Well. Being well known for my female dogging and being pessimistic overall. I will be talking about why this game won't be good.
1) No recoil. If you watch a stream of someone playing, you'll notice even shotguns, the MP5K and LMGs do not have any recoil...
2) Ridiculous Kill streaks/Death streaks. If you have yet to see a video of the AC 130 I recommend watching it. You can kill the team twice or more over if you get one. Of course you get it in 11 kills, so it won't happen ALL the time. But if a person does actually happen to be good. I could see it happening every couple of games. Even so, it is possible to get it through a care package although the better possibilities have a lesser chance of popping up. Just the idea of a freaking nuke...it is ridiculous to have something that can end the game. The sentry gun is also another annoying one, but will probably be used only a little and will only be a bit of an annoyance. Being able to RUN with this large sentry gun and move it wherever you like(which by the way kills people in no time) is ridiculous. But it is somewhat balanced(it doesn't rotate and it can be stunned/flashed oddly enough..)
The death streaks of course are just annoying-it's like having a fourth perk. By the end of the first month most will already be at the 75th rank, people are already at the 60's in just 2 days(of non stop play nonetheless). My point is-people will be using matyrdom and primary last stand which will essentially be a fourth perk. Very annoying 4th perks to add.
3) Riot shields. Not only will they be annoying to play with but people can easily cheat their way up the ranks although they will get their easily enough anyways. The shields cannot be destroyed. Infinity Ward claims it is balanced just because you can't see through it after a while. But it isn't. Someone can just keep it on their back and use a machine pistol/shotgun. Imagine that in Rust. That will be hell to play against.
I think this game has the chance to be good and it looks like it'll be fun, but I feel as though eventually it will just become stale and frustrating. The campaign also has a chance to be a noobified stupid thing because it sounds like an overly dramatic, ridiculous action movie. Instead of a stealthy bad ass action movie that CoD 4 was. To add, there aren't many maps. I think most were anticipating/hoping for around 20 maps.
The game has lost the balance between sim and arcade that it has been known for throughout the entire series. I am hoping for a barebones TDM playlist, I think then I will be extremely happy though.
But not to fear there are other games out there that are great. If you are looking for a game to tide you over or a game to play until the next blockbuster comes out if you are disappointed with MW2....try Uncharted 2 or NBA 2K10.
I personally hate Uncharted 2 multiplayer because it is too balanced, no recoil and of course all the problems with grenades. But the Uncharted 2 single player is a great experience for sure. With a phenomenal story line, acting and graphics you will be immersed.
As for NBA 2k10...it is also a great experience. The game right now is somewhat broken though-but once the first patch comes out I will be playing this from then to NBA 2k11. As of right now, you need sliders to play it(check out www.operationsports.com for great sliders/other topics) and you need to turn off key zoom and put the height high and the zoom in. If not you will have problems with lag in the key more than likely. But other than that I am very happy with the game. Association is a ton of fun, NBA Today is great-STELLAR commentary, the best of any game I have ever played and the gameplay is a lot of fun and realistic(although the paint could use more fine tuning, there needs to be more physicality in the key).
