So, we're just under a week away from the release of this game!!!!
Discuss anything MW here! Will you buy it? Which edition did you pre-ordered? Whatever you want!
Now please!! If you're gonna talk about any of the information that was divulged thanks to those French that already have it SPOILER TAG IT!!!
-
Definitely buying it, I'm going to get the basic version, as I don't really see the appeal of buying CoD1.
As for the leak...spoilerz I am NOT going to be playing at all in that level. From what I saw, it's a pretty large scale slaughter, and while I understand the dev's reasons, I personally won't be mowing down the civvies, even virtual ones. Not gonna stop be getting the game, of course, it's going to be too damn GOOD!
-
I expect to see you and Chino online from day one!!!
I'll certainly be pulling an all-nighter next Tuesday.

Seriously? I expected this to be my game of the year. I'm a huge fan of the CoD series - all from 1 to 5 (except 2 which was the weaker spot and 3 which I don't know since it was console-only), 4 is easily my favourite, and I felt like nothing will stop me at buying it the day when it's released, even a pretty high price.
Then, I heard the news that there will be no dedicated servers on PC version, so we basically get console multiplayer.
Fuck off, IW. I can't believe it's the same team that made CoD1 - now not giving a damn about PC players anymore thanks to whom they got to the point where they are now. It's just the money that matters, isn't it?
And this is to everyone who whined about how bad Treyarch is - the last patch to CoD5 was released in September this year, with the third mappack - meaning basically that they did it even though they could just forget it, as it was 2 months before release date of IW. But they showed they care about the players who supported them and keep playing the game.
Another proof that being too optimistic is the worst way to go.
-
I'm buying this for PS3 whenever I can get it soonest. Should be a gas. I'm looking forward to a stern schooling by my DTF vets.

I guess one thing that needs to be explained in the first place is what platform you wanted to play on. I'm definitely PC-only.

:lol
I pre-ordered it for PC. I played Cod4 both on PC (mainly PC) and on the xbox, and the PC version is by far the better of the two. Though the no dedicated servers was a bitch move.

Fixed. If I had a good enough compy, I'd get it on that, buuuut...
PS3 is good enough for me ;)
Darkes, Dimi, Chino and I all play on PS3, although I believe Dimi has it on 360 as well.

Looking forward to this game even if I can't play it.

I'm looking forward to this immensely. My local GAME store is opening at midnight so I'll be heading down there to pick it up. Straight onto the multiplayer, I probably won't even bother with the single player till I've completed all prestiges. And I'll give any of you fools a schooling

I'm so pumped for this game ! But at the same time, I'm in a big school rush so I'm torn between two choices : school or MW2 ?!
PLEASE HELP ME !!
-
I shall be getting it on 360. Being aussie will mean that playing just with aussies will be the way to go if COD 4 is anything to go buy. LAG CITY!
As for the spoiler section...I probably will play by trying to shoot the terry's that Im with...see what happens. Im not that upset by it but man games are getting more and more crazy
-
Does anyone know when the media embargo lifts on this game?

Just watched footage of the GoWIII demo, and Kratos physicalls rips the head off the God Helios in gory, cinematic detail. A little bit much, if you ask me.

I already have the PC version pre ordered on Steam, can't wait.

Im looking forward to some good pew pew action next week

Looking forward to it, but I'm still occupied with NHL 10 and playing through Fallout 3 for the second time. I'll get it eventually.

Won't be getting it until the price drops.

Tuesday 12:01am - Wednesday 9pm looks to be my timeframe. It's going to be great fun unlocking and using all the new weapons :metal
-
Thanks to the silly DST, I will have the game one hour before you guys! :metal

We need to make a DTF clan and pwn mad noobs.
-
I was gonna buy MW2 until they announced their PC matchmaking bullshit.
I guess Dragon Age just gets more time now :)
-
Call of Duty 2 is still the best COD game.
And no dedicated servers or mod tools just sucks so much balls.
-
We need to make a DTF clan and pwn mad noobs.
Damn right!
I have a feeling that if people keep complaining about this "no dedicated server for PC", IW will be force to do it. At least that worked when people had the UFO hack all over the PS3 and 360.

Nah, they already did a big petition with a /lot/ of signatures, and IW are still not listening. Do they really think they know best? Yes they are the developers, but they seem so bloody up themselves.
"no co-op in single player as it would ruin the great atmosphere and story"
Great atmosphere and story? Sorry, what? This is Modern Warfare. Terrorists pop up and cause problems, we go kill them and their leader. the end.
I'm actually not disliking treyarch as much now. At least nazi zombies was fun.
-
Nazi zombies is the only redeeming quality of WaW.
-
a DTF clan would be super fun. Can't wait for this game!!I'm gonna have to go trade in my pc version of MW soon.
-
fake edit: wait, they probably dont take pc games. oh well
-
We need to make a DTF clan and pwn mad noobs.
Yes. I'll be getting a mic anyway, but in addition this would be grand.
-

YESS !

I'm on vacations until Nov. 16 so I have no problem with doing a DTF clan and also playing with my friends.
-
If this game is not god's gift to mankind and a cure for at least 3 types of cancer, I will be sorely disapointed.
-
:lol
-
this game is probably the most i have been excited for game in history. i just cannot wait. i played cod4 more than any other game i have on xbox, 10th prestige 55 of course, and this game looks just so epic. i say we start a clan too that would own. i will most likely be playing all day veterans day. my GT is CROUCH1NGTIG3R if u wanna add me

Perfect for this thread: (MW2-related)

My initial excitement for this game has been steadily decreasing over time. I'll still get it for the single player, but otherwise, meh.

I loled when I saw it on IGN and I laughed harder the second time around. Genious.

25 kills for nuke, lollll.
But I'm not getting this. I've had enough of CoD by now, every game is basically the same.
-
Nazi zombies is the only redeeming quality of WaW.
WaW with Thompson only with permanent steady aim would be far better than any game with no dedicated servers.
It's more complex than that, so it's obvious.
...in fact, I can't believe I'm the Mr Sceptical in a CoD thread, when I've always been the fanatic fanboy.
-
Do I get for Xbox or PC??!!??!!
Are most of you guys getting it for Xbox? Cause a DTF clan would be kickass.

Yeah, if you had a PS3! I don't think anyone in the thread piped up about MW2 on Xbox...confirmation?

Well... Chino, XianL and me will get it for PS3, I'll probably get it on 360 on the long run, but for the foreseeable future I will play it on PS3.

Right-O then. PC it is.

Right-O then. PC it is.
Because of no dedicated server, you're basically getting the same game with the same multiplayer matchmaking system, so yeah.

I'd get it on PC if I had a good enough computer. I love shooters on the PC (HL2, TF2 being my meagre experience). But that's a discussion for the video games thread.

Getting this for the Xbox. I'm so excited that I think I might explode. COD4 was such an amazing game that I think MW2 will struggle to match those standards and we'll all be disappointed though :(
Does anyone know if matches will be ranked in MW2? That's was probably the only downside to the online play. That and the fact that any noob could get 55/10th with enough time.
And what is this I read about 25 kills for Nuke? Details please people! I've heard that you can actually control the helicopter after a 7 streak in a similar way to the level in COD4?
Oh and also... I'm away for a week next week. That's 7 whole days I can't play MW2 when it's been relased. Will you guys wait for me? :neverusethis:
-
The CoD series needs really, really tough online ranks.

There's no nuke with 25 kills, people are just joking.
The chopper thing is one of the new kill streak, but the one I know that you can control is the AC-130 when you hit 11 straight kills, haven't heard anything about the chopper.
-
You guys should check out IGN.com. They have a whole lot of extra footage with commentary. Really interesting.

Nice. Gonna check it out.

incorrect. there is a nuke for 25 kills, there is plenty of footage of it. when you activate, there is a blinding white light, it kills every person on in the game including your team, and your team wins the match.
if im remembering correctly there are 3 killstreaks that you can control. predator missiles, ac130, and chopper gunner
-
Thank you for reading the very first post about SPOILER TAGS!!!!
-
That sounds too ridiculous to be true.
-
I've seen video's of it as well. I'm not such a fan of killstreak bonuses that give you a huge advantages. It encourages camping too much.
I will probably play a few times on my housemates 360 instead of buying it myself, I'm kind of finished with CoD.
-
In CoD4/5 the killstreaks were in fact not easy to get by camping (unless it was HC - but there everything is based on camping anyway - or the camper is a really annoying one), much easier by entering rambo mode and just going forward. Radar/UAV is excellent against campers, as you can clearly see them, and a moving target has an advantage, as the UAV is always out of date against him.
However, if there's an "automatic chopper" killstreak this time, it would be better if now it actually had some precise way of choosing targets, instead of total lotto like now (it can shoot you through a 30cm wall if you're barely visible, instead of shooting at someone walking in the open).
-
Very true Darkes.
For example: I always snipe when playing Wetwork, but when I play with some friends of mine, I can never get the chopper. Why? I'm the only one "camping" and their killing everyone! Always finish with 3-4 kills.
-
Yep, exactly. Eventually everyone will know that "there is a camper in that spot" and probably most of them will rush to get him. I basically never camp (unless it's some objective mode and that's really the only way to survive - e.g. defending HQ on your own against the whole enemy team), but I don't find it hard to get killstreaks when going rambo with MP5 on a good day. The surprise effect, advantage of a moving target I mentioned above and unpredictability help a lot.
-
Oh and I FUCKING HATE CAMPERS! If you're sniping and you're always on the same spot, I'm ok with that, I do it too. But I'm talking about these guys who use LMG or a stealth class to stay in the same fucking spot all game long. I FUCKING HATE YOU!! I HOPE YOU DIE A FIERY DEATH!!!
-
I never understood the hate for camping. If your playing smart, they're not terribly hard to deal with. Not to mention that that's basically what the LMGs are designed for - get into a good firing position and start pissing bullets.
-
The hate comes from people that can't never figure out how to kill them before they kill you. I learned that when they start camping, the best thing I can do is bring forth the M16 with Stopping Power and Deep Impact, one three round burst later, I am a happy camper.
No pun intended. :neverusethis:

In normal cases it's not a problem, the problem is when some moron is capable of entirely ruining the game because of his camping, like because he decided to deploy his tent near the enemy spawn and he's got UAV jamming and silencer. Or in domination one team gets two flags, and then starts to camp for the rest of the game.
I find LMGs pretty fun (that is, I don't really like RPD and M60 myself, but M249 is very good), and they're definitely better for normal playing than camping - of course, you need to be a bit more defensive, but with a rambo or two pushing forward, it works perfect when you're the supporting guy. LMGs are pretty difficult to use in fact (unless you camp ofc), and on short range you have little chances against an AK47 or submachine gun.

Basically every class I use has something anti-camp. MP5 with Dead Silence, AK47 with UAV jammer, silenced Uzi with 3x flash (this one is purely for fun, and REALLY fun). M4 and sniper are not, but then I use them for open maps mostly.
Btw, what classes do you people actually use in CoD4? It had taken me a while to get 5 ones I'd be happy with, but apparently I've finally found it.
Class 1: my favourite weapon in game, perfect for any kind of shorter-range maps (crash, vacant, backlot etc.), I'm able to be in-fight all the time and it's perfect against campers. In fact if I felt like it I could play with it on any map, but I like variety.
MP5, standard version/Colt 45/Flash
Bandolier/Sleight of Hand/Dead Silence
Class 2: perfect for maps with mixed med/long range and shorter range, especially city maps (strike, district, crossfire).
AK47, standard version/Colt 45/Smoke
3x grenades/UAV Jamming/Deep Impact
Class 3: perfect for open maps, like pipeline or overgrown.
M4 with laser sight/Colt 45/Smoke
Bandolier/Stopping Power/Extreme Conditioning
Class 4: for short range maps obviously and for fun, the ammo is usually enough for 40 seconds :neverusethis:
Uzi with silencer/Colt 45 with silencer/Flash
3x flash/Double Tap/Steady Aim
Class 5: sniper class. Do I need to say more? I felt stopping power makes it really boring and lame, so decided for something equally useful and more challenging at the same time.
R700/Colt 45/Smoke
Bandolier/Juggernaut/Iron lungs
That's it in fact. I absolutely, totally hate the standard bandolier/stopping power/deep impact class, so I always try to get as far away from it as possible. I can do pretty well with all of the above on any server. I'd probably have better stats with the set for "kool kids", but I don't give a damn - I play for fun.

Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?
Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.
Go fuck yourself IW.

I'm seriously considering not even getting this game anymore, or just pirating it for the 7 hour singleplayer. This is ridiculous.

That was actually pretty funny!
As for you Darkes7, my classes are:
M-16: This is my "default" class, the one I use when I just want to kill quickly, efficient and from anywhere.
Guns: M-16 with red dot sight, 1911 with silencer and stun grenade.
Perks: Bandolier, Stopping Power and Deep Impact.
Assault Rifle: I pretty much use any other assault rifle in this class. As of last night I'm using:
Guns: AK-47 with grenade launcher, 1911 with silencer and stun grenade.
Perks: Stopping Power and Deep Impact.
Sub-Machine Gun: I use this when I wanna play run-and-gun (which is usually in district, countdown, downpour, showdown).
Guns: P90 with red dot sight, 1911 silencer, stun grenade.
Perks: Frag x3 (or Bandolier), Double Tap (or Stopping Power) and Deep Impact.
Ninja Class: This is pretty much my stealth class that I started using recently for fun and for S&D.
Guns: MP5 with silencer, 1911 with silencer, Flash Grenade.
Perks: Frag x3, UAV Jammer and Dead Silence.
Any: Just like the name implies, I don't really have a set class here. I change it by maps.
Sniper Rifle: For when I like to snipe (Bog, Crossfire, Strike, Wetwork, Bloc).
Guns: Barret .50 Cal (Usually it's the M40, but I'm doing the headshot challenge for the .50), Desert Eagle, stun grenade.
Perks: Claymore x2, Stopping Power and Deep Impact.
I find that Juggernaut is totally useless with the sniper (I have never been sniped by someone using Juggernaut), but Iron Lungs I do sometimes use with it.

This just confirms my opinion about it, and I certainly agree with you.
Juggernaut is pretty useful because 1) when someone is sniping you with stopping power, the chances are equal - both of you need either a precise hit to kill the other, or two hits 2) it helps on short range. And I seriously don't understand why people whine so much about juggernaut, it's just one more hit to kill, dammit. Even when I use my MP5 class and it takes like 6 hits to kill a juggernaut, I don't care. He has more HP, I have fast reload... it's as simple as this. And complaining about juggernaut when using stopping power = please just gtfo.
Btw, I never got to like Barrett. It just feels... uncomfortable to me. I like R700 the most because it has a pretty big recoil, but you get good damage in return (a hit in the chest kills even without stopping power). M21 is my second favourite, pretty fun on pub, and I loved it when I was pretty inexperienced.
-
:lol
I only complain when their using Juggernaut AND Last Stand. Just one or the other, but both them? That's what I call a pussy class.

I decided to build a new gaming rig for Christmas, so I may be able to play this (eventually) after all. The gameplay trailers look amazing, and I'm much more concerned about gameplay than I am dedicated servers.

I've been sitting on the idea of doing this for a while now. To play TF2, L4D and the like. What website are you going through? (If you aren't going through a local store)

Newegg, most likely. I've already created a rough list of what I'm getting; I haven't gotten any opinions on my build yet, so it'll probably change. I'm trying to stay under $500. In fact, I think I'll create a thread to get some opinions.

I love playing matches with only my deagle.
It's honestly my favorite gun, and I'm a beast with it.

Newegg, most likely. I've already created a rough list of what I'm getting; I haven't gotten any opinions on my build yet, so it'll probably change. I'm trying to stay under $500. In fact, I think I'll create a thread to get some opinions.
I look forward to it. While I don't have quite the cash to dish out at the moment, I'd be interested to see what kind of system you've put together for under $500 (no clue how the exchange rate will work here, the loonie is pretty high up atm..)
In any case, I assume you already have a keyboard, mouse, speaker system and monitor?

Yep, also have the OS already, too.

I love playing matches with only my deagle.
It's honestly my favorite gun, and I'm a beast with it.
Me and my clan once did this. All 6 of use played and entire TD with only handguns. We lost, but only by 3-4 kills.
-
To be honest I don't like deagle at all, the recoil is just awful. I know how to control it, but the point is, before someone can hit me 2-3 times with his deagle, I can easily hit him 4 times with Colt. Especially on long distance this is obvious, on short deagle wins very slightly.
-
You're aware there is no Colt in the game right?
I'm guessing you mean the M1911, which is model after the Colt design.
-
It's called Colt .45 in game if I remember correctly. I won't be arguing any further, though, as I'm no expert in this (always thought it's the same Colt just with improved design, though).
-
Just got my text message from game stop!! :metal
-

The only .45 in the game is the USP .45.
-
We all know what gun he's talking about, whether you call it a Colt .45 or an M1911.
-
Ok, not .45, but anyway...
https://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5551/colt.jpg
In fact I'd never paid any attention to that before. I've used it like a thousand times and I don't even know what I'm shooting with in game. :P
-
Interesting. I don't know why it is the Colt 1911 there and the M1911 over here.
-
Hm, apparently Gamestops in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York are selling Modern Warfare Early (https://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176827).

Debating whether to do this or not. I only have one class, at 8:30am...And there's no class on Remembrance Day. Course, it'l be a travesty to play on that day :blush

No Dimi. Just no.

Unless you have a close family member who died at war, I don't see what the big deal is.

All four of my grandparents participated. Thankfully all survived, but that certainly doesn't mean I don't have a reason to want to respect that occasion.

Only about 7 hours and 28 minutes left!

Meh. Ill probably wait until thursday or friday to go pick it up. I'm in no hurry.

I care more about the quality of the campaign than the online play, although I'm sure that will be excellent too.

2 more hours over here. Although my housemate probably wont go to the night release.

I'm going to pick it up in about 24 hours from now.

If I had an Xbox, I would be in no hurry. Besides, I knew that if I did get it my life would go to the shit.

I doubt it very much!
I've been impatiently waiting for this game since I heard the talks about a second Modern Warfare in early December of last year.

It's been out here for 20 minutes already.

While I enjoy an excellent campaign, I can never play one more than twice. That's if I even finish it the second time. Multiplayer on the other hand has tons of replay value. COD4 have something like 24 days with me. Killzone 2 is a perfect example of a game with an outstanding campaign, with a shitty multiplayer. I'm really hoping MW2 delivers on both levels.

Err... that should be the other way around. That games campaign and the characters were so terrible, but the shooting/mp of it was pretty solid. Anywho, not buying this game so I'll be leaving the thread.
-
I'm going to go get in line. Be back tomorrow!
-
Well, have fun kicking ass tonight boys.
I on the other hand, will be sobbing quitely, wishing I could play. :'(

I was totally impatient waiting for it since I heard that it's going to happen, and after seeing the trailers and hearing the news, I felt I'd buy it even if it meant not eating for a while. And now...

