This game is amazing. Graphics are ok, but watered down because of the 360's hardware. Too bad tho, PSN networks just as good, and is free. My buddies say the controls are better for the Playstation 3 remote, but I don't care either way, they both feel the same to me. Great job Infinity Ward, for making a great game with massive maps! The Favela is the hardest map! So many cheap campers in that map!

It just shows that piracy isn't killing entertainment. What they put out does, since most stuff sucks anymore.

Makes you wonder if it would have toppled GTA4 if it was the same price. Remember they hiked the price of the game

I have no idea how or why this happened... MW2 is a superbly mediocre title.
I'm not saying it's bad, because it's not, but it's also not a great game... The campaign is fun, the story us entertaining, but it's ridiculously short, the characters never really have enough time for you to get attached to them. The multiplayer is absolutely nothing to write home about, unless we're talking about the PC version, in which case it is, but only because of the boneheaded decisions IW made regarding it.

Well, Thats your opinion I enjoyed the story (although short) and I've been playing the multiplayer non-stop since the 11th. Spec ops mode is fun if you have some friends to play with too.

I didn't say that it wasn't fun, I said it wasn't deserving of the Biggest Launch in Entertainment History.

I think you two are getting trying to resist the flow or something.... the game is obviously amazing, these sales do not lie. They'll always be people who oppose the highest I suppose. Just for the sake of being different.

that's not stupidity, that's just a silly teenage girl thing. it'll pass. COD4 never died, hence the popularity towards this game. And i can't believe you'd compare COD:MW2 to Twilight.

Kudos to MW2 took a strong offering in MW and just re skinned it and made the maps as big as we all wanted! The New Custom Kill Streaks are a nice touch, but as usual there are those who will moan. I play on PS3 and I enjoy it, still would be better with mouse and keyboard controls, the only reason I swapped from PC was to keep costs of hardware down

Are these straight through to cosumer sales or just what retailers ordered to sell? I'd love to know how they'd arrive at consumer sales as not every store would relay figures back to a 'central point' in order to stroke a publisher's ego
