Why all the MW2 hate?

I noticed that a lot of people hate MW2. I personally think it's a fine game, and while it does have it's flaws, it always keeps me coming back for more. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinions on the game, but I'd like to know, if you hate it, why you hate it.

Also why do people keep comparing it to BC2? I like them both, but they are two very different games. BC2 is more about teamplay and strategy, while MW2 is more about the action side of FPS (most of the strategy in the game comes from custom classes).

I hate the nuke boosters, the hackers, getting a message for a 10th prestige lobby every 2 minutes, and people getting rewarded for camping.

Thats why I just traded In MW2 and bought BC2.

I don't hate the game but I dislike most of the maps, I grew tired of lightweight/commando, and the respawns are just terrible. I can't even play domination on Terminal because it will respawn the enemy at point A.

Also Rust is by far the worst map I have ever played on in any game. I died within .2 seconds of respawning by a knife in the back. That map needs to be removed because it is just plain horrible.

Because it's popular. Once something gets to a certain level of popularity, the hating begins. It's inevitable.

Why all the MW2 threads?

Most including myself would say at least one of the following...

- It's popular, and people hate popular things (Just ask Halo; though hatred for that mainly involves System Wars, but you get the point)

- It's too camp friendly (Nukes and all)

- It's too glitchy (Games like Gears 2 fell because of this)

- Activision's controversial decisions (Milking their hits to death, doing DLC wrong, the recent shakeup in Infinity Ward, pretty much anything Kotick does these days, etc...) These guys make EA's controversial decisions seem like an afterthought.

- Too many idiots playing (though you could say the same for all of online gaming and the internet)

because its "cool" to dislike awesome games

• Numerous glitches and exploits
• Horrible maps
• Even worse community
• Pathetic amount of camping
• Lack of balance in guns
• Horrible Spawns
• Air support is outrageous and the way most players get kills

maps: never wee any (This is a mater of opinion)

bad community: still a problem (Another mater of opinion)

camping: still a problem (I'm sure it is)

horrible spawns: depends on how well your team is doing (Yes it does, even so, the spawning system is seriously flawed)

air support: only if you get a kill streak (Air support is just to easy to attain and overpowered)

lack of gun balance: akimbos overpower but are inaccurate (akimbos aren't the only weapons I'm talking about. Grenade Launchers and M16s are a few other weapons I can't stand)

Sorry about the format, I'm at work.

I just got bored around the time the rpg glitch started and quit haven't been back I don't really hate it I just love BC2 way more :P

Short campaign with a disjointed plot

Probably the best decision you ever made! I did the same. 8)

-Short disjointed campaign that didn't make much sense to people not already familiar with the events of the first one.

-Overpriced. They only upped the price on this because they knew we would buy it anyway, not because it warranted the increased tag.

-boring multiplayer. Sure, it's a matter of opinion, but the OP did ask why *I* hate the game. I got really bored of the MP really quickly. Maps weren't anything special, the matchmaking system was HORRIBLE (sometimes took me 5-6 mins plus to get into a game), weapons felt imbalanced and the odd deathstreak rewards seemed to reward people for sucking. I understand what they were trying to acheive with these, but it didn't work.

I personally I hate all the topics comparing MW2 and BFBC2 and all the topics asking why people hate MW2......

Stop making topics on this, just search the board and I guaruntee you will find several dozen topics saying what you just said TC.

I don't hate it, but I don't like it.

I personally like the game and I guess people just hate on a game because they like to start arguments and such.

MW2 had a lot of potential but somehow Infinity Ward managed to make so many improvements to the gameplay that they just sort of ruined the game completely. The maps aren't nessesarily bad but the developers seem to have not considered acomidating to the needs of different gamers, some maps (Wastland, Highrise, Favila, Rust, Derail) seemed to force people to change their play styles, Favila was a camper heaven, Wastland was built almost entirely around sniping, Highrise allowed for allmost no sniping at all (the sniping spots forced you to make yourself blatenly obvious to the other team). Rust was to small and some of the game modes it could be played on (hardcore headquarters) were not balenced at all, I would spawn infront of the enemys gun barrel. Derail was also a little too sniper heavy, camper heavy, and claymore heavy. Plus, I hated the glitches, you may think they fixed them but there are so many that I bet their are hundreds of glitches we havn't found yet, Gameinformer had an article talking about what Infinity Ward did wrong with MW2, they said that there are so many cheaters that the leaderboards are completely useless, nobody has skill anymore and thats kind of sad, Infinity Ward did such a slopy job that they can do almost nothing to fix their mistake. I didn't sell MW2 but it is a bit sad to see a game with so much potential and fail so terribly, by the end of 2010 MW2 is going to have pretty much lost all its redeeming qualitys, people are going to switch over to BC2 when they don't buy the map pack and they then can't play multiplayer because they get kicked out of every match that sends them into a map pack map. We don't hate MW2 it's just annoying when the game has been made so glitchy, unbalanced (oh and I never talked about the guns, my conclusion to my lecture has been postponed). OK, the guns were just, I don't know, you earned them so early, the grenade attachment should have been taken out and the same goes for the Thumper, One Man Army was completely careless, it should have been called One Man Ammo Dispenser, the M16 should have come last, and your first launcher is better than the RPG. It's like they felt sorry for all those casual gamers who wanted to go hardcore, I can't believe how late the F2000 comes, the ACR is way better than the F2000 and you get it earlier. OK, I can't think of anything else to say so I am done.

