Not exactly a professional review, but it looks like a good game. And until Americans get their cool accent back they will remain goofballs in the eyes of the world aha
Review: Modern Warfare 2

Hmm, now this game was a mixed bag of awesome and disappointment.
The singleplayer campaign looked gorgeous as CoD usually does, it had some real oh holy crap moments but the whole thing was way too badly stitched together. The plot did not feel very coherent and most of the time felt incredibly rushed in order to get to the "goodies". All in all the campaign was way too short and disconnected. I mean I am not a very good FPS-Player and I managed to beat it in just about 4 hours on the normal difficulty.
Now the multiplayer... I just can't get into it, the maps are pretty poorly designed, the weapons are far too accurate (I was sniping my ass off with assault rifles like they were a bolt action sniper rifle on a tripod) and the gameplay is just too fast paced and without dedicated servers where you can find a good community of players that are around your level and actually work together, it just turns into a pubbie zergrush every game. I know it is beating a dead horse but this one really deserves a good spanking, I. Can. Not. Understand. Why. They. Removed. Dedicated. Servers.
All in all I am quite disappointed I bought the game at this time, the single player campaign certainly atleast deserves a play through, but it is not so impressive it could not have waited until the game is in the bargain bin.

While it's true that you do do all of those 'oh shit' moments, I think it has to be said that in every case they are not nearly long enough or tense enough. You climb the glacier for all of five minutes, for example. In that case, I think I would've enjoyed a longer segment. I never really felt a sense of tension for my person. When he slips, I didn't really feel anything. It's hard to describe. Perhaps I'm just desensitised to things like this in video games now, but then the heli crash and nuke in CoD4 made my jaw drop. Nothing in this one really click.Russ Pitts said:
I'm playing MewTew and enjoying it, but I can't help but feel the game is lacking. It's good, but not as good as it could and should have been. I can adequately describe it as "Cod4, but with more guns and a sub-par story.". True, it is a sequel, so it should be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but I can't help but feel cheated.
My 'Oh Sh*t' moment was from the opening credits you showed of the nuke from space, that was pretty impressive and the only part of the game that I am interested in // I didnt play the first, wont be playing the second and not because I dont like FPS, I love them, its just I am not interested in the series // I have the Yahtzee approach to games, as in I dont like it when squeals are made of a game over and over again and the only thing that gets better in the game is the polly count
Yes it is a pretty game and you get to play with ever gun under the sun but, as I have mention before in other topics, 'pretty' is not hard these days for game designers
Also you guys are lucky that you are only paying $60 for new games // Over here in Europe most new games run around the ?50 mark, which is about $75

First off let me say i agree for the most part with John Funk, that on the whole the PC community has been poor on presenting its case on the vast problems of MP for MW2. The constent entitlement problem as pulled support we could have gotten from Xbox or PS3 users which in the end hurts PC alot. And really in way PC users deserve SOME of the flak we got cause of the before mentioned entitlement issue and pay back's a B*tch. With that said i do stand with the MP being shit on PC, for only cause the hacking is worse then CSS and the fact that out of all the features missing from MW i miss punk-buster the most
I second this. I love the CoD series, MW1 in particular, and I experienced the same issues you seem to have. It was decent at best. Having finished it, I wished I'd just re-played MW1 instead. I too would like to know how this game deserves such a review.TheRealCJ said:
hell, if you could get up that close to Makarov, why not just get rid of the enemy there, shoot him in the head and spray everyone else. might not be easy in real life but it's a video game.hansari said:

The level, or rather the whole game, had a very poor plot to begin with.Fallenangel157 said:
The "Ultranationalists" have taken over Russia...why bother with a fake terrorist event when you already have such control over the masses.
Oh, and if anyone else doesn't notice this very amateur move...
The whole level you are all running around without masks....because apparently the newly built and famed "Zachaev International Airport" doesn't have a single security camera!
So high profile men like Makarov, and his minions (who probably have a laundry list of past crimes) don't need to worry about being identified...
