Poll: Do YOU hate Modern Warfare 2?

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Most people on PC hate it because of lack of dedicated servers, removal of many many features, modding disallowed so they can make more moeny via DLC, just generally a gimped up version of the game.

This and something about the game just rubbed me the wrong way.

I haven't played it properly because I boycotted it and wanted to stick to it but I think I know what you mean. Something about the WaW multiplayer felt wrong. It isn't that it is made by Treyarch that I don't like it. It was just missing something I can't explain it but somethign wasn't there it just lacked soul to me.

The online is utterly fucked up. The campaign is shorter than some expansion packs I've played. The map pack is over priced. The game is over priced.

Buying this game is funding the decline in gaming. This game should be £20 or less.

MW2 is kind of like heroin. You really don't want to play it, but you can't help coming back to it. The majority of the time it pisses you off because it sucks, but occasionally you have a few good times and your hooked again. That's my two cents. The game is a total cluster fuck, but its still addicting.

What I am trying to say: Go hardcore!.. Aaaand possible PC^^

Problem is, on PS3, hardcore is nothing but a noobtube/thumper fest. Its a shame really. In a game mode where it takes 1 bullet to kill someone, people have to spam something that kills everything within 30 feet.

Awww... What a shame :,(

The only tuber iv met, who can do it well enough to be effective on hardcore, is one of my clan-mates.. Well sure, it IS used, but not very popular.


This mate of mine is an expert to hit with the bloody thing on distance.
He even has his camping spots, where he knows exactly how to hit just about everywhere from. So while he sits there, the rest of us camps other places in the most noobish manner with our beloved silenced snipers, reporting to him when we see enemies we cant hit, or cant kill without getting spotted ourselves^^

It was fun at the time. But I got bored of it fast, it got overtaken by Battlefield, and now I'm done with that and unable to return to either.

Bring on the Reach multiplayer beta and Red Dead Redemption.

I hate it simply because I see it for what it is. A greedy publisher employing a greedy production company to deliver a half-arsed game with a non-sensical plot because NO ONE PLAYZ SINGALPLAYA ANYMORRRRRR! Though from what I hear the multiplayer was bastardized anyway.

I could go on but my post will reach far beyond the TLDR range.

 

[Joshimodo]

Hated everything about it. What it didn't just copy from CoD4, it ruined beyond measure.

That includes plot, characters, maps, multiplayer, balance (which was barely there to begin with), etc etc.

I would really like to love it, but as i'm a spoiled little pc child, the lack of ded servers really hurts.. i played a good 15 hours or so during the free steam weekend, and the lag isnt completely horrible, but there were still a fair few occasions where i would empty an entire clip into a guys face, only to die and see on his kill cam that he wasnt quite where he was on my screen...

basically, i would have loved this game if the pc version didnt get screwed over, but as it is, it just frustrates me because of how good it COULD have been...

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.

Too many explosives? Friend, you can NEVER have too many explosives.

Anyway, I don't hate it. As far as the multiplayer goes, I have fun just kinda running and gunning/ Sniping since it's really all I can do (that, and C4. I loves me some C4).
The single player was fun, and getting past the fact the story's silly at best, it's a good summer blockbuster plot wise and the campaign was fun (not to mention you had so many invincible allies), and Spec.Ops. Is solid.

There's nothing to hate about it. It fills my need for bullets and explosions untill Body Count comes out.

 

[Blow_Pop]

I don't enjoy shooters and with how many times I had to watch my love play the SAME part over and over and over and over again.......

 

[Radeonx]

It's alright. I prefer every FPS game I've played to it, but it's quite fun with friends in private matches and such.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I don't hate the game, I just hated that, (considering that I don't play online) I spent $60 on a game that I completed in 6 hours.

 

[Hazy]

Do I hate Modern Warfare 2?

No. I acknowledge that there are positive things to come from the ordeal, even if it as the expense of some pretty nasty bugs and otherwise unfair deaths (multiplayer) or even the short and otherwise convoluted single player story.

Granted, I can mention 20 games off the top of my head that would be a better use of my time than Modern Warfare 2, but I do not hate it by a long shot.

 

[Super Toast]

Honestly, if it weren't for the hackers and some of the more unbalanced weapons, I'd love it.

 

[cappystu]

Tried it on my friend's PS3, shit for 3 hours. I thought a bit, and am getting BF:BC2 soon. I think that's better than all the 1337 h4xx0rz everywhere else on MW2.

 

[Ze_Reaper_Of_Zeath]

I like this game.... especially the multi-player................yes I'm weird.

 

[Doddsickle]

It's a pretty terrible game, but I don't mind playing matches with friends.

I can't stand people who insist on being called "PoThEaDxSNiiP3R" or whatever though, jesus, keep marijuana references out of videogames, please.

 

[Fox242]

I really like this game. The single player was short, but enjoyable, the spec-ops was pretty damn sweet, and the multi-player was very engaging and entertaining. I really liked this game, but I didn't love it like I did World at War.

 

[Dys]

Something I don't quite get, aside from why hippies smoke pot and such, is the reason why there are so many MW haters. I mean sure, Activision produced it, and the plot was a bit insane, but I felt it was fun. And I'm still playing the multiplayer, even with the glitching, hacking and Karachi. Because I am genuinely entertained by it.

So what do you, the forum community think?

A lot of people hate it for being a full (or in the case of PC, over priced) game with less new content than your average expansion pack. It was on an old engine, had an abysmally short singleplayer (which some people did like, however I and many others felt it was mediocre at best) and had by far the worst multiplayer of the series (I mean in terms of mechanic and gameplay). Then there's the whole dedicated servers issue on the PC platform, further ruining the multiplayer experience. Also there's the community, the community, from what little I've seen, is filled with doucehbags.

These rather notable shortcomings, coupled with the games huge, undeserved runaway success, make it a very, very easy game to hate. Hell, people passionately hate halo for it's undeserved success, and it's not even a bad game.

 

[KissofKetchup]

I don't hate MW2, but I do think it is fairly overrated.
I also think that the fact that you can dual wield shotguns is absolutely retarded for a game that pretends to be realistic.
