I might sound stupid but I'm just wondering if it's still a good time to get mw2 for the Xbox 360. Does anybody play it anymore because it have Black ops and I don't like it that much and I've played mw2 at my friends and liked it more so yea. :P

Yeah, plenty of people still play it, including me

I like Search and Destroy better on MW2 than Black Ops, that's why I play it

Today is the first time I touched it since Black Ops' release. There were 95,000 people on around 8pm Central. I'm sure you you won't have any problem finding matches.

My bud discouraged me from buying it because there are too many hackers (modders or whatever) so idk. I loved that game on PS3 though. I really want to try it on XBOX too.

It's never a good time to get MW2, IMO. MW2 was so bad, it actually made me not want to play another FPS ever again. MW2 is one of the worst games I've ever played. I'll never buy another Call of Duty.

I know right! I don't understand the haters. I loved every minute of that game... I prestiged 5 times and I STILL love it. Black Ops doesn't seem to be as fun as MW.

You know, I really enjoyed it more than Black Ops. I like your killstreaks kills adding to your current killstreak. Because then your high killstreaks are actually possible. I don't understand why they took it out. Maybe to stop the highest killstreaks from being activated a lot. But even then, they're there for us to use. If they don't want us using them they shouldn't be in the game. Then of course you could say it's to stop people from camping but I don't see that at all. I think camping is more encouraged in Black Ops than it is in MW2 since your kills from killstreaks don't count towards your next killstreak reward. Aiming is also different in Black Ops. The sensitivity difference from 1 - 2 is astronomical. 1 is too slow and 2 is too fast. There needs to be an option in the middle. Buying weapons and attachments is also terrible. I don't think people should be able to buy them all, but complete challenges for them like in MW2. Yes get MW2.

Still plenty of people on MW2 and also CoD 4, I would suggest getting both since you can get them for really cheap now.

The campaign was the main draw of MW2 for me. I think Black Ops is an all-round better game, even though I know I'm probably alone in thinking that.

Not alone, IMO Black Ops is loads better than Modder Warfail 2 (yes, the misspelling is on purpose).

MW2 didn't lose that many players to Black Ops. Most people I know play both.

Didn't microsoft shut down the servers supporting the old Xbox? I'd be surprised if you could get online support for old games on the 360.

i dont know how anyone can say black ops has better online play than MW2, few reasons

black ops -

epic fail hit detection.

crazy amount of bullets per kill, some times 3 rounds, sometimes 15.

the weapons took a major step back along with the maps

also majorly bad spawns, especially on nuketown

sorround sound doesn't work with black ops like the rest of the cod series

the graphics arent as good as modern warfare 2

i think i could keep going...

At least Treyarch is fixing every problem that comes up instead of what IW did.

Yeah, it is never a bad time to get any CoD game :D. If you're only in to the multiplayer though, the same still kinda applies. CoD2 and 3 are nowhere NEAR as active as 4 onwards, but they have plenty of players still going. The only one with absolutely zero players (actually, I saw just one in the past 2 months of trying), is CoD Classic. Sure I can play it on the PC, but I miss playing it on the 360 too :(. But yeah totally, MW2 is the second most played CoD on the 360 I'd say ;).

I don't see why not, it's the second or third most played game on Xbox Live. Also it's a good game, but it does have it's fare share of problems.

I just hopped on MW2 a few nights ago and had no problems finding a match. If anything, it was better than before. I didn't hear a single 12-year old rapping during my entire playing session. I guess they migrated to BO.

I feel the same way. Some matches just made me want to blow up my TV. Its was the most unbalanced glitch filled multiplayer game I have ever played......
