Agreed. But, it would be interesting to see the price per sale figures for each. I see W@W hitting the bargain bin pretty quick. Hell, I was still amazed that you could find it for $40 before Xmas...

And, there is just no comparison to monster trucks. They are awesome.

I think this has more to do with the bad economy and terrible Christmas season than anything about the game. EVERYTHING was on sale in December.

Dammit I said I wouldnt comment on the subject again. But you guys know how to hit my spot lol. Id also wonder if there was stat for the hours played online & number of players online for each game. I know there are plenty of COD4 fans like myself, who picked up COD5 out of pure curiousity. Played COD5 for a while, and then went back to playing COD4.

Regardless of how you stack it.. Modern Warfare still dominates!

P.S. Gravedigger is my favourite monster truck.. lol

Is that now to now, or 3.5 months into for 4 and 3.5 months into for 5? Apples and oranges again. Newness factor, etc.

no, they rank it weekly, # of unique users online for that week... COD5 has been consistently ahead of COD4 since launch, and even ahead of halo 3 every other week.


you guys all know i only like COD4.... i'm just putting out the facts .... newness factor or not, the points brought to attention were that people bought 5 and went back to four, or that 5 was a failure.... but people are clearly playing it more, even if its crappier (which it definitely is )

Or there are folks like my dad, who has played the **** out of both.

I think only MS, Sony, and Activision know the answer to that question.

I mean, CoD4 is a more popular game, but CoD5 is still one of the most popular. Both games did really, extraordinarily well, I never would've guessed based on the (still very big) success of CoD1-3.

If COD4 wasn't out there, WAW would have been one of the best FPS experiences on console.

very True. If neither COD was here, Halo 3 would still be that slow ass moon physics based game...

COD 4 was an epic fail in every category. I have to say Treyarch makes a way better COD. In order of greatness here are my picks.

COD 5, COD 2, COD 3, COD 1, COD 4

I doubt I will even buy "Modern Warfare 2"

Cod4 had the same pricing nearly 40 every other week after launch. It's obviously Activision's own strategy not an indication of quality

To be fair Treyarch hasn't made one full game (no new engine) in the franchise it is the designated expansion pack maker and has less time and, likely, budget than Infinity Ward.

I am sure I will pick up MW2 when it comes out but I hope it has better maps than the original. I like the style of maps in WAW much better than MW. To me the maps in MW feel like you are confined to a back yard.

It seems as though, to me, Treyarch made the multiplayer maps in W@W not as twitchy as in MW. Everytime I have played W@W I always got the feeling it was a campers/snipers paradise. There are so many places to hide or to snipe from and if it is in HC it can be damn near impossible to find a good camper/sniper.

It seems like Infinity Ward based their multiplayer maps on the same concept as Halo, 30 seconds of action. I have spent 30 seconds just trying to make my way back to the fighting in W@W.

Now it is not a knock against either game because I have had some fun playing both online. But I think they are different in the style of play each was trying to achieve.

I played the battlefield Demo and that was one of the reasons that I didn't go out and buy it. I liked how MW was just that, a modern warfare with MP firefights in someone's backyard. I mean the maps are small to promote more gaming.

For instance, the larger map one could argue would be creek and it doesn't take 30 seconds to go from one spawn point to another. Sure if you are new, yes, it takes a while since you don't know where to go but if you're a seasoned vet, you know where to go. It's like how F1 drivers have race lines. From the bottom spawn, rush toward the left, into the save, avoid the walls and getting hung up. Halfway through the cave, pull a grenade and start cooking it. Once you see daylight toss it towards the hole and hopefully someone from the top spawn is also thinking the same or just being slow. From the top spawn, start running towards the cave. Halfway between the bottom of the hill and the mouth of the cave, pull the grenade out to start cooking it and once you see the mouth of the tunnel, try and aim it there.

Even on bog, I have had much success using the shotgun. Yes, Bog where 100% of the time there is at least 1 person sniping...

In COD5, I think they did a good job of nerfing finding people. Be it through unbalanced spawn points. I've had some fun times in Castle, Dome but that's about it...all the other maps have been annoyingly big to the point where I would get bored just trying to run around for 2 minutes and not find anyone. The one with the train tracks in the middle is the one that I loathe the most. It's like Valhalla without the vehicles.

That is bad a**. Add in about 12v12 or maybe 24v24 and about a 30 minute limit and that would be great.

Is there an achievement for killing everyone on the other team at least once? If not I would like to see that included. Even though I don't normally pay too much attention to them.

yeah there's already a challenge for that...tango down

I personally love the ones where you have to directly hit them with a non lethal grenade. Embarrassing for them, satisfying for me...

oh and the one where I kill an enemy and kill them with their weapon is also funny! Oh and the ones where you have to get 50 kills with a direct impact off of a grenade launcher are also fun!

Yeah I love the humiliation challenges. Kill someone and take his gun and then kill him with his own gun is the best. LOL

My personal fav is kill someone with a grenade, direct impact, not from a launcher, but actually throw a grenade and hit them with it and that be the kill shot. It's hard to pull off when you are unloading on the guy then you have to change pace and quick toss a grenade at their head but there is something extremely satisfying about it.

best way to get those is to find some relatively new players who are trying to get the last stand challenge and once you get them down, try to draw as many bullets from them as possible so that they would have to reload, sprint up but not to close because they can still knife you and take them out with a direct hit smoke/flash/stun/explosive grenade. For added style points, make a sound when you do it, even if you are by yourself, it's funnier! (*TING*)
