is anybody going to be playing CoD4 for 360? 
 
I'm interested in buying it because my budget for games is pretty tight for a while...but is anybody going to be playing multiplayer now that MW2 is out?  Is there really anybody who has CoD4 and XBLG who isn't buying MW2 before the week is over?

I don't think so, on pc maybe, not on 360

I'm sure there will be. You'd be surprised how many people can't afford a new game right when it comes out, especially so close to the Christmas season.

Dude people still play the original Call Of Duty. Tons of people are gonna play COD4 despite of MW2 being out.

your going to see a major decrease in players, but there will still be plenty of people on. 

Agreed.  I definitely would not worry about their being a lack of people to play with in Call of Duty 4.  But the thing I was wondering about is the actual price of CoD 4.  Maybe it's because I live in Canada, but at Best Buy they're still selling it for 60 bucks and I'm pretty sure the cheapest I've seen it used at an EB/GameStop was probably like 50, maybe 45 dollars.  I dunno...shop around?

I assume it'll be like Gears of War was back when the sequel came out where a massive chunk of the players moved on but there was still plenty around. Or, if you want to be contemporarily behind the times, you could get the Wii version and play online there.

I bet lots of folks who plan on getting MW2 for Christmas will be playing online until then, and even after that there will continue to be a hardcore group of players. But you shold realize that userbase will be both smaller and much harder to play against than the majority that played up until now.

People still play Halo 2 on the 360.  I don't know why you'd think they've be more quick to move on. "

I considered this as well, but it seems like everybody is buying MW2.  Doesn't really matter for me personally anyways...I fooled myself into thinking I had time to get into a new multiplayer FPS.  Maybe MW2 will be my Summer 2010 game. "

Nope. All 10,000 + of the current players are all going to leave.

My guess there is going to be a hardcore niche of players who devoted so much time to COD4 they will scoff at anything MW2 brings to the table and continue playing COD4. Kind of like the Counter Strike iterations, some of the user base migrated to Source but a lot of them still play classic.

Some of the PC boycotters will.

Sure,COD4 is still good.

I've seen some of my friends play COD4 this week, but they already own MW2 so I have no idea why. Maybe trade in some games or something and get yourself MW2, it's got a far better multi-player.
