I went to my friends 18th and played MW2 - my thoughts:
- Fun campaign, but as with MW1 it was inexcusably short. Try learning from Bioware or Valve.
- Not having lean was a pain, why take out something that has been around for a decade?
- The pc version looks quite a bit nicer than on 360 (I played both)
- The pc port was a bit lacking with graphical customisability... okay, very.
- The new multiplayer maps (imo) are a good improvement over MW1s...but:
- 9v9 is too small.
- No way am I paying £45 for this game. And because Activision are money-grabbing bastards they won't lower the price for years (like MW1) so looks like i'm skipping the COD games for a while.
- Review websites are universally fanbois. I'm sorry, I love Call of Duty, but I would /not/ give it a 9.4 which is a 0.2 increase on MW1 which it definitely doesn't deserve. 9.4 - really? It's almost as bad as GTAIV. Ugh.
tl;dr
activision/infinity ward failed imo, but i'll have fun at social gatherings with it.
