Gameplanet: Modern Warfare 2 PC Review

Gameplanet writes: "Modern Warfare 2 for PC is a console-focused game that fails to reach the lofty standards set by its predecessor. Matchmaking is as woeful as you would expect, and the campaign mode is too short and plays like it was designed by a committee. The Special Ops mode fails to lift the uniform score of this game to anything worthy of remembrance."

I'm glad the PC reviewers don't fall for Activision's sh1t.

snipermk05306d ago

I'm with ya buddy. Tried out the game from a friends place who got it for the PC and it is laggy as hell !!!

Pandamobile5306d ago

Same. I played a couple games at my buddy's house and the lowest ping I had was 120 ms. One game was up to 165 and was pretty unplayable.

nycredude5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

Although I played the Ps3 version of this game I completely agree with this pc review. This game is 110% complete overhyped BS!! 5 hour campaign with pretty much no story, last gen tech and graphics, gimped multiplayer. Seriously it so damn obviously all the reviewers are drinking activision coolaid! WTF! It IS a good game and IMO it probably deserves an 8-8.5 but damn despite all the explosions I got bored as hell and halfway through i was thinking about trading it in already. The broken online just cemented my decision. This will be the last COD game I ever purchase.

BTW I know I will get crap from n4g members for this but This game can't hold a candle to Killzone 2, let alone Uncharted 2. If this game ends up averaging the same as Uncharted 2 then it's a slap in the face to Naughtydog, who in less time created a way more polished game that looks and feels like a whole generation leap compared to this crap! MW2 has got no soul, no charm. All brauns and no brains!

MajestieBeast5306d ago

wow 120ms on a pc game thats insane.

sbstncstllo5306d ago

I know, I was getting 170ms earlier with a 12Mbps connection.

theEnemy5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

I've been playing mainly with around 100ms ping ang it was great.

-IW.

edwineverready5306d ago

I respect the pc community for telling the truth and not just accepting mediocracy and lazy devs. Not even talking about how they got shafted on the whole p2p thing.

Pandamobile5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

I'm sure the PC Gamer magazines will sh1t a brick. I doubt PC Gamer US will give it higher than a 70.

-DeathWraith-5306d ago

I'm glad to see reviewers giving this game the real score it deserves, and having guts not to fall in to its hype!

Digitaldude5306d ago

What the hell. This reviewer disses the PC version but also states neutral spects.

Downs
The campaign storyline borders on incomprehensibility.Audio is often inappropriate and intrusive. Shock value of airport scene questionable. Most of the firefights are too busy and cheap deaths abound. It's too expensive.

All that stuffs on the console as well but it didnt add that in the console review.
WTF.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G285d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade284d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality284d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator283d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G284d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85285d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo285d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg285d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast284d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
