Slow news day?
Pretty boring cover, in all honesty. _________________ PSN ID: MarkyUK 360 ID: MarkyUK35

Oh great bad move by Activision. Should have left the Call of Duty branding off this one and kept it as a new series. Oh well their loss.
Yeah the cover isnt exactly epic is it! _________________ AJ

There is a 50-50 chance I will be getting the game but to be honest I don't care what the cover looks like. And to me this isn't Call of Duty .... modern warfare isn't call of duty simple as that. |

One thing made me giggle why not show all of the formats covers off and not just the xbox360? typically fanboyish don't you think? Just makes it look more fan made. |

I like the picture... he looks like a green cross code soldier, looking both ways before crossing the road. Sound advice for the hoards of children that no doubt will end up on the multiplayer... _________________ "I'll get a mop..." |

In defense of CVG, this is the only game site I really can be arsed to look at, so yes it is news to me. I may not be on the cutting edge of gaming news, but i'm more than happy to be a few days behind... _________________ "I'll get a mop..." |

Probably that Activision didnt want IW to get too big for their boots and insisted on it being CoD.
Also probably due to rights and ownership too. |

I honestly think that it is because Infinity Ward are actually contracted to the Call of Duty brand, it is in there contract.
And if they produce a game without Call of Duty in the title, Then it isnt really a Call of Duty game, thus meaning that they will have to make a Call of Duty game, per contract. You know?.
Hard to personally explain it from my point of view, But thats what I think the reason is, Activision contracted Infinity Ward for the Call of Duty, not the "Modern Warfare"
And who ever is complaining about the cover art, I would 1) Love to see you try make a cover art piece, And 2) Ask that, You do know how much time goes into these things?.
Quit your moaning, Whores.
And to the guy who stated fanboyism for showing the xbox 360 case, ..Look behind that kid, the PC case is there too. -shock-. |

The whole point of a cover is to catch the attention of a potential buyer. That cover just says "average military simulator" to me. Looks dull. |

slow news day / old news day
cvg always post stuff 2/3 days after everyone knows already. add to the fact that no one gives a flying f**k what the game is called and how big the text is on the cover and you have yourself a slow old news day.
cvg - "gaming since 1981"
maybe thats the problem with the stale-ness of this site. get some fresh blood in rather than these oaps getting excited about mediocre subjects such as box art. |

I won't buy it. I am done with first person shooters for the moment and I think that this will be exactly like CoD5, they will rush it in time for christmas and everyone will be bitterly disappointed by it. The industry needs to either be more balanced or move onto a new fad genre, this one is getting very old very fast. |

@ lordirongut
Its hardly gonna be rushed, they will have worked on it for 2 years come release date. And trust me this will be the daddy of all cod games.
Cod5 was as expected, THEY were a DIFFERENT developer. So its unfair o say mw2 will be rushed and dissapointing like cod5.
Infinty Ward = Top developers that redifined FPS.
Treyarch = Semi skilled developers that need there hands holding _________________ PSN = Mmmmgrolsch

The Call of Duty name is back, but the '6' isn't there, denoting (to me, at any rate) that this is a new franchise, despite the inclusion or exclusion of the name on the box.
Fine by me. This was always gonna be a purchase for me. _________________ NEO ANARCHIST AND BEST BANG SINCE THE BIG ONE

@Tobal - I have actually looked into working at CVG, Though whenever I email them for details, they never get back in touch. Would love to work on this site, though I feel they just dont care. lol. |
