Best Modern Warfare 2 experience is on 360, Microsoft says |
|
| BY Rangebar Merani Sep. 28th, 2009 | More on: |
Well, this is no shocker. Microsoft Senior Regional Director for Entertainment, Neil Thompson, told MCV that Modern Warfare 2 will be best experienced on the Xbox 360. You don’t say.
“We want to offer people the best possible Modern Warfare 2 experience,” said Thompson. “We firmly believe that with LIVE services, the quality of the gaming experience on 360, and all the new ways we can get consumers engaged with the IP that Xbox is the best platform to experience this great game.”
He then went on to say, “we firmly believe that 360 will be the lead sales platform for Modern Warfare 2.”
Thompson’s words should come as no surprise really since the original Modern Warfare did sell more copies on the 360 than it did on the PS3 and PC. I myself will actually be picking up MW2 for my 360, instead of my new PS3 Slim. How bout you guys? Are you picking up MW2 for the 360, PS3 or PC? Hit up the comments section and let us know.

Be careful Emmanuel, I’ve been called a blasphemer for saying less :)
And 360 for me probably, just have the habit of getting all multi-plat games for my 360. All my online friends are on the 360 as well.

i disagree.
any FPS is best experience on the PC, not only for the control scheme but the Mod community that goes with PC titles for added content.
i cant think why anyone would prefer to play an fps on a console if they had a pc capable
consoles are only just catching up with features existent on the pc for many years.

I agree with Thompson, I think it’ll sell a lot more, but I think combined with all systems, it become one of the highest bought games ever.
I myself bought the Limited Edition Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360. I’ll be very pleased come November 10th.

Well seeing as Activision said “Hmm, people in the UK can pay more for this.” I’ve decided to buy no version at all.

i wont be buying it at all. i loved mw on my ps3 (i preferred it to the 360 but i wned both versions)
but i refuse to buy games wwhere the ps3 version is inferior, due to the publisher making deals.
if its multi platform it should be just as good across all platorms in my oppinion and the ps3 is deffinatly my console of choice.
theyre giving the 360 a better product for some extra cash.well if thats the case i simply wont buy their game and will givwe them $0.
maybe in 2-3 weeks i’ll pick up a used copy and give gamestop $55 and activison $0.
funny cause i was comsidering pre ordering but decided not to when i found out the plans of making my version inferior. i reserved uncharted 2 instead.

WHAT? AN EMPLOYEE OF MICROSOFT THINKS THE XBOX IS THE CHOICE PLATFORM? STOP THE PRESSES!

PC def is best gaming platform hands down. I wish more people would buy games for their ps3 so we could catch up a little bit. XBL usually averages 120k on any given night; ps3 averages 85k.

I use my 360 for all gaming, and dust off my PS3 when a good exclusive comes out.

I’m not a PC gamer by any means. Hell, I own a Mac haha. But I agree with most if you in the way I buy most of my mulitplayer online games for my 360 because of Xbox Live and I have lots of friends/family on Xbox Live.

PS3 for me because i live in mexico and i have to create a new account and all since they don’t sell USA XBL cards. Also I seem to like the PS3 better. I don’t think that there will be much of a difference online because both consoles will have so many people playing online that you won’t feel any difference. Also I have already experienced 3 RROD and i don’t want to get a 4th because of non stop playing. Also PSN is free and is now at the same level as XBL in my opinion. Also my 360 scratches the hell out of my disks. I get only 360 exclusives on the 360 or versions that are better.

I think that both versions will be equal because even the PS3 version being outsold by 360, Activition gets more $ out of the PS3 versions than Microsoft can afford to give to make one inferior. I still think that the only difference will be the ratio of people online with the consoles. Maybe a 3:1. but 30 million is a big difference to 10 million but you can’t put 10 million in a match so i don’t think that you will notice a difference. And PSN get a lot more updates than XBL so it will not be long before PSN surpasses because now they are at the same level. (It took a while but it was and will be worth the wait.) If anything the only difference will be the servers crashing and the realese week not being so good. But maybe the 360 version will crash instead because of so many people online. That would be funny.

This comment from M$ just seems like flame bait for fanboys to me. It’s really kind of an irresponsible comment. @UPTOWN the reason I comment on posts like this is to show that we here at TVGB aren’t just fanboy suck ups and we have a balanced outlook on gaming. Some of us just don’t buy the hype and for me, games like this simply have no appeal to me. I played the demo for the first Modern Warfare and it failed to entice me. I’m just simply not interested in a modern warfare setting outside of a multiplayer game.

Don’t have a PS3, but would certainly get it for 360 anyway because of the online community. By the way, am I the only one who thinks prestiged players should have to rank up in additional playlist? Remember when we all cleared “boot camp”? We couldn’t go back to that right? Prestiged players shouldn’t be able to pad their scores with high ranked players who only got that way over a long period of time…just a thought.

>I’m just simply not interested in a modern warfare setting outside of a multiplayer game.
This sentence is inconsistent with the rest of your post Emmanuel. This is a modern warfare setting INSIDE a multiplayer game.
Whatever…
PC all the way. I don’t enjoy console FPS’s. Controllers have nothing on good ol’ fashioned mouse and keyboard.

The PC version of MW2 has no dedicated servers,no mod tools or map editor.Nuff said
