Why would they do this? They made a shit load off of CoD: MW2. It wouldn't be smart to cancel making another game. Given the cliff hanger at the end of MW2, I would be shocked if they didn't make a MW3...
 
LOL Look at all of you Infinity Ward haters...

Quit trying to paint MW2 like it's some sort of failure...as you guys sit here crying your eyes out millions of gamers are enjoying MW2's excellent multiplayer.

Am I some sort of MW fanboy? Nope, actually I really don't like Call of Duty at all. However, I can appreciate a good game when I see one.

We don't have to, IW already did that for us.
 
[citation][nom]AMW1011[/nom]People need to stop bitchong about MW2 for PC. "IW doesn't care for PC gamers and MW:2 is just a cheap xbox 360 port" Yeah that is why it is so well optimized for all sorts of PC hardware, yep just a port."IW hates PC gamers because they took out lean!" Oh I thought that was just to make the game more balanced and make camping harder, but WTF do I know."No dedicated servers means IW hates PC gamers!" Well I've been playing MW2 on the PC and, lo and behold, with my crappy 3mb/s internet I've only been in one match that truly lagged... But no IW is just out to get us, its not that they don't have anyone paying for the servers like Sony and Microsoft for PSN and Xbox live... Seriously stop bitching about FREE multiplayer."IT COSTS 59.99 NOT 49.99, HOW DARE YOU IW?!" OMG, $10 more! Your right IW hates PC gamers and didn't even make the "crappy port" to the PC, it was the gnomes! But seriously, IW IS owned by Activision, so of course they upped the price a bit for a game that was sure to sell very well.Now if you want to start bitching about how unbalanced the knife is and how the kill streaks are a bit too strong then that is perfectly acceptable and justifiable.[/citation]


normaly i would make a post about why your an idiot. but im late to work so ill just say your a damn idiot.
 
Let me tell you something. Most people that pirate games were not going to buy them anyway. Its all speculation and rumor about how much piracy actually costs companys. In IW's case I HIGHLY doubt that they "lost" anything on the release of this game on PC let alone anywhere near 245 million dollars that you suggest.

If you have half a brain at all its just as easy to pirate a game for a console system as a PC. Once your done modding, sometimes its easier. ; )
 
Didnt Activision hire a 3rd, unnamed software house for some sort of project? What if they removed IW from the MW franchise and made them work on the MW MMO because of the MW2 rebelion and then the new guys can work on MW3 and do it properly this time... just a thought.
 
Actually, if Activision really want to shake up the COD franchise I propose COD : Prehistoric Warfare.

Just imagine, Slingshots, Arrows, Flint knives/axes/swords, meleing someone with a boulder, calling in a T-Rex after getting 7 kills, the possibilities are endless!
 
IW have blown their reputation for PC games quite a bit - be it greed or be it lazyness i dont care either way - Im not getting any of their products unless they prove themselves instead of making poor console ports.

The consoles have pushed back the PC gaming 10 years - P2P multiplayer LMAO, poor controls, no ability to run mods - the list goes on!
 
[citation][nom]Rab1d-BDGR[/nom]But Modern warfare three is already under development!Check out the videos:http://www.theonion.com/content/vi [...] rn_warfare/Troll[/citation]
This can't be real! Can it?
 
MW 2 for the PC owns! Ya it really pisses me off about the whole no servers thing, but the game it self is awesome!
 
last thing we need is another worthless mmo... especially from a company that apparently has no regard for the pc community... "mmo for console" good luck. I think I'll pass if it turns out to be an mmo.
 
[citation][nom]doc70[/nom]after the big flop that was MW2 for PC I think this would be a little better.But again, there could always get worse, too, a success like MW1 did not forecast the failure of MW2. I will take any predictions with a grain of salt.I am talking PC gamers here; console fans can draw their own conclusions...[/citation]
The PC version was far from a flop. Apparently no dedicated servers still made the game sell better then any other game that year.
 
Nothing interests me less than MMOs. I really can't fathom why anyone would pay to play a game each month AND pay for expansion packs AND extra items AND services like transferring your character. Then again, I can't fathom why anyone would spend hundreds of dollars and throw their life away on heroine or crack or anything.
 
They're not even fun games. They're just tedious level grinds. Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer is bad enough as it is. The worthless prestige mode that seems almost like a cruel joke. I imagine their version of an MMO would basically be the same thing only it will cost $15 a month to play.

Anyways, it's not worth analyzing a shady rumor from a single anonymous source about a project that probably hasn't even begun development yet.
 
[citation][nom]montezuma[/nom]Fox News is far more reliable than the other shit news organizations(MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.).[/citation]
Wow... I really hope you're joking, but I doubt you are. I can't even imagine how stupid and easily manipulated someone must be to like Fox News and find it reliable. It's sad I'd even have to explain it. It's basically a 24/7 propaganda channel for Republicans. So I'll assume you're a Republican sheep who believes everything they tell you to believe.

This just gave me an idea. I think the world needs a completely new method of measuring intelligence, because while some people may seem intelligent in the traditional sense in that they can put together sentences and express thoughts with words, there are many who are obviously lacking in common sense and other qualities that make a person a free-thinking human being who can process information and use critical thinking and come up with proper conclusions.

Situations like these just make me believe I must be immeasurably smart. To be fair, I'd probably use my powers for evil though, and most stupid people could very well be good, nice people.
 
[citation][nom]AMW1011[/nom]Yeah that is right just mark down my post, you can't argue with it but you can mark it down.Grow up kiddies.[/citation]
We are going to continue to keep on bitching about it. The features that they took out are the ones that make PC gaming have an edge over consoles.
 
[citation][nom]njkid3[/nom]everyone calls MW2 on the PC a flop and thats just not true. It was the most pirated game of the year. I call that success[/citation]
I have to pretty much repeat what idisarmu already stated...torrent downloading isn't a sign of anything except that the person downloading the game didn't want or care to support the developer. I have downloaded games only to play them a little bit and if I liked what I saw I bought the game. If the game's crap, then as far as I am concerned I just beat them to it by not letting them rip me off like in the good old pre-torrent days when I bought games left and right and felt violated when the game turned out to be shit and they had my money and I had nothing in return. At least now I have the upper hand.
 
its poos ,the most over hyped billion dollar bungil of the century,they may have made money this round,but the future is bleak for iw in pc and this is a growing medium for people that demand the best in gaming,as even the ceo of ea has said pc and portable devices like cellphones are the future of gaming-activision should wake up and smell the money there losing ,i for one wont be buying any of there crap in the future-hacks
