    For the Europeans I feel bad for you because pretty much all the servers are in America and you guys have to connect over an ocean.

    A most amazing game, far superior to even CoD4. The online multiplayer runs great, and matchmaking is way better than a server browser.

Maybe it's just me, but 32 on 32 or ever 16 on 16 were extremely frantic and not much fun to play. Nine on nine feels just right if you actually play it.

Did most people here even play this game?--I don't think so. Reading through the user reviews a week ago, I almost decided not to buy this game as a result of all the bitter hate PC gamers were spewing; but I should have known better. I'm glad I went with my gut and bought this, because it was absolutely epic. I know people are peeved about the changes made to multiplayer--and perhaps rightly so. I'm not sure what IW was thinking (it does come off as traitorous), and I can't say I agree with the changes they've made, but that does not change the fact that this game is amazing. The campaign grips you and doesn't let go, moving through at lightning speed from beginning to end. A lot of people are commenting on and complaining about length--but when's the last time there was a campaign mode this jam-packed for 6 hours, without any filler? Are we looking for quality or quantity? If you're looking for quanity you can have it; I'll take quality and stick with MW2. It's only 6 hours long, but it's 6 hours of intense, meaningful gameplay--not to mention spec ops mode. Yes, there's lots of stuff blowing up, and perhaps some of the smarts have been sacrificed for spectacle--but that's not always a bad thing. The Hans Zimmer score is electrifying and there are more mind blowing twists and turns in this than you'd ever expect--most of them completely unpredictable. The sound is also improved upon, and the graphics were even better than I was expecting. This game is beautiful--don't let anyone tell you any different. As for multiplayer, I've only played a few games, but it's enough to have formulated an opinion. The action does seem a little bit slower, but much more balanced, and thus in a way more fun. My connection is super crappy, but even I have been able to get 3 bars in games where all the other players seemed to have 4. Maybe if you're from another part of the world (I'm from Canada, 2 hours NE of Toronto) you might have problems, but I havn't experienced any so far. The other aspects from MW1 multiplayer that we know and love have been amped up, built up, improved upon, and even replayability appears to have been extended. It's like MW1 multiplayer x 3, if you're able to get past the negativity surrounding the dedicated server issue. If you would rather focus on the negative (no dedicated servers, lean, mod support) instead of the positive (absolutely everything else) then don't buy this game. Otherwise, this is the shooter you've been waiting for. If you're on the edge like I was, think hard about it, consider the bitter "DOA" reviews by many of the upset fans here, and make an informed decision. I'm not saying the game is perfect (I would have given it a 9.5 given the option) but the reviews here are simply not legitimate. Might IW have screwed up partially on the multiplayer? Perhaps, but t's still great and they've crafted a near masterpiece of a game. I have to end by saying that if you are a shooter fan, this really should unquestionably be a part of your collection--you won't regret it.

    Unbelievably great storyline, graphics and possibilities in the SP. Just a few minor glitches I noticed (I didn't notice most of them when I played the game for the first time). I also love the fact that you can notice the difference between the easiest and hardest level (Recruit -> Veteran). Beyond question in the top5 games I've played. Despite the minor bugs it deserves a 10/10.

I'm willing to bet that most people are not even aware of that, Treyarch gives Infinity Ward a bad name. Infinity Wards games; "MW1" "MW2" "MW3" are far better than any of Treyarch's "Black ops series" hands down. I have been playing CoD since the very first release several years ago back in the WW2 era of CoD. Most people didn't even start playing until the first CoD 4 Modern Warfare came out, the overall feel of MW2 is great, the physics are great, graphics sound are great. I feel that the multiplayer is very well balanced online, if it ran like then maybe your pc isn't up to spec?..if you bash the game saying its unfair or unbalanced maybe you should switch up your tactics a bit instead of raging around looking for that kill?..I have never had any issues playing this online..I always had a blast. I'm clearly reviewing this from a quality aspect..how well the game play is designed, how well the game is structured.

    This review covers the single player PC experience. This was the best Call of Duty I've played so far. I have yet to try Black Ops. Let me just say that the gameplay, physics, graphics, and atmosphere were amazing. Being a Desert Storm veteran I can honestly say that the game captured the desert warfare very well.

