Surely no amount of marketing can save a poor game, I'm not meaning this one but just in general I don't deny it needs marketing but just as a developer you wonder what you could have done if you got a bit more of that budget to play with for the actual game.

The Eminem advert was pretty damn cool but it wasnt as obviously attached to satan's cock as the Gears of War 2 campaign. Cliffy B on today FM adverts, stupid discussions with the developers about how Gears was a new platform, people saying it WAS a piece of art. At least for the most part they have delivered on what they promised with the campaign. Even though the Single player is short its the best action movie Iv seen all year and the end of the Gulag level was worth the price of admission! I'm throwing my cynical side down with this one its a good game. Not my game of the year but its still a 9/10 Activision had committed to the fact that it was going to be a stellar release so I guess they had no real choice but to splash that much out!

Was that much money really needed?! circa $200 million btw. I was just reading that they spent about 3 times more money on marketing this as they did developing it!!

Very easy to dominate. Though, yeah, BC2 will be better. Aye, I am enjoying it and tend to be bludgeoning people all over the gaff. Very easy to dominate. Though, yeah, BC2 will be better.

At least in MW2 it parties up for you and you can stay with a group you like if you find a group you click with but what can you do?! I am really enjoying it, on till Bad Company 2 arrives :P That's rampent in Halo, especially with people who use 2nd acc etc you think you're taking on a major but hes really a general grade 2.
