Why Modern Warfare 2 is the one of the best fps of all time.

There are plenty of things I dislike about the game, but in the end, the people who play it are really what keeps me from playing. If I play well, the people at the bottom call me a camping/lagging/cheating ****** and challenge me to 1 on 1 matches. If I play poorly, the people at the top ridicule me and I'm told I'm terrible at the game and I should probably end my own life.

The game isn't about winning to the general public, it's only about each players individual stats and how high of a kill streak/KD Ratio.Sure, I have this problem on other games, but the bad situations with people I've experienced in the Call of Duty series are unparalleled to any other.

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Agreed with the other ones(not the order) but get the **** out with that one. Resistance is a horrible FPS series. MW2 might be a bit over praised by criticis, but it's certainly better than the trash that is Resistance(in campaign and in multiplayer).

I woulnd't mind waiting an extra year for a better product. That way both SP and MP are evenly matched. Then again... I wouldn't want to wait 5 years for an evenly matched SP and MP. 5 years like Red Dead Redemption took.

MW2 is the worst though... seems like every game has that mic spamming kid.. at least on PS3.

Modern Warfare 2 is a casual FPS meant for quick or long bursts. its highly accessible and a lot of fun in its own way. the core gameplay is different from other games like CS or TF2. MW2 rewards individualism and leaves teamwork alone.

lol I'm sorry it's decent but there is no way you are ever going to see it on any top fps lists while games like halo 1, battlefield 2,and half-life 2 exist.

Play more games.

Um.... PC's mw2 was a disgrace to the Pc community. No way a game can be the "best fps of all time" when its crippled so much on one platform but not the other. Because the TC lumped Pc into this arguement then I find it VERY hard to believe to the be the "best fps of all time". I enjoyed mw2 on the 360 but when I played it on PC, it was just saddening what the developers were thinking.

The multiplayer game design isn't perfect. No game is. But MW2 does one thing right. For every perk there is a perk that counters, except Commando. Killstreaks, believe it or not, are very easy to take down. The Killstreaks UAV, Harrier, Chopper Gunner, Pavelow, and Attack Helicopter can all be taken down in a single Stinger shot (you have Overwatch cIass available from the start of the game). Killstreaks AC130 can be taken out with 3 Stinger missiles. Would you like to know how? Teamwork. For a game where gamers complain of 'no teamwork' - and the opportunity of 'teamwork' presents itself, then the Killstreak system is all of a sudden 'too powerful'. There's also the Cold Blooded perk that prevents Killstreaks from even seeing you.

"Why Modern Warfare 2 is the one of the best fps of all time; because I've never played any shooters prior or since buying this game".

[QUOTE="Vesica_Prime"]

I don't like it because of the unbalanced weaponry/perks or the fact that the online for the PC is worse than that of Doom.

Cool, blanket statement btw bro.

Modern warfare 2 is great... for my grandma.

Games unbalanced, takes no skill (first one to see the other is 95% the winner.), no teamwork taking place, gameplay that rewards camping and encourages it, I could keep going but you probably get the point.

deangallop

Oh. My. Gawd. Did someone actually say there is teamwork in Modern Warfare 2? Saaaaaaaaaaaaay whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???????????????

[QUOTE="2-10-08"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Responsive and tight controls? yes Good gunplay? uh hell no. Feedback is piss poor, recoil is all but non existant, and the audio for the guns is downright awful. Bad Company 2 AI being bad doesn't make MW2s anybetter. Atleast in Bad Company 2s case there is some satisfaction to the gunplay. It's all scripted to run forward and get shot at. They don't engage the player quite like the Covenant does in Halo or the Helghast does in Killzone 2. Forget being Fear territory of AI, it can't even handle the middle management games(in terms of AI). Killzone 2 would have better gunplay if the controls were tighter, and hell I'd rather take Halo Reachs gunplay than the one in Call of Duty at this point. jg4xchamp

i was facepalming IRL after just the first 2 lines.

I wouldn't call it the greatest FPS of all time but it still a decent game. The campaign was short and the story made no sense but I still had fun with it.

The mulitplayer is broken. However it's mindless fun. It's not a game I would play competitively but still...

I chuckled when you said this game has good graphics. For one it looks like crap on the consoles. After playing on my gaming pc maxed out on 1080p res, it still doesnt get the great graphics title. After going back to consoles from pc, it looked as if i was playing on a SDTV ( i was playing on an LG 1080p screen, around 52 inches). Only reason the game is so good is because of all the publicity it gets.

Modern Warfare 2 for 360/PS3/PC is great looking, easy to get into, well designed, and most of all fun.

The online is deeper than any other fps to date. Yet still this game gets more hate than any other game in SW. Why is this?

Because it's cool to hate. When everyone else in the world found out about Call of Duty, gamers got mad. Though in reality, the core gameplay was still there. The great production values? Still there. Sure the game was a little unbalanced, but there was so much stuff to unlock you didn't care. Modern Warfare 2 commentaries are dominating youtube right now. The reason is because the game is so popular. Which means people like it. And it turns out, we're people too. So if the majority of the world likes it, the majority of us should reasonably like it too.

