Poll: Do YOU hate Modern Warfare 2?

[Ekonk]

The multiplayer is so unbalanced it hurts, and the plot is ridiculous. It's not bad, but not as good as Modern Warfare 1.

 

[T-Bone24]

Nothing really in that poll that describes how I feel about it. It's annoying, I don't like it and I find it unbalanced in multiplayer and just insane (in a bad way) in singleplayer. It's just not to my taste, but I can see how people could like it.

 

[Koganesaga]

Most people on PC hate it because of lack of dedicated servers, removal of many many features, modding disallowed so they can make more moeny via DLC, just generally a gimped up version of the game.

This and something about the game just rubbed me the wrong way.

I played MW2 for 13 days and I don't plan on going back to it any time soon. COD4 is a much better game. MW2 is completely broken with overpowered killstreaks, deathstreaks, care packages, unbalanced weapons, infinite explosives.

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:

My god... I haven't laughed that much in a long time.

The OPFOR voices nearly had me fall off my chair:

TACTICAL HEADER!
TANGO SUCKER!
BAMBI!

 

[L-J-F]

I hate everything ABOUT it, the game was ok, totally average and not worth playing, but average. But yeah, DLC, dedicateds, price, and the generally awfulness of everything surrounding the game turned me off. Oh, and it was shite

I chose the game was shit. But for me thats not strictly true. I liked singel player and spec ops but I found multiplayer extremly boring IE the same as the last two games. If they made the next Cod with a different multiplayer I might play it more.

 

[Skops]

I've hated CoD since post-CoD2, every single one from 3 and on has been complete and utter crap to me. I give them a chance, I'll rent them. But always disappoint. Black Ops I expect will be no different, but alas, I'll probably rent and keep my hopes up.

 

[Cabamacadaf]

I think it's fun, but I haven't played online so maybe that's why.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

It was ok, but I got bored of it all very quickly. It was well made, but I didn't like what they did with the multiplayer, but all my friends disagree. The story was fun a couple of times through, but then lost its sheen, and Spec Ops is great until you reach the last four or so that I find too hard to do on Veteran, I just can't be bothered.

So yeah, a bit meh, for me.

 

[Shadowtek]

I pretty well enjoy the game, its fun.

 

[soulasylum85]

there is no problem with karachi its highrise that is complete and utter bullshit

 

[Reaper69lol]

No reason for me to hate it, great game, I had lots of fun with it.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

I hate that IW removed Dedicated servers and any ability to mod it (enabling them, effectively, to charge us with overpriced maps we probably would've gotten for free from a nice modder). Seriously, $15 for five maps, two of which we could play in CoD4?
I also have gripes with the amount of plot-holes present in the single player. I really don't want to go into that again (it's posted somewhere else on this forum).
Also, the spawning system has forced me to swear at my computer in frustration several times. I've lost count of the times I've been gunned/knifed down, only to respawn right in front of my assailant to get pwned again. /endrant

 

[Jedoro]

I enjoyed the campaign, and continue to enjoy playing on Live. Sure, some people piss me off, but then I get on my n00b tube class and piss them off back.

 

[Caliostro]

So what do you, the forum community think?

First thought: The hell is Karachi?


An personally I think it's crap. I don't hate it because it came from Activision (hey, I used to love Activision) but because it's a step backwards. It's inferior in everything to the first Modern Warfare, and fail quite spectacularly in many aspects.

- The plot is absurd
- The gameplay went from "semi-realistic" to "counter strike" (seriously, dual wielding shotguns and SMGs?)
- Balance went out the door... Somewhat. Everything kills you with a couple of bullets so it's more an exercise in luck ("hey, you happened to respawn behind me! I'm dead!") and camping than actual aim and strategic thinking... But even so, they managed to somehow fuck up balance... Dual wielding shotguns are a 1 hit kill so it's just BOOM, dead... The Vector with rapid fire and the AA-12 don't one hit kill, but might as well, since they mows everything down in a wink anyways.
- The maps are the size of a cardboard box.
- Some perks are absurdly game breaking.
- The very concept of killstreak rewards is idiotic...
- No dedicated servers kills multiplayer.
- Inflated price.
Etc.

The game is just... Bad. It's inferior in everything to the original MW, and not even in the same league as BC2, which I loooove.

Either ways, there has been what? A thousand threads like this already? Search is good.

I didn't hate it, but there's other stuff to play, for both multi and single player.

 

[ERadical]

The game is ok, they just screwed us PC gamers over