Never played Killzone, but I finished the CoD4 campaign like seven times I think, every time enjoying it a lot. If a campaign is really damn good, I can return to it many times. (Though still, multiplayer wins in the long run obviously... I think I have something like 850 hours on xfire)
-
Yeah so... I'm almost done with the campaign of COD:MW so when I finish which is taking time since I've been playing GTA TBOGT, I will buy MW2.
-
Off to get my Modern Warfare 2 copy!!!
-
Off to get my Modern Warfare 2 copy!!!
2 hours in advance? Jeez. I'm leaving at 10:50.
-
I lied. I went down to gamestop and got a ticket. I am third in line. I'll be heading back down at like 11:50
-
You guys are freaking me out. I have no idea how busy the line will be..
-
Which is why I went 2 hours in advance!
-
My copy is reserved so i don't have to wait so i'll swing by FYE tomorrow to pick it up. :biggrin:
-
They will be calling us into the store in groups of ten. I am number 3.
-
My copy is reserved too, I just want it earlier than you! :P
-
I think I'll celebrate its release in 2 hours by playing a bit of COD4 ;D

I was on a solid 7 hours throughout the day. Had to get my skills up again.
-
I have to say, I was pretty indifferent to MW 2 coming out before, but now I'm pretty pumped.
-
iPod's charged, time to go! When I get back, I'll be buzzed like HELL!!
-
I'll be playing Campaign before i touch the online multiplayer tomorrow.
-
IN MY HOUSE WITH THE GAME!!!
GOING TO BE ONLINE ALL NIGHT LONG!!!
-
I'm gettin on in a few, invite me. I have a friend playing a couple rounds and me might not be so hot.
-
Fuck! installing updates.... ugh
-
I'm afraid I won't be getting my copy in the mail for a couple of days. Blast.
-
I'm gettin on in a few, invite me. I have a friend playing a couple rounds and me might not be so hot.
Now you can join my game!
So if you want, join me.
-
I got there at 11:30 and there was about 150 people already there. Walked home, AND HERE I FUCKING AM.
LET'S GET 'ER DONE!!
-
So I've been playing for a few hours, first impressions are good guns, good maps, terrible party invite setup, but all in all good stuff. Really like the way you get different bonuses with the care packs, and shooting from the helicopter/planes. Hell of a lot of camping though. Played a bit of the single player campaign too, really fun, a pretty fucked up mission near the beginning, good graphics and an interesting story. It's 6.30 in the morning now so time to sleep, but back on in the morning!
-
Yeah, I liked the other invite system better. But on this one you can actually enter a session of your friends, which I think it's better.
-
I've only been playing for about half an hour. I can't say much, but I love the feel of the multiplayer.
-
Anyone get this on PC yet? According to steam, it doesn't even unlock until November 12th. wtf?
-
I can barely keep my eyes open I am so tired, but I can't put it down.
-
Dunno about you guys, but host migration isn't working on my games.
-

Nevermind, one worked.
Took goddamn long, but I suppose it's better than ending the game.

I just got Modern Warfare 2 for £26 when it's normally around £54.
-
Lucky son of a B*tch!
What platform didja get it for?
-
Was going to get it for Xbox but there was none left so I got it for the PS3 instead.
THANK YOU SUPERMARKETS.
-
Pre-ordered it on amazon and selected Release Date Delivery, now we just have to see if it actually gets here today.
In any case, I'll be on after school.
-
why aren't you online then, you ian?
Haven't seen you much around Stark, what system for you?
-
I'm at work. My dad is visiting me in Aberdeen and he bought it for me (with my debit card) a couple of hours ago.
-
I think I'll celebrate its release in 2 hours by playing a bit of COD4 ;D
Now that's a party.
-
This game is awesome. I am still getting used to the maps and all the new guns. I am going to try and get at least 100 kilss with every gun, that way I get a feel for them all. My roommates are fucking up my ranking though.

Dunno where ya went Chino (we won :tup). But I've backed out to get you and Dimi together. Throw me an invite whenever.

I haven't eaten anything in like 19 hours, I gotta go get lunch. I'll be back in a while.

Going to get this game in like 20 minutes!!!!!1!1! :caffeine:

I'm having a lot of trouble with the game locking up when searching for players before entering a game. I have to guit MW2 and restart it. ANyone else having these issues?

So... is it any good?

I'm having it with game invites. I couldn't joined you and XianL, no matter how much I tried!
By the way, the goggles from the prestige edition really work!!!! :lol
-
Is it just me or is the amount of blood that goes on the screen (after getting shot) get REALLY annoying?
-

Its really starting to piss me off. You fall like 8 feet and you can't see anything.
-
I've only played it for about 10 minutes (my dad is visiting) and it was driving me insane.
-
So I'm guessing none of you are having the same problem I'm having with the party invites?
-
So I'm guessing none of you are having the same problem I'm having with the party invites?
Well the problem you are having now is the problem I have when I am home. Hence the reason why we never played together. Last night I was able to join your games, today I can't. I am not sure why.
-
Same here. Last night I was able to play with no problems at all, today I can't get into invites! I read something that has to do with the "Your NAT type", but mine's open so it suppose to have no problems!
-
why aren't you online then, you ian?
Haven't seen you much around Stark, what system for you?
School is screwing me up, having to spend too much time on it. I also don't have a computer in my room so it isn't nearly as convenient to get here on a regular basis.
I'm on the 360, gamertag is nakedcups.
-
Well I played the first 3 or so levels, did some sepc ops with a mate over live and a few multiplayer matches.
The game is very, very intense - Im playing on hardened but Im thinking of restarting on veteran - or maybe I'll finish it and then redo...hmmm.
The 'controversial' scene actually shocked me quite a bit. I didn't think it would be that bad but it actually was lol! I chose to play through it to experience the atmosphere but just shot the people 'i had to shoot' - ie the police as they were trying to kill me. The end of the level was the real shock actually.
Graphically it is awesome - it looks great on the 360 and I may just pick it up for the PC a little later on so I can bump up the grfx to the max....but Im really enjoying it on the 360.
Spec Ops mode is the shiz! The best level so far is the sniper level. You and your mate strap on guillie (sp?) suits and crawl the the grass in the chernobyl level from the previous game - absolutely awesome. Its the first sniper inspired multiplayer that actually feels like being a sniper.
Being that I didn't start playing until 1130pm last night, I didn't get too far through...but I rate the game very high so far. It's just so polished. I find it awesome that developers spend so long on games to treat us like this.
-
Okay I found myself a copy. I just need to get back to my freakin apartment!
-
(https://i38.tinypic.com/6idudh.jpg)
It's nerdtastic!!!
-
:lol what the FUCK. I still can't believe they actually made that.
-
And they work quite well too!
Not military grade, of course, but for $70 they do their job. (I say $70 because the prestige edition is $150, but it's the goggles plus the hardened edition, which was $80, so the cost of the goggles is that.)
-
Haha, ok. You should find a way to make use of them

Back alley rape is always a good choice

Yeah at first I was like pew pew

i really love the multiplayer in this game. I got to level 25 before I realised you could edit your killstreak rewards, and that just made it all the better. The Harriers are fucking awesome. It really does seem like they've tried to overcome every single little complaint that people had about COD4, for example the fact that if you have a helicopter you can't use because there is already one in the air, it goes into a queue and puts it up for you when it can so you can carry on playing and not just lie somewhere frantically tapping the d-pad. And having all the different aerial attacks is great.
It's gonna take forever to progress through all the prestiges too. I've been playing for about 8 hours in total and I'm up to level 34, which is a lot better than some people have done who've been playing for the same time as me, so considering that it takes longer to be promoted the higher you go, and there are 70 levels, I reckon it's gonna need minimum 24 hours playing time per prestige. And who knows how many prestiges there are this time around.
And as for the single player, I loved the 'controversial' scene, and tried to blow away as many people as possible. But I'm a bit fucked up. The story is great so far too, really absorbing, but I can only play for a while before the call of multiplayer draws me back ha.

Any PC gamers play it yet? Thoughts?
I played COD4 on both xbox and PC, and i'm still not 100% certain which one I want to get (leaning towards PC, though)
-
Sigz said that Steam doesn't unlock the game until tomorrow, don't know about any person who bought the physical copy.
-
I think I actually managed to over play this game today... between all the online, and multiplayer with my roommates, I probably have over 12 hours on it since launch. I'm putting the controller down for a while.

Yep. No one who bought the PC version, steam or physical copy, is able to play the game because it needs to run through steam, which still has it locked.
-
Oh wow! That's a big fail.
-
Ha! I suck at the MP - I've played too much Halo 3 and am not used to the 'quickness' of MW2 - sure I tried with cod4 but it didn't suck me in ala Halo - I think I will dedicate more time to this as the maps are really good.
-
Since I didn't play the console version of COD4, what exactly is the deal with prestige?
-

It's only if you want to start over from scratch in favor of getting a new emblem besides your level.
-

When you get to the end of the ranking system, you can start over.
Basically it's extreme nerdage, seeing as you can do it up to ten times, and many do.
I did it like 3 or 4 times on CoD5.
-
DAMMIT XIAN!!!
Stop playing so I can pass you on scores!!!!
-
And just to add even more shit to this entire thing, it looks like IW stole a bunch of source material from various Cod4 mods, namely the X4 mod:
This is going to be big news for most...that is, for those who have never heard of a community CoD4 mod called X4 (mycallofduty.com).
Allegedly, Modern Warfare 2 will have a tactical nuke as a Killstreak of 25. Welcome to MW2...or is it X4? The following pic was tweeted on Twitpic by randomalec today:
Many of our hardcore PC readers will already know that the X4 (eXtreme mod for CoD4) mod from mycallofduty.com (PST*Joker's site) had a working Tac Nuke a year ago.
That I know of, there is still no formal recognition of the modders that influenced the nuke, the controllable AC130, the knife-throw, the spawn protection, air drops...the list is growing. When asked for to comment on the discovery that yet another X4-like feature is in MW2, a disconsolate PST*Joker had this to say:
"Half the PC players, All of the Xbox and PS3 players, can now know what mods can do for a game. They will all get the opportunity to see exactly what WE have been doing over the years and what kind of servers WE have been creating"
Buster, from TheCompanyHub.com had a slightly more sardonic take:
"Jokers AC130. Jokers Nukes. My Winter Ghillie Suit and uniforms. My idea posted on Bowling's blog 1 year ago about the KRISS Weapon system. Lol! What's next our Gamer Tags? Our Wives? Maybe they will steal our idea about dedicated servers..."

They also used at least one map (the Pripyat map) from a mapping contest they held for COD4, which resulted in no winners.

Since I didn't play the console version of COD4, what exactly is the deal with prestige?
It's only if you want to start over from scratch in favor of getting a new emblem besides your level.
Wow, that is pretty nerdy.

DAMMIT XIAN!!!
Stop playing so I can pass you on scores!!!!
Uhh, no? :-*

So my copy came in the mail much earlier than expected, so I've been playing it quite a bit today. Almost done with the campaign, but I think I shall take a break from it for now. I haven't touched the multiplayer all that much yet, and my brother is hogging my xbox at the moment.
I do find it bullshit though that you can't be in party chat when in a team deathmatch game.

I hereby nominate the "mow down random innocent civilians with a machine gun" level as the greatest single player mission ever.
-
My roommates haven't come out of their rooms since this game came out. I have no social life as a result of them having no social life.

So is the game worth playing single player?
-
I'll be able to play it online today, by the way.
My headset will also be arriving today as well :hat

There were prestige modes in CoD4? Or console only? I know there were in CoD5, I'm currently on prestige 3, it's a nice feature since it's possible to start again on the same profile after getting bored with having lvl65 and everything unlocked (at least I'm like that, having Brownings and stuff is fun, but after some time, I decide that it's fun to start just with the basic weapons and perks again).
As for the PC version news and the mod "inspiration", thank you to the person who invented this one: :lolpalm:

Martyrdom is now a 4-death deathstreak, but stopping power is still there :lol

Stopping Power is awesome!! Martyrdom is now a deathstreak, if they kill you 4 straight time, THEN you released martyrdom and no Frag x3 either.
But, only one Claymore?!?! Come on!!!!
BTW, anyone else having problems trying to get into multiplayer? Now it doesn't even finish downloading all my settings and ranks!

Same here Dimi, I wanted to check how much my ranking went down, I was 17,000 in score last night :hat
Ah well, finish this work and start the single player, I spoze.
One claymore? YESSS. Suck it, campers.
-
I only ever used claymores when I'm sniping, which in my book is not camping. But looks like the 1.02 download has fucked up the multiplayer!

So far the multiplayer has been pretty bittersweet for me. While I like the overall new look of the game, and the gameplay is still rather fun, there is a good number of things that feels dumbed down or just plain unecessary. I also am disappoint that some of the weapons from CoD4 didn't make it into this one, such as the G36C.

For example, the overall layout of when in game. You know how when you kill people and you see this really annoying looking thing pop up at the bottom of the screen? Yeah, unnecessary.
The Titles and emblems also seem rather silly.
I don't think there is a prestige mode, and some of the class stuff like all these different options doesn't seem necessary as well.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll get back to you on the rest when I get home later.
Though I will admit, I do like how you get points for more things in this game than in the previous one.

Oh.... My..... God. That airport level in the campaign was easily the coolest level I have ever played.

It's changed in as much as it's like COD4 on steroids. there's a lot more going on at any one point. You don't really get those quiet moments that sometimes happened in the other game. And there's a lot more customisation. You can choose what you get for different killstreaks, many more attachments for primary and secondary weapons, and the perks are much more intrinsic to gameplay, at least for me.
My setup for most maps:
FAMAS with holographic sight
The second shotgun, the one with a fast fire rate (can't remember the name)
1 x frag
2 x stun
Slight of hand pro
Stopping power pro
Commando pro
Martyrdom, though I haven't yet had to use it ;)
-
The second shotgun is the AA-12.
And is it me, or does the Bling perk is all kinds of awesome?!?!
-
Is multiplayer online still broken?
It is awesome, I've been using a FMJ-Suppressed M4A1 with my secondary as Akimbo-FMJ magnums <3
(although once I get extended mags on the M4A1, I might switch to ExtendedMags - Silencer and Slight of Hand)
-
Holographic and silencer with the M4A1 = complete pwnage!
Have you used the Steyr, XianL?
-
No, what goddamn rank are you? Farthest I've unlocked is the FAL.
(The AUG HBAR is sick though, LMG and looks similar)
-
is bling the one that lets you put an extra attachment on your gun?
-
The AUG HBAR is the Steyr! And I'm 32-33.
is bling the one that lets you put an extra attachment on your gun?
Yes.
-
is bling the one that lets you put an extra attachment on your gun?
And bling pro (requires 200 kills with a blinged weapon to unlock) gives you two attachments on your secondary weapon as well!)
The AUG HBAR is the Steyr! And I'm 32-33.
Oh :P It really is sick though. Deceptively large mag, and an excellent reload time!
I haven't unlocked anything but the RDS and grip, but so far it's a solid weapon. What really annoys me are the tripods on it, and many other weapons. I feel they detract from the models a bit. Nothing game-breaking though.
-
I don't know why all the LMG and SR have the tripods on them, you can't use them. But that doesn't annoy me. The AUG is sick!! My favorite LMG so far and I'm using it constantly!!
I also just read that IW is putting more servers for the PS3, they're saying that the patch didn't break the MP is just that they are having server overload.
You think they would've been prepare with lots of server since day one, just from pre-order numbers you knew the game was going to sell a gazillion copies!
-
They should have had an open beta. That would have given them a real idea of the kind of serverload they were going to have. Morons.
I haven't really investigated the LMG's or SR's yet. I've been unlocking all the attachments (or as many as I can) for the assault rifles and SMG's. M4A1 mastery at 8/9, and I'm about 2/3 the way to blue tiger ;D (Urban camo is great!!)
Not a huge fan of the SCAR-H, but both the FAMAS and the TAR-21 are great.
-
gahh only a few more hours!
-
gahh only a few more hours!
You're going to love it, see you online :metal
-
The SCAR-H literally eats the bullets!!! I can't believe how fast you ran out of bullets with it! I'm using the FAMAS until I get my baby unlocked (M-16) and I've been surprise by how awesome the UMP is!
I haven't been able to snipe a lot, but that's just until I get a good feel for the maps and I find that doing headshots are very, very easy!
-

Yeah, the FAMAS is like the godchild of the M16. Did you know that deep impact is now a attachment? FMJ increases penetration. So, bling for you all the time, amiright? :P
Have you been using the G18 much? I don't often get a chance, but when I whip it out, it destroys! Great magazine capacity as well, something like 46 bullets? Nuts.
-
XianL, do you have it for PC?
-
:lol I use Bling on all classes except the one for sniping.
Haven't use the G18 a lot, been trying to get the attachments for the guns the way they are unlocked. So I'm still working on the P2000.
-
Maybe if I had a PC capable of running a game like that :P (although I plan building something of the sort in a few months...)
No, I bought it for my PS3.
@Dimi: You haven't used scavenger yet? :o Damn son. And fair enough on the weapons/attachments strategy. Have you finished all the attachments unlocks for the M4 then?
-
All the way to the thermal scope and yes I've used scavenger, I have at pro even.
-
I guess its not really worth it to get it on PC...
COD4 doesnt run terribly on my compy, but its definitely smoother on xbox.
I might see if I can trade some old games I never play to get both, like I did with COD4...
-

Other than it's the most annoying and overpowered perk in game, ok.
The rest sounds good though. And reading all about the attachments and new guns makes me really want the game, and I'm supposed to hate it. :P

Just finished the game on Hardened, holy crap, this game is so superior to MW1. I've read reviews saying that they were disappointed with the campaign but I think its much better. Many surprises and twists, almost like M. Night Shyamalan made it, only it just doesn't suck. I'm going to go ahead and predict that this game will hands down win game of the year.

Lame.
COD's have not been difficult since COD 1. I really wish they'd bring back the old health bar system again.
-
Health bar? HELL NO!!!
Having to waste time running around looking for health packs, no thank you.
-
Then don't get shot. The whole trend towards regenerative health systems is really annoying IMO.
-
Then don't get shot.
Try doing that when you're playing on the hardest difficulty.
-
Hence why it's the hardest difficulty. With regenerative health there's no feeling of continuous challenge. Every firefight is it's own self enclosed fight, with no effect on any of the other firefights. With a health bar, if you play your cards wrong in one firefight, that mistake affects you down the road, because you have less health for later fights. Much better system IMO.
Also gets rid of the whole "Oh I just took 17 bullets, let me hide behind the sandbags for a few seconds and then I'll be fine" thing.
-
There's definitely a feeling continuous challenge with this and CoD4, even with the regenerative health. As Dimi said, it's almost impossible not to get hit on Veteran. And as for a health bar, is it really that much different than regenerative health? Take a few bullets, regenerate the health. Or take a few bullets and find a health pack and regenerate the health.
And if we're talking realism, we have to consider the effect that health packs have: "Thank goodness that medkit instantly and fully healed all my bullet wounds."
-
There's definitely a feeling continuous challenge with this and CoD4, even with the regenerative health. As Dimi said, it's almost impossible not to get hit on Veteran. And as for a health bar, is it really that much different than regenerative health?
Except that on the harder difficulties in the original COD, there were almost no health packs to be found. The problem is that the entire play style of COD has changed. The original had much more concrete 'battles', whereas the newer CODs pretty much just throw enemies at you in mass waves. The fact that it's impossible not to get hit on the harder difficulties demonstrates this perfectly.
-
I can't really comment much on CoD1's gameplay, as I can't recall if I ever played it. Or if I did, it was hella long ago. Can you elaborate on "battles" versus "waves of enemies"? I'm not really imagining much of a difference.
-
Well, I'm off to go pick up my copy :2metal:

Seriously, it just wouldn't fit the COD gameplay...

