Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Breaks GameStop Pre-Order Record
by Chris Faylor, Nov 03, 2009 8:26am PSTPre-orders for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are "the highest for any title we've ever sold in our 6,200 store network," retailer GameStop has informed USA Today.
The impending blockbuster--Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has sold over 13 million units, Call of Duty: World at War has now exceeded 11 million--has caused several other games to be delayed, including Call of Duty publisher Activision's own Singularity, as companies attempt to avoid going head-to-head with one of the year's biggest titles.
Infinity Ward's anticipated (and controversial) shooter sequel hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in exactly one week, on Tuesday, November 10. Various retailers are hosting midnight events to commemorate the release, including GameStop and Walmart.

Right, here is a question for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 fans and FPS in general.
What do you think about the following, just answer Yes or No to the idea and if you love the idea say PIMP.

For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 what if it where revamped in the following ways:
- Loot system like Wow, drops of AI mobs and players like in WAR for pvp. Raid bosses that spawn in pvp areas. In single player game you collection loot of mobs and weapon caches. In pvp there there are capture point and specific turrets that a mid bosses etc that all drop loot and grant experience.
- Class system, when you make you character you choose heavy gunner, rifle man, sniper, medic, engineer, covert ops, vehicle master, etc.
- each class has a tree with skills you unlock, and talents.
- you gain lvls, xp, and get loot like weapons, armor, etc

I really can't understand the bitching - Its business.
Its like can no one understand that IW are there to make money - They just don't make these games out of love and little kittens and cup cakes - Its a business !
Its a change and an understandable one considering the ripped copies that come available - Not a great one if your stuck on the PC but an understandable one.

The day is almost here. Hostilities are set to commence shortly and to poor trash talking teens of Xbox Live will soon feel the full fury of the Shack Rape Squad. This is your team captain, DrCube, reminding all you 360 players that an Xbox Live gamertag has been created to coordinate the Xbox Live Modern Warfare 2 Shack Rape Squad. The friends list on this account will make it easier to find other shackers when it comes to mutliplayer matches or the Special Forces coop mode. The current player count stands at 60+ so there's still room for more gamertags. Post a reply or shackmessage me to get an invite.

Dr. Alco already has a Steam group set up for the remaining few of you that still intend to buy the PC version.
My copy isn't slated to arrive until the 16th-23rd and since that's very close to Thanksgiving I may not get my hands on the game until December. In my absence kodiak is second in command. Good luck and good hunting, gentleman. I'll look for you on the field.

Add to that the fact that there are less hardcore modes which given the absense of dedicated servers means I can't play HC DOM (my preferred mode). They don't even have HC HQ and made a statement that they removed playlists so they could add third person playlists without having too many lists (which might confuse people...SIGH).
I'm still going to pay attention to what is said after release to see if the new system is acceptable (it would be foolish IMHO to preorder, since I like CoD for its multiplayer and the technical aspects/capabilities of the new system (IW.net) are an unknown quanitity).
I was really looking forward to this game all year...and now everytime I see a news story for it; I'm sad.

Too bad they botched/ruined the PC version. :(

If PC gamers buy this game and sales are good then IW is vindicated and other PC devs may drop dedicated servers in favor for of a system that gives the devs control over their product.
If PC gamers dont buy the game but pirate the crap out of it, the IW can say see this is why we did what we did.
If PC sales are down and console sales are through the roof, then devs with profit on their mind know where to go.
MMO's withstanding, PC gamers have helped create this situation in which devs are looking for ways to control their content.
I dont agree with it, but I understand it. Shame.
