Modern Warfare 2 is GameStop's most pre-ordered game ever
by Justin McElroy

Some may have been up in arms about arguably disturbing material and unarguably juvenile advertising in and for Modern Warfare 2, but it doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stifling anticipation for the game. In fact, GameStop told Game Hunters that Infinity Ward's baby is the most pre-ordered title in the company's history. Like ... ever. GameStop VP Tony Bartel told the site, "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 6,200 store network."

So feel free to grouse all you want, but unless Activision replaces the FPS gameplay with first-person putting puppies into a wood chipper and renames it Osama bin Laden Pushes Jesus Christ Down a Flight of Stairs Made of Baby Skulls, we're not sure there's any amount of controversy that's going to slow Modern Warfare 2 down.

I think its hyped up to be more than what it is... Sure all the COD fanboys will be all over it for years, but I dont know how long I'll play it for, probably beat the single player, play online for a while...

There are too many good games coming out to be stuck on one.

This has got to be the greatest/funniest statement ever!!

I heard GameStop screwed over several people with their preorders. Had a guy come in last night and said they pretty much sold the preorder he paid for and now can't find the Prestige Edition anywhere. We [BestBuy] only had one left and it was a preorder. Frankly, I don't want to pay $60 for a game, let alone $150.

i am wondering who is that dumass person at Infinity Ward that came up with the bright idea of civilian massacre in modern warfare 2.

It aint sound funny and dosent look funny either from Gamespot review video. Giving an option to skip the scene is not a good idea.

It is like making a family movie with lots of porn in it and then giving option to skip the porn part.

that level is amazing.. its one of the best levels in the game... you go through an airport and u kill thousands of civilians...

but to be honest its all up to the player... (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KILL ANYONE) and u cans till pass the level. so if u killed people then at heart your are just criticizing yourself!

Great Point. but what is disappointing is that they are letting people skip it, but it is so important to the story of the game.
