    I don't like shooting (FPS), so I was never interested to begin with.  No matter how good this game is, it isn't the game for me.

    I still play the MP, but its not as much fun as the the first MW. The balance is way off, too many exploits and glitches, and I don't really like the lack of match customization. There should be limits to kill streak rewards. I could go on and on.

    Yeah i still would. It's more of a pass the time thing, other than a great game.

    of course... even if it's a little disapointing i've still put in about 3 times the hours i'd normally spend on a game of the same price. This game is exceedingly good value and the combat is addictive as hell, just shows itself as unbalanced from time to time.

    Absolutely not. IMO, CoD has been going downhill since CoD3, but part of the reason I wouldn't buy it is because I'm not massively into FPS'... therefore if it isn't an excellent FPS I won't buy it, since I have other games in my preferred genres to be getting. 
     
    I've heard MW2 is pretty good, but it wouldn't hold my attention for long at all.

    Yes. I really like the game. There are better FPS games on the PS3 but it's still a great game for my  collection.

    I would have rented it instead.  I haven't even had the game in my disk tray since the weekend after it came out.

    Since i havn't experienced any glitches i've had a blast with MP. Didn't care that much for the SP and i havn't played much SO, but the MP is worth every penny the games gonna cost you.

    Yes. Single player is intense and the multiplayer seems to be starting to even out as I'm finding enough people online who hate campers etc that we can start making our own games and actually play a game.

    Yes.  The campaign is one of the most fun I've played all year and as long as IW can keep up with the glitches as they're discovered I think I'll keep playing the multiplayer.

    At first I enjoyed it a ton, despite the lag, despite the no dedicated servers, it was still a load of fun. Then the unbalance hit... So if I could go back in time and unbuy the game on steam, I would.

    I still like the game, and, after my MP run last night I have realized that when I am bitching about people playing cheap it is generally because I am on my C game. I was thinking pretty damn fast at 5am last night...

    I don't understand the complaints people have. The only thing that is kinda bugged are the Terminator 2 shotguns. This game is still fun in its multiplayer especially with friends and the singleplayer is top notch.
     
    Yes, I am glad I made this purchase.

    Yes without a second thought. I only encountered the javelin glitch a few times and never seen people going out of bounds or played an unlimited ammo glitch game. I've played multi for over a day now and loved the single player. Its an awesome game.

    Nope. It's not because of the glitches, balance, or singleplayer. It's not because of the multiplayer. It's not because the game is not good. I simply am not enjoying myself when I play it. Even when I don't get frustrated I am not sure why I am not having fun. The singleplayer was too hectic, and the multiplayer is...I just don't enjoy it and am not sure why. I am really good at it, but I don't know why I don't enjoy it.

    Took me about 4 of 5 hours in one sitting. That, combined with the content of the experience, while great and fun, was not worth 60 bucks. Just my opinion, of course.

    I didn't then, and I wouldn't now. Regardless of how the multiplayer turned out, I just don't have the time to devote to it in order to get good enough for it to be any fun.

    Even if you eliminate the multiplayer aspect completely, the single player and especially spec-ops makes it worth the purchase.

    There are so many things wrong with this post....
    1. You haven't even played MW2
    2. You thought that COD 3 was better than COD 4
    3. You don't like FPS, so you bash an FPS, because it's an FPS
    4. You barely know anything about this game, yet you say that you don't like it

    As much fun as I had with the single-player, it was really really short.  The multiplayer has been nothing but a headache to me, and although I thought Spec. Ops was fun for a little while, I didn't think the missions were long enough to justify putting time aside with one other buddy to play it.  If it would have been for up to four players, THEN I may have put more stock in the mode.

    Overall, I suppose I may have been persuaded to buy it had I some extra money, but no way would I have gotten as excited for it as I did.
