I'd say it's superior except for:

1) That one single player mission: "No Russian"

2) Online multiplayer is a little unbalanced. At least with MW1 the most overpowered weapon (M16) was available from the get-go. This one it isn't available for a while AND the thermal scopes are ridiculously unbalanced. One of the best things about MW1 was camouflaging until you got close enough to the enemy sniper, now there is no fun/ability to do that with these thermal weapons. I can't believe how conservative they were in MW1 in terms of weapon choices and attachments (which therefore made it balanced) and how easily they are letting completely unbalanced things (like the thermal sight) into this game.

3) Online maps are less memorable. I hate how some of the maps are multi-tiered (Brazil maps) because it makes those levels non-accessible to newer people who aren't really sure about where you can go and what roofs you can scale and what they can see on them. At least with the first game it was basically areas that everyone can access and areas that only the pro's can get to (which was like 1 or 2 at most) because they've worked out their location. I like how these new maps have more detail put in them but it makes the game less user friendly. Also, the wasteland map is awful.

4) Killstreaks. Death streaks are awesome, and customisable kill streaks are awesome, but some of the killstreaks are way too overpowered. The first game they were more balanced because you knew that the worst thing that they could throw at you was 1 helicopter.. this one they've got all sorts of things and you can basically line up 3 killing killstreaks in a row, instead of the UAV, air strike and helicopter. (At least in the first game a killstreak weapon didn't completely mean gameover like it does with this game). At least they should have had a tier system (3 kills = choice of UAV, UAV jammer, Drop etc) and so people were forced to pick at least 1 non-deadly killstreak bonus and then 2 lethal ones..


Maybe I'm just venting because I haven't played much and haven't gotten good enough to dominate like I did in MW1, but I think those complaints will still stand at the end.
