Avoid, Return to store, or just hang your head in shame if you buy this... vote with your wallets and buy a game that is WORTHY of your support not the one that gets the 'biggest advertising budget'. As for the professional reviews, well it's been obvious that gaming sites/mags have been taking backhanders for many years now, or are so linked to their sponsors/advertisers that they dare not speak evil of them (esp the massive titles that 'save' the industry each year with a giant cash influx from the brain washed masses).. games like NFS, COD, Madden etc. Please stop buying that crap and think about all our futures as gamers and how you can help change by using your brains and standing up for what you want and ignoring/not buying this kind of thing just because they have adverts everywhere saying 'the most anticipated game of the decade' - that shows such arrogance that I knew the moment I saw that this would be a re-hash of an already not that great COD4 original.… Expand

    Its Modern Warfare 1 with new perks and guns. Nothing new to offer the gaming world except a copy of its predecessor, with an old graphics engine, unblanced and small multiplayer, and a 3 hour single player. Save your money, not worth it.

    This game deserves nothing. if it wasnt for all the hyper and over rated coverage id give it a one, the singleplayer is crap and lasts for 5 minutes, the mutliplayer is boring and you'll want to cheat just to get your $ worth. dont buy this game unless you enjoy disappointment, however.. bad company 2 BETA was more fun.. try you're luck there with a user rating of 9.

    I am sorely disseminated by this game. After all the fun and glory of Call of Duty 4 i was hoping that this would be as fun but to no avail. The plot could be spread on the already growing pile of anti-russia games. Multiplayer rewards players for crouching in the corner.

    As a PC player I was truly disappointed with this game. I made the mistake of pre-ordering it before reading about its massively stripped features. I'm now stuck with a game not worth anywhere near the price I paid for it, and one I have no interest in playing again once I play through the single player in after 4 hours. Great.

    An extreme dissapointment, where CoD4 brought great change and new features, This just improves it slightly. With the asking price so high, the 7 hour campaign is utterly insulting. Multiplayer is of course great, if you somehow figure out how to filter out the idoits.

Sufficed to say, many things are missing, things which many PC gamers including myself expect to be standard as part of any good game. Personally, the biggest problems with the new multiplayer system are the very low maximum number of players, 0 ping advantage for host, lag spikes, copycat perk (what's the point of leveling up?), and in general IW seems to take a lot of control / customisation away from us - which ultimately serves to worsen the experience. I sincerely hope there will be a patch to add dedicated servers, modding and lean. Lean is another great thing missing from this game. All in all, not worth the money it is selling for.… Expand

    The PC release of this game is flawed beyond all expectations. Not only do the people who bought it on Steam have to wait 2 extra days to play, us Europeans have been screwed even further by IW refusing dedicated server support. Ping to IWNET servers is horrible, and 9x9 on PCs is a joke. The 360 version is no better. Unstable, the story is cliche and having a Russian antagonist is just silly.

    I love the new features like mouse and keyboard control on a PC! So amazing! And it doesn't take long at all to adjust to shooting 5 feet from where your target is standing to be able to register a hit on them because of latency! I'm happy to spend more money than normal on a PC title for less features than in the previous version. Game of the year all years!

    I honestly see no reason to buy a game that gives such a kick in the balls to PC gamers. I can not see why they would remove so many elements that have become assumed features of a PC game. It is a shame that so much work has been put into making such a great looking game with apparently great gameplay, but ruined in this way.

    They PC port plays like a console game. No adjustments to the FOV and no dedicated server makes this a game to pass on if you are a PC Gamer.

    This game is great. I have been playing for 2 and a half hours and I haven't found a flaw yet. They really took the flaws of CoD4 and worked mad hard on them. They also added a ton of new features and weapons. Now this is a flawless game (so far) I haven't played much of the campaign but it seemed pretty interesting from the beginning. Not recommended.

    Considering the hype for this game, the fact that Infinity Ward/Activision issued a patch to disable trophies means I can't play the single player. Add to that the friend invite system is broken and you can only play in random online matches means I was sold a bill of goods that doesn't live up to its claims.

