@Lake: all the objective based modes make camping impossible (eg. Headquarters because if everyone was just camping on one team the other team would always just rush the HQ with no opposition and win, which has happened to me a few times).

Host migration is garbage, it rarely ever works. 80% of the time the server times out

HQ is actually the only game mode that has gotten better. There's shit loads of camping in S&D, Sabotage has people camping around the bomb, Demolition is a great game mode.
Domination is the worst. I always seem to be on the team that captures one flag, then scatters around the map doing, camping out until they get a kill-streak.
I can't join many of the objective games, though. I talk to my friends in Party chat, which isn't allowed in objective based game modes. So I have to play TDM, Ground War or FFA most of the time.
They're either playing what ever game mode they play, or they're on a different game. Then, when we doo all play together, you get in a lobby and it's all "AAAAaaaAAAAaaaAAA" because people have just gigured out that others can hear them through their mics.

Sleight of Hand isn't faster auto-aim. It's faster Aim Down Sight. He got them confused.

Yeah I thought that until he said "slight of ARM pro". I thought maybe it's another perk for consoles.

Also, do you press anything like on PC so people can hear you on the mic? Or can they hear you all the time?

[edit]
Also, SoH is faster reloading. Or did you mean SoA? Lol this is confusing.

The pro version is faster aiming down sight. The regular use is faster reloading, though.

The mics have a self-mute button attached to them, usually in the form of a slider. That way nobody can hear you when you don't want them to. Or, you can change your chat settings to "friends only", which means just that. You can hear only your friends, and people that aren't on your friends list can't hear you.
There is also a party chat option, where you can invite your friends to a group conversation and talk to them while they do your thing and they do theirs.
However, it's rendered quite useless as most game modes don't allow it to be used on MW2.

My team on domination was the kind you were referencing earlier. So I just said to hell with it, right when we started winning I got a Tac-Nuke, we were like three points from winning when it went off, everyone said it was pointless.

near-on flawless multiplayer

There's still flaws, I won't deny that (hence "near-on"). But compare them to the amount of flaws in this game.
I very rarely had trouble with CoD4. No balance issues, because I knew a way around each perk and gun. I know the way around the majority of them on this game, but that doesn't stop them from being constantly annoying (Akimbo, Commando, Heartbeat Sensors). I wouldn't have constant connection troubles, especially when I was joining a game with a bunch of mates. We wouldn't all be split up and put in to random ****ing game modes.
The overpowered gun in CoD4 was the M16, apparently. Despite the M40, MP5, AK-47, RPD, M4 and AK-74u being just as powerful in balance. However, the FAMAS is a dominating gun in this game. Nothing comes close to it, in my opinion. It's rapid fire, 3-round burst and usually kills in that burst. But, wait, the stats don't say it has that much damage!
The maps were brilliant. Small and cramped, some may argue. But the effect that had on the gameplay was purely positive.
I can honestly say that CoD4 had not even half the amount of campers this game has. The maps made it difficult to do so, and there was no real rush for air-support.
Sniping actually required some thought. "Oh, this guy is running, must anticipate his path and shoot in to it."
This game? You shoot at the guy running, even if he's on the other side of Wasteland.

Again, CoD4 had it's flaws, but even when the game was released it wasn't as frustrating as this game. Maybe I dislike it because I was expecting CoD4 with some new features, or maybe the game is just pretty shit and unbalanced.

Best multiplayer score so far was 29-0, with the m16a4 (silencer and holographic sight)
didn't have the tactical nuke equipped though, unfortunately

Wow, the AUG and the ACR are excellent.

I think this game is just frustrating when you don't have your classes properly setup with your play style. I was having a shit time before I setup my two favorite classes, even though I usually ended with a good score. Now the game is a blast.

The only thing that pisses me off is how you can knife someone with ****ing akimbo on. You don't have 3 ****ing hands!

There is no such thing as "logic" in MW.

My classes are fine. They're all set up for the gun I use and for the play-style I use when using the gun.
There is one noted way to have fun on this game:
MP5k
USP with Tactical Knife
Marathon Pro
Lightweight pro
Commando Pro

Stun x2
Blast Shield.

Yeah, knifing only is one of the only ways I can play this game and have constant amounts of fun. Mainly because it's completely moronic how unstoppable you are. You can knife somebody from 10ft away in under a second, survive against most explosives, and piss off campers, which are in pretty much every game mode now.
I'll start playing regularly again when the new maps come out.

I loved the part when you were with Makarov
