8BITBOT EPISODE 5 – The Modern Warfare 2 special

ep5

Go to war with Delon and Devon as they delve right into what is arguably going to be game of the year, Modern Warfare 2. They speak about the local South African launch as well as discuss some great aspects of the game. [We would've had an interview with Andrew Royal but Delon's Mac lost the interview sigh].

[edit] On the podcast I claimed that day one sales were $7.1Mill I stand corrected it was actually $310million… sorry … :/

When doing the podcast it was amazing to actually look at the surrounding controversy of the game and to see how passionate the fans of the series are about it. What we’ve seen with signed petitions (possibly the BIGGEST petition I’ve ever seen) it really shows in a strange kinda way that Infinity Ward have made a great game. However to play a little bit of devil’s advocate as much as the fan’s think that this is their game it really isn’t, and so while they can suggest things that they want changed in the game, ultimately demanding that the monster developer to change it’s ways is going to be a little difficult to do. What I’d be interested to see is how many gamers stuck to their guns and refused to purchase this game.
