$3 billion? That's insane. I'm flabbergasted. I think I just don't like shooters and will never understand the universal draw. (they all feel the same to me)

Actually, I think that half a billion dollars per game is pretty amazing going.

Good for Infinity Ward, but...

This just shows that most people don't care about things originality or artistic direction in games, it's a shame that more creative games will be lost in the shadow of generic war games like MW2.
Sure the genre of FPS is generic, but the Modern Warfare series is at least refreshing in the sea of WW2 FPS's.

And think! Bioshock 2 is coming Febuary! Pitch a tent a grab your Assault Rifle! You are one of the many waiting at the Bioshock 2 midnight launch! Including me!

Dear Escapist,

The fact that Call of Duty is successful is not news. I love you, but please please please stop pretending anyone cares. Everyone is firmly rooted in their camps, the people who are disappointed with mankind, and people who are addicted to an excellently produced but mundane-in-concept shooter.

Your eternal friend,
Crunchy
The fact that it is successful isn't news, but the fact that it made $3 billion is. Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does. If you don't give a shit then just don't comment.

Wow, well, Infinity Ward earned it, those are some fine games. Bobby, please, don't open your fat mouth in public, it makes others feel uncomfortable.

Oh man, I can't wait! I really think that it will be better than it's predecessor and the multiplayer looks terrific.

The only FPSs besides BioShock 2 that I'm looking foward to playing are Call of Juarrez: Bound in Blood and Singularity.

I think that even with all of the let downs for the PC community, MW2 will be the last good CoD game. It seems that they will probably turn into a money hungry demon and shit it all up.

Sooooo... looks like piracy is only a scapegoat when a game doesn't sell like a publisher thinks it should rather than considering it's something they did.

Money wise... Wooooooo!

IW should separate from Activision and become their own company.
And then IW can fund their own £200 million dollar advertisng campaign!
