This game is amazing in almost every area, but it really let me down when I discovered how limited 2 player is. There is no two player campaign, for whatever reason, and not more than 1 person on a system can play online at a time. Overall, this is a great game with a great storyline and good 1 player online play, and I would recommend it. Just don't expect to have your buddies over for some online play on the same system.
What's great about it: Campaign is amazing, special ops are fun
What's not so great: No multiplayer campaign, no Multiplayer online

MW2 is at the top of my three favorite games. The other two are very close being Forza 3 and Halo 3 ODST. I highly recommend this game for those who are mature enough to know the difference between reality and fiction. Best FPS (first person shooter) to ever hit a console.
What's great about it: Great Single Player story and experience. Special Ops are fun and challenging. Multiplayer is the best!
What's not so great: there is nothing not great about this game.

I've never had this much fun in a video game ever. The single player is short but the Multiplayer makes up for it easily. Single Player is like 6hrs long but you will put days on end in Multiplayer. It's a must have!
What's great about it: It never gets old. The online is great.
What's not so great: Single player is short but who really cares when you have the greatest online of all times.

Let's get this straight, THIS IS A MUST BUY GAME HANDS DOWN. Online multiplayer is some of the best gaming I have ever experienced and the same perks and unlocks are available for local play which is good for people that don't have xbox Live. The campaign left me disappointed but was a blast to play. I would have liked a story line like there was in CoD4 but i'm not going to complain too much because it was still fun to play. Spec Ops is a blast to play as well. It's great to grab a buddy and play through Spec Ops for hours. It requires a lot of communication between teammates which can be half the fun because it makes you feel like you are actually on the battlefield. I highly recommend this game to any FPS fan and it will consume your life for far too many hours but they are hours you will get great enjoyment from.
What's great about it: Online multiplayer is ridiculously fun
What's not so great: Campaign jumps around too much and does not have a cohesive story

As with all of the earlier Call of Duty games, the campaign is an intense,heartpounding experience all the way through. Modern Warfare 2 campaign also seems to give the player many more of those epic cliffhanger moments (literally in one instance). Veteran mode seemed to be slighlty easier than the first Modern Warfare and,thankfully, a lot less frustrating than the World at War campaign on veteran. Special Ops,the new co-op mode, is a nice addition. Though I would say it falls short of what it could have been,especially since the campaign cannot be played on co-op, there is still plenty of satisfaction in playing and completing it. The online multiplayer setup is amazing,in that there is so much new stuff, such as new perks,choosing your own killstreak rewards,a lot more attachments, and a throwing knife. There is a server problem which may cause "subtle" lag for some people. What I mean by this is that many times you may die in what seems like an impossible way and assume maybe someone is cheating,but when observing the killcam it seems like the other player is several seconds ahead of you in the game.(For example: you are about to round a corner,but haven't yet,and then suddenly die through the wall,then watch the killcam to see yourself actually round the corner and stay in the open for a couple of seconds. If you can change your NAT type to open,then these occurrences don't happen nearly as often,I would even say rarely.For those that cannot change their NAT type,there is Team Deathmatch Express,which will pair the player with others that share a similar connection.The downside of this is that you are limited to one gametype and you must endure one of the worst ideas in gaming history: in order to play half of the gametypes,including hardcore and regular deathmatch, you cannot be in party chat.In fact if you are,a menu will pop up prompting you to switch to game chat. If you decline you cannot play that game type.Overall the game is great,definitely worth buying,but do not be surprised if you encounter strange happenings in multiplayer.
What's great about it: The campaign is incredible. It is filled with even more insanely epic parts than the previous Call of Duty games.
What's not so great: There was no co-op for the campaign and the multiplayer servers seem to have a problem.

The game is great EXCEPT for the new way you have to connect w/ other players. The fact that you HAVE to be on game chat is horrible. The whole new style of connecting to other players is horrible, it takes WAY to long.
What's great about it: more maps, bigger maps, more challenges and weapons
