Modern Warfare 2 still tops UK chart
Even after two months of its release, Modern Warfare 2 is reigning supreme. It is not like other videogames that comes and goes. For it it is impossible to budge from the top spot in the UK videogaming chart.
Some are in a view that the launch of Mass Effect 2, space-based RPG from BioWare and Electronic Arts, might take down MW2. Let us wait and see whether the forthcoming games can or cannot bring down the top position of MW2.
In the United Kingdom videogaming chart the second spot is crowned to Assassin’s Creed 2 from Ubisoft. This is one of the games which maintained its launching date in the face of behemoth, but it has been rewarded with the second position.
In the chart, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games from SEGA is benefiting because of the arrival of Olympic events in real world. Wii Fit Plus has also gained and is now five against the earlier position of six.
The down sliding is FIFA 10 from EA Sports. It was on second position earlier but now it is in the fifth place. Just Dance has also gone down from fifth to seventh place.
What kind of weapons do you think will be in COD6?
Do you think they will have the same guns as they did in COD4? I assume they will have to have some of the same guns, how can you not have the AK47 and M4/M16. I suspect some of the less traditional guns like the P90 could possibly be replaced with some new non-main stream type guns which would be fine with me. Don’t get me wrong, the P90 is a great gun but change is always nice.
One of the few things Treyarch did correctly, and I do mean “few”, is they made it take much longer to rank up plus they added 65 levels instead of 55. And of course the prestige. So on COD4 you only had 55 levels while on COD5, if you count the prestiges, there are 650 levels! Except the reward for completing a prestige is crap, they should ahve offered some gold skins AND custom slot for each prestige at least.
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.
