Why you shouldn't buy the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package

Are the new maps worth 1200 MS points? Hell no.

If you're in a committed relationship with MW2, go ahead and splurge on sumptin' nice for the lady, but if your affair has cooled off, put that $15 toward a new mistress. Three new maps and two recycled CoD 4 maps aren't going to make the game better if you aren't already in love with it, and it's not a precedent we like.

Seriously Rip Off!!!
Luckily my brother bought that crappy game used.
It's not even worth the amount he payed for it.

Activation has completely lost a consumer in me. Luckily, they haven't been putting out any games I want so I haven't missed out on anything.

mikepmcc4927d ago

glad to see everyone agrees on this

Shendow4928d ago

We aren't in it for you, we are in it for the money, next will be Tony Ride 2 for 249 bucks, COD7 with add ons costing around 20 bucks and we might add something free like a art style for your game case.

Yeah I think they have pretty much went down hill, they had a good run but now its gone.

I can't wait for Activision's idiotic behaviour to bite them in the ass. What am I going to miss? The CoD series, the DJ/Band/Guitar Hero series. OH NOES!

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G48d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade47d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality47d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator46d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G47d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy8548d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G48d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo48d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg48d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast47d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
