Even the competitor now says that Modern Warfare 2 will be a great success. Ashley Cheng, the production director of Bethesda Game Studios (a pretty big video game developer and publisher) admitted on his blog that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would blow away its competition.
He said this while expressing his view on the holiday season of this year when lots of high-quality titles will be coming to the market around the world.
He said, “Not much coming out, in regards to AAA hardcore gamer’s games to stand up to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, other than Halo: ODST. Assassin’s Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Brutal Legend and Dragon Age are the other AAA that look like they will ship this year. The new Forza looks good, too.”
He also mentioned that Modern Warfare 2 will become the best selling on Xbox 360 or PS3. He also said that many big guns are late to release that is why MW2 is practically guaranteed to be very successful.
Readers and also those who regularly comments, put down your views on what Ashley Cheng said.

There were many interesting comments on the previous article about the questions of fans answered by the Editor of Modern Warfare 2. One of the comments also asked for more questions that were answered. Here are few of them.
One of the readers of Game Informer asked that will Infinity Ward make playing multiplayer free. He said that he have an Xbox 360 and he is yet to get a Gold membership. To this the Editor replied that Gold membership is necessary to play over Xbox Live as it is with other games. He added that Infinity Ward has always denied the rumors that there will be additional fees to play Modern Warfare 2.
One more interesting question was that will the dismemberment be similar to Call of duty World at War or not. The reply came that similar level of violence is expected to what is present in Infinity Ward’s last game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Somebody even asked whether the Modern Warfare 2 campaign be played with two players. It is not. It is only a single-player game was the reply.

Top video games industry analysts and also Activision predicts that that Modern Warfare 2 will be the largest selling game in this year. All are so confident that Activision is now going to pull out all of the stops in promoting the launch this game.
Through sources we have come to know that the entire promotion campaign is still in the final planning stages. The company is planning to start an aggressive marketing for the title in August. The main target of this aggressive marketing is to encourage gamers to pre-order the title. Sources also report that many rewards and incentives will also be offered to get gamers to plunk down their deposit for MW2 in advance.
The first MW title sold more than 13 million units on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms. For MW2, analysts believe that the title will be sold based on the name alone.
Some people even voice that the decision to spin the MW series off from the CoD fold may be a risky move. This is just because many of the gamers did not realize that this new branding move has taken place. But well, now it seems that Modern Warfare 2 has also made its own identity.

Gamasutra reveals that Halo 3: ODST as of now is the most anticipated Xbox 360 game. This is followed very closely by Modern Warfare 2. If we closely cross check the data, it is learned that ODST is in fact the game with the highest “intent to purchase.” Modern Warfare 2 has the highest pre-order intent according to the research report.
It is not a surprise that Halo is a monster franchise, a franchise that is very co-op friendly. Despite 4 of the Halo games i.e. 1,2, 3 and Halo Wars gamers have an insatiable appetite to kick.
It is reflected that for somewhat more dedicated audience the figure represents the proportion of planned purchasers who say they will put advance money down.
If Infinitiy Ward adds a true 4 player co-op mode then gamers will be putting money down as well.
After Halo 3: ODST and MW2 there is in the race Madden NFL ’10 with 15% expressing intent on purchasing if compared with close to 25% of Microsoft gamers planning an ODST or MW2 purchase.

GamePlan, a research group, gives a data that Halo 3: ODST is the most wanted Xbox 360 title. Modern Warfare 2 in the second place according to their research.
Both, the ODST and the Modern Warfare 2 are sequels in famed franchises, but unlike others on the list represent nearly a quarter of all Xbox 360 gamers. Isn’t it impressive.
Apart from ODST and MW2, the next in the race is Madden NFL ’10. It is on the third position having only 15% expressing intent on purchasing if compared with close to 25% of Microsoft gamers planning an ODST or MW2 purchase.
The best part of MW2 is that the intent to purchase and pre-order tallies are nearly even in comparison to a much wider discrepancy among future ODST gamers. Is it understandable?
The answer of this may be that either the Halo fans are lazy bums who know ODST would not be in short supply come fall, or else they are waiting for further more juicy details from the secretive Bungie Studios about the title before deciding if the investment is absolutely worth it.
GamePlan collected the data from 1,000 gamers every week across numerous demographics from March to April this year.
