MW2 stock has "not been sent out" News

It's probably also something to do with the postal strike. I know that Game processed my Dragon Age order about a week before they dispatched it, which is unusual for them. They then sent an explanatory e-mail about processing orders in advance to allow for timely dispatching.

I've had an email from Game earlier confirming despatch and giving me a Parcel Force tracking number.

I hope to fuck i get it tomorrow...


oh fuck yes! Checked the tracking on Parcel Force and it's the 24 hour service...... why do i have to work?!?!?? =(

still though, mine is in a van and it's on it's way =)

I was completely calm about the whole situation BUT THEN you had to say that ShopTo has no stock yet... are doing this just to hurt me?

Not that i'm bothered of course... its just a fps, simple, generic, PROBABLY BLOODY GAME OF THE YEAR.. although Uncharted so far.. am i still typing? is this normal? .... .. .

This and DA:O have been dispatched by gameplay. Will I get either by the end of the week?

Sorry to burst your bubble Pacrifice but many have had that over at the xbox forums too. They have called the depot and have been told to hold off on delivery. http://forums.xbox.com/34/29803095/ShowP... Linky if ur interested?

,....... ='(

Damn it, I got the HMV mail yesterday and was hoping it would turn up before the weekend lol.

I have mine preordered with shopto. They have also announced on thier forum that it wont arrive until release day :(

IW has pushed and pushed and pushed and removed enough functionality for me to finally say no and cancel my preorder.

Fuck you, IW, and your 9vs9, no console, no modding, no mapping, no dedicated servers, no nothing that you don't consider THE WAY to play.

they're doing a damn good job keeping that game under wraps. not even copies on ebay yet...

tuesday better come fast

I'll put money on this not selling out and Activision spinning the numbers so they can have a 'Biggest entertainment release evar!!!!!!' press release.

Even if you do get it early, I strongly advise against playing it online. Microsoft may very well bar you from Xbox Live.

Why, because of a retailer fuckup? No clause in the EULA (which isnt legally enforceable anyway) says anything about not playing games before some arbitrary street date.

I got an email off Game earlier today saying my order was being processed, but I didn't take that to mean it's been sent out. Usually online retailers end up breaking street dates by a day or so, mostly as a quirk of the postal system, but I'd be very surprised if anyone got MW2 this early.

Theres been quite a few of my friends who've received it from Game,one got it Tuesday!!! So,it IS getting sent out.

they needn't bother shipping the pc version, this is the first time i've ever decided to boycott a game.

""Fulfilling orders will obviously be a major undertaking, and in order to implement this in a timely manner, we have had to initiate the transaction process to begin printing off address labels. This has triggered the email alert, but stock has not been shipped."

Trying to stop people from cancelling and getting it in a shop probably has something to do with it as well. :/

Fuck this game

Retailers are in a difficult spot, trying to please both Activision and their customers even without postal strikes. I wonder how much pressure Activision is applying.

THANKS MEM IF YOU DIDNT POST IN CAPS LOCK I WOULDNT HAVE NOTICED YOUR INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT POST.

See how annoying it is? Please refrain from typing in Caps again, especially when you can't spell.

Its just a shame the game is a disappointment, 2 years dev time, and an increased RRP for this? I'm expecting a 7/10 review.
Granted the MP will be popular, but the campaign is nowhere near as good as either MW or WAW, and the ending is absolute gash. Spec Ops is OK, but nowhere near the replay value of Horde or Firefight. Colour me disappointed. The best positive I can find about it is that the endless respawning enemies are gone, but as a result the game is far far easier than the previous ones, I always play the games through on hardened first time, and move on to veteran. MW took me about 10hrs on H, this was a breezy 7h40m.
Anyone know when the review embargo lifts? I'm interested to see what the official line is on "the most anticipated game of the decade".
This post isnt flamebait, its meant as a warning for people to drop their expectations.

I think many retailers have broken the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 street date. Sure, many are playing the pirated version, but I've seen several screenshots of the game packaging in many forums.

