    Very good game. Looks like they have no need for patches in this MW. And for some people it is not possible to find a "lagless game" 'cause you probally have a rubbish PC.

    Besides the campers and the short, confusing campaign, this game is amazing. The graphics are awesome, the game play is incredible, and everything. My girlfriend actually thought it was an HD movie! Amazing game. They need to fix some bugs (like when you can't connect to the host when you're trying to find a game, you don't have to click find a game again). Great game, though.

    First off, it seems to me that all the PC gamers are just pissed off about the lack of dedi servers. Well, I don't view it as much of a problem. The multiplayer is fun, the new guns are cool, and I especially liked the changes they made in the loadout choices, like having to choose between frags, semtex, claymores, C4, and other equipment.

The multiplayer is fun, the new guns are cool, and I especially liked the changes they made in the loadout choices, like having to choose between frags, semtex, claymores, C4, and other equipment. I also like that grips and grenade launchers no longer take up a perk slot. However, there are some annoyances, like lag (which is a rather large problem for me) and hackers. Hackers aren't actually a huge problem, but they're more noticeable, and a lot more annoying. I haven't yet beaten the singleplayer campaign yet, so I can't comment much on it. But so far, it seems to (like the original Modern Warfare) be entertaining, with many twists, epic moments, GREAT scenery and scripted events (Washington D.C. anyone?), and good characters. A few problems still remain, though; the ally AI can be fairly horrible, and some of the characters just aren't believable. Also, I'm still not happy with IW's standard to make it so your character never speaks, ever. To sum it all up: a good game, despite its flaws. It truly is more than the sum of its parts.… Expand

    Compared to COD4, I think the single player campaign is somewhat longer and it was made to look like a movie. The multilayer, other than the annoying problem with overpowered knife users and shotgunners and the addition of akimbo, an attachment too much overused by some, is well crafted and keeps you playing from dawn to dusk.

    This game is really good! It is better than the old MW but I think it was extremely short. Overall it was well worth it and Hans Zimmer's music touched it up nicely! I've not really tried the online feature yet so I hope it's good too!

    The SinglePlayer Storyline of this game was great, the Atmosphere was great, a little bit short, ok. The Multiplayer and when you say something I won't believe you, is the best I ever had, only the matchmaking system and the hackers suck. All in all a game to enjoy months with playing, when you love Multiplayersessions.

I could care less for dedicated servers right now as long as they delievered an intuitive and fast game style where your never doing nothing for a long time. The bad stuff is you can't bend around corners, no dedicated servers, at times bad lag, and a game picking style similar to consol games like Halo 2. Conclusion: Great singleplayer if your looking for quality over quantity, mediocer multiplayer if you enjoy playing with friends for kicks and giggles but definitely not a clan game. I gave it a 9 because singleplayer for me comes first since multiplayer is pretty vanilla for the FPS genre. Don't like MW2 multiplayer? Then go get something else.… Expand

The new perks, Kill streaks in particular and the new weapons. The only problem was the Sniper rifle selection. There just wasn't enough. The Akimbos were great. The problems were that it wasn't dedicated. Also the hardcore time respawn was a bit disappointing for me but that made up as people were easier to kill. The very last problem were the hackers. Although i rarely ran into them (usually during Ground War) they were still a bit of a pain.

However, personally, I can't jump on that bandwagon and feel it is my duty to give the game merit regardless of the absolutely no respect gesture from IW. I am conflicted doing this, as I feel I need to give the game a 0/10 to simply get through the message that we pc gamer's can't be treated like shit, because if we accept this, we are accepting future games that show us no respect. And while i understand all this, and have personally signed the petition saying how this is an incredibly bad move. I also must give credit to the actual game design. Games are often valued on memorable gaming moments, and the short singleplayer this game has - is full of them. It's also a very good looking game. With everything maxed out. The problem with a game like this, is that it's not doing so well for the people, like myself, that want innovation in the genre. Ramping up the incredible set pieces makes it entertaining, but war games are overdone. Way way, overdone. If this game came out a few years ago, when it was all fresh, I would have given it a 10. But the fact is, I have seen this type of game far too many times. Far too many. But working against me need for originality, is a stellar package. Online co-op, online competitive, and a strong memorable singleplayer. A package that is polished in every area. I'm actually tempted to give this an 8, not because it deserves an 8. But because it's doing nothing at all for original products, and the more people that purchase this, could have purchased something incredible and fresh. But, in pure entertainment terms. This game does in fact... do very well. So against my own hate for what this game represents, and my need to boycott this game for a number of reasons. I reluctantly give it a 9. If IW make another stellar game, and treat pc gamers like shit AGAIN. However. Expect me to never purchase another great game of theirs again.… Expand

