its got a better sp than black ops, but if you're more into mp then you'd probably be better off playing blops instead

Ew, no. MW2 has a terrible SP, probably the worst in the franchise.

If you don't mind about it being a present, then yes, return it and get something else.

Undoubtely one of the worst FPSs out there. One of the most senseless and uninspired SP I've ever played, and the MP is a huge step back from MW1.

i'd say black ops and cod 3 are pretty much tied for the worst in the series. i liked mw2's campaign

I'll say it, and say it again. :P Most people play Call of Duty MW2 and Black Ops for the multiplayer... so if you're not a multiplayer kind of guy... then I would skip it altogether and grab yourself a good RPG game. Buying one of these games for the single-player campaign (only) is a bit silly. But then again, if you felt like returning this game for something else, then you probably don't really want it.

Yes, it was crazy as in all over the place. Though as uninspired and incoherent as the SP is, it's somewhat of a thrill. But it's nothing you haven't really seen before. I say keep it, as it is a gift and hey--what can you lose? You get to fire guns and play with ppl. online.

MW2's storyline, much like a Michael Bay movie, may be pretty out there as far as believability goes, but you won't say you weren't entertained.

MW2 is on STeram for $30 and I really can't justify someone spending $60 on me for a game tha came out like a year ago. I could get a couple of games for that price from that time or an actual new release. I was thiinkiing BLOPS had a larger multiplayer community.

The story is convoluted but you're right. It was kinda fun. My favorite level was the one with the riot shields. Took me by surprise.

Are you serious it had an awesome SP full of cinematic and memorable moments, you're opinion is void considering it was said to have the best SP out of all the COD series.

Yes, its terrible. Both the campaign and multiplayer, though the campaign is extra terrible. Even if your tastes are so poor that you enjoy the multiplayer gameplay, multiplayer is full of cheaters and bugs, still making it unenjoyable. There are plenty of games much more deserving of the money paid for that game, so return it.

MW2's single player was bad. Story line was confusing and the missions were boring. Black Ops SP is about 65 times better.

Return it and get Black Ops instead, it's a much better game multiplayer-wise. Also, if you act quickly, steam has Modern Warfare 2 at half-price for today only. So if you really want to play it for the single-player buy that and save yourself some coin. You need to authenticate MW2 with steam anyways, (I think) so there's no reason not to buy the game on steam.

Having my character fall over in an inevitable shower of bullets every ten paces, in dazzled incapacitation as some idiot runs over to me and drags me up for the millionth time isn't fun. It's scripted and so linear it could've been called Final Fantasy 13. Let me play the god damn game and stop showing me cinematics of my character sliding helplessly down a cliffside.

I know it's a gift but Modern Warfare 2 was when most fans had an epiphany: the series was going dangerously downhill. The single player was filled with plot holes and was the equivalent of watching a Michael Bay film, which is entertaining but not worth £30 and the multiplayer was riddled with imbalance issues and nuisances whose patching was endlessly refused.

Depends. If it's a single-player campaign you're worried about, just keep it.

For multiplayer though, definitely return it and get something else.

Certainly do not trade it in for Black Ops. Its not much better. Worse port than MW2. Only half decent thing they did was zombies ( if you can say thats decent) and dedicated servers which imo is over rated. MW2 is more fluent and works better.

Now that i think about it, if you want a new game, get Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Vietnam expansion. Fairly cheap on steam. And its miles better than the COD series

You didn't read one word of this thread did you?

I will stand by the statement I made. I read the entire thread and you sir are clueless if you don't understand the point I am making.

So you don't mind your mom paying $60 for a game that was released over a year ago?
