I'm not really getting into MW2. I played more of Call of Duty 4 online than I have a other game ever, but playing MW2 is just dull.
- No local search filters. I figured this might not be such a big problem but it has been. Getting a lot of overseas rooms. Was surprised to hear they weren't using a local search option like Treyarch had for WaW. Can't see why they didn't use that tech since it was so readily available.
- No party chat. It pissed me off when they announced it and playing the game has done nothing to change my mind on the subject. Rooms full of racist fuckwits, screaming kids and people playing shitty music for everyone to hear over their microphones. Can't chat with mates playing different games either. They took one of the best features of Live and dictated no one could use it. I subscribe to Live I should be the one to decide whether I use it or not. Cheaters are just going to use another chat program over PC if they really feel the need too, punishing everyone for that is bullshit. The argument of forcing players to atleast communicate to form strategies is laughable, racism, screaming, music and 4 letter words aren't a tactic.
- Maps are too big. Maybe I'm alone on this, but the maps are just too large. It means virtually every map turns into a complete snipe fest. I don't mind using a sniper at times but not every map and it feels like snipers have the advantage on virtually every map on the game, which means players are camped out which in turn means the whole 'run and gun' gameplay on some of the tighter maps in CoD4 doesn't exist in MW2.
- No hardcore headquarters. My favourite game mode. They added it to CoD4, they added it to WaW and for some reason they geniuses at Infinity Ward decided yeop lets drop that game mode. Why? So you're left with Hardcore Deathmatch. Which leads back to the previous problem; every map has a team full of snipers. You're dead before you can do anything because snipers are camped out picking you off before you've even had a chance to move or even see an opponent and with no actual objective to perform, you can camp out as long as you want. I used to love Hardcore Search and Destroy but I've played it enough now, I want something a lil faster.
I'm just not feeling this game at all now. I was absolutely pissed at the mess Gears of War 2 was online, that lag infested fuck fest complete ruined the MP for me and I gave up on it months ago bitterly disappointed because I loved the original. I figured oh well I'll wait for MW2, at least after MW they can't possibly fuck that up and yet with every announcement of the multiplayer I was baffled by the decisions but still hopeful. Now however, I'm actually just kind of over it. I've played more Borderlands than I have MW2 and when I am actually trying to get into MW2 I'm thinking maybe I should just go back and play some more Forza 3.
At this point in time, if they added new maps to Call of Duty 4, I'd rather buy them and play that than MW2.

none of the maps I really love, most of them are fine but nothing lovable
