" *Yawn* Oh look. Another MW2 hate thread. Move along people. "

Personally, I am more sick of the people rushing to bash this game...

" GiantBomb...the place where everybody yells at you if you say you don't like MW2 and point out it's obvious problems. "

Uh play some other game?

I hate people who do this too. It bugs me A LOT! 
I am a hugeeee CoD fanboy, and honestly this game sucks. Sure it's fun, yeah the campaign is good. The story is really spotty until the last Act, and most of it is kinda random. Plus, WTF WAS NO RUSSIAN!?!??!?!? God yes I loved it, but there was absolutely no point to it. You saw Makarov, you killed people in an airport and then got killed yourself. It didn't help with the story at all. Then Multiplayer: Terrible. All I have to say is, Terrible. I love how customizable they made the game, could they have made it better and added more? Yes, they should have. Maybe some character customizing or little details most people wouldn't think of but things that would make the game that much better. Side arm camos? Make the bombs look cool? Something like Forge for private matches? Possibilities are endless. Now the maps. Wow, don't even get me started. All of them have some little good part to them but most of them are shit. It's either made for campers or you get spawned killed the hole time. I can't stand how much potential the game had and how little InfinityWard added. This could have been the best sequal of all time, CoD4 to MW2, but it isn't and that dissapoints me a lot b/c CoD4 was so great and MW2 isn't.

Honesty has nothing to do with opinion. Honestly.

MW2 is a great game and people just need to stop bitching. There are other games for you to play instead of rag on this one for it's amazing multiplayer. Get over it.

I don't hate Modern Warfare 2, I hate the people who play it.

I just want a fun and balanced game, that rewards general strategy and player skill.

All Modern Warfare 2 going for it is it's insane level of addictiveness. It is not fun in the way that a game like Halo 3 is, it isn't balanced in that way, it doesn't require mass amounts of skills and strategy. You just need a gun with a red dot and a grenade, maybe some cheep killstreaks, and there you go, you can call in automated AI controlled enemies to come in and fuck the other team up.
 
I quite like MW2 and CoD4, I put 6 and 24 days in them respectively, and the reason I keep playing isn't because of how skillful the game is.

As someone who's in the camp of "This game is OK. It's not perfect, but it's not terrible" I'm even more sick of people bashing the game.
