Digg.com - Modern Warfare 2 boycott.

Booner! · 5 Nov 2009 at 11:04

I hate the fact that it will sell, despite all of the recent issues that have been announced last minute (after the hype!)..

~>Dg<~ · 5 Nov 2009 at 11:21

i actually like how some off the big sites who were behind the backlash have now changed there tune ching ching

at end of day it will still sell 14-15 million copies . whether we like it or not.

it is the start of the console nabs reign on gaming.

yes i know there have been ports and stuff but this is the big step to taking over our beloved pc gaming.

I've never had a game work in off-line mode yet, steam should just remove that myth/fallacy.

Only time i have ever had off-line mode not work was right at the start with hl2 when it came out, since then never had a problem with it.

WTF? That article doesn't mention anything about pre-orders for the PC specifically!

They will lose sales on the PC version, to think they won't is retarded. To think they care is also probably a little stupid.

They will definitely lose some sales on PC, even though many people threaten not to buy it and will still rush out and buy it.

For those that really know and care for their multiplayer quality, this game is broken.

Hopefully enough people don't buy it to convince IW either not to release the game for PC at all next time or go back to the old system.

I still do, about 2-3 good full servers still about.

Can't wait for the BAS mod for CoD WaW its a near replica of the BAS gametype!

WaW is where it's at!

Well the next one will be a Treyarch title, so hopefully they don't do what IW have done.

Bring on WaW2

I'm at work, I'll xfire you later.

Hamoodii · 5 Nov 2009 at 12:37

Completed WaW the other day and I honestly thought it was very bland. The WW2 setting is officially (for me) now very long in the tooth. I loved COD2 to bits and always preferred the WW2 setting but after WaW I just got bored of it.

I also didn't like WaW's mutliplayer, much prefer COD-COD2 for that.

What will WaW2 bring to the table that the past series hasn't done before?

kiteloopy · 5 Nov 2009 at 12:37

do you think the magazines will pick up from where we are? PC gamer and the like have powerful voices to spread the word (i think so anyway), so surly they can help.

even that yahtee guy from zero punctuation, he has a large following. if he mentions it then word will surly spread.

If they actually have a spine, then they'll only rate it like 30-40%, rather than like 90%.

Calico, dno if you remember him just told me signups are closed

Loads of teams signed up too

4p · 5 Nov 2009 at 12:39

Oh if you lot havnt played the original CoD and CoD UO singleplayers you should, they are off the scale for immersion. CoD2 was rubbish compared.

CoD4 SP was immense but didnt last very long at all.

CoD1 and UO SP are actually very hard and take quite a while to complete

Hopefully not, the fact it's called IW.NET makes me think it was IW's decision, i can't imagine IW spending ****loads of money developing it if it wasn't their idea. If it was Activisions surely they would have made it, so it could be used for WaW2 aswell, otherwise Treyarch will have to either pay IW to use it, or create their own, instead of spending nothing and using what's already available to them.
