MW2 fails due to the fact that my PS3 freaking YLoD'd while I was freaking playing it!!! Damn thing's gonna cost me another bloody console unless I want to have it turn off and beep me to death whenever I have the gaul to try and play a game on the god forsaken system!
Balancing in MW2 is just plain horrible, the perks are especially guilty for this. The One-man army, danger close and noobtube combo is an example of this as well as Marathon, Lightweight and commando. If perks cannot be balanced at all, then they should make it so it's back to preset classes as opposed to this imbalanced class customization. It's a bit extreme to go back there, but even games like TF2 managed to be fun and balanced with preset classes.
The weapons has its ups and downs, it's not as unbalanced as the perks, but there are some glaring faults. Noobtubes are a given, the fact there's no consequence of having (As opposed to the disability of using any tier 1 perks) it equipped makes it a perfect attachment to get any free kills, just point in the general direction of the enemy and you get free kills practically, use One-army and danger close and you're set. The whole Akimbo "attachment" is also imbalanced, I'm sure you've seen Akimbo G18s and 1887s. As for the normal guns, most will opt to use ACR, M4, Scar, which really isn't that bad, but you see guns such as the F2000 and the FAL that are shafted aside and have made no effort to improve them so people would use them more.
Killstreaks are another problem, there wasn't any issue with the UAV/Airstrike/Helicopter combo back in COD4, because you can still deal with them. However, with the addition of AC130s, chopper gunners and other perks, it's just plain ridiculous on trying to counter them. The issue isn't the killstreak itself, it's more of the other issues that contribute to make it overpowered. For instance, the best anti-killstreak launcher is the stinger, at the very beginning, you get the AT4, which in my eyes is pure crap against killstreaks. You have to rank up to a certain level to get the stinger, and by that time, you've already played tons of games where you've tried to shoot down a killstreak but failed due to how underpowered the AT4 is. The other issue is the fact that no one bothers with trying to shoot down the killstreaks, but I'll leave that issue for now. The fact that these killstreaks exist, promotes players to go "lone wolf" and not work as a team. This of course, is a huge detrimental factor to why little to no teamwork exists in Modern Warfare 2.
In regards to the stinger, an essential item, being a weapon that needs to be unlocked at a higher level, I've come to the conclusion that essential unlockables such cold-blooded and the stinger really needs to given right when you start playing. Another solution is to just make it so everything's unlocked right off the bat, while this isn't a huge issue, there's no reason why any person that is a higher rank should have an advantage over someone else that is a lower rank.

The community
The hackers/glitchers
The unbalanced weapons/perks
The map layouts encourage camping and K/D whoring
So lets talk about the community they are abusive and try to start arguments just for kicks especially when its a few people from a clan if they get killed they start ranting on yelling things like "Oh you fucking cock i'm gonna rape your mum!" and shit like that. The 12 year olds make it even worse with their annoying high pitched voices. Then you get the cocky people that say shit when they kill you just to deliberatly annoy you and try and get a response. The mute button means so much to me if it was ever taken away from me i would cry.
The game is loaded with glitchs and it ruins gameplay the level 70 10th prestige hack doesn't bother me to much because it isn't like they are getting much out of that just all the guns and perks but they still need to unlock all the attacthments for weapons and level up the perks to Pro. But glitch's are really fucking irritating they ruin the multiplayer and there is still some really bad glitch's that still havn't been fixed one that annoyed me the most was the rock glitch on Afghan, theres a rock that you can walk into and shoot people from inside it but the person on the inside can't be shot from the outside even from a weapon equiped with FMJ.
Unbalanced weapons and perks are also things that ruin the multiplayer most of the weapons are balanced enough but some of them are stupidly overpowered things like the AA-12 or Model 1887 Akimbo. Akimbo thats an unnecessary attacthment that just doesn't belong in the game some of the weapons are strong enough without wielding two of them. Again most of the perks are fine but there is a few that just don't need to exist like Commando for example i really hate when i start shooting at someone and been sure i would kill that person and then suddenly they teleport 8 feet and knife me in the head. One man army also just shouldn't exist because of people just planting fuck loads of claymores and then sitting up in a building with a noob tube and One Man Army is really fucking annoying especially if they have Danger Close on to. Another perk i hate is Last Stand that just annoys me when i have fairly beaten another player then all of a sudden they are shooting me half dead on the ground and if it's leveled up to Last Stand Pro then they can use their primary weapon.
And finally the maps ah the lovely maps now fair enough i really like most of the maps on it but mainly the maps that came with the game i did get the map packs even though i do believe they are overpriced (most of my mates play CoD thats probably the main reason i play it and i just got the packs cause they did) at first i didn't like the first map pack that was out but eventually i started liking them but the new one is just terrible. The main problem with the maps is the layout. Most of the maps have so much hiding places that it encourages players to camp in corners and K/D whore thats acctually another problem, one that nearly every online FPS game has it's the K/D ratio i think that most people camp because they don't want to die alot and ruin the K/D ratio i'm one of those people that don't give a fuck about it, i know that i'm pretty good at FPS games and i don't need a little number to tell me that. I think if games didn't have a K/D ratio then people wouldn't feel the need to camp, they wouldn't give a crap and just run about and play properly. I admit i hate campers i have never understood the fun of sitting staring at a doorway waiting for players to run through i relise people have differant playing styles but to me it's just a cheap tatic to get kills. Sniper campers don't bother me because not everybody likes to run around trying to quick scope most snipers do just lie down and shoot people from across the map and thats fine but i do get irked by the people that sit and stare at a door with something like a LMG waiting for a player to run in.
I play MW2 often but i have always prefered Treyarchs Call of Duty games as i play i notice all the problems in the game but i try to ignore them but anyway there thats what i feel ruins the game a bit.

The inherent problem with this game is giving too much power to the individual soldier. All the perks have been bumped up from the previous games making each player incredibly skilled. The killstreaks work to make this power even worse, by providing great incentive to campers. TBH, IW couldn't have predicted how this game would be flawed (not the glitches, that's all their fault). On paper, this was a great game, which is why so many people bought it.
Because it's MW2, and not MW. (It's like a expansion pack of MW, more gums, different maps, same boring story... it ads nothing original, nor creative)
The game should never have existed, The world would be a better place without it BUT THERE STILL MAKING MORE how much longer will this franchise go on for, will we see Call of Duty World war 3 in the future.
Everything....lag, noobtubers,unfair perks, unbalanced weapons, everything...
Although when the game was first released, it was great...
