Is this on purpose?

I see the so called "boycott" worked like gangbusters.

It amazes me that mediocre games do so well in the mainstream. Call of Duty MW has great single player play, but the stories are too short and the multiplayer is mediocre at best. I can't believe it sells so well.

I think Bad Company 2 will be a better game.

Well since each game cost $60 and a movie ticket costs 10 or less, takes a lot less to make more in the video game industry I would. guess. Still a awesome feat. I am sure this great reception economically will give them reason to ignore the cries of failure from the PC gaming community.

...(Apologies for the multiple posts folks, the log-in system was playing up!).

A video game has conquered the entertainment industry, gosh I thought it was pirates that were crippling the gaming market. I hope the other gaming companies are taking notes, if you create a good quality franchise you'll make some serious $$$.

i see your so called posting ability worked like gangbusters

hahaha... ok I deserve that, I will admit.

seeing as the only thing that the games got going for it is its cinematic like single player, and its only 5 hours long, paying 6 times the price of a movie ticket seems like a ripoff...

and I hear they are making a MW movie? wtf? won't that just be like every other one of the millions of war movies ever made?

Sales breakdown in the UK:

XBox - 57%
PS3 - 40%
PC - 3%

PC Boycott working as intended. For every 1 person who does not purchase this game for PC, you are hurting Activison/IW. If you think they are okay with their sales figures, you are dead wrong. The potential to make more money will ALWAYS drive companies to do just that, therefore each dollar they missed out on, hurts them.

That being said, the massive sales were to be expected. The PC marketshare could have been 10% though.

I won't pay for this game no way and i am on a PC.we also need to think of boycotting Hollywood.I no longer buy any new films nor will i be after all the greedbag things hollywood has been doing pertaining to the internet and the SOC BS Stuff among other reasons.

America was the greatest place on Earth not too long ago. Don't believe me? Lots of people think so, but ask a Native American.

My point is, no matter what MW2 means to the rest of the world, PC gamers like myself were screwed. No Diablo3 in 2010? Jesus.... This is getting better by the minute.

do you believe now that if it is a good game... piracy is effective no more.

movies nor music can compete with SUCH A GOOD GAME...

^ can't *

So what was the production cost of MW2? Lets get the nit and gritty on how much $ was actually made.

Enjoy it while it lasts Inactivision and InsanityWard, your costumer support on all platforms and treatment of pc-players will come back and bite you in the a**.

I for one, am NEVER going to buy Activision products again - tardcakes!

This comment is entertaining, seeing how it comes from someone whose username is derived from an artist who made one of the biggest sellout moves in the history of music -- comparable in nature to the console sellout move by Activision/IW. Timbaland... Really?

Probably more than that, esp. if they put in a good PC style multilayer.

Another Piece of shit game that did way to well and it still broke to this day.

I think they would of sold more like 25% - 35% on PC. I don't play consoles and there are a lot of people that don't either. Any medium spec pc will play MW/MW2. I take the ratio of the people that I know of and only 35% of them have a console but they all have a PC. So this game could of sold big on the PC.

I bought MW and got hooked, just from giving my friends a little demo they went out and bought it and a few coworkers. But now that we are Boycotting them the people I know are as well.

Big Loss for you IW.

just play l4d2 Support a developer that is PC friendly like Valve. I have no regrets not getting mw2 for the pc

Personly i will wait till they add a proper dedicated server multiplayer for now i will play killing floor

kewl

If Bobby Kotick was replaced, I would consider purchasing MW2 for the PC.

I bought this game for PC like dumbshit. I wanted it for the Single Player story cause I'm a story junky. I want my damn money back. That sad excuse for a single player sure as shit wasn't worth $60. That game was no better (in fact much worse) than a $20 expansion pack. Remember CoD: United Offensive? It improved big time upon the original Call of Duty. Still to this day it is my favorite multiplayer of all the CoD games. Even the campaign was relatively good.

What happened to the brother's in arms attitude of the old ones? It feels almost completely absent this time around. I mean even CoD4 had some of it.

You know what, I'm really looking forward to EA's new games. I really hope their MoH revitalization and the BF Bad Company 2 are really good.

For now, I'm just gonna sit here and keep playing Team Fortress 2 for my FPS action and turn to my trusty PS2 for long as hell story filled JRPG's. I still have a few to finish.

iv been playin online with a pirated copy for the past 3 days ... not anymore though they patched steam and gota wait for a loader for MP.

also console has been dealt with and co-ops too (u can now play with anyone U CHOOSE to) MP still in the works for the pirated copys .... my point is that when they successfully complete the works ... hopefully IW will add dedicated server through update and proper console too

....ONLY then will i consider buying it.

I agree with you, but I'd rather have a good Diablo III, rather than a shitty version so we can play in in '10
so I don't really think we're getting screwed over.....(that much)

Call of Duty - Modern Warfare the movie. Now that I would like to see!

I just hope they hire Kevin McKidd as Soap, and there's gotta be a scene in it where he shouts out that there's been a missle launch, whilst being pinned down by gunfire. Yes, that I would pay to see.