I already own Portal, and Ive already played Half Life, though I'll admit playing it again would be a good reason to get it.
And I'm a 16 year old high school student. What else am I gonna do with my money?

Also gets rid of the whole "Oh I just took 17 bullets, let me hide behind the sandbags for a few seconds and then I'll be fine" thing.
The difference is also that in case of the regeneration system, there is no need to "save & load" like in case of a health bar system. I played the whole CoD1 and UO campaign some time ago again on Hardened, and I have to say it was a similar challenge to CoD4 or 5 or Veteran - not frustrating, but certainly challenging even for an experienced CoD player. Both systems have their pros and cons imo, but personally I'd go for something in-between: health regeneration, but every time you regenerate less. Let's say that the system is that you regenerate 90% every time, so after one regeneration you have 90% health, after second 81%, etc. until you reach the bottom limit. It would be slightly more realistic but interesting for the gameplay.
Or, just the ability to choose the system you want before starting the campaign or in MP setting it on the server. ;)

COD1's fights were larger in scale, and more organized - the battlefields were more open, there was a distinct front, some objective like a bridge that needed to be secured, etc. COD4's battlefields are smaller and more cluttered, and often enemies spawn around, giving the entire thing a much more hectic disorganized feel. It's much more difficult to find a solid piece of cover as a result, because enemies tend to spawn around your given position.

So I finished the MW2 Campaign last night. It was a good romp, but the story was absolute shite and the whole "enemies coming at you from all directions ALL THE TIME" got old pretty quickly. I also felt like they tried to replicate the execution scene and the nuke from MW1 like, every hour or so and they only really pulled it off during the airport part.
It's OK, though. Multiplayer is still amazing :metal

I completely agree. Some of the battles in UO were the best levels COD has ever or will ever have.
Also, regenerative health just pisses me off. It gives you no incentive to avoid getting shot, no reason to not run across an open space, no reason to carefully advance and use smoke and cover, etc. It's also dead easy. No COD levels from COD2 up have given me any challenge, and especially not compared to the beastly difficulty of the levels on Veteran of UO and COD 1.
They should just give you an option to turn off regenerative health, because it's just too damn easy. I long for the days of the "health bar, but no health packs" days of COD 1 on Veteran. Hell, even Halo was better with health packs.

I got to play this game for the first time last night. It was pretty amazing, as to be expected. I'm going to get it for Christmas probably.
Me and my friends played Headshots only, minimal health, only magnums on hardcore. It was pretty sick.

It's fun, but frustrating on veteran. Playing the helicopter guy is quite annoying. (I okay them together with a housemate).

Why does NOBODY communicate in this game?

I did it last night with a friend, I pretty much just cleared the way for him in the chopper. Played holding the trigger button all way through. :lol

Yea, just using the 40mm in the first chopper mission. That one wasn't too bad, but the second one is really boring.
-
I've only played the first chopper mission.
-
The chopper -- get to it.
-
I've only played the first chopper mission.
The second one is lame.
I got up the stairs and had to walk 2 more meters to the chopper. Then suddenly 3 guys came walking up the ladder and killed me. We weren't paying attention because we thought we finished it.
I own the snowspeeder stuff though. Probably because I played the speeder bits in Star Wars games too much :p.
-
That's the one I played, and because of that it's lame??
Because you were stupid enough to think it was over when there was no "Mission Success" on the screen?
YOU'RE LAME!

No, it was because being the chopper dude is totally boring. Just keeping the button pressed and spraying. With trees blocking your view and the chopper circling at a stupid spot all the time. The first mission was cool though (Although I think that was a plane and not a chopper :p).

So, after having to endure this week with being short $50 for Modern Warfare 2, my friend who got it on Tuesday and has over 24 hours on it (as of yesterday), got red rings on his Xbox 360, and will be lending me Modern Warfare 2 until his Xbox gets back. :caffeine:

Russia is pissed!

So anybody in Russian who did get MW2 before this recall has now a collector's item.
-
They better not take that level out before I get this game.

Has anyone tried 3rd person modes yet? TDM in 3rd perosn was a blast!

Yes, I dig it quite a bit.
Also, why are other countries so butthurt about how they are portrayed in video games? It's not like everyone who plays them are retarded enough to believe that's how those countries people are like. Oh wait....damn you average Modern Warfare 2 fan base.
But hey, that mission is quite fun. It's the only mission I enjoy fucking up on and having to start over :P
-
How do you mess up on slaughtering herds of humans? :lol
And besides the point, does anyone remember why PFC Allen didn't just point his machine gun at makarov's head and blow him away? There had to be a reason it wasn't a straight assassination, because if they put a spy next to him, there's no doubt they could assassinate him.

I purposely let the police kill me.... ;)
Also, plot holes, Modern Warfare 2 is full of them,
-
The entire story makes little sense.

Yep. And the way it is told is horrible, they expect you to extrapolate a lot of things from MW and just don't explain others.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I'm still not completely sure what happened in the last few missions.
-
:lol I feel the same. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:
First off why did Price shoot the nuke? And why was it directed at America? Wasn't the war against the Russians?!?! Oh, and where the hell did Makarov disappeared to?!?! I'm guessing that last one is left unanswered in MW2 so they have something to build a story for MW3.

...Most people that post here have already stated they've finished the game, I felt no need to tag it.

who fucking knows. Price somehow knew that detonating the nuke in the upper atmosphere would fuck up the russians more than it would fuck up the american troops. or something. Whatever.

I think what supposedly happened, in the mind of the designers, is that detonating it high up would minimize destruction, but still create an EMP blast in the DC area, which then would halt the russian advance, take out all their air power, comms, etc. It's still fucking retarded, but hey, whatever.

I literally was 2 minutes playtime away from learning about the nuke. Just finished the campaign. Does anyone know why Shepard betrayed TF 141? Of course he mentioned the destruction of...that unnamed city US forces fought in to capture Al-Asad, and losing 30,000 troops, but how does that make TF 141 his enemy? :huh:

It's just one of the many plot holes in the game. At first I thought it's because he didn't want anyone to be able to connect him to what happened, but then I remembered that he still has swarms of henchman working for him, so I have no idea.

I got it for xbox a couple days ago.
So far the single player is good as always, and Special Ops was fun to play with my friend.
Multiplayer is pretty good, but it seems a lot more gimmicky, and way more cartoony. It way just be that I'm used to PC controls and such.
My KDR is also a big bag of shit. Maps I dont know + new controls + new weapons = I suck balls at this game.

I don't know what made TF 141 his enemy, but what I understood that went the city and 30,000 people was Washington D.C. They say they have rebuild the White House before and the mission that follows it is the one where you end up putting up the green flares so you don't get blown to hell.
-
I'm pretty sure the 30,000 people was the city that got nuked from the first one.

But they also say something about losing x number of civilians in that same speech, right?

Just finished a game with 21 kills and 12 deaths.

Got this game today, and have been playing Spec Ops missions with a buddy. Lots of fun so far!

Single Player noe done - loved it. The story is all over the place but it doesn't lack in the epic department that's for sure. There's nothing like pulling a knife out your chest to kill the bad guy. I was like, "I see you've played knify chesty before."

Is there anyone who has the PC version and can tell me more about it?

What more can they tell you?
All things I've seen and read is that it's exactly like the console versions because of the no dedicated server thing.

What I'd like to know is how much does it suck and if it works properly :P

I went to my friends 18th and played MW2 - my thoughts:
- Fun campaign, but as with MW1 it was inexcusably short. Try learning from Bioware or Valve.
- Not having lean was a pain, why take out something that has been around for a decade?
- The pc version looks quite a bit nicer than on 360 (I played both)
- The pc port was a bit lacking with graphical customisability... okay, very.
- The new multiplayer maps (imo) are a good improvement over MW1s...but:
- 9v9 is too small.
- No way am I paying £45 for this game. And because Activision are money-grabbing bastards they won't lower the price for years (like MW1) so looks like i'm skipping the COD games for a while.
- Review websites are universally fanbois. I'm sorry, I love Call of Duty, but I would /not/ give it a 9.4 which is a 0.2 increase on MW1 which it definitely doesn't deserve. 9.4 - really? It's almost as bad as GTAIV. Ugh.
tl;dr
activision/infinity ward failed imo, but i'll have fun at social gatherings with it.

For me, the console controls are just making it seem a lot more arcade-y, I guess.
But also the fact that every time you kill someone theres like 5 messages that pop up in bright yellow telling you all the points you've gotten, and a few other things, it feels less realistic.
Im still really enjoying it, though.
-
Oh a couple more points:
- spec ops is too easy. On hardened you can still kill them with a single shot to the shoulder or arm or leg etc, which is plain stupid.
- magazines STILL don't work properly. If you reload before using the clip, you should lose the bullets from that near-full clip imo.

I take it you played the earlier Rainbow Six games?

Addressing the complaints about MW2's campaign length: Do you really think it should have been longer? An intense experience like that has no reason to be longer. Especially with the dumbass story I think it would have suffered from being any longer than it was.

I think Socom 2 did as well.
-
Yeah, but you had a ton of ammo in that game so it didn't matter much.
-
Just sayin
-
I think in that one they'd save those clips, 'cause i remember reloading and getting like 2 bullets before I had to again.
In other news, the M4 is my new favorite gun in mw2. MUCH better results than with the FAMAS.

The Famas is this games M16. Unbalanced and good for easy kills in hardcore game modes. And I think the M16 is more balanced this time.
-
I'd like it if they added something like realism settings in future games (CoD6?). Ammo, health regeneration, endurance (perfectly steady aim after long sprinting?), sniping (sniping while jumping...), weapon limitation (CoD1 like/CoD2 and later-like/3 main weapons), friendly fire, friendly tags, weapon recoil etc... that would be pretty cool I guess, everyone would be able to set it like he wanted - total arcade or nearly hardcore realism to a certain level. I don't think it would be hard to implement the above settings, as it wouldn't change the game mechanics much.
Btw, my will is weakening and I almost feel like buying MW2. Damn you. :( (Don't have money for it yet, though)
And, as for guns - still any doubts that MP5 is the world's best SMG, or in MW2 everyone agrees on it? :P

It's not going to happen. Hardcore mode on MP is as far as they will go IMO. They have a formula and a captive audience, any serious change in game mechanics would upset the fanbase. Its an extremely polished and well presented arcadey shooter. (Wait I just described Halo).
Anyone think, while good, the single player story is kept on a fucking shoe-string? I mean its basically. cool shit is goin down, here have an M4.

Oh dear god, you have to learn to not reload after every kill? What do you want next, a railshooter with autoaim?

There is something inherently wrong when I don't feel that the length of it justifies the price tag. YES, the multiplayer is great, but that only shows up the singleplayer even more. Last week I picked up Dragon Age, and it has a 90 hour campaign. Yes it has no multiplayer, but it also can be played 6 different ways, amounting to nearly 600 hours. Of course, i'm not asking for this, but I would like something nearer to Half-Life 2's length. And as I said, apart from my price concern, it's not a strong enough single player to get 94%

That does not excuse the shoddy singleplayer though. Gears of War 2 has just a strong (imo) multiplayer, and has a much stronger single player campaign.
Stop dodging the issue by saying "b-b-but the multiplayer is really good so it doesn't matter!"

Diff'rent strokes, I guess. I would lose interest in a wacky military shooter that was more 6 or 7 hours. Of course an RPG is going to be super long, that's the nature of the genre.
Of course you have every right to think the price tag was unjustified, and maybe if there weren't the two extra modes I would agree with you. The fact that the two extra modes not only exist, but are fun and offer potential years of replay value, the length of the single-player is a non-issue for me when talking about "price justification".

Why would you lose interest after 6 or 7 hours? Do you try to play game campaigns in one sitting every time? Very few games have campaigns that short, you play them a bit at a time. Half-Life 2 is a 'wacky' shooter too, and it's far far longer (it has pretty cool multiplayer too, and if you bring the orange box into the equation well...yeah)
And I don't think that spec-ops is that replayable once you have three stars on everything, and we made serious headway into that after several hours. Some of them are just damn limited. The snowmobile ones are fun, but short. The patrol ones get tedious because there is no variation. Yes they should patrol the same each time during one session, but it would be nice if when you try the mission next time they swap around the numbers a bit or something, else starts getting boring and frustrating when one guard manages to alert the horde and then you die horribly and have to the do exact same thing again just to get back to try that section again.
Okay, so even if I do decide that it's worth £45 on the fun multiplayer, that doesn't stop me from being disappointed in it, because as far as multiplayer goes, well CoD4 and 5 had multiplayer that is almost identical and still has plenty of players on. So why do I fork over £45 for more of the same fun? I don't know, I just find that when the campaign they said they couldn't add co-op in because it would ruin the "cinematic experience" (terrorists attack, so we go and kill them. revolutionary.) which turns out to be... well, lame, a disappointing factor in regards to what I think of the game.

The MW2 campaign is the video game equivalent of a Bay/Emmerich movie. I don't know how much of that I'd be able to take before turning off, 'cause by the time MW2 ended it had already started wearing on me. HL2 was a different beast entirely. The single-player was the focus of that game, and you could tell. For MW2, it's clear that campaign wasn't as important to Infinity Ward as the multi-player. Could the story have made sense? Yes. Could it have been longer? I suppose so. Could they have included co-op without ruining the "cinematic experience"? Hell yes, and that was a cop-out answer. But at the end of the day, a large number of people who bought the game will probably never even touch the campaign so was there much incentive for Infinity Ward to craft a superb campaign? Not really.
I had something else to say, but I forgot exactly what we are debating. :lol

My problem is yes, evidently multiplayer WAS the main focus. But how much have they actually added apart from some new guns and maps? You could nearly call it an expansion pack or DLC at a stretch. With the time they had they could have done a compelling improvement over the previous game, like CoD3 to CoD4.
And I don't think saying that because people want to play MP more than SP that means you can skip making the SP campaign superb, you don't go for the minimum required in games, you go for the reasonable maximum, especially with people like Infinity Ward.
All of this just brings back my annoyance at how it's average rating is 9.4.
-
The developer of CoD3 are not the same from CoD4, so that may have something to do with the vast improvement.

How much would you have liked Infinity Ward to change the multiplayer, though? They created 16 fully featured maps, added a bunch of guns, perks, and other extras. You're not going to change the core gameplay that made the first one so damn popular. Stick a (very competent) campaign on top and you have yourself a sequel.
I agree that Infinity Ward could have done a better job at crafting the Campaign, and I think some of their design choices were poor (CONSTANTLY being fired upon from every freaking direction) but as it stands I am very pleased with my purchase which is why I'm not too heartbroken about the campaign.

Fourth one you mean? ;)
But no I see what you mean and agree, the formula works. It would be nice to see improvement as have been seen through the series though which I think improved more between 1/2/4 compared to 4/6 (or even 5 I guess but I haven't played it).
I'm not sure. I just feel like Infinity Ward are damn good developers and I kind of feel sad with them not pushing their boundaries as they did so much with CoD 1, 2 and 4 :( But hey, maybe the game has reached its peak until they shoehorn in the crytek engine or something.

Just about to start the campaign for the first time :corn

That's pretty short. They expect you to pay how much for a three hour long game?
And don't even say you're paying for the online. That's bullshit. You should get a real game to play before the online.

I'm pissed off that Assassins Creed is coming out so soon though, as I doubt I'll even have time to look at it. 10th Prestige here I come.

Anyone had a Nuke yet?

I read something about a paid subscription for multiplayer yesterday :|

That's for Activision's next installment. From what I gathered, it's not mandatory. I think it is just for certain features, like clan ranking systems and shit.
-
Anyone had a Nuke yet?
I've been nuked, but I haven't gotten one in a care package yet though (and haven't wasted a killstreak unlock, as my highest killstreak is 19 so far). I've gotten an EMP once though, it was awesome.
It's going to be epic when I do though.
-
I have been hit by a nuke three times so far. My team lost all three times.
-
Oh shit, I just realised that Left 4 Dead 2 is out tomorrow. So do I play Dragon Age or MW2 or L4D2?
Or do my 6000 words essay due in wednesday that I haven't started :facepalm:

The eternal conundrum of the gamer. Especially when so many incredible games (or at least hyped) are coming out. L4D2, MW2, AC2, DAO, what else? Borderlands, perhaps, as well as R&C: A Crack in Time.

I've never had a nuke in a care package, I haven't unlock the emergency airdrop either so I don't know if they do appear there.
I was nuke once, but that was because my friends and I went on a private to see what happens when you get nuke.

I'd like to get the ball rolling on this DTF clan idea (PS3 edition). PS3 players as I know are Chino, Dimi, myself, Antigoon, and Iain.
First off, who would be interested in such a thing? Raise of hands, please.

To clarify, I'm not talking about anything crazy, Dimi's concern mirrors my own. I had envisioned a couple sessions a week, of a couple hours each time.
Scheduling would be a bitch, and as I learned and respect from my days of WoW, RL > Video Game meetings. It's a bit much to tell friends "sorry, I can't go out, I'm gaming with some people on the interwebs tonight". Thankfully it's only four people rather than fourty. I think we can work something out (and I should be getting a mic this thursday :metal)

For sure. We're all people with responsibilities and I'd imagine the clan would take a more social slant than other more hardcore groups. As long as we're playing together and having a good time I think it will have served its purpose.

Outrageous indeed, as I plan on getting a 360 sometime to play Mass Effect and Halo whateverthefuckisnewest online (solely the latter, of course).

Mass Effect on pc is better, but be sure to pick it up on steam to avoid the DRM.

Anyway decided that while awesome MW2 does not deserve the ratings its getting. It Halo all over again. But I have to say, SCAR-H IS THE BEST OF THEM :metal
-
Thermal sight is my new favorite attachment. Makes sniping so much better.
-
DRM? (pardon my ignorance)
I won't bother arguing for the ratings it's being given. Suffice it to say I agree completely with them.
SCAR-H is good...but the M4A1 is bettar :hat

I love it!
Also starting to like the heartbeat sensor! It works wonders on Wasteland.
-
The heartbeat is a good backup to UAV, but most of the time I can figure out where they are with that.
Even so, I love it for going stealth, which is just about my favorite type of class other than sniping.
-
What I don't like is that the silencer actually lowers the damage on the snipers. Which is not correct, it should lower their range, not the power!
-
Screw you guys I'm sticking to COD1.

True. Although I love the sound the silenced .50 cal makes.

I love the sound of 'Prestige Edition'. Is that the one with the night vision goggles or was that World At War? Maybe they should ship the next 3 or 4 games with different parts of a sniper rifle.

Nope :D Only games that I know of that use the install limit as well as steam are crysis and you can avoid it on the original crysis by buying retail (warhead has it in both variants). Oh and batman too, but you get 4 installs a month, so er, I don't think tahts much of a problem.

