MW2's online is overrated... the campaign is underappreciated!

Am I the only person who thinks that MW2's online multiplayer is a step down from Modern Warfare? A few things I like... like being able to guide a missle air strike... but the helicopters are ridiculous. The game seems much more "noob friendly" as some would say. Everyone is playing it constantly, and I fire it up to plays with the fellas here and there... I just think it's a bit overrated.

As for the campaign, seems like so many people almost skip the campaign entirely just to play it online. I think the campaign is the best thing about the game! I know it's pretty short, but the pacing and action packed moments are awesome. The ending is amazing.

Do you agree?

The online could have been DLC to COD4:MW1 if they wanted it to be.

Oh well, I got my Platinum in it.

EDIT : Yes, the story was shorter than MW1...but Spec Ops I guess makes up for it.

Yeah, you can do it, just practice makes perfect.

I thought the campaign was great. The ending was awesome, I didn't expect it at all. But I think the spec ops mode is the best part.

Spec ops is really the only thing I like about the game. Single player was ok, and I agree the competitive is overrated.

It felt like the single player campaign was a bunch of huge setpieces put together badly by a really substandard story framework. It seemed like all they did was say "Wouldn't it be cool if we did this?" and designed the levels around that, then made a story that very badly tied the pieces together. By the time I got to the end of the game I was happy it was over. And don't get me started with the ending.

Yea, I enjoyed the campaign much more than multiplayer. x.x

Do you know what are not facts

Opinions.

I wish the campaign was longer like in the first 3 CoD games.

Campaign is awesome but mp is too fast imo. I prefer slower paced games like Bad Company

i loved the campaign and have no interest in multiplayer *sigh for the slow death of single player*Richymisiak

same

the campaign was decent, dont rate the story in this or mw1, or the way its delivered or the huge gaps of info i felt were missing but i enjoyed this campaign much more than the previous. as been said before it did seem like a load of set pieces pasted together but i didnt really expect anything else

The campaign was better than I had anticipated especially knowing the complete story and how awful it is. And the set piece moments were great but the only wow moments were the US levels. With "of their own accord" being the peak.

Not to mention the numerous homages to The Rock which by the white house level was getting old. Not to mention how incredibly short it is. I'm pretty damn good at FPS but being able to beat the game on Veteran in under 7 hrs. on my first playthrough is a pretty short game. And only another hour to finish up some trophy hunting.

Spec-Ops is easily MW2's saving grace and strongest point, My buddy and I have a blast trying to get 69 stars. But those damn juggernauts.

I found the campaign to be utter crap (a bit of an exageration, but still). It kept the same solid gameplay mechanics from all the cod games, but came up with the most rediculous random jumbled together story and set pieces. By the end of the game i had no idea what just happened. Multiplayer was a bit of a refresh update for cod4, which was addicting but wore off much quicker than cod4

The online is overrated. I enjoy it, its fun when you want some fast paced-mindless shooting. Its not nearly as good as others make it out to be. I still play socom confrontation over it. The singleplayer was enjoyable while it lasted, i didnt even listen to the story after the russians invaded america, and just looked at it like it was, just one big mesh of set pieces. It was cool, i would play it maybe one more time, but thats about it.

jesus. i found it harder than mw1, i struggled with some parts on hardened, thats some going

The campaign's story is far too nonsensical, and stupid to be enjoyable.

i disliked the story of 2 but loved 1

The campaign was terrible for this little mission called "No Russian". A mission where you go around the airport killing innocent people? I thought Infinity Ward was a tasteful developer, but I think it's time for reevaluate my opinion...princeofshapeir

The entire game is basically an expansion pack that took IW 2 years to make. So glad that i rented it before buying.

I bought MW2'S game just for the multiplayer but now its getting old very fast it just doesn't do it anymore for me dunno but i mite trade it in for Uncharted 2 or Demon Soul's

I completely agree, I wont lie, some of the the levels in the SP in MW2 were probably the most fun ive had all year. way too short though and quite devoid of any challenge.

I found MW2 online to be overrated. IW took what little skill it took to play MW1 and made it into a noob fest. Single player was good but the story was so ludicrous it took whatever enjoyment I would have found.

From what I'm told it's a game basically designed around multiplayer with the campaign tossed in more as an after thought. I'm told the campaign is barely 3 hours long so to me the game isn't even worth 5 dollars.

the campaign was not just kinda "thrown" in there. The campaign was really really good, voice overs were excellent.

UT3 = thrown in campaign.

The campaign was legendary. But I was pissed when they killed of Roach and Ghost. But It was crazy playing as ramirez (or however you spell it)

In my opinion Spec ops is the only thing done right.

You wouldn't be disturbed if you don't play it.

So basically "I find it offensive there for no one should be allowed to play it"? That's a very dangerous road to travel.

Honestly I think the online is A step up and the single player is a step down except for the U.S missions

the singleplayer was dumb fun but the multiplayer just makes me want to boot up BF2.

I got Modern Warfare 2 for the Single Player < true story.
