Activision paying Valve to make MW2 seem more popular? - Games

Remember kids; [I]EVERYTHING[/I] is a conspiracy.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;19303156]Remember kids; [I]EVERYTHING[/I] is a conspiracy.[/QUOTE] How can you even bring up the idea of conspiracy? To say shit like companies bribing other companies doesn't happen all the time would be ignorant(although you didn't say that specifically, you are still saying that the idea of the one company bribing the other is crazy, and that is truly ignorant!). How do you think oil companies are so powerful, they bribe(and possibly muder) other companies/the government all the freaking time.

[QUOTE=Samuelgames;19303247]Every CoDMW2 copy is activated through steam so I guess that counts too, not only Steam Sales.[/QUOTE] Oh that makes more sense I guess. I'm sure alot of little kids who aren't buying the on sale items (lack of credit/debit cards, take that you little shits) just got it for Christmas [editline]01:28PM[/editline] But actually, that'd probably only make MW2 that high in the sales thing on Christmas / the day after, not 5 days after

Modern warfare is in top place because it's a popular game. Because it's fun. :downs:

I need to buy this game!

CivIV is now #1

[QUOTE=TickLe MY eL;19303115]I don't think they paid valve anything, but honestly, it is pretty obvious that many of the large game reviewing companies were heavily bribed to give good reviews. We all know the pc version is NOT even CLOSE to a 10/10, most people think it is pretty garbage mainly because the multiplayer is pretty darn horrible(singleplayer is pretty good but too short). If you go on metacritic, you will see that it has a rating of 86/100 from the major game review companies scores, yet the average person review is a score of 2.3 out of several thousand reviews. Honestly, i am very disappointed that they would go to such low levels to sell more of their shitty console port. How many people can you honestly say play modern warefare 2 that often from your steam friends list? Not many i can bet, really shows you how bad of a multiplayer it has.[/QUOTE] I reckon around 114,385 of us could say we were playing it right now. [editline]07:17PM[/editline] This reminds me of something they said on the Rock Paper Shotgun podcast. They said that people who make those kinds of accusations don't know what a truly bad game is. Most people only play the best games that are out there, at worst they only play mediocre games. But critics routinely have to play the shittiest games and only rarely get a good one. It puts it into perspective and this is why MW2 had high scores.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;19293267]Because you're giving Activision way too much money to play a pretty generic FPS that's only popular because all the kids in the ghetto who can only afford to steal xbox 360s buy the game. That and the game is false advertising, it should be another James Bond game, not a Modern Combat game.[/QUOTE] :words:

I think MW2 is great. Look at the weapon and character animations at least...

I doubt that Activision is paying Valve to do that. But I voted the first one because I think Activision are bastards.

this is the stupidest poll Ive saw, ofc ourse there not.

Just to go back on my cod4, i don't think its a bad game, or "really, really, bad" as i said, but i didn't think "it was the best game ever, when we look back we see COD4" didnt we say that about Halo 1? ALL COD4, and 6 are, they are the new "Halo" if you know what i mean. I mean that, Halo 1/3 was one of the greatest games of all time, next to Doom, and Half Life 1/2, Bioshock and even then people were like, OH MAI BEST GAMEZ EVER When i ask people, what do you think is better? Halo or COD, and they all say COD, but when the Halo's were first out, people were like "ZOMFG BUI IT NAO NAO, SAOO G0000D!!!!11!!!!one!!1" It's the new Halo, tis all it is. And there will be more of em, COD7 will be the Halo 3, and then something else will come out thats super awesome amazing, and people will puke when they think of COD4/6/7 because of this new super awesome game. What we have to remember is that all we have to lose... is money... time.... and our health--OH WAIT THATS VALUABLE SHIT FLAME MORE! lol I want my COD6 money back so i can go and buy Borderlands...

I actually like MW2 I seem to like the way it always gives me a good server instead of the old way when I would lag out half the time. (give me gaybows and crosses to keep the gays away from me)

[QUOTE=-TRASE-;19305372]I think MW2 is great. Look at the weapon and character animations at least...[/QUOTE] One of the thing I hated the most about 4 were the animations, because people played an animation when they died. It was always fun to die in a nade with two other people, and have all 3 of you play the same death animation

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F;19301778]United Offensive is also good.[/QUOTE] I thought United Offensive was the best in the series.

Played the campaign on Regular. Got happy when they got price. Got pissed when ghost died. Got satisfaction after killing Shepard. The Museum was like "holy shit to many bad guys". tried multiplayer and kept getting killed by snipers , campers, and nade spammers. tried spec ops. got 2 stars on pit stopped. basically Campaign=alright Multiplayer= Shitty Spec Ops= somewhat fun

I really hate all the people who say, "Hurf durf it's da newer cawd so it obviously suxurz do da cawd twoo durrr" MW2 was a decent game, not a bad game, not a really really really good game, and a game selling a lot of copies can't possibly mean that people actually like it, right? :downs:

I like how all of you are calling MW2 terrible, when, nobody, on this entire forum, could make a better game. It's for entertainment they aren't trying to be ground-breaking, they are just trying to make a fun game for you. Stop hating. Jeez

Oh, hey, way to put opinions into poll options. [B][I]Do you like Obama.[/I][/B] [I]A: Yes, I think he is the greatest being to ever grace the earth, republicans are evil, and Obama will save us from all our problems. B: No, Obama is the axis of evil, he's a sinner and the antichrist. I hope he fucking dies and burns in hell.[/I] Derp, which one do I chose?

[QUOTE=AshtonArdoin;19315550]I like how all of you are calling MW2 terrible, when, nobody, on this entire forum, could make a better game.[/QUOTE] There's a special place in hell for people who make that argument. Guess I'm not allowed to complain that my internet connection is shitty, because I can't build my own networking infrastructure. Guess I'm not allowed to complain about my phone dropping calls, because I'm not a hardware engineer. Guess I'm not allowed to complain that Twilight books suck, because I'm not a best-selling author. etc. etc. tl;dr fuck you, sir

After playing MW2, I say i think it adds and a little better then Cod 4,

I dislike the game, Better Graphics bull shit looks the same, Better Multiplayer bull shit it is almost the same Better Campaign even more bull shit ends almost the same as the first one in a different setting bad guys all over the place you kill him when you guys are on your backs and after you kill them someone is almost dead or should be fucking dead and then a fucking mother fucking helicopter comes and saves your ass and you are alive in the next game.

Not sure why you guys are saying cod4 wasn't a good game either, it was a GREAT game, equal to cod2 in my opinion. Maybe some of you don't feel the same, but to say it is a bad game is odd, considering how much of a good game it was.[/QUOTE] Pretty darn horrible? Hahaha, have you even played it? And just because the disgruntled masses rate the game on the lack of dedicated servers bandwagoning doesn't mean it's a bad game. [editline]09:28AM[/editline] I honestly don't see how people hate this game, people are exaggerating its flaws or something...

[QUOTE=Advancedrock;19320514] I honestly don't see how people hate this game, people are exaggerating its flaws or something...[/QUOTE] It's really quite simple: other people have different tastes than you. Some people, like myself, know they don't like these sorts of games ("Realistic" combat? That probably just means everybody's sniping. Give me TF2 any day.) However, others may like the genre in general but find this particular game distasteful for one reason or another, be it the lack of dedicated server support, the online community, grenade spam, whatever. It's the same thing for any game. Lots of people like Counter-Strike. I don't. Neither side is wrong. I like TF2. Many people don't, and they're entitled to that opinion.

Accusing valve of doing this is just utter bullshit. It was just christmas, many people would have asked for it for christmas..... Gah.
