Heh. I have it on 360.
And your friend is lucky if the longest he has ever waited for a match is ten minutes.
Sometimes it never even finds a game for me. I can just sit there, searching for a match...
probably the most annoying thing about that game for me.
Odd. I can honestly say, I've never had any problems and haven't heard of anyone having problems (on the 360) finding games.

I do know that you NAT Type needs to be OPEN and not MODERATE, this makes a big difference. If your NAT Type is OPEN, then you shouldn't be having any problems finding games, but if your type is OPEN and you're still having problems finding games, then I have no idea what's wrong.
actually, i have trouble finding games too, its no small secret that the 360's matchmaking servers are sub-par (for MWF2 anyways)
Re-establishing what the second guy said, if your NAT type is strict or moderate, you pretty much can't find a game.

(also, to everyone that says MW2 isn't realistic, realistic warfare is driving in a Humvee for awhile and Maybe shooting at some retards that can't shoot a gun, not riding in the back of a truck while a Helicopter shoots missiles at you and the busy freeway...just saying)
You're an idiot. If realistic is jumping a 200 foot gap from a perfect ramp at the end of a steep hill on a 400lb snowmobile, if realistic is where a group of 5-6 terrorists can work their way methodically through an airport slaughtering innocent civilians and not get caught or killed, if if you honestly believe that if you shoot a barrel and it will blow up or that you can catch a man falling off an icy cliff face at the last second, if it is realistic that your health magically regenerates after you have so much blood on your face that you can't see what gun you're holding; than I want to live in your reality. That way I can eat free steak all day and crap money (which is pretty much what Infinity Ward does anyways).
Perhaps you should have read what he wrote just a few more times, before writing an angry retort that shows you completely missed his point...

Well here goes:
Single player was short, but decent. Ignore the story because its only purpose is to connect point A to point B, and you have an alright game.

Spec Ops takes a little effort, and you MUST play with a friend(because alone just isn't as fun), but overall, I like it. It also provides a good challenge if you try to beat the IW best times.

Multiplayer is pretty good too. Now that they've fixed most of the major glitches, I can't say that I have a problem with it. The main thing that I see is that it can punish you tremendously for trying to run around like an idiot and for trying to be a good sniper. It all depends on who you play with. Not your weapons or levels or perks, but the people you play with. All guns kill enemies, you just have to shoot them. All levels provide for decent gameplay, you just have to learn how to navigate them. And the only purpose of perks is to enhance your style of play, which you must discover on your own.

The real con to multiplayer are the people who complain about camping, tubing, knifing, and using models. A so-called camper is a player who isn't stupid enough to run into enemy fire in hopes of getting a kill. Those who complain about campers are the ones who keep running into that same spot and dying. If grenades are an issue, use a blast shield. It was put there for a reason. Don't like knives? Heart-beat sensor and learning to look in directions your teamates are not. And finally, having shotgun troubles? Treat them like stabbers, and then find a good sniping point(ie 'camping').

Main point: It can be fun if you want to play with a little thought and patience. If you try to go all Halo and regenerate your way through combat, you will die.

I find that the online is usually unblanaced with one side starting on a hill or a mountain fortress or what ever and the other team ( usually mine) has to charge up the hill taking enough bullets to put Normandy to shame. they did some interesting changes to the create a class so if you are sucking you'll get martyerdom or kidnap your killer's loadout. most of them are only somewhat useful where as others are completely useless. they also let you level up your perks. so theres soemthing else to worry about other than staring hopefully at the experiance point gods.

Story mode is all together depressing with more main characters dying than an episode of Kite ( really mixed up anime.) so if you like Micheal Bay this is the story for you!


Spec Ops this I think was a great addition. it's basically the story mode broken up into simpler missions where you fight legions of Russians, or Robots, or sneak through a military base if they included zombies in here I would say this game was worth full price but sadly there were no goosestepping zombies in sight.

Also the single player coop is missing but fillwed with spec ops so ... eh

the choice is yours I hope this helps.

I found it so-so. A bunch of arse-holes kept on telling me to buy the game and pissed on everyone who did not buy it. Me, thinking it was to be amazing(and I'm not easily influenced), bought it.
I'm a very calm person, but for a number of minutes I was on the verge of throwing it through my t.v screen. I paid about 54 Euros for it and was annoyed healvily. Like everybody else I found the single player to be way too short and the spec-ops uninteresting. I also didn't find anything "LEET" about the multiplayer.

Like Yahtzee, I beleive that you cannot base a game solely on multiplayer.

