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.
Really, MW2 sold more than any other game because of HYPE. Yep. HYPEEEEEEEEEE. Not because the game is good.
Ya i heard a lot of people just went at midnight to get it and played it for a few hours and just put it away realizing all the campers and glitches there were.
If you were actually good at the game you would understand how to avoid such noobish people.
Killstreaks influence camping, especially the nuke and chopper gunner.
First off, if someones camping, throw a stun/flash! It hurts them which lets you know someone is in there and GRENADES IS YOUR FRIEND! Throw a grenade! If it doesn't scare them, they will run away! BOOM! Open kill while their running like a baby.
Care Packages give people AC-130's for 4 kills in S&D. Annoying as hell because the person DID NOT deserve it.
Secondly, you have a 2.61% chance of getting an AC-130.
I could go on and on. If you want to know more about something, then ask.
Im level 70 10th prestiege now. Im working on EVERY single unlock. Im such a beast with the rpg i have 500 kills... When i see a camper...BOOOM...their name is sharpie markered on my rpg..
Now, using a rocket launcher against infantry is acceptable, but only if all or a combination of 3 or more of these conditions are met: >You want to clear a room, and the room has 2 or more enemies within. >You have no grenades, special or primary. >The enemy is behind cover and your guns cannot penetrate it. >You are on a deathstreak of 8 or more. >You're pissed off at a camper that has killed you 3 or more times in a row. >You're Microe. >You're Jesus. >You're a noob.

Yep a noob that doesn't like getting killed on MW2 ... If people camp i just sneak up on them and BAM they dead!
Phew, thought for a second there my thumper was a noob tactic
I hate the Thumper (NooB GuN), I prefer...
ACR/UMP with Red Dot and Silencer Magnum with FMJ and Tactical Knife Semtex or Frag Stun x2 Bling Pro or Scanvenger Pro Stopping Power Pro Steady Aim Pro or Commando Pro
Deathstreak as Final Stand (Because Painkiller is for homos and Copycat is retarded) Killstreak as Harrier, C-Gunner, Nuke <--Gotten 24 Nukes (Only camped when I got my C-Gunner)
