Quick, someone call Homeland Security, the Axis of Evil is amassing in Union Square.
Well if there's one thing you can credit IW for, it's that they know their way around a PS3.
It's been awhile, but I think CoD4 was the same way. I know they had stated that each version was built from the ground up, no lazy porting.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... whoa... ... whoa...
...there was a Skate 2?
Heh, I had already planned on avoiding anything related to Activison before this PC stuff, particularly because of Bobby Kotick's numerous statements and the fact that they raised the console price of MW2 in Europe (even though I'm an American). All this mess with the PC version was just extra.
Everything they've been doing lately is damaging overall to us as gaming consumers. Unfortunately, millions of zombies are already lubed up and waiting with their pre-orders, and will al...
The really messed up thing about all of this is that they're still going to make the biggest mountain of money of the year, and probably get GOTY awards from the same kinds of mainstream people who gave it to GTAIV last year.
Sad day for gaming, especially PC gaming.
I'd sooner buy a used condom.
Seriously, just buy it new.
@1.7 - Yeah, pretty underhanded.

Yeah, Microsoft's got MW2 locked down hard. You see their commercial in the US yet? Flat out says: "The best way to play it is Xbox 360".
I agree with the browser bit. That thing is a real piece of crap. I only used it for downloading UT3 maps and mods cause it was easier than moving back and forth from PC to PS3 with my flash drive. They need to ditch that clunker and replace it with FireFox or Chrome. Hell, even IE would be a step up.
Also, I really hate it when people think something has a license to suck because it's free. If everyone was as sheepish and scared of rocking the boat as you, there wouldn't ha...
^ That's why I said removed as a perk.
It's $60 because Activison feels like it should be. There was also a price hike for the console version in Europe. They're basically just being complete and utter assholes, and know gamers will take it like the sheep they expect us to be.
If you've gotta have the game, buy it used, or pirate it. Though at this point, with 2.5 million sheeple already lubed up and waiting with their pre-orders, it hardly matters. They're still going to be handsomely rewarded with a mountain of ...
@1.2/1.3 - It's not $10 cheaper. Along with all the feature plucking, they raised the price to $60.
I saw one in the US last night, and at the end it flat out said "best played on the Xbox 360". It's getting the RE5 treatment. Only shown at Microsoft conferences, only advertised as a 360 game, special edition console.
I had been considering the MW2 360 Elite, since I'm currently without a "next gen" console (2 PS3's YLoD'd), but in all honesty it kinda turned me off to the 360 even more. The way they advertise is so damn underhanded and greasy. Plus the ...
Too bad they removed Martyrdom as a perk. I loved it just because so many people hated it. Calling people noobs cause you can't figure out how to run from live grenades. Priceless.
Until they get add-on support of FireFox-like proportions, I'm sticking with FF.
"I Would Pay $100 for Xbox LIVE"
Then you're a colossal sucker, and deserve to have your money taken in such a manner.
Heh, and they claimed both would be 60 FPS locked.
I don't really associate any console with Valve games, even though they've been supported on them over the years. Valve is PC.
Also, lol @ "Very high pre-order rate among members of the L4D2 Boycott Steam group".
That's why boycotts don't work, particularly in the gaming universe. Gamers are some of the most fickle consumers on the planet. Raging one day on the internet about game X, then pre-ordering the super secret double probation edition of game X t...
@1.20 - If by "knowledge and tactics" you mean "camping", then yes, it certainly does come into play in single-death games.
Heh, Metacritic marked this as a 100. Wonder what A+/A+ gets. 105?
