I've been hating on IW and MW2 since the day I heard they would leave out dedicated servers and take shit on the modding community.
Nonetheless I still got my hands on a slightly less legal copy and started playing the single player campaign and spec-ops. After beating the SP at veteran in under 4 hours at my first play through I thought that it couldn't get worse.
So I tried the spec-ops with a friend and while it was a little more challenging we still managed to get three stars on all maps after a couple of days. And I did find spec-ops really enjoyable.
So at this point I hadn't tried multiplayer yet and all my friends said "WELL DUH MULTIPLAYER IS TEH GREATEST!". Now I'm a hardcore, and I mean HARDCORE Cod4 player so I wasn't to optimistic about the new noob friendly approach IW had with MW2.
Anyway, a couple of days ago I tried MW2 MP for the first time at a LAN party and I actually feel nauseous just thinking about it. It may very well be the worst shit I have ever played.
The noob friendly sickening atmosphere is a real kick in the balls for someone who was good at Cod4, the 12 year olds screaming in to microphones in the lobby and game, the death streaks are laughable (not in a good way), it feels like one of the developers 10 year old son came up with the kill streaks, some perks are just retarded (like Commando... WHAT THE EFFIN EFF?) and the text that comes up every time you kill anyone is just horrific. It's like the developers thought "Hey, you can't kill more then one person so we will fill your screen with flying text so you can't see shit. That'll teach you!"
Even though this doesn't work since I did win two matches with the help of my nuke...
Anywho, the conclusion here is that I will not buy this game even if they put dedicated servers in and say they love the modders. I have been scared for life here.

I havent played the game in a while, im jsut playing other games.
And the Call O' Duty effect doesnt seem to be working right now. that effect is the thing where its like, "Well i could play other games but theres call of duty, so ill play that"
Admit it, most of us have had that effect with some call of duty title.
But lately NSF Shift and MAG are doing it for me.
