Battlefield 2 and Modern Warfare 2 earn this prize.
Battlefield 2 is a great concept, emphasizing team-work, co-operative objectives, and tactic-based game-play as you push from one key position to the next. Pathetic weapons, accuracy issues, bugs, and a player-base consisting mostly of assholes and prepubescent twats ruin the experience every time though.
Modern Warfare 2 I just...lothe. Me and a friend enjoy breaking the game on weekends by playing it in the most hilarious of ways in Spec-Ops, which is about the most enjoyable part of it. Single player story is terrible, multi-player is filled with jerks, but worst of all:
- No dedicated servers, so no community base
- No community base, less social interaction with people you might actually -want- to play with
- No Mod support
- No Custom Map support
- Price as much as a console game, for less content than CoD4--and extra 10 USD for an extra 10 minutes of suffering
But most of all, Modern Warfare 2 isn't all that modern. When I see half the players in the game running around spraying bullets from machine pistols akimbo, or running around with two late 18th century shotguns, and them actually being rewarded for it...nope, that's when I close the game.
Huh. Carried on a fair bit, sorry. In short, Battlefield 2 (damn you EA Games!) and Modern Warfare 2 (damn you, Infinity Ward!)