I'm sick of reviewers treating this like it's the second coming. This game hardly improve from COD4. Sure, there are minor updates and it's polished, but that's about it. There are much better games people could be playing like Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, MGO, Resistence 2, Halo 3, Gears of War (PC), TF2 (PC), STALKER and much more, even COD4MW. Lack of support for PC gamers, and the lack of innovation for console gamers. Many games like killzone 2 use dedicated servers and a PC like layout, which makes it better for console gamers. We don't need the industry standard to be polishing games once a year and adding a 1 or 2 features while you take away the more important ones. Take Ratchet and Clank future: ACIT It got a quiet a few bad ratings and it's adds MUCH MUCH MUCH more with out taking anything the whole game revolves around.... away. The single play campaign was decent, storywise but it was short and you still put up with the same grenade spamming crap from the original hard difficulties. All though and though, if people didn't treat this the like it's the holy grail of video games, and if activision/infinity ward didn't treat gamers/ homosexuals/ it's staff/PC gamers and more like crap.. and if they added something to the game and fixed the difficulty problems, I probably would have rated this a 7 or an 8.… Expand

Ranking is tedious, and gets boring very fast, cant take 2 steps in this game without unlocking something or be rewarded for doing something, its like it was made for the people who get bored no unlocking something for 30 seconds. The MP is also a glitchfest, they release a patch, but more glitches and hacks are found within a day. Matchmaking and server connection issues are the worst of any game, seriously theres not this many problems with EA servers. As said, maps not only cater to campers, but seemed like they just tried cramming as much crap as possible into one and saying "Good enough". All balance is thrown right out the window with this game. Overall, there are better games out there, and there are better games coming out. MW 2 is just a waste of $60 Only saving grace is the Spec Ops, which also get boring after a while… Expand

    A let down for most gamers, I would rate the multiplayer (1/10) the worst part of the game the lag was unbearable and the weapons were unfair, i rated 3 out of 10 is because the story was only part that was half decent. the overall game is overrated, in my opinion the first modern warfare completely dominated the new one.

    It's a really good game. Single-player is really similar to Call of Duty 4's. That's not a bad thing but I wish they could have made it a little better. The online multiplayer is extremely enjoyable. There's so many unlockables and the maps are fun to play.

If you want to unload clips of ammo into one person to kill them (sometimes you don't kill them anyways) and get spotted on radar by gods all seeing drone then fine. You may thing " I will just play hardcore where it doesn't take as many shots to kill someone." Well then you would be on the right track. Hardcore is almost bearable. ALMOST! The camping is only matched by the spawn killing. You would need to camp the entire match to get a kill death ratio higher than 1.0. So if you liked the story of the first game then this is a define rent. But if you want to play multiplayer, get ready for camping, auto or dual wielding shotguns, god like supports, and unloading on people to kill them that so many people seem to love. P.S. even though its called Modern Warfare 2, the tech in this game is not anything like the real counterparts.… Expand

Also, the twist is completely nonsensical and dumb. Did I mention the campaign takes 4 hours to complete? Special Ops has nothing special about it, it's just recycled levels from the campaign with boring mission objectives. Does not come close to matching the co-op of Gears of War or Halo.

    Multiplayer has many glitches and balance issues. Most guns have extremely low recoil, allowing you to snipe across the map without a sniper. On top of the overpowered kill streak rewards to encourage camping, this makes MW2 the easiest multiplayer game to play online. There is a lot of auto aim, so the kills practically come to you. If you're really bad at FPS games and don't mind being frustrated by all the game's problems, you might like this game. Lastly, Infinity Ward has horrible customer support. I could list over 20 problems with multiplayer easily, and the sad thing is not one of those will get fixed. CoD is a horrible franchise now. Activision is milking the most they can out of MW2, and have released 2 overpriced map packs so far. Each map pack is $15 for 3 new maps, which is beyond ridiculous, even for Activision.

