Author Profile: "I’m Games Editor for NowGamer.com, but also write for X360, Play, Games™, 360, Total PC Gaming, HD Review and Sci-fi Now." So basically a very Ambitious and Zealous XBOT writes an article about how I.W. hate the console wars, and how PS3 owners are the most annoying of the bunch. . . Absolutely no surprise here. Your profile alone makes you unworthy of crafting such an article. By being a Professional XBOX supporter, your article looses all credibility. Secondly I find it strange that a month before MW2 gets released, all we are seeing is XBOX360 gameplay and screen shots. . . .That is pretty odd. That doesn't seem like developers who are keen on making things "EQUAL". Just Hypocrisy of the highest extent. Did I mention MW2 Timed exclusive maps for the Xbox360 version ? It seems to me you clowns do not know what the meaning of equal is. I have alot more to say about this atrocious attempt to prove nothing to yourself and other brainless sheep, but for the sake of going to play the game of the year (uncharted 2), ill leave things as they are. You and your article are pathetic.

i totally agree with you they say their for equal but lets review...mw 1 was done on 360... mow2 done on 360 its not about who's is better but think about it it would benice for activision to show case it on ps3 not saying its better graphics but if you truley are for equality then show case it on ps3 to adverstise cause its basically what they are doin.... we probably will get hounded by the 360 fanboys for saying it but that will prove his and are point if you showcased the first one on 360 then "equally to the mw2 on ps3...iam quessing becasue their bundling it with the 360 thats why thier doing it thats all the more proves are point... thats all... so i do agree with you shadow keep them coming my friend...

Shadow did you even read this article? Honestly, if the developers say the gameplay will be as equal as possible, why would it matter if it is showcased on the PS3? Do you not trust the men and women making the products you buy? If you don't, why are you buying from them? From the looks, it seems you are a fanboy whom is looking for an excuse to bash the Xbox360. Nothing is wrong with either console. Again, NOTHING is WRONG with either console. The only major difference is its fan base. And the point of this article was not to bring to light that Modern Warfare 2 is being showcased on one console to try and trump the other. I am certain that if you just search the internet you can find Modern Warfare 2 being demonstrated on the PS3, so why are you trying to pick a fight over such a petty issue that isn't even correlated with this article? You, Shadow, are a prime example of what Infinity Ward was complaining about. Fanboys who favor one and loathe the other. The game is not about a console. The game is about a having a solid story with an interactive environment. Why does it matter if the shading is better on one? To be honest in my opinion it would be a good idea for them to showcase it on the PS3 as to appeal to a wider audience, but have you ever thought it may have been a convenience or economic issue? Maybe Infinity Ward, at the time of the demonstrations, does not have a PS3 at their disposal? Or Maybe it is more expensive for them to lob one console around to exhibitions than the other. Quit your pathetic, incoherent argumentative attempt to be a Sony Soldier.

IW have caused all this trouble, I know both SINGLE player games will be equal but the multiplayer clearly isnt, thats why PS3 owners are so pissed off! Thats why you lot are arguing with shadow master because you clearly dont understand, BOTH GAMES ARE NOT EQUAL! You XBs dont know what your defending! Oh and takis, how can it be more expensive to carry both consoles about? You're an idiot!

I quote: ""I’m Games Editor for NowGamer.com, but also write for X360, Play, Games™, 360, Total PC Gaming, HD Review and Sci-fi Now." So basically a very Ambitious" etc etc. What bearing does that have on an article? You do realise Play and GamesTM are both Playstation mags in one way or another? Ah, and that bio, it reeks of ambition, doesn't it? Do you even understand the words you write? And also, the quote in the article is from Infinity Ward - what makes you think Dan agrees? What's he meant to do, make up a false quote from IW about the 360 crowd? As if preferring one console or the other has an effect on this anyway. After all, I can imagine that YOU would be the only person in the whole world who would give a damn even if this article was aimed to insult. And, for the record, NowGamer don't decide how IW make their game, don't go giving them stick for it. They can only report what they have been given, right? "You and your article are pathetic." I guarantee you would not say that if Infinity Ward had given a 360 guy as an example (STRESS on >>EXAMPLE

You've said what I was thinking. Shadowmaster (master of what exactly? It certainly isn't reading comprehension and forming logical conclusions, that's for sure), you are indeed an idiot. Giving the article writer stick for reporting a quote from a completely different person - how does that work? Go on, enlighten me. I want to know what kind of logic you used when forming your poorly-thought-out rant.

My goodness people, this is a moot point if ever I saw one! It doesn't matter at all how IW or anyone else demonstrates their game, all that matters is the game, like Robert Bowling is reported to have said. Both consoles have their flaws and advantages, which is good because this competition pushes the respective developers to keep improving their machines. If I had the money, I would happily have both as both have their fair share of great games! I realise that the major gripe seems to be that MW2 has been (apparently, I never noticed) almost exclusively demo-ed on 360. Did anyone ever stop to think that, if it made a difference, then of course they'd demo on both! Clearly it must make no difference to the gameplay, and I ask mclaren04 to qualify what he says about the multiplayer being different on the different consoles. Grow up guys, at the end of the day, we all share the same hobby, and we're only arguing about whether we prefer our toast with butter or margarine... IT'S STILL ONLY F***ING TOAST!

“Fanboys........always good for a laugh”

I think Mclaren04's point was to do with the timed exclusive DLC on MW2, but since that is DLC I would have to assume that it isn't on the disc (I know some developers do put DLC on the disc and then when you pay they unlock it) ergo both PS3 and Xbox will have the same single player campaign and muliplayer modes, perks, weapons etc. sounds equal to me. As for Fanboys as a whole, you really need to take a step back and evaluate what is important in your life. There are way more important things going on in this world than when Call of Duty:MW 2 is releasing a couple of maps. Actually there are probably more important things going on in your toilet. Finally, in defence of Mr Howdle.....Leave him alone. *shakes fist*

“Map-packs...”
11
If a game is improved so vastly by the addition of a map pack... then it isn't a very good game. Let's face it, MW2 is going to be brilliant fun, and not because you'll have 101 different maps to play on, but because it's fun to get together with your mates and get your arse kicked by a team of American 12 year olds. Doesn't matter what maps you play, they'll still win....