So, anyone up for a 360 clan? :hat I'm not sure if I could do it or not, but just wanted to see if there was anyone interested.

/offtopic: I will for anything that isnt an FPS or RTS, so not for cod6, but for other games sure.
-
You mean clans?
-
I have it on 360. Me and some school friends kinda have a joke clan going, but if there were a lot of people here that wanted to make a legit clan, I'd be up for it.
-
Anyone had a Nuke yet?
I haven't had a nuke, but my mate Kyle who I play with a lot has had about 10 so far. He had 5 just today, including 3 in consecutive games, and the 2 games after that he got 24 streaks before he died. He's probably the best player I've ever seen, but they're actually not that hard to get if you use the right killstreak rewards. He just gets up to 7 kills, uses the harrier strike which easily gets you up to at least 11, then when the harrier leaves he uses chopper gunner, and getting 10 kills or so is easy enough, as long as the enemy aren't hiding in a cave or something. Then, boom

I'm considering changing my killstreaks. I'm currently using a 3, 4 and 5 just for the convenience as I'm usually getting 4/5 '5' killstreaks a match. That being said, if I can get a 5 so often, why not have a 5 as a minimum rather than UAV and those annoying care packages?

DRM? (pardon my ignorance)
I won't bother arguing for the ratings it's being given. Suffice it to say I agree completely with them.
SCAR-H is good...but the M4A1 is bettar :hat
SCAR all the way, although it's one 1 of 3 guns I've actually used to any great extent.
SCAR-H with Bling Pro Perk 1: Silencer and Holographic.
Depending on what matches I'm in (TDM vs S&D for example) I'll either use Stopping Power or Cold Blooded as Perk 2.
Currently using Ninja as Perk 3.
Secondary weapon is the SPAS Shotgun with Holographic, not using a secondary attachment on this gun as the Silencer seems a bit silly. Reduced range on a short range weapon? Saying that, I don't use the Holographic sight either. Shotgun from the hip FTW!
I think my equipment is a frag, and a stun.

My thoughts exactly. I've come to love all of the assault rifles, currently working on the M16A4 and the FAL's achievements. My preferred class varies, but I've had a fun time with -assault rifle-, stopping power, steady aim, frag, flash, bling pro w/ ACOG and shotgun and with the thumper as a secondary, gets the best of all worlds, nade launcher, shotgun, and long range capability :hat
Oh, and lightweight/marathon is amazing for a run-and-gun/knife class!
-
My favorite class right now is my vector acog scope with g18 (working on getting stuff for it) with the perks
sleight pro
stopping power pro
and commando pro
pretty basic, but I've been getting 10+ killstreaks without even using the killstreak rewards.
-
I love what they did with the acog in this game.
I really didnt like it in COD4, but its very decent in this game.

Yeh I completely agree. It was a waste of space in 4, but now provides a nice level of zoom without being too intefering in aiming.

Thanks for the class config Stark, I'mma try it out once I finish getting urban for my UMP45
As for the ACOG, I agree. It's an improvement over CoD4's ACOG, for sure. But didn't you guys ever ACOG snipe? One of my favourite things to do in CoD4. And it was great with the M16 and SMG's, I found.

lol! Sorry antigoon :-\
-
What are you sorry for? Killing me a zillion times? :lol
-
Did I snipe you at all? I only noticed cause I shot you in the back with my pistols :lol
-
Maybe once or twice. :P I find if I switch weapons a lot it fucks with my aim, hardcore.
-
Last night I beat two missions on veteran in 26 minutes... that about 13 minutes per level... on veteran :hat. Very easy veteran mode, definitely easiest in CoD series. Very fun nonetheless.

Yeah I agree. A few of the missions are ridiculous from the shear volume of fire, but overall veteran is not nearly as hard as in previous games.

What does the "pro" in perks mean?
Btw, I've been wondering... what about the map rotation, if the servers aren't dedicated? It's random?
-

Ja, ja.
"Pro" perks are upgraded perks once you've completed a challange. I.e. kill 250 people with stopping powered gun, or get 50 close range kills with ninja.
-
Upgraded stopping power? They must have got this idea on the same crazy party where they decided on no dedicated servers.
Thanks for answer. :)
-

Thankfully, none of them read along the lines of "even MORE bullet damage" or "even MORE accurate hip-fire"
pro steady aim give you the equivalent of iron lungs, pro stopping power does more damage to vehicles with bullets (although you'll be killed if you even TRY to mow any helicopter/plane down, it's all about the launchers now)
-
Oh, now that sounds far better. Thank you too.
My will is weakening... I might eventually buy it. :blush
-
Yeah, I've already finished Veteran but it was very enjoyable. I think they wanted to put the challenge in Spec-Ops, especially seeing as how its impossible with one person. However, the mission where you are guarding the download in Makarov's safehouse was without a doubt the single hardest moment in the entire game.
-
Just replaying on Veteran now - I should have started on that. It's not so much that it's easier. You still can die just as quick. There's just no infinite respawns and so much grenade spamming so survival is a little better. The two first levels I didn't die once! Im sure there are sticking sections later to come but I wont struggle as much as cod4.
It took me like 30 go's to get the 'complete the training run in SSSD under 30 secs' (or whatever its called). I was trying to use 2 machine guns and get no civi casualties but always ran 2 seconds short with 100% accuracy. I then swapped to the automatc shotgun, got 1 civi casualty and beat it in 28 seconds...go figure lol!

Can't do this for my life. Lowest time was 41 seconds I think. I nailed the one in Modern Warfare 1 though in like 17 seconds.
-
My record in MW1 training is 15.3 with -3 seconds counted for accuracy. The funny thing is that Price says "the current unit record belongs to Gaz with 19 seconds", and I was faster, but he just said "that's pretty good, but I've seen better" :lol
-
I just use the UMP (might be an MP5 but still an SMG) and the G18 as it lets you get a lot of bullets out while still having a fairly large clip, and you move quickly too.
-
You know awesome MW2 and L4D2 are right? And how you can just about balance playing both? Well now Assassin's Creed II is out too.
I swear the gaming companies are conspiring together to make us be poor and have no social life every November :sadpanda:
MW2 seems to be more fun without friends though, my friends are too good for me to play against :\

Really? The Pit is by far the easiest. I did it on I think my 4th try or something, using only two pistols. I only had to reload like once, and with 100% accuracy its a breeze to finish in time.

Yeah, the Favela part was ridiculous. The download mission you could pretty much just stay in the house and guard it directly, but the Favela was ridiculous, especially with the infinite enemy respawns that it impossible to take it slowly.
-
Just beat next two missions on vet :hat Airport level was cake and when I got the riot shied I literally walked through the level. Second half of the next mission was annoying though.

Damn right! It's damn near impossible to do!

My roommate and I were just playing the ops missions on Veteran for a while.... very tough.
-
Yeah, fuck that Favela mission. I died so many fucking times.
-
Just beat next two missions on vet :hat Airport level was cake and when I got the riot shied I literally walked through the level. Second half of the next mission was annoying though.
Where your chasing the guy on the roof? I just did those missions. Took me a lot longer than the previous missions.

Yep that one. First half I breezed through, then when I got like half way up the huge hillside I was getting owned,.

Are you talking about the Favela mission?

I remember one of the soldiers saying something about a favela... so I think so.
-
Then yeah, that's the toughest mission in the game!

Sweet!! Then I should fly through the rest of the game (wait a minute... I'm talking campaign, not spec ops... are we on the same page?).
-
We are.
-
We are.
;D
-
No shit? I died a bunch, but I found that for each group of enemies, there was a house you could go through, a building you could sneak around, a place you could snipe from... You just had to figure it out,
-

Hence how I finally beat the level
-
I guess it depends what part of the Favela mission, part 1 where you capture Rojas or part 2 where you're escaping. Part 1 was the hardest, and part 2 was freaking fun. However, I have to say that "Loose Ends" is still the hardest mission. Not only is it near impossible to defend the computer, it's even harder to escape after you grab it.
-
Defending it it's not that hard! You can take one spot where you see them coming from all directions and kill them. Getting out is hard, though.
-
Are you kidding? They come in from at least three different entrances, one of which is in the basement. Thankfully I found a AA-12 with 83 rounds in it. Just blasted away and nade spammed. I agree it was less difficult than escaping though.
Call me a n00b if you want, but getting out of there (I was playing on Hardened) was absolutely brutal. Every single fucking enemy has lazer guided vision and hits you from hundreds of metres away. I must have died about 20 times.
-
Thats not even that bad. When I did the Mile High Club on COD4 on Veteran, I must have tried at least 50 times. Brutal.
-
Has anyone shot down a Pave Low?
-
Thats not even that bad. When I did the Mile High Club on COD4 on Veteran, I must have tried at least 50 times. Brutal.
You did it?! I think I've tried literally around 100, and couldn't do it, no matter what. Even if I managed to get upstairs in around 35 seconds, the army up there is basically impossible to handle in such a short time. It's the only thing in CoD4 I've been unable to complete. It's very easy on Hardened, but Veteran with just one minute... it's insane.

Yeh.

You can do it almost completely without firing a single shot.
The key is to use flashbangs and just run past guys or make it to those invisible walls where if you pass it, the friendly CPUs will just mow down the entire room.
Took me a while to figure it out, though.
-
Has anyone shot down a Pave Low?
Yea. Javelins are harder to fire off, but kill without fail. I definitely got more (general air) kills with the stinger.
-
Has anyone shot down a Pave Low?
Yep. I have brought it down by bullets and the Javelin.

Good arms.
-
I can never figure out which class to put my launcher in. I hate not having a sidearm.
-
I habitually stick it with the LMG. But best idea would probably be with one of the automatic assault rifles, as you've got long range and short range capabilities on them. (Shotgunned M16A4 anyone?)

Oh... never tried doing it that way, I just mastered the art of killing 10 enemies with a single 30-bullet MP5 clip... which didn't work out on the upper floor anyway. Thanks a lot, I'll try it next time.
-
At the last stretch where you climb the stairs to the hallway leading to the VIP, I literally didnt kill anyone. I threw my remaining flashbangs and fucking sprinted to the end (I only had like 2 second left as well)
-
I managed to beat Mile High Club only three times. What helped me is in the 2nd room after you go up the stairs there are 2 flashbangs in there, so essentially 1 flash for each room. It definitely takes forever, but it does help you get a little more used to close quarters.
On a second note: Domination on Shipment was one of the most fun and hectic moments I have ever enjoyed in a video game ever and now it's gone :'( :'( :'( I wish there was some kind of equivalent level in MW2.

Terrible.

I adored Shipment, it was just one huge endless warfare. I think it's mainly because I got pretty good at it and eventually got a fairly decent number of kills each time. I've never been much of a slow player, I'm always the flag runner in CTF.

Ok, so I just finished the MW1 campaign, for like the 8th time I think... Took me four days with just 1-2 hours per evening, on Veteran obviously. Like every time, I feel it's really amazing and possibly the best single player campaign ever created in an FPS game - it's short, but simply perfect, with no weak spot or mission (I managed to find some clever solutions for missions that used to give me a lot of trouble this time). The ending is always very strong... and possibly the most epic use of the last stand perk ever. :lol
What does this have to do with MW2? Well, I decided... that if it's good enough, and many people, even the sceptical ones, have said it definitely is, I decided I'll give it a try. They could have fucked up the idea of multiplayer, but maybe the new solution isn't that bad. I'll see...
One thing I'm just curious about - I don't want ANY spoilers, but one question - is Sergeant Kamarov present in MW2? I'm wondering about that.
-
I don't remember seeing any Kamarov in the game.
-
He was the Russian sergeant helping you in several missions in MW1 (and most importantly, arriving to save your squad at the end of the game). I'm curious because he's quite an interesting character for me.
-
There are some characters from MW that pop up in MW2, but Kamarov wasn't one of them.
-
I'm playing through Call of Duty United Offensive again, and I'm reminding myself what a well designed, truly difficult single player experience is like.
-

Ok, thanks.
I'm playing through Call of Duty United Offensive again, and I'm reminding myself what a well designed, truly difficult single player experience is like.
It is. Significantly more difficult than the basic CoD1 campaign (making it probably the hardest single player in CoD series), but it's excellent. The final American mission (defending the palace... or whatever it was, don't remember now) and the whole set of SAS missions (taking out the guns, motorbike escape, boat escape) are one of the best moments in history of CoD, and the American one is probably the most intense one ever.
-
Is it me, or do some of the MP maps blow dick?

This and they needed to make more maps from the campaign levels. Some of the MP maps are like completely random. :lol

Really I just hate Estate.

Quarry and Underpass for me.
Too much camping going on. There's camping in Estate too, but for some reason it's in the same spot.
-
Protip for Quarry Domination:
The flag in the centre, in the small room at the bottom of the two floor tower with a ladder in the centre. Use a akimbo SMG, machine pistol, pistol. Hide around back, the side where the grated walkway is just above you. Swing out and blast whoever is foolish enough to try to cap the flag. You're pretty well hidden, I had great luck with it a couple days back :tup

Really I just hate Estate.

What I don't get in Estate is why everybody goes and camp on the house on top of the hill. I mean, that's the only good camping spot you've got?!?!

Chino, antigoon, Dimi, what are you guys later tonight? Aside from some studying I'm getting done now, I'd be able to be online around 7:00 DTF time.

We should come up with a clan name as well. Unless we're just gonna call it DTF?

The clan name couldn't be more obvious... TBT.
THE BEST THEM.
-
Me, Chino and Antigoon are [DTF] :metal :metal
Dimi, what's your clan tag?
-
Did Infinity Ward think that people wouldn't notice that Ghost is just Gaz with a mask and is voiced by the same person and has the exact same personality? Or does it just demonstrate their inability to let old things go and make up new characters?
I would also be interested in being in a clan, but I'm kind of a new poster so it's up to you guys if you want to add me or not, I kind of feel like I'm imposing and I don't want to be :-\ But, my GT is FsEtNrDaEtR92, its really annoying to type in and I might change it but that's all I got for now.
*Spoiler*
I actually have to kind of say this about the return of Price as well. I mean, some say it wouldn't be a CoD without a Captain Price, but in a way it felt kind of like a liberation. Ah well, can't complain.
-
Me, Chino and Antigoon are [DTF] :metal :metal

I use [Yuca] when playing with my friends, [DTF] when I play with you guys.
I just got home, won't get on until much later.

Don't worry about it. It's not happening tonight. Maybe Saturday if antigoon's back and everyone's around. It's all good. :hat

:2metal:
I'm too lazy to scroll back up, PC gamer?
Yep.
OK, so for now I have around 90 minutes of multiplayer and the first three missions of single player behind me. What I can say for now is...
AMAZING. And it's good that I changed my mind.
Let's start from the multiplayer: lots of positive changes, a lot of new stuff (the attachments... CoD5 tried some improvement here, but when I saw the list in MW2, I went :o ), and I like the new maps. The system of finding servers actually works pretty well, no serious complaints about it yet. As for the guns, they look very interesting. For now I mostly played with MP5 obviously (total win, like always) and M4 with PP2000 as the sidearm, worked very well.
As for the single player... for now I'm also very positive. The first American mission was a very solid, classic fast CoD mission with a lot of fast action, bringing memories of e.g. the "broadcast" mission from CoD4 (the first American one as well). The second mission was excellent, I instantly liked the "new" MacTavish (unlike Price from CoD4), and the mission itself was perfectly designed, and something new for CoD despite some influences of the Chernobyl mission from CoD4. And now...
...there's the "controversial" mission. When starting the game I instantly got a message that one mission can be controversial/offensive blablabla, and if I want to skip it. I didn't know what to expect, so I said no. I remembered some posts here about civilians, but that's it. Finally I reached it... 30 seconds, and I skipped it, too much for me. I don't see the point of adding it into the game. I can be a total fucking Terminator when dealing with an armed enemy, but shooting civilians is no way for me. I shot Makarov a few times and moved on. The next mission seems pretty difficult, but I'll handle it later I guess.
The only serious problem (except from above) is some stability issues - it crashes now and then, giving a bluescreen. It could be related to ATI, as there's something about a .dll file with ati in it. I'll try to find a solution tomorrow, don't feel like it now.
So, I'm going to keep playing. I was very sceptical and entirely changed my mind after the "no dedicated servers" announcement (before I was probably more crazy about it that you guys), but all the positive opinions (also from people being very sceptical) convinced me that it's worth it. It seems IW could regain my trust eventually...
-
Hey, if you guys need a self esteem boost, just play almost any mission on veteran. I beat the fourth or fifth mission in about twenty minutes on veteran, dying like three times, and in the same (sorta) tricky spot. Just run 'n' gun and it'll be cake. :hat
-
Goddamnit, I had to spend my MW2 money on a replacement for my ipod instead guys, sorry I won't be playing it for a while with you :(
-
Ok, a bit more...
I've reached lvl21 in MP meaning I finally have the perk allowing two attachments. M4 with silencer and pulse sensor is pretty damn good. I also decided UMP45 is probably better than MP5, due to significantly better accuracy (which is always the key factor for me).
Also... well, I decided to play the whole airport mission since I wanted to know what happened in the end. I didn't kill any civilians or policemen and had to stand the view of the massacre somehow... At first I wanted to get the whole mission done without firing a shot, but the fucking bastards are only good for shooting civilians and can't even handle two antiterrorists with shields, so I had to help or it would have taken forever. The ending is pretty surprising indeed...
The favela mission is one of the most annoying in the history of CoD series. They seem to appear EVERYWHERE, wherever I went I got shot from three sides. No idea how many times I've died, but 50 is a rough estimation.
Ok, that was a long day... still a lot to explore. But that's for tomorrow. It's 4:50 AM... good night, guys.
-
I've only thrown my controller once, so it means MW" is wayyy easier that the first one
-

Bad news for me.
I think I'm going to hold off a long while till I get this. Easy campaign + crappy story does not make me want to play it that much.
-
I'm through the next two missions...
The second mission in Brazil with breaking through the city outskirts is easily one of the best in history of CoD. It's insanely fast, difficult but not annoying and the ending was just constant adrenaline rush. Simply amazing.
-
I think all you guys are bullshitting me. There's no way you people were able to run through the levels, or hardly died. I played on Hardened, and even there I died a lot. Do you have precognition, and are able to determine the ambushes before they happen?
I call BS on you all :yeahright

I call BS on you all :yeahright
From what I've done already I can agree, the difficulty level is at least the same as CoD4. There are less annoying solutions and the autosaving system is better (although I'd certainly prefer getting rid of this console-sourced abomination and bringing back the old manual saving system), but it's not any easier. Though I thought having 420 ammo in CoD4 is much... until I saw 900 in MW2. :lol
Btw, in MP: akimbo MP5k with silencers is just plain awesome. Smoke grenades are necessary, but on maps like Terminal it's total ownage :lol
-
I quite enjoyed the part where Roach is runner on the rooftops away from the entire village (end of Favela?)
-
That's the ending of the mission I was talking about. It was simply amazing and extremely intense.
Btw, apparently updating my ATI drivers did the trick for resolving all the crashing problems (at least it seems so for now).
-
So I just completed the MW1 campaign for the first time (on 360 (hardened))
Now to get MW2 and catch up with you guys :laugh:

Just finished the campaign. FUCKING EPIC.

