well thats your opinion and btw it only takes 1 day to hit max level. so much for grinding it simply used the leveling system as a reason to keep playing. and they hiked up the price because they realised it was a goldmine perhaps? thats not just because thats just a good buisness sense. if you see something you have selling that people want in high demand you hike up the price thats how it works... thats how you make money. thats boycotting someone for being a prosperious companyCrazzee said:

im sorry? just buy the us version as long as you speak english i dont think theres a large difference(as long as you buy pc you wont have to connect to american servers).
Yes because making money is the only admirable desire in this world. That's exactly why medication costs in the US have doubled in the last 10 years. They realized that people will come to them regardless and started stripping people of even more money.Chrissyluky said:
Except in the case of this game they are only hurting retards who don't understand how capitalism is supposed to work (I wonder who I'm talking about here).

That is how it is supposed to work and that is how you are supposed to make money. Fucking people in the ass just because you can is not what you are supposed to do. It is in fact the reason there are so many laws against monopolies and various other shady practices. The problem is that people get pounded in the ass so often they get loose and figure its supposed to be like that.
No and chances are I won't buy it until it hits £20 because I as much as I love Activision for making Guitar Hero games
It doesn't give them the right to be cocks and I won't encourage them

Or you could do the sure thing and release it for the average price, and sell more copies. Hiking up the price might make them more money at once, but less people are going to buy copies. I think it would be better for the company to sell ~6 million copies at 50-60 bucks a pop than it would be for them to sell ~2 million copies at $90. Assuming those numbers are correct:Chrissyluky said:
2,000,000*$90=$180,000,000
6,000,000*$60=$360,000,000
They'd be making more profit in that fashion.
Also, being able to grind to max level in one day doesn't make it any less of a grind.
Well then I'll have to wait for a very long time, no matter.Chrissyluky said:
I will buy it, just not right now.Chrissyluky said:
The price? Don't get me wrong, I can afford to pay for it, I just refuse to.Chrissyluky said:
I haven't gotten to any level, nor have I tried any of the game modes. For some retarded reason my modem won't connect to my PS3 (the only console I own COD4 for) and I can't go online.Chrissyluky said:
Alright, here's someone that's obviously trying to hate Call of Duty 4. Just because it's cool to hate popular things doesn't make CoD4 a bad game.Crazzee said:
The campaign was generic? I don't seem to see multiple changes in environment and high-action modern warfare generic. Add to that the fact that you can shoot through walls (a feature every FPS game should have) and a story that's heaps better than most FPS (that's not saying much), and you have absolutely no right to call the game generic.
The multiplayer can't really be called a grindfest, as there's more than just Deathmatch mode. Customizable classes, perks, and incentive to unlock new weapons through leveling up make it about the freshest multiplayer experience since Perfect Dark.
If you don't like FPS games, just say so.
I think regional codes would make that a little difficult to do.Chrissyluky said:seems the uk got ripped offstabnex said:
The formula they used is tried and true. I don't hate it because it's popular, I hate it because it isn't fun, and it didn't interest me. You have no right to say that my opinion is null and void because they had a few new features. Sure, shooting through walls is nice, but that doesn't make it any less of a copy-paste shooter that is mostly about hyperpatriotic American soldiers running around with an ego the size of the whole damned country. The SAS parts were rather interesting, but the whole "enemy spawnpoints are here, the enemies will stop spawning when you pass this place" thing really ruined a lot of firefights. I would have preferred shooting one at a time, and slipping through the shadows, killing them off one at a time, then moving on to the next objective. That seems more like something the SAS would do anyway.Whistler777 said:Alright, here's someone that's obviously trying to hate Call of Duty 4.

The story itself wasn't generic, but it wasn't all that interesting, either. The point of having a story is to pull you in, not to connect one firefight in one city to another firefight in another city. It certainly helps when it does that, but you're supposed to care about characters or at the very LEAST about what you're doing in the story.
The multiplayer was all about grind. In every game mode, it boiled down to "Get kills, complete objectives, level up, get new weapons."
Admittedly, the game was rather good on a single playthrough, and for a few hours of multiplayer fun, but it all just fell apart shortly afterward. Everything in the game feels very samey, and pretty much everything from it has been done before, from mowing down terrorists as Americans to stealthing around and stabbing people in the butt(probably not as the SAS, but the gameplay's been done.)
I do NOT hate FPSes, I hate that all of them feel like exactly the same game these days. There's no hook, nothing to really pull you in and keep you interested in newer games.
But I'm sorry, I'm entitled to my opinion, and you can't say that I have no right to think that a game is pretty generic and not fun.
Nope. I never pre-order anything, but I'm probably going to get it for Christmas. If I hear that it sucks, I'll just get L4D2 instead.
I'll probably get it. I'm in the States, so it's a normal price.
Also, not to nitpick, but I believe the game is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 now, but I'm not positive.
