REALLY?

Not even a boss fight. A boss fight would entail figuring out a pattern of attacks while pumping ungodly amounts of bullets into it.

This, my friend, is a massive diarrhea shit on everyone who has loved the series before CoD4

Got back into COD modern warfare again. To get me in the mood for some MW2 and all that.

I'd completely forgotten I'm prestige four :s

So did Kotick replace the real Infinity Ward staff with evil robot doubles at some point between COD2 and COD4, or what?

Because I'm a dumbass, I deliberately spoiled the plot of MW2 for myself, and I feel like an idiot for doing so.

Shame because it's so epic, and it is pretty clear why the game has got an 18 rating now.

Since when has anyone cared about spoilers for a COD game? They have a couple of interesting moments, but the overall plot has never been all that interesting.

I'm going to play through the single player once (at least, depending on if I bother with trophy hunting), but it's the multiplayer that's the hook. 20+ days on CoD4 and I kick ass at it, so I'm expecting to enjoy MW2 muchly..

He just camps there. It's such crap. Even worse, the gun with a heart beat monitor is there, so he doesn't even have to try. Even worse than that, he unlocked a sentry gun after a 5 killstreak. I don't think he's actually shot his gun in the last few minutes, but he still gets kills.

It is such crap.

The truthful disgusting fact is so depressing. Multiplatform games sell almost 3x as much on 360 compared to PS3 versions..

I don't know why that is a disgusting fact but that there is only some truth to this statement, it all depends on the genre of the game. When it comes to shooters, yes the 360 is going to sell more copies but if you look at Japanese developed games like Devil May Cry, and jRPGS the PS3 version out sells the 360. It all depends on your user base and your market space.

MW2 sales on the Xbox 360 will make it look like only 3 people own a PS3. Expect the reverse to happen when FF13 comes out.

Kman - PS3 exclusives are great, but they sell very poorly.

Mr.Moose ( Havent called you that in a long time ) - Not just shooters. Cmon but even using shooters as an examply, CoD4 was about 1,3 million sales on 360 against the 400k on PS3 or so. and MW2 sales are about double that ATM. I think last time I saw it, it was over 1.9 million preorders on 360 and 500k on PS3.

Isnt another reason 360 beats the ps3 because it also came oout earlier with a cheaper price, and still cheaper.

I guess the cheaper it is, the more it sells. Wii.

Well Call of Duty 4 is a bad example. Americans tend to love shooters, the xbox 360 at that time I think had the biggest install base in the United States of any nex gen console or close to it, most people that like shooters owned a 360. Not to mention Xbox 360s were a lot cheaper than PS3s.

The PlayStation 3's user base was more diverse through out the regions, it had the smallest install base in the United States out of the nex gen consoles (still does), people who owned/own PS3s tend to differentiate their game interest more so than 360 owners (at least from what I have observed in sales). And of course, the price was higher.

I'm not saying the PS3 version of MW2 will come anywhere close to the 360's (which it wont). I have seen the VGC estimates on pre orders as well and that doesn't include the day 1 and week 1 purchases. But games like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 5, Tomb Raider, PES Soccer, Fifa, etc all sold better on the PS3 because the PS3 does better in the regions they were developed in and applies more to their user base. Games like Madden, CoD, Guitar Hero, etc will probably always sell better on the 360.

When it comes to exclusives, Microsoft knows how to market and sell. That's something Sony is just starting to learn with Kevin Butler.

You also have to take into account the fact that the 360 has, worldwide, about 9 million more units out there than the PS3. That automatically creates an advantage.

Last year.

Microsoft ads were on every ad break on terrestrial TV. Tried to pass off multiplats as exclusives. Only Sony ads were on Dave.

Now.

Microsoft ads aren't as common but still there. Since the PS3 slim, ads are more common on terrestrial but still not enough.

Wii and DS adverts EVERYWHERE GODDAMN GET OF MY SCREEN ANT AND DEC. WHAT DO YOU LIKE THE MOST ABOUT THE DSi? THE CAMERA. NO MENTION OF GAMES. HERE'S AN ADVERT FOR A COOKBOOK ON DS. WHERE ARE THE GAMES? DAMNIT NOW BEYONCE IS HERE.

Marketing does wonders.

You also have to think about online. Microsoft has a better (and wider) online service than the PS3. Gaming has become something social now, and many people will get a game on one system because they know that their non-gamer friends will get it for that system.

Sony has never been good at marketing until recently. They must have fired most of the retarded monkeys in the ad department.

I actually forgot a point. Achievements. Sony found out a lot of people were buying multiplatform games on the 360 simply because of achievements. While that may be a dumb reason and is a shame it was pretty true. Yay Trophies! ... =/

There was one advertisement I really liked prior to the KB ones.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/10/n ew-ps3-tv-ad-campaign/ Sony has always been good at montages even if they do recycle the same games over a few times in the same advertisement.

Looks like I havn't missed much. Zombie Apocolyspe is basically L4D but more mental and Tekken is awesome but the trophies are sooo easy. Also, went and bought the penthouse on Home, Patrick Bateman would literally kill for it.
