Not For Hardcore Gamers

User Rating: 7.5 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PS3
Casual gamers will love this game, mostly because it requires no skill and there are a ton of gimmicks to keep them amused. But hardcore gamers as well as die hard fans of the first Modern Warfare will most likely despise this game. This review will mostly cover the MP, because that's all that matters to hardcore & competitive players.

The first problem, and the biggest problem is the HORRIBLE health system. There is not enough health. Because of this, you will find yourself getting killed over and over again without any time to react. To win at this game, you need to be in the right place at the right time, which is a complete matter of LUCK.

The second problem is you can't hear the footsteps anymore. To hear footsteps, you need to use a perk. In case Infinity Ward forgot, the footstep feature was one of the most important features from the first game. Now people will sneak behind you and kill you instantly (because there is no health), AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

My final problem is the maps SUCK. They really do suck. I'm fairly confident Scrap Yard is possibly the WORST level ever designed. You will CONSTANTLY be killed from behind by random spawns.

Because of the health system, horrible maps, and no footstep sounds, everyone just camps. That is really the only way to win, just camp. When you see a guy, pull your trigger and he is dead INSTANTLY with no time to even react. That is Modern Warfare 2, a campers n00b paradise. Once again, this game is for casual gamers. But hardcore gamers will want to stick with the Halo series on the Xbox, Killzone 2 & Uncharted on the PS3, and the PC users should go play what ever they play.

All in all, it's an EXTREMELY overrated game that I fully regret buying.
