I've got to say that the CoD Franchise is pretty slick. I only played the first one, still deciding on the Modern 2...but from everything I've seen and heard, it is the game to get now.
Grats to Activision!

with all that money made they should have dedicated servers, the online which is the only good part of these games is very laggy at times, once bfbc or mag comes out ill be moving to one of those.
A game like warhawk puts cods online to shame unless you like lag or waiting for new host then cod is perfect.

Modern warfare 2 sucks, IW tried to make things too fancy, yet they left out all the good upgrades. If only they had made a new cod 4 with better graphics, more perks and more weapons. Instead they became the new Treyarch (even though WaW is probably better than mw2).

You need help, MW2 ownz, dont get me wrong, I loved cod4 and spent many hours ranking up, but it hasnt got the polished finish that mw2 has (and im not talking about the graphics).

COD MW2 is the best war game to date! i can think you only put this to wind us up, what good upgrades? you have just about everything you could ask for, a good single player game, great online and spec ops to test even the best gamers out there its a dream come true if COD MW had anything missing its been added to this fantastic game.

Upgrades as in detailed leaderboards (like WaW), local search function, realistic damage (e.g legs blown off) not just ridicuously overpowered rag doll and proper host searching.
The single player is good, but they went overboard in multiplayer. Like how you only get 1 claymore and that is in the same category as grenades. Most of mw2 is done well, but there are just a few things that destroy it.

Yes, but you get two noob tubesI wouldn't mind only having one if it was not in the same category as a grenade.

Yes, but you get two of the most hated items in the history of FPS's, noob tubes, and it doesn't even replace the equipment. I wouldn't mind only having one claymore if it wasn't in the same category as the grenade.

Claymore's suck, such a dissapointing way to die, I can respect a guy with quicker reactions who drills u quicker than u can drop them, same as being killed by a frag grenade, I am so glad they got rid of the 3 frag granades like in cod4, its far better when there is skill involved than a lucky grenade (wet work anyone!).
I do agree with chris4160, the damage should be more like cod5 with limbs blowing off etc.
And my last gripe with the game is the noob tube, such a 'no-skill kill' :-(

Instead of messing with proper equipment sets why bnot just have severs with limited grenades and servers with non limited grenades, surely they can make a sever run off the same set of machines that's able to balance out the bandwidth so there's more server bandwidth/slots for which ever people are playing more......

you could restrict perks or particular weapons that is why having no dedicated servers is a really big deal.
Martyrdom anyone.

Ya but having a automated setup where you have like 10000 slot severs are connected with each other and put out more bandwidth to whatever game type is having the most people being sent to, you prioritize the highest and lowest for best pings. Next to lowest and next higher to it get the worse pings while the middle stuff gets 2nd to 3rd best pings.
Well..they could build it like that...not saying they would.....haven forbid people host games on their own unit....
