usually a couple million nowadays.

That's roughly 13 million copies sold if I did the math right.

and they still insist that they "have to" charge for the DLC when they have had 4 games in a row set all sorts of records. W@W, MW2, black ops , and Mw3.

People argue that it's a good business model, and it is. But it still sucks major ass.

They're a bunch of pathetic con-artists.

That's why I'm done with Call of Duty/Medal Of Honor/Battlefield/Activsion/EA.

To pay $60 for the game, then another $60 for the expansion packs, only to get the same recycled game the next year anyway.

NO DLC (for call of duty anyway, the dlc for Fallout 3 was pretty awesome and alot more bang for the buck) for me.

I'll pick up MW3 around christmas time. I'm still loving BF3 on the PS3. In fact will probably log on in a few. :p

Go figure this would turn into a Battlefield Vs. Call of Duty. The CoD franchise is a huge success. I personally enjoy playing it. I've tried the beta of BF3 and all I it was is a lot of running and being shot by campers laying in the grass. To me that wasn't fun, but if people like it more power to them. It doesn't make it worse or better than CoD. CoD has it's problems as well. Hell, all games have their bugs, glitches and hiccups.
It's just amazing that a game has made $775,000,000 in 5 days.
I'm surprised Hollywood isn't gunning to do the Modern Warfare movie.

Hollywood has its hands full with Assassin's Creed and possibly Halo

I am fucking up big time. Trying to get the urge to play video games. I bought PS3 and XBOX 360 with some of the better titles and don't play. I get myself excited enough to buy another game later only to have it remain in the plastic for months. I think I just like buying stuff just to own it.

I'm terrible. I wish there were a game where you just throw people in a van and disappear them. I'd understand that one.

Halo has been in development hell for years. I can't see it ever getting made and is Halo even a big deal anymore?

I heard Gears of War is trying to get made to with The Rock has Marcus Fenix. As big as the Rock is now, I could see him playing the part. That dude is a monster again.

I believe the budget is around $70 Million probably. Activision stated with the release of MW2 the budget was $50 Million. Seeing as how they did the live action trailer, Call of Duty XP, I would guess around $70 Million. That does not mean they used the whole amount, The budget also goes to Salaries as well, and seeing as how both Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward both worked on the game, it had to be a big budget.

Teamwork in a MW game? Doesn't exist. Try Battlefield for that.
