All of the PC users who HATE MW2 WITH A PASSION! Just because of some of Infinity Ward's new policies are (in my opinion) mostly whiny douchebags with a ridiculous ability to hold a grudge. Yes they made you pay ten dollars more, yes they dropped dedicated servers, yes both of those things suck, yes you should be angry.

No you should not be THIS angry, and no you should not think the game is the "biggest fail of an FPS ever!" or that Infinity Ward is "The worst company EVER!"

Here's what you do:
1.) See what they did to PC users
2.) Get pissed
3.) let rage simmer down to annoyance after a bit
4.) Buy or don't buy future IW products based on level of annoyance
5.) In extremely angry cases maybe write a letter or something

Here's what you DON'T do:
1.) See what they did to PC users
2.) Get pissed
3.) Get more pissed
4.) Throw a fucking tantrum
5.) Make a website called ModernWarFAIL.com (seriously, how fucking immature is this?)
6.) Use website to engage in a massively overblown "gamers scorned" smear campaign
7.) Call it the "worst FPS in history!!1!1" (A lot of people)
8.) Call Infinity Ward the "worst company in history!!1!1" (a lot of people)
9.) Make a petition (MWfail.com)
10.) Make another petition (MWfail.com)
11.) Send a $60 check to a rival company (some crazy dude)
12.) Spam their forums in an attempt to create disorder (MWfail.com)
13.) Try to create cheats and hacks to prove the game is unstable and sucks (MWfail.com)
14.) Throw another bigger fucking tantrum
15.) Never give up your uncontrollable rage, and call everything related to IW the worst thing ever, forever, with no regard to the actual quality of the product in question.


EDIT:

I have had to clarify this SO MANY TIMES I thought I would just put it up here, I am NOT saying you should like the game, or even consider it worthy of wiping your ass, alright?

All I am saying is that going to outrageous (and in some cases very expensive) lengths in order to sabotage the experience that fans of Modern Warfare two are having, or engaging in an obscenity filled smear campaign of the company is stupid, malicious, and annoying, so don't bother, is it really worth it? Looking at Modernwarfail2.com you would think Infinity Ward has started abducting and curb stomping infants.

I also realize that the vast majority of PC users did not engage in these activities, please don't post all pissed at me for that, give yourself a pat on the back, but this thread is a discussion of those who DID do those ridiculous things.

This is NOT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE GAME, just about how these types of reactions are malicious, counter-productive, and just plain annoying for anything related to anything, I am NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT LIKE/HATE THE GAME

So basicially, because a minority of PC gamers threw a big tantrum the majority who quietly ignored the game have overreacted?

The modern warfare 2 hate is perfectly justified, it's the sixth call of duty game (not counting expansions) and for some reason morons gobble it up and shower it with awards. It did nothing new, took out features and cost more than previous titles, and the worst part is that people though that this subpar game is somehow the best EVAR!!1

The hate is perfectly justified, I won't apologize for thinking it's a shit game anymore than I would for not liking the fucking Jonas Brothers..

If you answered your question in the title, why bother having a poll?

Seriously, I used to like IW and I loved CoD4, that's why I hate MW2 so much. I also enjoy the multiplayer on Xbox 360, but that's mostly because of the noobs and the fact that there are practically no cheaters. CoD4 had lots of solid work and care behind it, MW2 feels like a soul-less rehash of it's predecessor. As for dedicated servers, I wouldn't mind, if they had modding tools, but they don't. Also, the price raise is BULLSHIT, especially considering how much sales they have. I'm not even going to mention all the "controversy" they tried to stir up for obvious reasons.

I can appreciate that MW2 took some work to make, all games do, but really IW? Really? Or is it Activision who is behind all this? I swear, they're so much worse then EA. In before the lock/flame war.

P.S. The single-player is too short and makes no sense. Captain Price was declared dead on the bridge (you see the medic give up CPR on him), and even if he was alive, they wouldn't leave his body behind. That's only ONE of the MANY plot-holes in MW2. On the plus side, the music is AWESOME.

60$ for 5ish hours of campaigning? Then what? Go online? Online to what? Servers with obnoxiously high ping and a system that's supposed to find me a match with players of my rank/skill level which fails massively?
You know what I did with my 60 bucks? I got drunk! And the good news i managed to be drunk for a whole of a lot more than 5ish hours. Best 60$ I've ever spent.

Crazy?No that dude's fucking awesome, he basically told Treyarch to put that money into dedicated servers. BC2 deserves to be as big as MW2.

Oh and i agree when you say the price hike wasn't that bad BUT GOD DAMN EVERY OTHER COMPANY THAT THINKS OF DOING IT. NO I'M TOTALLY NOT A FANBOY.

Holy crap, stop stealing my words. Thief.

Although I slightly disagree, hating MW2 isn't necessary, and there honestly isn't that much hatred for the game, it's more like something you ignore and politely nod when somebody mentions how amazing it is, after which you roll your eyes and wonder.

I should stress that there are people to who'm MW2 is a great game and have valid points as to why it is their personal favourites, but I can't help but believe that the majority are following hype and are ignorant as to other titles which are superior. It's similar to how... well Transformers is so popular, and to many it is their favourite, however favourite does not equal best, which the majority of people, and video game critics don't seem to grasp.

I have it on my xbox, but i still think that it's WAY too overated. The only reason why everyone has it is because EVERYONE is playing it online. I agree it has good online but i dont understand why they even made a campaign. I played it in 4 hours. That's not worth 60 bucks to me.

Any price raise would be the fault of the Producer, so in this case Activision. I thought we had already established that Activision is worse than EA?

I wasn't really sure where I stood on the MW2 line but your poll has convinced me that the game fucking sucked thank you sir. So glad I didn't give Activision that sixty bucks.

Seriously. What is the point of this?
Actually, don't tell me. I thought we had got past all the shit about MW2 and it's problems. But no. Someone had to throw a hissy fit and post a rant against those who don't like which is flamebait tastic.
If you like this game, make a reasonable argument instead of baiting the PC community and making them look like a bunch of elitist *CENSORED* for god's sake. If you can't do that, don't type anything. At all. No wonder some PC gamers think console gamers are morons when stuff like this gets posted. Jesus.

I understand why your complaining. Even if the game is shit, who cares? Just don't buy it. It's nice to have opinions but there is point where you draw the line.

Yeah, but I'm so used to EA being the devil of gaming... And I used to think that Activision was... good.

More MW2 rants. Fun stuff.

I think the hate is justified. It's part of the social need to have the average opinion reflect the actual product quality. The game was not "TEH BEST THING EVAR!!!11!!", nor was it "EPIC FAIL!!!". It was good, perhaps great, but not excellent. It had an intense but short and disjointed single player. An action packed but laggy and badly controlled multiplayer. The end result is that with such a large portion of the population proclaiming as the best game of all time, there has to be large number people proclaiming it the most piece of crap thing in human history. When averaged out, you get something close to the true quality of the game.
