Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Review
I'm sure that most of you have played the game Modern Warfare 2 in some way at one time. I'm sure you had a fun time, but you were most likely on the multiplayer. This is a huge game with probably one of the best multiplayers around. That does not mean that it is a perfect multiplayer, nor does it mean that it is always fun.
Not to be mean, but Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer is like a kid with acne. You know that he is nice and cool, but you can tell that it has some problems. The multiplayer is this kid with oxy pads trying to wipe away the acne that comes back. It is like using patches to fix problems, but new ones will always arise. I do love this multiplayer, but some time I feel like a nerd getting beat up by a big bully. It hurts, and it makes you mad.
First, the spawning system is not terrible, but it does have a lot of issues. With the complex engine on Modern Warfare 2, it is hard to create a spawn system on these maps. I give them a decent grade because most other spawn designers would do a worse job. This is partially due to the maps limiting spawn points with structures and natural obstructions. It is not that big of a deal, and you will get over it. You might be able to deal with it if you are not a half bad player.
The next issue is camping. This is a scapegoat if you are doing bad, but some of the time, it is an actual problem. "The campers can be anywhere and everywhere." is a quote by the YouTuber Chromebandit. He doesn't have a problem with it, and these people choose to sit in a corner and not have fun. My point is, play how you want to play because it is just a video game. Sometimes, you can't avoid camping with Demolition. There is one bomb site left, and where else could the other team go?
These are just two of some of the major problems, but another highly disputed ones is the killstreaks. They are said as being overpowered, but I personally believe they are not a big deal. The stinger is an easy kill for almost any killstreaks, and with coordination, you can take down ac AC-130 in about 20 seconds. That is all I have to say on this because this is really dependent of you and your team.
Another issue is the overpowering of weapons, but this again goes back to that it is your choice how to play, and you can't force them to change. Unless, they are completely ruining the game, then you can have fun. If they are, just leave and go into another lobby, or have fun with your friends in a private match.
I just wanted to discuss the issues, but this game is fun overall, and I totally love it. It really didn't matter to me if it won GOTY, but it wasn't really my choice. This game is great for having fun with your friends or rocking it in a lobby full of randoms. It was built great for having fun, and I hope that you guys have a fun time with it.
I would have to give this game 9 out of 10 stars because it is an overall good game and Infinity Ward is working to get it fixed.
