The unbelievable hype of the best first person shooter's sequel


In these times of being a gamer, one might actually get tired of watching the same old sh*t in most gaming websites. They often make it not worthwhile to read due to updates being done everyday and almost everytime, it is just the same content a few days back.

I don't really give a flying f*ck on how great the game is. It is usually annoying to real gamers out there. What I am pertaining to is Modern Warfare 2. The game has been overhyped and milked like there's no tommorow, much like MGS4's hype campaign.

Nobody wants a good game to get raped by its sequel. But this time around, it may be the case with MW2. Look at Kotaku, QJ, Gamespot and the likes... most of it have garbage content recycled from day in and day out.

 In my honest and humble opinion, the game will suck. It has come to the point where the best game has been ass*ucked to get milked like I said earlier. Too many killstreaks, guns are ugly, throwing knives, and etc... also, who would want to go in a battlefield with a riot shield? anyone?

If we want to compare it to other titles that have crappy sequels, let us remember a good game not long ago.
The game will then be another example of Battlefield 2 transitioning to Battlefield 2142. Look at the game, it does su*k and will stay that way.

But going back to the topic, the hype is pretty overwhelming and makes a real COD4 player just play COD4 and not MW2. Sure, they have begged and dropped their knees to explain it not being COD6 because they don't want to have the aftertaste of COD5 from the gaming community.

The media has been a great tool for marketing games but it can be another tool to destroy a game title, and for this example, Modern Warfare 2.

  1. I can't wait for this game to come out! I know it's overhyped but I have good feelings about this game, I didn't like COD5, so I hope MW2 will be worth buying.
