Poll: Do YOU hate Modern Warfare 2?

[Katana314]

I won't go to very far lengths to defend it, but I found it not bad.
While I don't want any other people going the same route, I will admit that as long as the matchmaking system WORKS and doesn't cause extreme lag, I have little opposition. As for the weapons, let me put it this way: They made everyone overpowered. Everyone has their own chance to apply some really absurd mechanic and set of perks to themselves to dominate. Maybe you use FMJ, track the tiniest movement with your motion sensor, and blow people away from across the map. Maybe you carry 5 explosive weapons and blow everyone up. Maybe you rush around like a zergling knifing people. The only way you're going to be weak is if you limit yourself to the "pro lo4dout"...
M4A1 Assault Rifle
Bandolier
Red Dot Sight
Stopping Power
Steady Aim

Yes, the game is unrealistic, and now goes far beyond the initial assault rifle setup. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's BAD...just refresh your viewpoint and it's still playable.

It was a terrible game, but I don't hate it for that. I pity it, if anything.

Why the heck would I hate it? The only problem with it is the occasional plot-holes and the short length of the Single Player. Other than that, it's an awesome game.

Good point. By the same token, the only problem with Nazi Germany was that they wanted to propegate the master race and take the world by force. Other than that, it was awesome.

Spoiler: Angry rant about Nazi Germany and all that.

Well, actually, there was NOTHING wrong with Nazi Germany aside from the whole little "jew-killing" matter. Just about everyone with enough force tried to take the world by force for no better goals. Mongolians, Macedonians, Romans, British, French and so on. And their governments at the time were no better then Nazi Germany's. I don't see how Monarchy is that much better then Fascism - your personal freedoms are screwed either way, you know? And at least there are SOME laws when it comes to Fascism. A monarch doesn't need laws, he can do whatever.

In some ways, the whole Nazi Germany affair is kind of inspiring. And it certainly teaches a lot of things about so called "human nature". The German people were the desperate friendless nerd being beat up by jocks from some generic school teen movie for like 2 or 3 decades by the time WW2 broke out. And yes, the conditions inflicted on Germany upon their defeat in World War 1 were VERY debilitating and damaging to the country's economy and spirit. No wonder they could be stirred with a dream of being superior then everyone else promised by a charismatic speaker. And jews were just a scapegoat, but then again, pretty much everyone disliked Jews back then. You just have to look at history, there were major religious clashes between Jews and Christians in Europe. Jews were THE scapegoat for a lot of things, and they were kind of an acceptable target back then. Even the whole money stereotype was in a way created by Christianity.

And no, I'm not propagating violence against the Jews or the Christians. It just pisses me off how people look at Nazi Germany. Sure, they weren't the nicest bunch in many ways, but it's not a reason to pretend that they were some kind of shitty 2-dimensional comic book villain.

People should get the fuck over the whole "Oh noes Nazis are the epitome of eeeevul" thing and look at the rest of history.

But then again, winners tend to get the right to demonize the losers, so this is pretty pointless.

Now when it comes to MW2... I dislike it for all the reasons most PC players do.

Y'know, the usual stuff. No dedicated servers, for the major issue.

And personally, I'm not a big fan of that type of FPS games. I don't find so called "modern warfare" that interesting, the story (which I played despite not buying the game, yay for game sharing) is kind of lame and too political in a bad sense for me. And I didn't find the multiplayer fun at all.

For my FPS games, I'd rather stick with L4D and TF2. And maybe some science fictiony ones, although I haven't played too many since going on a huge Unreal Tournament spree back in 2000. And Half Life 2 multiplayer doesn't count =o

Haven't played it so I can't form an opinion on it.

 

[CuddlyCombine]

Too many explosives, overpowered weapons, overpowered perks, terrible maps, glitches, hacks, exploits, griefers, 10 year olds, and L33T douches for multiplayer to be fun anymore.

Single player was enjoyable while it lasted.

I can agree with you on the l33t douches, but the maps are fine, and the guns aren't really overpowered. They're aiming for some level of realism, after all.

i only hate it because it is impossible to convince someone that battlefield is a better game. they simply refuse to listen to you

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Upon release? I loved it.

Few months of play? I fucking despise it.

The game is so broken, and they're doing nothing to fix it. Ninja no longer works (you can be seen on Heartbeats), the UMP glitch is still working, Modded Controllers have gotten me killed thousands of times, and the list goes on.
