Now before you flame me, let me first say that MW2 is by no means a terrible game (I only feel a little bad for wasting $60 on it a year ago). But compared to every other AAA title I've played, it's got the worst multiplayer component by far, and yet the whole goddamn world seems to play it.
I just dusted MW2 off and played it a little again (since Black Ops is about to come out) and the game is even worse than I remembered. In one game I played, the entire opposite team chose scavenger, danger close, and commando with the noob tube, and just went around blasting everyone with their one-hit kill 10 yard radius death explosives.
In another game, everyone ran around with tactical knives, marathon, and commando pro and just knifed knifed knifed. Not to mention the connection was shitty, so there was absolutely no hit detection on these guys.
A third game I joined was just killstreak spawn rape. Pavelows and Harriers, then chopper gunners and gunships, then a fucking nuke to seal the deal. If anyone's played Team Assault in Medal of Honor and got a team spawn trapped, it was like that but 1000 times worse. Christ.
And don't get me started on all the hackers all throughout the game, and the fact that every single person I heard on a mic was a little kid.
God, what a bad game. I was psyched to get Black Ops but I had forgotten how bad MW2 was. Even though Black Ops is going to reduce the splash damage of the grenade launcher, make killstreaks harder to get, remove commando, etc, I'm not so sure about getting it now, since it still carries the franchise name of this disgrace of a game.
Whatever happened to the Call of Duty I knew and loved? CoD4, I want you back :-(
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009
The sequel to 2007’s wildly successful first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story of American and British soldiers fighting Russian ultra-nationalist forces.
Modern Warfare 2 is the worst AAA title ever
I only played it for two months, but I absolutely loved it. Single player campaign was batshit crazy, the spec op's stuf was a nice diversion and the online component was always really fun when I played it. Just because people exploit the game or don't play at the same level as you doesn't mean a game is terrible.
" No, I liked it a lot. "I got on my MW2 train again like a week ago. It's great, I joined constant team deathmatch games for about 2 hours straight for 2 days in a row. At 20 minutes a game that is 20 games. Here are some approximate results from what I can remember
One hacker which when that game ended I left and found a new lobby. One fast knifey guy got me twice but then I was expecting him so he ate bullets. Got noob tubed a couple times in which I proceeded to put a sniper bullet in his left eye. Saw 2 Ac130s and shot them the fuck down. Saw some Choppers Gunners, also shot them down. One nuke from a guy that boosted. Once again, new lobby. Heard a few kids, but muted them when the got annoying.
My average score was probably around 24 - 5 with my team losing about %50 of the time.
...Figure it out.
And yes, I am bragging.
You bitch and moan but will inevitably buy the next Call of Duty only to bitch and moan about it. The vicious cycle continues.

" No cool story bro yet? "I aim to please.
But more to the point. I agree with OP. I think MW2 had great potential but the mutliplayer was filled with so many fuckups like the spawn system, the killstreaks and certain weapon and perk combinations being very overpowered that it just became a chore to play after a while.
That's the reason I'm not buying Black OPS. Every major multiplayer game has a Beta. Every single one. From (my current favorite) BFBC2 to the original MW. Why they stopped doing betas is beyond me. You'll never find all the bugs during QA. Never but yet you release something that will get broken by the first day, promise fixes and then never deliver them and later over charge for map packs for a broken mess of a game. Do a fucking Beta. Blizzard always does them, Bungie does it, Dice and the list goes on. Fuck Call of Duty.
Side note though if you play the game on PS3 it's not as broken since it's harder to mod that console
Sorry you suck at the game, dude. Maybe you should stop being bad and it might be fun.

Black Ops does have a beta, just not a public one. Same with MW2. Have you played MW2 lately? All of the bugs people harp on(not that they ever specify the bugs) about have been fixed. And I got both map packs for 600 points each.
I can't believe after nearly one year, I am still defending this game from droves of misinformed, vociferous forum dwellers.
I really wonder where all these games are. I mean, I have never had so many bad incidents. The worst thing I have experienced was boosters trying to get nukes. None of this, everyone had this or had that. Noob tube, whatever man, dont play. People need to stop playing so seriously and just enjoy the game.
" a little bit late on this friend. but anyways ya call of duty 2 was the last really good call of duty game cod4 was pretty good and waw hadsome good singleplayer missions but overall most of them are average games with awesome production values "I'm sorry, I hate to bring this up but is English your native language? Every single post I've seen that you've made has had a lack of periods, capital letters, and grammar in general. If it's not your first language then I apologize.
