Can you hear that? That's the sound of Bobby Kotick jerking off with a handful of 100 dollar bills.

The word is "Preposterous".

Well, hooray for Infinity Ward. In my personal opinion, they've earned every penny!

And let me just clarify my position as a gamer by saying that Activision didn't earn any of it!

Three Billion?

Psh, that's chunk change.

Wow, Some bad series rake in money, but this is preposterous, and if it wins game of the decade, I for one, am going to be pissed off.

Shut the fuck up Kotick, your the last person I want to hear commenting.

aall i can say is lol. On one hand its cool that it has made more money than every hollywood movie out there( I love some movies but i want games to be atleast as dominant) but on the other i hate games which are overhyped. ITS a GOOD GAME BUT THERE ARE BETTER GAMES OUT THERE!

That was less of a fix than a cocaine addict putting a shitload of sugar in his coffee.

Chunk Change > Chump Change.

That analogy made no sense...

But beyond that, what on earth is "Cunk Change" also in the way you were typing it you were saying like "Pfft that's nothing", and thus I thought you meant "ChuMP change" from which would fit marvelously in your sentence.

I assumed you had a typo O.o

Good for Infinity Ward, but...

This just shows that most people don't care about things originality or artistic direction in games, it's a shame that more creative games will be lost in the shadow of generic war games like MW2.

Dear Escapist,

The fact that Call of Duty is successful is not news. I love you, but please please please stop pretending anyone cares. Everyone is firmly rooted in their camps, the people who are disappointed with mankind, and people who are addicted to an excellently produced but mundane-in-concept shooter.

I think this could be chalked up to "Marketing > all".
I watched the campaign played on the latest version, wasn't that pleased. Multiplayer... there's a disconnect in feeling when you play it. It doesn't actually feel like you're killing someone, just that you're knocking over a duck at the fair with an air gun.

I played MW1 and COD5. I can see why the games have become popular, espcecially with MW. I just hope that future games can have content that live up to the amount of hype the ads dish out.

$3 billion? That's insane. I'm flabbergasted. I think I just don't like shooters and will never understand the universal draw. (they all feel the same to me)

Well with 6 games in the Franchise it would bea kind of a let down it it was lower.

Sure the genre of FPS is generic, but the Modern Warfare series is at least refreshing in the sea of WW2 FPS's.

And think! Bioshock 2 is coming Febuary! Pitch a tent a grab your Assault Rifle! You are one of the many waiting at the Bioshock 2 midnight launch! Including me!

Blasphemy!

A lot of that money should be going towards IW.

_{..stupid Activision <.<}

The fact that it is successful isn't news, but the fact that it made $3 billion is. Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does. If you don't give a shit then just don't comment.

damn I want some of that money

Wow, well, Infinity Ward earned it, those are some fine games. Bobby, please, don't open your fat mouth in public, it makes others feel uncomfortable.

Oh man, I can't wait! I really think that it will be better than it's predecessor and the multiplayer looks terrific.

The only FPSs besides BioShock 2 that I'm looking foward to playing are Call of Juarrez: Bound in Blood and Singularity.

Gamers: FUCK ACTIVISIOOOOON!

*proves them right*

I think that even with all of the let downs for the PC community, MW2 will be the last good CoD game. It seems that they will probably turn into a money hungry demon and shit it all up.

So shall i. Call of Duty doesn't desere these awards.

Your not alot...your not alone

IW should separate from Activision and become their own company.
