Modern Warfare 2 To Have No Multiplayer Trophies

True to their word, Infinity Ward has no multiplayer trophies in their next game, only single player and co-op trophies are available.

Duh!

Infinity ward never does online achievements or trophies.

sabestar5333d ago

Thank God for that.

I really don't like collecting online trophies, they're such a hassle at least to me (example GTA4).
Maybe bec im more of a single player kindof person

tdogchristy905333d ago

I agree, I enjoy multiplayer but when it comes to achievements, I feel it takes the fun out of what achievement are supposted to bring.

gaffyh5333d ago

The guy said himself in the interview, never say never, so they could have added online achievements. I'm glad they didn't though, because I hate it when your trophy/achievement relies on other people in your team doing good. Also my connection is quite crap, and I get disconnected in a lot of games, and in KZ2 for example, it wouldn't even update your stats so it would have been a waste of 20 mins. :(

SeraphimBlade5332d ago

Yeah, thank God for this. Beating online opponents, ranking up, and moving up the leaderboards are rewards in themselves. That and I totally suck online.

Blaze9295332d ago

Online achievements just ruin the experience. When I hear "hey wanna boost for achievements?" "Sure"....I get upset having to be stuck in that game and cant quit becuase of the penalties.

Then like in Gears of War 1, you had mad noobs just grenade tagging or chainsawing for that damn achievements which could have been made for public instead of ranked matches.

Timesplitter145332d ago

Never cared about trophies, never will

Bnet3435332d ago

This also goes for Xbox 360 achievements in case any one else was wondering. IW doesn't do online cheevos/trophies. The only people that do online achievements the right way is Bungie.

i think it should/can have some multiplayer achievements.
well, unlocks and challenges make up for that.

Clarence Callahan5322d ago

i'm glad there aren't any, online trophies suck imo, but if there would be any i'd like ranking trophies, like reach lvl 75, or unlock prestige mode, because those are trophies everyone will get on the go, and they are very different than for example: kill 3 opponents with 1 grenade, which sucks...
so i like it how it is.

ThatCanadianGuy5333d ago

Ahh..trophies, the superior version of achievements.

deadreckoning6665332d ago

Seriously, wats the difference? Tell me, I'd really love to know.

Elvfam5115332d ago

Is the difference between them

Saaking5332d ago

Trophies are more meaningful than a number that just gets bigger. With trophies you say "look at my trophy collection" with achievements you say "look at that big number" Trophies are better.

JonnyBadfinger5332d ago

Why would it be any different to the Achievements??

@ Saaking
I see your bubbles are disappearing. well we cant have that, now can we. Have a bubble on me. And hopefully everyone else will chip you in one aswell.

Ahh..trophies, the achievements wannabe.

gaffyh5333d ago

You could call the Xbox 360 a PS2 wannabe. Face it dude, everyone copies each other, the main difference is whether they improve on what they copy.

snake_eater5333d ago

PS3 a superior console with a superior reward system.

360 contingent continues to deny that... their little minds cannot handle the truth...

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18219h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie10h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno21h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno19h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii6h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
