The suits have spoken, along with the media, and a bunch of original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans. The word is that you MUST buy Modern Warfare 2, day one. Well, unless you are upset at some features missing, such as dedicated servers and a few other things:

That is said to be understood, and outrage justified. However, I want to look at the game itself, and wonder why. I see the following:
1. If the game is just a great single player experience, why not just rent the game, and play through it? Then wait for later and pick it up, if I want to own it.
2. If the game is merely some tweaks to the basic game, why not do that as a patch or add-on?
3. Does the game add any new features that are significant? Do we get a hoard/zombie mode? Is anything added to make the single player experience more replayable, like adding bots, and allowing single player grinding to level up RPG style?
4. Graphics have been improved? I thought the original was good. Not sure what is being driven at here as an improvement, and why it matters.
In short, why get MW2 instead of just reacquiring the original COD4:MW?