I'm past the gulag mission now... for now the campaign is even more awesome than MW1 campaign. It's hard to describe it, it was a great experience. And the ending... I thought that's who it is, and I was right. But anyway, my complaint...
WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO COLT 1911 IN THE GAME? :P

Just finished the campaign. FUCKING EPIC.
Besides the fact that it made no fucking sense whatsoever.

Dimi, what's your gamertag? The one you gave me a while ago (dadeadfenix) is silver.

I actually ended up having two M4A1 classes. One with silencer, the other with thermal scope and FMJ ammo. Apparently it works.
Can someone tell me why 90% of people seem to play with SCAR-H? It's pretty crappy, accuracy is clearly worse than M4, 20 bullets per mag, damage is slightly higher, but it seems like this is the classic newbie "more damage = better weapon" thinking.
-
It's actually not that bad, though it runs out of bullet too quickly.
-
It's not bad, but every other rifle I got into my hands in both SP and MP was better... especially M4 which is available since the beginning.
-
Ive always loved the M4. Other than the G3, it was my best in COD4.
-

The FAL (MW2's G3) is awesome!
-
I know. I used it every time i could in SP.
Im waiting to unlock it in MP.
-
In fact, all assault rifles in MW2 are awesome!
I've yet to use the AK47, but I'm getting there.
-
I feel people focus too much on rifles in MW2. Submachine guns are excellent, UMP45 is awesome on many maps and has an excellent accuracy, and like I've mentioned, akimbo MP5k with silencers are pretty much unstoppable on closed maps (e.g. Favela). I guess it's the usual "oh no, I won't be able to fight on any distance, I'LL NEED A STRATEGY OMG" instinct working. But well, I benefit from that a lot. :biggrin:
I'm also curious about the AK47.

In COD4, I was unstoppable with the MP5, and sucked with the M4A1. In MW2, I find I can't do shit with the MP5K, but do really well with the M4A1.
-
MP5 in CoD4 > all, especially the crappy and extremely overrated AK74u (again, the rule "highest damage = best weapon" works, until they find out they can't hit shit from a distance where I can easily take them out), in MW2 I feel the actual equivalent of MW1 MP5 is the UMP45 - it's the most accurate one with good damage. MP5k is less accurate but more powerful, so it's less versatile.
-
I have seen that people just flat out die with the P90. Like, the bullets can graze them and you still got a kill.

I've just finished the single player campaign and I have forgiven IW all their sins...

In terms of playibility, mission structure, and overall level of action, yes. However, the storyline is very lacking and, as someone has already stated, is full of plot holes. I still love playing it, I just think the storyline was lacking a bit.
-

God no. It's good, just not THAT good.
-
There are some holes, but the storyline itself is... well, I'm pretty experienced in this kind of stuff and I can predict a lot, but this time I was caught off guard many, many times.
SPOILER ALERT.
First, the mission in Makarov's lair... the ending seriously left me shocked (and scared that this could be the game ending...), and it really felt terrible to "get killed" when I really felt tied to the character (unlike Allen who passes just as fast as he appears). And well, the betrayal... you work your ass off to fulfill his orders whatever they are, barely escape with the data from the hideout, and then it turns out he was a traitor.
Second, the last two American missions - it was seriously scary to walk in a completely empty city, pretty much not knowing what happened (even though we know more than Ramirez himself, we still don't know much at that point), and only a few other soldiers and hostile Russians for company. It was something I'd never experienced before - you're no longer the Rambo who can take out a whole division on his own if he feels like it, you're a lost private soldier who has no idea what's going on and if he's going to survive.
Third, the ending. For the first time ever in an FPS game, I feel like I'm not the hunter (which was always the case even when extremely outnumbered). This time I really felt hunted. There's the final objective, a horde of enemies - and this time pretty much elite soldiers - and little chances of getting out alive. Also, becoming MacTavish again, after all of this, was a kind of amazing experience (and I guess replaying the MW1 campaign will feel much different)... And at the end, I really didn't know what will happen.
END OF SPOILERS.
I'm still in a kind of shock. I've been through many great campaigns in many games, but this... it has holes and isn't perfect, right. But the experience is stronger than anything I'd ever played before, and there wasn't a single mission below "excellent".
Going to bed now, 4:25 AM is pretty late even for me. Good night.

Whats the difference between the red dot sight and the holographic scope?
Nothing besides what the actual reticule looks like, though holographics tend to have a smaller profile also, giving you better visibility when aiming.
As for the story, *SPOILERS*
While the missions themselves were usually very well done, and the more 'cinematic' moments, like the ending scene and such, were awesome, my overall mood was totally killed because I constantly found myself asking 'what the fuck is going on?'. From things like the first mission in America, where you are given no indication as to why you're fighting through a bunch of fast food restaurants, or the part where you find the VIP dead in his panic room with no explanation as to who or what he was, to Shepard going rogue for no logical reason, to even little things like an upper atmosphere nuke taking out the ISS which is 173 FUCKING MILES ABOVE THE EARTH, the story felt so ridiculously incongruent it was like the developers made the missions first and then tried to figure out how they could fit them into some semblance of a plot. Even the entire basis of the story made no fucking sense, one terrorist is found dead, shot by his own allies, at the scene of the crime, and then somehow is revealed to be an american, and that's now justification for a fully fledged war in the eyes of the world? Was he carrying his CIA badge in his pocket? Jesus christ, infinity ward, pull your head out of your ass. The first MW had a believable and congruent story that, while a little exaggerated at times, made sense, and added to the effect. This one made it feel like a really shitty episode of 24.

EVEN MORE SPOILERS
Like I say, there are some holes in the story, but some I find justified by the actual storyline - when you play as Ramirez, you're just a private soldier and even Sergeant Foley has little idea of what's going on - you just do what you're told to, what's going on among the officers and special units isn't your business really. I found that it really made me get into the character I'm playing, as I wasn't the "all-seeing eye", I knew pretty much just as little as himself. Most of the things start to make sense later in the game. The nuke itself is slightly stretched, I agree. As for Shepherd... are you serious? That's the point where everything starts to make sense, even some things from MW1. He was pulling the strings in everything, and Price realised that, but too late. It had seemed Makarov was the "clever guy" who started the war and had benefit from it, the truth was that he was just a part of Shepherd's plan. (I still want to shoot Makarov for all those civilians, though. IW don't disappoint me in MW3)
As for Allen, I also wondered about it, and I guess he must have been stupid enough to actually carry some CIA ID (just as he was naive enough to completely believe Makarov got fooled). Shot by his own allies... well, gangsters, terrorists or whatever tend to disagree on things (such as sharing profits) and it tends to end in a violent way.

Whats the difference between the red dot sight and the holographic scope?
I feel the holographic sight has slightly more zoom, is bigger allowing for a better view, and in general feels more comfortable to fire.

I don't know about the zoom, but everything else is right on.

Spoilers again
Except there's no motivation for why shepherd did what he did. OK, so he's pissed that his force got nuked in the first one, how does that translate to starting a major international war? Even though he was pulling the strings, there's no reason for it, he stood to gain nothing. Not to mention that there's no explanation of how he managed to amass some army in the middle of western asia where he can then combat the other army raised by makarov, who for all intents and purposes is nothing but a terrorist. I can understand how not having info can get you into the mind of the soldier, but opening a plot line and then never explaining it at any point in the game is just poor writing.
Like I said, the missions themselves were fantastic, but the fact that the story had virtually no logical foundation really killed the overall experience.
-
SPOILERS
Well, let's start from the beginning, which is the end in this case: before failing to kill you (that is, Soap) he says something that "five years ago he led 50000 men to die" or something similar - meaning that we was probably also in charge of everything in MW1. We could look at it two ways - either as a part of some totally insane plan, or an unplanned failure. Anyway, provoking the war was a chance for him to become a "hero" - he commanded the excellent country defence, he managed to find out it was a provocation by a psycho terrorist, he came up with a plan to find his lair and getting all the data, and finally he got rid of the terrorist, proved it to the world and was the great hero and the one who brought peace to the world again. With Price, MacTavish, Roach, Ghost and Allen dead, nobody would know what the truth was, he would become a war hero and the one who ended the war, and take all the credit for everything.
As for the army in Asia - well, he was a general and it was said that he had unlimited means, so it wasn't hard for him. Makarov was obviously a terrorist and free to kill, Price and MacTavish were announced traitors to the government, so also free to kill - he could basically keep it half-official. So, the conclusion - he had a plan to use a war to become a hero, which would probably give him far more benefit than just fame. He wanted to kill everyone who had enough knowledge or brains to find out what he was up to - in two cases, the old backstabbing tactics worked. The other two proved that it's not a good idea to mess with two soldiers who have had lots of experience in fighting when extremely outnumbered.
I feel that it was a simple plan - as Ramirez you just do what you're told to and help defend the US, as Roach (and later MacTavish) you find out what's really going on. Two entirely different people and two entirely different types of missions, giving the game a lot of variety.
Like I said, there are some holes (the nuke is still a bit puzzling to me), but the whole genius of the storyline and the mission design make them unimportant to me.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy any of this. I guess I can kind of understand Shephard's motive, but like I said, the entire basis for the war - that America was responsible for a terrorist attack on Russian soil - makes no sense. There's no way the rest of the world would go along with it based on one dead American at the scene, let alone have any kind of convincing evidence that he was being ordered by the American gov't. Not to mention that if Makarov really is this big bad terrorist, one can assume he would have been identified on the dozens of security cameras at the airport. Along with that, the entire concept of a surprise attack on America is completely ridiculous. Do you think the Air Force is really stupid enough to where they wouldn't change change the encryption keys for out sat system if it fell into the hands of the Russians? Not to mention that it's not like our sat system is the only intelligence we have. The sheer logistics in trying to set up an invasion of that magnitude - troop and air movements, establishing supplies, stockpiling and distributing equipment - all of this would have been not only noticed by America intelligence but every other intelligence service in the industrialized world. You really think the Brits don't have their own satellites pointed straight at Russia? And that they wouldn't have noticed hundreds of Russian cargo planes flying over Europe on their way to the East Coast? I mean, that first scene where you're in the jeep going to the fast food area I found myself laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it and how badly IW had drowned it over-dramatization and bad cliches.
-
Here I agree, some of these things are a bit stretched. Allen could be just the final provocation, though - after the war from MW1 and declaring Zakhaev a national hero, it was pretty obvious US and Russia were in very negative relations and it took little to spark a war. I guess a terrorist killing hundreds of civilians at an airport in Moscow found with a CIA ID could have been enough. I've no clue about how the intelligence works in reality, but I can guess that you're right in this. We don't know if the whole invasion was a surprise, or simply it was fast enough to be faster than preparing the defence - I guess that in MW2 situation Russia must have had a huge army, seeing that they were after a civil war and most likely prepared for danger. And I also guess the American technology doesn't have to be the best in everything...

See, and that's the thing. The elements of the story could work, but IW simply didn't spend the time fleshing them out enough to have them make sense. If you want to have Russian invade america, take the time to actually set up a situation where it could happen. This is Call of duty, not Red Alert.
-
Well, yes, I agree. However, like I say, the holes and weaknesses of the storyline were unable to stop the campaign to be the most awesome single player experience of my life.
-
That honor still belongs to Half Life 2 Episode 2 in my book, though MW2 was tons of fun despite it's problems.
-
What's up with the museum thing anyway?
-
Not sure, in fact.
Inspired by one of the last missions, I really started to like MP5k with silencer and laser sight (working on getting holographic though), it works pretty damn great as a stealth class. Also, TAR-21 is an excellent rifle, less accurate than M4 but it works wonders on maps like Highrise. I don't like it with any attachments for now, working to get FMJ and it will be awesome. :P
I'm pretty scared that I managed to get lvl40 in 4 days, though. :lol

Did you happen to see a flare on the floor before you kill him? Because if you did, you got pwn by Tactical Insertion. It's a new perk which you throw on the floor and you spawn right back at that place.

No, it's just one more annoyance to an already irritating multiplayer game.
-
Irritating? How so? They took out all the things I'd even consider an irritant, matyrdom, juggernaught...I suppose you still might find the noob tubes annoying. Personnaly I don't. They prevented spawn camping with painkiller.
Why is it irritating in your mind Sigz.
-
The spawning system is obviously far from perfect but I find it far better than in all previous CoD. For example I don't get spawned in the middle of enemy team, which happened in CoD4.
The tactical insertion isn't very useful to me, it takes several seconds to activate, and you get it instead of something that could be far more useful (e.g. grenade or semtex) so I basically don't use it at all.
The multiplayer overall is really damn good. Three things that I hate, but all can be dealt with:
1) Obviously, the worst scourge of CoD: camping
2) grenade launchers, too many noobs spamming them
3) akimbo shotguns - who the fuck set them to have such a ridiculous range? Akimbo MP5 has a half shorter range and it's not instant kill dammit!
The rest is great. Also the maps are very good, I only dislike Derail (boooooooooooooooooooooooooring and camp-friendly) and Skidrow (total lame campfest). Terminal, Invasion, Underpass and Highrise are excellent.

I've always had a like/hate relationship with COD's multiplayer. It had potential to be one of the best multiplayer games ever, but the endless parade of little things just destroyed it - the constant grenade/rocket spam, the entire kill streak system, the fact that there's virtually nothing in the maps that provides any semblance of cover - you duck behind a wall only to have some asshat with an M60 blindfire into it until he sees the crosshairs signal hit, etc. The games are intense and fast paced but in a way that rewards pure luck just as much as it does skill. I love chaotic games, but I don't enjoy randomness, and that's very much what COD feels like oftentimes. I've had some great multiplayer rounds in MW1, but for every minute I spent having a good time, I spent another getting pissed off at all the bullshit.

To be honest, I won't be getting MW2 now that I've seen what the multiplayer is like. What I want from a MP game is slow paced, tactical, realistic combat with an emphasis on teamwork. I can get that with the modifications provided on dedicated servers in COD2. I don't want a fast paced run and gun UT-style mess.

Rainbow Six is what you're looking for.

3) akimbo shotguns - who the fuck set them to have such a ridiculous range?
Just the other day, I was playing on Favela. I had a SCAR or a sub machine gun, and he has akimbo shotguns. I see him in the second floor window of a building, shoot him a couple times, and he has time to turn around, shoots me from two stories up with a shotgun, and kills me one shot.
-
Akimbo shotguns are only attached to the ranger and model 1887 (or whatever it's called), and personally I don't think they're overpowered. I can't comment on the model 1887, as I've only picked them up once. As for the ranger, definitely not overpowered. Two shots, and a HUGE reload time (w/o SoH). And unless you're within a couple metres, you're not killing them unless you fire both barrels. With akimbo, the reload time is only exacerbated.
The SPAS-12 has a rather large "cock" time after a shot, and you'll be lucky to get in a second shot if you miss if they are facing you. Great power and range though.
As for the AA-12. Great weapon, but with only 3 8-round cartridges, it has its limitation. Not to mention it's easy to fire more shots than you intend.
The Striker has to be my favourite, HUGE magazine, great stopping power, and and excellent fire rate.
Haven't played with the M1014 much, but it can't be much different that CoD4's version, and I wasn't a fan there.
All in all, I don't find the extended ranges overpowered, as you'd have to be an idiot running around in the open with a shotgun, and in they're meant to be overpowered in CQC.

But on the plus side: Sometime I'll get killed and spawn next to my killer. Insta-kill + Payback bonus

Do you know what's annoying? Any gun with a grenade launcher on it.

...:neverusethis:
Honestly, I NEVER used the grenade launcher in the old Call of Duty, but for whatever reason, it's the second-best attachment I've unlocked for the guns I use (red dot sight is my favorite), so I've been using it shamelessly.
1) Obviously, the worst scourge of CoD: camping
God help us if there was a single game in which everyone didn't frantically streak around the level with their trigger held down. ::) People who complain about campers must get killed by them a lot or something.
This game is pretty fun to play with a bunch of friends, but there remains little emphasis on teamwork or strategy of any kind.

Played this at my friend's house a few weeks. There was so much damn hype around this game even I was excited about it. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be just another CoD. They're all so similar anymore they should just sell them as expansion packs. Granted, I only played a few levels, so this is just my first impression.

The problem arises when the entire enemy team starts camping. Not being able to walk anywhere without some gun shoot you from a window he's been staring out of the whole game, and half your lives you get killed the second you respawn: not fun.

