My mind has changed completely about this game. It was great for the 1st month but it just seemed to get very bad after that. It just doesn't have that lasting appeal that kept me playing the 1st Modern Warfare for 3 years. :/
I have a feeling we won't see Party_Foul till late next week
Well well well looks like people do miss me
Seriously though this game is THE SHIT!!!! Best campaign and the multiplayer is like Jesus.
If God touched a video game it would be Modern Warfare 2
I don't see the problem with playing a terrorist in a video game - especially if it's only a starting mission to show how things happen on the other side of the story.
Basically it's no different from having a chapter in a book be from a villain's point of view.
Seriously? Wait until the game is out and you've played it. It seems to me they've added quite a few things to make sure people are more evenly matched. I'm mainly talking about death streaks here.
What do you know! Someone who doesn't judge the game before they haven't even played it! Looks like me and you would be good friends
Footage from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare2 leaked onto the Internet yesterday, and if you thought the lack of dedicated PC servers were the big controversy in regards to this game, you're in for a huge surprise. The leaked gameplay footage reveals that you'll be able to play part of the game as a terrorist. Update: The footage has been pulled from CNN's iReport site as well. Heavy spoilers ahead, obviously. The footage has since been pulled from YouTube, but part of it is still up on CNN's iReport site. In the level (reportedly the beginning of the game), the player is with a group of men who murder innocent civilians in an airport. The level seems to consist primarily of capping innocent people, including the clearly injured who are trying in vain to hobble away as you shoot them in the back. This is where CNN's video ends. Based on other internet reports, after the airport killing spree, the group then exit to the tarmac where they pass a pile of dead bodies, and shoot some cops. Eventually, the main terrorist, Makarov, murders the player with a shot to the head. It's strong stuff.
When asked if the footage would be in the game, Activision released a statement to the press, saying:
?Yes it is. The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player?s mission to stop them.
?Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two ?checkpoints? where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can?t be disabled.
?Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic game play that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older.?
I predict an uproar from certain members of the excitable media. I predict semi-accurate headlines will proclaim: "New Game Has Players Take The Role of Terrorists!" while ignoring the fact that this is, essentially, a cut-scene where you control a character, and the scene itself doesn't glamorize terrorism: After all, you are betrayed by your own leader, who is so evil, he shoots his own men.
We don't really know the context of the level either: Perhaps the player is infiltrating the terrorist group and has to participate or blow his cover. Maybe the main character is under the influence of mind-altering drugs. Maybe it's a dream sequence. But no matter what utility it might serve in Modern Warfare 2's plot, it's a disturbing thing to watch; I can't imagine how disturbing it would be to play. While I'm all for artistic freedom in games, even I gotta shake my head a little at how far this goes.
Although Modern Warfare 2 is scheduled for a November 10th release, You have to wonder whether this particular level will end up in the finished game. I give it a 50/50 shot, honestly, depending upon the intensity of the controversy surrounding this leaked footage.
Personally I don't think it is a very big deal, I mean, in games like GTA IV you can mow people down and if Fallout 3 you can blow up a WHOLE FRIGGIN TOWN and it never sparked this much controversy, Hell even MSNBC did a report on it. Personally, its not gonna stop me from buying the game, as a matter of fact I will probably play this mission and not give 2 shits about it because its a freakin game. Can't wait till 11.10.09
Yeah, someone getting it is just someone not giving a crap. Matchmaking completely suck Freedom out of the window.
Exactly how does matchmaking do this? You can party up with your friends and still play with them, vote on maps, search for a certain gametype, etc.

There is nothing wrong with matchmaking by itself, what is wrong is throwing dedicated servers out of the windows.
Infinity Ward did this because of all of the hackers and pirates, you guys only have yourselves to blame. Plus it will cut down on lag.

Why the fuck they can't do both?
See above.
Quote from "SFJake" »
Because the makers are morons, is really my only answer.
Or because they don't want their game illegally downloaded by hundreds of thousands of people. But hey what do I know?

Even on console, having something closer to dedicated server would be good. In Halo 3, it was requested a lot, a "server list" at least and all that, but nooo, just throw matchmaking and everything is fine, right?
Exactly what is so bad about dedicated servers anyway? I personally enjoy matchmaking, less lag, less time consuming.

But you guys don't care, so you guys probably deserve to slowly lose everything you never had.
lolumad?

You'll still buy things no matter how obvious they are just trying to abuse their customers. So yeah, just keep it, you'll get what you're asking for.
I've never see so many people whining over something so stupid.
Oh no, you're going to have a matchmaking system! Woe is the computer gaming world.
Wow for once someone gets it. we should be friends
Seriously though, I don't see the big deal. I played PC for two years and I liked servers, I also like matchmaking, either way this game WILL RAPE.
I have been looking forward to this since CoD:4. The graphics look sooooo kick ass.
It will definitely ease that wait for D3
edit: I need to save some money and pre order this NOW!!!!

Not true. Clan matches can be held in private match and IW has already explained that there will be minimal lag.
Mods are pointless and dumb anyway.
Ya everyone else has to do it so get over it.
Oh well, that way you kiddie can have your stupid 18v18 on shipment
Once again everyone else has to play $59.99
SPOILER ALERT!!!!

I will buy the game, and I will love it.
