Modern Warfare 2 was an unnecessary sequel as the story had resolved itself in CoD4. But the single-player was enjoyable nonetheless. TheModern Warfare 2 was an unnecessary sequel as the story had resolved itself in CoD4. But the single-player was enjoyable nonetheless. The graphics are very good, and the game didn't have any performance issues. As for the game's infamous multi-player mode, the weapons were unbalanced and every now and again you'd run into a hacker or a modded lobby. The multi-player was hugely addictive, it was similar to the one in CoD4, but for some odd reason it was just so much more fun. The maps are fantastic and it was great fun running around with a sniper rifle trying to quick-scope people. Theres also tons of easter eggs in this game of little hiding spots and ways to get on top of maps like on the map 'Karachi' and 'High-rise' there are little ways to get onto roofs that might not have noticed. Overall the game could be frustrating at times and the guns unbalanced, this game was just incredible fun to play and I honestly don't know why.

The game is the best in the CoD franchise yet... or it could have been with Dedicated Servers. I have two complaints with this game. 1. NoThe game is the best in the CoD franchise yet... or it could have been with Dedicated Servers. I have two complaints with this game. 1. No dedicated Servers -> this led to hackers, glitchers, booster, racists etc etc with no ability to control it. Not to mention lag, rage quitters, and lost games due to connection loss. 2. No counter to explosives. Every CoD has had a viable counter to explosives, now we have a game where explosives are super easy to use and in abundance (scavenger, OMA) and we only have Blast Shield!? Blast Shield didn't work half the time and you had to sacrifice equipment to use it. Epic fail on IW's part. Other than those two complaints, the customization, perks, weapons, attachments, maps everything was pure win. Loved it.

I bought this game because several friends wanted to play something new online together. After we all be the single player and spec ops we I bought this game because several friends wanted to play something new online together. After we all be the single player and spec ops we went right into the MP. After about 30 minutes both friends uninstalled the game, but I'm still playing it somewhat here and there to get my moneys worth, but I've just about had enough of how terrible it is. Call of Duty:Medieval Warfare is FTL.

If your looking for an engrossing multiplayer experience that will give countless hours of fun look elsewhere. The single player is ok but If your looking for an engrossing multiplayer experience that will give countless hours of fun look elsewhere. The single player is ok but very short. I would call this game a day rental if PC users had that privledge.

Awesome game, The single player is short but so exhilarating, some excellent actions scenes and the story line is believable enough. Awesome game, The single player is short but so exhilarating, some excellent actions scenes and the story line is believable enough. Multiplayer is very good too(never had lag). I'm not sure if you're aware or not but there was a atttempted boycott of this game by mostly the clans and modders. If you look at the user ratings for l4d there is still only 1.5k user reviews for it, within a day this page had 2k. All the people who have rated it 0 are the guys who are trying to stop other people from buying it. I think ign should put up a little note saying "Some of the reviews may be part of an attempted boycott by pc gamers" It's not fair on everyone else that just cause they can't have their clan wars or mod the gravity lvl. People might miss out on a brilliant game because of the selfish actions of these boo-boys! Buy it!
