Geez I cant really understand all this IW hate,they made a fun game introduced a cool perk system that I personally haven't seen before. They also brought a freshness to war games, and a nice alternative to the big console multi-player games I.E Halo,TF2 and Gears. And as for the Hype get over it, its same thing a Halo 3 had; its just people being exited about a hopefully fun game.
The only downside is that I hear that PC gamers aren't getting what everybody else is. I dont really know the details though.

Other than a few really bad decisions, Party Chat and Dedicated servers for example, I have nothing but respect for IW. They took a tired franchise and breathed new lfie into it with CoD4. I'm confident MW2 will be an even better experience.

In my opinion they haven't really done anything innovative, just released a balanced first-person shooter. But that terrorist cutscene does seem like the weakest of the controversies.

They gained my respect with CoD4, but the constant drama with MW2 makes me wonder... Have to wait until it comes out to see whether they have lost my trust or not.

Infinity Ward I don't mind so much. They seem like a decent bunch who know what they're doing and really want to try to make their job interesting for themselves. As long as Activision's name is on their games' covers, though, I'm not buying any of them.

Yes, they make wonderful games, but have unfortunately made some bizarre descisions with them.
This sums up my opinions quite well.

Also, IW has yet to fuck with the PS3 gamers. Lucky us?
There's still 4 days left... they've been pretty consistent in the last week so better cross those fingers!

I find shooters kinda difficult on the PS3 sticks, the seem a little imprecise compared to the 360 ones. But the PS3 probably has the tech clout to run the game at its best.

But that's besides the point... I hope they don't screw you guys over too.

With the party chat thing, is it just completely disabled while your in the online menu? Because it would be better if you were allowed to be in party chat in the lobby waiting to start, but when you actually enter a multiplayer game the game automatically shifts the entire party to game chat. That way if you lose someone for whatever reason you could just have everyone quit out, communication would only be lost for a few seconds.

Infinity Ward isn't really "pushing" anything. I'm sure the campaign will be as "cinematic" and fun as the last one, and it might not have the problem of endlessly respawning enemies that made the better option for a good part of the game to hold the shift key and ignore enemies, but it sure isn't pushing anything. However, if it allowed you to kill children, then I could probably accept and love it for "pushing boundries" and by that I mean make it superior than any game that has children in it that just absorb and completely ignore bullets (yes, I'm saying the game could be better than Fallout 3 if it let me kill children in preferrably graphic ways, yes I'm just being spiteful because of Little Lamplight, and YES, this is old news, and no, I probably didn't need to say yes in all caps).

I didn't much care for the multiplayer of Call of Duty anyway, and I'm not quite sure why it's so well liked. I, for one, would much rather play Battlefield 2 if I want a game in a similar style. I admit did appreciate the removal of any sort of HUD, and would like to see this in other games, but other than that it really doesn't have that much going for it.

CoD 4 was superb, but their blatant disrespect and utter disregard for PC gamers and the PC as a gaming platform in general has earned them my scorn.

MW2 went from a preorder to a rental for me.

Well I belive that they make good games. Although the whole killing civiallians thing was done WAY before MW2.

For example, God of War let you murder fleeing people and then rewarded you with Health.

From what I've seen it's only disabled in certain playlists like SnD where having contact with your dead teammates can provide a major advantage (nothing more annoying than getting behind a team than one of their dead friends telling them where I am). Party chat is still available in TDM and most of the other playlists which is why I'm not annoyed by that decision. In fact, I welcome it and most of the people who complain either don't know all the facts or are pissed that this advantage was taken away from them.

IW haven't pushed ANY boundaries in terms of game design.

I think the best shooter devs in the past few years have been Valve and Gearbox
