1.0 out of five stars
Disappointing,

The perks of purchasing the PC variant as indicated by Infinity Ward IW:

1. Text chatting! Now you may be able to text chat to your buddies in game while online, what great innovation!

2. Adjustable graphics setting gotta give them points for adding that feature, while console users are stuck with their 720/1080 resolution, you may be able to max it up all the way based on your hardware! Amazing stuff.Although every game has had this feature since the beginning of PC gaming.

3. The capability to use your mouse and keyboard! Now you may be able to unplug your xbox controller and use your computer accessories for a much more correct FPS experience!

4. You will have a great smooth time connecting to IWNet, its so perfect, it will give you XBox Live error messages!

Now, the negatives:

1. You are paying more for an inferior product. $60 vs $50. The consoles have a valid excuse for charging more $10.00 goes to the console maker Sony or Microsoft, Activision is just being greedy here, really quite unacceptable, particularly in today’s economy.

2. Dedicated servers removed do not get me started, I am sure you have heard of the petition which is nearing 200,000 signatures to re include dedicated servers. We are left with a awful online experience. I played the 1st Modern Warfare MW on the PS3 which had peer to peer online play and it was disastrous. Expect drop outs and poor performance. The host of the game will generally have the advantage because they have the better latency.

3. No mods. This is surprising because so many other liked games were developed from mods as well as Counterstrike, Team fortress two and Left four Dead. The only reason I can think of why IW/Activision could want to do such a thing could be to charge for content afterward on. I remember paying for three maps for the 1st MW and to tell you the truth, it really was not worth it.

4. Steam obliged. When you install the game you’re obliged to install the Steam platform and link it to an e mail address, and your Steam username. This makes reselling the game beside impossible.

5. Feels and plays more like a Modern Warfare 1.5 then a Modern Warfare 2.0, the graphics are alright for todays standard, but I expected many more from IW for a two year development cycle.

6. Short single player. Since they have gimped the multiplayer part, and the single player can about be finished in 6 7 hours, I propose you rent this on the console if you have one.

7. Multiplayer only lets nine vs nine 18 player matches. MW1 lets up to 64 does more mean more enjoyable? No, not essentially, but at least there’s choice and server admins were able to set it to their liking.

Infinity Ward have really let their fans down. The multi player made the original spectacular, with the elimination of dedicated servers, competitive and just play is dead.

Business schools should take note because this could make a great case study on how a company ruined one of the most anticipated entertainment product in such a short total of time. MW2 was literally a license to print money for Activison/IW. With such a awful management choice, reinstating dedicated servers will be the only hope to redeem themselves in the eyes of their buyers but I think this fiasco won’t be easily forgotten.

I propose you all save your money and get Battlefield Bad Company two instead, the producers have said they’ll be behind dedicated servers. The beta should be out for all systems soon, and the game will be releasing in March.

Update 11/18/09

Theres hope yet! Hackers released a patch so you may be able to start/join a dedicated server, its disgusting that this has to come from the underground scene and not Activision/IW. It looks that the hacked copies “freely” available over the Internet is the superior variant.

Hackers have also found hidden modes via the console world Thermonuclear War, One Flag CTF and VIP mode future downloadable content already in the game? How low you have fallen Activision/IW.

DO NOT BUY!,

don’t purchase this game. It’s a total waste of your hard earned money. Just read many of the reviews and you’ll see this is nothing more than a gimped console port. Everything that makes this game a PC game is missing.

I could recommend waiting for Battlefield Bad Company two for the PC instead. It keeps most of what is still desirable in a PC game.

Here is a break down of the differences between Call of responsibility four Modern Warfare and Call of responsibility Modern Warfare 2. Take notice that nearly everything is a downgrade for a higher price.

I want a divorce.,
November 10, 2009

Fun:1.0 out of five stars&nbsp,

When Call of responsibility arrived on the PC scene, we were given an acute World War two 1st person shooter that blew away all other alike shooters at that time. For once, Medal of Honor had been paired and beaten at own game. The sequel to Call of responsibility, United Offensive, brought one of the best multiplayer World War two experiences ever seen in a game to the PC platform. Both titles were only

On PC, I could like to emphasize.

Then came Call of responsibility two and the Xbox 360. Since that point in time, Call of responsibility on PC never been the same. We were handed a game that looked better than the original but was missing in multiplayer content and had minimally improved single player. By the time the developers had stuck a “3″ until the end of the title, the PC platform was nowhere to be found. Totally abandoned. Left to dry.

But PC gamers were thrown a couple bones with the releases of Call of responsibility 4: Modern Warfare and the last PC Call of responsibility game, World at War. , we had the games back on our platform. They were not the best in the world, but they were hard experiences all around. Again, the single player had dimwitted respawning A.I. Foes and did little to give us an groundbreaking experience, but the multiplayer in each games provided hard, replay value packed shooting that could hardly be looked down upon.

And now, here we’re again, going through rough times. She and I just are not making ends meet anymore, if you know what I mean. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare two is a complete shame to the PC platform. Yes, unlike some number of years ago in the case of Call of responsibility 3, we really have a Call of responsibility game on our platform and for that we possibly should be grateful, but with that being said, it is hard to deal with what exactly is happening here. There are so many negative points bordering Modern Warfare 2, I could most likely be sprouting grey hairs on my head by the time I has been finished pointing out each of them. Instead, I will get directly to the points. And there are many of them, so bare with me.

What should usually be a $50 game at launch is $60. , we are being charged as much as the console kids for this game. What should usually be a PC optimized port with support for dedicated servers, mods to change player limitations and gameplay experiences, and more, is instead one in which we dont have dedicated servers, no modification tools, no capability to extend the maximum total of players in a server, no capability to record demos for the sake of footage and server moderation and governance, and no distinctive PC features other than mouse control, text chat, and the capability to change graphical alternatives. Yes, most of which were present in Wolfenstein 3D in 1992. And now, the icing on the cake: When we are not struggling to play the online part of the game while leeching off another bum’s connection, we can instead feast on a handful of hours, rinse & repeat single player experience that features little to no replay value caused by its linear, scripted gameplay.

When it is all said and done, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare two is the last straw for us PC gamers. We deserve more, because Call of responsibility originated on our platform and if not for us, Modern Warfare two could not exist today. The heart and soul of Call of responsibility should still remain implanted in PCs all over the world, but instead Infinity Ward has taken the path of ignorance and downright disrespect towards those who helped make their franchise possible. For these deeds, they can shove their money being horded from console gamers where the sun does not shine.

I want a divorce.