To be honest, I won't be getting MW2 now that I've seen what the multiplayer is like. What I want from a MP game is slow paced, tactical, realistic combat with an emphasis on teamwork. I can get that with the modifications provided on dedicated servers in COD2. I don't want a fast paced run and gun UT-style mess.
Slow-paced: no. Tactical: a bit. Realistic: partially. Emphasis on teamwork: on pub, not much.
This is not really what CoD is based on, it's a different type of teamwork. CoD2 has probably the worst MP in the history of CoD (in general I find it clearly the weakest of all CoD released on PC, contrary to all the CoD2-fanboys), and it was probably the least teamwork-oriented, so the mods must have probably changed a lot. Still, unless you play FFA or TDM, it's far from just "run and gun".
Akimbo shotguns are only attached to the ranger and model 1887 (or whatever it's called), and personally I don't think they're overpowered. I can't comment on the model 1887, as I've only picked them up once. As for the ranger, definitely not overpowered. Two shots, and a HUGE reload time (w/o SoH). And unless you're within a couple metres, you're not killing them unless you fire both barrels. With akimbo, the reload time is only exacerbated.
The point is, that if I'm standing like 8 metres away from someone, I hit him 3 times with UMP45, and then he just kills me from that distance with akimbo Rangers/model 1897 with one shot, something is wrong. Shotguns are meant to be extremely deadly, but for very short range. This is far too long, and the result is two noobs with akimbo shotguns owning our whole team on Underpass or Sub Pens. I did my best and eventually ended up getting plenty of points (it was domination) and similar stats to them, but it was clearly overpowered.
Do you know what's annoying? Any gun with a grenade launcher on it.
...:neverusethis:
Honestly, I NEVER used the grenade launcher in the old Call of Duty, but for whatever reason, it's the second-best attachment I've unlocked for the guns I use (red dot sight is my favorite), so I've been using it shamelessly.
In CoD4, I used the GL from time to time, but for me the point is simple: grenade launchers weren't designed to allow some moron to fire it randomly at whoever they see, they were meant for eliminating heavy resistance. Which is what I do, I only use it when I see a chance of 2 or more kills - activating GL is like 0.1 second, so it's pretty easy. I've also no problem with that if someone owns me and some teammates with a clever GL shot, that's what it's for. But if some noob - or worse, several noobs - just run around with GL activated and fire it at anyone they see, I really wish I could ban them. It's capable of ruining the whole game.
1) Obviously, the worst scourge of CoD: camping
God help us if there was a single game in which everyone didn't frantically streak around the level with their trigger held down. ::) People who complain about campers must get killed by them a lot or something.
This game is pretty fun to play with a bunch of friends, but there remains little emphasis on teamwork or strategy of any kind.
-J
Let's put it in a different way: if someone gets insane stats sitting in some camping spot, then someone brings him back to earth with a grenade or some clever tactics and he can't do shit when he's not camping, then again I wish I had that ban button at hand. Campers are annoying, ruin the game, are completely useless for their team in team-modes, and simply prove they're total noobs. I'm basically a total rambo and constantly on the move, I don't expect everyone to play like that, but if someone can't get a kill in any other way than camping behind the corner or in a window - grow up and learn to play. It can be annoying if there's one annoying camper, but like ZachyDou said, it can ruin the game even more than a bunch of GL-spammers if there are several campers in a team.
The source of all the problems like GL-spamming and constant camping is that a lot of people don't give a damn it's annoying and that the game is meant for fun - they're just about "kewl stats and k/d ratio, d00d!!!!11". If I know something is extremely annoying and lame, I just don't do it. This is called multiplayer, not ego-player.
-
I just get boring when I camp. I can't sit still for more than like 15 seconds at a time. I don't understand how people can stand at the same window for the duration of an entire game. Sure, you could rack up some good stats, but its not fun. I on the hand like to constantly be on the move, I am always sprinting. I have more deaths than a lot of people, but I could give a shit, I have fun playing anyway. I play a lot of domination, capture the flag, and demolition, all of which I am very aggressive in. I constantly put myself in harms way, and therefore die a lot, but in those games your death count doesn't mean shit. I still wind up with the overall highest score in the game and rank up at a pretty good pace. I just really haven't had the chance to play a whole lot in school. Over Christmas break it will be my real time to shine.
-
Amen Chino. We're going to wreck Demolition when we all get together :metal
-
Exactly like Chino, I also usually get top stats, but quite a lot of deaths. That's the whole fun of the game for me. My favourites are sabotage and domination for now, but still haven't played all the modes in MW2. Demolition sounds like "soft" S&D to me?
-
It's that exact same mentality I use a pyro on TF2 as well - run out like Rambo, die loads, but you have so much fun you just don't car :tup
-
Defending team, attacking team, switch after 2 rounds. Each player on the attacking team has a bomb to plant. Two bomb sites. Attacking team must destroy with (2?) minutes. If one site is destroyed, time is extended by (3?) minutes. Multiple bombs can be planted at once, ~50 second timer once bomb is planted. Defending team, if skilled, can win within 2 minutes by protecting both sites effectively. A very fun mode, actually. Kicks the shit out of Sabotage, which is a giant clusterfuck, especially on Afghan.
-
Ok, so like I thought, I'll give it a try today. Sabotage is excellent on fast maps, like Underpass, Terminal or Highrise, but on Derail or Afghan there's a danger of falling asleep unfortunately. Still, I like it for the simple reason that it's pretty fast and dynamic, and at the same time it's even possible to get some teamwork on pub in sabotage.
-
Demolition is easily the most fun mode. I usually have the marathon/pro perk, and the light feet one for faster movement. That combined with e p90 equals fast as hell no stop sprints. I can seriously cover the length of a map in half the time it would take someone without running perks and an assault rifle. It's nice being able to out run everyone and just constantly rack up points. Especially in CTF, yesterday we won a game 8-0, I captured 7 of them.

Whats the pro perk called, I'm not sure if I unlocked it or not.

Lightweight Pro. I believe it's supposed to give you a quick aim (a la SoH pro?) after a sprint.

I understand what you and ZD are saying, and I agree when you're talking about a game mode that has an objective other than "kill the other team" (i.e. Domination; probably my favorite right now).
But in Team Deathmatch, kill:death ratio is literally ALL that matters. If you end a game with 25 kills and 26 deaths, you've had a negative impact on the game's outcome. If you end with 25 kills and 23 deaths, you've had the same impact as your teammate who ended with 5 and 3. When you die a lot, you're just giving the other team points. If you're trying to win, it's not the best strategy. If you don't care, more power to you; it's a video game and it's supposed to be fun.
Not only that, but if a dude keeps sniping you from the same window, for the love of God, stop running in front of that window! :lol Or better yet, kill him. You know where he is and what he's trying to do.
I'm not a "camper" by any means, but I camp when the situation calls for it (for example, if there are a bunch of red dots outside a building I'm in). I usually hide, kill the first guy that comes in, then move to another part of the room, and repeat until it's safe to leave (usually the same guy will come back for revenge a few times, looking for me in the place I killed him from last time). Nothing wrong with that; I think it's pretty smart, as it seems to work without fail.
My usual strategy though, is to skirt all the way around the edge of a map and flank the other team alone. The cold-blooded perk makes this possible; it is easily the best perk in the game IMO. :biggrin:
-J
-
It's not the same. If you get a lot of kills but still a few more deaths, then you probably were dangerous enough for the enemy team to cause trouble. The deaths could be anything, like getting spawncamped for the first half of the map. Someone had to get the kills and be the one going into fight, even if he has a negative k:d, then if he was the only one who was really effective in fragging, it would probably mean that if there was another "no clue what to do" guy in his place, then the team would end up with a disaster. The rambo does the job, the rest can work for positive k:d. If all work for positive k:d, then probably all will fail in achieving it.
What you say is more like tactical waiting than camping, which is a different thing entirely. By camping I mean just sitting in the same spot for no apparent reason (or worse... it can drive me mad when I see someone camping at the BOMB in sabotage, instead of picking it up...), for a long time. This isn't it.
I like the perk, but I usually use a different set of perks for every class. I've already learned from CoD4 that extreme conditioning can be equally effective as UAV jamming - it's pretty much the same here.

Yea, I guess you dont watch his reviews often then...
In other news, my KDR broke even today, after being really really shitty right when I started playing.
I'm using an UMP45 silenced with holographic, cold-blooded, and ninja. I just run around like fucking crazy and flank the other team. Half of my kills in games now end up being knife kills.

Sounds like a sweet class. I've been getting a lot of mileage out of my "Flag Runner" class. I just go balls crazy in CTF games and small maps with it. P90 w/ Holographic - Marathon Pro / Lightweight / Ninja...I'm thinking of switching out Ninja for Commando Pro.
-
Everyone's on about the P-90 :lol Am I the only one who hasn't touched it? I'm still working on the vector achievements.
-
Is it any good?
EDIT: Also, the m93 Raffica is fucking AWESOME.
-
The Vector? I like it. Less violent sway down the sights; when compared to the MP5K, and the UMP45, I find. Acceptable clip size, and it's got a beastly reload time with SoH.
-
Nice. I'll have to try it. Just unlocked the m16 :D
-
EDIT: Also, the m93 Raffica is fucking AWESOME.
Indeed!
-
EDIT: Also, the m93 Raffica is fucking AWESOME.

Told ya, the mini-m16!
But I prefer the G18. An ungodly clip!
-
I unlocked the M16 a couple of days ago and I don't really like it. It hasn't got the kick and 'bang' that the SCAR has got.
Might try out an LMG tonight as I haven't touched them yet.
-
Yehhh, I got my first and second nukes yesterday, about damn time. The other day I was on a 24 kill streak on Afghan and I fell off the map by the walkway >:( KDR up to 2.13 now :hat Just gonna use the nuke till I get 10 and get the emblem and challenge, although I'm not sure if you keep your completed challenges after you prestige (you do keep your emblems.)
-
You don't keep the challenges as far as I'm aware.
-
I have 2 SMG classes:
1) UMP45 with marathon, light feet/lightweight/whatever and jamming (?)
2) MP5k with silencer, sleight of hand, cold-blooded and ninja
The UMP45 works awesome with maps that require a lot of running (e.g. Underpass), MP5k for more closed, very short-range maps (Favela, Karachi [?]). I have all five SMGs unlocked already, but don't feel like using the other three atm.
As for sidearm SMGs, PP2000 > all. Especially in akimbo version.
And I've finally got ACR unlocked! :biggrin:
-
Your MP5 class is made of win. That's currently my Search and Destroy class.
-
Yep, I like it, however I'm torn between Scavenger (is it the right name?) and Sleight of hand, in the first case I often end up fighting with M9 when there's more than 2-3 opponents, in the other I end up fighting with M9 after more than one minute of staying alive. I hate that they put sleight of hand, scavenger and marathon all into one group of perks, as my MP5 favourite for ages in MW1 was actually these three perks (bandolier, sleight of hand, extreme conditioning) and it would work awesome here as well. Well, life is brutal :P
I've tested the ACR a bit already and it's totally awesome. The firepower isn't insane but good enough, but the accuracy... I can actually take out snipers with continuous fire throughout the whole map with it. Will be definitely my favourite for open maps, I'll see if it works as great with ACOG as in single player, otherwise I'll stick to laser/holographic.
And I started to like Intervention, it's a lot of fun.
-
It works very good with ACOG, since it has little to no recoil.
-
Haven't tried the ACR with the ACOG much. Or maybe it's been too long since I've played it (Saturday :-\)
I believe I prefer the M4A1. A little cliché, but an excellent gun it remains.

@antigoon: Id switch out Ninja for Commando. Personally, if its not a stealth class, I dont really see the point.
I also personally dont like the "Scrambler". Now, instead of just jamming UAV so you dont show up, the radar goes all fuzzy, and it gives you away. The people get ready maping doorways if their radar starts going crazy. Id rather use cold-blooded and a silencer.

Agreed, but it's pretty useful. I know myself that even if I'm alert that my radar is going crazy, I still don't see anything on it, and that can be confusing - overall I find it a useful perk.

I was wrong: I'm using scrambler pro which is great because of the delayed claymore thing.

I didnt know that that was the Pro... Thats a bit better, I guess.
Well, I'm off to play :D

Yep, it's pretty useful.
Ok, I'm going to do the campaign for the second time now. MACTAVISH, I'M COMING BAAAAACK :D
Edit: already past the Favela mission... man, the single player is extremely addictive.
-
Fwah!
I think I've found my niche in multiplayer with the SMGs.
I started using the UMP w/ Marathon, Cold Blooded, and Ninja for my sneaky class. I'll probably throw a silencer on when I unlock it.
-
Such an awesome class. I used to use the SCAR a lot, but now that I've discovered my UMP45 stealth class, that's all I use. For sure throw a silencer on it, and if you need a sight switch out for Bling.
@Darkes7: Yes. Yes it is.
I sat down and played through the entire single player campaign without fully realizing how much time was passing. Once I beat it I suddenly realized I had been playing for over 6 hours.

Info on the Holographic Sight:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 it is available in the single-player Campaign, Special Ops, and multiplayer. It is very similar to the Red Dot Sight but with a different appearance and an increase in aim assist on consoles; unlike the Call of Duty 4 version, the optic's relative size on the screen is smaller, as is the reticle, and the peripheral vision is far greater than before.
The Holographic Sight is now an attachment in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer and is awarded for getting 60 kills while aiming down the Red Dot Sight. Unlike the RDS, the reticule in the middle doesn't sway when turning, and while it doesn't seem to have a greater zoom it does appear to be more accurate, making it often favored over its previous game counterpart. Some people find it easier to see their target and quickly find the reticle due to the semi-opaque "cut-out" cross hair which is a small circle with a larger circle around it. Others find that the larger sight actually obscures the target making it hard to aim precisely and aquire targets at range. As compared to a real Holographic Sight, the larger circle in the game is much closer to the smaller circle, which is why the larger one obscures the target so much. In the end, the preference between this sight and Red Dot Sight depends on whether you need long range pinpoint accuracy and have time for the sway to settle or whether you will be firing on the move.
In the campaign it can be found attached to weapons used by various forces, such as Russian (both police and military), US Army Rangers, and even the Brazilian favela gangs.

I. JUST. GOT. A. NUKE. What a warm, fuzzy feeling :heart
And it was beautiful, went 30/1 all told on FFA :hat
-
How exactly does it work? It just owns the whole enemy team at once? :P
Btw, I feel they should have swapped the EMP with AC130 and Apache. The EMP is pretty strong and useful but still pretty rational (my team got EMP'd a few days ago... well, it's basically no HUD at all, which is a serious disadvantage), and the AC130 and Apache are ridiculously lame and overpowered, capable of owning the whole game. I think 10 kills for EMP and 15 kills for Apache/AC130 would be far better.
Thanks for the info on the holographic sight, it makes sense to me. One thing I've noticed, the zoom is apparently exactly the same with laser/holographic in MP, but in SP the holographic sight gives pretty much ACOG-zoom.
Talking about ACOG, ACR with ACOG = totally awesome. I'm going to stick to it, it works wonders on open maps.
-
Bomb goes down, world slows down, everyones dies, you get the kills, and your team wins ;D

Ah, right. Winning the whole game in any mode? Sounds pretty powerful but still I prefer getting a Pave Low or stealth air strike once a few maps rather than a nuke... like never :P (my longest killing spree is 18 or something like that I think)

:lol right, I can understand it. I'm not the type for insanely long kill-streaks, though (however I sometimes get them if the map is good enough... and basically only with rifles, with SMGs I always get insane amounts of frags and not many less deaths). Currently I'm using UAV, Harrier and Stealth air strike, works pretty well.
The usefulness of air strikes depends a lot on the map, game type and situation. On Afghan for example they don't do much, but imagine what happens when you use an air strike with bomb planted on Invasion sabotage...
EDIT: guys, Intervention with thermal sight is AWESOME. Try it, if you haven't yet.

-
Ive started just using smaller kill streaks. I get up to 4 or 5 usually every life or so, but i almost never get anything above that. If you place turrets right or use Predators, you can usually get a couple extra kills out of a life, as well. And then with care packages you can hope for something better.
-

I've been using Sentry Gun, Harrier Strike, and Pave Low as my kill streak rewards. I've unlocked a couple others, but I made the mistake of wasting the unlocks before I knew how good the thing I was unlocking was.
Don't know if I could ever get the nuke. My best kill streak is 23 so far, and I did it on Skid row. Probably my favorite level right now.
Also, does anybody know whether or not care package things count toward your kill streak? My buddy and I concluded that they do not, but maybe someone here knows for sure?
-J
-
I'm pretty sure they don't.
-
How do you mean? Like a kill from a predator obtained from a care package contributing towards getting your pavelow at 9?
I can't see why not.
-
How do you mean? Like a kill from a predator obtained from a care package contributing towards getting your pavelow at 9?
Yeah. I thought I noticed that they weren't counting when I played with some friends the other night, but never got to test it. And by the time my buddy and I started trying to keep track tonight, we only played a few more games and were struggling to get to the next kill streak to find out! :lol

Also, does anybody know whether or not care package things count toward your kill streak? My buddy and I concluded that they do not, but maybe someone here knows for sure?
-J
Similar like me then, although I don't really like sentry gun and I feel I couldn't live without UAV. I get 3 kills per spawn very often, and for me knowledge is the most important. I generally like the killstreaks that just let me call them and return into action, I'm pretty impatient and don't like stopping to game to make it work (which is why I don't like care packages or Predator as my killstreaks).
I think the care package killstreaks don't count. Even one of the tooltips when loading the game says so, IIRC.
And I totally hate Skidrow with passion. Easily the worst map in MW2, total lame campfest. It's even worse than Backlot in MW1.
-
They dont count. For some odd reason IW didnt want people to actually benefit completely from anything.
-
It's pretty bad you can't get a 11-kill streak and unlock your AC130 by using AC130 you found in a box you got for a 4-kill streak ::)

Meh, Call of Duty doesn't do alot to me. Just your typical 'amazing' shooter I guess.

Which parts have you played? I've been following the series from CoD1 (or in fact earlier, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was basically made by people who later founded Infinity Ward), and it's easily the most consistent series ever created. Don't look at the new ones only, they're based mostly on multiplayer which changes things a bit.
-
I played CoD1, absolutely loved it, but when CoD3 and MW showed up, well... It pretty much turned into a pure FPS, and, like you said, focused very much on multiplayer... :sadpanda:
-
Oh, right, I kinda know what you mean. Haven't played CoD3 (I'm PC-only), but MW is more than a typical FPS if given a chance, with a very cinematic action and it's pretty hard to survive without some tactics (unless you play on one of the first two difficulty levels :P). I think you should give it another try, it's worth it, and it has a pretty unique atmosphere imo ;)
-
Sure it's great and amazing, but gameplay and graphics is as far as it goes, if you get me..
-
Logging in for the first time in a few days.
-
Fiery, The Goon, you, and myself. Lookin' good! If only I didn't have a bit of studying left to do. If you all are still on in a couple hours, we should get together and pwn.
-
Ah, right. Winning the whole game in any mode? Sounds pretty powerful but still I prefer getting a Pave Low or stealth air strike once a few maps rather than a nuke... like never :P (my longest killing spree is 18 or something like that I think)

Yeah for now I don't like having to go find a safe corner to use my shit in and risk getting it stolen. But the ones you control are often the most effective, so I may start using some of them eventually.
And I totally hate Skidrow with passion. Easily the worst map in MW2, total lame campfest. It's even worse than Backlot in MW1.
No way dude! Domination on Skid Row is awesome, and it's the opposite of a campfest. Everybody tries to take the middle flag in that hallway that has a million ways to get to. It's total mayhem.

I was gonna go play but my dad is watching a movie on my T.V. :censored
-
Underpass and Estate are the maps I really don't like.
-
Both I can deal with, but their not great.
-
I can't stand Derail. It's always a sniper campfest. No one moves.
-
I like Estate, but I too find Underpass rather annoying. I never do well on it.
Derail is a love/hate. I hear what you're saying with the snipers, but they really only camp 3-4 spots. Just keep out of LoS.
-
Underpass and Estate are the maps I really don't like.
-
Underpass is alright, but not the best them of the multiplayer maps.
Derail is only really fun on Hardcore S&D because of my ghost class I'm oh so very fond of.
Estate is fun, when the entire other team isn't camping.
-
Oh, and let me now voice my untold disgust for Rust: It's a tiny clusterfuck of a map only suitable for 3v3, max.

