Will Mordern Warfare 2 take the last few remaining players from this game?

Im going to try and stay on BOP as much as my brain will allow.

I will be playing some MW2. I would be happy to take a few breaks from it and pop in some BOP if they throw the patch out there.

I hate to break it to you guys but MW2 is going to suck and fail badly. I for one wont be getting it on any system. Its an overhyped pile of claptrap, and the PC version got stiffed bigtime.

Infinity Ward are on a downward slide, their best is behind them.

HELL NO! I hate CoD. If you love it, fine, but I don't.

This, though I am getting this game, it's only because a lot of my friends are, and I got it at a lower price because of EB's trade in deal.

MW2 is so overhyped it's not funny. I mean DEATHSTREAKS?!?! Really? Rewarding the people who can't get a kill is ridiculous.

Still my friend MW2 will regular have 75 thousand + players on at any one time (guessed by the fact that COD4 now has 68K and COD5 has 62K), BOP for all its greatness is lucky to have 75 players at one time.

So if only a third of those people switch there time to MW2 (me included) then it will be all but impossible to get an MP game on BOP.

Heehee... Too bad in spite of all those players you're limited to tiny little 8 versus 8 matches on all systems since there's no more dedicated servers anymore. Couple of funny video about this explosive issue in case no one has seen them (click on them to make them bigger so you can read the subtitles):

I agree with others here, MW2 is way overrated. I can't think of one important innovation that MW2 is bringing to the gaming world.

It doesn't have the realism, graphics or non-linear gameplay of Far Cry 2, or the destructible environments or controllable vehicles of Battlefield Bad Company or Red Faction Guerrilla, or huge player counts and the interesting future setting of Frontlines Fuel of War... the list goes on of shooter games which are superior in various ways. If I was you guys I would save my money for one of these games, or Battlefield BC 2 next year.

Make no mistake, I used to love the COD series when it focused on WW2 but lately IW has become so arrogant they have alienated the very customers like myself that built them into the powerhouse they are today.

And yeah, that airport scene is pretty disgusting, it was obviously thrown in just to drum up controversy and drive sales. IW and Activision should not exploit real life tragedies in their relentless quest to make money.

Wow... Pretty bold statement seeing as how the game isn't even out yet.

Don't get me wrong... I don't think MW is the best game in the world... Nor do I expect MW2 to be the best game of all time...

But your statement makes no sense. MW2 is poised to be the #1 selling game of all time. (Unless you want to count Wii Sports into the equation)

Soooo... The game has over 2,000,000 preorders for both platforms... And that was a month ago. Yeah... IW is definitely on a death spiral. And like you Lex... I can definitely tell you that MW 2 is going to be garbage... Because we've both spent hours already playing it.

AND... If there's problems with the game... I doubt Infinity Ward is going to be able to put out patches to fix any issues. (That was a direct shot at 505)/Sarcasm

Lex... Your statement was just plain ignorant my friend.

I probably won't BUY MW2, but I will give it a try rental wise. I think some of the places, and locations seem cool. And it will probably take me away from BOP, not really because work has taken care of that mostly.
