In regards to the civilian scene... I'm usually the anal-retentive conservative type a-hole that complains about controversy, but in this case I don't see the big deal.

Someone made the point that the difference between it and say GTA games, is that in GTA while you have the option to kill mass civilians, you aren't forced to per the parameters of the misson/game.

That is relevant, yet are we surprised that game developers continue to push this envelope?

But all the victims are white, so that makes it 'ok' right?

Show me that scene with them gunning down muslims or africans and then I'll let out a low-key whistle and say 'woah.'

This bullshit over the damn airport scene is getting ridiculous. Are people really that afraid to realize thats whats really going on in their real world that they have to bash a video game for portraying that? Utterly ridiculous honestly. The only reason its getting so much media attention is because the game IS that popular. If this was say, Spongebobs pc game nobody would give a shit.

Spongebob has a extremely negative impact on the development of children's minds. Cartoons nowadays are not as good as they were back in the 80s/90s, except a few but that's about it. Spongebob= Brainrot.

After playing the airport scene i feel like getting a gun and trying it for real........Not.Its a game ffs why the big furore over it,there's been much worse stuff in other games.If it offends you then dont play it,simples.

Its just a shame they cheap assed out and fubard the mp section but oh well,big corps like to make money,not spend it.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 did not fail to live up to the expectations as one of the most eagerly anticipated videogames releases of all time. Initial first day UK sales – November 10 – reveal that Modern Warfare 2 sold an estimated 1.23 million units, grossing around £47 million, nearly doubling the previous record held by Grand Theft Auto IV which sold an estimated 631,000 units, grossing £27.2 million on its first day of release (April 29, 2008).

Michael Rawlinson, Director General, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), said, “These first day sales figures are astonishing and clear evidence that videogames are now mainstream in the UK. Our form of interactive entertainment has completely come of age. Just like some movies and books, this is specifically intended for an adult audience and accordingly has emotional, adult content.

“So, as an 18-rated videogame, it is important that this game is not played by children, and parents should be appropriately vigilant. We ask everyone to make sure they check the packaging of games to ensure they are suitable for their players, especially as we enter the festive season when videogames are one of the most popular gifts of the holiday.”

Beginning with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s worldwide release on Nov. 10, fans can arm themselves with Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console, which features an exclusive design inspired by the epic thriller, more storage space than ever before in a 250GB Hard Drive, two Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers, as well as an Xbox 360 Headset and a Standard Edition copy of “Modern Warfare 2” for an estimated retail price of $399.99 (USD).

Michael Jackson's pee pee shoots rainbows.

Would you be so negative about that 1 mission if Modern Warfare 2 had been everything you hoped it to be? I think not

I think you have no idea what I am angry about. It took you three pages to understand what I said in my first post.

 

[PP Mguire]

Hes angry cause Jacksons pee pee shoots care bear...um...skittles.

Hookey nothing will change his mind, let him go. I understand his point about the industry in general(heck I have watched my beloved Tom Clancy games be COMPLETELY destroyed by "consolitus") I even broke down and bought GR:AW2 for my PS3:shadedshu I DON'T like playing FPS's on my console...

MW2 is great game despite it's MP shortcomings(tho in my brief MP experience I had no issues with it)but I see "the masses" points on it.
Besides we all know who is to blame for all this...

SHEPERD!!!

 

[Easy Rhino]

personally, i wont buy mw2 because it is 60 bucks and they dicked over the PC community. i am a PC gamer and i own a PS3 for the bluray mostly. i am ALWAYS looking for discounts and great deals. in fact, rarely should you ever pay MSRP for anything. this isnt easy for bleeding edge tech geeks to hear, but we tend to waste a ton of cash on what is new. the price drops 10% in 2 weeks. buy it then! steam is always having sales on games. i bought the l4d2 4 pack which saved me 17 bucks! also, find a solid seller on tpu. there is so much awesome stuff for sale at 30-50% off and it is in like new condition. i know i am ranting, but people complain about how expensive this stuff is. it doesn't have to be, just exercise a little self control and do a little research.

 

[PP Mguire]

I try to explain the "used on TPU" portion to people and they dont wanna hear it (unless they are part of the community of course). Hell i just got an 800 dollar phase unit for the trading of 2 280s worth around 300 bucks. Deal or no deal? DEAL!

Same goes for games. People sell them for pocket change here.

LOL! Yep, but he got what he deservered

 

[KingPing]

You can like the MP or not, i dont, i wonder if its that hard to make the game with matchmaking and dedicated servers, and let the user choose whatever he likes. the lean option its not there, why???. In my ps3 i have 6 users profile, i buy a game and the 6 users can play it, now i bought MW2 for pc and guess what THERE IS NO USER PROFILE, so if my brother wants to play the game he has to buy his own license. So in ps3 the game for my brother and i cost 60 but in pc it would cost me 120 and that without the expansions!!!. So i bought the game and two days later i finished it, gone are my 60 bucks.

As i said in the begining, you can like the MP or not, but in pc there are a lot of F**** up things. thanks Infinity Ward, now i know this is not a port, since a least in the consoles you can create your own profile.

 

[WiCz]

They don't want people to have dedicated servers because they want you all to pay a subscription to get similiar ( although much more limited ) services direct from them...

 

[Polaris573]

I know. I want to snap up dragon age twice as much as I did before just because it's so superior on PC versus the consoles (I'm that big of a PC fanboy). It's still $50, but that somehow doesn't seem quite as bad as the $60 for COD. Plus I'm sure it will drop in price faster.

Fair and balanced my butt. These people have no idea what they're talking about.

I'm wondering the same thing on ID Software's side . . . if that rumor turns out to be true.

<sigh>

Nothing will irritate PC gamers more than being treated like consolers. But, it's sad, it shows where the devs think the market is, and we're just an afterthought.

Big reason why I'm so willing to support the few game devs who've yet to cave to the wills of the console market . . . ID/Raven Software (although they're spewing blasphemy right now), CryTek (although, this will probable change with CryEngine 3), GSC (poised to change if the rumors of STALKER 2 are correct) . . .

<sigh>

 

[WiCz]

Agreed, that's why Tripwire Interactive will always have my full support. Woe betide them if they try anything like this of course

 

[newconroer]

I know you lot don't want to hear this, but if you really like combat shooters, why on Earth are you pussy-footing around with these 'perk' games, when you could be playing something like ARMA II?

Is it really that difficult for you? Because I can't see any other reason why you'd let your heart bleed out on the floor when there's a great game already out there.

Anyways, that's the only 'solution' I can think of.

Meanwhile, MW2 SP was ok, but Lord have they ever heard of stamina or tactics? Why is it that every COD turns out to be a blitzkrieg? I guess their idea of stealth is a suppressor..woo!

+1 on that

 

[WiCz]

I've been playing Red Orchestra and it's mods for the last 6 years or so, with the odd diversion on Killing Floor. I don't intend to stop either, at least not until they realease RO:Heroes of Stalingrad

All these other so called 'realistic' shooters and their turbo-hopping rambo nonsense leave me cold I'm afraid

 

[PP Mguire]

Simple, some people dont like boring shooters. I just finished this game. Had me on my toes the whole time even when i kept dieing in certain places
