I hope they sell it for at least $150, just to see what would happen.

People are fucking sheep. Online shooters/MMO's are complete wastes of time, and non-games as well.

So i guess this means...

No dedicated servers
No 64 (or 44) Player game
No barebones TDM for pc
No HC mode with FF off

Ill stick with W@W ty

Because?

Played Far Cry - the liberty there is an illusion and you have just as much in MW2. It doesn't matter how much empty space you have when it is merely that - empty space. Sure it makes the world look bigger but Far Cry is just as much on rails as CoD.

As for Operation Flashpoint, I agree, that's a very different kind of gameplay. If that's your cup of tea then well, go for it. I played it for a long time when it first came out, I doubt that I'd have the patience to do it again now.

That being said, some of the missions in MW2, especially Spec Ops leave you at a lot of liberty on how to approach etc.

edit: btw haven't played the other games on those two lists.

Running around seeing who can twitch-press M1 first hardly qualifies as a game.

Sitting around for 100's of hours at a time in a chat room with stats, whose sole purpose is to enable access to status items does not constitute a game either.

I hope EA does something with their former Infinity Ward employees soon-ish.

The new CoD games aren't really as bad as some people say. They are not "holy shit AMAZING" as many do proclaim but they are very enjoyable games. Multiplayer is addicting and Campaign is ok. They are intense, movie-like experiences. In my opinion they have interesting stories(with CoD:BO being the most for me) but sometimes they get their boring moments(and there is not too much replay value). If there is gunna be a new CoD then I am probably gunna buy it.
