Xboxic: Modern Warfare 2 Avatar Items

Xboxic report: Here is a first look at one of the Xbox 360 Avatar outfits from Modern Warfare 2. It is currently not yet known how many other items will be available on the marketplace - but this Ghost Outfit is sure to be an Avatar hit.

CommonCent6045d ago

I hope they add some items that are not full body costumes.

Blaze9296044d ago

I don't see why they cant just add this in avatar awards....but noooo they want to charge for it. I knew nothing good would come from this avatar marketplace. When was the last time the free avatar clothing was updated? Go head, just TRY to find out. But see how often the paid store is updated.

*sigh*

THESWAT6044d ago

you cant even unlock avatar even if you buy and play MW2? thats pretty cheap of microsoft to do that. but they do look awesome i would pay for it if they are not expensive.

Kushan6044d ago

There IS such a thing as "avatar awards" which are free and 'splosion man was patched with some so I'd take this article with a grain of salt.

toaster6044d ago

Yet another useless thing that the genius' at MS, Activision, and IW release to get even more moeny out of gamers.

Buying fake clothes for your fake avatar with real money.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Xbox. It's just something I wish MS never came out with. Pointless unless you're 12 and have friend issues.

HDgamer6044d ago

It happens with PSN and Home. Fake clothes, fake homes, real money.

Apocwhen6044d ago

LBP too. And soon to be 'premium avatars' for PSN. Dead money.

BO WALEED6044d ago

no mw2 items for that lonely HOME avatar on PS3 ??

well, does anyone use HOME now? :P

TheTeam066044d ago

Yes. And they actually have the option to use it whenever they want, instead of having their avatar standing in the console's main menu.... just staring...

chrisulloa6044d ago

Yeah it's like 2nd life for losers.

TheTeam066044d ago (Edited 6044d ago )

If you look at it that way, that's not my problem. Personally for me, losers are the ones who praise "exclusive" clothing for awkward adolescent Miis when Home characters have been getting free and sponsered clothing for months.

They also sell jerseys in Home for cancer support, where every dollar goes to funding for those who deal with cancer. Those silly losers.......

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G1018d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood1018d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G1018d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade1017d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty1018d ago (Edited 1018d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality1017d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator1016d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G1017d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy851018d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai1018d ago (Edited 1018d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G1018d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo1018d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg1018d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast1017d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
