Well I guess I won't be buying MW2 in this black friday. I was upset because I couldn't find a deal for MW2 anywhere. I'll just buy L4D2 at Gamestop for 30 doallars and that should be it. :)

I have COD4 for PS3 and PC, in the PS3 the resolution is awful, in some places you cant even see whats there, while the same scene in PC is way way better, not important in SP but in MP there were a lot of times in the PS3 when someone killed me and it only was like 30 meters in front of me, one of the things thats killed the game in PS3, Oh that and F***** LAG, so i bought the PC version. There are lots of people saying graphics are only a bit better in PC, but in PC you also have something called "native resolution".

About CODMW2 its not bad, for $40, not $60!!!. The SP is way too short, the next COD is going to be 30 minutes long and it would be SO intense that no body will care(thats the argument IW used to defend CODMW2 SP, that it was more intense than COD4:rolleyes:), the plot is more or less a modified COD4 with some scenes more. They spoiled most of the game with the trailers. For me the SP is like those action films that you see one time, its kinda fun, and then you forget all about it.
The MP, i dont like matchmaking, thats the main reason i stoped playing it in PS3, so if you like dedicated servers a lot, then avoid CODMW2.

Its more about personal preferences, if you dont play MP, are you willing to pay $60 now for SP?. If you only play MP, then there are going to be a lot of people who say matchmaking is the best go and buy it, and a lot more saying dedicated servers are the best dont buy it. I already know how machmaking works and i wont buy it since i ALWAYS, not sometimes, ALWAYS had one bar of nice red LAG:mad:. with dedicated servers I can choose where i play.:rockout:

CODMW2 is not bad, its just that they spend more time marketing the game than actually making the game.

No PC game is worth 60 bucks unless it comes with collector item type stuff. I dont' think any digital download is worth over 40 bucks.

Yes, if you like exciting FPS campaigns and a fun to play, but not a competitive or tactical multi-player then it's worth it.

I find that statement contradicts itself. No offense, but isn't that a clear sign of a mediocre at best product?

maybe yes. I only said that because the game engine is the same as COD4 only a bit better, the SP last 6 hours, and the MP is the same as consoles, so to me it may be mediocre, but the fact is that they keep selling games, whether they are mediocre or not, all because of the marketing:shadedshu. I think nowadays publicity is more important for game studios than doing the game.

That's not bad at all. Yeah, the game could of been better if it had some features that PC gamers usually want, but all in all it's a very good game anyways.
