Based on a quick glance at Twitch, MW2 is still playable.

MW2 came out less than a year ago so of course it is still playable.

Lol, Activision probably decided that MW2 isn't profitable enough so they release MWIII with a different monetization structure.

Look at how well the transition from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 was embraced by the players!

So basically MW3 is going to be exactly like playing MW2 with some new skins and a new way to trick young players into forking over $$$ for special colored guns and uniforms.

How many 100s of gigs will this game be?

I don't care about SP. Just bring back the Specialist in MP with OG 2009 maps in 9v9 Ground War. Kinda weird how they called this MW3 but with MW2 maps.

These "cinematic missions" are looking like a walking simulator ...

These games are very much on rails.

I suppose. I don't play any of the CoD titles so I have no insight.

Maybe they should just charge for ammunition.



Whatever they do, as long as more people play the new game than the old one, then it's a success.

For sure it's not going to get any cheaper over the long run. Activision will find their way to extract their pound of flesh from CoD players.