-J
You know, it might seem so, but...
1) once middle is taken, there is usually one camper at the minigun, several campers in the corridor upstairs, and also several campers of the opposite team on the other side. Usually it's like chess in there.
2) the flag on one of the corners (don't remember if it's A or C now) which can be accessed by a pretty low and narrow corridor, is *always* camped by some noob. If you have the opposite flag and you have to go either for B or this one, it's far from fun.
3) and then, the last flag is always camped by the minigun and some campers in the upstairs corridor. That's it.
There are also lots of other camp spots (e.g. the sandbags), making the map a one big campfest. It's pretty much death without smoke grenades, 100% stealth class, becoming a camper, or all three. I hate it. Sabotage is even worse there, TDM is the only partially playable.
As for the other maps, like I said I dislike Derail for being extremely boring and also camp-friendly. I'm also slowly starting to dislike Estate as well for the same reasons.
Underpass is one of my favourites, pretty fast map with little camping. Insanely intense on sabotage.
-
I think you're mad Darkes :P
I love SkidRow for the neat combination of straight, open areas for assault rifle/sniper combat, and hyper-compact corners and rooms for SMG/shotty action.
-
FUCK ESTATE.
-
I can't stand Derail. It's always a sniper campfest. No one moves.
Same here. Exept the day where I was 35-1 :P I still don't how I did that because everytime I played on that map again I'm not able be good.
-
I now have 3 smg classes :lol
UMP45 SD w/ Holographic + CB pro + Ninja Pro for sneaking
UZI w/ Red Dot + i dunno the perks for being awesome
P90 w/ Holo + Marathon Pro + Lightweight Pro + Scrambler Pro for being a speed demon.
-

The combination is fine, the problem is that if I feel like participating in a lottery or a game of chess, I don't play CoD for this. This map is a combination of these two. It's totally awful and like I say even worse than backlot - and I thought it's not possible.
I now have 3 smg classes :lol
UMP45 SD w/ Holographic + CB pro + Ninja Pro for sneaking
UZI w/ Red Dot + i dunno the perks for being awesome
P90 w/ Holo + Marathon Pro + Lightweight Pro + Scrambler Pro for being a speed demon.
I have two:
Uzi with holographic + akimbo M9 + marathon pro/lightweight pro/ninja pro
UMP45 with silencer + akimbo M9 + sleight of hand pro/cold-blooded/commando (?)
The remaining ones:
TAR-21 with FMJ/shotgun + akimbo M9 FMJ + [the perk lowering killstreak requirements by 1, no idea what's the English name] pro/scrambler pro
ACR with ACOG + Stinger + scavenger pro (if I'm getting the name right)/stopping power pro/steady aim pro
Intervention with thermal sight + akimbo M9 + marathon pro/stopping power pro/steady aim pro
I decided to drop the MP5k. It's not "real" MP5 :P anyway, and it's clearly weaker than the above, eating too much ammo and with not really great accuracy. Uzi works awesome as a combat SMG with excellent fire rate and good accuracy, UMP45 has an insane accuracy and pretty slow ammo use.
Btw, akimbo M9 is clearly the best sidearm in game. It's totally AWESOME. It takes a bit of training to click very quickly with LMB + RMB at once, but the damage is excellent, with a very decent accuracy. I use it for all classes, with the exception of Stinger with my ACR class.
And a question - what do I need to do the challenge for cold-blooded? I don't really understand the description and apparently I'm progressing very slowly.
-
My ghost class (and favourite class):
Primary: Tar-21 with Bling perk [Heartbeat Sensor + Suppressor]
Secondary: M1014 with Bling Pro [Silencer + Red Dot Sight]
Cold-Blooded Pro
Ninja Pro
Semtex Grenade + Stun Grenades
-
I change classes according to the map and mood. The Uzi-running class is for mostly short-range maps involving a lot of running (Underpass, Invasion, Scrapyard). UMP45-silenced is for typical short-range maps (Favela, Sub Pens). TAR-21 is for maps combining med-long range with short-range (Highrise, Rundown,*sigh* Skidrow). ACR is for very open maps (Afghan, Derail). Sniper is when I feel like sniping. That's it basically, I've always used all five classes in CoD4, in CoD5 all seven. :lol

Something funny just happened to me, not sure if it's common knowledge and only I didn't know, or you'll find it interesting too...
The map was Terminal, I managed to call a Harrier for 7-kill streak, it was in the air for a while... then the enemy called an Apache (you know, the manually controlled). A moment later, on the top right there is a message "Darkes7 destroyed the chopper". I didn't know that Harriers can take out choppers :lol
-
Speaking of akimbo guns, I might add that that is one of the most fucking retarded things I have ever seen in a Call of Duty game.
-
Disagreed, except for the shotguns it's perfectly balanced and really clever. It's not really realistic in case of SMGs or Desert Eagle, but... CoD has never really been a simulator. The knife itself is the perfect example.
-
It's not a matter of balance, it's simply presentation. The game, while not a simulator, is ostensibly a realistic game in its presentation - animations, weapons, etc. Playing a round where everything looks realistic like that, then seeing some asshat running around with dual SMGs totally kills that for me.
And as for the knives, they'd be the second most retarded thing in a Call of Duty game.
-
Whats with the knife you guys are talking about? Is it just the normal close range knife or the pistol one? Either way how is it unfair?
-
I think they mean the throwing knife, in which case I haven't seen anyone who uses it.
-
I meant normal knife. Show me anyone who can slash with it holding a rifle or something with two hands in a time of 0.1 second.
The throwing knife is perfectly good, I use it with my silencer class. Used properly it's an awesome tool.

Not sure how much it's possible in reality, but still the spread is insane so I don't treat it as totally ridiculous in game. CoD has always been more of a "movie game" than a simulator, and dual SMGs aren't uncommon in action movies, even the ones trying to be more realistic.
Throwing knives - not. The normal knife is the most retarded thing and I feel it's lame since the day I got CoD4.

Even so, why is that so bad? Its pretty useless unless the other person doesnt see you or you just turn the corner into them... Its not like you get killed over and over again by knifes in a game anyways. Happens to me maybe once a game normally.
-

Well, you need to do the following actions:
- get one hand away from rifle, and holding it with the other - in case of rifles or SMGs I can believe it, but I doubt anyone is able to hold a light machine gun with one hand, as they weigh like 10-15 kg
- find the knife with the other hand
- draw it and slash it.
I'd believe in more than 1 second, but not the speed in CoD, sorry.

It's extremely annoying when you fire several bullets at someone, but e.g. you misaimed and all he does it WOOOOAAARRRR DIEEEE and kills you in less than half a second with knife.
Like one guy in CoD5 once put it, a hit from a rifle in the chest is less deadly in this game than a knife in the arm.

Dude, it's a game! Not a war simulation.

I know it's not "realistic", but... How many times does it really happen? Does it really bother you that much?
Is this actually a problem, or just something else people can bitch about?

Apparently you guys have never had to deal with a knife-only noob with juggernaut and extreme conditioning in CoD4.

Exactly. Not a big deal.
(That was directed more towards Darkes7, though)
EDIT: No... Cant say that anyone ever did that. I cant imagine that would work terribly well. It would be a shitload of fun, though.

Most of the time the knives are just retarded, but I've had many times where you get knife only asshats that can really ruin the experience. It doesn't matter how powerful your gun is when you're standing three feet away and the other guy has an instakill knife that teleports him directly to you.
-
I don't know, it sounds like that was a PC only experience. I never saw a guy who use that kind of class.

There is a build in Modern Warfare 2 - Tactical Knife, Commando, Marathon, and Lightweight - that we have taken to calling the Witch. They are so called because this nefarious combination results in half-human abominations that can a) run faster than normal, forever, b) fall without damage, and c) teleport to targets killing them instantly. If you're wondering what something like this is doing in a "shooter," whose name ostensibly delineates the standard mode of interaction, well, let us know what you come up with. We're thinking about starting a support group.
Looking at the rest of the game, the knife is designed to be a reset. Like two misbehaving children, the use of it puts space between the two players, reverting to the optimal ranges of interdiction. Gears of War offers a similar mode of resolution, but in exchange for your chainsaw kill, you've got several seconds of full paralysis while the animation plays out - a few seconds you typically don't survive. By contrast, in Modern Warfare 2 - a game which, whatever liberties it took during its narrative, is not actually science fiction - allows players of infinite stamina to teleport and murder people.
The game's entire knife dialectic exists outside of the game proper. There are so many ways to make fine adjustments to your damage output with firearms that blades doing what is essentially infinite damage makes the rest of the game look like kabuki.
As mad as I'd like to be at these wicked sorcerers, I can't be - not really. All they've done is turn the game's subtext into the focus. They haven't modified any binaries. They're simply playing the game as delivered. We lost a single round to these kinds of tactics, and haven't lost another, but they turn it into some other game I don't have a lot of interest in. I wouldn't like it if a Chaos Marine drop pod landed on Highrise, either. Actually, that might be okay.

What's this teleport nonsense, and what is the "tactical knife"?
-
What's this teleport nonsense, and what is the "tactical knife"?
The tactical knife is an attachment for the magnum, USP .45 and the M9, it quickens the slash of your knife.
The "teleport" they mention is the lunge when you knife someone, so named because sometimes it feels like they couldn't have possibly closed that distance in that time.

Ohhh. OK, I just watched some videos of the tac knife, and while it does seem a bit cheap, I really like the quickness of the knife mechanic in the game. The lungey bit is true and reminds me of Halo 2's ridiculous melee range.

The striker is my new favorite weapon.

So what makes your online 'Score' go up?
-
So a played against my first knife only guy two days ago (Witch, was it?).
He killed me maybe once or twice, and the other ten times I just shot him in the face as he tried running halfway across the stage at me. Not really a problem.
-
So what makes your online 'Score' go up?
I think it's most things that gives you points. Kills, all bonuses, (damage absorbed by a shield, payback, headshot, buzzkill, knife kill, helicopter machinicide, capture point, flag capture, etc.), bonus points gives at the end of the match, I'd imagine. I think challenges could go either way.
-
That's strange because I'm 6 or so levels higher than a friend but his 'Score' is much higher than mine. The numbers you mention are directly attributed to XP but 'Score' seems unrelated.
-
There's got to be some correlation. I'm about 20 levels below a friend, and I have ~12,000 score points on him. Have you compared your win/kill numbers and ratios? Remember you don't lose any points for dying.
-
Good point. He's got a lot more kills than me. I play mainly S&D whereas he plays more Ground War type matches.
-
There's got to be some correlation. I'm about 20 levels below a friend, and I have ~12,000 score points on him. Have you compared your win/kill numbers and ratios? Remember you don't lose any points for dying.
When you play Headquarters you're getting points in bunches.

Unless your team is always as retarded as those I play with. I avoid it like the plague, FFA all the way. Always a good KDR, and my Win/Lose ratio doesn't get raped.
-
Oh yeah! I liked playing Headquarters and Domination in CoD4... but there are so many retarded people who play those in MW2.
-
Honestly, there will be times when the entire team moves in one fucking direction, and I'm the only one trying to flank, or get around behind the flag/HQ.
And at the start of a Domination, let ONE person cap the flag closest to your spawn, as having 5 people attack the highly-contested middle ground flag is a must. If you don't cap that flag first, it doesn't bode well for your victory.
-
I may be wrong, but I believe your score only takes into account your kills. 100 points for a kill, and 20 points per assist. 5 kills and 3 assists always gives me 560 points.
Any "extra" points only count towards increasing your level. These include bonus points given for special kills, challenges achieved, match bonuses, etc.
-
So a played against my first knife only guy two days ago (Witch, was it?).
He killed me maybe once or twice, and the other ten times I just shot him in the face as he tried running halfway across the stage at me. Not really a problem.
I'm definitely good at the "knife guy" class. In TD I'll get 20+ kills and, it varies a lot, but around 10 deaths. I'll get ~40 in ground war depending on the game type, it's much easier on domination.

I just played against someone using the javelin glitch yesterday.
I was wondering how he was shooting it so quickly, seemingly after he died...
-
The mini-uzi is quickly becoming my favorite weapon. That thing is an absolute beast.
-
I've started to love Sniping. Hated it in COD4 but it's growing into a favourite class. Intervention with FMJ and Thermal (originally using the silencer but the decreased range affected my kills quite a bit).
IW seem to have designed all the maps so that there are no real sniping spots anymore though. Every room has two entrances, every corridor camping spot is obscured by a crate, increased window amount etc. It's a pain but it keeps you moving I suppose. That extra claymore would have been very usefull.
-
Well I finished it on Veteran. Man was it really quite easy! didn't take me long at all.
I thought the hardest bit would be defending the DSM...but it was a breeze - set up claymores and sit at the top of the stares picking them off. Easy! Very enjoyable single player - half way through spec ops and that is proving to be the most fun. I have a few multi matches and they have been a little more difficult but I need to get more practice in lol!
-
So I finally got the game. I have it for the 360, I am not anything great at it since I didn't really play the first one very much. My xbox live tag is cramx4 ill probably be on late tonight when I get home from work if anyone else is on.

I've started to love Sniping. Hated it in COD4 but it's growing into a favourite class. Intervention with FMJ and Thermal (originally using the silencer but the decreased range affected my kills quite a bit).
IW seem to have designed all the maps so that there are no real sniping spots anymore though. Every room has two entrances, every corridor camping spot is obscured by a crate, increased window amount etc. It's a pain but it keeps you moving I suppose. That extra claymore would have been very usefull.
It took me a very long time to appreciate sniping in CoD4, but in MW2 I also loved it pretty quickly. It's much more challenging (the only two maps that can be considered "sniper maps" are Wasteland and Afghan), but still a lot of fun. I think I'll give the M21 a try now, I loved it in single player.
Btw, I find the idea of just one claymore and instead of grenade to be awesome. It's much more balanced and doesn't make claymores the lamest thing in game. I actually use it with my sniper class, when I never touched it in CoD4.
And any TAR-21 fans around here? I find it to be an excellent weapon on many maps, pretty decent accuracy and great firepower. I'm working on getting extended mags, then I'll make it FMJ + extended mags and I'll be unstoppable :P
-
My brother finally bought it so now I can play it a lot more because I've been borrowing it from people since it's came out. :)

-
I just played against someone using the javelin glitch yesterday.
I was wondering how he was shooting it so quickly, seemingly after he died...
That's the thing, it happens after you die. What they do is hold up a semtex in their other switch weapon, so that when they die the semtex explodes and thus explodes the Javelin, killing any player within a 100ft radius. It's become the new Martyrdom it's so terrible. I really hope IW makes a patch for this because it's making the game unbearable.
-
Still gotta wait 20 days for this, hopefully I won't get left behind in MP by everyone else!
I didn't search through the thread since my last post in it, but is the DTF clan going to happen? Or has that idea been shot down?

Any SMG, pistol w/ tac knife, marathon, lightweight, commando. Super fast movement, faster knife that reaches farther. It's total win. And with pro marathon and commando, it's even better ;)

IF I GET KILLED ONE MORE FUCKING TIME BY THAT GOD DAMN JAVELIN GLITCH, I AM GOING TO THROW MY XBOX OUT THE GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING WINDOW!
-
It has to be some console-based glitch, because I've never seen it on PC.
PC - consoles 100000:1 :neverusethis:
-
The online is really starting to lose its charm for me. Every so often you'll play a fun game, but when most of the time half their team is either using the Javelin glitch, or using the Tactical Knife class, it really stops being fun.
I definitely understand what everyone was talking about before. When its one person on the other team, thats not that bad. But when half the team your playing against consistently uses them, it really starts to take away from the fun.
-
What are these knife classes and javelin glitches?
Will this be patched?
-
What should be patch is those fucking 1800s shotguns!!!
They have the range of a rifle!!
-

Knife class is a pistol w/ tac knife, marathon, lightweight, and commando.
Javelin is a glitch where the person exploiting the glitch will automatically shoot a javelin when they are killed, and they are still able to knife in the meantime. So they go to kill you, and then if you kill them they shoot a javelin at your feet.
Stuff like this is exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about that totally kills the game.
-
Wow! I haven't seen that Javelin glitch.
I thought it was that sometimes you can shoot a Javelin and it can kill 3-4 guys on the other team and then sometime you do the same thing and blow yourself up.
-

Akimbo, those things are the worst, I actually forgot about those.
Playing games with the other team using tac knife, akimbo shotgun, and javelins is making me want to just stop playing the game.

Yeah, I search and found a video of it. First of all, it's quite complicated what you have to do and the guy who did the video had the glitch and still lost the match. :lol

Can you do it during an online match?
I looked at a video and it slowed down the game ridiculous amounts.

Agreed, the most retarded thing ever. All the other akimbo weapons are very well-balanced, but this is totally ridiculous.

Attack Heli/Harrier, and Chopper Gunner/AC?
Harrier only for me. The heli seems pretty weak in MW2, and I don't want the 11-kill streaks because 1) they're totally overpowered 2) I hardly ever get longer kill-streaks than 7 kills, I'm not the type for long kill-streaks. UAV and counter-UAV are my other two :P

I made the mistake of choosing Attack Heli over Harrier earlier on. I didnt really know what the Harrier was, so I just went with Heli...
Now I have to wait like 10 levels if I want to unlock it, but I also want to unlock Counter UAV to use instead of Predator. It would go really well with my Stealth class, which I use almost all the time.
-
If you have a stealth class then you're using Scrambler. Counter-UAV would be a little redundant, wouldn't be?
-

Definitely. Your wasting a kill streak.
-
Well, I think not really:
1) Personally I use ninja pro for my stealth class, scrambler is far better for the "combat" classes (UMP45 with laser sight and TAR21 FMJ for me), as it causes chaos but alerts the enemy you're around
2) Scrambler works only on short distance, and only the opponents around you - counter-UAV affects their whole team, giving your team a significant advantage, especially if your team has UAV on (unless both teams are counter-UAV'd, happened to me yesterday and it was pretty funny :lol )
-
Yea I dont use Scrambler. I use Ninja pro. SO much better for a stealth class.
Ninja + Cold Blooded + Silencer + UAV Jammer = Total pwnage.

Yeah, it works but I don't like using it.
I like that they can see me on the UAV, so they can come to me and I can kill them. Easier for me, I don't like having to run around the map all match doing cardio.
-
*cough*camping*cough*
-
*cough*camping*cough*
The only time I do camp is when I snipe.
If not I am moving around the map, but with having no silencer on the weapon I don't have to be RUNNING around the map to find people.
-
I have two UMP45 classes, one is the combat-runner one (marathon/light feet/scrambler), the other one is stealth, and I choose it according to the map. Closed maps like Favela or Sub Pens work perfectly with stealth, but on Underpass for example speed and accuracy is far more important. Stealth is useful but often there are better options.

No, I totally understand, Im only joking.
I only have one stealth class, the others are just regular classes; LMG, sniping, whatever.
I do have a "Running" class, with akimbo P90, Steady Aim, Marathon, and Lightweight. I use it during CTF, sometimes Domination, stuff like that. I love being able to move fast, and often though; maybe thats just me though.
-
I seriously disliked it in CoD4, but I'm really starting to love the M1014 in MW2. It's really damn good on short range, and now it sounds like a shotgun and not a plastic toy pistol.
-
Seeing as there were only 2 in COD4, and neither was really great, I never used them.
I like the shotguns in MW2 though, and the fact that they're your secondary and not your primary is so much better. The SPAZ and the Striker (think that's what they're called) are both pretty good (thats all I've unlocked up to).
-
SPAS-12 and AA-12, the Striker comes 3rd.

W1200 was excellent if used properly. Not just on pubs, it was awesome how much chaos I could cause with it on Crash S&D matches :lol
I don't really like most of them, the M1014 is second I liked. I used SPAS12 for a while and it felt very good, but it's too slow, unfortunately. The others are too much spray-oriented for me.

Actually, this tactic can work very well. Tricking the opponent into thinking you're somewhere, then guarding that area from somewhere else. It's a tactic I use quite often when playing Cage matches.
-
Microsoft have stated that anyone caught using the Javelin glitch will be banned for 24 hours on a first offense and up to two weeks(?) for repeated offenses. IW have also said that they will patch the game so it's stopped.
But for now, do what I do. Report the players and send them a nice message along the lines of 'LOL njoi ur bann n00b'
-
That's exactly what I do chturbuoy or however you write that! And yes, perfect message for the n00bs!
-
Not that they're really justified with banning people.
People find glitches to get on roofs and stuff, so why should people be banned for hitting y button after holding a semtex? Not that I'm defending those who use it; far from it, but it just seems a little excessive. Just patch the game and then that'll be the end of that.
-
I think it's about time those who deliberately use glitches to their advantage get what they deserve. Can't people just play the game?

