No multiplayer game is complete without maps, andMW2is excellently served in this department.
If you thoughtCOD4s maps were well designed and thought out, just wait until you playMW2s selection of battlefields.
Each map is well tailored to the many and varied game modes, and none feel like filler material.
Game modes are extensive.

A few problems do still remain hidden within this gamut of goodness, though.
Lag is still a real issue occasionally, and games can be ruined by unplayable delays.
There also reports of players using lag switches to cheat.
This is the benchmark for ALL online FPS titles from now on.
Why cant we just get along?
But wait, thats not all.
Yes, there is, indeed, more.
Alongside the traditional online mode is the co-op Spec Ops campaign.
