The game is hated on because people seriously arn't that great at it. People claim you can only be good if you camp, yet a more "strategic" and highly acclaimed game like Bad Company 2 has more campers than a weekend at boyscout camp.
People say imbalance in weapons, which is present in almost every online shooter, and people will rage-type auto-aim, when it's available to EVERYONE, and in no way gives any one player a better edge than another. The real reason people hate MW2: People arn't that good at it, or need to learn to play the game differently. Don't say camping in a game is boring, and camp the whole match. Don't say run n' gun is boring, and run n' gun the whole way.With so many perks/weapons/attachments, choose the way YOU like to play, and make it work.

You know, the whole "people hate it because they aren't that good at it" argument is about as obnoxious as one can possibly get.There are people who hate on MW2 because they aren't good at it..but it may not be fair to say that's the only reason. There are people who aren't so good and still love to play too.
What happens when players who had 2.0+ K/D ratios state that they hate it? Guess what buddy, I'm one of 'em. Or I was, as I haven't touched it in months. There is a blatant over-emphasis on killstreaks, and some of them are so woefully overpowered that it makes me weep. The chopper gunner in particular is guilty of this. You say I need to use the Stinger missile addon.
I have a 2.0+ k/d ratio and I play the game every day almost :). There is a huge emphasis on killstreak but they aren't "over-powered" (there is a new "bare bones" game play list that takes them out. Black Ops will have it too, but I think Treyarch took out perks as well)... I was playing a free-for-all match this morning and a guy took out my chopper gunner with one Stinger shot...he wasn't even using Cold Blooded. I do the same all the time. For AC-130s it takes teamwork...one player has to distract the flares, then another shoots right after to destroy the plane :).
Well, when one requires a WHOLE INVENTORY slot to counter a single perk, you know something is wrong.
You get 5 custom cIass slots from the start (you get more when you prestige, I have 9 slots right now). Is it hard to dedicate one slot with the Stinger as a secondary weapon? You can still have a M16 for your primary weapon on that slot! Besides...mixing and matching different perks and equipment can be tactical in a way. Do you ever change your specs during a game in Bad Company 2? I do! You have to adjust sometimes :).
Camping in BC2 doesn't land you game-killing tacticul nukes, so it's nowhere near as much of an issue in BC2, despite it's significant presence. Don't even get me started on the lameness that is Commando and Cold Blooded. Some people hate MW2 because they genuinely think it sucks, not because they're bad at it. Speak for yourself, and not for others.
If someone is camping in MW2, you can see where they are with the killcam. And team mates can tell each other too and try to take him out. I'm gonna tell you the truth :)... no one has ever gotten a legitimate nuke while i was on the other team. I find them and take them out or their killstreaks out. I'm just one person, imagine if the whole team is aware of it, along with the objectives in the game mode!
Why is Cold Blooded lame? Its a perfect counter to the "overpowred" killstreaks (and thermal scope). It hides you from them if they're computer controlled and gives you an advantage against a chopper gunner... I already talked about how Commando is lame.
My words are in bold...and If you can.. please read my other posts in the thread :). I like having conversations about this game with people :P.
