All of the above. I selected Unbalanced weapons, and I'm counting the ones awarded for kill streaks. They're counter-intuitive. A better system would count the kills up, and rather than giving you every single award, replace the previous reward with the better one.
Here's an example:
I haven't played it enough to remember exactly what number of kills gets you what, so let's just go with this:
If you get 10 kills, you have the option of getting an AC130. You can take this option, and your killstreak reward points lower to zero.
You can choose not to use this (the option will still be available) and you get up to 20 kills. Let's say that unlocks an airstrike or whatever you kids play with these days. You now have the option of taking the airstrike, which lowers your killstreak points down again, rather than letting you take the AC130 AND the airstrike. Much better system, eh?

Hey look I can stand in a corner defended by 2 super claymores and constantly lob grenades into the air and never have to risk myself in open conflict
seriously fuck grenade launchers.

Overpriced map packs, unbalanced everything, shit gameplay. Oh look, another COD with MORE STUFF! The developers don't seem too keen on actually fixing/improving anything.
When you whine about campers, all I hear is 'I'm too lazy and/or stupid to kill this person even though they camp so I know EXACTLY where they are since there is a kill cam for this sort of thing.'
Also, it is usually followed up by killstreaks...ie. 'I have no class with cold-blooded and a rocket launcher so I have no way to fix the problem myself other than whine and complain about how no one else will fix my problems.'
Now, this isn't to say that there aren't issues with these things, but they aren't that bad. If you took away the whining idiots then no one would think they were problems at all. The real issues with the game are with the design, like fifty-foot knife lunges, unlimited ammo refills, and using a sniper rifle as an automatic one hit kill weapon. Also the lack of server issue.
And of course, there are the whining idiots. Sure, we all hate the douchebag players who act like general assholes, but when do you ever think about the kids who constantly whine about how much everything sucks and how it all needs to change to suit them better? At least douchebags stay in the game. Whiners follow you out of the game, telling you how much it sucks all the time, with their whining complaints and overuse of the word 'Noob' to (strangely) describe people who play better than them. They're like a disease, but they are a disease that goes ignored. Of course, ignoring them is also the solution so...I guess there's nothing that can be done. And the world just keeps spinning...

I chose the unbalanced weapons, but the thing is...EVERYTHING IS UNBALANCED! The perks system is unbalanced, the load-out system is unbalanced, the weapons are unbalanced, the leveling system is unbalanced, everything is just unbalanced to the point it is extremely frustrating. But even that isn't as bad as the damn glitchers and cheaters that inhabit every match.
And that is why I hate MW2, and hate people =]

Drop shotting, knife bots and people who use cheat in general piss me off big time, but being a sniper on games the thing that really winds me up is quickscoping, I prefer to use skill and take my time with shots not running around bullshitting every other player with a free talentless kill.
Just you wait. This site likes to bash halo, almost as much as MW2.Theron Julius said:
Also, after playing the beta I was one of those people trying to bash it. It was just too similar for me to be excited about it. It was okay, but I guess I just want more innovation beyond a couple new weak guns, boring maps, and the ability to fly around like an even bigger spaz than someone just jumping contiually.
/turning this thread into a halo one.
I'd say that the lack of local online multiplayer is really an issue. Some of the best times I've had with Halo 3 has been joining up with a friend to play matches online. This not being an option with Modern Warfare 2 has really given me an issue with it.
The biggest problem is that Infinity ward doesn't do crap about any of the problems at all. They don't even bother to ban the people who are obviously hacking. They see people on the leader boards with -1337 kills and think "There's no problem with that." They also made an absolutely horrible matchmaking system. If you're in a party 50% of the time when you try to join a game it will split you up.
When it comes to the Knifing, one man army + danger close noob tubing, etc., the fault lies more with the players for exploiting the bad game design than Infinity ward for not giving a shit about the quality of their game.