To all those who are still on the fence about this game and trying to make up their mind, rest assured that these user comments you are reading here are just the "vocal minority" that follows every major game release (the satisfied millions of users are probably too busy playing the game to come and comment here). I think the vast majority of them simply cannot see beyond the "They changed it so now it sucks" whining and therefore don't hesitate to rate this fine game with 0s and 1s. As for the game itself, the single player is a blast (although a rather short one, yes) if you like Hollywood-esque action. The campaign is packed with it and has some truly breath taking moments of pure adrenaline. The co-op Spec Ops mode is a very good addition and provides hours and hours of additional fun before you hit the online multiplayer. Now, the multiplayer. I seriously think that those who experience game-breaking lag should blame their Internet service providers before MW2. Out of dozens of matches I have so far played I have encountered noticable lag only a couple of times, and although I must admit that I have a 100mbps fiber-optic Internet connection at my home my friends playing on a regular DSL fared no worse. The matchmaking system can use a little tweaking for level-balancing and such (which is pretty easy to do and will surely come with future patches) but otherwise is very quick and efficient in finding matches. In CoD 4 (where I played to Prestige 3) I have never ever deviated from servers running anything but the original, official game ruleset so as far as all the fuss about the lack of dedicated server and player-modding support is concerned, I really fail to see the meaning of it. Someone mentioned something about better anti-cheat protection because dedicated hosts can ban people from their servers, but I will take the new system where cheaters will get banned from ALL servers simultaneously over the old one any time, thank you very much. So overall, a great game even if you are just going to blast through the campaign and then burn several days with a buddy playing Spec Ops. But if you are also into online multiplayer, getting MW2 is a no-brainer. Have fun!… Expand

This is probably because I've always had to deal with 100-150 ping, seeing as I have a really crappy internet connection. And i thought I'd be unhappy with small matches, seeing as I always gravitated to the big ones in Mod1, but it's actually extremely fun, mainly because the maps are small enough to fit the number of players, there's less random death from explosives/snipers (though people still do abuse the grenade launcher, which pushes my buttons), and you can actually hold a grudge and get some satisfaction out of backstabbing the guy who just blew your head off, making MP in Mod2 more satisfying, for me, than the legions of random players I had to contend with in Mod1. But again, this just might be me. The lack of dedicated servers is annoying, and VAC is not nearly as good at policing non-Valve games, but hackers actually, in a certain perverse sense, make the game more fun, because, as I said, it's much more satisfying to kill a hacker when there's only eight players total. Further, seeing as I have crappy ping, I don't really like the matchmaking, because I always liked to find the lowest ping game available, and the matchmaking has some weird protocol that excludes me from those matches because I have high ping. Also, the claim that matchmaking will put you with people close to your own rank is mostly for naught, so don't get your hopes up. But, all in all, this game is actually excellent, with the exception of a few minor gripes.

The campaign still does a good job with shocking the player, and genuinely keeping him on his toes, and the increased variety in enemies and locations, while superficial, is nice.

    Although this game hasn't got servers where the host can add different mods and so on, i still think this is worthy of a high score. There are more missions than cod4 yet they're shorter so it balances out, with the missions being shorter and the cod4 engine being use optimumly, the graphics and gameplay are incedable. Very well done IW.

In addition, this game offers a co-op challenge mode where you and a friend can complete different challege levels, about 25 in all, packed with variety and fun. The online multiplayer shooter contains modes such as capture the flag, bomb planting, death match, free for all, ground war, with TONS of new weapons and extras to unlock.

