its not call of duty.just modern warfare 2. they dropped call of duty. and if i have the money im getting it the night it comes out,staying up all night beating the campaign,then pwning some noobs online.😀
 
Its still technically a Call of Duty game, even if it's a spin-off per sé; backed up from the obvious continuation from CoD4, the fact it's the same developer/publisher, and the fact that there will not be another CoD-related game for this year.
I still don't understand exactly why they messed around with the name; but I guess Call of Duty: NAMEINYOURFACE is a bit annoying to throw around...Call of Duty 1 to 3 were alright, but when they added the suffixes it sort of became a joke. The only thing I can think of is it'd be a terrible name to try and say... 'Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2"... (but then again, World at War was officially marketed as "Call of Duty", not "Call of Duty 5"...hmmm)...
 
I think Infinity Ward is taking their idea of CoD in a different direction with MW2, trying to establish it on it's own merit. So far it's worked. CoD4 is one of the most popular games out there, and the WWII shooter is getting old.
 
^I was thinking the same thing but I didn't want to get eat alive by the COD zombies.

I'm hoping for a slower paced game like a mix between GRAW - Killzone 2. I'm sure I'll pick it up but I'm hoping its not more of the same wave after wave of enemies.

For the love of all things sane please get rid of the assist aim bull.



Bless
 
What's so epic about Kill kill kill, checkpoint, repeat... 🙂

I think it they added a little less of the Quake aspect and more Hitman then COD would be more impressive. Although I really do like the games there's the repetitive aspect which does get a little boring after a while...
 
I take it you guys will be playing this game on easy. 😛

And I second the elimination of aim-assist. An analog stick is a huge step above a keyboard. 🙂
 
Looks amazing. Maybe this time it will play more like counterstrike and less like quake (multiplayer). Can't wait, this will run great on my (soon to be ordered) imac 3.06 😀
 
Call of Duty 2>>>Call of Duty4: Modern Warfare>>>Call of Duty: World at War>>>>>Call of Duty 3



Lets hope that the second Modern Warfare is better than the first Modern Warfare.
 
COD 4. HELP~~~
I'm stuck behind the ferris wheel and can't get out! I'm getting KILLED before the extraction helicopter arrives.

HELP!!!!!
 
MW2 should be fun. I'm looking forward to it, although after playing more CoDWaW, I'm liking the MP on that better. It's less close action w/ pray n spray. Semi-auto guns, medium/large maps are fun for me. I dunno, going back into CoD4 I just get nade fested all day every day in MP, watching kill cams, they just chuck their 3xnades and small areas, = owned
 
Roll on MW2!! They better include british guns like the SA80 etc. Hopefully the graphics will be improved. I should think so by now.
