This game ruined the vidya industry but it's a legitimately fun game

Also, Microsoft is to blame too

Could MW2 be considered the last good first-person-shooter?

After it's immense success, everyone went ahead and copied what it did, and then copied whatever the later Call of Duty games did. This led to the saturation of FPS games, and now they're all fucking shit.

It killed the genre by being a good game.

It all started with the playstation. Games have been getting shallower and more cinematic since then

the only thing bad about mw2 was noobtubes, everything else was fine. if you complained about commando you're just shit

>>344965021
It was the exact same shit with WW2 games prior, and worse because those are marginally less interesting than modern war games. I'm glad the industry is shifting back towards futurism, it stomps both mediocre settings hands down.

>>344964902

The moment the B-tier studios fell and large publishers stopped investing in new, creative IPs and instead went with annual safe bets with barely any differenriation in-between.

That, and when budgets for modern games sky-rocketed.

It was a clusterfuck of maps that made spawn killing easy and OP weapons everywhere, but it was fun.
alterIWnet was even better with all the mods.

That's a good starting point

Especially when you consider the buzz surrounding it due to the infamous "airport scene".

Video games had been in the public eye for some time, but this was one of those rare times where moral outcry had the opposite effect and boosted the popularity.

It was the first cloud of shit in the perfect storm that is the modern industry.

Id like to think MW2 played a big part in the real cause of decline in the industry: the indie market. Because things started getting so formulaic, smaller markets started to form. At first it was harmless. After all, people had been making flash games for years, simply out of love for the craft. But as the market grew, greed and corruption ruled.

The game came out 7 years ago.

If you were 11 in 2009, you'd be 18 today.

Also don't forget the fact there's underage. I started browsing /v/ when I was 14. It could mean that someone born in 2002, was 7 when they played MW2 and is now discussing it in this thread.

2008. 2008 is the precise year everything started going into decline.

I like to envision Brawl as the posterboy of this decline, as well as Nintendo transforming into Neotendo.
