Modern Warfare 3 tops $1 billion in 16 days

if you hate cod dont reply to this thread seems a bit pointless dont you think

I hate COD because there are no tactics invovled and no team work...it is all about "I" and the game is designed that way. Also the COD community treats other gamers like crap and if you are not on top of the leaderboards you are worthless as a gamer. If you take the K/D Ratio stat out of the game the COD will die because COD centers all around this stat. Very sad, but true!

Battlefield fans always spend more time in Call of Duty pages, while Call of Duty and Skyrim fans just play their games and are enjoying. Haters hate. Thumbs down losers.

Next is 15$ DLC X 4

and i still wont buy it, lmao!

the game sells big. then the haters get mad even to they say they hate cod the moment they saw a cod news or anything they click immediately and comment bad about it.why still have interest in it even though u hate it?isnt it natural to stay away from something u hate and yet they keep on reading every cod news WHY? because its not hate anymore its jealousy they want their favorite game to be number they want their opinion to be number 1 thats a narcissist.and gamespot have many cod haters.GO narcissist push your ideals!!!LOLS

@warhawk-geeby my dear, the PS3 version is unplayable for so many of us, calling skyrim perfection is a big joke

Your tears won't drown Call of Duty.

Brain dead fans win!...give 'em anything and they will consume it like a piranha

where the proof??

@mishfish "I don't want to live on this planet anymore." Time to move then.

This just proofs how f***ed up the gaming community is.

@Corrupted_Wolf : I see where you're coming from but keep in mind that the record is which title reached the $1billion mark faster..not how many units have been sold or the overall income.Avatar could still have made more profit in the end.But this is what I am saying...this is like saying it is a major ''in your face'' to pass the sales records of Gone with the Wind when Gone with the wind charged 25cents a ticket (at that time) and the current movie charges $10.Do you really consider it an accomplishment or even legit to say an at least $60 game (not mentioning the $180 copies so many purchased) reached a pricepoint faster than a $10 ticket? You could buy Avatar tickets for a whole family for the same price of one CoD game.If CoD was really selling as well as Avatar is should have sold at least 6X's faster than Avatar.But to say you have only beaten a title in 1 day when you had a 6X's advantage? That actually sounds pretty disgraceful to me...

funny thing is.. they made a bunch of cash last time too with Black ops.. that didnt change the graphics engine tho..WTF is activision doing with this money? At least we can visualy see where Dices cash goes..

Indeed money can buy a lot of things and false news is one of them. I read it on Yahoo also

The graphics seem a little muddy to me in this one. I noticed that MW2 was crisper looking than COD4, but I was disappointed with the lack of improvement this time around. I know they are using the same game engine, but they could have at least added some better graphics options for PC. At least they improved the sound a little bit. Treyarch did a terrible job with sound on both COD5 and Black Ops. Infinity Ward although a new group of people didn't do a terrible job, but the game wasn't very engaging. It seems like the enemies have an inordinate amount of health this time, most noticeably in Spec Ops/Survival. I just hope that now that Activision has more money than GOD, they use some of it to hire some people to create a new game engine, or at least explore using something more modern.

Am I the only one that sees this as bad news? The future looks grim.

There are two types of complainers about MW3: those who say the game doesnt change enough, and those who say it changes too much. Only one of these actually cares about the game.

Disgusting.

@jhonMalcovich more like 30 million campers in the game.............

What possibly got them a lot money in the PC sector was because the game didn't need a godly computer to play in-fact if you could play Black Ops you could play MW3 but at a lower graphics setting. Meanwhile BF3 you maybe had to upgrade the computer just to play it (and a higher-end graphics cards don't come cheap these days) so if the people wanted to have a 2011 game with out spending about 12K in Computer Parts they probably pick MW3 as there FPS pick

The sails figures of MW3 should be taken by UNESCO ... for counting the noob population. To date, there are 30 millions noobs on the planet.

If it aint broke don't fix it!

@slonekb05 then don't buy MW3?

@evaneself possibly, but there is some new game mods that were added so possible what happened was the Hard Core CoD players probable told there buddies that there were some new game mods and that they should try it so they do and then if they like it then they buy it and if they don't they just forget about it.

