	Well, I believe gamestop said it had the most pre-orders ever to go through their stores. Gamestop is probably the #1 gaming center in America. quote When a chain with 6,200 stores says that they've never had a game with as much pre-orders, that's gotta say a lot about how much demand there is for a game. Such were the words of GameStop's executive VP for merchandising and marketing, Tony Bartel, about Modern Warfare 2. In fact, the anticipation for the game is so massive that they're expecting the game's release to be "the biggest entertainment launch of all time." Sharing a few words with Game Hunters, Bartel revealed that Modern Warfare 2's launch next week would be record-breaking. "By all indicators, we anticipate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time," he said. "As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we've taken for the game is the highest for any title we've ever sold in our 6200 store network." Big words, especially considering that he used "entertainment," not simply limiting his statement to gaming. Though it'd be difficult to scale and measure the launching of various forms of entertainment media, it's safe to put the Modern Warfare 2 release in the It's-Pretty-Damn-Big category. At any rate, it seems that the GameStop exec was only hyping the affair up with that statement. Fact remains, however, that GameStop has not had a game with so many pre-orders - a clear indication of demand (or quality of pre-order swag). We'll be keeping tabs on the sales once Modern Warfare 2 launches on November 10th for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Source i would say true, simply because of the pre-order numbers. -------------------

	"Mordern Warefare 2" ------------------- Galileo was imprisoned by the church. For exposing that the earth was not at the centre of the universe. So in 1616 they already had control of what they thought you and I were allowed to know.

	I believe it has already passed Halo 3 in terms of pre-orders and it will probably surpass Halo 3 total sales pretty quickly. -------------------

Rude_boy_loves_ska In the Army now. Hooah? Still Seekin' since: Jul 2005	Nov 06, 09 at 9:47pm re: Modern Warefare 2: Most Anticipated Game of the Decade
	Eh. I'll pick it up eventually. I'm buying Assassins Creed 2 on release day, a week later. Still haven't beat Borderlands. If I see it somewhere here on base, I'll probably pick it up. I've never had a problem getting even highly-anticipated games on release day. And I'm not standing in line on midnight just to buy a video game. But unless they just happen to have it, and I just happen to be at the PX, I'll pass. -------------------

	Most Anticipated game? Nah Most annoying game to hear about of the decade? Yup! I'm seriously sick of hearing about this pile of crap for a game, it's so damn annoying that such a generic shooter is getting so much damn hype. I hope to god it annoys people and doesn't live up to this hype at all. Call of Duty: Yet another generic war game 2. ------------------- FFF <3's Sazzii

Seriously, this must be about the 4th time i've heard it from you now. God help you if i ever come into your precious final fantasy threads just to sprout out my dislike and a shit name i made up for it, i mean, it's not like that overrated series never lived up to it's hype..no..no? -------------------
