Modern Warfare 2 vs Avatar
Modern Warfare 2 and the Hollywood movie Avatar have one thing in common and that is both have pulled in sales of over 1 billion dollars.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the biggest entertainment release in the history of video game industry and Avatar movie has steadily pulled in millions per week.
Now it seems that games and movies both compete with each other for audiences’ attention and also for entertainment dollars.
We have seen that the release of GTA IV and Halo 3 led to a decline in theater attendance because millions of gamers stayed at home. The release of MW2 outpaced that of any Harry Potter book and also any movie in the history of entertainment industry in terms of sales in one week.
With the mark of 1billion sales of MW2 and Avatar each, it is nowhere evident of competing films and games.
Avatar is a stunning experience and it is also the second-highest grossing film in the history. Modern Warfare 2 topped the sales of the year NPD report revealed, though it was just released two months ago.
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.
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.
AVATAR WAS THE BEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD MY FAVORITE! BUT THE COD6 GAME WAS A HUGE HIT I THINK AVATAR WOULD BE A BETTER MOVIE AND COD6 IS A BETTER GAME…
