CoD6 ranks second on Xbox most wanted
Modern Warfare 2 or else CoD6 is the second most wanted on the Xbox 360. This is revealed from the data of GamePlan, a research group. The data shows that Halo 3: ODST is the most wanted Xbox 360 title. Modern Warfare 2 is followed.
ODST and the MW2 are the sequels in famed franchises, but not like others on the list represent nearly a quarter of all Xbox 360 gamers. Isn’t it impressive.

Next after CoD6 in the race is Madden NFL ’10. It has only 15% expressing intent on purchasing if compared with close to 25% of Microsoft gamers planning an ODST or MW2 purchase.
It is a bit interesting that MW2’s intent to purchase and pre-order tallies are nearly even in comparison to a much wider discrepancy among future ODST gamers. Why it is so?
The answer to this question may be that the fans of Halo are lazy bums who know ODST would not be in short supply come fall and if not then else they are waiting for further more juicy details of the game from the secretive Bungie Studios about the title before deciding if the investment is completely worth it.
Every imaginable finishing touch is worked on Modern Warfare 2
The most awaited game in the history of video games is Infinity Ward’s COD6 and the final touch of it is in full swing at the developers end. They are working dedicatedly and sincerely on this game also known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2). Activision has already launched a teaser web site of the game along with a teaser trailer and also logo. Brand manager Simon Wells said in a press brief recently that it is expected this game will become the highest selling in the history of video games.
The game is going to be launched on November 10th this year and such statement of Simon Wells comes when the NPD group released a sales report of video games that the March revenues for the video game industry has dropped by 17% as compared to last year.
CEO of Infinity Ward, Vince Zampella, said to the media on the MW2 that no detail is too small for the Infinity Ward and every imaginable finishing touch is on the way to make COD6 to be the best ever game till date. He also added further that he cannot make the fans world wide to wait further after November 10th to play it.

Mentioning about the team Zampella said that each and every member in the team is laser focused on making the most gripping experience that they have ever created.
Ever been banned for hacking only you weren’t actually hacking?
UPDATE: Here is the thread. Someone else even comes in and tries to tell them they ban a bit too fast and names off other people they banned for no reason.
So have you ever been banned from a server for hacking? Some of you have probably been banned for hacking because you were hacking, but it’s a different story when you weren’t actually hacking.
It’s a weird feeling, at first you’re angry and pissed off. After 20min or so you get a nice feeling because you were playing so good they actually thought you must have been cheating, there really is no better compliment in a video game than being banned for hacking when in fact you were not hacking.
I haven’t been banned form a server for a couple months like this, it’s almost nice for a change. I wasn’t even angry or rude in the thread I made on the clans site until some needle dick came in running his mouth and being rude, then I went ahead and let them have it. [picture contains NSFW words]
The clan in question is [CAg] which I thought was a decent clan. I notice them in many of the S&D servers I visit so I really didn’t expect this, figured they wouldn’t be this noobish.
So there it is, I just wanted to publicly vent. Not a big deal, I can find a different server to play on but I did like the server. It was a SC S&D server with killcam and a decent map rotation. I’m actually looking for a new “home” server, I play on NoBS server a lot and they’re cool people, decent map rotation, but I want to find a server where the players are mostly all better than me. You can’t get better unless you play with people who are better than you. Unfortunately I’m in a weird spot and it’s starting to look like my only option is a ProMod server which I really am trying to hold off on. ProMod is OK but the people who play there take the shit WAY seriously, I kind of like a more laid back environment.
I am trying to work with the |mele| clan as we speak to find our own server. I am offering a blogroll link on both this site and modernwarfare2.net in exchange for a free COD4 server. INX Gaming gave us a server but it was in the UK and our pings were horrible so we had to scrap the deal. If anyone knows of a U.S. based game server host that wants an awesome link in exchange let them know about me, or let me know about them. These two sites get well over 200k unique visitors per month of highly targeted traffic.

The styles of the game is similar to the MW2 and BBC2, but MoH appears to concentrate on points and not focus on kills as MW2 does.
