I see lots of people on AG say it's bad but it's not. Those who have said this probably suck online , A Halo fan or really have'nt played it.

You see I want to know how many people think it's bad. I personally don't think it's bad . All the people who do obviously have'nt played online , special ops or the campaign.

You got to actually try every bit of the game before saying it's bad.

So what's your opinion on MW2?

(Only people who have actually played MW2 please)

Er.. I'm not sure you played any shooters other than this.

If they made the maps bigger, you wouldn't be able to find anyone.

Say that to Battlefield Bad Company 2 Players

I love that game. The only reason I can see people not liking it is because they think it's cool to hate popular things.

Or because we actually look at it from further out, and see other shooters in comparison. No destructible ground, no big maps, no balanced weapons, no cool gameplay in ads, no squads, no teamwork, retarded perks, stupid tactics to win actually win.

Well I love the game Bad Company Battle Field2 and that games maps are like 7 minutes long.

Huh? It's actually much more strategic and a round can take over an hour in Rush. That could be a 2 hour game on the same map. Not that it's a bad thing, because it also allows much different gameplay styles. As (unlike MW2) the point system is gorgeously evened out, and I really appreciate their point system for the fact that as a Medic, Engineer or Recon, I can mount up the same amount of points (roughly) playing completely differently.

yes , I think that is why people are saying they hate it... because 1 person says they hate it ... Everyone follows except a group of people against it.

Er, no, because as I said before, we prefer to compare and also analyse the features of the games, not just look at the constant action that requires little strategic thinking and often skill, along with multiple whiny kids who have nothing better to do (I personally played WoW, and found the Lore itself better than all of CoD4 / MW2). Oh, and that's unlie the people whom say "it's the best cos everyone thinks it is", it's the same thing, and you are still too blind to realise it. ... I exaggerated there but. You get the point.

Unfortunately, the issues in Modern Warfare 2 are small in comparison to other games. They are only made bigger because the game is so popular.

Hacks, whiny kids, bad gameplay, retarded perks, unbalanced weapons, insanely small maps, rediculous knifing system (You can knife 3ft away without commando, yes, that's true). The ONLY - ONLY problem that Battlefield Bad Company 2 has is the favourite servers browser etc, which I am certain (unlike MW2 yet again), they will soon fix.
No joke, but I am not sure if Activision actually takes pride in its work, but seriously, it is incredibly painful to see so much talent wasted (I've used UDK and see the difficulty, and I can also see the easiness to see flaws to be honest).

They are obviously doing something right, being as popular as it is

Yeah, advertising, spent so much on good graphics (which btw doesn't compare to BFBC2) and advertising the game itself sucks, which fair enough, would be ok. Except peoples blindness and the probability that Activision doesn't take pride in its work. Because it will in the end effect gameplay, I see essence in the game (I played a little BFBC1, and alot of BF2), which is actually very exciting as I know it's the same form of gameplay. With MANY improvements from BF2, which I haven't seen in MW2 from CoD4, I also might add.

Special Ops and Campaign were great for MW2, nothing else was though.

BFBC2 is without a doubt the best shooter I have ever seen, and will continue to outrank the CoD series, of that I am 90% sure.

And that is why BC2 is less popular than MW2! Because BC2 appeals to a smaller demographic! Thank you for proving my point!

BC2 = Grown up / strategic thinkers.
MW2 = Annoying kids and "harcore" noobs.

Spec-ops ,for my opinion is f*****g irritating.
But campaign... that`s another story.
Halo fans mostly hate it because theres no &quotlasma grenades" and stuff. A LOT of people think Counter-Strike is better... Really dudes... THERE IS NO ACTUAL REASON FOR COMPARING COUNTER STRIKE WITH MW2
Sure there are no dedicated servers (which kinda sucks) , but atleast its fun! Seriously . how many people can say , but really mean that the game sucks? 0. People hate it because they mostly suck (in campaign) on Normal !

But dudes... why rate a game that is more popular than Halo badder than Halo , ONLY because of the (kinda) difficulty of the game..

Sure its unfair that on the beginning your Lvl. 1 and sometimes end up with all Lvl. 70 dudes. but hey . Its a awsome game... just deal with it!

