CODMW2 and L4D2

[MiracleOfSound]

Do you think that L4d2 will be overshadowed by Modern Warfare? It seems that if only 7 days after MW comes out, people may forget Left 4 Dead. I was wondering if it's likely I'll have to preorder L4D2 or not.

A full solar eclipse would be overshadowed by MW2.

No. Left 4 Dead will proably win the Computer gamers (After MW2 pretty much killed any hopes with them) and I got a good feeling a large portion of the console gamers will also buy it on release day.

I highly doubt it. Both have gotten plenty of publicity and both games have their own crowds waiting for them. Besides that, PC gamers will be all over L4D2, what with MW2 not supporting dedicated servers.

Maybe a little bit. If I amplified the amount that I care about the November releases until I wanted both games and only had enough money to buy one of them (possibly because I would've at that point purchased an ungodly amount of copies of assassin's creed 2) I would definitely go with MW2.

Nope.

MW2 will be an MTv style release, thousands of screaming idiots gushing about it, then having righteous fury over every little thing in it clearly intended to cause offence/discomfort.
Meanwhile the smart ones will be quietly and smugly buying many, many copies of L4D2 and having a grand old time. In six months MW2 will be forgotten except for the avid fans and screaming teens, it'll have sold millions, but so do Xfactor winners and you still forget them.

Besides, we'll probably be playing L4D2 and getting updates 2 years from now, MW2 will be largely dead and buried by then (when was the last MW update that gave new content?).

At least, that's my prediction...

really gushing idiots that's extremely unfair, they both look like good fun, but type casting MW2=idiots and lfd2=smart is sad, grow up.

As for which one to buy if you have a good PC get lfd2 first, and if you are more console oriented grab MW2. You should be able to have great time no matter which you choose.
