tell that to reggie fils aimé!!

"super mario and luigi will outsell xbox360 version of MW2."

let's see. We have a

1)Wal-Mart type generic shooter

2) appeals to the Wal-Mart like, group-think mob

3) which garners favorable reviews from the Wal-Mart type "money-in-my-hand reviewers"

4) which further emboldens the excitable Wal-Mart type group to leave work early and tell other easily "excitables" about said shooter,

5) thereby completing the beautiful circle of "dumbed-downess" and group think sales results.

Kotick is a genius from 35,000 feet.

I was at the midnight launch and the Gamestop by me had over 600 preorders with at least 300 people standing in line. The game released today and some were still lining up to get MW 2.

Sales will certainly be through the roof!

The only thing that saddens me is to think about all those people who would rather find reasons to hate this game while they are missing out on all this fun... J/K F**K THEM, they don't know what they're missing...Hahahahahahaha!!!

COD is the sport shooter. It will come out with a new game every year just like Madden

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

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.

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

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.

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