Are we kidding ourselves? Is Moder Warfare the best of gen....

I understand why to some its cool to hate the king, and lets face it, Modern Warfare has been the king of the mountain pretty much since launch. The story and huge cinematic gameplay, level design, multiplayer, graphics, the whole package screams outstanding on every level, heck even the sales are insanely through the roof (not that sales dictate greatness). That said, MW gets a lot of guff and complaints like any "insanely popular" game in our hobby would. Its the whole "sellout" mentality. Its not "underground" cool enough anymore, but be that as it may, pound for pound, in what encompases the entire package of a game in todays day and age, is Modern Warfare the best at this point?

So your saying that Uncharted has a better multiplayer than MW? do I have this right? Ive not played Uncharted yet and from what ive heard the single player is great, but im having a hard time believing that the MP will light up PSN for overall traffic and longevity like MW.

The single player had a few pretty cool single player levels. But to many were forgettable and hurt the experience and ended to quickly. The multiplayers good but the maps could have used more variety and some level just were sloppily constructed

MW1 wasnt even a good FPS at best it was a mediocre.

[QUOTE="mD-"] Uncharted 2 is at the top for now, MW2 could take that away though once we see how the multiplayer gameplay turns out in comparison to the MW1brennan7777

ok, and I wont argue seeings how again, I havent played it yet. My question is, do you think UC2 will still be traffic'd heavilly in 2 years? overall?

CoD4 campaign was horrible. Multiplayer was much stronger - but in my opinion it's far outclassed by Halo 3. I also think Halo 3 had the better campaign mechanics, although I'll agree CoD4 had an Hollywood action movie flare to it.

Not the best of gen, but sure will be a great game. CoD franchise (at least the one made by IW) is always great. Theres alot of hate on here for CoD MW2, but if ur a fan of the franchise you shouldnt let them stopping you from playing the game. I personally hyped for the game.

The sp was ok. The mp is the really the only shining beaconof COD4.

You could say that MW1 multiplayer and Uncharted 2 are about even. MW1 has the deeper perk system and it can be very fun, but UC2 feels more fresh now a days with the vertical gameplay (don't u just being able to run around a level and do so much awesome things like ledge grabs and and snapping necks?) and brings together the whole package in it's overall polish (graphics, explosive sound, level design, graphics). MW1 falls victim to being another FPS (a great one). UC2 just feels much more fresh now and it happens to be an excellent game that's more balanced.

Don't take my word for it, trust the critics, who gave Mario Galaxy and Bioshock more game of the year's than Modern Warfare. Those games were exclusives as well.

I don't like FPS' nor do I care about multiplayer.

So no...MW is not the bezt game evar to me.

Whoa whoa whoa. Do Halo, Gears, TF2 and Killzone 2 not exist all of a sudden???

No matter how much people love a game, praise it, play it, buy it, it scores high in reviews, developer improves it, there will always be haters.

Personally? I can't wait to throw a knife into someone online. :)

Im surprised at all the hate for modern warfare. I mean the game is oviously not something revolutionary or new, but it got one thing right. The fun aspect. no matter what you say, i really think the mp is a blast, no matter the technical level design, or whatever you bash it with. It's fun to play, over and over again. And isint that what made all the great games... great? Doing something fun over and over again. Look at starcraft as an example. No doubt a revolutionary game for the rts genre. Even though you can play the same game of starcraft as you did 11 years ago, it's still as fun as the first time you played.

The only thing interesting about Modern Rehash 2 is the single player (I enjoyed 4's A LOT) everything else is one big rehash with a new coat of paint and more dumb down gameplay.Wii_Gamer_277

Condsidering your username, isin't that what all nintendo games are? Zelda? Mario? And don't get me wrong, i have a wii myself and ive been playing ninty's games since the nes days. But thats what a sequel is, an upgrade on the original. Ever played a sports game? exactly the same. But it's fun nonetheless.

I loved MW, but MW2 looks like a crappy expansion. It has the same exact graphics, the gameplay looks like it will be exactly the same, they gimped the multiplayer to make it like the concoles, and they are charging $59.99 for it... count me out.

thank you... Im not crazy here. Yes the overall "story" wasn''t mass effect, but it drove the game and was of the highest production value. It wasn't citizen kane, but it was really good for a militery first person shooter.

actually aside from the lack of Ds the game looks significantly improved. i was even going to tolerate the $60 price tag. taking out DS was too much though.
