Games Inbox: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 failures

The Monday letters page thinks it knows why people are so bad at predicting Nintendo, as one reader considers the 50th anniversary of Atari.

Final lessonIt’s always frustrating that we never get any sales figures for games and even if we did they wouldn’t be independent, so I’m not sure they’d even been trustworthy. The only thing we ever get is some sort of comparison to a movie and a brag about it being the fastest-selling game ever. For Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 it was Top Gun: Maverick it was being compared to, alongside the fastest-selling claims. So how comes I don’t know anyone that’s still playing it?

I know plenty of people that were playing it, and are now regretting having bought it, but the response I’ve had amongst my friends is completely negative, including the campaign. I’m not saying I’m such a popular guy that that’s hundreds of people, but it is a dozen or so long-term Call Of Duty fans. Looking online the general mood seem to be very negative, with people upset at the new maps, the modes, the menus, the pacing, PC cross-play, and the bugs.

It’s still Call Of Duty underneath, so you can have some fun with it, but I’ve given up. Life’s too short, games are too expensive, and I’m kicking myself I didn’t just wait until Warzone 2.0, because at least that’s free. Although I imagine it’ll suffer from all the same problems, plus more cheaters (and apparently DMZ mode is bad). The problem with digital downloads isn’t the price, it’s that you can’t sell them on and at this point I feel I’ve learnt that lesson one time to many.
