Poll: are the expectashons of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to high

[Mcface]

It didnt have a lot of fans, because it was its own game, and it was challenging.

now all of the people who got bored with halo, came over to COD4

 

[meglathon]

hey letts not fool areselves, the only reason where gona buy this game is for the mutiplayer, and from what ive seen it's alot better that the last one , but without changing what made it so amazing.

They set themselves up to fail the second they announced the game, it's going to be that same as Cod 4 with a couple of cheap additions stapled onto the side.

Considering that CoD:MW was absolutely awesome I fail to see how the same thing with extra bits will be bad. If you're that against the idea, think of it as an expansion and enjoy it for the extra gameplay alone.

I expect some people are set on hating it for the fact that it'll be popular alone, y'know a "I HAVE AN INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT OPINION" kind of thing.

Exactly, my point is, if it's just for a couple of extra little things what's wrong with DLC? for less than a fifth of what we're being expected to pay for a game that is pretty much a clone of the previous two.

Spoiler

I say yes definitely.

Let's be honest, before CoD4 not many people thought overly highly of the CoD series. Yeah sure there was a few fans, but it didn't really get the fanbase that it has now until CoD4, purely because CoD4 tried something different to the rest of the series which was to sidestep from the whole (let's face it... generic) World War II setting, which won the adulation of many gamers.

Nobody had high expectations of Call of Duty 4, but after CoD4 the series has a fanbase that expects high standards.

Em your dead wrong there CoD had a fairly big and decent fan base before Call Of Duty 4 with CoD2 being the second most played game on xfire(second to WoW) with CoD2 remaining in third place with CoD4 in second place.

OT:Yes I expect CoD:MW2 will stick to standards I expect from Infinty Ward.

Saying something like MW2 will be like CoD 4.5 is like saying Crash Bandicoot 2 was Crash Bandicoot 1.5 because they are hardly going to change the core aspects of a franchise and besides what could they change it to.

The only people who's expectations it won't live up to are people who think the game will bring about the second coming of Jesus.

Hopefully though they make it more of PC shooter than a console one and less of maps like Creek and Killhouse.

I don't think I put myself across so well. I know Call of Duty 1 and 2 had fairly big fanbases, but what I mean is the fanbases weren't as big as they started to get with Call of Duty 4. CoD4 got more hype than CoD 1 and 2, and the more hyped games get, the higher the standard gets set for a sequel.

Ok I see what you meant to say I thought you meant to say something different no harm done.

i think that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has set its self up for a big disappointment.

Welcome to the Escapist, we are your family now. And you can never leave us. And while your here you may as well learn punctuation and spelling.

I think that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has set itself up for a big dissapointment.

And it's spelt 'expectations'.

Sorry about that, but that's tough love for you.

And it's "spelled" expectations.

Tough love.

they should let you customize what your gonna wear that would be sweet

 

[flaming_squirrel]

they should let you customize what your gonna wear that would be sweet

It would also be pointless, gimmicky and a waste of time compared to what they could be doing.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

This could really use some better grammar and spelling. Anyway, that's sort of subjective to opinions, personally...I don't really care about the game that much. So it will likely seem great to me.

 

[Sibbo]

I think that COD4 was so amazing that even if this game is above average everyone will still think it is a massive letdown. If games weren't so hyped up our values and expecttions wouldn't be so high.

 

[BardSeed]

I don't think anybody's expecting anything more than yet another CoD4 clone with a few minor additions.

 

[Sibbo]

Infinity Ward makes the good CoDs, it's Treyarch that whored the franchise by making all these other bad CoDs like World at War. I don't think Infinity Ward will disappoint with Modern Warfare 2.

I really liked World at War, I think its just that everyone was blown away by COD 4 that WAW couldn't compete.

If Robert Downling was Peter Molyneux, then i'd say yes.

But no, he isn't is he? He's Robert Dowling, a hyper-cool guy from Infinity Ward.

And those people? They make good games, and just so happened to make one of the greatest online shooters of this generation.

Well, my point is, that as long as the game improves on the original in some way, then it will definately be awesome, no doubt.

Yep, pretty much this. If you liked modern warfare 1 than you most likely will like two.

 

[Nmil-ek]

I generaly hate fps and so have not really been following it but from speculation it looks to have little of what cod4 had (one of the few fps i have ever enjoyed) its seems to have ditched the down to earth realism in favor or dual wielding, mad terrorists, antartic sled chases... that and the hefty price tag im calling my guess on mediocre action movie wannabe.

 

[AvsJoe]

There are very few games out there that could possibly live up to the expectations set by the fans for this game. I believe it'll take a miracle for Modern Warfare 2 to live up to them.

 

[awsome117]

If it's anything like the first one, then I won't be buying it.

 

[Sky Captanio]

Well no-one will know if the Expectasions are too high or not until it's released.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I want to say garbage, but I'm going to say mediocrity.

BTW: Use spell check. Or firefox, it does it for you. That should combat your dyslexia, at least online.
