Modern Warfare 2 has to be the Stupidest Game I've Ever Played.
I was just reflecting on the series when I realized how absolutely dumb it was that this game has a [i]94[/i] percent on Metacritic. I mean, I can respect others opinions, and if you like it I won't really hold it against you, but from a content point of view, it's just lacking so much.
What made this game so highly praised? The campaign was microscopic in length, the multiplayer was almost completely broken and the Spec Ops missions are the only thing with actual substance- and even then they're just side missions. Was it just people buying into the hype because of a trailer featuring lots of explosions and mainstream rap? Of course there's too many lurking variables to make any sort of legitimate conclusion, but... I don't know.
What about you guys? Best/worst CoD? Stupidest/least stupid game? Thoughts on MW2 as a whole?

Call of Duty 4 reinvigorated what had become a dull and lifeless FPS franchise. It was one of my favorite games back in 07 and I enjoyed it immensely. And then Modern Warfare 2 happened. MW2 was the game that single-handedly killed my interest in the series. The campaign was basically a Michael Bay movie on steroids and the multiplayer was a poorly balanced, easily-exploitable piece of monkey dung with some of the worst map design I've ever seen in a video game. I don't understand how it got the praise it did.
