Modern Warfare 2

LETS ALL DISCUSS PIRACY BECAUSE IT'S SUDDENLY OKAY IF THE GAME DOESN'T INCLUDE FEATURES I WANT.

Cracked could just mean no Steam. Doesn't mean you didn't buy it!

Or if you did buy it, I prefer cracked copies anyway because they typically aren't as bloated.

The game is good. Stop crying. If you don't like you are more than welcome to leave the thread.

They're also welcome to their own opinions and are allowed to present them within the confines of the rules.

Yes, the game is good, I get that, we all get that. That doesn't change the fact that PC users were fucked over so hard that they'll need to spend a few weeks rebuilding what has been lost. Either that or Infinity Ward could man up and apologize.

When dedicated server cracks come out and there are people playing on the dedis I'll go out and buy a copy of the game.

Until then... : pirateslife :

So far I'm liking it. Some pretty good action scenes that I felt were original

The airport massacre scene for one.

...My complaints so far is that, for the emotions I think they try to convey, it just seems too fast paced...

This, a thousand times. The emotional scenes are actually very well directed and intense, but a huge portion of the effect is lost due to the story being so fast paced, not enough time to get invested in characters etc.

It's short, but still one of the most intense single-player experiences of all time, and each encounter/minute of play seems carefully crafted. I will say it's too hard on Regular. Even my brother, who beat the previous game on Veteran, was complaining.

There were maybe 1 or 2 sequences where I was frustrated but otherwise it's very consistent with difficulty never being too easy or hard. Regular seemed exactly right difficulty wise.

I've got about 3 levels left though.

So from what I can gather, awesome gameplay, mediocre story, and the multiplayer, while fun when actually playing it, was implemented badly because IW is trying to make their own knockoff of LIVE.

i thought the story was pretty good

but thats partially because im a sucker for betrayals and plot twists

Yeah that's pretty much it.

At the risk of having you guys cut off my testicles, I got it for 360, as all my friends did the same (and this IW.Net bullshit didn't help.)

As compared to the 360 version of MW1, here are my first impressions, seperated into the "three pillars":

-Single Player is fun but lacking compared to CoD4. Story is hard to follow and rather senseless, character development is extremely poorly done the few times they try, etc.
-Spec Ops is a blast when you have a competent partner, but I wish there were more unique settings (it's all recylced from the Campaign, and even some of CoD4's Campaign.)
-Multiplayer is fucking awesome in every concievable way.

I'm gonna write a detailed review later for the hell of it, but there you go.

Also, I came when I saw Captain Price. Quite literally.
