    Now before you say anything I have mixed feelings about the game On one hand I don't have the game so I can't say much about it but on the other hand I've heard the campain is very very short. 
    But the question I want to ask is Is there any one out there who hates the game? because I haven't seen anybody who hates the game is it that good or is it very shitty? 
    Are there any COD haters out there?

    This shouldn't be in Off-Topic, just keep that in mind next time you make a thread.  
     
    As for my view on MW2, eh, it's sort of a love-hate relationship. I recently rekindled my addiction to the game, but the constant barrage of killstreak rewards and exploitable explosive weapons (RPG's in particular) have sort of ruined it to a degree for me. I still play, but the game could use a bit of balancing with some of the weapons.

    I don't hate it, but I'm not calling it a masterpiece either. If you're looking for something fresh in online FPS, then MW2 is pretty much more of the same. The game awards the individual, but there is not really any reason to work as a team. If you're looking for a game that is team work focused and you like objectives then Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is for you. If you like a more robust killstreak system than COD4 or COCWAW had and easier gunplay then MW2 is for you.
     
    Edit: Oh and the MW2 campaign is just Hollywood crap. It's flashy at first but then you'll look at the story and go "WTF this makes no sense".

    To be completely candid, I hate that it's so popular. When meeting new people who start talking about Xbox and playing games, I ask them what they play. "Modern Warfare 2." Fuck, why can't you recognize the superiority of BF:BC2? I guess it's just the elitist in me hating on the mainstream.

    The only call of duty I've played is 2. The massive fandom that surrounds the modern warfare games when you think about it is almost worrying, and probably has the American army rubbing its hands together excitedly.

    I think that if you *hate* this game, it's based on a grudge or bias. I enjoy playing from time to time, but the one thing I do hate on Xbox is getting mass voice messages after every game I play advertising "1400 microsoft points for 10th prestige lobby, aim bots, wall hacks, etc". What's the point of playing if you're just going to cheat or get someone else to do everything for you?

    Haven't played it so....YES!!!!!!!!!!!...No I'm pretty indifferent to the series. It's not a game I'll ever find appeal to me, though I can greatly understand its popularity.

    I don't hate the game itself but I do hate the user-base and multi-player aspect of it.  13 year-olds yelling at the mic and using exploits- no thank you.

    I don't hate the game. I do hate that it's basically video game crack, like World of Warcraft, and the only game I've seen some friends play since the game's initial release.

    @Ben99: I don't need congratulations. I acknowledged in my first two sentences that I legitimately dislike the game for its popularity. At least I own up to it.
     
    I hate a lot of popular things because of how they reflect upon the masses that enjoy them. What does Avatar say about what society values in film? What does Twilight say about what teenagers value in literature? What does Kesha say about what college students value in their music? What does Modern Warfare 2 say about what gamers value?
     
    I know I'm coming across as pretentious. I don't need it pointed out to me.

    I don't care for military games as I'm not fond of the audience, setting, and overall vibe of military focused culture. Too much glorification of armed conflict and gun porn.

    I'm a bit annoyed by the "Hey brah, let's go totally shoot some up terrorists and shit" culture that surrounds it but I liked the game, especially the multiplayer. I didn't enjoy it as much as most people but it was definitely an enjoyable experience which surpassed my expectations.

    I love the game to death. LOVE the single player and beat it multiple times, and played (and am still playing) the online to death.  
     
     
    But the h4drc0r3 answer to this thread will be "BF:BC2 is better" because it's not as popular. You can't be mainstream and h4rdc0r3 1337 at the same time, you know.

    I don't really like it as much as I did the first Modern Warfare.  Everything they've added to it just makes it feel a bit broken, in a number of ways... the new perks, deathstreaks(painkiller, especially), akimbo weapons.. ugh.  
     
    If they toned some of that stuff down, like commando knife lunge distance, OMA replenishing grenades, and straight up nerf(or remove) Danger Close, I'd probably enjoy it a bit more.  
       
    But eh, that's just my opinion.

    I don't HATE the game, but it IS overrated, and I'm on record as having preferred World at War.  I think the hype for MW2, and indeed for the series as a whole, generates such a divisiveness in gamers about this game.  You get people hating it blindly and people who wanna have its babies, and not a lot of room in between.  It's somewhat like what you see with Nintendo games.  I seem to be the only person on planet earth who thinks they're just OK, not the greatest things ever or the worst abominations in existence.
     
    Well, at least it's not as bad as the political fanboys.

    It is a love-hate thing, really. I love the fact that it is addictive, the gameplay is superb, and that it is so easy to pick up for a round or two ( to kill time ). I hate the fact that it is riddled with noobtubers and RPG-spammers, and annoying people in general. Alas, I still play it, and I'm not going to stop anytime soon.

    The only thing I can honestly say I hate about Modern Warfare 2 is the writing. I really wish that more time was put into the writing for the story.  Even in  COD 4: Modern Warfare the part where the nuke went off was some bad writing as well because none of the other countries responded to it. It was the third nuke to be used since WW II and no one responds to it besides a reporter? In Modern Warfare 2 what about the other dead Russian guys at the airport? Why just concentrate on the American and not the other dead terrorists?
     
    I hope for Modern Warfare 3 they get some of the writers from Bioware to write it.

Why just concentrate on the American and not the other dead terrorists?  I hope for Modern Warfare 3 they get some of the writers from Bioware to write it. "
    I really didn't like COD4's writing either. Capt. Price was really interesting and that level where all you did was get dragged around in the back of some car was a new idea to me, so i enjoyed that. And All Ghillied Up is the best game level i think, Ive ever played. But it wasn't a good story, I really didn't feel like any of the events were connected in a way that I cared about what was happening. COD4 was as much an action movie as MW2.

    I didn't care for it. Then again, it may be because I suck at it. But I suck at BC2 and like that a lot more, so eh.
     
    All I know is that I'm done with COD multiplayer.

    I really like it. It's always my go to game whenever a free Xbox Live weekend happens. I think it beats Bad Company 2 by a long shot just because I really don't like the way that vehicles are handled in the Battlefield series.

    Hate is a strong word. 
     
    Do I dislike the single player? No. I enjoyed that part of the game a lot, it had huge set piece levels and was a lot of fun to play. Sure the story was bananas, but I get an odd kick out of stories in which American soil is being invaded. 
     
    Do I dislike the multi player? No, I hate the multi player. The thing about that is, I would love it were it not for the fact that the first match I played I was almost instantly killed by "XxXSmokesMaDBluntzXxX", whom had a pot leaf logo and title. I really dislike that sort of person, and yeah, they are unavoidable in any online game; but when the game itself seems to be giving them some sort of outlet for it, I get turned off real quick. I really disliked that the game seemed to turn into more of an arcade shooter than I remembered it in CoD4. I much prefer the Battlefield games, the multi player is just much more to my styling.  
     
    I am willing to give Call of Duty one more shot though, MW2 turned me off, but I have hopes that Treyarch will leave some of the stupid nonsense behind.

    There's so many haters for this game, but that shouldn't be a surprise. It's the way a lot of people choose to be. If it's popular, there's a group out there that refuses to give into the hype. 
     
    Twitter, Facebook, COD, WoW... all examples of what I mean. 
     
    I, however, do enjoy MW2. It's a fun game, which is pretty much the only prerequisite I have in gaming.
