What's with all the MW2 hate on these forums?

[arbiter592]

I don't understand why so many people hate MW2 on these forums. It is a very fun game with a badass campaign(not saying good story, just excellent gameplay) and an even better online system. It is addicting and exciting, and Spec Ops adds a lot of flavor to the mix. However, I do understand people hate the bugs and such the online has, and the no party chat on Xbox, but don't you think you are blowing those flaws out of proportion?

Please leave your response below.

The online is awful.

I'm pretty sure we hate on all games with flaws equally MW2 is simply the most recent that failed to entertain us so we are having fun at saying how much we don't like it. We deserve at least that much after spending $60 right? Also I see maybe one MW2 thread every few days, I know there is some hate but its not like we are waving a banner that says "DEATH TO MW2".

Additional note: charging $15 for 5 maps didn't help its popularity.

The multiplayer is broken, both in community and weapon balance. And when the other half of the game, the campaign, is a laughable five hours long, it does not a good game make.

You liked the online? I honestly can't see why. You either have to have super-human precognition to beat the campers, or you have to use one of five builds using the cheapest weapons in the game. Seriously, things like the G18 (a fully automatic pistol that can be dual-wielded, and at close range kills faster than a shotgun shell) make the game practically unplayable.

PC gamers have every right to despise MW2. Can't speak for the console crowds, though.

i don't mind modern warfare i just think it didnt live up to the standards that call of duty 4 made.
whereas i accept its flaws and still play it with my friends.

Bad online, rather idiotic weapons and playing strategies, lack of dedicated servers for PC...

Yeah.

Oh, and short campaign with a pretty damn bad story. 60-70 bucks for, well, 5 hours of campaign and half-assed multiplayer with no dedicated servers... I'm sure every PC gamer is all over this.

Of course, console owners are no less able to complain about every issue aside maybe dedicated servers because consoles don't usually get those anyways.

Gaaaaaaaah, enough of these topics, please! There are dozens upon dozens of "Why the hate on MW2" topics alone, never minding the countless others for every hated thing ever. I vote we start boycotting these!

Boring online play and the single player was too short. What was there for the single player was often really quite good. The assault on the Gulag mission was an excellent little set piece which I enjoyed immensely, and most of the other missions were decent too.

There just wasn't enough there!

The game is the same game, every single time, with new map packs and some other changed crap. It IS still crap. Just like with madden, but with guns, and someone forgot to put it in color.

its unbalanced and full of 8yrold trolls

I haven't played anything but the co-op parts at a mates house. From what I have seen of the online multi-player though, the maps look far too small and restrictive for my tastes.

 

[Harlemura]

Basically repeating what everyone's said, the online sucks and just isn't fun.
I paid for the game, why should he get such better weapons than me? He kills me before I can kill him, thus meaning I can't rank up, thus meaning I don't get the guns.
But hey, maybe some people find that fun.

Despite that, I did find the campaign fun.

A bolt action sniper is more effective than a shotgun at close range.

No.

 

[Neeko Masochist]

I didn't find the Single Player game too fun. It took me 67 tried to get past that fucking African ghetto crap on EASY. Multi-player is also highly unplayable.

What is the fucking point in Cold-Blooded, Silencers and everything else related to stealth if they can see you in the god damn kill-cam! That defies the point of Silencers! What mostly annoyed me though is starting at level one, the very first multi-player game I played everyone was over level 60! Being killed 50 times in one game is NOT my idea of fun.

And then there are the dedic-oops sorry, console servers which are about as stable as a binge drinker at Alcoholics Anonymous and the only beverage available is water. 20% of the games I played never finished because it would never migrate the host or because everyone pinged out due to lag.

Quite frankly, I find people only play MW2 online are either those who can't do anything better with their time and find being able to kill a Level 1 player with an AC130 somehow inflates their ego or they have serious social problems and can't help but scream down the mic at "n00bs".

Also, seriously! How the hell can an Electromagnetic Pulse be selective!? It would wipe out every damn electrical system or does no one actually understand that an EMP FRIES ELECTRONICS. You would never get your HUD back or anything.

They still are wringing money out of this game at full price,Including a $15 3-Map DLC(Okay, And two maps copy/pasted from the first game.) and another one in the making.

Whereas Assassin's Creed 2 just dropped price on Steam to $40, a game that came out something like 3 months after Modern Warfare 2.

It just doesn't hold up to the first game.

bad MP. poor SP and spec ops were only fun really with a friend. Call of duty mod war 2 basically destoryed the good name that Call of Duty 4 had.
