    The campaign is awful. Gameplay is repetitive and only really fun with the snowmobile mission. Plot doesn't really make sense and the characters are hollow and cliché. As for multiplayer Halo 3 and Counter Strike are much better.

    Slightly above average gameplay. The campaign does not have interesting stealth or puzzles or any diversions from the "shooting gallery" gameplay. The set-pieces/scenes are extremely predictable (just think "American action film" and you've seen it all before). It does EXACTLY what you could expect, but nothing more.

Back in the old days of Medal Of Honor 1, my friends and I were so awestruck because nothing like it had never been. It was wildly pioneering in that way. This time around, you've seen 3d shooters before. You've seen the exact same gameplay. I think the game would have to have a more interesting campaign in order to stand out among other games. When it comes to multiplayer, this functionality can entertain you for hours. But I urge you to ask: What do you take from the experience? To me, it's like watching mindless television. It's fun, if you switch off most of what makes you human, but you don't really leave the game wiser about anything.… Expand

The story gives you a great cinematic experience that you would normally find off of watching a movie, for example when you run across rooftops with a bunch of terrorists shooting at you and at the last second you jump off to barely make it to a helicopter I think that is pretty cool. The game play is very well done too because of the many perks you can use to own the competition. Game play feels solid and everything is responsive the announcer is awesome when he tells you take over an area or if you are winning in many of the cool game modes. The multi-player servers are nice since they don't have to much lag that often and people say otherwise have not switched off from dial-up. The spec ops well definitely keep you busy as will all the other levels that are in the game. Overall everything seems great, not perfect, but just great.… Expand

    The single-player matters!
    You cannot release a game with a full single-player mode and then say: "It's all about the multi-player". Some people actually don't care about MP so you cannot be a unbiased reviewer and only talk about one part of the game.

    You cannot release a game with a full single-player mode and then say: "It's all about the multi-player". Some people actually don't care about MP so you cannot be a unbiased reviewer and only talk about one part of the game.
    So let's begin with the single-player. It is a complete mess. The AI is beyond stupid, they will just run at you until gunned down. They won't use strategy, they won't use cover, they won't flank or even do much to kill you at all. The sound design makes the guns un-satisfying to use as they lack any real impact.
    The story is your usual "America good. Middle-East terrorist.". It's getting tiresome running around desert-filled streets shooting anything that isn't white. The story is presented in such a bad way that you have to piece together the whole thing by yourself. It took me more than one playthrough to even understand what was going on. Characters don't act realistically so you will never understand their motivations. It seems they came up with a half a dozen set-pieces and just built the story around them.
    In the first Modern Warfare it was shocking when your character died in a nuclear explosion so naturally, they thought that they would try to recreate that in this game. You are killed (as part of the story) about 4 times. I really hope that I misunderstood this because it's not surprising when you do it every 10 minutes.
    And speaking of minutes, there aren't that many in the story. The main campaign might take you 4 or 5 hours. This is unacceptable and absolutely pathetic.
    Alright, multi-player. It's broken. The weapons are so imbalanced that less than a dozen guns are actually used by players and if you try to use anything else you will be mauled to the ground like a baby by a dozen rabid pit-bulls. Rewarding kills with even more ridiculous ways to kill people is just plain stupid. If you are not extremely skilled at this game you will be killed repeatedly by the same guy and when you think you can kill him, he comes back in a chopper. And then he drops a nuke on you. The maps are awfully designed and don't encourage anything other than the run and gun technique. They are way too small and cramped and the amount of players on each server is laughable.
    You also don't have any dedicated servers, you can't kick/ban, you cannot choose maps and so on. The FOV is freaking ridiculous as well and it gives me eye-strain just looking at it for half an hour.
    This game is a mess and Activision must have been sucking off a lot of critics out there to recieve an 86 on Metacritic.    … Expand

    There are small positive sides, but a large negative side on the PC version.
    The single player part is fun, but really short.
    Multiplayer is not working properly and you will be unable to find a game.

    My suggestion is that you skip this completely and buy MW3 instead, or buy the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. These have a working multiplayer with a large fanbase.

    Sometimes it`s very funny but the bad and aggressive making moments are so much more...

    Horrible game. Maybe once good, but has too many issues and most of them were there when it came out.
    First we have the short campaign, where in normal you can take 5 soldiers firing at you with smgs for 45 seconds. Why use cover, you regen before you even get behind it anyway. Dumb AI, just blocks doors and hardly does anything not scripted. (under cover 90% of every fight).

    A great game on release, it provided hours and hours of more addictive Call of Duty fun after its predecessor. However, the more you play the worse the game gets. By the release of Black Ops the Call of Duty series was tired and lacking in originality. Nowadays Modern Warfare 2 suffers from repeatedly failed releases and is now an utterly pointless past time.

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.

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

    Never played the campaign (Not a big fan on killing arabs in the desert), but the multiplayer is alot of fun and addicting. For an FPS, this is a great game. For all of the people hating it, tell me if you know a better multiplayer FPS please.

    The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 is a little, disappointing. And I'm going to say why It is? It costs more, and It haves less multiplayer features than other PC shooters, exactly like GameSpot said. Still, this game stays fresh with the superb campaign and spec ops. 79 out of 100

    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.
