GOTFY

Whaaaa? That's preposterous.

I've got a question for you guys - I don't own/haven't played the first Modern Warfare. Should I skip that one altogether and just get Modern Warfare 2? Or is there any reason to get both? Let me know, thanks.

MW 2 continues right after where the first one ends off.

So....for story wise you need both and MW before MW 2.

Whats the max players on ground war for this?

You should play the first simply because it is excellent.

The reviews have been very postive for this sequel. Metacritic currently have it at 96. It certainly deserves that score. Great game!

I heard the ported PC version is a replica of the Xbox version, priced at $60, no deidicated servers, or mod support, and that the max amount of people on a server is 18. Seems pretty dissapointing for the PC community.

For single player, yeah you'll need to play the 1st. If you're going to just play online multiplayer (which is what it's made for really) then it's not so essential. Still tremendous though. The online multiplayer levels on MW1 were perfect in terms of size and design. WaW, on the other hand, was pretty poor. Levels were far too big for the number of people in some types of matches.

Spoiler:
Am I the only one that's stunned that there's a level where you can mow down a large number of civilians with a machine gun?

Levels were fine for the PC version of the game. Unlike the consoles we can handle 50+ people on a battlefield.

Not really..maybe it wasn't as glorious as Modern Warfare, but I had a lot more fun with the replayability value of WaW.

Yes, we can. Why MW2 doesn't allow for that is beyond me. Dedicated servers should still be able to support 50+ players with little to no lagg.

And this is a Call of Duty game for crying out loud. Oh well, stories need major twists I guess.

I was actually surprised about that and is not that it was one or two people, it was like a hundred!

Anyways, I just beat it. Pretty excellent game. Too many twists. Money well spent! Im off to watch V and then bed. My eyes are red. I look like I have pink eye.

WaW > MW2 imo.

I am NOT going to pay $84(my countries currency) for a dumbed down pure console port , a short single player campaign and bad multiplayer.

Pay more for less? I'll stick to MW1 and WAW.

Sure i'm sure the SP is great, but is it worth that amount of money? I'll ber using that 84 bucks to get ME2's CE instead. At least i'm giving money to a company like bioware that respects both communities.

I just completed the Airport level.

Wow. Just wow.

This game looks very promising.

I shan't be playing multiplayer until I finish campaign mode.

I'm off to play some more levels.
