Will Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Exceed all other FPSs This Year?

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Wednesday 11 March 2009 11:32 pm

Activision is the biggest publisher in the industry topping even gaming giant EA since there merge with blizzard; creators of the magnificent World of Warcraft. While I’m sure there are millions of gamers who know about World of Warcraft, they also were behind the excellent Diablo & Starcraft which have many gamers still rattling their names off here and there. Activision was behind Call of Duty, Guitar Hero (First two), & Quake. Activision has a few games up its sleeves to reveal but the most anticipated game in everyone’s mind is Call of Duty 6.

Hiphopgamer was present at the NY Comicon and inside sources over at Activision were asked if Call Duty 6 would top Killzone 2 this year. Their answer similar to Sony’s arrogance was a big and bold “YES” and then some. Hiphopgamer went on to ask for more details for such as the graphical power of the game as well as if the game play had changed at all since COD4 but all that was said was that the graphics will blow you away and the game play is deeper than any other COD you’ve ever experienced! They also went on to say that the multiplayer is looking to take new heights never before seen in the FPS genre (Insult maybe?). The one hint that we received was how the point system will work with kills.

Considering what we’ve experienced with Killzone 2 and knowing that infinity ward is the type of developer that welcomes competition, we can expect something epic. COD4 was amazing and if they can manage that and more into the next COD, the game will be as innovative as the previous COD4 and as fun and addictive. This game looks to topple every other game trying to start a fight. Now we play the waiting game.

    cod mow 2 beat killzone 2 ? not going to happen i bet it will not change from the first one just like waw didnt change and graphics after playing killzone 2 and the graphics on that there is no way a multiplatforms graphics will blow me away no way in hell. gameplay will be exactly the same unless they put a cover system like in killzone 2 which would be dumb but cod need something different every cod game is the shame shit

    I agree with benny. The next call of duty will definitely sell more than killzone 2, but it wont have half the quality.

    I pray every night that they change the gameplay. I hate running from wall to wall because the computer has an unlimited supply of frag grenades, with better throwing accuracy than Bret Farve. The guns are excellent, but the characters are flimsy. I read that they werent bringing back the G36 WHAT!!!

    gotta say i agree with some points benny said. a multiplat to blow me away with better graphics than killzone 2? yeah right!
    gameplay wise maybe, but not graphics.

    HyDRo1X always seems to be able taking a few sneaky little bitch ass pot shots at Sony, even if it isn’t about the PS3 he does this shit.

    Their answer similar to Sony’s arrogance was a big and bold …

    What the fuck has Sony having to do with this, let alone being arrogant!? … what happend to Confident! you fucking mooly.

  7. Comment by HyDRo1X — March 12, 2009 @ 2:57 am

    you know a few months ago when Sony said themselves said they were still the best console developers on the market they are winning hands down. That to me sounds more like arrogance than confidence, considering they said they’re winning and they will end up winning when they are actually losing. Confidence would sound like “we know we’re going to win if we put our mind and soul into it ” or something….

    The thing is, this review seems to be putting IW against Sony which doesnt make sense since COD:MW2 will be multi-plat.

    Although the Killzone VS COD4:2 makes sense as GG has raised the bar pretty far. If IW does get their stuff together and make a great game that tops KZ2, then we as gamers will be happy either way!~

    Much better written article Hydro, good job. As far as COD 6, its probably going to be COD 4.5. I haven’t heard anything that makes this game that much better than the last two. People will eat it up of course but how unoriginal is it to have a sequel of a sequel? COD 4-2, makes sense?

  10. Comment by Vandam — March 12, 2009 @ 8:15 am

    Killzone 2 sucks… COD 4 is a lot better and for those that think Killzone 2 is better I will say as Ice-T said when talking about the best shooter of this generation (COD4): Eat a dick!

    Killzone 2 is like shooting in a boat. The acceleration when turning is the mark of a flawed shooter. I’m starting to consider selling my PS3. This is my top deception of the year.

    First of all HipHop: F*** those clowns on N4G, talking all that s***. Keep doing your thing, debate is great. Now:

    Everyone on this page is forgetting something: Halo 3:ODST!

    Killzone 2 was a good start for GG, but not now. With some co-op & better environments will make it better the next time.

