CoD6 will be the largest entertainment launch of 2009

Posted by herald On June - 14 - 2009

Everytime the new sequel of Call of Duty is making a headline. Everytime it is leaking or announcing some of the most challenging news in the gaming industry. Recently the media was struck saying that the maker of the game is claiming that the Call of Duty 6 will be a huge success. Why not? Its true and none of us really doubt the sales potential of Modern Warfare 2.

Just a week or two before Activision said to the media that this much awaited game will be the “largest entertainment launch of 2009.” It is also estimated by experts that the sales of Modern Warfare 2 could hit 11.1 million units in 2009 i.e. in only 6 weeks of sales. It is also estimated that on the first day itself the game will make total revenue of $338 million.

Prediction also comes from Gamasutra that this series of CoD will be the largest video game release of the year.

Janco Partners’ Mike Hickey says, “Given our CY09 sell through estimates for Modern Warfare 2, its possible that the game could be one of the largest entertainment releases of all time. If you assume similar channel unit sales velocity as GTA IV, the game could potentially sell through 7.8 million units globally with an estimated retail value of more than $569 million in the first week.”

    Ok only reason I’m posting this “wish list” for MW2 online is because this is the most current page, so don’t bitch about how long it is.

    Things I think should be in MW2:
    Stopping Power: Should be an attachment, not a perk, because it’s overused, and let it make guns have more recoil when they shoot, so it can balance out.
    Juggernaut: Instead call it “Heavy Armor” and make your character run slower, so you may survive a good shot, but now you’re a slower runner and may get hit again. Just balance them out.
    Eavesdrop: Pointless. Don’t have it in the game.
    Martyrdom: Only activated if you’re killed by gunfire to the body. Explosives and headshots shouldn’t activate it.
    Deep Impact: Keep it, now that stopping power is an attachment, it shouldn’t be a problem.
    Bayonets: They should still have these for modern weapons. For close up combat military troops still use these on their assault rifles, so keep them!
    Sniper Rifles: Let them have silencers, but make them less accurate.
    Ghillie Suits: Have them be First Perk because not all snipers wear Ghillie Suits in real life, and it can really help silenced weapon players and shot gunners possibly.
    Red Dot Sights on Shotguns: Once again, pointless. Replace with bayonet or something.
    Shot Gun Range: Make it realistic, not a ten-foot range, because I use shotguns quite a bit, and if the enemy backs up even 15 feet away, I still don’t hit them and then I die. Change it soon.
    Machine Gun Attachments: Make the attachment of a Grip a Bipod, because I shouldn’t have to give up my first perk just to make my LMG a little more accurate.
    Levels: The levels should go to 75 now instead of 65.
    Weapons and How to earn them: Instead of earning them through levels, you should have to buy them with the points you have scored. Make a new little section next to Barracks called “The Armory” and here you can buy every weapon available in Online Gameplay. This way higher level people don’t necessarily have to be the ones with the best guns in the game. Still of course have the first five beginner weapons like always though. Attachments and Camouflage Designs are earned through challenges still as well as Perks through leveling up.
    Grenades: Make the blast radius not completely fatal, because if you’re practically out of range, why should it kill you, oh yeah, it shouldn’t.
    Riot Shields: Have them be in the First Perk section, and when carrying the shield, it should be able to take infinite gunfire, but you must be pressing the trigger button to shield yourself (front only) and you cannot use weapons when shield is active.

  12. J5 Said,

    Oh and when concerning the “buying the weapons” thing, you can only buy certain weapons once you have reached level point of either 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75.

  13. Wtf Said,

    Just want to make a statement on J5.

    I mean yeah, he’s right on many things but there’s some things in his wishlist that won’t happen.

    First, Stopping Power and Juggernaught have to stay as Perks, otherwise they’ll ruin the whole concept of perks and attachments.

    Second, 75 levels? COME ON MAN, it’s a pain in the ass just to get to 65, let alone 75. So no, Infinity Ward should stay with Call of Duty 4’s 55 level system. Don’t argue, most people love this point.

    Last point, Again, the fact that you’ll have to buy weapons will ruin the Call of Duty tradition of FREE weapons, so no, that’ll be impossible.

    But you do make very good points on other things. The riot shield thing, I’d say will have limited health but it is a definite, 80% to what you have said about it might happen.

  14. J5 Said,

    Well thank you Wtf, and yeah they’re just ideas.
    And I did think it over, and 55-65 levels is actually plenty
    75 does sound kinda extreme otherwise
    But I’m so sick of Stopping Power, I want it removed.
    And Juggernaut did stay as a perk, just named something else.

Electronic Arts (EA) been throwing punches at Modern Warfare 2 for sometime claiming that the new Battlefield: Bad Company from the DICE studio would have dedicated servers for the PC gamers. It will be valuing the importance of PC gameplay and also customization of it.
electronicarts
Jens Uwe, headmaster of the European division of EA, said in an interview on Friday, “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty… The shooter space is one we don’t want to give up. It’s an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.”

One who has played first Bad Company as well as the Modern Warfare titles may be knowing well that the games are very different in style and also in gunplay. We may also have found out that DICE is on the way of making some changes in it such as making the enemies more easier to kill to fall in line.
