Modern Warfare 2, do I need an introduction for it? I've seen tons of fanboy posts, and hater posts. Though, for me it's a very love hate thing.

Price: 59.99 (Yes, 10$ more than the normal PC title)
Pros: Simple (no complicated objectives), fast paced, noob friendly.
Cons: Unbalanced, No more servers, expensive DLC

Firstly, this game is proof Steam is taking over.

Ah, how I love you steam.




but seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to murder servers and only use direct connections? For PC gamers servers are like our digital homes. Jerks hang with the jerks, carebears hang with the carebears. It is a nice way to keep everyone, happy. I throughly enjoyed good Admins and good communities. Infinityward didn't.

Hey, this didn't stop me from playing! I was there at midnight foaming at the teeth. Now, for me, multiplayer is the only way to game. So I couldn't tell you jack about the single player elements other than people die. The graphics are supreme, the gameplay is smooth, and it comes free with steam!

Some sweet screenshots! (I like how all the ones online the guy is totally losing!)




Multiplayer on the other hand...

I was really dissapointed in the multiplayer. Honestly, the game feels like the staff sat at a big circle table and said "Hm, tubes are really not fun and unbalance the game what can we do to fix it? OH I know! We will just add in a ton of really cheap things to balance the unfun / fair tubes!" What a great idear infinityward. Now I know, sniper's actually use two automatic pistols, assault means run in like a ninja and knife the entire room, and campers are actually just guys who don't want to work with the team. They want their killstreaks so they can rain down on you with an AC130.

Since when was it a good idea to reward a player for kicking your ass so much that it isn't even fun?

Even lamer is care packages. It's like playing Mariokart, a guy gets a lucky lightning and zaps you as you jump a huge gap. Real cool.

The lack of servers didn't bother team LAN too much, due to the fact we are a lan group and "party play" was actually a pretty good idea. The only problem is, every and I mean EVERY time the host migrates and your playing 5 guys in the same room. One of you will drop. The good news for us though, is we usually host. Aparantly, hosts have a sweet latancy advantage!



The icon creation system is sweet. Except, what's up with all the 4/20 icons. Really? WOOH WOOH 420! I guess.

The game is fun, though my post clearly isn't saying it. One of the Team LAN members uninstalled it. Me, i'll play MW2 here and now, but not often. Sorry Call of Duty, you lost the spirit of PC gaming.