Ironically there is almost a 10 point difference in the metascore from the Xbox version and the PC version of this game. It's probably one of the first times Ive seen this on metacritic. For one it's time that PC players take the golden spoon out of their mouths and realize that PCs are slowly being relegated and consoles are becoming the premier medium for most games. Lack of dedicated servers is an issue really only for players who want to play competitively in clans, and since this probably includes less than 10% of the overall player base I can't really see why that alone should make the game a whole 10 points lower than it's Xbox counterpart. If you liked MW1 you will enjoy MW2. Yes there aren't any new profound changes to MW2, and thats mainly because it's a sequel. It amazes me how Halo 1-3 got so much hype and such great reviews when really all that changed was like dual wield and the maps. No one complained then, and no one should be complaining now about MW2.

The gun selection is great, and I RARELY see any hackers. Not only that, it's the fact that also many of the complaints so far on Metacrtic have been about no dedicated servers. With so many people who have actually bought this it's suprising even for the fact that there are people who DON'T just simply create a server. The graphics are a tier up from the original Modern Warfare, as well as the story plot following prior 5 years after the events of the first one as well. It's really where the fact that a lot of the new additions kind of hurt the game, such as some of the new kill streak perks as well as some of the minor lag caused by games. In some ways it's actually better where now only 18 people are accepted on servers. Imagine the lag fest caused by 30 people on each team just shoot left and right. To whom all those that said that the game steps away from realism, that's esentially the point of a video game. Modern Warfare 2 goes back the original roots of video gaming, not any of this one hit one kill bull. In conclusion, great game, so it gets a great review with a few small flaws.… Expand

    Frankly the game's multiplayer was pretty crappy, but to be honest I think most of the bad scores came from Battlefield fanboys who troll all over anything faintly Call of Duty related.

    It's hard to place, but there's something about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which makes it great.

However, the missions are suitably action packed and put you in a wide enough variety of locations to be really quite enjoyable.

    Special Ops: Basically just random missions in locations (mostly) from the campaign, Special Ops are, in my opinion, just as enjoyable as multiplayer. You can play them alone or with a friend (which I recommend if possible, not only does it add to the fun but some Ops are excessively difficult when by yourself) and gain stars upon completion which unlock more Ops. The diversity of the objectives and locations makes Special Ops a fantastic game mode.

    Multiplayer: PC players in general seem to be really quite upset at the IWNet system, which removes dedicated servers. Whilst this is an odd and undeniably poor decision, the people who are complaining about it seem to be deliberately forcing themselves not to have fun nonetheless, which is quite an achievement considering just how fun it is. Again, the diversity of the maps is great, but the customization options available are what makes Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode absolutely fantastic.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a very enjoyable game to play. The campaign is very fun and immersive. The storyline is easy to follow and not at all broken. The voice-acting and character personalities are also superb. The only problem with the gameplay of the campaign is it can get quite tedious, because you basically just shoot bad guys. The Spec-Ops missions are really cool. Spec-Ops missions are separated into five different categories, each category getting more difficult as you progress. These missions are based on maps from the campaign. They're pretty fun to play and they each have their own game style. Some are stealth missions, meaning you have to get through heaps of enemies silently. Others are survival, where you have to kill and just stay alive. Or you can race! There is also an option to do the missions with a friend.

    The multiplayer is the reason a lot of people are giving it negative ratings. I honestly don't have a problem with it, and I'm not that great at it. I think the weapons for the most part are balanced. There are weapon mixtures (such as the G18 Akimbo) where they are very overpowered. But it's very fun and very enjoyable. The multiplayer has a load of different gamemodes, the most played are Team Deathmatch, Free-for-all, Domination, Ground War, and Search & Destroy. There are many weapons to unlock along with attachments for said weapons. There are also perks (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3) to use to give your character a special boost. Now, of course there are cons. Among those are there is no dedicated servers. That makes many games laggy and unreliable. It's also easy to hack certain games, meaning your stats can get all screwed up.

