Honestly? BC2 is a far better game.

I tried really, really, really hard to love MW2... I really did. I even spent six months on the Infinity Ward forums prior to release, eagerly anticipating the sequel to CoD4. November 10 came, and... I was terribly disappointed. Why? Atrocious balance issues, horrendous spawns, Commando (which, frankly, I think is bad enough that it requires mention outside of the terrible balancing), the questionable usefulness of virtually any other weapon class than assault rifles (again warrants note outside of balance), the constant, neverending, and debilitating killstreaks cluttering the skies, and one simple, solitary thing that stands out from all the others: it just... really isn't that much fun most of the time.

The single player was great, loved it to death. Spec Ops is a great mode, and I still hop on to play it with friends now and then. The multiplayer ranks among one of the biggest disappointments for me in a long time.

BC2 might not look as pretty, or have the same solely-infantry focus (not necessarily a bad thing, mind you), but it sounds better, plays better, has a much grander scope and at the end of the day is just more fun to play.
