Modern Warfare 2 Is GameStop's Most Preordered Game Ever

Funny that. Some quite ordinary shooter which is a sequel of another ordinary shooter bags the most preordered game ever, while innovating and original games barely sells. No wonder we get the same crap over and over again. Well, I am doing my part by not buying this.
Heh, who can blame them? From all the hype that's been circling around Modern Warfare 2, this game looks like it's going to be a strong contender for game of the year. And perhaps for an award greater than that.
Good thing I'm pre-ordering this come December. This game's going to fly off the shelves faster than the final Harry Potter book did.

Idk, MW2 seems like it's gonna be a pretty fantastic game. Maybe it's not "original" or "innovating" enough for your standards but I think it's pretty extra-ordinary game.Jaqen Hghar said:
I'm still not sure if I'm gonna get it, but every time I look at it I'm surprised with how much more they are adding on and what they have done.
This might have occured because gamestop is forcing people to preorder it. When I went in there to buy ODST they honestly asked me like 30 times before lI cracked and they got my 5 dollars or whatever it was, but I still felt kinda pushed into the pre-order.
Same here. We've got almost 500, and there's actually two game stores in my mall...plus I live in BFE. Both stores are having midnight launches, and we almost never have midnight launches, so there you go.nicole1207 said:
It's depressing - a game that's so bland and samey (another military shooter?) is a sales behemoth, while fresh and creative games like Brutal Legend won't get near the sales they deserve. I'm sure it's a pretty good game, but Modern Warfare 2 doesn't look very appealing to me at all. I just don't get why everyone is going crazy over it.
I can't help but wonder, does this game really have an ungodly and unreasonably huge amount of hype - or is it just being marketed that way?
Too right... god damned Kotick.Tenmar said:
If I get this game at all, it will be pre-owned, I don't want Activision seeing another dime of my money again.
For the record, this would be on PS3, so I'm not one of the PC gamers losing the server support.
I just lost alot of faith in humanity. The fact that this overpriced, average, and controversial FPS is getting more attention than any other game in history, (EVEN MORE THAN HALO) that sickens me. The worst is that Activision will just keep making sequels and charging more and more for them.
Really, I've had enough of FPS games. Isn't a thousand enough or a genre? Or is everyone just getting suckered into the hype? I say this because this game has no redeeming qualities to me. It's just another sequel, with things that every other game in history has done before. Feel free to correct me, but this game doesn't deserve the hype.
What does it have that's so great?
The ability to change classes mid battle? Battlefront did it first.
World War 2/World War 3/ New War setting? Look up 90% of other FPS games.
Best game of the year? Bull crap. Only a fanboy would say that.
Some form of innovative new chat/server scheme? Please. I've heard that before.
I'm being too harsh even though it isn't out? You could make this claim, but I'd like to see a counter from you that shows it's the best game ever.
I'm gonna laugh if this game has horrible glitching during online, or shows really bad plot development, or something else Activision will have to fix via online patches.

What do you mean "look forward to"? I already am paying more than that. As far as I can see, everyone else is just slowly catching upTenmar said:
