Am I the only one not excited for...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I hear people already praising it and it's not even released yet. I feel that I'm the only person who doesn't want this game. Are there any others out there?

I'm in the same boat as you my friend. It's pretty hard to get excited for it when there's a truckload of other great games coming this year.

Yeah. We've got Bioshock 2, Assassin's Creed II, Dragon Age: Origins, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Wolfenstien, Section 8, DiRT 2, Alpha Protocol, Splinter Cell Conviction, Left 4 Dead 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat, and Max Payne 3. All coming this year. And next year is already looking fantastic as well.

I watched the trailer. Then I watched a few more times, wondering what the hell this was. The trailer is cheesy. And you have your opinions on Far Cry 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, but it seems that you are the kind of gamer who can't go five seconds without shooting a guy.

He can't go five minutes without shooting a guy? You're the one who gave RE5 9.5 Charlie. biggest_loser

1) Wow. You actually now what scores I gave?

2)Personally, if it says Halo on it, I think it's going be ****. No Halo has ever been good and no Halo ever will be good.

pvtdonut54

Why'd you say ick?

Hell no, you are not alone, COD games have always represented to me everything that is wrong with gaming today, huge hype, marketing, for what is the same game every year for 60 bucks, very linear (Nothing wrong with linearity, but these games take it to the extreme), dumb enemies with obvious trigger points and endless spawn after spawn physics, etc,.. COD is quickly becomign the SIMS of shooters. MW2 will be identical to MW1 the same way every other COD game has played identical with no improvement made nor any attempt to do something different. There is a fine line between scripted events and not being able to do anything else and over script every thing in a game.

WAY better games around that are much more original, UNFORTUNATELY, we live in an era of big hype and most games are casual in nature to sell more copies. Games today are a walk in the park with the exception of a few PC games and oldies. I could care less if i ever play another COD game, nothing we have not seen many times before. Now, I will prob get flamed like i slept with someones mom, that's OK, just proves the truth hurts.

Phoenix534

I'm in the same boat as you. My problem with the Call Of Duty series is that I can't ever be sure what I'm going to get.

Back in 2002 Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault was being called one of the best shooters ever, little over a year latter the first Call Of Duty was released. In every way Call Of Duty triumphem over MOHAA. The graphics were amazing, the action was out of this world, the level design complemeted the action perfectly. It's probably my favorite FPS ever! THe next CoD to follow was the expansion, which to me delivered more of the same in the single player camaign but it took the multiplayer to a new level by adding movable MG's and vehicles that actually worked well with the game.

Infinity Ward's CoD: 2 had the same game mechanics from CoD it just had new graphics. That pissed me off because I paid $50 for a game that more or less was an expansion, which generally half the price of the normal game.

Call of Duty 2 was followed up by Spark Unlimited's Call of Duty: Finest Hour. The nicest thing I can say about Finest Hour is that it's a pile of sh*t that didn't deserve the Call of Duty name.

Trayarch's Call of Duty: Big Red One gets the same comment as Finest Hour.

Call of Duty 3 is a direct descendant of the first Call of Duty, unlike the random knock offs like Finest Hour and Big Red One, because of this Call of Duty 3 in my opinion turned out to be the biggest disappointment and the worst game in the franchise. I really don't understand how it got an 8.8 from GameSpot (GS). It almost seems like the developer paid GS to give their game a good score... but that could never happen... Right Jeff Gerstman? .....Jeff...Are you there?

Just when all hope was lost Call of Duty 4 came out. Needless to say most people would agree CoD4 turned out to be an amazing game. It's probably going to end up being my favorite shooter game for this "gen".

I'm not sure what's causing the buzz for CoD: MW2. The graphics look almost exactly the same, the game mechanics are exactly the same, and lastly wtf is this?

I agree completely with this gentleman. I always found that Call of Duty 1 and UO's true sucessor was Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare and with Modern Warfare 2 upon us...the change is barely visible, if at all...why people get hyped so easily for virtually the same game is beyond me.
