I lawl at the stupidity in this thread. Just because ya'll haters post all this shit isn't going to stop people from buying the game! We(the people that buy the game) will still enjoy it, play it, cry for it, etc. And the douchebags that don't, will keep wasting the rest of their lives complaining about it on the internet. Just face it for god's sake! No matter how unrealistic, recoilless, spawn crap the game might be, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people will still play it. So, quit bitching and do something better with your lives!

millions and millions doesn't stop it from being a shitty game. Cod 1,2,4 were great and it ended there.

Yet people will still play it and you will keep posting about it and we will be having a great time...and you won't.

I have a great time playing counterstrike even after 10 years. I played enough mw2 for my money but it got old after either dominating the games or playing against the endless hackers that they never took care of.

Then you shouldn't have played it on PC...what did you expect? Hacks have been around since the days of freaking windows 3.1. Every PC game suffers with hacks, while others manage the situation better...IW stated from the start that they weren't gonna give a fuck about MW2s PC version...

If you havent noticed, you're in the PC gaming forum. Your praise for MW2 is in the wrong place.

As true as that might be...you should have still read the pre-release content before buying the game...you're ignoring that fact that your hate towards MW2 is due to the fact that you failed to read the red flags given by companies such as IGN and GI before release.

Just because something sells a lot and is popular doesn't make it good at all. There's more than enough evidence for that. Guess you take your Call of Duty seriously.

No I knew. I knew that they we werent getting dedicated servers but Id figure they'd at least patch the game. However what I didnt know was how stupid the perk system had became since CoD4 and how they would handle the DLCs. I played more than enough to get my money's worth but it god old pretty much right after I maxed out my level. I also underestimated the community of players. Im not an elitist or anything but god everyone who plays the game is horrible. Me getting a nuke or ending top every single round got boring. I was former CAL-P in CS and when me and my friends from my old team would play, it would be a race to see who would get the nuke first.

Everyone can cite games and movies that have high metacritic scores that are extremely overrated. Like I said just because it's popular doesn't make it good.

I can see you're one of those Giant Trolls...Ok...hate on kid. Nothing is gonna stop your ignorance, and nothing is going to stop reviewers from giving the game high scores and nothing is going to stop people from buying the game(not you specially) You know deep inside, you want to play Black Ops...and you will, but you will never admit it, because then your troll kingdom would collapse. :whiste:

It's your fault you didn't know IW called BS on it from the start. You should have known when the PC reviews were 1.5-3 points off from the console side.

I've said it before, if you like it great but that doesn't mean it's good. I love lots of movies and games that no one else likes but I don't get all butthurt if someone else hates on them.

So what makes a game good then? If the critics like it, and lots of people like it, it still sucks because you don't like it?

This. It seems like the CoD franchise has become the video game industry's analogue to a blockbuster set of movies like Harry Potter or LotR.

Kind of sad since the poor quality of the CoD games takes away potential earnings from competitors with actual innovative games. I just can't believe these CoD games are selling millions of copies each year, and then they release a rehashed copy the next year and sell millions more. To top it off, they have the gall to charge $10 more than the standard MSRP for video games.

you do know that those movies were based off of books that had multiple books in the series that told an overarching story, right? It's not like they just made more because they sold well...

a better example would be something like Saw or Friday the 13th, or Halloween.

Let's not forget such wonderful things as:
2. Ridiculous accuracy problems -- my favorite gun in the game is the RPD, which I use to out-duel snipers regularly. You tell me how I can run around with an LMG and be more accurate than a guy with a semi-auto sniper rifle + scope. The m93 machine pistol is also deadly. How is it more accurate than an m16 or famas? God knows.

Because it's hard to hit a moving target, especially 1 shot at a time and when you have to reload in between. It's easier to hit someone laying down a spray of bullets.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad.