    In conclusion, MW2 is a terrible game that should have never happened. Do not trust the review sites, they are terrible at video games and only published their first impressions. There are very few redeeming factors to MW2. One of the worst games I've ever played.    … Expand

I won't spout them here, read online about the dozen or so glitches in the multiplayer. When the game isn't glitchy, it's unbalanced. The multiplayer behaves more like a first person Ninja Gaiden then a "tactical" shooter. You can literally set up a ninja class. It would seem fun, but it's not. Isn't this game supposed to be realistic? Controls are good, but classes are way to unbalanced. Shotguns as a secondary were a bad idea. As for the plot, that sucks too. It has as much action as Transformers 2, but with a worse story. Let me think, I'm in an elevator with the world's most dangerous man. His back is turned. I have a fully loaded LMG. There is no bigger current threat to world peace. "What should I do Mr. GeneralBackStabbyForNoReason?" "Kill 150 civilians" "Ok," says I. THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! What morons thought that up!?

The only part I really enjoyed was the airport level, it was funny (I didn't take it seriously since it was, you know, a video game). Even the ending was cliche and disappointing, not to mention all the plot holes pointed out by Games Radar. Next up came Spec-Ops mode. Some of the missions in this were kinda fun, others were boring, and some were just stupid (I'm talking about you, mission to kill 15 juggernauts with explosives only). The only reason I spent the time to complete it was for the achievements, and it almost wasn't worth it. Finally, the multiplayer: DISGUSTING. The perks are based on 3 play styles: Run and Knife, Quick scoping, and Camping. No matter what you say, quickly going into your scope and killing someone is NOT skill, learn to use legit aim and not let bullet magnetism/auto assist get your kills. One Man Army just led the way for super noob-tube (Grenade Launcher) campers, and commando+lightweight+marathon=Knifing which I find also to have no skill since you just sneak up on people and run to fast to get killed. Overall, I turned this game in when I finished it, and absolutely regret ever buying it. Overall, if you prominently use any of the above mentioned play styles, please get this and stay on this game. If not, get any Battlefield game, or wait for new shooters, as this was a TOTAL LETDOWN.… Expand

    While the campaign and spe ops modes were time passing and fun, the multiplayer, which is the primary use of Call of Duty, seemed mediocre and lack luster at best.

    Let me come out first and say how much I loved Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, It was the only game to break me from Halo 3, I loved the graphics, the game play, the weapon customization, and even the single player.

    Now let me tell you how much of a disappointment this game was, the campaign felt like Red Dawn on crack and when i finished it I really didn't feel satisfied, what did I just accomplish? What is this series going to do next? Do I even care? Nope.

    Now on to the bread and butter, I don't actually mind the singeplayer being bad, because after all I buy Call of Duty games to play online games with my friends and dookie on the opposing team. I was kind of psyched to find out that Juggernaut and martyrdom had been removed, the only two things I really hated with a fiery passion from Modern Warfare 1. I quickly found out that it had been replaced with something far sinister, Painkiller and deathstreaks inc. The game literally rewards you for being bad, it goes against every gaming sensibility out there. There is a very high chance in every match if you start getting a good kill lead on the other team that they will start spawning with 3x-4x their normal health. Great Idea, lets penalize the other team for being good.

    The weapon balance is horrific, every class can literally use a SPAS or a machine pistol, so snipers can just bust out a shotgun if they get rushed. Dual wielding should have NEVER been added to the COD series, and its as broken as hell, the 1887's had to be nerfed because people were getting dropped from 20-30 yards away by dual wield shotguns...Yes...dual wielded shotguns. Plus some of the assault rifles are just too easy to use like the ACR, I mean you literally can't miss a bullet, opposed to COD4, where you practically had to burst fire the M4 or AK for them to work effectively at range.

    The perk system is terrible, the rate at which you unlock great perks takes too long and not only that, they encourage a very low cowardly form of play, Marathon/Commando/Lightweight setups, Army of One noob tube setups. These setups are used by badkids galore and they even the playing field because theres literally no counter for them.

    The killstreak system is extremely broken. I realize that the airstrike in COD4 gave you kills towards your chopper, but it ended at that. That system in this game is absurdly broken, because you can literally rack up 30+ kills in a minute and a half, it's just way too damn easy for one person to get out of control. Predator missle->double kill->harrier bomb kills+gun kills+your kills->chopper gunner, I used this setup and many others used it as well because it was just effective and easy obtain.

