Quoting myself on the last page because I guess nobody saw it, even though half the posts on here are asking for it:

Pretty impressive for a game thats only been out for a short while, but I saw a video a couple weeks ago and the total play time for wow (for all of you asking) is roughly 6 million years. Gameplay defiantly adds up

And the video if anyone cares: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html

Hey, Earthworm Jim. I haven't seen him since I was 6 years old. :D
I didn't either until a couple of months ago. I'm trying to complete it, which I never did as a kid. It's hard as fuck.

No, one of those people that put fixed when quoting in a pathetic attempt at wit.

The game isn't awful, its vanilla - and that's the reason its so popular. Same as WoW.
Next time I'll type out a full clone of your text with the correction then, if it makes you happy.

They only thing that i find absurd is how people are saying that if everybody had been spending this time doing something else the world would be a better place. This is just XBox live, anyone who made that statement please think about the type of people you run into on LIVE. The vast majority are ASSHOLES, myself included given the right circumstances. "NOOB, FAG, puss ...,....,...," just half the stuff you will here in a 5min game of online play, and you want those people walking around on the street, or better you think they will be productive. I've spent 10 days of my time on that game. I'm not saying that they will act the same way online, but i'm sure you would see more crime if they didn't have something to keep them from going out and doing something stupid or worse, getting injured because they ran into someone not willing to put up with their mouth.

So more years have been soaked into MW2 than years of known history... Another reason I have lost faith in humanity...

It's really sad that all that money went to assholes who are just milking their fanbase without any love for the loyal and idiotic, if I may add, gamers. Paying for maps? Why not release the map editor and let us make our own, FREE, maps. All that money to a developer that doesn't deserve it... Sigh. Well they did make CoD 1, 2 and 4 so I suppose they deserve it a little. But MW2 multiplayer is an abomination. Can't believe people can't see through that
people like it.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's unlikeable.

The last Harry Potter book sold 44 million copies, with the US copies at 750 pages each. If we assume each book sold was read twice (this accounts for rereads, sharing, resale, libraries, etc. and is probably low) at an average speed of 100 pages per hour (probably too fast, considering demographics), we find that people have "wasted" at least 60,000 years total reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Dang kids, should have spent time doing something useful, like practicing no-scopes and getting off my lawn! Yeah, you kids with your new-fangled 2-billion hour killstreaks, get off my lawn! Inmydaywespentallourtimedoingusefulthingsneverentertainingourselves

Whoops, sorry, kicked into rant mode. My point is that any form of entertainment probably has way too much time spent on it in any case, and MoW 2 just have a very good way to measure the total amount of time wasted on it.

That's really strange because last i checked, Mew II was the worst game in existence. It is exactly the same as Mew (or most CODs) in terms of combat, and the story is shorter than a mole hair. i guess i understand since it is a shooter.

shooter + Russians + terrorists = best game ever made for Americans [:

I wonder how that compares to other popular games, like quake, counter strike, TF2, WoW and (I can't believe I am saying this) Farmville.
It's funny to see counterstrike:source still appearing on the steam top sellers list every other day. Even more funny how many people still play it daily not to mention that the original is still bought and played religiously. This will mark the tenth year its out right?

While those numbers are quite high, I'd like to point out that the collective time spent playing MW2, likely a fair portion of that is kids/teenagers who got their hands on the game despite its rating, the ones that have way too much time on their hands to play MW2, and jack the stats up.

I have actually contributed to this, I bought the DLC on day one and I haven't looked back.
But these numbers do make me a bit uneasy about how long I play this..

Before anyone asks,

Barret .50 Cal
.44 Magnum

Marathon Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Commando Pro
RPD Silenced/Heartbeat
Striker Silencer/Grip

Bling Pro
Coldblooded Pro
Ninja Pro

OT:

Well, umm...that's a lot.
2 prime examples of nubcakes :) and i think i am going to be sick at that considering its a pretty crappy game (and im first prestige rank 61 with a 1.16 ratio including the amount of times i say fuck it and jump off the cliff on afghanistan)
