    The multiplayer just su**s. The LAG is horrific. There are way too many HACKERS. Weapons are not balanced (in my opinion). The killstreaks are too overpowered ( getting more than 20 kills with 1 reward is overpowered I think).

    By far and away the MOST overhyped game of ALL time. Bar none. Unbelievable. COD had very strong appeal to me in the 32 player (bot fillable) multiplayer. I'll go back and play that again before I retry this junk.

    Game fails to even achieve what the box claims it can do. Expect hackers to always whip your arse. Hosting, realtime play, and characters can all be hacked to the benefit of the hacker.

    I haven't bought the game, and so I haven't played the game. But I figure that that means my experience with it is the same as that of someone who preordered it on Steam, and since we're now beyond the launch date, that ought to make me qualified to review it, right? And I've gotta say, not being able to play a game I bought would totally suck!

Most people would say games don't need to innovative to be good as long as they're polished, but this game doesn't even have that. Critical features that made the first game a fun time with friends have been taken out, essentially taking out the spirit of the first game by losing the community feel with the abandonment of servers. Another point would be this game being sold as a multiplayer game with a tacked on shoddy single player. When the hell did this become acceptable? Not only are they charging a premium on a game which frankly doesn't even deserve half its RRP, you're paying that premium for what essentially is a MULTIPLAYER ONLY GAME. How is this acceptable? Most reviewers avoid this point, must be the shine in their eyes from their gift packets, just like the Halo 3 ones. Yet this game will still sell, and Activision will blame piracy on pc sales even though they're selling a subpar game. They will most likely start rehashing this yearly and make a mint of it, just like they're doing with the Guitar Hero series.… Expand

If you are into a good experience then this is not the game for you, if you want to see a completely implausible, downright insane, stupid plot that would make Micheal Bay blush, then go get it. Also the gun sounds in this game are awful. I'm not kidding, the guns sound like trashcans being beaten with sticks. Highlights of stupidity: the javelin anti-tank missle launcher can be used against people and helicopters, an automatic deployable minigun turret (it's like sci fi!), dual wielded weapons, shooting while riding a snowmobile. As for purely single-player complaints: the AI is as dumb as ever. They are heavily scripted, which means that all you have to do is cross a magical, invisible line to make them stop spawning. It feels more like a game of football. They tried to compensate for the retarded AI by making you fight a dozen of them every time and by making them Major League Baseball pros. They throw grenades with pin point accuracy. Like in all Call of Duty games. Conclusions: MW2 offers the following changes compared to MW1: laggy online play, heavily constricted field of vision, plastic guns, no graphical or gameplay upgrade whatsoever. Do not get it unless you like "purdy explosions."… Expand

Dedicated servers are a necessity to pc gaming as it is precisely what makes it different, multiplayer wise, from consoles. Without this, the game is pretty much a console port and if I wanted a console port, I would have bought a console game. Singleplayer is short and as awesome as the previous game but it still gets 0/10 from me because the multiplayer was what I was looking forward to, not the campaign missions.

    This is a major failure from top to bottom. This is a straight console port with little to no enhancement what so ever. The high setting doesn't look any different than the console versions! Matchmaking on IWnet screws over anyone outside of the USA and dooms them to lag hell. This does NOT live up to the standards of the PC platform.

    The PC version of the game is a poor port of it's console cousin. Everything besides graphics has been dumbed down from it's predecessors.

Obviously I didn't realise until after I'd purchased the (unfortunately non-refundable) game that the multiplayer aspect had been neutered and, honestly, it really breaks my heart. With pings above 100ms as standard it is like multiplayer gaming has gone back 10 years! Perhaps IW feel that new guns and more complicated perk systems can disguise the fact that the game now has a simply bad online experience. Ultimately it's all very trivial, unless they reintroduce the multiplayer functionality - a necessity to PC gamers not a privilege - then I won't be buying another of their games and will simply move onto the next company to produce a decent fps. I imagine alot of other people will too. The problem is that with gaming becoming more mainstream (and focused more on the consoles than the pc) IW can afford to shortchange PC customers as they know that console gamers are their main market now and will pick up the slack. Even with the furore I don't expect IW to reintroduce the dedicated servers. As someone already mentioned they are likely doing this as to slowly integrate console functionality to the pc - a two tiered system. First you pay to buy permission to play the game, then you pay monthly to play it. It's a sad indication of the way gaming is heading - it's now no longer a niche market supplied by eager, honest companies but big business akin to hollywood or the music industry.

    PC gamers have been totaly shafted, since when does the PC become second fiddle to the consols. 9v9 multiplayer is the first insult, the second insult is that there are no mods/private funded servers amongst other things. The last time i was this pissed off was when EA released SPORE/securerom.

I live in South Africa. So IW really don't care about there costumers. Ive always bought legal copies of PC games and hated people for buying the pirated games. In this case i dont blame them. i hope somebody finds a way to crack the system so we in "nowhere" countries can also play multiplayer .Why should suffer we play even more then the people living in the USA. The people in my country,including me ,like there competitive clan matches , with promod, now this is out the window ass well. Who ever thought of this idea is really stupid. And there is rumors that we will be paying for the patches coming in the future. How stupid is that. now they can make a game full of bugs from the beginning and we just have to pay more and more to get a product that's should be working from the beginning .… Expand

    The worst lag in Multiplayer that I have experienced in many, many years. The decision to get rid of Dedicated servers is the worst decision that Infinity Ward could have made during the creation process of this game.

    For a game whose main appeal is mp, IW sure put it in the back of the PC community without KY. The multiplayer is a joke. The matchmaking system is a joke.

    No custom maps, no dedicated servers, limited to 9v9, removing console, no immediate banning of hackers/cheaters. Also, 4 hour single player campaign? are you kidding me? I have been looking forward to this game since COD4. Having played every other COD game, I feel very disappointed by them for essentially dumbing down the PC version to a console.

    Hahah, look at all those game rating websites giving this game a high score. Oh please. No dedicated servers? No console commands? You have to be kidding me! Well Activision / Infinity Ward, you've lost my money. Guess where I'll be getting it from? And on what sort of servers I will be playing on? Yes, that's right.

"Our gamers are telling us there's lots of services and innovation they would like to see that they're not getting yet. From what we see so far, additional content, as well as all the services Blizzard is offering, is that there is demand from the core gamers to pay up for that," Uh, yes. Please make us pay more money for shorter games that don't allow dedicated servers or mods. Ridiculous.… Expand

    I did not buy this game, but I did play the entire single player campaign all the way through - very good single player, but very short!! The multiplayer blows! The lack of dedicated server support means that I have to play with 12 year-old, bunny-hopping, foul-mouthed smacktards! I will not even play the Multiplayer UNLESS there is a dedicated server patch released for the PC!

    So infinity ward decided to force the same experience on pc gamers that the 360 masses are limited to? Ridiculous. If I wanted to play console games i would own a 250 dollar console and not a 3000 dollar gaming pc.

    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.
