Just finished the campaign. All I can say is wow. This game seems more like a film, where you get emotionally involved. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but the huge twist was totally unexpected for me. And the final chase at the end was epic, and the ending was very satisfying.
Got a tip for us?

Finished the campaign on Regular last night, wished it was longer! Very good story telling though.
Going to try some MP today and see how that goes

And now you have just told everyone to expect a twist at the end, thereby stealing some of the 'unexpected' enjoyment from them.
The whole point of a spoil is that nothing is revealed.

Yea I never got that either. It's second only to actually giving the spoiler away
. Ah well some people just have no tact. Me included.

Well its not much of a spoiler...we all knew Gordon Freeman would jump out and save the world from the terrorist...no big deal.
I'm actually liking the multiplayer this time around..I wasn't fond of the first one but this one is growing on me.
Bless
I'm only at level 14 in the multiplayer mode, but given the recurrent lag issues, recurrent "host migration" problems, and potty-mouth 12 year-olds that can't be kicked, IWNet is pretty much as bad as I feared it might be. Definite step backward in PC gaming. I recommend skipping MW2 if you're interested in multiplayer gaming.
Unfortunately I have to agree, the idiot 12 year old ruin it for everyone... Also the people who play it 48 hours straight don't make it too fun either...
I think if they could also fix the lagging issues and maybe increase the campaigns or Spec Ops it would be far better that what it currently is...
I just hit level 11 and aside from the random person in the lobby saying "skip skip skip skip" I barely hear a peep from anybody. I haven't had any lag issues either or had a host migration. I meant to stop playing 1 1/2 hours ago... *sigh*
My cousin and I have already completed all the Spec Ops on Veteran.
Fun and challenging.
High Explosive is probably the hardest one, but very satisfying when you can complete it.

I suppose it's only a matter of time before the PC version is hacked and private dedicated servers start showing up around the internet. Ars Technica implies that they are already seeing it on various torrent sites.
I have read that people are using VPN to hold "LAN" games which is basically a private server... the only thing is people still want custom maps and settings.
Not that I personally care.

I totally agree. 12-year old kids shouldn't even play this! I hate when they "talk" on headsets.. I agree with you on people who have no life other than MW2 too.
One thing that annoys me a lot is CAMPERS. There are simply too many of them. When I got this I played it like CoD4 so run&gun + pray&spray which of course, wasn't a good idea because campers killed me all the time. So, now I have to camp as well which is IMO ridiculous
I bought it yesterday, so went back to play CoD:MW again, just to refresh the storyline in my mind. Surprisingly, even on the second-hardest difficulty, I played through in about 6 hours; without even rushing through it. Seemed to take me a lot longer the first time.
Hope MW2 is a bit longer!
Beat MW2 my first way through on Hardcore. It was pretty difficult at times.
Im a bit dissapointed in the ending, but only because I didnt want it to end period.
Spoilerish I suppose in White ---> I fear we must be weary of the Russian.

I must be one of the few here who hasn't bought it yet. I'm not sure if I will, I have MW & World@War and have not completed either, so Im not sure its worth adding another COD game to that unfinished collection.
I'm playing through on Veteran at the moment, about 1/2 way through (I've done it on Regular, but yawn). I'm actually not enjoying this as much as I did on Regular, simply because it is now a case of "learn where the enemies are, so when you respawn a few steps back, you can shoot them easier" - some sections I can sail through without dying for ages, and then others (looking at you, favelas) I just have to keep re-doing and getting a little further every time until I know where I'm going to find the scripted bad guys.
Regular on the other hand, kept me going - I wasn't dying constantly, and as such the AI had a chance to do fun things and ambush me.

Update... actually I just finished Modern Warfare (first) and it only took me a year or so
Still probably wont get sequel at the moment, ill wait until its going cheap online or available second hand.

might be waiting a while as cod 4 still costs quite a bit

Since when do you care about beating a game before buying a new one?

You know me Ed.. Normally never....
However I seem to have acquired a lot of shooters over past 12 months and its getting ridiculous, and the fact that most remain unplayed after 20% of gameplay tells me that maybe I should be more selective about shooters going forward otherwise it's just a waste of money.
Look at my rant on the bad company 2 thread, I'm with you on this one. KZ2 was the last shooter I really enjoyed. MW1 actually had a much better story, MW2's story is really lacking this time around. I honestly think they rushed the game, and it shows in many places.
