Modern Warfare 2 PC Review

[rudedog]

Because for the first time in Call of Duty franchise history we did not receive a PC review copy (who would have guessed -NVG3D-) we're posting this one short and to the point graphic depicting the overall user review score from none other then IGN. The mega gaming media site, that has it's "finger on the pulse" of their community.

- Click here (http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1043744p1.html) to read their amazing review and try and figure out why they scored the game at a record 9.5 while their "reader average" scored it at 1.3. It should be noted that while writing this review :rolleyes:, the reader score went from 1.5 down to 1.4.

This now ends our Modern Warfare 2 coverage.

Truly speaking what they've done is yield to the BUX furnished in advert monies.

Had they told the TRUTH in Mark Bozon's review... well, you know the end result there.

We have been subjected to more, wowie-zowie - suck 'em, in brown nosing.

SHAME ON YOU IGN!

Do I remember right, is there now a law in the US that requires websites to disclose how much they get paid to write reviews?

I wonder how much they got paid???

[Pendragon]

I have written them a little email...

How much have ign been paid for the review of MW2?.

Did the reviewer play the game on a PC?

Will the game be reviewed again after the masses get online using IW.net? So MP game can be compared in real world situation?

Did Mark Bozon have to sell any part of his soul in order to write this?

Absolutely correct.... the Federal Trade Commission handles this sort of thing.

Spot on with that, its all about the dollars and nothinng more. If IGN told the truth and didnt try to pull a fast one then they would have gotten the boot.

M O N E Y

In one simple short word and that is all that IGN cares about.

[YewNork]

LOL, even some of the people who could care-less about dedicated servers are complaining that IGN's review is way too high. check out some of the user reviews

[Pcgamer]

At the time of this post they show 23 reader reviews. Looks like they removed some reader reviews and presto... rating shoots up.
Sounds fair to me.

IGN rating system is now unfair and controlled. Thanks IGN!

[Wolverine]

Hmmm, I just looked and there are 50+ reader reviews up there with an overall rating of 1.3.

[Pcgamer]

This is what I see... looks a lot different from the one Rudedog posted.

Nope again, I was right.... try this link and you will see what RD found...you were looking at the xbox ranking

IGN has secured a limited number keys for its members residing in NORTH AMERICA.

Subscriber Keys - Keys Available

Kiss my #%$ IGN

This is selling keys plain and simple.

Love the replys in this thread i wonder did any of you played it yet? RD did you i wonder what your oppinion is about the MW2 and the IW.net MP.

[rudedog]

I have have not purchased it nor have I played it. I was on the fence in regards to purchasing the title for review only but after seeing how much more limited it was out of the box, there is no need.

We've posted another review here (http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18984) by a third party site, which seems unbiased.

As of right now I'm holding tight, as Modern Warfare 2 offers a community dedicated to hosting dedicated servers, nothing.

We're still recommending our members wait until the first patch or steam has a 50% off sale.

There are a few guys in the community who where installing late last night and we await their opinions and will link to them as soon as they become available online.

They already added a comment at the end:

"Should Infinity Ward have included more expandability across PC – be it in more players online, dedicated servers, or through other avenues – the PC version would have been reviewed as such, and the added features would have (we can only assume) helped the version go above and beyond its console counterparts. Seeing as it's the same core experience, however, we are reviewing it as such, and the game should be looked at as the same value and overall package as any other console."

[Mike Nomad]

Regardless of all the hype.....


Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 dies NOT offer the value previous version have. Further the ripoffs of modder and mapper IP works and put to use in MW2 is nothing short of LARCENY.

Infinity Ward has reach an all-time low in their policies and practices thus destroying any good reputation and high levels of respect and integrity they once enjoyed. Simply put .. as of this release, they cannot be trusted.
