seriously, if you looked at these forums alone you would think modern warfare 2 was the worst game ever and i realize that all the comments will say im an idiot for liking this Piece of shit game, but whatever
 
1) I find shooting stuff in games fun, and this game happens to do that very well.
2) The balance.  Seriously, I have used just about every gun in this game and if you think something is underpowered its because you never took the time to figure out how to use it 
3)Melee.  I see alot of people say how can a knife be stronger then a gun?!? Its a god damn game.  Its meant to be fun. You do know games are supposed to be fun, right?
4)Maybe i'm a minority here, but fuck dedicated servers.  Matchmaking is fast, efficient, and i dont need to worry about finding a game myself.
 
im sure i could think of alot more, but its late.... so yeah... start flaming me cause i like something popular and everyone knows its uncool to like popular things

Modern Warfare 2 is the only game I can stand playing online and that has to say something, right?

Man, you are totally right shooting stuff is fun! Also tell anyone who got stabbed through the neck that knives aren't strong...I'm just saying.
 
I also agree with the gun balance, I decided to get mastery with all of the guns, and forcing yourself to try every gun really widens your horizons as to what guns can be applicable to what situations.

I give this post...hmm...2/10

Just so you know, dedicated servers do not necessitate the browsing through long server lists of yore. Also, Modern Warfare 2 definitely is a great shooter under all of the bugs, glitches and exploits, but I think most of us around here just don't want to put up with that nonsense anymore.
 
Well, I won't speak for everyone else. That's the way it is for me.

It's one of the few games that I've spent more then a 100 hours since EVE online back in the day and Persona 4 earlier this year. 250 hours to be exact.
 
The matchmaking system works, can't really complain.

I think you are prolly a troll but I have a lot of time on my hands.
 

1. The shooting isn't good. There is no recoil. CoD 4 did it much better because the guns felt powerful. Shooting an assault rifle at pinpoint accuracy over 300m isn't what I call fun. It also unbalances the game because you can use assault rifles as snipers.
2. Assault rifles are so overpowered, you can use them in every situation. Before I traded in MW2 for BC2 I used the ACR all the time and it was great in every situation.
3. People don't care about the melee, it was in CoD 4, what people care about is the hyper fast knifing with tactical knife and the teleport ability known as commando.
4. No dedicated servers means no user created content, which is one of the best things about PC gaming. It's Activision's way of making gamers pay for more.

I have never been in a game on MW2 that was matchmade fast or efficiently. The rest of OP sounds bizarre but the matchmaking compliment takes it too far.

I think it's great fun.  
 
I give this about 5-6 more posts before this becomes a Battlefield vs Modern Warfare conversation. 

The game needs dedicated servers, the host advantage is ridiculous, and the game is far from balanced

 
A true military experience.. who go for games like Battlefield. "

The game's pretty tight, but you're wrong about the balance. That game is the MvC2 of FPS games. 

" I think you are prolly a troll but I have a lot of time on my hands."

sorry but i just stop reading at n° 2 , MW2 BALANCED?! HAHAHAH you must be trolling....

Either an expert troll or just something that defies belief. Battlefield does not (and has never) represented or attempted to represent realism. I've loved Battlefield since 1942 but that statement boggles the mind.  "

"  Edit: Now that I read you called me "fucking sad" for some reason I regret being so genial but whatevs.  "

 I would still disagree in that most rounds of battlefield (especially BC2 on live) devolve into half the team going sniper and the other half throwing down health packs and reviving each other in order to advance their own levels instead of ever getting a whiff of the objective.  "

"  I would also argue that its only TDM in MW2 that is strictly the tearing around killing and that the objective based modes are far, far more fun.  "

i never said anything about bfbc2, in fact the little time i have played it i can tell im gonna love it and as soon as i get the money its the next game im getting
please stop comparing the game this blog is about (MW2) vs the game that i never mentioned (BFBC2)
 
edit: also the person saying assault rifle is overpowered because it is good in any situation, sure its good for all of them, its not the best for any situation though
SMG or shotgun will blow it out of the water short range
LMG will blow it out of the water mid range
sniper rifle will blow it out of the water long range
how is it overpowered if it isnt the best at anything and just ok at everything?

Begun, the flame wars have.

everything is good except the dedicated server. once u play on a dedicated server u really can't go wrong. a lot of times if u lag it is because it is ur internet. with peer to peer it is the host and ur problem.
