I'm going to admit, it was a great game, but MP ended up breaking for a few months because of the chronic glitch exploits. The problem was, IW never gave a rat's behind to fix the problem immediately. Noob-Tubes were also somewhat of a nuisance, but I'd rather not complain about it.

Nevertheless, it was a special installment because, at that time, COD began innovating into what we know today-- customizable killsteaks, unique features, and tons of explosions.
