Sadly...i disagree....
Here the reasons why
First off the design with gameplay. KS was a good idea but flawed.
Reason it was flawed guns and perks.
Both being so powerful meant that KS needed to be so powerful that was all good and well however.....
Not changing the spawns or making it so KS did not destroy a team just spawning. That was a failure of design and making a game.
Now the overall design was good just when you throw it all together it was a mess.
Now black ops and trey appears to understand what failed in IW trys.
Oddly people hate trey for fixing a basic mistakes IW made

Quite liked MW2 maps overall it failed badly , i doubt now IW game design.
COD4 also had problems which IW was able to increase by some simple changes thinking it would not matter.
/facepalm it did matter as we saw.
So far black ops has some of the best map design i seen for a shooter of that style.
