User blog comment:Cpl. Wilding/IW leaving Call of Duty/@comment-3137455-20100118190220

"yeah, but EA created Medal of Honor. The new Medal of Honor, which is Modern Warfare, will wipe off the IW scum that they call Modern Warfare 2 off the shelves. Long live Treyarch, EA, and other good game makers and IW can die off, I wouldn't care one bit because they disappointed me TOO MUCH."

Amen my brother, amen. MW2 was a disappointment in so many ways, for example:


 * Early in production, they promised something along the lines of "constant patching to defeat exploits" - Yeah, that worked out SO well


 * The "shooter to end all shooters" did exactly that, by being so hyped up and pretended to be "god", when it was infact the video-game equivalent to the Government in the UK, as in, it promises so much, but delivers so little


 * The characters, oh god, the characters, all they were was "macho", and trying to be badass. Seriously, if you want to create likeable characters, don't put Keith David as a soldier, and don't use Craig Fairbrass TWICE IN A FUCKING ROW


 * The guns. Nice variety, shame most of them were either useless, unliked, or defeated by a better weapon. Seriously, the 1887 and M4A1 are so overused it's pathetic. Have you ever tried using the Striker, or maybe even the M16A4, seriously if you can get off your ass and PRACTISE you can use them as the real gun messiahs.


 * Its technical performance. Play this game on HD and then compare it to the likes of Dead Space and Far Cry 2. They both topple over MW2 in terms of graphics and gameplay


 * At last, the story. Seriosuly, IW, learn to get some decent fucking plot ideas and twists. For fucks sake, your only "twist" is a bullet to the head/chest. The ending was so fucking pathetic i nearly stabbed MYSELF in the eyesocket with the knife. Seriously, Shepherd just caame out with it as if he was saying "Boo! I'm the bad guy", in the worst scooby-doo style you could ever imagine, except with a .44, a hitler 'stache and a hat. Also, your "No Russian" was the worlds shittiest publicity stunt. The best part of the story was the TRAILER BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED. Oh yeah, and makarov, he's russian, kinda awesome, and has a cool hairstyle.
