The hate that the game gets around here is fairly extreme as it is definitely an enjoyable (albeit heavily flawed) game. However I name at least fifteen to twenty games which were better.

This is a terrible deal on an already overpriced, typical shooter, lacking expected PC features. I don't think it's downright awful, but I don't understand what there is to defend here. And I've been playing it for a bit.
I am not hating on the game. I am hating the fact that it does not have features I would have liked it to have. I fully planned to buy the game before I learned of the bullshit. But there are so many other games I DO still have no qualms about that I see no reason to ignore the bullshit and get the game anyway. Ya dig?Stallion Free said:

That is freaking brutal. :lol
I think it's 6 actually.Javaman said:
I think the most I ever paid on Steam was $49.99 for The Orange Box and that was technically 5 games. The next tier down is $37.50 for Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Edition and then it's $33.75 for Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands 2, and BioShock 2 pre-orders.
I refuse to pay $51 for a 4-month old game. I don't even pay that much for new console games in Canada where they're normally $78 after tax.

Everyone should be buying Plain Sight instead. Amazing game. I bought it just for some quick multiplayer sessions but they all end up turning into sessions of over an hour at a time.
After putting in around 7 hours this weekend I can at least determine my interest in MW2. It is worth the same price I paid for BFBC 2 for me, $20. Of course the MW is still tough to find at this price, so it might be a while before I pick it up.
I got to observe some of the glitches, cheats, and exploits. It isn't a game that is going to be free of those things, probably ever. If you are person that just plays 1st person shooters to shoot things (as someone else mentioned on a different thread) MW2 will be fun for you.

Had fun with the MW2 weekend, actually tempted to buy it but I can't, not enough money, activision annoys me with their management and 1 in 20 games was a glitched mess of moon jumping or exp exploits
Still, it has some sort of just-one-more feeling to it, and I am a sucker. Also to me it's a good counter strike replacement I think.

I played CS for a long time and this game has the same feeling to me, remove the respawns and it seems closely related. That's about as far as it goes though. It might also be that you can take down enemies with 1 burst of a gun instead of half a clip like most shooters out there, it's no quake.Moobabe said:

I liked Sabotage mode, thanks for putting up with my noobness, Mutfox.

I kept getting put into hacked servers. It was hilarious and actually fun sometimes. One had incredible jump heights and sprint speed, and unlimited ammo. One bumped me up to level 70, no joke. Although that kinda defeated the purpose of the unlocks. I hope they reset that if I ever buy the game. Or maybe I can just go to that prestige mode.

I was like this until I pld the game and saw the light, yeah its p2p, yeah it sucked that its not 32 players, no mods & no servers etc. But end of the day while I was playing the game it was fun and thats what counts really and that far out scales my needs for the PC features it clearly lacks. Most PC gamers won't get it just on principle alone not willing to budge end of.
so i know theres a DD deals thread but its been dead as a dead dodo for a while..

I couldn't get into MW2 for the short time I played it. But I can't really blame the game. My PC was too weak to run it and I had no ideas what was going on and just died every 40 seconds or so. Perhaps with a better PC and after playing the game on SP for a while first.
I had much more fun with Team Fortress 2 (with some GAFFers) and Left 4 Dead 2.

There are plenty to choose from. When you have niche games like Red Orchestra still running around with enough players to get into a match pretty much whenever, of course you have plenty to choose from.Sanjay said:
Sorry, I don't like my games broken, and filled with busy work.
MW1 has a much more delicate balance with way better maps. MW2 is just unbalanced and encourages camping to get kill streak rewards that win the game for you. The gun play is the same, but you die a lot faster in MW2 simply because of all the gimmicky shit.

I don't like TF2 either.
Yeah I never got into tf2 either. I keep coming back to it and it is kinda fun for like 20 minutes or so but then I get bored quickly. Maybe because I suck at it. TFC was a fun game though, and I spent a good amount of time playing it back in the day. I was really excited for tf2 when they first announced it and then disappointed with its cancellation and re-branding.
Thanks, that sounds good. I think I'm going to take the plunge. I imagine there's still an active online community?

It's a completely different style of game though. I love TF2 a lot more than MW2 but they satisfy completely different gaming itches. I had a lot of fun playing MW2 this weekend, I clocked in 8 hours. As I told the guys I was playing with, I hate everything about the game except the game itself. I hate the lag, the community, the price, and the infrastructure, but at it's core it's a really solid and addictive game. Of course I'm not going to pay $50 for it, we're PC gamers and you can get so much bang for your buck for the same amount, but for what it is it's a good game and I can definitely see buying it in 15 years once it's down to $20.

The gunplay is exactly the same and if you enjoyed 2, you will certainly enjoy 1. I was recommending picking up MW1 to my friends who enjoyed MW2 a lot this weekend, but didn't feel like dropping 51$.

There is still a very very active community and tons of full servers.
I have to disagree there. I'm not one to counterpoint opinions, but it is pretty damn hard to get a OHKO with the sword. You can only bullrush in a straight line, you have to hit a person after a good distance of that straight line bullrushing, and the demoman gives up his sticky bombs for the Chargin' Targe.vocab said:

MW2 didn't do it for me on the pc, ps3, or 360; and since the pc is my primary gaming platform MW2 just has too much competition from other games and better communities for me anyway. I'm getting more than enough out of Bad Company 2 and as others have stated TF2 is still the creme de la creme.
