Gamers want to go against Activision
It is not the war of prices. It is the war of affordability. After the decision of Activision to raise the price of MW2 to £54.99 in the UK market, the angered gamers there are venting spleen and sharing one common sentiment. They have decided not to bend down.
The story of price hike has been flooded over the internet. It is being felt across it. Recently TotalGamingNetwork researched that 68% of its PC using readership is planning not to support the publishers. Even forums are flooded with movement against Modern Warfare 2.
Whatever be the case in Britain. It is very doubtful that any official boycott will make any impact on the sales of Modern Warfare 2 that is significant.
To be very honest, Activision is doing some disgusting act by price hike. People, who are boycotting the game, hope that MW2 meets with as little success as possible in the UK market. Well, I think no boycott can ever decide the fate of the game. It is totally in the hands of the mainstream gaming audience.
Give your thought.
2 be honest I don’t give a shit as long as it is worth it and anyway I’m getting the prestige so yay, first 2 coment
Thanks for bullying us activision, why should we have to pay £54.49 in the uk, when america will pay the SAME price as they paid for cod 4, its outrageous, just another EXCUSE to make money off the vulnerable. I personally take it as an insult but nobodys going to stop them, still even with the higher than normal price tag i will be buying MW2. Lucky buggers, they are lucky not to get a slap in the face right now…
if u are compaining then dont buy it. im not complaining and im going to buy it. if it was a 100 dollars i would still buy it.
that just takes the piss, americans can be right CUNTS at times
It would be gd if they give free copies away
I agree with Mark, i don’t care how much it is, modern warfare is still the best game on the xbox 360 by a million miles, hopefully if they improve upon it (which i’m sure they will) modern warfare 2 will easily justify its price increase… roll on November!!!!!
woah dude, if you wanna get pissed at activision for the price hike by all means go for it but do you really need to bash america…….like its the whole countrys fault??
I have no idea what you are all complaining. Over here in Australia it’s like $80 AUD for the standard version and when you do the currency conversions its more then what you pay for it in your own country normally.
EA and Activision are the worst offendors at syphoning money out of gamers’ hands any way they can. Total douchebags.
American people have nothing to do with our gov. foreign policies as well as what private independent companies do overseas, stop generalizing everything and saying “Americans” as if it’s everyday regular American citizens who are raising the prices.
Study you shit you un-educated stupid fuck. Activision has nothing to do with America other than it being based out of here. So as i said, think about what your saying when you get mad at “America” because 97% of the time this shit has nothing to do with America you stupid dumb “twat”- yea you don’t like it earthier
besides Americas better than you god damn country filled with all its poor malfunctioned people who bitch about a price hike because your currency isn’t worth shit, its your —–>>>>>Countries<<<<<—- fault(notice how i didn’t generalize like all the other people) not your own fault,But if you don’t like it then don’t buy MW2 and purchase a plane ticket into the side of a god damn mountain you stupid ignorant fucks
*—-don’t delete these post because of language, some people need to read things like this to be a little more educated on what their really saying when they say “America”—-*
£55 is ridiculous simply because thos will create a new benchmark for future games prices. This is a very inconsiderate move from a company with a massive fan base. How are prices like this justified (%18 increase? In an industry always complaining about piracy affecting margins, you have to wonder who the real pirates are? Good thing PS3 is universal eh? Wonder how well the torrents will do from this? Anyway one thing is for sure, ill NOT be buying this game in the UK and anyone who is willing to pay this price just think seriously…. Its not going to be “just another tenner” your paying for “just this game”. You will also be responsible for future price hikes. Show the Global economy how you mean to spend your hard earned (and taxed) cash by doing 3 things: DO NOT PRE-ORDER THIS GAME
DO NOT PURCHASE ON RELEASE DATE
DO NOT PURCHASE IN UK

“if u are complaining then dont buy it. im not complaining and im going to buy it. if it was a 100 pounds i would still buy it.”
My thoughts exactly
u guys need to go on youtube and check out this new online gameplay video. SHIT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
ok, AMERICA RULES fuck the UK your accent is annoying and it makes all the dudes sound like fags so stop fuckin crying that it went up 2 cents you shitty fuckin jewss ok im good
I fully intend on pirating the ever loving shit outta this game. I have 4 pc’s ready to go for seeding a torrent.
Nothing like paying more for less, right?
