Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 review
15 years ago
Updated my journal
I've heard a few things about this game, some good and some bad. I actually thought that this game would be an absolute blow, but then I borrowed 
's copy via Steam and gave the SP a go. Well it starts the game immediatly when you select SP, so you can't view the options at first, which isn't bad but to some it's annoying. The story is generic as hell:
"Russia hates America and invade, the US Rangers retaliate but are completely useless outside of the US and the British saved the world once again. End."
But then again, who plays a game for it's story? Unless you like RPGs and that's okay(unless it's Final Fantasy which has too much story and bugger all gameplay). This game is action packed, from snowmobile chases to running through a village unarmed and being chased by the local militia to a super badass boat chase. You'll see some new characters, such as Shepard, Ghost, etc, as well as some old characters, Soap Mactavish, Capt. Price, etc, you play as a man named Gary "Roach" Sanderson and his mentor is none other than Capt. Soap Mactavish(who is super badass).
While the single player is pretty cool, the multiplayer is absolute rubbish. It's unbalanced, broken and poorly designed, what was Infinity Ward thinking? No dedicated servers? No anti-cheat software? Are there ANY PC gamers working at Infinity Ward? And let's not forget the sub-par map packs which go for an absurd price of $10.99 per. Why didn't they just make the multiplayer like the one in Call of Duty 4? Because it HAS dedicated servers and anti-cheat software, if they had made the MP like CoD4's then it would be a whole lot better.
Bottom line:
Only if your REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLLLLLLLY want this game, then buy it, but do yourself a favour and wait until Black Ops. Treyarch KNOW what they're doing, Infinity Ward just want the money and refuse to listen to the community.
The good:
Action packed SP
New characters
Soap Mactavish
New weapons
The bad:
Generic story
Rubbish AI
Shitty multiplayer
Expensive DLC's
Score: 65%
PS:
If the price drops for Modern Warfare 2 after Black Ops' release then I might consider buying it, and that goes for the DLC too.

And people who constantly run around and knife people; They suck.
Now snipe camping, I can't really complain, since I'm a bit of a sniper fag myself, hiding in a bush and popping domes like balloons at the carnival x3
I don't like campers, I always hunt them. I don't have MW2 anymore it stopped working after a while because it was borrowed. However I still play CoD4
Yeah everyone hates campers, I too have a tendency of hunting them, and once they're down, I just teabag em to piss em off x3
I don't teabag, I just shoot and find somebody else to kill.
