Black Ops was amazing in my mind. The single player was alright and if you play xbox live at all you are used to the community by now. I have definitally played better games. But I have definitally enjoyed the time I have spent on the game.

Because it's over-rated, it drains so much of the gaming community how are either too lazy or too stupid to look at other options. So many other games do what it does, and better. That's not to say it's bad, just mediocre, and not to mention unbalanced. If you can rack up a 13 kill streak, you do not need either an overpowered helicopter or a bombarding plane, it just pins an already struggling team

Really? Another one of these threads?
It's that accursed "free will" that people have. People shouldn't be allowed opinions.
/sarcasm

It's just that some people have differing opinions and in the anonymous world of the internet, you can vocalise those opinions as loud as you want and get away with so people do. Just get over it. Do you REALLY care that much that people dislike it here or not?

I liked the game overall and although online can be frustrating at times, it's generally good fun.

Unbalanced.
Glitchy.
Hackers.
No Fixes (lazy support).
Silly stimulus package.
shaft for the computer users.

Still I enjoy it most of the time.

I fucking love the game, actually.
And I don't even play it online.

*puts on a Furburt mask*

Well that's just, like, your opinion man.

OT: I don't hate it. It confused me as fuck, but I enjoyed the climax and the multiplayer was fun
You have a Furburt mask?

We hate IW taking away our dedicated servers and a cheer when ever we see another news report about the IW reshuffle and just think.
"You guys got it wrong and now god bestows holy judgement!!!"

Tell me why dedicated servers matter so much.

It's cool to hate it, along with Halo, Gears of War, religion and JRPG's. If you want to be loved even more then say you love TF2, Half Life and Portal.

While I am half joking it does seem that the above seems scarily accurate for a rather large amount of people on this site.
There's probably a lot of ire towards MW2 because it was a game that was geared towards, and genuinely better on, consoles (and being an online forum, a lot of people here are PC gamers, and many PC gamers felt somewhat scorned by MW2).

Portal, Half Life, TF2 and L4D are all primarily PC games (seeing as the PC version is often the version that recieves the most, if not all, the attention from Valve) so they're going to be viewed in a better light (of course, the usual console gamers experience with these games is 'meh, they're alright').

I am just a curios person, and given how many "I hate MW2" threads appear on this site, I just wanted to know why so many people seam to hate it here.

Maybe I was wrong to make this thread, I personally think that everybody is entitled to what ever they think (unless they try to force me to think like them without good reason) but I think nobody will ever know anything in this world if they don't ask questions.

I don't hate mw2 but i only rented it... it honestly wasn't that bad but i only played co-op with my cousin and campaign.

I can see why their is so much ire for it but i don't care enough to hate it or dislike it.

My hate is reserved for twilight and people with furry feet....

Why do people hate MW2? I don't know, why people hate Halo? Why do people hate Gears of war? Why do people hate any game that seem to get popular?

It seems the more popular a game gets, the more hate it also receives. I see it as this. Some people just hate the fact that the games mention above get more attention than theirs.

They hate that they always see the hype around it while their game gets little to no attention at all.

They don't really hate the game in mention because most haters have never played the games, but they just hate the fanbase behind it. Which I myself am. I don't hate the game, I hate the fanbase.

Plus this sites seems to hold all the Halo, G It's like a ears, and Modern Warfare haters out there. It's like the HQ or them.

The amount of 12 year olds in every, single, game?
That's funny because this line is used in every game that is popular on why the game sucks. I hope this proves a point about something

So maybe it's not "because this game houses many 12-year-olds." Instead you guys should be saying "Online play of any kind holds a lot of 12-year-olds who shouldn't be one the games anyway, but do because their parents are dumb enough to buy it for them."

Then colour me uncool since I like Modern Warfare 2, enjoy Halo 3, have a lot of fun with a friend at Horde on Gears of War and enjoy JRPG's quite a bit. Even worse...I never saw Half-Life as anything special *blasphemy*

So on topic..I actually quite like Modern Warfare 2. I've never faced hackers nor had huge issues with them. Really I only find the Double Shotties and Commando Pro thing annoying.

I wouldn't want to disappoint you!
And you didn't.
Alright, for once, I'll try to debate you.
First, haven't played MP for a while so won't speak about that one.
However...
Furburt said:
Plus, the community I've encountered has to be one of the worst I've ever seen, and I can't change that like in other games, because guess what? No dedicated servers.
You can setup closed games with your friends, actually.
Furburt said:
The story mode is way too short for a game of this price.
It's pretty good on replayability (three times completed) and it has coop that's a blast.
Furburt said:
the story managed to be both bland and over dramatic
Which is really not a bad thing - the first one had the same problems, no one seemed to mind.
At least here it is accompanied by Hans fucking Zimmer's soundtrack [small] who coincidentally wrote the soundtrack to my fav movie of all-time that you also dislike and that makes me RAAAAGE. [/small]

These guys seems to get it. Cheers for realising what a putrid piece of shit that game is.
Critisism is alright and all but I kind of take offense at what you're saying.
So people who happen to like MW2 (such as myself) just don't "get it"? Am I somehow wrong because I like it better than BC2?

Hate implies I care enough about it for it to provoke a response of hatred - frankly I'm pretty sick of constantly hearing about it, but my reaction to the game itself is essentially "meh". What makes me angry is the dismissive way Infinity Ward condescended to the PC community, insisting that "using a mouse" or "the ability to change resolutions" are noteworthy features that prove they didn't just release a half-assed port of the console version, or the way they tried to spin their wholesale removal of dedicated servers as a "good thing".

It's one thing to make unpopular design decisions because you realized you can get away with it without significant financial repercussions, but when that goes hand in hand with treating PC gamers like we're idiots who will readily believe any ridiculous lie you feed us... yeah, that definitely doesn't make me hate your guts forever, no sirree!

Seriously though, go screw yourselves Infinity Ward - you've managed to make me despise you and I don't even play your games for crying out loud.
