The reason I dislike MW2 is that it's success is only there because of the COD franchise. People just buy those titles, and Activision exploited this in cutting too many corners. No servers completely nerfs community gameplay on PC for a start, and it is basically just a console port.

Although the single player was action packed (and good fun), I was disappointed that the graphics were nothing special (just MW standard) and that I didn't understand the story AT ALL. It just made no sense. It was just a "cool" shooter, which I'd probably have bought if Activision didn't set ridiculous prices. Activision's CEO is just out there for the money.

Moing on from my rant, you can find the BAFTA vids here: http://www.bafta.org/awards/video-games/
On Portal 2:
Probably won't win soundtrack or story and characters, Valve stories aren't cookie-cutter enough to win mainstream awards (and yes, I meant aren't, I tend to view people who give awards for games with a lot of suspicion).

On MW2: Completely agree then. Once again, when someone says "MW2 sucks!" I actually want to hear why they don't like about. That said I have low hopes for future Call of Duty games though, Activision plan to milk the cash co- expand the franchise till it is dried and rotten. Lets hope IW employees flee the company and start up another Something of Some virtue here game. Or do something genuinely unique...
