Also, the false sense of reward like Viginti_Tres mentioned. I have to admit I was almost addicted to that for a while, but the whole thing just got frustrating. Its not like I was ever even doing badly, I was even getting better at the game, my k/d had been rising consistently over the last couple of months, getting juggernaught and (whatever that one is for highest k/d ratio) consistently, and getting massive bonuses from shooting down air support during the match.
Think I might go and get BC2, thanks Grift. Always been interested in Battlefield, never got around to playing it. :)

Suhweet!
As for those who really don't like the game but play is constantly I do find that odd, but to each there own.
But I will say anyone 8 months post launch never learned to deal with air weapons, well, that is just epic failure to learn the game. Period. No excuse to feel dominated against aircraft on a regular basis unless you refuse to adapt the way you move around and carry an AA secondary weapon.
But I hear people in every FPS, even the great ones, complain about the same very avoidable things as if it is the game that is broke. Clue: Some things are intended to be hard and to take certain preparation.

It's ironic that I have to say this, having begrudged what this game did to my favorite franchise, but get over it. If that's all it takes to get MW2 fan's collective panties in a bunch it's SAD. If I knew it was going to spawn an argument, I wouldn't have said anything, and I'm sorry I did.

TDM and equivalently 'Slayer' in Halo are popular because they're simple. One objective: kill those guys more than they kill you. They strip out any other higher level planning and tactics to just raw map movement and control and just killing ability.

But if you prefer it, more power to you. To each their own they say.

You're not going to sit there and tell me you like dying in a way you have no control over, are you?
Why the fuck do I have to defend my views so much? "oh, cearly you can't adapt" "oh you must just suck" Can any of you honestly say you've never encountered the problems I've mentioned (from either side of the coin)? Can you say you're completely happy with the balance in MW2? Can you say you're not a little upset that it managed to get out the door in the state it was in? Can you say this is a game you'll still play regularly in a year?
I mused to myself a few weeks ago, in the aftermath of a series of awful matches (no, I wasn't personally doing badly either) that MW2 plays like the Beta of a great game. And an early beta at that.

It just really lets me down how often I see people using the excuse when defending certain games, especially shooters. I have my fair share of gripes about MW2 and I don't play the game very often at all b/c of those annoying design issues, but I also think that it has become a trend to bash the game maybe more than it deserves simply b/c so many had such high expectations/hopes for the game. There are many shooters out there in far worse shape than MW2 that didn't get as much shit as this game. I think that aspect of the whole MW2 fiasco often gets lost in the shuffle, imo at least.
Say what you will about all the different balance issues etc... I still stand by the game having some of the most fun and responsive control schemes in a shooter of it's type. To what degree the game is "hardcore" I could give a fuck as I find that notion of "gaming pride" almost sad and pathetic, but in terms of just having fun, the game does a lot of things really well, it just causes a lot of undue frustration for a VERY large amount of fans. Whether that gripe is "valid" due to skill level is a bullshit argument I don't care for, but either way it seems this game gets an unfair serving from both sides of the coin, defending or attacking the game. IMO of course

That's not to say that there's no skill involved. When everyone is on equal footing, the game is obviously going to present more of a challenge. Call of Duty used to be a lot more honest, in that there weren't an awful lot of easy kills in the game initially. That all started to change in COD4. I was never really bothered by explosives and mines and whatnot in Battlefield--I think in part due to the heavy vehicles--but it's how the franchise changed that put me off of MW2. If you find that rewarding though, more power to you. I'm not offended by your opinion, and I don't think that it's completely without merit either. I just prefer something different.
A lot of the things I don't like about MW2 I don't like about BC2 or MoH either. But there are plenty of options out there. I don't really hold any particular grudge against MW2 any more. It is what it is, and there are too many other games out there to really care too much anymore. It's pointless to fight about it.
