Modern Warfare 2 hype: good or bad

[Spec Op Slinky]

Are you sick of all the modern warfare 2 hype, or do you still love to play it?

I still love the game, even if I am 10th. I'm a sucker for multiplayer FPS games, and there just isn't any game that is better than it on consoles.

I am looking forward to a change of pace with Reach though. That and possibly GOW3.

It's not a bad game, at all. It's really just the cool thing right now to hate it, if you like FPS's, then definitely get it.

Honestly, I don't hear that much hype for it anymore. I enjoyed it, although not as much as the last game. As said, it's just cool to hate it right now. Like anything else that's popular (Twilight, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga) It's just what people do.

Agreed.

It's still my go-to multiplayer game when nobody else is on and I don't feel like playing any single-player games (of which I have quite a few). And it still provides many ways to amuse me...just tonight I managed to humiliate a self-proclaimed "pro gamer" who has many "sponcers" and gets "payd" to game, and also break up a nice little boosting session in MTDM. Good times.

I play it pretty much everyday.
I am well aware that it is not a perfect game, but I still enjoy it and it's fun to play with friends.
Plus the only other realistic shooter I have is BC2 and I hate it with a passion.

BC2 made me see the light as too how much better MW2 is

I still enjoy the odd game of it, but dame them for using the EA approach to DLC

If you overplay it, it can get bad. Don't just play one game all the time, unless you are me and the only 2 games you have are Halo 3 and MW2.

Its not as good as it was made out, but at the same time its no where near as bad as people say. The only thing with it is you(at least me) cant play that much MP at a time, I'll play for a week then for a month play something else and come back to it.

Yay another MW2 hate thread!

The hype is annoying, I log on Xbox Live to 17 people playing it. 17 PEOPLE! ALL IN GAME CHAT! ALL OFF MY FRIENDS LIST!

Bad. MW2 was always lauded for its multiplayer, but I say it sucked. The sandbox didn't even have a hint of balancing, and the gameplay basically fucks you over if you're either stuck with a shitty team or up against a booster/atrophied basement-dweller.

With MW1 there was some annoying run and gun cheese but for the most part sniping, rifles, SMGs, even LMGs were viable gameplay styles. They basically said "screw fairness lets make insainly overpowered kill streak that devastate. (While maybe its realistic to get destroyed military hardware that you can't do anything about but it doesn't make for a fun or balanced multiplayer experience). Also the run and gun cheese basically became insane due to unlimited sprint and next to no accuracy penalty for running at full speed and then firing a machine gun full auto. Unrealistic cheese like akimbo shotguns, super speed knifing, etc basically ruins any of the fun CoD use to stand for (semi realistic combat that wasn't run and gun). Besides the unbalanced cheese and unrealistic combat there are a ton of glitches, crappy matchmaking system, and at times lag issues.
I liked MW1 but MW2 ruined it for me when 80% of the people in each game are noob tubing, knife running, or akimbo shotguns. Sorry but this isn't the same style of game that I so loved from CoD 1 up to and including CoD4:MW.

Spec Ops btw is great fun and the single player campaign is fun but the plot is rather shitty.

I was tired of it after a month. Hit prestige and gain a few name tag things then what? I'd give those hours of play back and trade them for TF2 hours any day.