    COD:MW2- needs to be linear free, re-spawning enemies need to stop, environments need to be more interactive-ex. nothing happens when you walk through the water or bushes, make the rocket launcher nonlinear please, I’m tired of the scripted events of the rocket launcher in the missions.

    My prediction: Halo 3:ODST will win 2009 by at least 2 million in sales.

    heres one thing
    the graphics CANT be that amazing since its a multiplatform game that runs on the xbox 360
    guerilla games said themselves the main reason they onyl made killzone 2 for ps3 was that it simple COULDNT run on the xbox. simple enough. If call fo duty 6 is running on the xbox 360, then its aismple fact that the graphics are not going to be as stunning as killzone 2. simply put

  15. Comment by boss — March 12, 2009 @ 12:02 pm

    killzone is trash cod6 will crush killzone thats why cod is on its 6 because its a proven success playing games is all bout fun and enjoyment not all bout looks and thats why xbox destroys the piece of shit 3

  16. Comment by Dan — March 12, 2009 @ 12:34 pm

    Killzone 2 just is all graphics no gameplay, typical sony. And im no fan boy, ive got both systems, but seriously considering getting rid of the ps3!

  17. Comment by Tonburn — March 12, 2009 @ 12:38 pm

    -Ok i have killzone and have played all of the cod series but i have some questions about killzone……Why are the controls so sluggish???? im just saying that because when i play the game and watch others online try to shoot i notice the same thing,(going through almost 2 clips just to kill 1 person???) they have changed the controls around from what EVERY gamer is use to. I know that they want to do something different but come on now.

    PS- im an General in KZ2 x_White_Out_x i think its 2 underscores

  18. Comment by HyDRo1X — March 12, 2009 @ 12:49 pm

    @ #17 Tonburn, its called aim assist, turn it off on call of duty halo or resistance, any of them and see how well you do, you will have the same problem, real life doesn’t use aim assist and thats what they were going for

  19. Comment by lolhahaha — March 12, 2009 @ 1:09 pm

    if it’s on xbox 360 than there is no way it will be as good as killzone on ps3. simply not possible lol

  22. Comment by ZLXLZ — March 12, 2009 @ 1:51 pm

    There is no way it takes to clips to kill somebody. Not having aim assist available on KZ2 is the best thing they could have done. It doesn’t allow for any n00bs to hop in a game with their shotty’s and boost and run around with their auto-aim and finish 30 and 0.

    Killzone 2 is the absolute shit; and everything about it is. I own PS3 and 360. Call of Duty 4 was an amazing game. But I as stated in 90% of the above comments the graphics of Call of Duty 6… err…. 4.5.. er… MW2, won’t come close to the graphics of Killzone 2’s.

    It is two different engines… CoD MW2’s graphics will be like a highly detailed cartoonish like human running around but it WILL NOT come close to the realistic graphics of Killzone 2.

    Bottom line is this. Both games are/will be block busters… Both games are/will be must haves… And both game will have an enormous cult following the both of them.

    Ok, its a given that CoD:MW 2 will sell more because its a multi platform game. However, I think it will also be a better game. I have played through all of Infinity ward’s CoD games (meaning not CoD 3) and every one is fantastic. I have also played through Killzone 2, and enjoyed it very much…just not as much. The fire fights in CoD games are hands down the most intense and fun of any shooter I have ever played. KZ 2, with its sluggish controls break up the combat….popping in and out of cover multiple times to kill 1 enemy because you cant aim at him. Also the cover system felt like and afterthought and i never felt I had full control while behind cover. For those who say the controls make it realistic have obliviously never put on full gear, a gun, and tried it. As a soldier I do this often. I do not move that slow nor is there a DELAY in my turning from side to side…and i even carry a full sized M249 machine gun, doesnt get much heavier than that for a personal weapon….like I said, I thought KZ 2 was a great game, its just that the controls brought it down below the gameplay bar that CoD has set.

    I don’t see arrogance, I see confidence. And even though Kz2 has been developed for a longer time, I think that IW has more experience since this will be their third title for current gen consoles. And if the leap from CoD2 to CoD4 is any indication, you can’t really blame them for being so confident about CoD6.

    i have both systems and i would never play my 360 if gears wasn’t on it. and all the xbox fuckers out there can suck a dick you cant afford a ps3. thumbs up to xbox for noticing that there are faggots out there to support them.

