The xbox version would be better if i didnt have to mute everyone at the begining of each map.(other then the people im partied with)

No word on PC pricing, I'm guessing.

Heh.

This game made me break a controller.....but i will happily fork out a fiver for more spec ops. maybe 4 playyer coop? Heres hoping

Where's the hardcore free for all????

Timed exclusivity is a cancerous tumor on this industry. A cancerous tumor that Microshaft seem to feed with cash at every opportunity.

I agree with Mr Hibbert - MW2 got real boring real quickly. I've not even prestiged this one and I can't bring myself to play it anymore, did get to about rank 60, but just got sick of running around shooting people in the back, over and over, and over and over.

Could be something to do with the MAG and Bad Company 2 beta's I'm playing. I've been spoiled and MW2 just doesn't cut it anymore. So far my FPS chart is...

1 - MAG
2 - BC2
3 - MW2

It's a close one for MAG and BC2, think the only reaosn I'm playing more MAG is the SUPER SLOW personal progression on BC2. But they both completely take the piss out of MW2, like hands down.

BC2 looks as good if not better than MW2, and plays better too boot.

MAG doesn't look as hot, but plays way better, plus, there's nothing like 128 players all assaulting an oil refinery from all sides, with each squad having their own objectives (specially if you've set the obj) Nothing like it.

MW2 - the best LOOKING FPS out there, got a good quick progression to keep you playing, and has got a superb single player campaign.

However I believe we are the generation of FUNCTION over FORM - Gameplay is far more important than graphics. And when your super shiney, really pretty game plays just like the last edition, the PvP is going to get boring real quick, something a lot of us are finding out.

Were this DLC due soon for xbox and Ps3, I may have got it, just to extend the game a little, but as i've got to wait for this bullshit exclusivity deal to expire, I'll just fucking trade it in and get MAG in Jan.

Your loss Activision, hopefully many more gamers hold the same sentiments, that "unfair competition generation" / "virtual advantage" deal must have been $W33T!!

@Sexualchocolate
It was justified, don't worry.
Modern Warfare 2 has some serious competition coming up to the point that if they want players to keep logging on, they need to stop with the bullshit they're pulling, especially with BC2 and MAG coming out soon.

@timtheterrible, no i did not, i refuse to support such bullshit techniques.

However, I think 1 piece of exclusive DLC on a B title (not talking quality, talking lack of online, instant B in my book) is a pretty small answer to buying up timed exclusive DLC (TIMED is another important factor, essentially tricking everyone who is not reading forums/blogs into thinking it's proper exclusive) for every fucking Mass market, mass appeal, AAA game that hits!!

What was it, did i read correctly, $50mil? for GTA's TIMED exclusivity?!?! Ever wonder where your LIVE fees go???!?!?

I mean the fucking DJ on the radio a while back was talking about "the new GTA" and how it was "only on Xbox 360" and "is it even coming to Ps3?"

A - It's not a New GTA, it's a collection of the expansions already available.
B - It's a Timed exclusive that will come to the PS3 eventually, but by then, actually already, GTA4 is the last thing gamers care about.

See what I mean? The whole exclusive DLC system is a con, it's a way to trick your potential market into thinking your version of the game is better. Excellent ethical business practice there. They trick you, you pay them, lap it up, buy more, pay more, get tricked again. So on and so on.

I mean it's fucking ridiculous, I wonder how much silver Microshaft-the-industry-in-every-possible-way lined that greedy "Cocksucker" Kotick's palm with for the exclusive DLC for the "Biggest Entertainment Release of all time"?

Hmmmmmm, disgustingly massive payments to create a "virtual, percieved, timed advantage against competition" and then L4D2's online servers aren't big enough........


hmmmmmm, someone needs to be putting those LIVE fees to a more customer orientated use methinks....

The

Ugh, Microsoft and it's exclusives.

What did I miss since I don't see where it says that it's a timed exclusive?

A new old-school MW1 themed Spec Ops mission would be TITS.

Also, maps.

Two maps, thirty bucks. That sounds about fair.

I hate it because I'm indie.

@ SexualChocolate
Im pretty sure the GTA expansions are exclusive and not just timed, plus they were worth while expansions, as i own both of them :D

Please tell me it's actual content, and not overpriced shitty multiplayer maps.
The main campaign was done in 2 hours. Expandable campaign experiences via DLC are where it's at.

Why aren't they giving us the MW1 remake packs, more Spec-ops, entirely new maps, and a fresh campaign as the opposite team whilst the original campaign takes off.