    The bottom line is this is a great game, contrary to popular belief. Awesome graphics, awesome game play. If you're skeptical, you could wait until it's on sale so you don't possibly waste your money.    … Expand

    I see a lot of negative user ratings and gasp. I understand why they exist, but people have to have a level of understanding.

The campaign took me about 2 hours to complete, and it's exactly the same gameplay as any other Call of Duty Game (You know, you're in a spot and eliminate the enemies, move on, breach a few doors, infiltrate some secret location for intel, etc.). The Spec Ops levels were almost addicting as the player strives for high scores so that they can unlock more levels... At times, both the campaign and spec ops can be extremely frustrating, but once you beat it, it's rather satisfying. The visuals throughout the game are impressive and greatly customizable so that they run on low-end PCs and laptops... But then, there's the multiplayer. This is why people are critical of the game on PC. It's highly addicting and very simple. Many skilled gamers find this worthless and a waste of time, but most gamers like the fact that you can get fast, non-stop action without the use of too much skill. However, as in many PC multiplayer games, there are hackers. This is where many negative reviews come in. The hackers are not the fault of the game itself. It's the people who hack that make the game worse. The game itself deserves a high metascore for being an excellent addition to the series. The hackers deserve the lowest metascore possible. If you wish to enjoy the game without worrying about hackers, get yourself a MW2 Config program (search Google) and backup your stats! And, in reality, only about 1 person in 10 lobbies hacks, so that's 9 good games in a row, then all you have to do is quit the lobby and join another one, and you're set!

    Overall, this is a great game with intriguing (but Short) Single Player and fun Spec Ops levels along with addictive multiplayer that make any gamer want to strive to achieve the highest level while completing challenges and acquiring prestige. The graphics are good enough so that there is realism to the game but still customizable enough so that the low-end pcs can run this game without a problem. If you are careful, you can have a lot of fun with this game. BACK UP YOUR MULTIPLAYER STATS and you WILL have fun.    … Expand

It also remains the biggest step forward for the series in terms of innovation since call of duty 4. The campaign is entertaining but is hindered by weak characters and the bland mission briefing cutscenes, that were so impressive in its predecessors, just fail to capture any of the emotion or awe that an invasion of the US should invoke in the player. It also has an unsatisfying ending in terms of one of the key villains, but I won't give anything away. Spec ops. is a blast, the highlight for me was playing alongside a friend in the sniper stealth missions ; things can get pretty hairy and teamwork is essential, ensuring that there is plenty of banter and carrying on. But multiplayer online takes the cake and to this day remains my second favourite online multiplayer. My only complaint is that assault rifles tend to rule the day, but thankfully the UMP submachine gun finds a place alongside them. Single Player: 7/10 Spec Ops: 8.5/10 Multiplayer: 9.5/10… Expand

