Unofficial Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 thread

I received a pm request for these and thought I'd share:

I've been considering buying the Moder Warfare 2 system bundle just to get the 250gb hard drive. Based on the comments in here, maybe I should keep the game if I do so. Glad to hear that everyone likes it.

Well, another campaign that ended too soon, but another campaign that kicked so much ass from start to finish that it's almost excusable (the ending QTE's are fucking awesome). It's clear Infinity Ward cleaned up the few issues with CoD4, between the glitchy and unfair checkpoints, to the seemingly infinite respawning enemies. This was also a tamer campaign overall, with, I think, fewer elongated firefights that should make playing on Veteran less of a chore. I can't help but be a little peeved at the repeated inclusion of "intel" collecting, however. Honestly, if the items you're collecting offer absolutely nothing towards the story or gameplay, don't even bother putting them in there (I will, of course, inevitably search for them all just to get the measly 20 achievement points).

Even though I knew that Moscow airport mission was going to be in the game, I was still taken aback by the whole thing. I could only bring myself to shoot the cops; I haven't played enough GTA to be heartless towards civilians.

I hope to jump into Spec Ops and the multi-player soon (might do Veteran first). I'm hearing overwhelmingly positive things about Spec Ops, and that's great. This game is the complete package, and is undoubtedly worth every cent.

Just finished the campaign tonight.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Honestly one of the most engrossing games I've ever played. There's a reason I took 1 night to beat MW1 and 2 nights to beat MW2.

NOT ONCE did I ever feel like I was just doing missions for the sake of doing missions. Every single mission felt like it was integral to the story and the variety is astounding. Sure it makes for a shorter campaign than nearly all other games out there, but it makes it insanely intense. Never have I felt as much rage and/or elation towards video game characters.

Now it's time to fire up multiplayer and kiss my social life goodbye.

Well, no, not really. See, with the banana, you have the choice to eat it soon after buying it, avoiding the rotting situation and enjoying some tasty food while it's fresh. The situation with Bat Country, on the other hand, is venting over an inevitability. It's more like "Death, taxes, and 12-year-olds overplaying Avenged Sevenfold songs online."

Beat the campaign on Regular last night and I'm now doing Spec Ops and online. Even though some missions are meh, I find beating the SpecOps missions on veteran even more rewarding than the campaign. I've got about 24 stars on it currently

But anyway, did anybody realize one MP map was from Cod3?

The chapter endgame was like something out of a James Bond movie and was ridiculous in the context of the game. Just throwin that out there.

Fun campaign overall though I didn't like the story. Enemy of my enemy is GAY on Veteran.

Campaign was incredible. Played the last half of it (at least) literally on the edge of my [futon] seat. Short, but oh-so-freaking sweet. MP's a blast as usual, haven't gotten around to Spec Ops yet. Got the Prestige Edition for the NVG's, and they're badass, even just for a trophy for my desk. Can't say enough good things about this game.

No wonder it sold 5 million copies the first day in North America and the UK...

Please keep spoilers to a minimum here. Some of us slower folks aren't done with campaign yet :p.

...But holy shit this is awesome.
