Activision: Modern Warfare 2 Could Be Biggest

There are big expectations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game's pre-order numbers are setting up for a massive launch for the latest Call of Duty. During an investor call discussing Activision's quarterly financial results, however, CEO Bobby Kotick set expectations even higher.

Kotick expects Modern Warfare 2 to produce the "largest video game launch of all time" and just moments later, Kotick even went one step further, predicting Infinity Ward's latest could be "one of the largest entertainment launches of any media of all time."

The last time we heard this kind of rhetoric was Halo 3. Can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the hype?

    Modern War Fare 2 is the next best game to Metal Gear Solid Guns of the Patriots.

    We can possibly be on the edge of playing one of the most historic games in video game history

    Ive never been a fan of the CoD franchise but this might just change my mind. I'll ask for it for Xmas. What I'm really excited about is L4D2. Im happy for CoD and ready to embrace it.

    MW2 will live up to the hype unlike Halo 3.

    Yeah I am having fun with the MAG beta so I'll be passing on MW2 for now. Getting AC2 instead.

    I'm not buying it, yeah the matching system is ok for quick play and junk but they should've added it on not cut off the old way. I mean I'd get it if I could still play how I do and casuals can quickly join a match but no...

    No. CoD MW2 will not surpass Halo 3 for the Biggest Launch Ever Award. It will not.

    MW2 looks alright. Not really giving a crap about it so far. I personally hope it fails to be anything less than average saleswise just to make IW learn to do what their customers want.
