well i played this, i am currently boycotting so i played a friends copy, heres what i think of this direct console port of a game.
single player is fun.. very very short about 5 hours of gameplay, but its fun, lots of action, basically its like modern warfare 1 with a few tweaks and such. the gameplay generally wasn't too groundbreaking, lot like any other cod game nothing fantastically unique or amazing to warrant the game being 5 hours, but ya single player was generally not worth the price of 60-90$ depending on region of sale, not even close, $29.99 at best.
online play.. where do i begin, terrible.. host advantage means the equivalent to a cheater being in every game, no dedicated servers which means every match is usually in most cases 6vs6 players MAX on someones little home line+box instead of the large 32+ players were used to playing with on dedicated linux boxes build and run for the purpose of running online games stably and well. no maps or mods allowed unless you wanna BUY them from IW which is a first in gaming history due to the gaming companies greed so otherwise u buy the maps and mods which makes the game eventually cost well over 100$ or you play the same maps and game types that came with the game over and over. very little hack protection since they ported it so quickly from console they didn't even bother to add much hack protection. no server moderation or rules since there are no longer servers lol.
but ya, i think you all get the point, and believe it or not I've just scratched the surface, hope I've saved you a few dollars, and if you want to fight to protect the quality of games and the value of your purchase then boycott MW2 with all the gamers and all the clans, and tell your friends because if we allow them to do this then this will just be the beginning.
