Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 takes $1bn in sales
Just and intressting story if you didnt already know!
THIS IS A COPY AND PASTE JOBBY!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Video game Modern Warfare 2 has become one of only a handful of entertainment franchises to take more than $1bn (£625m)in revenue, its publishers say.
It went on sale in November and made an estimated $550m in its first five days.
The sales put it alongside other $1bn titles such as Guitar Hero III and World of Warcraft, also owned by publisher Activision.
It also puts it alongside other entertainment franchises such as the recent 3D science fiction smash Avatar.
The film's takings as of 04 January make it the fourth-biggest film ever made.
Ahead of it are Titanic ($1.8bn; £1.1bn), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12bn; £695m) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($1.07bn; £664m).
However, direct comparisons between films and video games are difficult as games typically retail for between three and five times the cost of a cinema ticket.
The first-person-shooter game is the sixth instalment in the Call of Duty series.
It was criticised at launch for a section, prefaced by a warning screen, where a player joins a massacre of civilians at an airport.
Labour MP Keith Vaz condemned the game saying he was "absolutely shocked" by its violence.
In response, publisher Activision said the scene was "not representative of overall experience".
It has since become the best-selling videogame of 2009 in the UK, according to industry body Elspa.
"The phenomenal success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was undoubtedly one of the leading entertainment stories of the year and firmly established videogames as one of the leading forms of entertainment in the UK," said Michael Rawlinson, Director General, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA).

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 takes $1bn in sales
I am truly not surprised. Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best games to come out... Ever!
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 takes $1bn in sales
...and still no online stat tracking. Weak, IW, real weak. Not to mention all the little annoying things, like running with care packages with Commando, Lightweight and Marathon equipped. You definitely know this game has problems when the spawning system, which is still as horrible as ever, never really gets mentioned because there's so many more annoying things. There's a word that describes Infinity Ward's current problem.

Who can blame them? If you just made a billion dollars on something you might think it's perfect too.

You make excellent points, especially since the care package/marathon "glitch" was known about before the last update. I do; however, have to believe IW had no idea how many people would spend their entire online playing experience running around like a crazy person with a care package grenade in one hand and knifing everything that came within 25 yards of them. I know it bugs the heck out of me to start shooting some hunched over flash on my TV only to get stabbed before I can pull the trigger
I am not going to let this bother my playing experience. I simply leave when the match is over and find another. I don't like always having to find another match, especially if I'm playing with a bunch of friends because of the difficulty in getting everyone into the same match. But, we do what we need to to have fun.

I don't think they deserve it, they could buy new servers with it or make some patches. We give them all that money and they laugh in our face.