Bland campaign that was impossible to follow. But if you play an Activision game for the story you're doing something wrong.
The multiplayer is allright, it's not as good as MW1 and there is only 2 good maps, Afghan and Rust.
The Killstreak awards ruin the experience and the weapons does not provide a realistic feel to them.
[sup]Where the fuck did my recoil go? I am sort of missing it[/sup]
But i guess it's a mediocre first person shooter that plays all to many cards safely that it's impossible to fail. However, it does not bring anything new to the table.

My opinion? Buy it in 2 months when it's cheaper, it's not worth it at the moment.

I have a bit of ire for their irresponsibility when it comes to the PC version. Beyond that though, it's a good game. Short but excellent single player, spec ops is cool, and great multiplayer. It may be about the most stereotypical present day FPS you could get, filled with badass military guys and over the top, James Bond-esque plot, but all of those stereotypes and old hats are polished extremely well. A gaming connoisseur should be able to appreciate the high production values, however "Typical FPS" it is, and get there moneys worth. A casual player will most likely gravitate to its mass appeal, and absolutely love it. It's over hyped, but not by nearly as much as the haters would have you believe. Its a game that deserves 2 thumbs up and glowing praise, not worship or hate.

It's a game with a tremendous amount of untapped potential. It's plagued by glitches and balance issues. It has one of, if not the worst community in all of gaming (at least on 360 side), only rivaled by the screaming masses of the Halo community. I truly believe it could be a GREAT game if a lot of the killstreaks were toned down a bit, grenade launchers and the Commando perk were taken out entirely, and Shotguns were returned to Primary Weapon status like they should have been in the first place.

As it is now, you're either playing against campers, glitchers, knife/shotgun guys running around, or noob tubers. There are very few people playing legitimately in MW2, because playing legitimately isn't rewarding enough.
Not arguing about the game being good or bad, just your points. Since using shotguns, knifes, grenade launchers, and camping all equals illegitimate gameplay, I'd like to hear what exactly you think is legitimate gameplay. Because that's like half of the game right there.

Also I find it very interesting, and I'd like to hear from others on this one. Does everyone know that this game comes with a 'Mute' function? I know that the PS3 could only mute in-game on MW, but the XBox can fully mute all the time. I personally will just mute people who are annoying, but I always hear everyone else yelling at them to shut up, as if they lacked the ability to make them shut up with the press of a button. So, seriously, how many people are choosing to listen to screamers over muting them, and then complain as if they haven't been handed a solution already?

Worth a rent, at least. I mean, it's definitely fun, but you've got to see if you enjoy the multiplayer before you buy anything. I got to rank 26 and lost interest, but I can see myself going back to it.

I honestly enjoyed every single part of it. Sure, the story makes no sense, the multiplayer's unbalanced, etc., but that doesn't stop it from being loads of fun.

I played it at a friends house and didn't really like it. We passed the controller back and forth in Multiplayer and maybe that's why but I couldn't get into the game. It's very un balanced and it made me miss the spawn rooms in TF2. I can't count how many times I spawn right in front of the enemy or the magic pop in enemy right as you're trying to go somewhere. It was always the guy with the shotgun too.

All in all I'm getting Bad Company 2 week after next and will probably wait for a while until I get MD2.

I really enjoyed the campaign but fount it too short...

The multiplayer drove me away though, maybe it's just that I've changed from MW1...

Must be, because I've only heard of major complaints from the PS3, hence I bought it for my 360. I've also had no problems finding games, but my NAT type is OPEN and it's very important that it be OPEN!
Like I said before, just check the NAT type, strict or moderate makes it very hard to find games. There's an easy way to fix it, just check on google.

First off if someone has created a topic like this I apologise.

Right so I want every one's honest opinion on Modern Warfare 2. The reason I'm asking is that I've just been called a wanker for not wanting to buy the game. Is it really as good as people say it is or is it just another bland fps?
To be honest I believe this is a game you can do without. I refused to buy it because of the price point for the PC version and honestly, I don't think I'm "missing out" because I haven't bought the game. I've recently purchased Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2 (LOVE IT!), and am considering purchasing Dragon Age. I bought a dragon age tshirt off Bioware's site because it was freaking sweet. And the N7 tshirt because I'm a huge geek.

Maybe it's fun maybe it isn't, but until the price drops to at least the normal PC price point of $49.99 I'm not going to pick it up. And even then, meh... I just don't care that much.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 however... I will almost definitely order.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but oh well.

The singleplayer was bland, the spec ops was... okay-ish, when played with a friend. But personally I think Infity Ward was so far up their own arses from the success of the multiplayer from MW1 that they could burn their faces on their own stomach acid. They gave it almost no attention. It was just one great big half baked idea for me.
If you get flamed I shall protect you. =P
i would protect ye to i just plain dont like it

It's a pretty good game, but when Bad Company 2 is out I'll probably stop playing it. It's like an appetizer before a big, delicious dinner.
