I'll start by saying this: I enjoyed this game immensely and thought it was well done.
Still there are several things that annoyed me about it:
The game was too gamer-fied. We now have trained professionals of the SAS on the battlefield with mohawks (Soap) and it seemed like a weak attempt to make it "cool". Oh and one of the SAS guys wearing a balaclava with a skull painted on it made him look silly to me.
Having the option to dual wield uzis and SHOTGUNS??!? I can accept dual smg's (just) but I doubt dual wielding shotguns is possible and certainly not practical. I'm all for it in multiplayer, its good fun. But in singleplayer it annoyed me.
The red dawn scenario was a little silly and overdone. It was around the time when I found myself battling through the whitehouse and the oval office that I thought to myself that the game was trying too hard to outdo itself and make it bigger and better than MW1. I got the same feeling when I was speeding on a snowmobile firing a glock at people gangsta style and doing massive jumps
Also alot points yahtzee made on ZP were valid (as usual) especially about the repetitions of shock and awe losing its feel.
MW1 was great because it felt plausible like it could actually happen under some extreme circumstances. MW2 went a bit overboard.
Also all the guns now look theyre made out of space age plastic and sound like it. But thats how the latest guns are made these days I guess. I just missed some of the more conventional weapons that actually looked like weapons.
That said I still enjoyed the singleplayer alot and the multiplayer is good fun with all the customizability. The maps are less structured and arena like how they were in MW1 which changes things too. The amount of kill streak rewards flying through air does make the game a little annoying at times. but I can live with that.
I understand it would be hard to for infinity ward to make a game as good as or better than MW1. people are undoubtdly going to dislike some things. doing more of the same was the safe way to go, and IW did it well, like only they could.
thoughts, comments or abuse anyone?
