Why would you buy this?
PostedMarch 14, 2011
If you know anything about good, quality CoD titles, you know that CoD4 was one of the best ever released. PERIOD. The campaign was challenging, made sense, wasn't insanely short, and the online was BALANCED. So what happens when Modern Warfare 2 was released? Everyone flocked to it. OF COURSE YOU WOULD! Especially if you loved the first one as much as I did. But I have to be honest (and won't praise this like little immature fragheads that know no better)......THIS GAME WAS TRASH! PURE TRASH! Why? Well, for one, the campaign was AMAZINGLY SHORT. Normal took me four hours......FOUR! When the first one took me 8 on the same level. Not only was it short, it made hardly any sense. One point, you're trying to find some Russian guy that's reeking havoc, then you're fighting off Russians that are invading the US (the game never tells you the ending of that), THEN you're trying to kill a US General because he betrayed you (without knowing why he betrayed you). Sounds like a good story, right? NO! Go play Uncharted 2 if you want to know what a good story sounds like. However, the majority of the audience probably couldn't care less about the story. They most likely went straight to the online. Which, again, I must admit.....WAS PURE TRASH! Now let's go back to the good ol' days of Modern Warfare 1. In the first one, you could have your typical noob tube (grenade launcher), but it removed your first perk. That meant, once it was gone, it was gone, and didn't come back until you died and respawned. There were no heartbeat sensors, no posting claymore after claymore AFTER CLAYMORE at a single spot in your little "protective tent", and not once did I come across a hacked MW1 lobby. It was CoD online at its prime: balanced and fun. But most importantly, IT WAS BALANCED AND FUN..................NOT MW2. I don't understand how a game can be balanced when I can stab a friend from five yards away (that's called lag, people.....and that's on their part, not yours). It's also not balanced when you can have a grenade launcher, keep refilling it, shoot, refill, shoot, refill (this is all thanks to the new Scavenger perk that replaced Bandolier), without ever using a gun. It's even worse when you can carry an assault rifle along with a shotgun, on top of that shotgun having range that could rival the worst assault rifle. Last I checked, shotguns were supposed to be close-range.....EXTREMELY close-range. Not being able to pick someone off 200 feet away. I'm not even going to talk about the hackers. That's been around since the game came out....look how long it took for them to fix it, assuming they have. Add that with horrendous lag, inbalanced weapons and perks, and WAAAAAAY overpowered kill streaks (which can be obtained by the inbalance weaponry, making the game even worse), and you have yourself a horrible Call of Duty title. Don't even bother picking this up, even teenage boys that love shooters (like I used to....I'm 19, but this is gettin' old). Save up your money, go buy Black Ops (CoD4 vet approved :D), and have fun with something that was put together WAAAAAAAAAY better than MW2 could even dream of.

The greatest game in the history of the world.

This could possibly be the greatest game in the history of the world. For one, the graphics and sound are amazing. Even on a standard T.V. like mine, it's beautiful. & Second to MAYBE Black Ops, the campaign is one of the funnest I have played. It takes you around the world to many different locations for fast-paced, exciting first person gameplay. The campaign has a decent length and good storyline, & then, for those of you with a friend, has a cool feature called Special Ops, that is like a co-operative campaign. & The reason I bought the game, multiplayer. I was tired of my friends talking about this game and their PS3s, so I saved up all my money, and bought it. One of the best decisions of my life. So, the first thing I did, was call my friends, and we got online. If you're looking for a good FPS multiplayer, this is definitely your game. Buy it, I swear you won't regret it. Unless, of course you HATE hackers, then I recommend Black Ops. Yes, there are hackers, and that's one thing that makes me sad about this game, and of the companies that won't put forth the effort to remove the hackers like they do on Black Ops, because people DO play this game, and it does annoy us. When Modern Warfare 3 comes out, I might still be playing Black Ops (for the zombies), and I know I'm gonna still be playing this game, so I'm hoping that they realize their mistake, and keep the hackers off. Because, to some people, it does ruin the game. Overall, it's a 10. & I recommend it, if you can handle the hackers....
