Well... does anyone else see "MW2" and think first of Mechwarrior 2? I still have to remind myself that it probably isn't.

No, i never have, i barely hear anything about it and when i do its always in context of Mech Warrior, not in a Call Of Duty thread.
Ga-wha?
The only thing I see is the bloody stupid nomenclature of MewTwo.
Fookin' tripe game is unworthy of being named after such a glorious badass.
Now if I could play as Mewtwo in it, I would purchase a PS3 just for that honour.

Oh, and my brother just pointed out that both games were published by Activision... how about that?

I don't read any Modern Warfare 2 threads because I have about as much interest in the game as I do in getting stabbed in the face with bananas. I apologize if this is old news to you (not a sarcastic apology, in case the text might seem that way)imahobbit4062 said:
Yeah, it was one of the first PC games I liked. It's exactly this kind of thing that pisses me off with all these little acronyms gamers have been using of late (myself not exempt, but it's hard not to pick up on it).
ZP can stand for Zero Punctuation, or it can stand for Zombie Panic, which both my girlfriend and I play. It's kind of a ***** to know what someone else is talking about at times.

Me too! I didn't even have my own PC at the time, I had to use a friend's, and you can bet he was annoyed by how much time I was spending on it. As for the acronyms... I guess there are only so many you can use... you just have to rely on context sometimes.Nova5 said:
Well, maybe we'll get some discussion done here, who knows? I am disheartened by the number of people who seem unfamiliar with Mechwarrior 2... in part because it suggests a lot of people on this forum are younger than I thought, but mostly because it's a great game.imahobbit4062 said:
I have to mentally shift gears each and every time I see that abbreviation because it obviously stands for Mechwarrior 2.
I think the first time I saw the CoD acronym I legitimately thought somebody was talking about the fish, it took me a while until I puzzled that one out.

Suprisingly, it's arguably less complicated than the much older Mechwarrior 2. But all of the Mechwarrior games were great fun for me. They just have a certain feel to them that isn't really matched by any similar games.imahobbit4062 said:
Exactly! I often have to think "Wait, they're talking about Mechwarrior 2!? Oh... wait, no."Gildan Bladeborn said:

I still have to remind myself that EMI is a record label and that people are not talking about Escape from Monkey Island like me and my friends referred to it when I was a kid...

I'm awful with acronym's anyway so I always have to pause a second to put it in context and figure out what everyone's talking about. Just so I don't embarrass myself like I have on many, many previous occasions.
