MW2 hate or love?

i was just wondering why there are so many mw2 haters. any people getting MW2 that think the same as me? or any people that dont like MW2 with a passion want to explain to me this hate towards an imo an incredible looking game? also im prettty sure a large number of these haters will pick it up when they see everyone playing it. and then they'll love it.

Epic Game. Getting this the first day it come out. But there are plenty of people who hate it too, with most complaints being it's overrated ect ect...

i don't mind all the "hate"... it's not like it's going to affect my enjoyment of playing the game :)

EDIT (had an extra "the" by mistake :P)

Indifference. I couldn't care less about MW2 at the moment, I will play this game and finish it sometime later without paying a single penny, Im borrowing a friend's copy :wink:, same with assasin' creed, there are other games that interest me more at the time.

I don't hate it, I just don't care about it and I think it's being overhyped.

I was addicted to the first one to the point where I played it at least an hour a day. Over time it grew tiresome, and I realized I was just doing the same thing over and over because no one online ever seemed to be doing anything different either. My play patterns only differed as much as that of my opponents', and if my opponent insists on tubing a grenade to the other side of the map (HC S&D), then all I can do is sneak down the middle... like I always did.

It became rare to find a challenge, and that thrill of sneaking around started to get weaker and weaker to where I stopped playing altogether.

My problem with MW2 is that, aside from the plot, it's much of the same thing. I'm going to love it, I'm going to play it for 6-7 months straight, then I'm going to realize how I'm just going around the map in the same pattern I usually do. Now, of course it's going to get somewhat repetitive, because all games get stale at some point, but I've already been through that with a Call of Duty game so I'm not really too interested in doing it again.

I've spent so much time with FPS games this gen that I need to take a break from them. If I'm going to play a repetitive game, it should be something I barely play.. like RPGs.

...unfortunately, my friend's convinced me to buy the game anyway, so I'll be getting it sometime in the future so we can play.

Love or hate?

I'll tell you when I get it, mate.

lol, Yeah, basically.

I still don't feel like I care about the game.. I'm just getting it to play with other people.

Don't care for the more I hear about the less I want to play it. SP might be interesting and ok if not incredibly short but the MP just seems so blurgh to me. Just simplified and unbalanced like the first.

Thanks but no thanks.

I am MW2 ambivalent. I don't like it or hate it because I don't care about it.

I thought modern warfare was fun but I enjoyed world at war so much more. Who knows maybe this game will be great. I didnt enjoy mw single player so i hope mw2s is better.

don't really care about it. I doubt I'll get it

lol, Yeah, basically.

I still don't feel like I care about the game.. I'm just getting it to play with other people.

Both hate and love for me. I hate Activision and this game is VERY overrated compared to other FPS games. But I need an FPS fix. This will be my last Call of Duty game.

MAG and BFBC2 will be beast next year.

No need to analyze your feelings toward MW2; just see it for what it is: a game that's meant to be enjoyed.

And if you'll end up enjoy it after all, then it won't a waste of time. So stop it with all this negativity (especially since you're getting the game anyway); buy it with a smile :)

i will love this game hopefully i get it this week

lol, Well I'm not necessarily frowning. I'm buying it knowing that I'll like it, but if somehow the store I went to didn't have any copies, I wouldn't exactly be bummed out. I guess I should try and enjoy it more, though, it's just hard to do that when you know what's going to eventually happen a year or so down the road.

well in response to scianix-black...6-7 months of play time is a heck of a long time for a game. i respect everyone's opinion here because they are sensible. i really didnt think the multiplayerwas unbalanced though. because the good players will always be good. and the bad players will suck unless they get better. Mag does look a bit fun...but idk i have a feeling it will turn out to be a a fps version of socom confrontation...and bad company 1 was pretty fun but online was a different story. lagfest. i will stick with mw2 and then see about mag or bfbc2.espadaking13

Therein lies the problem. It's a stalemate. I don't mean to brag, but I was one of the good players, and when you're one of the good players, it's only a matter of time before you get bored of what you're doing, and that's exactly what happened with me and CoD4.

When you're bad, there's always room for improvement, but eventually you'll hit a dead end.

