How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games
Apr 8th
Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2. That’s right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free. At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I’m pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an [...]
Bad Company 2 continues its not-so-covert war against Modern Warfare 2 with map pack announcement
Mar 16th
DICE have taken every opportunity to capitalize on the mistakes made by Activision and Infinity Ward with regard to Modern Warfare 2. From their timely announcement that Bad Company 2 would be using dedicated servers right down to the language on the game’s info page (emphasis mine): All of [Bad Company 2's] features combine to [...]
MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!
Mar 15th
This goes along with my article from last week. In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2′s apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on. Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon [...]
Modern Warfare 2: How many players?
Mar 10th
Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert. Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users. Yes folks, 25 million.

Modern Warfare MMO?
Jan 9th
Over on Tom’s Hardware I came across this article that Infinity Ward might (and I stress the “might” heavily) be making some sort of Modern Warfare MMO instead of Modern Warfare 3. Though the author, Marcus Yam, discounts the rumor mostly because he doesn’t think they won’t drop a potentially lucrative MW3, I have to disagree. We [...]

It is now one month after the release of the most popular polished turd in history. Since Activision and Infinity Ward are interested in nothing other than numbers, let’s take a moment to examine some as they pertain to MW2 on the PC.
