Not really sure, but not a ridiculous amount. I went back to it the other day, and couldn't actually bring myself to play it for more than 5 mins - horribly unbalanced, twitchfest. Games with fast reactions needed are fun, if they're actually balanced in some way - not spawning then getting killed by a bomb, then getting shot by a grenade launcher, then a predator missle. eurgh
Around 20-30 hours. I normally just went around griefing campers after the first 10 or so hours I played.. I got so fed up. Griefing campers was really fun though, even campers on my team I'd grief just for the hell of it.
It's a game based on cheap thrills. A game with no depth, that wasn't finished upon release (was clear they did no testing), a game not fit for competitive play, and a shooter with the most balance problems in the history of shooters. To me the game is the poster child for all that is wrong with gaming today.

The game is incredibly addictive it is just ruin by IW and Activision lack of willingness to fix the game,also by their greedy ways there is not a single reason why this game should not be on servers for online play,not servers for stats or match making,for playing as of now almost every single game i play pause to change host,some times more than 3 times in a single round,worst many of those games i dare say 7 out of 10 drop,which by the way adds a cool loss to your record. Yeah the game is so dumb that it can't tell when you are quitting and when the game it self drop,i dare say i have more than 400 losses do to game drops,but what really make me mad,is how they can so easily release 5 over priced maps,10 already as of now but can't fix the game,is like they don't even care the both the 360 and PS3 version are a lag fest of epic proportions,and now they have a new set of errors,like client over flow,and others as well. The game is one of the most complete games ever,is just ruin by Activision greed,and non willingness to fix it.

Oh yeah I forgot to list their abysmal net code. I remember getting into a match where everyone was from southern united states and a couple mexicans except for one guy, whose name was like somethingsomethingCHILE and he had the Chillean flag as his title. Guess who got host? The guy who was a couple thousand miles away from everyone else in the match!
MW2 has its flaws. Mediocre level design, weapon and perk balancing seems like it simply didn't happen and terrible matchmaking system. BUT what it does better then then everyone else is the feel of the controls. And I don't think many people think about this. What makes all the GOW and ninja gaiden clones s*ck? The controls simple aren't as good. Sure IW couldn't design a interesting mp level even if it was for their life and they ignore the detail work like pest. But they have the controls floating. It is so easy to pick up and you can feel the progression as you get better. Unlike others that are really hard to pick up, in such a manner that most people give up before they get to really enjoy it.
I only played the SP mode once which is about 4~6 hours long and that's it, I've never tried the MP mode, btw, I don't even own the game...just borrowed it from my friend for two days.
I spent 0 hours/ minutes playing MW2 multiplayer because no trophies are available. Besides i don't like the quick tight controls of MW series at all. i like the slower feel of KZ2 and BFBC2 plus those have multiplayer trophies/ achievements..

Unlike others that are really hard to pick up, in such a manner that most people give up before they get to really enjoy it. The problem with perks is simple,they are cheats,some people don't see them that way but they are,run faster do more damage,some are extremely exploitable like the one man army was,so why would any one use Sitrep,it allows you to see explosives and tactical insertions,the problem is that with marathon and light weight,you can just enter a room and not get kill,if you have a sub machine gun and a hand gun,just put your tactical knife,and by the time the claymore blow up,you are already inside the room and in a save distance from the blast,in almost every instance. And to see tactical insertions all you need to do is equip the tactical insertion as well,but what really bothers me is how you shoot people with a rifle,and if they have light weight and marathon,with the tactical knife or commando,they are able to get a close kill even when you had put on them already like 3 or 4 shots,is like been close turn you into been invulnerable to rifle bullets..
About 24-30 hours. Stopped playing multiplayer after I got tired of the same map rotations and frustrating nature of kill streaks being overpowered. I play it occasionally in split screen with friends but it really got on my nerves after awhile
I am a hater... They tried to go with a professional look with the online... and what do you get? people running around a map sprinting constantly and shooting you with 18th century shotguns and pistols.... Wow... great game!
[QUOTE="-Feath-"]It's extremely unbalanced and uncompetitive, with horrid map design that encourages you to be a douchebag. 2/10 Sorry ran out of medals... You'll have to have a "Nice one!" instead.
Love it and I hate it. Core gameplay, MP leveling up and Killstreak rewards I love, but DC, OMA, Commnando, OP guns, and general ease of play bother me.
I hate the game, I bought it since I supported COD since it was a new IP. I honestly only play it to show Modern Warfare newbies how to run and gun and keep a KDR of 1.5+. That and many friends play it.
I feel that most of the MW2 haters really blow the glitches out of porportions. They mostly got rid of the game breaking ones and the others aren't that bad. Commando isn't that bad either.(though I'm glad it gone from Blackops.) Killstreaks aren't that tough to take down.(You should always have an anti-air class.)
The only real problem I have is OMA/DC/Noobtubes and hackers.(Though I rarely seen any.)
Anyway I put in about 5 days and 5 hours into the game. So about 125 hours.
i've put like 15 days worth or something and I despise the game for the most part, since this game is what EVERYONE on my friend's list is always playing=/ i hvae a 2.23 K/D but still, I hate most aspects of the multiplayer in general
campaign was too epic for words though.
Dead-Memories
I refuse to ever call a 6 hour or less campaign epic, it's just too short.
Well, it's not that the game sucks, it's that it's too damn easy to exploit. They went too crazy with the perks, made some BAD choices with the knife and explosives. Black Ops looks to be 100 times better.

We know next to nothing about Black Ops, we can't say something like that. At this time in Modern Warfare 2's release cycle it was looking spectacular in most eyes.
I got all the achievements in 1 weekend, but I don't remember how much I put into the multiplayer. I got into the 20's, then sold the game. I had over 100 hours on CoD 4 though, so that's why I didn't care about MW2's multiplayer. It was almost the exact same thing, but not as good. The maps were pretty terrible, and the perks and kill streaks were too overbearing.
they went to noob friendly with the game with all the perks and killstreaks, and it just got boring for me (Cod4 sitll my favorite cod) But, the single player was pretty good.
