The game itself is alright, although it seems like everyone's bones are made of cardboard judging by how easily they die; it's definitely the people surrounding it that have given it such a bad rap, and rightfully so.
Poll: Is the true reason we hate MW2 because the game or the people who play it?

The game itself clocks in at about a "meh". Nothing worthy of hate, but nothing groundbreaking or amazing. If you like FPS games, its alright, if not it has nothing of interest for you.
The fact it got so much attention is why there was a backlash of hate from people who saw this as undeserved, and that its fans were ignorant of what are truly amazingly done games.

I feel like MW2 is like Die Hard 4.
Die Hard 4 is a great for what it is. It's a good action movie with lots of what makes the action genre good; explosions and gunfights. But the movie is no "examination of the human condition" and any delusions to such would, for the most part, be foolish.
It's pretty much the same case with MW2. It's a good action game, and perhaps one of the better newer ones. However, it's not the "greatest game ever" or anything, and I think it's the players that think it is the greatest game ever that creates bad connotations towards the game and players of the game.
As with anything, there are people who ruin it for everyone else and give groups a bad name. I personally enjoy certain aspects of MW2, but I realize (and I'm sure others realize as well) that my opinion of a game isn't necessarily the same as someone else's and to force my opinion on someone else is foolish and stupid (and vice versa).
Once you get online with any game, you're going to run into people that are less than civilized when interacting with complete strangers. I have yet to find any online game where the community is made up of people who are always respectful.

I enjoy playing it online, but I hate the players. I refuse to use a mic if I'm playing without any friends. And if I'm playing with friends, I'll only play Ground War so I don't have to listen to anyone else.
Glitches, noob tubes, and campers frustrate me, but listening to irritating people spam their mic is far worse.

More would be nice. Or better yet, how about a non-shooter?Genesis_Man said:
I'm still waiting for the sequel that "Clone" promised me... or another "Gubble"... or another "Mirror's Edge"... thus, I am always disappointed.

True that. I forgot about those (i could argue painkiller is a war between Heaven/Hell or something like that) but i generally think of shooters and war. For the most part they go hand and hand, Shooters (generally) involves weapons to be fired at enemies, which generally cause people to die. Which is a big part of war.Blanko2 said:
the single player was fun but short. the multiplayer was fun for awhile but when Bad company 2 came out, I tossed that ***** to the side(with a rather remarkable 60 dollar trade in) because in my not so humble opinion, Bad company 2 killed it in every way possible. Multiplayer got tired super quickly and with the outrageous price for the map packs, they can go fuck themselves. I'm still buying black ops though. Lesson learned? I think not!
It's an extraordinarily flawed game, and it caters to the worst of the online community.
Therefore BECAUSE the game is bad, the people who play it are the biggest assholes in the world.
So really, it's both.

Have to disagree with TF 2. People who get more achievements unlock new weapons (a great way to discourage team play as if just people abandoning their team to get the achievements for their own sake wasn't enough), not to mention the more you play the more hats you gets, some of which bost stats.TPiddy said:
OT: The reason people complain about MW2 is the multiplayer is broken, simple is that. Also, I've never once seen the host migration work.
My opinion on this poll is "It sucks on its own" I never enjoyed the modern warfare series nor anything past cod 3. It got to unrealistic(I know, but even for a video game)
for the most part its the game, the game itself is incredibly broken and unbalanced, put that with the maps and it does not help at all. now when you mix in idiots who do at nothing to win and constantly say "its there, so im going to use it!?!?!?!! mwahaha you suck noobz! i owned you!" then it becomes a passion to dislike the game.
oh and who ever said it was because "its trendy" has no clue, its not because its trendy, mw1 was/is better in so many aspects that its not even funny, and that game had a shit ton of followers and most people never had anything bad to say about that game, regardless of if they loved it or didn't care for it really. so the whole hate on mw2 thing stems totally from the game being what it is, not because if its trendy or not, hell most people who hate it were the first ones to buy it

MW2 is a popular game, the more people talk about the popular game, the more people who don't play get mad at it. The madder the people get, the louder they get. Once the popularity reaches mainstream, the people who play stop talking so much about it.
However, the mad people don't care anymore, as they are still mad at it. Now the people who didn't have an opinion on the matter have no one else to listen to except the mad people. These people join the mad people in their pointless crusade to show people how mad they are. It snowballs like this until, voila, you've got a bunch of people inspecting an old popular game under a microscope and pointing out every single flaw at the drop of a hat, because people talked about it a lot a while back.
Last time I'll post about MW2.... maybe.
