Yeah sounds very Activision to me. Matchmaking for PC MW:s multiplayer never was for me (too twitchy), but damn, to take away such a fundamental part of PC multiplayer option and then charge extra 10 bucks for the product?! I was on the fence with this one wether i'd buy of just pirate it. Now the answers' clear as day.

I will add this to the front page. Thanks Maverick!

I wonder if Third person will be accessible in multiplayer or will it be exclusive to the single player modes?

Ironically, i believe that Activision will actually loose PC sales with this choice. I'm sure i'm not the only one who will pirate MW 2 for the surely excellent single player, and skip out on the multiplayer scene in regards to this foolishness.

Already finished the single player on my friend's X360... To tell you the gosh darn truth I wasn't really impressed (with the single player) in fact I was rather disappointed.

There were things in the game that I thought shouldn't really be in there like respawning enemies, and the atrocious grenade spamming, which were ironically enough were the things I hated in the first MW.

The story... There are spoilers so if you don't want to know, then don't read.
Spoiler
although having shock values felt rather "been there done that" with this game. People would probably call me an fool for saying that after the whole "betrayal" stuff that's in the game, but the way they presented it was rather cliched and used in so many video games that goes all the way back to System Shock 2.

I guess I felt like it reused too many elements from MW and didn't really forge it's own way...

::sigh:: ...it's more of what people wanted...shock/awe and guns, nothing beyond that.

Character development is none existent and I didn't really felt connected to any of the characters like I did with the first MW.

It's fun to play, but so was MW, but to me this iteration didn't have the same impact as the first. (In fact MW2 tried to use the same tactics and twists, but it quite frankly didn't work on me this time around.)

It's more MW, which is good for people who wanted just that...

Heck is a bummer to hear that... i know than this time around
Single player is just a add on to the main game which is the multiplayer...

But still that is not excuse to make a lame story.

Heck... this... is... a total pwnage on my ilusions for the game.

i think in FPS shooters the story isn't strong always and almost non-existence

so it's not a problem for me , what me worries me is the gameplay

I won't go as far as to call the story "lame". (In fact it's great compared to most FPS.)

But it's hard for me to not look back and compare the similarities to it's predecessor and not feel disappointed.

It's like watching SAW for the first time, and then watching SAW II. Although I still sort of get shocked with the scenes that are taking place in SAW II, my reaction is not "OMFG What just happened?!" it's... "Oh it's like that scene in SAW I." That is basically what happened to me with this game.

That's the wonders of the hype machine for you.

I agree, but as I stated above, the story is good by FPS standards, it's just that it fell short to expectations I had for it (EDIT ADDED: That were established by MW.) It is guaranteed that people would disagree with me about it, but that's just my personal opinion about it.

But the most disappointing thing I encountered in this game (SP) was the gameplay issue of infinite respawning cronies. ::shakes head::
But other than that everything about the gameplay is extremely solid and fun. As I stated before, it's more MW...and seriously, who can go wrong with that??

http://www.gametrailers.com/user-mov...rfare-2/334280

i will say it's fun to play but it's like what Maverick007 said it's more of MW nothing more

in other words there's no freshness in the game like MW had

Disappointed to hear that the SP is average but since I did love the first one, I'll probably enjoy this one too. Have you guys tried out the Spec Ops mode yet?
