What are MW2 boycotters plaing INSTEAD?

If you haven't seen the recent topic, http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.155205

Basically, I thought this was going to be a discussion, turns out it isn't, so I thought I'd start one.

For the people who boycotted MW2 and aren't going to play it, what are you playing instead of MW2?

I got all my Ratchet & Clank PS2 games back off of my friend, so that I can keep myself sane whilst I'm unable to get the new one. I'm also playing Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead on PC.

I have Guild Wars other good CoD games various games on a PSX emulator(don't worry they are legal).

Although instead of getting MW2 I will be getting L4D2 and BF:BC2 all good games that weren't screwed over for no good reason.

Dragon Age, ARMA 2, Call of Duty 4, Borderlands. Waiting for Battlefield Bad Company 2.

i wasnt a boycotter but i wish i was and never bought this game. *sisgh* i want my 60 bucks back

 

[Pingieking]

Dragon Age Origins. I've dumped in about 40 hours now, and I still need at least 120 more hours before I'm done with that game.

Bought a ps3 2 weeks ago so playing some exclusives while playing the l4d2 demo everyday.

5 days!

I don't understand this boycott, or the Left 4 Dead 2 one. You clearly enjoyed the first game, and the sequel (in both cases) is more of the same, but slightly better. What am I missing?

Off-topic in my own thread, but your avatar is fantastic.

Right now I'd be listing more games that I'm playing, but Steam won't bleedin' load.

I'm gonna try and see if UT99 will play properly under Windows 7, unlike vista where it felt like I was running through sludge...and this thing can handle Crysis...

 

[fix-the-spade]

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Except on Tuesday I made it to the Chernobyl NPP... then promptly ran out of nerves, so that's on hold for a while.

Also the L4D2demo, TF2, DoD:S.

Slthough mostly I'm going out and riding my bike, there's not that much new in gaming until L4D2 lands next week, just before I go away for a week, bugger.

The Left 4 Dead 2 boycott was like that, but MW2 is being boycotted over the omission of dedicated servers and mods on the PC. You could argue that without those, MW2 will be worse than it's prequel.

Anyway, I'm playing Team Fortress 2 (as always), and some Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect in preparation for their upcoming sequels.

 

[CanOfPop]

L4D2 next week.

oh, and Team Fortress 2 is STILL fun two years later due to mods / custom maps / dedicated servers.

Which MW2 will fail at.

[Random Argument Man]

Still playing Mario kart 64. I wish it had multiplayer on the internet.

 

[Irridium]

Well, I'm not a boycotter, but if I was, I would be playing Borderlands, Uncharted 2, Dragon Age Origins, and next week I would play Assassin't Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.

There are many options.

Wow, they sure showed IW!

 

[WeedyPirate]

I could not care less about modern warfare 2, seriously, Dragon Age is the bee's knees and successfully holding all of my gaming attention.

I'll be buying Operation Flashpoint 2 at some point in the near future to satisfy my shooting needs, that looks a shit load better than MW2.

Also, since i recently found a PSP in a box in my house (i never bought that thing) i was toying with the idea of Little Big Planet as that game always looked worth a try at least. But fuck, i couldn't even list 5 games for the PSP so perhaps i should look at it's other titles.

I linked to the Escapist topic on that, and I did put 'INSTEAD' in all caps, and the fact that that's 50 people out of 897 (or something like that)

 

[VitusPrime]

MW2 is hype pure and simple, so i play much funner games like S4 league and if i get bored of that, ill hit the game cube
Granted they FAILED at boycotting it from Ddg5 which just makes me wanna lol...
Then again, it could easily be faked

 

[Bretty]

Dragon Age... CS:S... Empire: Total War

Of course I had to buy a copy for my Bro because the poor guy just doesnt know an awesome game when he sees one.
