What's with all the hate? Yup, another Modern Warfare 2 post.

I really don't understand all the hate. I'm sick to death of people suddenly comparing MW2 to Uncharted 2. I mean, what the fupp is that all about?! Maybe it's because they were released quite close together. Or, they've both got... guns in them? I don't know, weird. Also, suddenly, alot of people are graphic/visual whores. MW2 looks fine for a game using oldish tech, stop your whining.

When has Call of Duty ever been anything more than just going around shooting? It's an old-skool FPS, it's not trying or pretending to be Half-Life 2 (Episode 2 being my favourite FPS ever created by the way). The story is certainly not very well told, but there are more than a few missions which are just pure FUN (isn't that what games are about) to play. The game gives you a real adrenaline rush.

The singleplayer on its own is an 8/10 from me. Modern Warfare 2 as a package, is an 9/10.

I think MW2 is fine the way it is.

While I've never heard anyone compare MW2 to Uncharted 2 yet, it sounds ridiculous that they are.

Seriously... completely different games

Too bad I'm forced to skip this one. Low cash flow and the lack of any interest outside of the 5 hour single player mode are preventing me from getting it.

@hazelnutman: I've been reading it all over the place about the comparison. MW2 is using a highly modified Quake 3 engine, and I suspect they can't get it looking any better than it currently does on the consoles. Regardless, it looks very nice anyway!

@Bioshockraptor: I agree.

I haven't played any of them, so I don't have an opinion. From what I know, and can imagine, the comparison between Uncharted and Call of Duty is so... surreal, that it's almost intriguing for me to try to find if there is any basis in that argument.

Can't wait to get MW2 this Saturday.
