Nadeshot defends Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in latest Twitch stream, calls out "irrationally ignorant" criticism

100 Thieves co-owner and former professional Call of Duty player Matthew "Nadeshot" recently took a few shots against Modern Warfare 2's critics, who are still complaining about the game even months after its release. While streaming the game on Twitch, Matthew went on a rant against "ignorant" people who have been lambasting the game in certain groups.

Explaining that he had presented a good argument on his podcast with CourageJD for why the release of the much-anticipated Modern Warfare 2 should not be severely criticized, the LA Thieves owner expressed his disappointment with the comments dissing the game instead of responding to his points.

"We had a podcast clip from The CouRage and Nadeshot Show on my for you page last night, and I actually thought I put together like, a pretty compelling argument. And every argument was just so like, irrationally ignorant. Where it's just like, 'No, this game sucks!' I'm like, 'Guys look, why are we still talking about each Call of Duty every single year? It's like the worst thing ever created.'"

Nadeshot says he doesn't understand why some people can't stop criticizing Modern Warfare 2

As a veteran in the industry, Matthew has had years of experience dealing with the franchise and its fans, courtesy of his highly successful streaming and professional esports career. Top streamers such as TimTheTatman and DrDisRespect have publicly criticized the new game for its flaws, questioning the game mechanics that are synonymous with the Call of Duty franchise. Nadeshot seemed to suggest that this was a repetitive pattern.

Continuing his argument, Nadeshot stated that many players simply claimed Activision's premier shooter to be "the worst thing ever created” without any concrete reasoning. According to him, finding fault with the individual game when the mechanics being criticized have become integral to the franchise is tantamount to not liking the Call of Duty franchise in general. Here's what he had to say:

"I mean, it's Call of Duty. It's really not all that different every single year. We know that the game's not gonna be finished when it's released. We know there's gonna be problems x,y,z."

However, according to him, Modern Warfare 2 also gets the basics right:

"The guns feel good, and it's Call of Duty. I mean, you know what to expect at this point. So, I just don't really understand where a lot of the hate comes from."
