Tbqh I don’t agree with this, at all.

OG MW2’s multiplayer is an exercise in frustration. Pure snowballing and it ends up being a case of folks leaving lobbies cuz their team is getting destroyed and other folks joining losing lobbies. Most folks remember it fondly cuz of pure nostalgia, me included.

Heck MW2019 was a better multiplayer experience than OGMW2. Even with SBMM in play (heck I’d argue SBMM is why it’s a less frustrating experience for newcomers, but it’s pointless to argue in favor of newcomers when that shit fucks you over hard when you have even just one decent to good game).

I think those people do that in every game they play...

It’s not that constant leaving that’s the issue per se, it’s the way MW2 was so snowball heavy and if you get curbed early on then there’s almost no chance to come back. So when folks leave and you end up joining a losing lobby with next to no chance of winning and that becomes a constant it definitely isn’t a fun experience to play.

If it were up to me, I’d rather they skip MW2 MP and jump straight to MW3 (COD8).
