danisflying527 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You just don't like being wrong, admit it :p Actually the guys right I even fell victim and Bought all the cods on computer but when cod6 came out I bought it on 360 for the first time Hes right the only reason they sold is because of steams deals And I doubt people would buy it full price for PC just my opinion anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Great logic, sales increasing = means it's dying. Then that's settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You said CoD on the PC was dead, I disputed that with increased sales - Nothing else. No need to skate around everything else. Again, dead does not mean sales exactly. Dead means it is total crap to those who know a good game. Dreamcast was a great system, sold amazingly well for its time, but it was a dead system. There were things about it that just made it so it would not keep afloat. Same with MW2 sorta. But when you just want to go by how many people bough it... then sure, you are right. But I look at much more than just sales. your logic is great, only factoring in 1 thing to determine the status of something. Nothing is black and white, there are grays all around.

Sikh Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Sethos, really? I'm with shaky. The GAME ****ING SUCKS ON PC. have you played / followed it? Its like all of us took a crap and said "neowin is publishing this game for PC" and a lot people went "oh well its from those guys and there other games were good lets buy this despite the bad rep behid it before release". I for one was an AVID CoD gamer/lover until mw2. Great on 360 and sucks dick on PC. Just because sales are high doesn't mean ****. I know many people who quit playing it within a day or two because of lag/hackers/kids. The games a joke on PC, simple as that sethos and you of all people I expected to understand that. Also doesn't help it was marketed up the ass, n00b pcgamera bought it anyway, people that have never played a cod on PC bought it etc. Another thing was I was priced higher and that extra $10 made a big deal when so Many were sold. Plus steam and it's free weekends / kickass deals got a lot of people to buy it. On top of all this the pc community was maybe 5% of the total and now theres like 2% left seeing how anytime you jump on, you can't connect and if you do the games hacked or hackers are running around. Its like Starcraft. The most UNEXPECTED people are buying it / bought it left and right. Then when there computers cant handle it they go buy new computers or upgrades. But sales doesn't mean the game is good. In this case yes Starcraft 2 is down right epic. But MW2 sucked balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I explained it in 3 other post, it took you this long to get it.... Yes, you proceeded to explain it ( badly ) after I proved your first rubbish statement wrong, that's not how you do it. Just explain things properly the first time, then you don't get these 'misunderstandings'. Sethos, really? I'm with shaky. The GAME ****ING SUCKS ON PC. have you played / followed it?

I haven't mentioned the quality of the game or ANYTHING else, I argued a claim with some facts and nothing else and suddenly I'm pro-MW2 despite talking trash about it every chance I get? Christ you people need to learn how to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 No I never said you were pro-MW2 but you Arguring the game is "good" or has been "well off" so far confused me because regularly I see hate on that game as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleGM Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 How does that compute when the PC version of MW2 outsold PC MW1? Sethos' original statement, he's right. He never mentioned anything about the game, only the fact that the 2nd outsold the first after the statement that people learnt after the first MW and CoD on the PC was dead.

I never argued it was good? FACTUALLY, the game is selling better than its predecessor, including on the PC and that's ALL I SAID. So by looking at pure facts, saying the game is dying doesn't really make sense. Yes, if you want to apply metaphorical statements yada yada then perhaps it is but by looking at it from purely a business standpoint, it's thriving. Sethos' original statement, he's right. He never mentioned anything about the game, only the fact that the 2nd outsold the first after the statement that people learnt after the first MW and CoD on the PC was dead. Hallelujah! Thank you.

Sikh Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Well don't classify a ****ty shovel a shovel! No your completely right. I do agree with you but the fact is, being the top most played game PC fps, yet core/pro PC gamers are no where around it. Really shows how many naive people are in this world. Sad that most of them bitch about hacking and ****, but still play the game. Really people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'll probably still pick this up for my ps3 so me, my brother and buddies can play one another without issue. God knows when i'll be able to play it though with gran turismo coming out the same month. I'm not going to have a life anymore when that game comes out.

Spookie Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Sure they do. Even MW2 had one, only it came out way after the games release Not very useful to judge the game pre release though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 They should offer a free weekend of the game like MW2 has had a few times. That would be better than a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted August 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm glad Treyarch is doing this but it won't make me go back to playing Call of Duty on the PC. I have too many friends that have Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 that plan on buying Black Ops as well. I absolutely loved Call of Duty 4 on the PC but Modern Warfare 2 ruined it for me with no dedicated servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayos Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 CoD games don't do demos. but if they did, they'd probably be the best demos in the ? Oh, hang on. Wrong brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