    The above mentioned killstreaks breaking into my gameplay segment. EVERYONE and their mother camps on this game for their own killstreaks, don't even try playing a public objective game, people will refuse to leave 5 yards away from where they spawn, it literally breaks down the game into a stalemate of campy badness.

    In conclusion I think I've been pretty fair with my issues on this game, and the only reason I'm giving it a ONE, is because they came out with barebones mode which doesn't allow killstreaks, only then was I able to see, well at least without the killstreaks muddying up the gameplay, it plays as a very competetive shooter when people are actually trying to win and do the objectives on the map.    … Expand

On the flip side... you get the annoyingly hard Spec Ops and the worst multiplayer experience I have ever had on a console. Let's start on the Spec Ops. There's nothing terribly wrong with this, but it's annoyingly hard, even on the easier missions. Having two people doesn't help either. So, it's not a very solid game mode. And then the multiplayer... god DAMN this game. It's has now set the bar so low for any online multiplayer experience after this that I can now find a game that is actually worse than MAG's online. And believe me, that was tough to find. Every aspect of the multiplayer was done HORRIBLY. The weapons are overpowered without stopping power, The maps are complete JOKES of themselves, and to top it all off in the proverbial **** of Call of Duty multiplayers, they capitalized on quickscoping even more. I'll say this right now, if you enjoy quickscoping, more power to ya. But quickscoping and trickshotting can die in a FIRE. I don't want to jump on a Search and Destroy match to see scrubs doing 360 YY temper fade shots off the crane on Highrise and **** themselves when they hit a lucky shot. And, I feel the need to harp on this even though so many people have before... NOOBTUBES. Noobtubing deserves all the hate that it gets, plain and simple. So, all in all, this game is a gigantic slap in the face to anyone and everyone who liked Call of Duty. While the campaign is very well done, the Spec Ops is lackluster, and the multiplayer is a devil spawn sent from hell.

"Shoot, duck, wait for all the blood to disappear off your screen, shoot some more, blow up an objective in an elaborate manner" . If you've played one level, you've virtually played them all. I'm done here. The multiplayer is even worse. It consists solely of fighting the enemy team in an unorganized ramble of spawning right in the enemy's face, killstreak orgies that ultimately take the fun away from anyone who DIDN'T launch a nuclear missile that ends the whole game, and guns that are all so generic that they all instantly kill you at roughly the same pace: instantaneous . Although still obviously better then the object of comparison, the Call of Duty games are basically the video game equivalent of the Twilight Books. Nobody can figure out why it's so popular and critically acclaimed, but you'll be swept off your feet by an angry horde of screeching fans if you dare speak out against it.… Expand

    Complete trash! This game is a huge waste of money and time. Being a huge fan of the COD series since COD2, I can say that this is one of the worst multiplayer experiences I have had to date. The game is a huge letdown. It definitely does not live up to its huge hype and reputation. Anyone who rated this game above a 5 must have a lot of patience and be relatively new to the COD series.

The game is a huge letdown. It definitely does not live up to its huge hype and reputation. Anyone who rated this game above a 5 must have a lot of patience and be relatively new to the COD series. The single player is decent, but very short. It makes me laugh when people say, "Don't play it on easy and it won't be short!" I finished the game on veteran difficulty in 6 hours with ease and completed spec ops mode on veteran by myself (without the help of friends) in a very short amount of time. Multiplayer is a complete joke. The game is catered to the new and casual gamers for FPS games and requires no gaming skill what so ever. A retarded monkey could play and succeed online. The assult rifles are completely overpowered and unbalanced making every other gun in the game obsolete. The knife in the game is complete BS. You can teleport 20 feet and stab someone while being invincible during the lunge. Custom killstreaks ruin this game. 90% of the players camp to obtain killstreaks and do not play the game the way it was intended. Cheating and glitching is destroying this game. Infinity Ward will patch a glitch weeks after it was discovered, then 10 minutes after the patch, someone finds another way to do the same glitch and exploits it. Basically, they fix 1 problem and create another or more. Boosting for ranks/unlocks, glitched ranked lobbies, hacked classes (have 3 main guns instead of 1 and a secondary, 4 perks instead of 3, automatic weapons which shouldn't be automatic), game-ending nukes in care packages from hackers, thermal vision without the thermal scope, unlimited UAV's, aimbots (which have now come to the consoles), unlimited grenade launchers with ridiculous explosion damage, LAG, LAG, and more LAG, a 1200 MS point map pack, and a spawn system that is atrocious. The game has been out for almost 5 months and it is still plagued with these frustrating and irratating problems that are going to be the downfall of this game and could possibly destroy the series for many hardcore fans. Don't believe me, search on youtube for "MW2 terrible spawn system" or "MW2 online mods." If you would like to raise your blood pressure, curse uncontrollably at your tv, and make your blood boil, then Modern Garbagefare 2 is for you.

