    For the price of $60 at the time of writing, this game is a spat in the face at PC gamers as far as price goes. It's been roughly 5 months, and still no price reduction in sight.

Living in a rural area or living with a poor connection makes gamers, even console gamers, regret their connections.

The only reason it happens is the artificial "game over" screen if you shoot the terrorists. You then apparently have to follow a shell to Brazil for no reason, then rescue your old captain. The multiplayer? Don't get me started. Due to no dedicated servers (NO ADMINS), hackers run wild and nobody can do anything but leave the server. But because of the ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE matchmaking system, you'll probably get them in your group anyway! The best parts of the game are where you are trying to be stealthy, or those breaching missions, but those are spread over a very long and boring campaign. Was Infinity Ward trying to dissapoint fans? My explanation is that they created this game - IF it can be truly called a game - for the people who would buy it, play it, hate it, and not be able to return it. Isn't this how the Roman empire fell? The power players who used to have a sense of honor got greedy and started thinking only for themselves!

Nice additions to Modern Warfare (1) and a realistic Tactic gaming -> IF you get a connection with 6 Players in one group. The perks and supportunits are quite realistic. Dont forget it´s still just a game. But whats the problem? -> As mentioned it´s the "no-dedicated server mode". People are free to use every weapon and do what they want, even if it destroys other player´s fun. This is what I firstly mentioned above. IW & Valve. Steam is ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY for playing online. If you play Counter Strike... well.. Hello Steam! But Modern Warfare could have been a real global clangaming-adventure but there is no Punkbuster. And even the"mighty" VAC (Valve Anti Cheat) program is useless to most of the hackers. My vote is so low not because of the game itself. It is a good one! But Modern Warfare 1 was the one and only game! And I think after so many years IW has to change their behaviour to the customer´s needs! I think more than 90% of all MW 2 players want and cry for a dedicated server mode. One Patch could be the answer to millions of sad and angry gamers. IW - DO SOMETHING! Valve - What is valve?

    Buy it cheap, or when the price drops. I do not care about multiplayer, it is all about the actual game. The singleplayer here is fun, has some great moments, but not much replay value. This game has some scene that could cause vets to have flashbacks, but for the rest of us, it is a mediocre game. Fun, awesome at times, quickly forgettable. Buy it cheap since it is INCREDIBLY SHORT.

    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. Expect to be blown out of the water by a 45 year old nakid fat computer programmer with nothing better to do but show how steam security and this game just all out fail.

Not to mention the noob tubes, which is why IW needs to either add custom matchs with certain rules like no "Noob tubes (Granade launcher)" or just have the balls to admit thier mistake and give us dedicated servers, it can be done, and very easy there are already a few user made dedicated servers out there so it mustnt be that hard specially if its the company that owns the game. seriously... just seems like a lazy move from a company. but if your looking for a Muck around multiplayer game, and happen to be lucky enough to live near the bulk of players and playing in "peak" play times then it can be quite fun for a hour or so, but if your a hardcore multiplayer person stick with MW 1 as MW 2 offers nothing for clans or people who want to play fair matches and for long periods of time without interuption.… Expand

    Great SP campaign, but even then its worse than COD4. Multiplayer is a disaster, with laggy servers, low player counts, mostly bad maps and altered gameplay compared to the original. Still it is a fun experience but not at the 59.99 rip off for a non console game.

    This game has some much potential, but with the amount of lag, getting booted while in games and while waiting to get into a game, it really loses it. Plus with all the hacking and nothing being down about it, it makes this the most frustrating game I've ever played. Well done Infinity Ward for losing a large customer base.

    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.

    Gameplay is great. IWNet is buggy and I would prefer dedicated servers but the good thing about it is that I really like ranking up and there are no modded 10k XP/kill servers where you rank up in 3 maps.

    Good game. Single player campaign is too short, even comparing with Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Special Ops give a bit of fun due to raising difficulty. Multiplayer is good, very realistic, with few glitches only. However, steam as a platform for multiplayer sucks big time. Just going through a painful update, that seems to go forever. I wonder if the game will start after that.

    Well this was a disappointment, this game had so much potential but is ruined by an utter disregard of realism and some of the core gameplay mechanics that have drawn me to the Call of Duty series since 2 came out.

Lets start with realism. While the original MW wasn't the most realistic multi-player game, weapons of similar types did similar damage and the way the guns handled at least resembled their real life counter parts. In MW2, IW essentially spits in realism's face, weapon damage is hideously flawed and poorly balanced. PLASTIC riot shields can stop sniper bullets, and akimbo is just terrible. Running around like a retard with a Desert Eagle in each hand essentially allows you to dominate everything in your path, lazy Halo 2 style reload animations are also a bit annoyance. Another problem has got to be that terrible overlay that covers your screen when you get shot, it causes terrible tunnel vision and IMO looks plain ugly, the old CoD2/4 style overlay worked fine and didn't guarantee a death the moment you were hit. Also, blood spattering over your eyes is a illogical when getting hit in any body part other than the face. Also, plastic AKs and uber tacticool weapons felt gimmicky and unrealistic. Everything felt over the top and over done. Before in the CoD series you were always a grunt, fighting on the front lines or a member of an actual Special Ops group (SAS). MW2 turns you into the ultimate special ops soldier where instead of fighting in historical or realistic fights, you are I don't know, on top of a Burger Joint in DC fighting Russians, at least the setting in MW1 was realistic, happening in plausible areas for conflict. Multiplayer is just plain terrible. Over done perks and weapon attachments make dying/killing even easier, Camping is worse than ever, hackers roam free thanks to IWNet. Xbox style matchmaking feels lazy and frankly stupid. I liked being able to sort through a generous list of servers to find one with the map/game mode that I want with a decent ping. And then what happens when IW drops support for MW2, will multiplayer just stop working? Being a Counter-Strike Source player, I understand the importance of community created content and maps in the longevity of a title, but it seems as if IW wants us to play this game and throw it out so hopefully we will buy the next piece of shit they turn out next year. Also, Valve's Steam system isn't the reason for the loss of dedicated servers. Steam is a distribution/publishing tool. After all, Valve understands the importance of dedicated servers IE. Team Fortress 2 (Which is amazingly entertaining), Counter-Strike, even Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 use dedicated servers (and those 2 titles generally have 4-8 people playing at a time).

    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.
