The campaign is just a mess. *Spoilers* There are so many plot holes I just can't believe it, here are just a FEW of them:
The Story First couple of plot holes is the airport scene. Makerov is a well known international terrorist (essentially the Osama Bin Laden of the day), yet for the airport attack, he doesn't wear a mask. Don't Russian airports have security cameras? I mean honestly, this man is one of the most wanted people on the face of the earth yet no one bothered to look at the security tapes to see him walking around the airport with an M240?
Shepard says that he lost 30,000 men 5 years ago when Al Asad detonated the nuke wiping out the invading troops in his capital city. However, to those of you who don't remember, that was a Marine assault on the city, and Sheppard is an Army General. So, while I can understand him being mad about it, him saying they were his troops isn't true, unless of course he changed service branches and managed to work his way to General in 5 years time.
The Russians have a firm grip on DC, yet the military's plan isn't to launch a strong counter-attack to retake the city, instead they're going to just carpet bomb the crap out of it? How does that make any sense? In doing so they would destroy things such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, not to mention the White House and Capitol building.
There are many more I can think of that are smaller, such as when you are in Brazil, and when you chase the guy who shot your driver into the streets, CARS AND EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE! HOW THE HELL? The person has a Desert Eagle! Not a rocket launcher.
The Multiplayer
Infinity Ward really effed with the MP big time. There are some MAJOR balancing issues.
Killstreaks influence camping, especially the nuke and chopper gunner.
Maps are absolutely TERRIBLE, and they influence even more camping because each and every one of them have like 5 doorways to every house, 17 windows, and a million vantage points. Coupled with messed up spawns, this just turns into a random mess where gun fights last half a second with the insane power of every single gun (although assault rifles still beat EVERYTHING).
Care Packages give people AC-130's for 4 kills in S&D. Annoying as hell because the person DID NOT deserve it.
Killstreaks carry over in S&D. This is more of a traditional thing.
Assault rifles are death machines. 0 recoil, extreme power and accuracy. They basically make every other gun useless, especially the SCAR-H and ACR.
Sniping has been ruined because of the assault rifles, witch can essentially do EVERYTHING better than ANY OTHER type of gun.
Some secondary weapons (Model 1887's, PP2000) are rediculous. They have as much power as primary weapons. The 1887's have EXTREMELY INSANE RANGE FOR A SHOTGUN (they may have patched the Akimbo ones, but if you put FMJ on with Akimbo it's range is back to normal!). Terrible!
There is so much more to say, but I will wait for people to reply...
In conclusion, this game is just a noob-friendly mess. IW ignored their actual fanbase, and got greedy. All we wanted was COD4 with the major problems fixed and with better maps, weapons, story, graphics and game modes in general.
Elitemagical, yes the sort of ghostly and invisible box of vulnerable substance that sort of floats around your character allowing anyone to shoot a metre behind you and still manage to do damage, is lag.
Alt, the attack helicopter was in no way annoying, only on certain maps. It isn't as great as you think.
IW should have improved since the last COD, you know listen to the community....
Grrrrrrrrrr. I don't want to type shit out anymore. No offence, but I am not into explaining anything anymore.
I could, but I'm done with this thread, honestly. No offence intended to you, Alt, or Elite. My fingers are starting to hurt. Just PM me with anything you think needs explaining...
bro you're just a hater man. Honestly this game has a bit off bad things..the killlstreak is the only bad thing i hate. everything else i deal with. I love getting noobtubed and model 1887ed. Plus the m4a1 is all purpose its great for everything, try it out.
I am not a 'hater', these are facts. I don't understand how anyone can enjoy dying, and I don't have anything against the M203's.
The M1887's, though, are just insane. They can shoot 40 meters, that is farther than the Machine Pistol DAMAGE drop off ranges.
Yes, the M4 is great for everything (same with every other assault rifle[except the FAL and F2000]), but it has a tad bit more recoil than other Assault Rifles, so it is not that good.
The SCAR-H, ACR, TAR-21, M16, and the FAMAS are just insane death machines. They can literally SNIPE.
The M1887's, though, are just insane. They can shoot 40 meters, that is farther than the Machine Pistol DAMAGE drop off ranges.
And when people combine that with Marathon and Lightweight, or whatever perks make them so fast, it's insane. They can dodge any bullets that come at them, shoot father than most guns and can oneshot you. Dying against them really, really sucks.
ACR is just really messed up. It does a lot of damage, which is understandable, but when it's doing that from a rooftop far above you or many metres away from a claustrophobic room it just becomes silly.
Also, isn't the Glock 18 a bit over-powered? It always seems to me that it shoots too long-range.
I don't get the whining about knife runners
The knife is a stealthy weapon, but has a slow uhm . . . rate at which you can fight with it. When you're running faster than a lot can aim with a next to completely silenced oneshotting weapon it can be pretty frustrating dying - and watching everyone dying around you.
and it'll be nearly impossible to best COD4 in the FPS department.
In the FPS department there are many FPSs that don't force you to hide in small buildings because there are loads people with arsenals of over-powered weapons sprinting around on the ground.
That's probably me being a bit harsh. I am just not used to shooters like CoD . . .
