Leaning is amazingly fun because you can conceal a whole ton of your body. Especially for single player, let alone multi. Especially if you can find a nice spot where your head blends into the background of some boxes etc.
And even with the "Im aiming for your head" wannabe comment, it is ALWAYS and INFINITELY better to be showing less of your body.
WOW, they got rid of lean!? That's the lamest thing I've ever heard. That's one of the most useful things you can use while sniping. Just hide behind something on the other side of the map, lean out, and shoot anyone you see while 90% of your body is hidden. It's A LOT harder for people to find you and the only way you usually die is by someone else sniping you.
Really? They had to get rid of lean? I could deal with the no-support-for-dedicated-servers, but no lean? Come on...
I have to say the worst part of MW2 for me so far was Steam attempting to install it. In fact I completed the single player game faster than it installed :@
I think its a terrible choice for such a popular game, the servers were terrible for downloading and just kept telling me they weren't available -.-

True, but since i already have steam installed, its not a problem, but the no lean and no dedicated servers really ticks me off.
I just played MW2 and it worked just fine, very smoothly.
Wannabe? It's just fact. I always aim for the head. 90% of the time when someone thinks they're hidden, the top of their head is showing, and that's where I cap 'em. Leaning players are hilarious because they think it's sneaky, but it's really no different than a quick strafe.
Now, I don't know why they took the lean out--it really makes no sense. If players feel more comfortable leaning, then let them. It almost seems like they just forgot!
They said they didn't balance the game for leaning, so they took it out.
I only ever used it a few times, but i can see why it might be usefull.
