Well for starters, criticising other reviews doesn't make for a good review.
Now for some constructive criticism (and I really do mean Constructive. Not "Ah your shit")
-You've touched on the problems that EVERY game has, so that's good. But what about the game play? Is it the same and therefore sucks, or is it the same and therefore good? (There's a fine line in their somewhere).
-"ITS ALL THE SAME" doesn't really count for much, especially when we don't know what "same" is...you could be referring to COD4, but you might also be referring to Rainbow 6...
-What do you mean by "Same Stuck Cinematic"? Are you suggesting the cinematic don't work...or that they are similar to COD4
-"Music Starts at Wrong Time" and "Always stopping and starting" I suspect are issues to do with your system. When I played World at War, the audio in cut scenes was out of sync with the video...This wasn't a problem on a better computer.
-What on earth is Uncharted 2? Some of us haven't played it and therefore won't understand your comparisons.
-Finally, believe it or not, there are some of us out there who actually want this game on PC, mostly for the Single Player. I imagine it is possible to give us some information on it without giving too much away...but this is just me nit-picking.
Hope that was in some way useful. Here, have a LOLSnake for your effort

That made me laugh.steeltrain said:If you got an issue, here's a tissue.
OT: Opinions. Ever heard of them? I'm still getting it (after I've upgraded my PC).
Wait, so you, someone who obviously didn't like COD4, are telling those of us who loved it not to get this game? And you're calling the media biased?
For one thing, overhype is one of the most immature and outright stupid reasons to say a game sucks. Really, it is. A good game is good, regardless of how many people think it's amazing. Hype has absolutely no effect on quality, and to judge a game based on the amount of hype it got is simply ignorant and idiotic. And yes, that knocks out about half of yourtrolling argument.
Not connecting to a game is a glitch to be ironed out in pretty much every multiplayer game ever at launch. Welcome to online gaming.
No difference in layout from the entire series? Yeah, because we all know there's no difference between World War II and modern-day conflicts. None at all. How silly of me to even think that.
To say a game sucks because another one is better is actually a logical fallacy. I don't remember what that one is called, but to say something sucks simply because there is better out there is simply incorrect. Sure, Uncharted 2 is an amazing game, but even if it is better than Modern Warfare 2, that's no reason to completely abandon the game. Beyond that, this is gaming: it's an art. Your word on which game is better is far, far from the definitive definition of quality. As in any art, which game is better than which game is completely up to the player.
And really, to point out the fact that you can't run forever as a flaw? Really? Just... wow.
You're not the only one on The Escapist with the "It's popular so I have to hate it" mentality (which is why we can't have Halo threads on this site), but that is no excuse. Learn to think for yourself and form your own opinions. Was it well-made for what it was? Did they tell the story as well as in COD4? Was it as atmospheric and intense? Your entire review was basically trolling and nitpicking: if you can point out some real flaws in the gameplay or presentation, you would actually have a point. But as it stands right now, you really don't.

Wah wah wah. Honestly, in my opinion people that complain about stuff like this (remember there was some similar crap over ODST) didn't actually pay and attention to the story at all. They just skip/ignore all the cut scenes then ignore all the chatter and barely pay any attention at all other than shooting at stuff. I may have only recently played CoD4 and CoD5 and decided to continue on with MW2, the only similarity I see is what I assume to be the CoD formula (War never changes. Right?), but the games themselves are all very different.
I may be wrong but this is the impression I'm given when I read most of your complaints and maybe you would have felt something if you'd been paying attention from the start, no? As for the rest, probably stolen from one of the PC gamers dislike lists.

Actually, were I a troll, I would have jumped on his argument, cussed him out, and attacked his argument in a way that didn't even accurately represent what he said in order to try and prove that MW2 is an amazing game.DalekJaas said:
Note, however, that I made no comment as to the quality of MW2. Why? Because I haven't played it, and I'm not about to judge it without having done so. My entire post was in response to the OP's arguments, not the quality of MW2. That was all I was talking about. Hardly troll-like.
For the record though, that entire article was pretty much nothing more than the same immature whining about the PC version I've heard this whole time. Sure, it was more structured and knowledgeable than most, but it was still just an attempt to tear the game apart based on one aspect of the game: and aspect that only even effects the multiplayer. Hardly a basis on which to judge the entire game.
To be honest, I haven't been following the debate because I don't care. I am trying to keep up on the controversy surrounding it, but I'm not interested in reading people

So you know nothing and don't care yet you still right paragraphs.
I am (and presume he is) is talking about the PC version, if you don't play PC don't reply cuase the dedicated servers debate doesn't affect you. A lot of people buy FPS for the multiplayer now, not singleplayer. Thats why adult gamers and children, all around the world are complaining about this, its not a few people having a whine. If people only bought it for SP then no one would complain would they?
And the OP has a poorly written topic that expresses some of the views of most PC gamers.
I have to disagree, I thought the game was amazing.
One of the best, most exhilarating 8 hours of my life, I was shaking with adrenalin after it.
Now onto veteran I must go...

Your post seems more like a rage than an adequate reason why you disliked the game, because you pretty much just parrot "This is overrated, it's exactly like the last games, Uncharted 2 is better" over and over again or just pointing out something and saying "This sucks" without really explaining why. Also the whole thing seemed like one big incoherent run on sentence. But more importantly, if you didn't like Cod 4, why the hell did you buy the sequel?
Ad hominem attacks ey? What he said was that there was only really one issue, to do with multi-player, that a vocal minority is attacking. Yes, lack of dedicated servers is a *****, but it's hardly game breaking. Personally, I think it's making a mountain out of a molehill.DalekJaas said:
Wow, what maturity! Changing my quotes? You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.DalekJaas said:
I don't recall saying I didn't play PC games, or that I knew nothing about this, but whatever: make of it what you want. My only point was that most of his complaints were completely fallacious and just plain stupid. The dedicated servers issue was mentioned once, and most of the complaints after that were just plain crap, regardless of how good the game is: the arguments carried no weight or logic at all.
Look, I get that no dedicated servers is a problem to multiplayer PC gamers, I just don't think it's worth boycotting the thing like has been happening: I think people are overreacting is all. I don't need to be affected by it to understand it: I study gaming as a whole, not just the few games and systems that will affect me. And I'm trying to state my observations calmly and logically, but if you want to troll about it and project said trolling onto me, feel free to continue doing so.
Are you complaining about the price? just shut up, the aussie dollar, even during the worst slump of the gfc, shouldn't make any of our games at the price that they are now.
I'm not buying it because I would get it on PC (I like shooters like this more on PC), but that would exclude me from the MP. Not that I would play MP much anyway.
Then there is the fact that it is a pretty unoriginal shooter (from what I can see), which only lasts about 5 hours according to several sources. If this was a shooter like Half Life, with stuff to see here and there, then it could be longer. But this is more or less pure run and gun, if it follows the mold of the other CoD games. Thus, this seems totally uninteresting to me.