Ramirez, take out that chopper with your bear hands! Then, deflect that Tactical Nuke back to Russia with your Riot Shield! After that get to the top of the White House, killing all the Russians, blindfolded, with a 200 pound Brick strapped to your back, and an M9 with one mag! Afterwards, defend the Burger Town with a signal flare and a pare of boots! Then, do what Cpl Dunn tells you to do! Cpl Dunn, tell Ramirez to do shit!
dude...mw2 has the best online community ever this game has vastly improved online play compared to cod4 and sure the storyline for the campaign is not that awesome and u die as almost every character u portray but its still an amazing game all around
Yeah true tswann33, but there are whining little babys now adays... ''oh cheeez dis model1887's so ova powerddddd take off plzzz (((((((('' thats why the models range were reduced...
yea and not everyone uses them and back on the subject of assult rifles....look at real-life war...does everyone run around using shotguns or dual pistols/g18s in afgahnistan?(idc about spelling)...NO they use assult rifles! so i kinda like how thats more realistic
IW should have improved since the last COD, you know listen to the community....
Lol, it isn't reason to hate because they didn't. It's still a good game, if not disappointing compared to its predecessor.
No offence, but I am not into explaining anything anymore.
Giving out your opinions is not explaining. Don't act all tortured by four pages of discussion; it's annoying and quite frankly if I can last in a 72 page discussion spanning a few months in the debate section of the forum you can last four pages discussing a video game. Suck it up, cupcake. (OMG I've always wanted to type/say that)
I could, but I'm done with this thread, honestly. No offence intended to you, Alt, or Elite. My fingers are starting to hurt. Just PM me with anything you think needs explaining...
The melodrama is killing us. It really is.
You're not explaining us your grand wisdoms towards the almighty suckitude of the Satanic Video Game Force of Infinity Ward and his Rancid Seneschal, the Multiplayer of the Dreaded Realm of Modern Warfare 2, Devourer of Souls, for crying out loud. You're giving us your opinions.
The knife is a stealthy weapon, but has a slow uhm . . . rate at which you can fight with it. When you're running faster than a lot can aim with a next to completely silenced oneshotting weapon it can be pretty frustrating dying - and watching everyone dying around you.
But it sure as hell isn't a noob tactic. It's easy to kniferun, bu it's tough to actually get kills by doing it - most players are smart enough to recognize to shoot the hell out of a person rushing you with a pistol. If not, they deserve to be tacknifed.
In the FPS department there are many FPSs that don't force you to hide in small buildings because there are loads people with arsenals of over-powered weapons sprinting around on the ground.
Which COD are you talking about? >.<
Either way, difficulty doesn't affect how good it is unless it's unplayably tough. COD4 wasn't unplayably tough.
YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID. OH MY GOD. STUPID. THE STUPIDITY OF YOUR POST'S IS RAGE WORTHY.
Tswann33, MW2 does not have a good community. There are so many hackers, boosters, and glitchers. Way more than COD4. COD4 is better than this game, so it is not amazing all round.
Games are meant to be FUN, not realistic you tool (unless it is ARMA or Operation Flashpoint). This game is unrealistic enough, Duel wielding 130 year old shotguns, NO RECOIL, sniper rifles don't kill in one shot to the head (without SP and with a silencer equipped). The list goes on and on. Games are meant to be fun.
To Microe, the M1887s were not fixed, if you Bling it with FMJ and duel wield them, their range is increased. AND YES THEY WERE OVERPOWERED. FU-CKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
HARDCORE IS NOT REALISTIC BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE PHYSICS, RECOIL, AND BULLETS DON'T INSTANTLY RAPE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE, PEOPLE GET INJURED, THEY DON'T JUST INSTA-DIE. IF YOU WANT TO GET AS CLOSE TO WAR AS POSSIBLE, PLAY FUCKING ARMA OR OPERATION FLASHPOINT.
Doctorfunk, These are opioins. The more you complain about them the worse their going to get. If you want people to stop telling you about "omg ur sooo wong." then just ignore them. These posts are opioins.

Dingdingding, we haaave a winner.
MW 2 isn't a bad game, but it has nowhere near the sportsmanship or balance of the original Modern Warfare.
You guys are right. MW2 is the best game ever created. I mean, the battles just flow so well, the action and balance is just... Breathtaking.
/omgttlypwn
The story makes so much sense, I can't believe how wrong I was about this game. I regret calling you stupid idiots (though you probably are).
I feel so loved, so needed here . . . *single tear*
/Alt is going to make a snazzy reply to this and then I'm going to......
. . . dance in the frolicky fun field of chocolate rainbows and unicorn daisies like the fanboys? OMG!
Yeah, I completely agree with what you're saying. A community that screams 'HAX!' and 'f u noob camper' all the time makes up an awesome community. </sarcasm>
oh cheeez dis model1887's so ova powerddddd take off plzzz ((((((((
Don't cry because the game is being downed. People (besides you) just do not enjoy dying from a weapon that is stronger than it should be.
Suck it up, cupcake. (OMG I've always wanted to type/say that)
I will admit, that was a pretty epic way to end that paragraph.
But it sure as hell isn't a noob tactic. It's easy to kniferun, bu it's tough to actually get kills by doing it - most players are smart enough to recognize to shoot the hell out of a person rushing you with a pistol. If not, they deserve to be tacknifed.
I know it's not a noob tactic, I don't class anything besides tubing as a 'noob tactic'. And to reply to that, most players are smart enough to recognise there's a guy with a knife and pistol charging towards them, that does not mean they're fast enough to shoot.
Which COD are you talking about? >.<
In the FPS department there are FPSs that aren't CoD. *gasps from all the fanboys*
Either way, difficulty doesn't affect how good it is unless it's unplayably tough.
