I completed MW2 last night.. Then I knew why I rated it so low. The plot is absurd and confusing. The Wiki plot description helps. What made oriignal Modern Warfare engaging was that it sprung right out of today's headlines. It was both realistic in plot and graphics. MW2 is an absurd storyline. It's like playing in a fantasy world. How could an American cause the airport massacre and set off a thermonuclear war? How could an American General manage to conduct a coup unnoticed? Who's in charge of the military if Shepherd was now a traitor? This is why I like FPS. The realism. It isn't in MW2
