Modern Warfare Steam sale - Hated BLOPS, is MW better?

Ok, so I have a decision to make. I've been wanting to get MW1 for years (and maybe MW2 since people like the multiplayer), but after the horrors of Black Ops I don't know if I do anymore. That free Blops weekend was almost nightmarish - I hated everything about the game (except the kill cam and stats, those were really cool).

Is the MW series like Blops? If it is, I'm passing. I have BFBC2 to satisfy my online urges and a great number of excellent single-player shooters for offline.

MW1 is brilliant, MW2 is terrible.

So are people still playing online on MW1, and is it less mindless/laggy and have better gunplay than Blops?

Both games have a very different feel than Black Ops, and better gunplay in my mind. Also they run much smoother. MW1 still has quite a large community. I liked MW2 more, but it has two major downfalls - peer-to-peer connection system instead of dedicated servers, and a poorly implemented system of VAC to try and catch cheaters. Hacking is rampant and so are laggy servers, but I think MW2 is the better game of the two when you join a hacker-free lobby with some decent connections.

My friends and I played hundreds of hours of MW2, and Blops was an extreme disappointment for us all.

I guess I'll wait on any more replies and get MW1 tomorrow then. I don't want to spend cash on both, and MW1's campaign looks really good too.

Thanks for the help. :)

Honestly, MW1 should have been 15$ already. But yes, MW1 is excellent, and future CODs have failed to live up to it imo.

if you hated BLOPS then I doubt you will like the other titles. They're all very similar in the end, especially the actual gunplay.bonafidetk

They are all fairly similar games. If you liked MW1 then you'll probably like MW2 unless you are on an activision vendetta or you take offense to P2P servers. If you HATE blops well the games are not worlds apart.

This. MW1 supports mods and dedicated servers. MW2 is a joke.

MW1 is by far still my favourite CoD game among MW1, MW2 and BlOps

Steam is overpriced, I bought my CoD4 2 weeks ago for $8.

it should be £3 by now.... :| :twisted:

There are other better multiplayer shooters anyway - like TF2 or BC2. You could get MW1 but if it isnt as alive as it could or has been - whats the point? Its a good SP but ya...Gamesterpheonix

I own and play both of those. I just like to have some variety in what I play.

I could get MW1 for $10 off Amazon or whatever, but it's worth the extra 5 for the Steam support and such IMO. Physical copies are a pain these days since the protection means I can't just burn .mds files and play off those >_>. I miss disk check.

Again, thanks everyone for the help.

15$ for a 4 year old game with (probably) dead multi? Yeah, suure.murekkep

BF3 > BC2 > COD4 > MW2+Blops. Hahahaha :P [spoiler] I kid.. [/spoiler]

OP I highly recommend COD4, it's a really wonderful game with a thriving multiplayer community and a pretty good singleplayer campaign. :)

BF3 > BC2 > COD4 > MW2+Blops. Hahahaha :PElann2008

Yeah, BC2 is pretty ace.