  26. Comment by NDPX47 — March 12, 2009 @ 5:47 pm

    all those people sayin that cod4 is better than killzone 2
    you’re all idiots
    also killzone 2 is killzone 2 so it can have whatever it wants its not call of duty killzone or some sh*t like that dumbasses
    killzone 2 brought realism into fps which is more challenging than cod4
    i also have cod4 but i like killzone 2 more
    ill consider buyin codmw2 if its different than the past 2 cod’s
    and a better mp

  27. Comment by Ob3yM3 — March 12, 2009 @ 5:53 pm

    COD4 and K2 both have very entertaining elements in terms of both gameplay and multiplayer. CoD4’s singleplayer gets owned buy K2’s but COD5’s owns K2’s. CoD4’s multiplayer is fantastic and with all due respect i like the variety of weapons more than i do K2’s or CoD5’s. The variety in level’s also is pretty cool in both CoD’s but the graphics of K2 are simply amazing. The BOT mode was AWESOME in K2 yet since people were padding their stats GG removed it, unfortunatley. A shame too beacuase with Elite bots your ass is pretty much grass. All in all i love K2 but the next COD will surpass it in every way, it’s no disrespect but what Infinity Ward did with the COD series was remarkable. I know the next CoD will be great and it will sell a TON. anyone with a cureent gen system will buy that game and Infinity Ward knows it. The only thing i would like to see in the new CoD is some better sound effects, the guys from treyarch did and awesome job with Cod5 with the gun sounds, Cod4’s aren’t very realistic comprared to CoD5’s.

    I have both systems but I still won’t give you my ID… getting some hate messages doesn’t interest me that much. Uncharted is the top exclusive still. Killzone the most overhyped game since Halo 3

    John you can suck your mum’s dick and i could afford it i just would rather have a fun console then a media system

    Hey your name is littlemantate… sounds like little man mate. who’s the homo? You don’t know shit about gaming. I worked at a videogame store for 3 years I played everything and I can spot bad controls when I see them… You play only PS3.. I have the 3 current gen systems, so… who do you think is better placed to have played everything therefore know bad controls when he sees them?

  31. Comment by dakiddcd1 — March 12, 2009 @ 7:16 pm

    I would laugh if CoD 5 or 6 w/e is a flop because i think thy have done enough in cod4 so im guessing it will be idk different maps new story new weapons, doesnt sound like a new game but what do i know ill buy it most likely but im just saying i dont see what more they can do yea yea someone will say co-op but … imo co-op was not the best in cod5 it was just there. Now this topic is CoD mw 2 if killzone 2 sucked as much as some of u so elegantly put it, then why do u keep bringing it up if the game sucks then it sucks no need to say o “cod is gunna blow Killzone out of the water” well um first of the game is coming out afterwards, so infinity ward got some time, technology upgrades to comes and they can learn from KZ2 so stop bitching and suck Infinity Wards dick i swear one good game and every bodies a dick rider. Im not saying I.W sucks im just saying they had one good game COd 1 and 2 sucked to me because ww2 was played out after the 4th Moh game so

  32. Comment by Killzone2's controls are BAD — March 12, 2009 @ 7:23 pm

    Sorry to burst the bubble… but the controls in Killzone2 are pretty poor. It’s just the way it is chaps… just the way it is.

    Dj jam,
    I don’t see arrogance, I see confidence. And even though Kz2 has been developed for a longer time, I think that IW has more experience since this will be their third title for current gen consoles. And if the leap from CoD2 to CoD4 is any indication, you can’t really blame them for being so confident about CoD6.

    ok first of killzone 2 is a new engine Cod has been using a polished engine over and over again. second this is not IW 3rd next gen game it is there second Cod 5 was developed by treyarch. 3rd it took em 2 years to make cod 4 after cod 2 was released, the only reason that happened was because when treyarch upgraded the gfx for cod 3 it made the job for IW a hell of a lot easier. Now that you have been enlightened how do u feel about the topic of COD MW 2 (NOT KILLZONE 2)

  34. Comment by thniped — March 12, 2009 @ 9:08 pm

    If you learn how to aim in killzone 2 it takes 6 shots for a kill, or 1 head shot get good guys and quit complaining.
