Am I the only one not exited about MW2?

I have never been interested in any of the Call of Duty or Medal of Honor games or any of those, what I've dubbed, 'war sims'. The only reason I've spoken out about MW2 is because I see it as a symbol, it's a symbol that the developers/publishers seem to think us gamers can be easily manipulated. They can totally screw us up the ass and we'll still buy their shit, or enough of us will for them to make huge ass profits. It comes down to either standing up and refusing to be treated like sheep or rolling over and taking it. From what I've seen however, it seems the majority of gamers are content to be sheep. Of course to take a stand would require sacrifice, but would it be worth it to regain control of your favorite past time.
No because:
1) The campaign can't be that long and I play games mostly for narrative/story
2) I don't really care that much for multiplayer or a game that's basically a fancy counterstrike (horrible generalization forgive me), and all that talk about gimping player control over the servers gives me less incentive to play.
3) they hiked the price

They have yet to be proven wrong. And we have yet to prove it to them. All this whahhh whahhhh they ruined COD will all be forgotten tomorrow (or even earlier since some places aren't adhering to the street date) and everyone will be all hurray for MW2 while it sells millions upon millions of copies. And hey if it doesn't do well on the PC then either they won't bother with the PC for any of thier games or they will invest the resources to fix this (or change it for the next time). I don't think they will consider the latter as a viable option though.canadamus_prime said:
I am curious to see how many of the "PC Elitists" who have been raging and frothing at the mouth over this will still not buy a copy come tomorrow.
Dude, this already started a few days ago, and it's only gonna get worse. Believe me, if this game does not meet expectations, we might be seeing some of the biggest shitstorms on the internet ever.IdealistCommi said:
I'm not excited about it no, but I'm happy for the people that are.
They've been waiting long enough, haven't they?

That is precisely my point. They WON'T be proven wrong. Gamespot reported that MW2 has the most pre-orders of any game. I foresee the deterioration of game quality to follow and publisher treatment of gamers to get much much worse in the near future. It will happen, mark my words. We had the change to prevent it, but we choose to ignore it and we will suffer for it.squid5580 said:
If MW2 is a letdown, not even Forum Games and the groups may be safe.IdealistCommi said:
We are truly at the mercy of the shitstorm.
No not at all. I lost all interest for about four months, then just decided to get it tomorrow as my university chums are. Peer pressure crossed with some decent team games I think.