MW2 is a great game but people use NoobTube way too much I am waiting for a fix if it ever happens.

There are legit complaints but honestly I love MW2 for the most part. Beating all the spec ops on veteran with a buddy was really fun especially.

The maps are built for camping, the killstreak rewards are overpowered, the guns are pretty unbalanced, the community is pretty bad

Hey, what the heck is with your little video thing, it's annoying to look at, what movie is that even from.

Why all the "Why all the Modern Warfare 2 hate?" threads, that's what I'm thinking.

Sorry, I just really wanted to know, that question has been buging me all week

I really like the game myself, the only problem with it, is that it has become so popular and addictive that you get addicted gamers searching for glitches and camping in stupid places. About 3 of the maps are awful, the rest are excellent, in my opinion the maps are an upgrade on COD4. Guns - How are they not balanced? You've got snipers (campers) , run and gunners (LMG, Assault Rifles) or just runners (Pistols,Machine Pistols, Shotguns) . Theres not even that many types of weapon? Theres about 2 good weapons in each category....so how people can complain about them being unbalanced is stupid, your obviously not found the weapon your best with! Spawing, Theres minimal problems with it! You spawn where its safe, i.e; next to or near 1 or 2 allies. Or at the other end of the map. Community? - No idea what some of you are complaining about? Its got an excellent community.. The reason there is so much MW2 hate is because there is a newer game out! Critics know exactly what they're doing when they release a game, "Better than MWF2" instantly gets gamers thinking, "I'll have that". If Bad Company 2 is anything like the first, it'll be a shoddy excuse for a "copy" of COD, with a bleak and minimal storyline. The soul consalation of that game was "Lets make almost the entire map,destructable". Theres my rant. MWF2 FTW! Wellzification

OK, so first of all you just painted campers in a good light, which they shouldn't, in my world camping is right next to cheating and sniping is not camping, sniping is sniping, you look out a window and shoot anybody you see with your sniper rifle and it also requires stealth. Camping is sitting in the corner of a room with an LMG and shooting anybody that walks into the room, you also have claymores to protect you. The guns are completely unbalanced in the fact that complete noobs get some of the best guns in game right at the begging, you don't have to work very hard to get an M16 but you sure do work pretty hard for a less accurate AK47. The TAR is for all those guys who loved the MP40 and the ACR is for those guys on hardcore who need an automatic sniper. The first launcher you get is better than the RPG and shotguns as secoundary weapons gives you no sense that you sacrificed range for power by changeing your primary weapon. They made two noob tubes and a noob tube replenisher, if you make a class with a noob tube, a thumper, danger close, and One Man Army you have endless explosions, as if Infinity Ward never heard the complaints about noob tubing, instead they glorify it with a title and emblem. The spawning is terrible, it bases everything on how close you are to an allie and not how many enemys that are nearby, and getting spawn camped is not fun but I don't think that ever happened to you. BC2 is not a copy of CoD, it uses ideas from the series but does CoD have huge maps...no, does CoD have destructable environments...no, does CoD make for balanced vehicle combat...no, BC2 is everything CoD would have been if CoD was done right but that didn't happen did it? My guess is your just a fanboy, go and play your CoD just don't lie about the truth.

I hate the nuke boosters, the hackers, getting a message for a 10th prestige lobby every 2 minutes, and people getting rewarded for camping.

Thats why I just traded In MW2 and bought BC2.

Everything about the multiplayer, butI also hate it because of all it's hype and popularity.

I hate MW2 MP but I don't see how people on here are posting that they hate the camping in MW2 but like BFBC2. BFBC2 definitely has more camping but it also uses a lot more tactics (well as much as any console game can. :P)

Cheesemanook

that is very immature reason to hate a game

Call of Duty 4 was afocking new generation to FPS games. That game is and will forever be a LEGEND!

Modern Warfare 2 feels pretty... Hmm.. How should i tell.. Cheap. IW hasgoing money freaks.

Cod 4 was announced for like 3 years. MW2.. 9 months..

U'see what i mean?

Well, I wasn't that crazy about COD4, and this one was basically the same. I mean they had a two year dev cycle and they basically added a DLC expansion. The maps are designed terribly. The Perks, killstreaks and the other crap just makes the game even worse. Look at BC2, they had a shorter dev cycle and the game is totally different from BC1, in a great way. Also, MW2 is a mess, the hackers support it more than IW does. It's ridiculous. tony382

I'm not sure if BC2 had a shorter development cycle, it feels so long ago since I saw the chamercial for BC1.

BFBC2 definitely has more camping but it also uses a lot more tactics (well as much as any console game can. :P)

In what whay, out of the day worth of play I have loged onto that game I have seen almost no campers, if you consider sniping as a form of camping than its camper crazy, but I don't see a lot of your common camper, maybe a spawn sniper, vehicle stealer, and team killing babys who don't get their precious UAV. But snipers can be outsniped, vehicle stealers can, well, just blow them up, and just ignore team killing babys because after two team kills they get kicked.
