…. apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t think this is a big deal. the majority of people playing this are NOT taking it back because the online won’t work for 3 days…. MW is still being played religiously online, what is that, over a thousand days of playing, and millions of collective hours spent online? In a month, no, a week, people will have forgotten and will be absorbed just as they want to be in this game online. Activision is definitely taking some heat now, eating their words, but SEVEN MILLION people trying to access online on day ONE is bound to crash anyone’s server (cough woot). There’s no way in office simulations and preventive measures could have prepped them for that, that’s a huge figure. They definitely look foolish, but their long term results will prove nothing has changed, I guarantee it.

and the few people that are boycotting? 7 million on day one says it all.

in case you were wondering: i do not play FPS’s so i will not be getting the game, this is just an outside perspective

MW2 is a brilliant game, my only gripe is the blood on the screen needs to be toned down a bit like in Killzone, also graphics are not as good as they could have been. I guess thats what you get with a multiplatform game we have to put up with xbox graphics. I have had no problems with online at all.

Its been working just fine for me. I can’t believe people are so angry about this. Like they would’nt be able to correct the problem. Shit happens with technology it is never perfect. be patient fuck heads.

It didn’t fail. The servers were down for a bit, some people couldn’t get trophies, and the thing that shows what a friend is doing is a bit messed. I couldn’t play online for no more than 12 hours out of however long they keep the servers up. That really isn’t a failure if you ask me.

No why? The article talks about how the game failed on ps3. I was simply agreeing

@Sneeches

are you illiterate or what?

@theHater

Glad I bought this for xbox. I’ve been only playing online since I got it at midnight on Monday and have had no issues. Ps3 fails with 90% of their game launches and this is no exception. Sucks to all you that bought it for ps3 and are forced to play single player!!!!!

PS. If you think this game is mediocre, you’re on the hating activision bandwagon, or you just want it to be mediocre. If you like shooters this is a great game.

@C3PO
If you actually knew what was going on, you would know IW has absolutely nothing to do with the PS3 servers, Demonware, a company owned by activision is in charge of them, and they got that shit up and running WITHIN THE DAY, friday was them making sure they don’t promise it back too early since they didn’t know when it would be up(read where they don’t have anything to do with the servers)
And thanks EA? If you’re under the impression EA is the first company to want to make money you’re crazy. Remember, more can be done with the money they get. They aren’t just gonna keep all the money they make one year and not give anything back

Well i won’t say their reputation has nosedived but dropped a bit. They did revolutionize online after all with MW

Anyone else feel extremely underwhelmed by the graphics?

Sorry ass IW can’t do there freakin jobs “we’ll fix it by Friday ” What the heck is that all about?

Maybe they are too busy counting money to fix the problem. The new weapons are fun , but I feel like they stole the rest of there level design from a Rainbow Six game. IW are no longer a good dev in my book. They brag they were offered an unlimited budget but turned it down, Morons, that could’ve been money well spent on more servers preferably of the dedicated type. But nooooooo push out a mediocre product as fast as you can and rake in the money thanks EA.

@Lemmy78 – yes! exactly! WTF is that?! it doesn’t even look like blood! I can’t tell what the hell is going on! its sooooooooooooo ugly!

ahem…. regardless…. the thing that really hurts is that the campaign is only about 4-5 hours long, yet again. upon beating that, and being unable to go online, I am pretty tempted to return this. Especially when it really feels like a rehash of the same old thing. I mean sure, new story new levels “new weapons”… but really, can you tell theres new weapons? oh they modded the graphics and sped the bullets up a bit, woopty doo. It’s all very well done, but it just doesn’t hit me as “epic”, or “amazing”. It hits me as yea… been there… done that… can I get my money back?
