Not only are they , they also feel an absurd need to hand-hold you through the game, providing even the most basic and rudimentary help in the form of messages. Modern Warfare takes this to the extreme.

There's the Specter gunship mission where they tell you a dozen times in the same mission that flashing IR strobes means friendlies; the fact that you see the "watch for the grenade indicator" messag every time a grenade kills you; the way it spams hint messages like "Hit Left to switch to grenade launcher" that obscur large portions of the screen (even when you don't want to use that weapon you have to switch to it to make the stupid message go away)...

It's as if even the Modern Warfare developers are growing tired of catering to the metaphorical "ADD crowd", and so have decided to bully you for being thick enough to enjoy their game. "You want hand-holding? I'll give you hand-holding! Muahahahahah, sucker!"

As a side note, I confess that despite its shortcomings, I found MW and its sequel to be lots of fun, especially in co-op mode.
