I have played about 2 hours of multiplayer.
Graphics are good. Control is nice and smooth, as always. The new perks are cool and balanced.
Maps seem to be hit or miss, but I'd have to play them more. Most of them contain too many spots to window camp or balcony camp. Think Chinatown.
My main complaint is its so incredibly easy to kill people with every weapon its ridiculous. The sidearm machine pistols are better than any SMG that was in COD4, for example. Idle sway is gone on every weapon I've unlocked so far, recoil is very low for everything. Everything kills lightning fast even without SP, allowing you to use whatever the hell you want with Perk 2. Making every weapon incredibly easy to kill with isnt balance, Infinity Ward. The line between good players and bad players is further blurred in this game because of how stupidly easy it is. The removal of Juggernaut doesn't help anything.
Another complaint is the weapons are like clones of one another. In COD4 and WaW, every weapon had a unique recoil and feel. In MW2, I seriously can't even tell any main weapon I've unlocked so far apart.
Matchmaking still has no ability to search by low ping (Austrailia gets screwed again) and there still isn't a map preferencer.
The multiplayer is in a nutshell disappointing so far.

Ever played COD4 hardcore?
I'll bet it isn't as easy to kill people in MW2 as it was in HC.
I've heard that more people play (or 'played' because MW2 is out) HC in COD4, so it seems to be pretty popular.
But I can't really say anything, because I haven't played the game yet :S

I despise Hardcore.
And whatever happened to bare bones TDM? Jeez.
After playing some more, I was happy to use the RPD, which actually has recoil.

mmm I kinda agree The game is fun and fresh, I've played COD4 to death and WAW is all about SMG spam :/ The maps do seem very windowish, although it's not such a huge problem with the huge amount of LMGs and AR's that can rip through cover like anything even without FMJ.

Bare Bones TDM is no attachment, no perks, no streaks, pure weapon + skill team death match. Just like COD2 =))

Low recoil is good. It makes the console version more like the PC version. On PC, where you have a mouse and keyboard, I agree that recoil this low must be ridiculous, but after playing CoD4 on PC for the first time (I am a 360 player), I was like "Holy shit, the calculated TTKs without missed shots actually apply." So far I'm really loving it.

Well, they talked about it for COD4. It was supposed to be out for MW2 but they obviously lied.
I think it would be awesome. But what do I know.

technically barebones TDM is still in game, you have to set up a private match up though.
