The only problem was the story length. The story was fun just short.

I say yes. The multiplayer is great, and it has amazing depth. The Campaign is fantastic, although short, but the Spec-Ops mode makes up for the brevity of the campaign. So all and all, I would say YES, it did live up to the hype.

Meh, it's pretty excellent, but didn't really live up to the hype.

I only played the SP campaign but I found it to be lacking compared to it's predeccessor. It's good but not as fantastic as MW1 was.

Yeahhh.... in a way, the campaign was great while it lasted, the multiplayer is fun but I'm rubbish at it so I'm probably never gonna touch it again

I set my expectations low to begin with... I'm not sure why, guess I really didn't care. Now that I have it, the game exceeds my prior expectations. Win-win in my book.

How can you possibly say the Multiplayer of MW2 DOESN'T have amazing depth? Look at the TONS of unlockable attachments, killstreaks, perks, death streaks, ranking system, 16 maps, many many game modes, both 1st person and 3rd person gameplay....how is all of that NOT considered depth? Have you even PLAYED the game?

I would say "YES''...how could it not? I'm not saying that MW2 is revolutionary but it is a awsome game.

I think Multiplayer is god awful compared to the first, its a camp fest.. Guys sit around waiting behind doors and laying in corners, and random spawn houses looking out windows.. Compared to the first, multiplayer is a joke.

I dont know about the campaign yet cuz I still havnt played it,but the only thing is annoying me in multiplayer is that you cant walk for 5 seconds without being shot at..I feel like there is no safe spot to hide,everytime you get out of a building or try to get in somewhere u get shot right away..and ppl camp in this game like crazzzyyyy...I kinda expected all this stuff to be in the game thats why i still bought it,the game is still enjoyable and I still have fun when I pplay wth friends..but ppl need to stop ruining the game

100% agree, everyone camps to try to get high k/d's, this will probably end in a couple of weeks though. The killstreaks are WAY overpowered now, I've literally gotten 21 kills off of a chopper gunner in ground war. I mean thats just ridiculous, I'm a fan of killstreaks but they are way to overpowered now.

Story was absolutely amazing. I was hoping for CoD4 type MP, but oh well, this is still fun anyway. I miss gun recoil to be completely honest. You can't even rush anymore. SMGs are useless.

By the way, people need to stop whining about campers. They're easy to deal with. I rarely see another Cold-Blooded user. Cold-Blooded + Flashbangs + Semtex = easy disposal of campers. They HEAVILY rely on UAV. Actually, everyone does.

Definitely met my expectations. Campaign was so fun, but a little short but the excellent Spec Ops mode makes up 100% for it. And multiplayer is great as ever, such a deep game, going to keep me busy for a very long time.

well the sp is short and the story was good but gets confusing during the end. The MP has a few probs but for the most part it makes alot of good tweaks. Overall id say it doesn't disappoint.

I was hoping the story was going to be longer and I also thought Spec Ops was going to be fun, but all it is is challenges in the campaign levels

If the sp was a bit longer and the storytelling needs to be pulled together better. It was just jumping from one place to another. The events didn't connect well.

I'd say yes. The story is intense (I really can't complain about it's length, felt the same length as Gears 1 to me). The gameplay is sooo polished. plenty of Holy **** moments. I LOVE spec-op (I actually think it's a better idea than a co-op campaign) and the multi-player, while I actually haven't played as much of it as my friends (only level 19, compared to most that are 30's and 40's, and one is 62) is just like CoD4's, only more balanced and even more custumizable. one or two complaints, and they're so minor it's laughable. they removed the G-36c. I loved that gun. oh a digital camo doesn't seem as effective (i.e. more un-camoed parts of the gun) anymore.

hell yeah it did. The story, many say was short, but I believe that was a good thing because a longer story meant that it might get boring later on. Even though the story was short Infinity Ward did a great job establishing the storyline so it could fit in to the 5-6 hour gameplay slot.

BTW the story kept me at the edgeof my seat every moment! I love the Campain!

Idk, I just think its dumb how basically 7 kills and your gonna get a nuke if you know how to do it right, and I find the amount of campers has increased alot.

Harrier - Chopper gunner (Which Is OP imo) Then tac nuke.

Everyone gets antsy about how short the story was but I liked the length. I'd rather have a great short story than 5 hours of story and 15 of filler. Multiplayer is every improvement I wanted in CoD4's multiplayer, and spec ops is damn fun.

COD2 was the first one I ever played so getting this one has definately lived up to my expectations.
