Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[doomed]

How about they release an SDK so that we can make our own content? You know, just like the previous games in the series?

When you saying "Knowing Activision", do you mean you know them, or do you just mean they'll want to make money?

i honestly think we PC gmaers are gonan get charged too for this knowing activision.

I know, and that's what sucks. They're gonna get away with it and get even richer in the process. I was looking forward to this map pack but not at that price. Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna get it or not. I'm leaning towards not getting it right now, even though Crash and Overgrown are each better than any one map in MW2.

$15/1200 points? Go fuck yourselves, Activision. Honestly.

Why? People have proven themselves to be willing to pay.

Stimulus is five maps, three new, two old.

And that's interesting to know the people who delivered the almost flawless CoD4 left IW's dev team.

Grant Collier, Infinity Ward CEO. Just listen to the man speak, and read his interviews. Its impossible to not to have a mancrush on him, haha. Anyway, Activision got him a desk job after COD4, my theory is that he was directly against the "one game every year" policy which ended up with MW2 coming up with seemingly insufficient gameplay testing and X360 code and error messages all over the PC version.

A marketing stunt? Yeah, I think that might be a bit silly too, but let's say it was true. Are they successful at all?

Theres a 20-30% hit on MW2 player numbers on Steam, BC2 has already gone ahead of MW2 on xfire, so the impact is there. But we need DICE to come out with their statistics, and considering they run all multiplayer games through the Master Verification Server, they may provide accurate figures, directly comparable to MW2 Steam stats.

I have no sympathy for West or Zampella. They are the same kind of idiots as Kotick is. The person who delivered the excellence that is COD4 left IW some time ago. The interviews with these guys reveals just how much much of douches they are. Some of their responses are just staggering.

It is an interesting situation, nonetheless. Some claim that its all a marketing stunt to divert attention from BC2 release, but I find that silly.

Yeah, I've heard of them in their interviews.

My brother RENTED the game for the 360...

And my goodness. This game does not compare to Call of Duty 4 at all. Almost all of the maps are horribly designed, every other corner is some douche camping, they use shotguns from the 1800s and put it in the game (I think this is just stupid. Not really a reason the game is bad)...

I was utterly disappointed, and glad I didn't buy the game. Back to Team Fortress, CoD 4, and getting BioShock 2 over this.

Also, I haven't seen a more horrible community on XBL. Makes almost everyone in Halo 3 my best friend in comparison, and they weren't even that bad to begin with.

End rant.

An official announcement was made yesterday.

Oh, I didn't see it. Last I read both sides were quiet. Do you have a link?
