Modern Warfare 2 started out innocently enough. Infinity Ward had an established track record of top-notch game releases throughout the years; backed by a copious amount of funds from Activision, MW2 sustains the trend by supplying riveting gameplay and epic battles.
Unfortunately, the game's dire reception by the gaming community (more specifically, those who look beyond getting their blood-spattered jollies from an FPS) practically soured Infinity Ward's reputation overnight. With the PC version of the game left in shambles due to rampant glitches, hackers and the lack of dedicated server support, gamers vented their anger by downranking MW2 through various review websites such as Metacritic. The savage voracity of both fans and haters alike bespeaks of the remarkable duality the game has brought to the industry.
