Yup the guys at Infinity Ward have stated that there is no current plans to release a demo prior to the launch of Modern Warfare 2. The company says that they want to use the time that could be used making a demo to putting more and more finishing touches on the game. I think it probably went a little more like this:
Worker: Hey boss, do we want to give all the pinheads out there a demo for Modern Warfare 2 before it comes out?
Infinity Ward Boss: Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how large our game is tracking right now? We’ve already got their money, the word of mouth, and the entire Christmas season. No point in giving it out for free.
At least we’ll be getting the game soon, that lessens the sting of no demo, at least ours won’t look like Japan’s version being brought out by Square-Enix.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