Take care, Fucktivision
It’s because of douce bags like Mark Berry, that companies keep hiking up prices overall. If consumers would just get together and agree on a fair price, then Activision could not get away with this sh1t.
bloody hell my pint of milk has gone up by 5p, bloody americans, it’s all your fault!!!!!!!
the new MP game play fottage is straight up ridiculous. it looks better than COD4: modern warfare…….didn’t think that was possible
AA-12 auto shotgun is confirmed for mulitplayer!!!! you can see it in the video at 0:25.
stop bitching the price barely went up you crying UK fucks
Its a dam game kids, go get a life…
Then they wonder why people pirate games !
Why don’t they sell the game 70 or 80 € like console games ?
Hay, hay hay… You guys are being just as bad as the guy who insulted America. Your now insulting all of the UK because of this one dumb ass idiot.
So stop being two faced guys. Sure rip on the guy who said it, but don’t go ripping on the whole of the UK for doing somthing you said is dumb when your doing it yourself.
And at the end of the day the whole world relys on the US dollar.. but it’s every ones fault. No ones to blame apart from Bush and Gordan Brown..
And like one of the users was saying, we are all moaning when in Australia they have had to pay theses prices for games for ages.
The only way to stop this kind of thing would be for a major percentage of gamers to boycot Modern Warfare 2.. But whtas the chance of that?
What a fucked up, corrupted world we live in.
sure are a lot of fat dumb cunt americans in here, get all there pants wet when someone insults american but have no problem returning the favour, way to be a hypocrite much
insult my country, go ahead, i dont give two shits what some fat motherfucking traitor with a monobrow who’s inbred like fuck thinks about me
xen you can gargle on a cock you stupid british monkey fuck!! america would stomp england’s face in so don’t go around thinkin you guys are so big and bad
anyways mw2 looks sickkkk…cant wait to use the thermal scanner
first of all ya british faggetss need to get ur shit straight >> you guys are useless fuckss who just stay talking shit about a 2 dollar price rise ….is not americas fault that your economy suckss balls ..this game is worth the price and if you want to boycott good luck with that ,,,”
who listens to british ppl anyways …dumb hoe
@JohnONolan
agree 100%
You wouldn’t be American if it wasn’t for us British kido. Your all British if you look back. Lol
@Jakko
Not Neccssarily some of us Americans are Spaniard, Irish, and Italian.
jakko are you trying to be funny? there are spanish, african, russian, asian, etc americns….simple history but even more so common sense
Well lets say you wouldn’t be speaking English. And probably wouldn’t be as powerfull country as you are today. So yeah, If it wasn’t for us you would be speaking Spanish or French. Plus the African Americans wouldn’t exist, us whites used them as slaves.. as bad as it sounds.
if there is a infinity ward’s developer reading…well guys tell to your boss Kotick to take a copy of MW2 and shove it up his @ss. retailers are starting preorders of MW2 at mild price of €74.
I don’t buy games at this price. Keep it in mind.
eh i hate the way how everybodys all on america bout this i would still buy it at that price and im not even american
What is this picture about? i see NBC logo and a guy wearing IW’s shirt and HULU at the bottom!
Where is this from?
Seriusly you guys need to get a life. Bitching and whining sending insults across comments left. ANyway ON TOPIC i don’t think enough people would boycott it and for you iddiots £5 isunt a $2 price hike its about $8. COd is a game full of arrogant kids though both from america and britan kind of like these websites either cockey dumb kids are people that are meant to be adults but act like retards
Modernwarfare 2 Looks worth £45 IMO so im goin for it if you care about £5 that much dont buy it
**sorry cockey kids are people that are meant to be adults but act like retarded kids
Fuck all you little nerdy ass British kids with your fucked up ass teeth and your fucked up ass accents, don’t fuck with America we’ll put a fat dick up your old queen and don’t think we’ll hesitate.
bitch
@VinnyB
You sir are an idiot! So you gonna pirate this on release! You sad fuck! I hope you get nicked boyo!
£55 what the fuck ive never seen it that high in the shops or even the internet its £45 at most im geting the hardened version for £60. A lot of games have gone from £40 up to £45 with the pond being worth jack shit.
@fuckyouXimbored
Americans are the one’s with the fucked up accent’s. English is our language your just allowed to use it.
Umm you would do it too…. if you had a company that has people working hard to make you the next gen game they want to know you’ll still buy even if its $150.00. so shut up and wait for it to hit the internet prices when its old. Or save up and get it.
damn people have no idea how to make a game and they complain about 10 bucks shit.
You’re all retards, apart from the people that are actually acting mature, just because some Britains are calling Americans silly little names you have to get all pissy about it, and vice versa, you all need to just shut the **** up. This is meant to be about a seperate company pricing MW2 and a higher price, not who has the most annoying accent.
And yeah, I’m British, doesn’t mean I’m siding with either country.
hahaha. i live in the US, so too bad for you euro suckers! USA USA!