    The Spec Ops mode is OK. It is a great idea but it simply does not function well on PC at all. You can expect to achieve a portion of what you would on other platforms. The idea is amazing but needs to be modified a lot to work on PC. The multiplayer is cool and possibly an improvement on the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer. It has great new perks and weapons and is enjoyable despite being tricky to control on PC.    … Expand

    I had Modern Warfare 2 on the 360 back in the day and after putting that back in the box and craving some decent Call of Duty; I had to turn to MW2 on Steam.

I have played several matches so far and have yet to see a hacker. The community is small but still bigger than Ghosts and the lobbies are thriving with players enjoying themselves on this game still. It's great to see.

    For all its problems, MW2 is still one of the most enjoyable and memorable multiplayer games ever created. If you love nostalgia and are fed up of what COD has become in recent outings; this game is an absolute must. I am still weary about hackers but old exploits and issues with the game are seriously outweighed by the general fun and slick performance.

    Ghosts and the new/fake IW created an absolute pitiful excuse of a COD game but MW2 still stands strides ahead in every department. I regret not buying this sooner and wasting so many hours on the latest dreadful installment. The old IW left behind a glorious legacy that simply has to be experienced once again. One of my best purchases in a long time.    … Expand

It can be confusing at times but keeps the game interesting. The multiplayer is even more amazing! Building your own class and upgrading your weapon of choice keeps you playing. The multiplayer really pulled me in and I got into it like I did CSS or HL2DM. Anyway the game is a beast and I don't understand why it was given 0's! Maybe it's because I play it on Xbox not PC. I'm not sure how that would affect the game though. I would definately reccomend this game.… Expand

The death knell sounded long ago for FPS MP gameplay on the PC due to the rampant and uncontrollable use of cheats. Get with the times.… Expand

I will give most people this..the non dedicated servers do hurt and there is a lot of hackers... I just leave game and join another takes 30 seconds. Other than that i think this is an awsome game!

    Almost 10! it just sucks that there are no dedicated servers! I hate it, no chance to make any "friends" ore play on the server of your own clan and all that stuff!

    Ironicaly the retail version costs only 40 euros while buying it over the steam store will cost you 60 euros. Ouch for the steam. But the game itself is incredibly fun to play, was it the spec ops, multiplayer or the singleplayer. It deserves a 9 because of some disbalancements (Recently fized Javelin Glitch, Care package knifing glitch and so on)in multiplayer.

    I bought the game and really don't get what everyone is bitching about. The multiplayer plays great for me, and I don't think you need more than 9v9 players anyway. They should have dedicated servers, but it's not THAT big of a deal. A great game all in all.

    PC gaming is dead, long live PC gaming. I don't miss the dedicated servers at all, the game is lag free for me, I find others to play with within seconds, the maps are not over crowded (thank god, was a big issue in COD4), I can play with my friends using steam and I haven't even talked about the gameplay. This is top notch wether you like Singleplayer, co-op or multiplayer... PC gaming is dead, long live PC gaming.

    Hello all, I saw everyone's rate and so I thought, I will rate to. I pre-ordered the game some months ago for the Playstation 3 (yes, a console!) and since I have it, I love it (like I expected). The game is very very good, good story, multiplayer is good, awesome COOP with friends and I geuss alot of features I don't know yet. But you guys will say "It's a console game".

No, you got it for PC to (hehe). But why they made dedicated servers for PC version? Because they don't like cheaters and people that play an illigal version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online. (Cracked versions>>>). I give it a nine, 1 point minus because of the problems with the PC-version, and the to bloody scene on the airfield where you play terrorist. If you ask it to me, it was not necassary to put such a mission in this game. (My opinion). Good luck, and buy this game, worth your money!… Expand

    The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 is identical to the console versions in almost every way, and that's actually the problem. PC gamers have a certain expectation for online shooters. Removing dedicated server and user mod support from a game that's already $10 more than its predecessor seriously hinders the long term appeal for me.

    It looks better, it plays better, the story is more intense and the multiplayer is more inviting. And with the inclusion of SpecOps, the longevity of this game is sure to have increased as well.
