i would give this game an 8 or 8.5 honestly.
these users must be really disappointed because although the single player is not bad, the multi is pretty good (as usual).

mehh....whatever!!

Which users are you talking about exactly.

If you are referring to those 5/10s from the metacritic website, and a few other sources, those are admittedly from the PC fans signing the anti MW2 petition mostly ran by bots. In fact, even the shittiest games have user-reviews in the 6-10 range due, as long as there isn't a faction attempting to lowers those reviews in protest. A bad metacritic user-review average with no faux entries would be around an 8. Not a 5. That's obviously tampering. :P I hope you are referring to a few cherrypicked user reviews, and not those numbers. :P

As far as people being dissapointed...this is one of the biggest games of all time, and one of the most hyped. It got amazing review scores, but like all popular games there will be a subculture designed to bash and discredit it, and this forum along with a few others, is their only outlet, so you won't get a fair sample. They tend to be more vocal.

Rest assured that you ARE in the minority of gamers that will consider themselves dissapointed in this game. The vast majority of the public are mind-numbed drones who will think any game that is actually good, is the second coming of god, and this game will live on in infamy through their praises.

The game itself is good, the graphics are fine(which seem to be the focus of your thread) but it isn't god incarnate, I don't know what you were expecting.

 

Not gonna lie. Pirated the game, feels about as much of the same single-player, if not a little meh after CoD4's. Also since I'd give it negative points fo multiplyer it falls somewhee in the 3-5 category, out of 10 of course.

I've played just over 3 hours online today and I wasn't amazed by the graphics, but they were certainly very good and a big improvement over CoD4 graphics.

I think this game is great and lives up to the hype, but does not surpass the hype. I give it a 9.3

On metacritics, MW2 rivals Uncharted 2, LittleBigPlanet, and GTA4.... which is absurd. This game is above average, but not one of the best. The engine feels dated, and the graphics are very good but not excellent.


gosh I awed myself with gamecube graphics most of the time... I also saw the cod4 trailer and I think is a 10 in graphics...

I saw the trailers for all the special and hyped games and I keep saying to myself (this is a 10.5 in graphics)... I should start buying ps3 games so I dont have to explode... with these new engines and whatnot... for the next generation so I dont get lost with (whats good or whats bad)

Believe me, these graphics are great. This guy is upset because he thought they were going to raise the bar above Uncharted 2. Here's a good thing to remember. When IGN gives your graphics a 10/10, they're pretty good, no matter what anyone on a forum says. They are usually just people who were out to discredit the game before it was even release, fanboys of competing games, or people with unrealistic expectations.

As far as that goes, MW1's graphics are still pretty damn impressive on consoles, don't let people fool you. There are really only about 25 games this gen that have surpassed it at my count, and even then, not by much until relatively recently.

How come you never told me you were a pirate when you argued that piracy was the same thing as renting games, and I asked you if you were defending it out of personal justifications of your own piracy?

I don't care how justified you feel in doing so, you are a leech to this industry, and a pirate, and I don't like it. Next time a game I don't like is released, I should ironically pirate it just to give it a biased review based on my love for a platform that I feel it has insulted by existing.

I infact downloaded it 6 times. Also you are just as big of aleech as I am, if not a greedier one considering you get money out of soomeone else's work.

Also I'm grading the game, it's got a single-player worse than CoD4 and absolutely horrendous and shitty multiplayer. Why does it deserve anythign above a 5?

Not disappointed. Probably the best FPS of all time.

You realize that with this, you'll never win again in a pro-PC argument against me. Some secrets should be best kept to ones-self.

That said, I'll let you bask in your passive-agressivism over your conquering and giving us your premetitatedly low review score of MW2, knowing that the MW2 battle is but a temporary one and ours is eternal.

Anyway, I don't think as many PC fans will pirate it. I think they are disgusted with the game, and wouldn't even play if for free. I think they'll parrot the negative comments from IGN abou the SP in a half-hearted attempt to marginalize the game, but I think they'll fauxly confess to a crime they did not commit, just to vent about the game and gain some form of retalliation with the twisted logic that claiming piracy over the game is somehow a defeat to the developer, when ironically, they would have only actually pirated it if they thought it was going to be great.

Forgive my spelling, I'm too lazy to spellcheck it.

Not disappointed, but the game feels more like an expansion pack than a true sequel.
