I have always thought MW2's multiplayer would be pretty boring, mainly because of the small maps and incredibly wierd hacks and stuff I've heard about. 
Though I've always wanted to try it out since pretty much all of my gaming friends say it's great, so when I saw the free weekend on Steam I quickly preloaded it and waited.  

It didn't start out well since when the game got unlocked I still had to download another 8GB (I think) since the preload only let me download 4GB (I see why they wouldn't let you preload everything if they were scared of someone unlocking it or something, but to leave out 8GB is just ridiculous if you ask me) 
When it was finally downloaded, I booted it up and joined a game of Free-for-all. 
The first thing I noticed was how smooth everything felt which immediately made me like the game more and want to keep playing, it made a good first impression.
What happened next was something I was not expecting at all, I was in the lead, I thought everyone was going to be all ''pro-style'' and shoot me around every corner, especially since almost everyone in the game was around level 60. Even though I got bumped down to fourth place before the game ended, I still wanted to play even more, which I did.   

Next I joined a Team Deathmatch game and this time it didn't go as well as the first time but I still had a good time, except for one thing, Killstreaks. The one thing that brought the game down for me was being blown up by huge explosions from the sky when I was trying to have a good time with my gun shooting people. 
I can see why many people think killstreaks is fun and since I have only played the game for about an hour or two I still haven't unlocked many of them so maybe I will learn to appreciate them after playing some more.  
Right now I have way more respect for MW2 than I had before and I will keep playing for the free weekend, and while I think it is a good game it still hasn't made me want to buy the game but you never know.

I agree with you, the ridiculous killstreaks are what made me stop having fun. It makes you camp in-doors, and that is not fun in my opinion.

if there was a no kill streaks, or just cod4 kill streaks (i think they would work pretty well) playlists then i would so start playing this game again

If they took out Chopper gunner, AC-130, and Predator Missile this game would be a lot more interesting.
 
I didn't list tactical nuke since I haven't seen one since December.

Some of the killstreaks just piss me off sometimes. Predator missile being one of them. If you're outside and somebody calls in a predator missile(which are easy to get) 90% of the time I die, and when somebody calls in an AC-130 or Chopper Gunner, I'm forced to just stand inside a building or I die. And if I do die, I usually spawn outside right onto more gunshots/explosions.
 
I honestly would have preferred them to just keep the COD4 killstreaks.
