Modern Warfare 2 gunsounds, as all the players who have played the game have noticed - the gun sounds are different from most other shooters - it is crispy. Sounds very sharp, no heavy tremble, almost like someone clashing two undense metallic toys together.
There are several very good reasons behind it, and one of the most important and not easy to found reason is that they purposely removed the low frequency part of the sound pieces to not tire the players out. Low frequency are drum sounds, those deep trembling sounds that make your heart pound. Why this works is that drum-like sounds may sound realistic and terrorifying, but in a game that players play for long periods of time, it can cause disconfort, as the rhythm provided by the gun shootings have no good pattern at all, thus bad for the heart, and therefore tires the players out.
Notice how Black Ops have much deeper gun sounds and the players seem to be only to play the game for 2 hours or 3 hours maximum, where as lots of Modern Warfare 2 players play the game all day.
