Let's face it. SW is a giant anti MW2 rally it seems. I've played the 360 version and I thought it was a pretty solid shooter. So SW can you explain why you guys all dislike this game so much?

And please don't just say "it takes no skill" if it doesn't take skill please clarify why.

Seriously? Because I thought it was cool to like popular things.

To OP:

I didn't like it because I found it to be boring.

Because the perks and kill streaks make it horribly unbalanced at the lower ranks - you don't start to get the counter-perks until rank 15 or so, and I'm not going to waste time getting to that level in hopes that it suddenly becomes fun after that.

I don't hate the game, it's more of the community. You can't run around a corner without there being someone there waiting for you. The entire game is a camp fest.

It takes no time at all to get to rank 15. Could be done in under an hour.

That perk is not nearly as overrated as everyone says. You cant use Ninja While using it so you can hear them comming for you. It is easily avoidable.

Actually he was right. It is cool to hate on something that's popular. It makes people think they're being different. Thus the hate for popular franchises like Halo and GTA. Personally I dont like MW2 because I dont like FPS games. I wouldn't use the word hate. I just dont care about the game.

ninja is a baffling perk. sometimes I use it, some prick is sitting in a corner with a heartbeat, and on the killcam, I appear as a red dot on his screen. it doesn't make sense half the time.

I use Ninja just for the silent footsteps. Makes it so much easier to get around without getting killed and also makes it alot easier to hear enemies.

This is pretty much true. Granted, while there will be the occasionals who dislike it because they actually dislike it, I personally believe mosteveryone's hate for CoD is actually their hate for Activision transferred to Activision's main cash cow. If CoDs were released every other year as opposed to anually, I guarantee the majority would be in love with the series, and Halo would still be taking the heat. Regardless of whether or not the games are released yearly, they're still really great games. Hate the publisher, don't hate the game, because its not the devs who are making these business and map pack pricing decisions that have you so upset.

World at War was the most generic and uninspired game in the series. It felt more like a CoD4 mod than an actually sequel.

And it still manages to be 10x more fun than MW2. Baffling.

It's just a long list of things for me, really. I thought that the story was silly, disjointed and barely explained some key aspects of its plot twists. The green-screen world map and military jargon couldn't hide the fact that the way they told the story was just lazy. The muliplayer was fun and Spec Ops was a fun addition -- although it didn't hold my interest for too long. The numerous bugs and glitches kept the competitive stuff from being something incredible, too. Honestly, I thought the game did nothing very well but everything decently.

I played CoD4 from the beta until MW2 was released. MW2 is better.

It's solid. I think SW is filled with 90% a bunch of dorks who hate anything that's mainstream. While I'm more of fan of the twitch shooters like old CS and quake, MW2 is not a bad game.

I don't hate it. I think it's a good game. I'm just annoyed that 75% of the people on my friend list only play MW2. Why'd I even add my friends if they won't play anything else? I know that when I go to school in a few weeks I'll start talking about the storyline of Red Dead Redemption or something but nobody will know what I'm talking about because they only play MW2. Honestly, it doesn't deserve that much playtime, and people still buy the overpriced expansions. Jeez...

Played the campaign - didn't care for the story. Gameplay seemed more of less the same as CoD4. Didn't touch the multiplayer because I knew what to expect from CoD4.

And once I heard about the rampant glitching and Infinity Ward's general attitude concerning hacked games and infected consoles, the little bit of empathy I had for the game shriveled up and died. Funny enough, when I found out my little brother broke his disc and couldn't play MW2 at all, I was strangely pleased.

So you find MW2 better than Cod4?

The multiplayer is, COD4 had a better campaign.

  • Short (but great) campaign that I beat in 5 hours. The campaign has no replay value
  • The multiplayer is a mess. It has too many things that cause unbalance. Some of these include commando, one man army, danger-close, and noobtubes.
  • The maps are terrible.
  • The community is the worse I've ever played with.
  • Too many campers. Heartbeat monitors and the killstreak system only promote this.
  • You could easily get spawn trapped with an AC130/Chopper Gunner
  • There are no counters to some things. Like predator missiles.
  • They shell out overprice map packs they contain barely anything new. Also they charge $10 extra to the PC version although it has no mods or dedicated servers
  • The Assault Rifles are too good. They have no recoil whatsoever and put steady aim on the Tar-21 and tell me that it's not as good as any SMG close range.
  • Having shotguns and machine pistols as a secondary was a terrible idea. You think that you got enough fire power?
  • The campaign feels half finished. They leave you on a cliffhanger for a 5 hour game that took 2 years to make.

It takes no time at all to get to rank 15. Could be done in under an hour.

According to my stats, I finished SP on Hardened, played MP for an hour and a half, reached level 7, realized I wasn't actually enjoying the grinding, went back to Killzone 2, and resumed playing a game that's actually fun. When Black Ops comes out, I'll probably skip the online altogether.

Side note: I actually had to dig out the disc to check my stats. No stats site? What is this, 1998?

Edit: forgot which was the 3rd SP difficulty. Hardened, not Veteran.