I guess we'll all be new once MW2 hits, but like I said, I'll get better and better, then I'll get bored.

How can I hate something I haven't tried? :|azzezino

cant be bothered with it right now, ill get it later... like 2010 later.

Just don't care for BS scams they call a different game when in fact it's just another COD4. World At War was just a "mod" and COD4's online was a complete joke. I fell for COD4. I won't be fooled again.

lol, obviously i didn't mean that in a literal sense.

I just don't think you need to concentrate on the inevitable drop in interest (which plagues most games no matter how great they are) and enjoy it in the moment. And if your forecast of 6-7 month holds any water, it's going to be one big@$$ moment :P

hey, i lived through the cod4 addiction too... and i ran that well so dry, the villagers were forced to migrate to a neighboring town. So obviously, concerns similar to yours crept into my mind.

But when i recalled the good times i had while playing cod4, i always concluded that "just give me some fresh maps, weapons and perks, and I'm ready to dive back in."

Now to acknowledge the flip side, like in most competitive MP-oriented games, a lot of your enjoyment is based on the participating community. So naturally we're going to see all kinds of spammers and routine players that we grew tired of in CoD4 (you know, the ones that come up with a few "strategies" and sweet spots for every map, that after a while you'll be able to exploit with your eyes closed) Needless to say, that kills the thrill a bit as you'll be able to guess where everyone is and where they're coming from with considerable accuracy.

With that said, MW2 will still be fresh in the early going; and before those detrimental tendencies really solidify themselves, all of the perks, weapons and modes will keep you coming for more. Not to mention the fact that most of the annoying perks were removed (and these new death streaks pale in comparison to the cheapness level of the jugg, mart, and 3X frags perks :) ); Furthermore, klass customization is now deeper and the point accumulation system for ranking up has been completely revamped (where you'll also be awarded points for actions other that killing and/or assisting)... Now that doesn't sound bad at all...

Since playing my first online modern warfare match on myps3 (played some w/ friends and i know little behind on wi fi and all) i have been addicted. My ps3 broke so i'm probably buying a slim to get a quick fix for the release of mw2. But i do understand the people that have played mw so much that they don't wanna bother with this one. As for me i can't wait.

well it cant be as overrated as uncharted 2

That's a thing I don't understand. Why do people come in with those kind of expectations, like it's gonna be a great game forever? It's a freaking game, everyone gets bored of it at some point, its like people have an epiphany for some games and think they'll never get boring... Even the new ones that we think are 'fresh'. Video games are like everything else in the entertainment industry, temporary distraction and different strokes for different folks. That's all. Hell, even games like Bayonetta is gonna get super repetitive after a while.supa_badman

Exactly. That's why when it comes to Call of Duty, I'd rather not go down that road because I've been there before and in buying MW2, I'll just be travelling down that same road after the town around it has been renovated. But because all my friends on PSN are getting it, so am I, for the sake of having something to play with other people.

Yeah, it will get boring; that's inevitable, I just feel pessimistic and indifferent when it comes to MW2.

I know Bayonetta's going to be the same way. I'm going to play the **** out of that game, and sooner (but most likely later) I'll start to want more - something different.For some reason, I can better focus on the "brand new game" effect with Bayonetta, but I can't do it with Modern Warfare 2.

I guess it's because CoD to me was more of an addiction than something I like.

For example, people smoke cigarettes. People also love puppies. Puppy lovers who smoke will buy a puppy, take pictures with it, and hang them up around the house, but not cigarettes. Same with me and CoD4. I've played CoD4 more than any game in my entire life, but I would first decorate my desktop with Mirror's Edge or WipEout pictures before I put up something CoD related.

CoD isn't really fun to me.. it's more of a fix than anything, and I think it's the same for most (not all) people, the only difference is some of them can't distinguish between fun and fix.

...I swear to God, Activision puts nicotine in their games.

hate single player not very fun or tactical can't sneak up on people which is lme to me, BUT that multiplayer i can't get enough of that why in my opinion most people bought the games thats why i did and it was well worth it.

Its going to be amazing!! Who cares about those people who won't buy it, there loss ;)

If only i had enough for a day 1 release..

I dislike Call of Duty as a franchise
