ok this has been on my mind since release and I can't find an answer, I'm the only male gamer in my class that doesn't own a copy of modern warfare 2 and I don't intend to because I just can't find any replay value in it. alot of people in my school are getting excited for black ops (even if they're underage)which will most likely replace MW2. So tell me, Why are people playing this? The only shooter that I own and currently play is Battlefield bad company 2, and even then that's only because I like the vehicle sections(please don't take that statement as hypocrisy)

Have you ever considered the fact they might enjoy it?
It's not that hard if you think about it.

Because they enjoy it.
Or more likely, it's because it's what their friends are playing and they want to play with them.

Why does it bother you?

I know but... why? How can it be fun after nearly a year? I've played it a friend's house and I was bored after 20 minutes.
though your right, it's probably just people's opinions.

Stop being silly. People can't think in the same way, everyone thinks in a unique way. You might not find it fun but plenty of others do. I still play CoD4 every day.

Pretty sure you just answered yourself there and this entire thread.

Its because MW2 is easy to play. You can have downs syndrome and still get a nuke.

Battlefield Bad company 2 is too difficult for COD players even though it is the superior and far more enjoyable FPS.

Like Halo, it's a pretty accessible game that most people play with friends, therefore making it more enjoyable and harder to move on from.

I understand why, but it does bother me.

Personally MW2 just annoys me now...

It is just so... unreal and insane compared to the more down to earth Bad Company Battlefield 2 which I love :D

Still MW2 is considered to be popular and it just grabbed peoples attention in the gaming world. Therefore it became the default online FPS for friends to play together. Why it is played is obvious... it is why the XBox 360 still has people playing it: Modern Warfare 2 came before Battlefield Bad Company 2.

If the XBox 360 was released after the PS3 (and the PS3 was cheaper) then it would have such a smaller audience because it would not have been what everyone flocked to buy. (But I digress)

3rd party factors are involved in why it is the default... how good a game it is plays little part of it...

The same reasons people still play CoD5, CoD4, and even Counter-Strike. Because they like it. Because their friends play it. Because it's easy for them.

we enjoy playing fps's. especially with MW2 it's all online multiplayer anyway, there isn't that much first play value in the campaign, much less replay value.

I don't have a 360 cuz it came out first. I have a 360 because of halo, and i bet that goes for a lot of people as well.
