Infinity Ward Just Hours From Curing All World’s Problems
Modern Warfare 2 Midnight Launch Parties
This right here was the scene outside of one of my local GameStop’s as I made my way to my favorite sports bar (Oggi’s Eastlake in Chula Vista, CA. Check them out HERE and GO STEELERS!!!) Naturally, I assumed they were taking army sign-ups so I went in to see what all the fuss was about. The very respectful employee informed me that some game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is being released tonight at midnight and that to celebrate the release, they set this up outside. I informed him I’d been living under a rock for the past two years and was unaware this game even existed. He thanked me for stopping by and politely turned me down when I asked to pre-order Elebits 2.
Yes, Modern Warfare 2 is going to be this big. And you know what? I want it to outsell every video game ever.
Why? Well for starters I’m a big supporter of what Infinity Ward has done to the shooter genre and am just ga-ga over their work in Modern Warfare. Everything I’ve seen, read, and followed about this installment basically tells me they’re not going to drop the ball and deliver a game that’s going to perfect and define the first-person shooter. Time and again, Infinity Ward delivers with gripping controls, smart AI, and games that don’t drag with their stories. At midnight tonight, the bulk of us will find out if this is just another genre shooter or if this truly does redefine what it is to be an FPS.
While my review of the game won’t be for a couple of days (I don’t get review copies….yet,) rest assured after the Steelers/Broncos* game I will be dashing over to GameStop to wait in line with the rest of the crazed maniacs who have been craving for this game ever since it was announced. I thought about doing a live blog, but have instead decided to just do live tweets on Twitter from waiting in line. You can follow me and all the action here.
Oh, and I will be getting the game for PS3 so anyone who wants to join me for Spec-Ops or multiplayer, my PSN ID is Saveus1011. Hope to see you on there.
*I might not be posting here tomorrow. Not because of how into this game I will be, but due to the fact Erik is a Broncos fan. He might go on a rampage if my guys put a wallop on his team. GO STEELERS!!!!
The Donkeys are going to get you, Philip.
We'll see about that sir.

Apparently you haven't been reading very much, especially regarding the PC version.