How people can´t support this lazy work with their hard earned money ? Ohhh. I forgot ... who buy this game doesn´t make money on their own... their parents buy it to them.

so many stupids with money

WTF how can this happen the game has an ancient engine , average graphics for a shooter and reppetitive gameplay and yet wins this ... ridiculous

Lmao. The comments section is going to be filled with soo much nerd rage. Meanwhile COD is making a billion dollars in just over 2 weeks, and your favorite game sits in the darkness! haha

Making 1 billion of sails and still refusing to develop at least a new engine ? Wow. It is so lame.

@cstv bug-thes-da? What the hell. Texture issues on the 360? It's hardly a flaw in the gameplay itself. I've got it for the PS3 and the only 'bug' I found was my own fault. I climbed up a rock and couldn't get back down :P Skyrim is perfection.

@tatsundere Got to disagree. I'm a hater of the game, not because it isn't great, but because they churn out the same thing every year with little to no changes. The games are good as a one off, for example to new buyers. But for fans of the series it's getting a little stale. The review on this website even said it's same old same old. Predictable. That's the reason we hate the game buddy, we never said the game itself was crap.

1 Billion ? Wow. Stratosferic number. Glad that so many people are liking this game. I think i will buy it to see if thats all that good.

the sales are the proof mw3 is a great game. the haters of this game is mostly narcissist

1 billion in 16 days for a god damn copy and paste crap from 2007 and stalker2 with GSC game world are more than half dead stalker is a uniqe game and people are letting it die and buying this s#@t? the costs of the noob video we saw for mw3 alone would probably saved GSC from what i see from todays genration of gamers and players the future dont look promising

Now... I hope they use (some of) the money to start other franchises.

How about everybody that's complaining about mw3 selling to much go comment on the new alan wake article and make it popular like you guys made cod popular. (we see copy&paste users posting the same comment on every COD article making complete fools out of their selves again)

If the next game, breaks another sales record, i'm giving up on humanity.

Haters, Start Your Engines. LOL!!! Great game, can't wait to see what they will release next.

well, looks like the only game that can beat COD is another COD, I am no COD fan but at least they don't release a broken game like some over hyped developer...cough * bug-thes-da* cough....

@ Superiorness Call of Duty is not a polished series. Modern Warfare 1 was, admittedly, a great game. However Modern Warfare 2 was just the same with added MP features (features that broke the MP more than anything else). Black Ops was a failure, a boring SP campaign and MP not really changing still. Same goes for Modern Warfare 3 now. It's good entertainment but lies on the same level as the Transformer movies. They're summer blockbusters but that's it. My personnal hate towards this game is that it offers nothing spectacular, a new one is released every year with the same re-used recipe but the price tag is still 60$. It's basically paying full price for a DLC. Granted CoD isn't the only franchise guilty of that, but it doesn't excuse them, especially when they use primitive technology (I'm talking about Quake 3 tech. That old.). That's why I don't like the CoD games after the first Modern Warfare and that I'll never understand how they can sell so much.

@superiorness I agree. There is a lot of hate on this site... but given those numbers I feel like a lot of the "haters" play themselves... Its popular because its a fun game, enjoy it!

Same s... different day. I love that they actually had that phrase in MW2 :P

Can somebody explain to me the hate that Call of Duty attracts? It's been the most polished and accessible shooter franchise since the launch of the generation. Sure, the sequels don't offer massive changes like the jump from Oblivion to Skyrim, but instead offer technical improvements and new maps/guns/modes/campaign etc. Its just more of a good thing. The reason that there is a new release every year is because there is a DEMAND for it and they're SUPPLYING it.

Congratulations, you but this game just enough times to get you about 300 sequels, prepare for massive copy-paster CoD.

Played the SP and Spec Ops. Haven't touched MP since I got BF3 on Black Friday. Thinking of trading it towards Mass Effect 3 while its still worth anything.

StingrayX5 : sadly i was one of them this game is nothing but a single player the MP is very bad , BF3 is the best FPS MP i ever seen

the reason why people are buying more of the same COD is becos of the story. Its engrossing with sequences which are suspenseful and dramatic. The fact that MW2 ended as a cliffhanger helped too.

Good thing I pirated this. Beat the campaign in 2 1/2 hours.

oh god you still cryings!!
