Its great plot aside. And the multiplayer is awesome, people who complain about it take it too seriously.

I don't hate it, I just don't like it for its multiplayer. Too many silly killstreaks. Progression to unlock loadouts, is also silly, in my opinion. If you made all loadout options available from the start, and removed the killstreaks, then I might pay it. If they're still in, I'm not going anywhere near it.
It wasn't exactly bad, but doesn't deserve the heaps of praise it gets. Oh, and at last I have an excuse to post this video:
The multiplayer is terrible as I've typed many times before here so I'll keep it short.
- Awful weapon balance.
- Killstreaks promote lone wolf play when the game is about team objectives.
- The maps are a campers delight, which is a fine tactic but not every corner needs a hidey hole.
- None of the maps were spectacular they were all "fine", most likely because they were the same for every gametype so they weren't specialised for whatever you were playing.
- That's without talking about the money grabbing sluts that shipped the game with less features just so they can squeeze more cash out of you down the line.

I think this problem is particularly worse in Modern Warfare 2, because there is a great emphasis on reflexes and reaction times.Thoric485 said:
When I play Halo 3 multiplayer I will normally have a pretty dodgy connection because I live in Australia, but it doesn't (usually) affect the game too much.
Furburt, let me tell you something about why I like you. You're different from all the other forum 'celebrities' (or whatever); I used to get annoyed by you being everywhere but now I realise why everyone loves you. I wholely disagree with your opinion, but something about the way you write it makes me respect it too, something many people don't have the ability to do; many don't seem to be able to write ob(or is it sub?)jectively.Furburt said:

It was not at all on the same level as the first or previous Call of Duty games. It was attempting to be an interactive action movie Solo saddens me and the Online was a bastardized version of 4. All in all the game was trying to hard to be what it's father was... Good.
Tho I will say, doing co-op in "Gillies in the mist" was rather enjoyable.

I don't see any plotholes(sure it was unrealistic but that's not a plothole) and the nuke cheat on multiplayer has only happened once for as long as I have played. all in all, I love it.
No, I don't hate it at all. I thought the single player was a lot of fun with an extremely entertaining story. As for the multiplayer, well, I really enjoyed it. I don't know why - I do have it on PS3, so I didn't have to deal with any of the infamous PC issues, and my friend and I had a great time working our way through the Veteran Spec Op missions.
I can't stand the game anymore. The only reason I play is because its the ONLY game my friends play.
Most of the games problems stem from the players. I'm sick of playing against the same person over and over, only with a different name. By that I mean, everyone uses the same weapons and perks and everyone goes to the same spots over and over. Scar, UMP45, Barret(always thermal sight), akimbo shotguns(because in real life, you'd be able to fire both at once without dislocating your shoulders. Oh yeah, then don't shoulder them in-game. They free aim them.). That's all it ever is. Why? Because they have the highest "power".
Lets face it, the game is newb friendly. I don't mean "noob", I mean people new to FPS in general. The series was severely dumbed down for this game. No recoil in weapons, high explosive area, ridiculous and unrealistic perk system.
Honestly, I'd like to gut that guy that decided there should be a perk that allows you to slide 20 feet to stab someone. Yet, without that perk, you can have your hand in your opponents back pocket and not be able to stab them. Not since this game would anyone even think of pressing their knife button at these distances.
The game is unrealistic, which is sad. IW said they weren't putting in a zombie mode because they wanted to keep the game realistic(and they were planning the disaster* that is Spec-Ops), yet with a commando pro, not only can you slide 20 feet to stab someone, but you could jump off the Empire State building and not take damage.
*Spec-Ops online is a wreck. Split-screen, its great. However, I've experienced nothing but lag online, including trying to play with another console in the next room over(we wanted our own screens). I've also read about horrible lag, no matter your connection type or speed.
No dedicated servers? Yeah, because I like being kicked due to host migration failure. Some poor fella can't take a beating, so they leave and ruin the game for everyone else.
MW2 fun fact: Killstreaks don't continue after host migration. If you're 24-0 and looking for that last kill for a nuke, it isn't happening after host migration.
The game punishes good players that are on a team with people that aren't doing so well(Note: Not bad players. Everyone has a bad game every now and then). Killstreaks. Once the other team starts racking them up, its game over for you. Even if you're 30-5.
Horrible spawns. How many times have you killed someone, only to have them respawn directly behind you? Happens to me all the time. How many times have you been killed just to respawn in front of the guy that just killed you, and he gets you again in the same clip? Happens to me all the time. Don't even get me started on spawning me under predator missiles, enemy grenades, or claymores.

I hate call of duty in general I've given them multiple chances and every game is just damn boring. I can't understand how it became so popular.
I dont like the fact that the game doesnt have dedicated servers.
I dont like the fact that the game is overpriced (at least on steam in my region).
I dont like the fact that the game gets more praise than it deserves, although its not as bad as halo.
I found the campaign to be decent fun, but nowhere near as good as MW1.
I dont hate MW2 I just feel quite meh about it.

It was pretty fun. Certainly not as good as CoD4, but a nice shooter nonetheless.
The multi-player is a little to frantic for my taste, though.
