Yes, a positive thread from me.
I have felt this way for quite a while now. But man, Infinity Ward is a really talented studio that gets no recognition in the industry because of how big and popular the COD IP is.
Finished the MW2 campaign and jesus christ, the audio design is practically unparalleled. The sound was on another level. The multiplayer, while playing matches of Ground War, sounds like a fucking real large scale battle. The sounds of the guns, all individually amazing, the sound of the guns actually makes them feel different from one another. The explosions that can be heard from across the map, the air strikes, tanks, etc, all sound incredible. If you're playing this on some dinky little TV speakers, you're doing yourself a disservice.
And Im just going to come out and say it, because maybe the "hardcore" community seems to have a hard time admitting this. But the reason COD sells so well, every year, is because the gunplay (specifically Modern Warfare) is fucking untouchable. It's by far the best in the genre, and I cant think of another game where the core gun mechanics are as perfect. It feels fucking good. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Theres a reason its inspired so many copycats, but none of them play/feel half as good. Best gun mechanics in gaming.
Infinity Ward with a 4+ year development cycle like other major devs get would be an unstoppable force. I hope MS doesnt fuck it up like they did with Rare. Leave them alone.
