Sledgehammer: Forget Battlefield, MW2 is the game to beat

MCVUK - Call of Duty developer Sledgehammer Games says its big adversary is Modern Warfare 2, not Battlefield.

Studio head Glen Schofield has played down Modern Warfare 3’s rivalry with EA’s Battlefield 3, insisting his main focus is to live up to the 2009 FPS predecessor.

@AdmiralSnake

Do not insult all of the ps3 fans for his "redundancy". He is just a troll.

BattleAxe4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

@ Admiral Snake,

Uncharted 3 is god, now get down on your knees and pray.

@ Bereaver,

Sell your PS3.

iamnsuperman4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

Did you (edit anyone) read the article or just the flamebait title. The article is quite reasonable. Its about the living up to their fans and so need to beat MW2.

Baka-akaB4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

Still come on ... what reaction do you expect ? MW2 was successful but horrible in most aspects , how do you expect anything else but mockery around here with such title .

EDIT :

Scratch that .They do mention it being a benchmark , so basically the same as the title but expendable .

They do deserves the rolled eyes and mockery then

Daoshai4569d ago

I enjoyed MW2 multiplayer, as do millions of others.

gamingdroid4569d ago

I'm actually thankful they aren't setting BF3 as the benchmark. I don't want BF3, I want MW when I buy MW3.

If I wanted BF, I would have bought BF3!

After the beta, I will most definitely pass on it.

MrGunny944570d ago

Any game can beat MW2... any.... i had more fun playing DOOM 1 then this

InNomeDiDio4569d ago

than and then is not easy for people who don't speak English that much. I made that mistake very often when I was in school years ago.

Daoshai4569d ago

*who doesn't

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

deadpoole4569d ago

As long as ppl can understand each others message ... job well done ... other than that nobody's here to write hamlet ... deal with it and stop bein grammar nazi.

Tr10wn4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

Say that to the other 11.9 million they will simple ignore you and keep playing MW2

BALLARD324570d ago (Edited 4570d ago )

lol MW2. What a horrible game. They sure aren't setting their standards very high are they?

EmperorDalek4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

The only people that think MW2 was a horrible game are Battlefield fanboys. Spec Ops in MW2 was possibly the best co-op this gen (IMO), the Campaign was short, but varied and fun (BC2's SP was garbage in comparision) and while BC2 had better MP, MW2's was still good.

garenteed that you were about to say "The hackers and glitches made it crap". After over 30 hours of gameplay, I found no glitches or hackers (PS3 version).

So tell me, how was MW2 "terrible"?

Baka-akaB4569d ago

MW2 was mocked for various reasons before bf3 was even hinted .

And the numerous glitches you didnt find have been patched to hell over the years

ZombieAssassin4569d ago

When I bought Mw2 I hated BF games since Bad Company was such a let down and I sold Mw2 after less than a month of having it.

It's not just BF fanboys, most people I know who are hardcore CoD fanboys thought Mw2 was one of the worst especially map design wise.

gamingdroid4569d ago

I insanely enjoyed CoD:MW2. Don't know what the hate is about, but there seems to be trend. Get popular and a small niche, but very loud group will start to dislike it.

Happened to basically Gears of War, Halo, Mass Effect and of course CoD.

The only one I haven't heard that from is Uncharted... that game is revered like the second coming of Christ.

qzp4569d ago

The only game thats as shitty as mw2 is bc2. I had more fun with cod4 than any bf and i'd be the first one to say mw2 is garbage and a let down. There goes your "fan boy" theory.

EmperorDalek4568d ago

"And the numerous glitches you didnt find have been patched to hell over the years"
I started playing it in 2009, so I didn't get most of those patches.

@ZombieAssassin
I agree that some of the maps were bad, but some of them were good. But even if you didn't like the MP, Spec Ops was great.

@qzp
Why did you hate it? none of the haters have answered my question.

BALLARD324568d ago

Just because someone doesn't like CoD makes them a Battlefield fanboy? If you're going off my pic, that means nothing.
To answer your question, compare CoD4 to MW2. Simplicity is what mad CoD4 so great. MW2 was a mess out of the box. You had glitches galore(all games have them but this was particularly bad), horrible balance, and game breaking features i.e. perks, killstreaks, etc.. And like you said, the hackers did also ruin it and thats a fact. Horrible security in the game. So please, keep calling anyone who likes quality a battlefield fanboy.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons7d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac7d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-235d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris21d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera21d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii21d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts20d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX20d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos21d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast21d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