Some people had to pay over 2x money to get their hands on a early copy of modern warfare 2 :P

Odd, when I log into my HMV account and check my order history, it's telling me 'completely shipped', is this a lie too then? I am gutted, I thought I would get it before the weekend! If the postal strikes mean it doesn't arrive by Monday, I am getting a midnight sales copy! I can return it or trade it in, or give it as a present when my proper copy arrives. lol

A lot of people on my friendslist is already playing this game and i know for a fact that they have the retail version.

Check my friendlist on Xbox Live and you see for yourself.

"I'm expecting a 7/10 review."

LOL! Im expecting at least 9/10

Im really happy the respawning enemies is gone. I hated that. A game shouldnt be difficult for the wrong reasons and i think COD4 was just that. Ive completed it on veteran without to much trouble but to complete it on veteran you needed to know the respawns well. I would like to complete MW2 on veteran right off the bat and i bet that will be hard enough.

I got an email from Game yesterday saying mine had been dispatched! I hope they break street day for my sake!!!!

sorry, I said "I'm expecting a 7/10", kinda meant - I rate it a 7 or maybe 8 at a push, which is why I am looking forward to the pro's views. I actually expect EG might be close to the truth, and everyone will be WTF!!!11!!!!

I got an email from Play.com yesterday saying that they wont use Royal mail but a courier service to ensure I get MW2 by the release date. I've read that as weekend play!! Woohoo!

"LOL! Im expecting at least 9/10"

Will you explode into pure rage when it scores an 8?

@LR100
You can't cancel once it's shipped, but you can return it unopened within 28 days for a full refund.
I was looking forward to getting it before the weekend too, since my order says it's Completely Shipped too :(

They did this with GTAIV last year as well - got a dispatch email almost a week before it was out but obviously didn't get the game until release day.

everybody will get a copy of the game their not guna do the same thing as mw were everywhere sold out the shops are going to be jam packed with this............:)

Something smells fishy about this story and it is not prawns. Sounds to me like some stores HAD shipped early but got caught out and Activision are forcing them to take steps. This is why (as per xbox link in comments) that Game and HMV have shipped them to couriers but couriers have now had instructions from them to not deliver the games.

So seeing as they have despatched and couriers are holding on to them, I would like to know how the couriers are going to know which packages are MW2 and which packages are for games out this weekend? HMV and Game are probably going through all the sales records and giving a list of customers to the courier which to stop. But then there is a problem of a customer who has two orders - one for Friday and one for Tuesday.

@Xerx3s

"Will you explode into pure rage when it scores an 8? "

Not at all. Ive never had too high expectations for the game. I enjoyed COD4 but its not among my top 10 favourite 360 games. Its not about what i want it to score its about what i think it will score. See the difference?

I do think the game will score 9 or above.

I hope reviewers mark it down for having an incredibly short single player campaign.

I am actually more interested in the original Call of Duty on xbox live. I get the code for that in my hardened edition, is that going to be available on Tuesday?

@beckyh
I do hope so, I'm looking forward to that too, so much!

So long as when I get to Gamestation at midnight on the Monday, the guy behind the counter hands me my copy of MW2, I really don't care because for the next few months, I won't care about anything lol.

@FunkyRenegade
Oh no, i've ordered the prestige edition. What I was saying is if it doesn't arrive by Monday, I am quite prepared to get a normal version copy at midnight Monday to be able to play it without delay, then when my prestige version appears, I will trade the normal copy in, give it as a present to someone, or return it for a full refund if possible.

I got -7 from the negative marks some of you guys gave me for suggesting that Microsoft may not like you playing this early and that they may ban you from Xbox Live (I dunno what Sony does on PS3). Why exactly did I get marked down for this? If you don't get banned, then good for you, but I'm just trying to help you weirdos.

i got sent this message...

so why has the money been taken out my account over a week before its even sent

coulda used that money to buy dragon age!
