Modern Warfare 2 Re-Adopts Call of Duty Brand

Oh please, who didn't see this coming?
They want the next instalment to be the highest selling game ever made. They could get five million alone from the fact that it's call of duty. Taking that away means the die hards would still buy it, but other average gamers probably would give it a pass, not knowing if it's good or not, and not knowing it was a sequel to CoD 4.
It was inevitable.

Why would they waste money getting the brand when they don't need it? I guess even the tiny bit of consumer awareness drop is enough to gamble on getting the franchise name, it's not like they're not going to make boatloads of money anyway. At least it fits more when I call it Call of Duty Four Two now.
I don't care. So they took CoD part off, found that interest in it dropped. They then stapled it back on to make it so more people paid attention to it. Why is it I should be caring about the subtle changes in the name and box art instead of aspects like gameplay and story? I think people are getting a bit too worked up over nothing.
It was pretty obvious they'd have to put the CoD name on there somewhere just so people who don't constantly read gaming news sites would know it was connected to CoD4. Still, it was fun [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.104831?page=2#1673652] guessing how they'd do it...
I'm sort of disappointed. I thought it was hilarious when they'd thoroughly owned Treyarch by disassociating themselves with 'em entirely.
Wait wasn't the CoD:WaW ranking exactly the same, except longer?D_987 said:
And really, the weapons weren't OP at higher levels. Look at the Snipers for instance, since they are the only ones I can all remember. You get the most accurate sniper in the beginning, the fastest sniper in the beginning/middle ( which is in my opinion, the best), a sort of combo of the first two snipers at the middle/higher levels, and a powerful sniper at the last couple of levels, but it isn't very accurate and has a huge kickback. So from my perspective this seems really balanced. You get a good sniper in the begining, then a better one, especially if you play hardcore, then a third option, then a rather sucky sniper that you prefer to use anyways just because its so insanely sic when you headshot someone with it.
Finally, the whole point of prestige is just that: a little bit of recognition for how much time you've put into the game. Nothing more, nothing less.
I never said the WaW ranking system was ideal...?Jsnoopy said:
Not really, the problem with CoD is the lack of variety in the weapons, the only difference between the snipers were the firing rates. They were all to similar in my experience.
Something it shouldn't be, I'm claiming I don't like the prestige system, and you've just tried to tell me what its there for; I know why its there I'm expressing my contempt for it.