Eventually, ICall of Duty Modern Warfare 2. A little while back, I reviewed this game's prequel (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), which I hated at first, but then loved the next time I played it. It was an insanely fun action game that must be experienced, in particular for its single player. Its multiplayer was good too, but I couldn't help but feel like it was missing something. Eventually, I decided that I wanted to play its sequel, so I downloaded it off of Steam this weekend. So, does this game improve upon its predecessor enough to make me love it, or is Call of Duty 4 really the last good Call of Duty? Let's find out. The gameplay of this game is very similar to its predecessor. It is a first-person shooter that has both single player and multiplayer modes of play. There is also a cooperative gameplay mode this time around, but most of the missions in it are the same as those of the single player, just with one extra player. In Call of Duty 4, I preferred the single player over the multiplayer. I went back to play missions from the single player in Call of Duty 4 more times than I can count. This time however, it is the exact opposite. Here, I prefer the multiplayer over the single player. The single player in this game is a continuation that picks up five years after the events of the previous game, and it is insanely fun to play through, like just about all of the early Call of Duty campaigns. However, there are two major problems that hold this game's campaign back. For one thing, the campaign is once again too short. I completed it in only five hours. Another problem with this game's campaign is that its story is terrible. It is so convoluted and hard to follow, that I am always confused as to what is happening. That did not stop me from loving the campaign from start to finish, but that was only because it was insanely fun to play through, and not because of the story. As for the multiplayer, I feel like this is where all of the effort in making this game an amazing game went into. The multiplayer of this game is actually better than the single player this time around. Not only is this game's multiplayer better than Call of Duty 4's in every way, it is one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played. It really is that good. After playing this game's multiplayer enough, I finally realized what Call of Duty 4 was missing in its multiplayer. There were not enough different kill streak rewards, perks, weapons, and other features. To tell you the truth, after playing this game's multiplayer, I honestly felt like Call of Duty 4's multiplayer was just a beta version of this. This game's multiplayer is much more fleshed out, and it also added Capture the Flag, the one mode that I felt was missing from Call of Duty 4. Overall, the single player of this game may not be as good as Call of Duty 4's, but the multiplayer more than makes up for this. This game is worth playing for its multiplayer alone. As for the graphics, this game also looks fantastic. They are not the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game, but they do look very good nonetheless. This game pushes its engine to the limits of its graphical potential. All of the environments and character models are rich with detail and very pretty to look at. Overall, this game's graphics are every bit as awesome as its gameplay. This game also has really good presentation. On a high-end gaming PC, this game could look fantastic. However, there are some troubles with the endlessly respawning enemies in single player. I have never really had a problem with these in the past, however, this time I can't help but feel like there are too many. I honestly have had a lot of trouble dealing with this many enemies coming at me at once, and I did not have this trouble in any of the previous Call of Duties. However, this is just a minor complaint compared to how good the single player really is. Overall, this game has excellent presentation. Overall, this is a fantastic game, especially for multiplayer. What most people are wondering is if this game is better than the original Modern Warfare. I would say yes for the multiplayer, but no for the single player. The single player of this game is still really enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as the previous game's. I recommend this game especially to those who love a good first person shooter, action game, or multiplayer game.

К сожалению продав 25 миллионов копий игры, Бобби Котик сошел с ума и    Что можно сказать о любимейшем МП в фпс шутере?

    После МВ1 любимый режим НиУ получил новый виток, потому что я считаю именно рандомный подбор не позволяет застояться на одном сервере с одними и теми же игроками,позволяя постоянно совершенствовать свой уровень. К сожалению продав 25 миллионов копий игры, Бобби Котик сошел с ума и уволив Зампеллу, обрек серию на стагнацию и потерю доверия.

    Но даже здесь немалая ложка дегтя присутствует, как известно коммьюнити в СoD не самое доброе, полное отсутствие выделенных серверов в паре с выбором античита ВАЛВ выглядел спорным и время это доказало. С не СУРС играми ВАЛВ античит беспомощен, на фоне доброй части игроков сие привело к читерской вакханалии, которая продолжается и по сей день. Не могу не добавить, что античит Триарч весьма крут и обеспечивает защиту.
    Так же можно отметить убранную карту Фавела, которую никто не стал исправлять, в угоду жалобе на религиозную надпись, а просто убрали. То есть поддержка у игры отсутствует, как класс. При конвейерном виде серии, это не удивительно.
    В целом сложно быть объективным.. Уж слишком я люблю МВ2!    … Expand

    Самая ожидаемая игра 2009 года, сиквел к самому популярному экшену от первого лица за всю историю игр, Modern Warfare 2 продолжает захватывающую историю предыдущих частей. На этот раз игроки столкнутся с новой угрозой: полным уничтожением этого мира.

    The best Call of Duty game out so far, if I could give it a 9.5/10, I would. It had some balancing issues, but other than that it was the perfect multiplayer fps back in the day.

    Enjoying single player very much. Multiplayer plays well, feels a little like Warzone, is somewhat along the lines of what I expected - very happy with it. Look forward to seeing it unfold/progress and develop further over the next year or two. Like the K/D on the scoreboard.

    One of the best multi-player experiences in my opinion. Sure, there were some drawbacks, but looking at the hour count it was one of the top games I have spent the most time in.

    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.