The Airport scene where you go through and kill innocent people is almost completely pointless. This could have easily been shown in a cut scene. And if you don't do it the game completely skips over the end of that area which is the ground work for why all hell breaks loose. Plus, this scene of the game is suppose to have a lot of shock value to it. Making you hate the terrorists even more for what they've done. And then at the end you're not rewarded with going after the bad guy, not you go after this general to get revenge, because your team got set up for starting this war between Russia and the US. So, the terrorists go free at the end. Lame. The campaign only took me a little over 5 hours to complete the first time through and just under 4.5 the second. Thats sad. What the heck. What happened to making campaigns a complete experience? I was so pissed off at the end, because there I was thinking sweet, now we're going after the real bad guys. Nope, just ends. Infinity Ward was completely lazy about the campaign. I'm glad they didn't win Game of the year. They don't deserve it for this one.

Single-player - Pathetically inept plot, full of holes. Russia invade the USA purely because they find one dead body of an undercover American agent responsible for a terrorist attack carried out by 5 men with Russian accents? Come on!! That makes Armageddon's plot look good! My REAL issue with single player is the challenge. Or lack of. Had I paid the £54.99 asking price, I would be absolutely insulted. I am not particularly good at FPS games, but finishing the game on Veteran on my first playthrough in 7 hours is simply unacceptable. The game is ridiculously easy, whereas World At War took me 3 months to earn those achievements and made me feel like I EARNED them. Day two, Spec-Ops. Hmmmmm. It was okay. I guess. Again, me and my friend who played them together online did them all on Veteran in one evening, and neither of us are all that good. The only tough one was the Echo mission in the Favela of Juggernauts, which did take us 8 or 9 attempts. Otherwise, it was a very poor comparison to the Zombie mode on World At War. Day 3 - multiplayer. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Rewarding you for dying? FAIL. Having multiple gunships / choppers in the sky at once which makes venturing outside impossible? FAIL. Customisable kill streak rewards where everyone tries to do the same thing? FAIL. Lack of party chat support in Team Deathmatch so you have to listen to children under the age of 12 abusing each other from the safety of their microphone? EPIC FAIL. Level design which encourages people to stay in one place? FAIL. Guns which have virtually no difference between them? FAIL. When you have a multiplayer model as succesful as Modern Warfare and World At War, is there really a need to try and overhaul it to an almost unrecognisable level? Personally, I think no. I find it baffling that no beta testing was conducted on the multiplayer - as surely so many of the glitches and issues could have been identified and rectified prior to release. Day four - traded in at GAME, got the purchase price in trade-in value and bought Uncharted on PS3. Infinity Ward and Activision have really damaged themselves with this effort, and I actually find it very refreshing to see that on my first visit to this website, there are a great many people who agree with my own view on this game. It's not the worst game in the world, by any means. But for all the hype, all the history and all the promise, it gets a 1 purely because it fails to deliver in the most spectacular fashion I think I have ever witnessed. Epic FAIL.… Expand

    Anyone who already has issues with the single-player ‘style’ of IW’s games will still find fault with the scripted, linear experience, but in terms of sheer drama and show-stopping set-pieces accompanied by laser sharp FPS controls, Modern Warfare 2 is your daddy. And that’s without Spec Ops and Multiplayer.
