It seemed sort of like the QQing about SC2 around launch (if you recall, even guys like Artosis were producing fountains of tears about it), only a guy like Artosis is really quite reasonable, and once he discovered he was being stupid about it, he relented, and the FPS community lacks this sort of deeper analysis that SC has as the most developed eSport franchise. Sure, they needed to balance more, but it wasn't ANYWHERE NEAR as unbalanced as people suggest, and the ridiculous breadth of equipment combined with the hard counter nature of a lot of setups for other setups made for a really interest rock paper scissors experience. Of course, MLG lack the fortitude to support something like that and so banned a whole bunch of in game stuff for no reason, and IW was basically in the middle of imploding during this whole period (hence the lack of contract renogotiation), effectively destroying the competitive scene. It's a real shame that MW2 gets such a bad rap, because it's a really, really, really good game, and it just happened to be the victim of a snowballing meme of internet tears. No dedicated servers No modding No developer console Re-colored CoD4 with a worse campaign and less features Black Ops looks a little more promising. Servers are back which is a giant plus. The campaign has a more interesting setting. Wager matches look like a great way to have some fun. Weapon recoil is said to be brought back to the well balanced CoD2 level. | ||

I think IamTheWhiteGuy is referring to the console versions and I completely agree with him. Youtubers playing MW2 got a huge following and because some of the more popular ones began QQing about a few perks/balance issues, the entire community went haywire. I think MW2 is amazing, I still play it till this day when I'm frustrated with SC2 or when I want to just play something more relaxing. I played almost every FPS you can name and I have to say that MW2 is definitely up there when it comes to fun factor. It annoys me when people complain about the game when its one of the most polished and enjoyably FPS' ever made. | ||

I would argue the PC version of MW2 (or CoD 4 or WaW) has ALWAYS been terrible for anyone who isn't a competitive FPS gamer. You get stupid mods that add ridiculous features, unnecessary team stacking autobalance, giant multicolored writing all across the screen and other unpleasantness, and it is verging on impossible to find a good server with 11 other reasonable people to play on. Anyone who has tried ground war on a console knows that Call of Duty is not Call of Duty once you get up to nine players a side on those maps. Once you start doing 32 (i.e. 95% of the available servers), the game is well and truly fucked. It's not Call of Duty any more. It's not tight, it's not focused, and it's even less balanced than MW2 was in the first place (which, when you consider the amount of content, is honestly not so bad). It's an unending rain of grenades and harriers, and it gets stupid in a hurry. If you don't have access to a private server, and you don't have access to a competent team and another competent team to scrim against, it is impossible to get a real game of CoD in. That's virtually everyone. With MW2, I press a button, and one in ten times I get a British 56K host lagfest, and the other nine times I get an awesome 50-70ms game (instead of the 20ms I'd get with a dedicated server) in which me and eleven other people kill each other for five to ten minutes and all have a good time while doing it. I'm not even going to touch sleepy's comment that CoD 4 had more features than MW2. If he means dropdown menu options, he's probably right, but MW2 beats the crap out of MW1 for actual game content, and that's how I'd prefer it. | ||

There is no way hell that can be legal, the shear amount of rape goes against the Geneva convention (section 2.3, rapes per non-bovine child). The most generous auto aim since god himself guided a fly into my eye, coupled with the precision of a mouse. Hell just the verticality of a mouse opposing the controllers 'up 30 degrees' would be imbalanced, and playing people are effectively wearing bocking gloves. Installing now. . . + Show Spoiler + sadly lack of xbox may make that a little difficult. Though that does safe me from thirteen year old ear rape. Even ignoring the awesome zombie-ness I'm really looking forward to release, the failure of MoH (common! what 4 guns, no choices, spawn camping come rape etc) just leaves me wanting something to replace B:Bad Company 2 and thats just a fake Battlefield. (Anyone else looking forward to this 'new' Battlefield announcement on Friday ? ) Though the whole MW2 has left me with the suspension I'm getting back with my crazy crack filled ex.. | ||

It is quite polished, they just included some really bad ideas that they also polished and only really fixed one of the issues (akimbo models) after release. It did a few more things I don't personally like, but aren't game breaking (don't like Marathon's infinite sprint for a number of small reasons). Also had a number of smaller annoyances. Like fixing the insane range/deadliness of grenades and then just adding Semtex to nullify that fix. At least you had a good chance of running from a COD4 grenade, unless it was cooked or was a lucky across the map throw. And if the opponent cooked it properly, good for him. I'm Vortok on PSN (and on West Coast). Wouldn't mind having some TL people to play with either. Friend is trying to hit 70 of his current prestige in MW2 (currently 66, aiming for 1 rank a day right now) before Black Ops and is dragging me along in case anybody wants to gets a few last MW2 games in. Mostly demolition spam, though. Which reminds me, I wonder what the good, non Search game mode will be for leveling in Black Ops. In COD4 it was headquarters, but in MW2 the teamwide points for having an HQ tick got nerfed down to 20% of what it was in COD4, if I recall correctly. MW2 it was Demolition once you got to the later levels since the match bonus got pretty enormous given how short the rounds are. No idea what it was in WaW as I didn't play that one. | ||