The hermits cry "Cod 1 was awesome, from then on it went all downhill", yet every single video game critic disagrees.I would also like to hear any reason why you think the first/second game was better, because I've played them all, and I have to disagree.

In truth, a game can be objectively disliked based on graphics, controls, and features.The game has all of those. So why, SW, do so many of us here love to hate this game?

Obviously TC, I just love to hate games. I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I could comfortably say that a decent amount of people don't love to hate games. It's a silly idea. Why would you love to hate something?

I hate the game, because there's so many other FPSs out there, that are a hell of a lot better, but everyone out there doesn't give them a chance because it can never live up to this "perfect" image they've put into their minds. It's bullcuss because no one plays games like Battlefield, WW2 Online, ArmA, Operation Flashpoint, Half Life, Team Fortress, Counter Strike. The list goes on and on. I hate the game, because, in my opinion, it's ruined countless other games for a countless amount of people.

Another trend I've been noticing, is that since MW2, mod support in a lot of major releases has gone down. Although if MW2 is a direct cause or not can't really been proven, it's just an observation I've made.

The critic argument. Go on Metacritic. The critic score for those games are 8.6-9.4, whereas the user score ranges from 3.5-5.9. Of course, it obviously doesn't show everyone who bought the game, but it shows that a somewhat decent amount of people really dislike the game.

And finally, a game can be disliked for any bloody reason. If someone asks me why I dislike rap and hip hop, it's because I just don't like the way it sounds. You can't really explain it, you just dislike it. It's all a bloody opinion. And you saying that it has graphics, controls, and features is a cussing opinion, also.

Arguments like these are stupid, to put it bluntly. It all comes down to opinion and what use is it to argue opinion, where ninety percent of the time, you're not going1 to change someone else's opinion. To be honest, I wish we could just leave each others opinions alone, forget the fanboyism and just love each other. But, I guess human nature will prevent that from happening on a larger scale.

It's ok to love this game, and it's also ok to not like it at all. My friends can't get enough of it, and I grew bored with it early on. Some say it's very over-rated, some say it gets too much hate. I don't think either side is wrong or right.

One of hte best FPS ever?

COD1 and COD2 are better then Modern Warfare2 imo. Why? Everything is better except graphics in those older games. The online is better, story better, gameplay better, controls better and no ridicolous perks.

Modern Warfare2 is not even the best online FPS this gen. TEAM FORTRESS2 on pc is way better, Bad Company2 is better and heck I even enjoyed Shadowrun more then Modern Warfare 2.

Been bored of Modern Warfare2 for months now and dissapointed that I bought it.

Id say its not even top 5 or top 10 FPS this gen, nevermind best ever like you say. ARMA2, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, the new stalker, Killzone2 and Bad Company2 are much better FPS to me personally.

Sorry you need to fix your thread title, you have a spelling error. What should be in the place of "Modern Warfare 2," should be one of the following

-Battlefield 2

-Team Fortress 2

-Counter Strike 1.6

-Counter Strike: Source

Lol, I've sunk more than 100 hours into the game and you couldn't be any more wrong. It's so casual and broken in so many ways it's almost unplayable at times. There's so many better games that beat it by a longshot (CS, Halo, L4D series, CoD4 with promod, etc.). It's just a complete and utter waste of time unless you want to do anything other than mess around and kill time.

It's a mindless shooter played for fun, that's what video games are for. It's not supposed to be some amazing storytelling masterpiece or a balanced, well designed multiplayer experience.

I like it for what it is, I don't bash it for being what it is supposed to.

i despise call of duty'sMP so i only stick with the Sp. why you ask is the single player only 5 hours long? could it because they neglected the single player for the sake of MP, thats why its so short and quick, when was the last time you saw a DLC for single player for a game? gears of war 2 did it, so why not COD??

If you think it's the best FPS games, then you obviously have not played very many FPS games.

The balance of weapons in the game is terrible, very camp-friendly, perks/killstreak/deathstreak awards and map design is just bad.

Basically it's one of the most casual FPS games ever made.

Competitive games should reward you for playing well, not for playing long.twitchmonkey399

It isn't well designed. Case point multiplayer and the reliance on design tropes established, and done better in 1998. It's visuals are competent, they are not stellar like certain said games from years ago. It's central narrative is hilarious; it takes itself so seriously in a plot so broken belief cannot be suspended in this 'believable scenario'. - And yes COD1 had more memorable set pieces and better examples of level design than CODMW2. Find me a level in MW2 that evokes the same sense of self preservation, as Red Square in the first, or Pavlov's House. Rather what we have as unique is the abysmal No Russian level, which the developers couldn't even properly integrate into the terribly broken plot, let alone elevate the taste of the game.skrat_01
