So, what are your thoughts on this? I think the single player is far superior but multiplayer is severely lacking.
CoD2 multiplayer was great because it was simple. A few weapons, one class, that's it. It was great on teams and it was great on solo. But, with the changes they have made I think they have complicated online too much. It seems like an Enemy Territory to me. Classes and upgraded abilities? Artillery strikes? Seems like such... a copy, do you know what I mean? I've seen that before in so many games, why not stick to the multiplayer everyone LOVED (well, after the patch came out to fix the lag...)?
I think I see myself playing more CoD2 than CoD3 online. What do you guys think and why?

Unfortunately I'm going to disagree with you!!

Although I didn't play as much MP on 2 as 3... and I DO agree that 2's MP is simpler (as a positive aspect!)... I think the MP on 3 is more complete, with a notable exception of the discrepancies between Allied and Axis weapon effectiveness. As well, the Maps are far better in 3, larger, better detail and design IMHO.

I still think 2 is a great game to play MP, but I prefer 3.

COD2 was fun, yes, but I personally like COD3 much better. I think it helps that I played COD2: Big Red One online on my Xbox, and COD3 is similar to that.

I think the maps are far superior (especially the 6 new ones), and I like the fact that strategy is really a key element in winning. COD3 is all about flanking and I'm good at flanking.

In short, thanks for COD2, but COD3 is here to stay! Did anyone really just want a carbon copy of COD2 with different maps? I sure didn't.
