of principle.

It's like, who wouldn't want to bend over backward in their service? You need to know it, because nobody else is going to tell you: you guys sound like Goddamned subway vagrants. Of course when you speak exclusively to each other, it all sounds so reasonable. It'll be reasonable when you all board the bus, and the songs you sing en route to excoriate your enemies will be forceful, but within reason; and when you douse yourself with gasoline and immolate yourself in front of the offices of Infinity Ward, one assumes this will be reasonable also."

2 weeks since the release an I have still not touched that game an the only way you can get my hands on it is IF or WHEN they come to their senses if not R.I.P Infinity Ward's Call of Duty.

well from my experience..and to be fair... yes that does happen...
Its happened twice of all the games I played on ps3 so far (I think i do 300games so far) so it isn't a common problem if thats what you guys think.

Arcman is that the PC version or Console version?

PC Gamer UK: Activision Declines PC Review

An extract from the PC Gamer UK Magazine:

    “Wheres Warfare?”

    “The publishers of Modern Warfare 2, Activision, didn’t allow us to review their game before this issue went to press. Given our lead time this means we wont have a review of what could have been the biggest game of the year in print until 6 weeks after release. Its frustrating for us, particularly given the controversy surrounding the game’s multi-player modes and PC infrastructure.

    To produce a review thats as timely as possible, we’ll be posting our verdict on-line on http://www.pcgamer.co.uk as soon as we can. We completely understand that you will want to know how good the game is before buying it. We might not be the first. But we will be fair”

To me the issue is simple, no matter if the game is "da shit" or "da best game of the year" if it doesnt have a decent online experience it wont be bought.
This is just my philosophy, since MW2 doesnt have server support which means no squad server, no scrims, no matches I just cant condone it, personally I didnt even like COD4 just bought it because everyone else on my squad had done it to continue gamin competitively, didnt even play the single player until over a year later, didnt even finish it.

Oh and also I have MW2 right now and if it had what the points mentioned above I would have bought it.

wink* wink* nudge* nudge*

Battlefield 2 until Battlefield Bad Company 2.
Unlike COD MW2 I am actually excited for this title.

Yeah I noticed that as well from talking with people. Don't really find any game has perfect matchmaking, so that isn't too bad at all.

All the fail I post belongs to the PC version.  Everything seems to be fine and dandy with the console versions.


...but take a gander at THIS though.

For SHAME, IW...  :shakehead:

yes it happened a couple of times with me as well. Seems to happen when pple the host drops out mid map and iwnet doesnt know how to add people back after migration.  As Berzerk said, it makes for an interesting match. I was in a gmae where 6 of us were against 1 man and we STILL loose lol. Fun times.