Trafficing routes are too overcrowded

THese are the reasons why Mw2 is soooooo FRustrating

It requires no skill to be good at.
Instantaneously hitting bullets, no recoil weapons (or if there is any, almost all visual recoil), killstreaks if you are good/lucky, deathstreaks if you are bad, awards for stupid things (longshot), perks, attachments, etc.

so, it seems like you've played the game, but.. wat? that makes barely any sense, if you suck at the game, or if you get unlucky with lag and delay, you get deathstreaks, if you're good, you get killstreaks... sounds fine with me, i think the killstreak/deathstreak thing, is great. if you can get a longshot with a USP .45, talk to me, cuz i had 1450, and i did that. (that was funny) anyways, no recoil weapons, is it cheap if someone uses a no recoil weapon in Iraq? whats gonna happen, 'aaaaw, you n00b *dead*' no. It does require skill to be good at. And luck.

I don't know if this has been stated before, but people just dislike the game for the simple fact that nearly everyone is talking about it, so much to the point that many are annoyed. Therefore, they just dislike the hype over a game that, in their mind, doesn't deserve the hype. I myself find it quite annoying that everywhere I go, I hear people talking about their killstreaks and whatnot. While I don't own the game, I have played, so I will say that I can understand why so many people are addicted.

Lol this isn't real life, if you get shoot in the head by an M9 in MW2 (non-hardcore and I also think hardcore), you won't die, or barely get hurt except some red on your screen, the red isn't real life, the living isn't real life, and the regenerating isn't real life. Nor are the classes, because in Iraq the units don't use the FAL, they would either use Bushmaster ACR or M16A2 / M4A1 Carbine (in my opinion). There will of course be a few strike teams (Shotguns / Submachine) and Heavy Assaults (LMG). But that's beyond the point. Nor are the maps big enough for real life, or shotgun range (AA-12 can shoot at 70 yards effective distance irl, so imagine Rust), which adds up to be rediculous. Oh and in real life I think the M9-3 Raffica would do worse than an M4A1 Carbine. 3 Shots from M9-3 = Dead, 5-6 Shots from M4A1 Carbine = Probably dead.

The only good things about MW2 was insanely awesome storyline (and the start with Greens lines) and Spec Ops all on Veteran.

I already made a much bigger explaination and put it on Page 5, hope you read it.

Well, single player sucked, mission mode was kinda cool.
XBox Online is the only reason to use it.

I personally like play Grab the Flag (I think thats what its called) with Lightweight and Marathon Pro, and go all ninja on the flag! o3o xD

I think that CoD MW2 is great, Singleplayer and Multiplayer either.
The only problem is that there is a lots of cheaters and hackers nowadays
When you want to play Multiplayer, prepare to meet a n00btuber with Aimbot or a wallhacker with double G18.
Well, that's a bullshit. And it's the only problem.
Seriously, I can't understand those guys who say
that this game isn't good at all. Ridiculous.

Hehe, Cheaters Hackers, kids, unbalanced weapons, retarded ranges (shotguns are too short, knives are too long), Overpowered weapons, too small maps, no need for snipers (I mean seriously, the ranges irl make sniping on the map look like shooting a dummy with a pistol at point blank range).

You have to understand that I see it in comparison to other games, I'm not saying you don't, but it just seems like a game for kids (I am 13, but I'm not blind), with hype and peer pressure, as well as (said before) you can get the weapons you will need in the first 10 ranks (exceptions: Tar-21 and Bushmaster ACR) which just take progression out from the whole thing.
And yeah, I am a progressionist, I prefer know what I'm doing and getting payed for it than a "Woop woop!" when I complete it and nothing else (Which I appreciate the Titles and Emblems though, they're a nice little flair)

ok, i agree that it was an INSANELY awesome story line. lets put that aside, and get to the problems with online. yea, great game in my opinion, my favorite, and yea, i get really pissed when it lags, or i time out. but it happens. it happens less in other games but hey, you want me to point out all your flaws? you have mustard on your shirt. see? didnt feel good did it?

What I think is that the game is enjoyable, at some rate. After a while you just get annoyed by the boosters, laggers, etc.

So many things are wrong with it. #1: There is nothing special about. Almost every other online game is better than it. #2: Cod 1, Cod2, Cod3, Cod4, Cod5, and Cod6 have all been almost exactly the same.
your an idiout Cod6 is MW2