This game is basically unplayable online right now due to people exploiting for the nuke. Happened to me 4 times in a row. This is fucking garbage.
-
^Holy shit I haven't played in several days, but now I don't even want to if this bullshit is going on.
-J
-
I've only seen the nuke used once, it's extremely difficult to get I guess.
-
Four games in a row is truly ridiculous.
25 kills in a row is no easy feat; even though an "automatic win" isnt really fair, it's not like it usually happens every game or anything. Ive had it happen twice maybe, at most. Closest I've ever come to it is a 20 kill streak.
-
My longest kill streak is 21, I have a friend who has gotten 9 nukes already. Don't ask me how!
-
h4x
-
It can actually be pretty easy on certain maps. Once you get AC/Chopper Gunner, on some maps where you can see the whole field all at once (or your teammates have the other team cornered), a few good shots will the AC will almost get you up to 25 kills.
-
The problem is that if the other team gets completely owned, in most game modes it probably means your team wins before you can get the nuke.
-
Isnt that good? I'd rather have my team win for real rather than always end the game early because someone got a nuke.
-
Isnt that good? I'd rather have my team win for real rather than always end the game early because someone got a nuke.
To me, winning is winning. Doesn't matter if it was points or a nuke, I'll take the win.
-
I'm just saying that for you personally as a player on your team whos not getting a nuke, it's probably funner to keep playing and keep getting kills, especially if things are going your way.
I dont give a shit about my win/loss ratio, seeing as mine is like 0.3 or something, so I dont personally like it.
-
Isnt that good? I'd rather have my team win for real rather than always end the game early because someone got a nuke.

-
If someone gets 25 kills in an ac-130, they fucking deserved it because a) it does take SOME skill to pick people off with it and b) if no one in the game has a stinger, that's their fault
-
I don't get why you would ban people or even punish people for using a glitch. It's just playing the game the way it is. If IW wants to patch it, then that's the end of that. But if not, then people should be able to use whatever method is in the game.

It's possible to shoot the AC130? It's very far away from the map, the Stinger doesn't want to target it. The Apache is pretty easy, but not the AC130.

Using cheats is pretty much the same thing, it's just "playing the game the way it is". It just takes more time and effort to exploit than simple glitches.
-
This really only exemplifies one of the many problems with not having dedicated servers. You wouldn't have to wait for a patch, you could just votekick/ban the guy from the server for glitching, assuming an admin wasn't there to do it himself. Oh well, way to fail at life IW.

Yeah, it really bothers me how they truly fucked over the PC community with the release of Modern Warfare 2.
-
I agree with this, even though I really like MW2. The lack of dedicated servers is still bad, and will remain such.
-
Also, getting rid of the lean feature really pissed me off in SP, especially since my first instinct was to lean, leading to me either knifing the wall or flashbanging myself. derp.
-
I got used to it eventually. Although I've never had the problem you mentioned since I've always played on arrows and leaning is delete/page down for me, which remain unbound in MW2.
-
I've always played on arrows
wat
-
Just this. As far as I can remember, like 10 years ago all games used arrows by default, then suddenly everyone went WSAD (or just the people I know were like that - but I'm pretty certain that it was common). I could never change the habit of using arrows and I find it far more comfortable, especially with the keyboard settings I always use (shift - reload, enter - sprint, ctrl - crouch, num0 - prone, delete/pgdown - lean, insert (or delete, if the game has no leaning) - use, the rest of num keyboard - weapons). It's never given me any trouble at all and I can't see how using WSAD is better. If I wanted to use the letter keyboard for playing I'd choose EDSF anyway, it feels much more useful with more keys around.

Hey, I mean whatever works for you, but looking at that setup at least I have to stretch to hit a lot of those keys, I can't see how it'd be comfortable. With WASD your pinky naturally rests on shift for sprinting, your thumb naturally rests on spacebar to jump, and for most actions (lean, reload, sprint, change weapons) you never even have to move your hand at all, allowing your other fingers to be able to hit other buttons easily. Not to to mention that your hands are now ridiculously close together unless you have your keyboard skewed way over to the side.
Games have been using WASD for years. It wasn't as common until Quake came out in 1996, but I'm pretty sure Ultima used it by default, and that out in 93.

I don't mind the "camping" so much. From what I've seen, every map makes it difficult to camp in "safe" place. Sure, you can perch in a window, the top of a building, etc. but there are at least two ways to get to any given place. If you choose to camp a spot, be prepared to get knifed in the back.

I do. It slows down the game too much.

Sneaking up behind some douchebag camper and just slicing his Jugular is just the best feeling in that game.

So my MW2 disc seems to not work. My xbox can't seem to read the disc, and there aren't any scratches or anything on the disc itself. And it's not my xbox, seeing how any other one of my games seems to work fine with my xbox.
No idea what the shit happened, but I better not have to pay for a new copy of this game.
-
No warranty on it? That sucks.
My old xbox slowly started to decide that it couldn't read discs. Certain games would work, and some would almost never work. Eventually it would just never read anything. Hope that doesnt happen to you.
-
So the staying power of this game is already starting to decline. This didn't happen with COD:MW... I'm hoping for some new maps pretty soon.
-
I know what you mean. I'm already bored of it, to be honest.
That could be me though. I just can't seem play games for long lengths of time (without getting bored) any more.
-
I'm no where near being bored with this game yet. I'm still having a great time playing.
-
Well I'm 65/66, got Red Tiger on my SCAR, done a load of challenges and got the Mastadon Title and Devil Horn hand Emblem (which are the two I wanted), and have a 20.60~% accuracy.
What else is there to do? :(
inb4 Fall camo, Red Tiger is cooler.
-
Start playing with a better gun, as SCAR is probably the crappiest rifle in game. :P Average accuracy, average damage, average fire rate, pretty high ammo consumption, and worst of all small mags and slow reload. TAR21 owns it in terms of damage, M4A1 and ACR in terms of accuracy. It's not better than either in any way.
But seriously, I don't understand how people manage to play with one gun all the time, looking at how varied the maps are. I have five classes and use all of them, creating a class working on all maps sounds impossible to me.
I'm at lvl68 currently (just two more for AK47...), and still far from losing interest in the game. I'm past the "total addiction" period (just like it was with CoD5, I could play like 6-8 per day for the first week, then it went down to the usual 2 hours), but still enjoying it a lot and I feel there's a lot to discover.
-
I'm discovering the Intervention. My friends showed me the way of the quick scope.
-
Cleaning my room and listening to SDV while at the title screen, and the trailer for the game pops up. It's not a bad match, actually.
-

Yeah well I find the engine makes a lot of bullshit calls about who-killed-who, if that shot it, who knifed first, etc.
The knifing targeting system (as well as in CoD4) I find is terrible.
-
Oh yes! I've always hated the knife targeting system and Commando just exacerbates my hate for it.
-
I'm discovering the Intervention. My friends showed me the way of the quick scope.
I like the Intervention, I like it a lot!
Still don't understand why when snipers are silenced they aren't one-shot kills.
I dont know why it doesnt, either. When you add a silencer the graph clearly shows that it only reduces range, yet your damage is reduced quite a bit.

Exactly!

Range = basically damage done on longer range. It has basically no effect at all on short distance, but further away it's pretty important. Guns with 100% range do exactly the same damage on any range I think, and the lower it gets, the worse it is on distance. Since sniping is usually long distance, the silencer affects damage quite a lot. I don't like silenced snipers for the simple reason that I don't feel the power with it :lol but I guess that's how it works. Intervention with thermal sight > all (unless the map is Derail... white on white isn't exactly easy to see).
The knife targeting is plain awful like always. I seriously have no idea what were they thinking when adding even more help for knifenoobs - tactical knife and commando. Wasn't knife overpowered enough in CoD4? This is a damn FPS, not Assassin's Creed.
-
Oh ok. I guess that makes sense. Doesn't mean I like it though :lol
Thermal is awesome. 'Nuff said.
-
Sniper rifles are the only reason the ACOG scope is worth anything in this game.

Have you used it on the ACR?
-
The ACOG on the TAR-21 is terrible. I like it on the M4A1, FAL, SCAR...but the TAR is extremely jumpy I find.
And I find the increased the sway on an ACOG'd sniper in this game, I'm not nearly as good as I was with them. But time will tell.

F2000 is just as jumpy and awful.
-

Not really. Actually I find the ACOG with sniper to be worthless just as in CoD4 - standard scope gives the great zoom, thermal gives easy detection. ACOG gives neither (and it's impossible to hold breath, which sucks even more), and for medium range any assault rifle is 5x more effective. And the ACOG scope is pretty useful in MW2, it lowers the accuracy, especially on the move, but used properly it can be really excellent on open maps. ACR with ACOG works wonders.
TAR-21 is focused on firepower not accuracy, so it's not good for long range. It's a typical mid-range gun, with FMJ it's nearly unstoppable on city maps. For long range - ACR > all.
Guys, you wrote 3 posts when I was writing this one. :lol

Oh, btw, I finally got lvl70 today. AK47 is totally AWESOME, just like in CoD4. :D

There's just something about the acog that makes it completely useless for my super aggressive style of play. I think it takes longer to bring up, I'm not sure.

Ive just never liked it. Its better than the COD4 piece of shit, but I still dont see the point. There are so many better attachments.

Silencer is pretty much mandatory for an AR/Sub. Holgraphic/Red Dot coming in second but a lot of the guns have adequete iron sights to use without. Especially guns like the TAR-21 where the red dot is awful. Limited peripheral vision makes me a :sadpanda:
-
Start playing with a better gun, as SCAR is probably the crappiest rifle in game. :P Average accuracy, average damage, average fire rate, pretty high ammo consumption, and worst of all small mags and slow reload. TAR21 owns it in terms of damage, M4A1 and ACR in terms of accuracy. It's not better than either in any way.
But seriously, I don't understand how people manage to play with one gun all the time, looking at how varied the maps are. I have five classes and use all of them, creating a class working on all maps sounds impossible to me.
I'm at lvl68 currently (just two more for AK47...), and still far from losing interest in the game. I'm past the "total addiction" period (just like it was with CoD5, I could play like 6-8 per day for the first week, then it went down to the usual 2 hours), but still enjoying it a lot and I feel there's a lot to discover.
Fail. SCAR is awesome. Will be replaced with the AK when I unlock though. That was a beast in COD4 and I'm hoping for a similar experience.
Does anyone know if the Gold Gun camo is in MW2? I've havent seen/heard of it so I don't know.
Edit: I don't really play with 1 gun. I use the SCAR a lot more than other guns because it works for me. Depending on the map I sometimes use the MP5 or the Intervention. It also depends on my mood, sometimes I like to hang back and the SCAR works for that. Sometimes I like to flank, SCAR works for that too... It's generally awesome and one day you will realise and beg me for forgiveness of your blasphemy :)

@ cthrubuoy: Yea, I just played a round against someone with a golden shotgun. Which is weird, you can't ordinarily camo them, right?
I've started using Chopper, Pave Low, and Chopper Gunner, and if I can get up to 7 kills, I just about automatically get over twenty kills that life.
I end up getting Gunner every two games or three games now.

I only use silencer with one of my two UMP45 classes. I don't like the decreased range and accuracy, and usually there's something more interesting to add. Not all weapons work good with holographic or red dot sights, I just usually experiment with different stuff and see what I like the most. TAR-21 worked best with just FMJ.
Fail. SCAR is awesome. Will be replaced with the AK when I unlock though. That was a beast in COD4 and I'm hoping for a similar experience.

I've tried playing with SCAR once when I unlocked it and instantly felt a huge "meh" in comparison with M4, now I tried again looking at all the love it gets and it felt even worse. I seriously can't find a single strength it has, it even sounds crappy to me. I used it with exactly the same perks as TAR-21 and the disadvantage was just awful.
@ cthrubuoy: Yea, I just played a round against someone with a golden shotgun. Which is weird, you can't ordinarily camo them, right?
Was it M1014? It looks kind of "gold" by default in MW2, though not very shiny.
-
Oh. I haven't unlocked it, so I wouldnt know. Maybe that's what it was.
-
Starting to get a little peeved at all the players running around with akimbo model 1887's. I can't complain, because it's just as legit as me playing The Witch.
And goddamn is it satisfying to get the jump on them in CC (however rarely it happens :lol)
I really have to give IW props on the shotgun selection though. Such an improvement over MW1. The M1014 is somehow my favourite this time around, although I'm a little puzzled by the difference in magazine capacity from the campaign and special ops modes. 7-8 in the aforementioned modes, while 4-shots in MP, balance issues I suppose :sadpanda:
-
i still want them to lower the range on the akimbo 1887's. Yesterday while playing in Favela I was picking guys off the roofs... while I was on the ground!
-
The only balance issues I have with MW2:
- get rid of the fucking akimbo model 1887 altogether, the most overpowered weapon in game and ridiculously unrealistic - Ranger is the only shotgun that makes sense akimbo as it's sawn-off
- get rid of tactical knife or make it impossible to use with marathon/lightweight (either of the two, not just combination)
- balance the grenade launchers, like one grenade per 90 seconds or give it some cooldown time (if you've played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory you probably know what I have in mind)
Everything else is fine, which is pretty impressive with this choice of weapons.
edit: just finished the single player for the second time. Obviously not as powerful as the first time, but it was still a very strong experience. I'm already impatient about seeing how it will end... but I guess I have like 23 months for that.
-
The Witch is really easy to counter. Most people arent great with it, and to do good you have to be somewhat skilled with it.
The akimbo 1887s are just ridiculous, though. It takes no skill, and they're almost unstopable.
-

Yep.
-
I really can't get into this game because of all the balancing issues.
-
There are only three balancing issues, the ones I mentioned. Which is very, very few for this kind of game so early, especially if it has around 40 weapons.
-
I don't get why you want them to give a time limit between the grenade launchers. I've never had any trouble with those.
-
I have, if someone is walking around with GL permanently on and shooting it on sight, it's extremely lame and overpowered. Now imagine there are three in one team doing that, and try to imagine having fun in this situation.
Grenade launchers are supposed to be used against concentrated groups of enemies. There are very few people doing that. This is one option, the other one I can think of: change it to fifth unlocked attachment instead of first, swap shotgun with GL and in order to unlock GL, you need to get 200 kills with shotgun attachment. Problem solved.
-
He only can use the launcher 2 times. I don't see no problem with the launcher as it right now. But they need to fix the 1887's desperately.

Noob tubes, at least in PC rounds, are the bane of my existence.
-

Which is enough to instantly kill two (or more) people basically without aiming, then get killed by someone who is capable of aiming with a gun, and then two another lame kills. Sorry, no.

anything + tactical knife
Marathon/Lightweight/Ninja or Commando
Stun nades
Here we go.
And today I rediscovered how great M4 is. It's actually better than ACR.

:facepalm: apparently you're one of those who only have fun when they fuck up the game for others.

And your sarcasm sense is whacked.
By the way, I just played a Demolition match with the dumbest people on the planet. I planted on a on Invasion and did my team decide to protect it while 1-2 go and try to plant on B? HELL NO!
THE WHOLE TEAM WENT TO B!!!!!!!!
-
The problem is, it's just so damn fun.
I dont make classes like that, but when you pick up 1887s off the ground and start running around with them, its fucking fun.
Btw on a tac knife class, wouldnt it be better to use cold blooded? Lightweight is obviously useful but it seems like if you can see them on radar it's way easier to kill them.
-
My sarcasm detector is pretty sensitive.
With marathon + lightweight you can move so damn fast that the UAV is unable to keep track. Someone sees you 40 metres away when you're already behind his back. That's the worst thing.
Btw, I started to play the TPP mode from time to time a bit, and it's really fun.
-
Oh I wasn't being sarcastic. I just think y'all are being too drastic by saying it fucks the game up for others.
Fucking the game up for others is using the Javelin Glitch for an almost guaranteed, unjustified kill (i.e. the Javelineer wouldn't have been able to kill you after you killed them, but because they're glitching, they could).
If I'm able to run up behind you and plant a knife in your back while you're not looking, it's not because I'm exploiting. It's because you're not paying attention. If it's actually unfair, then IW will take it out of the game and I'm won't complain.
But for now, I don't think either fuck up the game (as for the model 1887's, until their ranges/damages are nerfed, I'll be using them for CC consistently, as they will place me upon an even ground with those who do).
-
My perspective on this is pretty close to Tycho's from Penny Arcade:
https://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/11/30/
As mad as I'd like to be at these wicked sorcerers, I can't be - not really. All they've done is turn the game's subtext into the focus. They haven't modified any binaries. They're simply playing the game as delivered. We lost a single round to these kinds of tactics, and haven't lost another, but they turn it into some other game I don't have a lot of interest in.
It's not cheating, it's not noobish, it's simply not fun.

The amount of skill-less kills you can get with GL spamming or knife running is like five times higher than with the Javelin glitch. It happens once, when you die. You can spam two or more grenades per spawn, or kill lots per spawn with knife (it really is the easiest and most retarded game style ever, especially on maps like Skidrow or Invasion). And no, it's not not paying attention. Whatever you do, there is no fucking way to turn around fast enough when he's running behind you to kill him, and usually it's also near impossible to kill them before they reach you in short-range combat. It's totally lame, overpowered and unbalanced. I'm 100% sure I'd get ridiculous amount of kills that way, but I have some respect for myself, my skills and other players and I won't reach so low for a bit higher stats (as I can get good enough playing normally).
Saying "it's just the way they programmed it" is the lamest excuse possible. When playing football for fun it's also alright to kick an opponent in the balls when nobody sees it, as it gives you an advantage and they didn't see it, so there's no problem? Yes, it is a good parallel and no, I'm not exaggerating. Sometimes it's just either a) the developers haven't noticed the problem yet b) they can't be bothered to do it c) they want to fix it but there's no good solution (parallel: good luck proving you were kicked by someone when there were no witnesses, think what the referee can do). If people were decent enough, they would notice it's totally retarded and ruins the game. But they're not, and they don't give a fuck about the other 11 people on the server, it's THEIR fun and THEIR stats that are important.
This is why I'm not as optimistic about the popularity of multiplayer in modern games and sometimes I just don't give a damn and play some decent single player campaign, where the AI, even if limited by the way it's programmed, is at least fair.

Higher amount of skill-less kills? Yes. Higher amount of completely unpreventable kills? No. And as for the tac knife, they're not even skill less kills, you've admitted so yourself. And if we're talking skill-less kills, why not direct some of your anger toward the camper? Is camping the same choke point on skidrow for half the game, moving the crosshairs marginally to get kill after kill after kill any better than using the tools within the game to flank and CQC kill who you can? I don't think so.

There'd be no difference if I armed myself with lightweight, marathon and a silenced M1014 and shot you in the back instead of knifing you. But I don't see you complaining about that combo, hmm? Or maybe you're anti-marathon/lightweight primarily. That I can't argue against. If you think it's cheap and unrealistic for someone to run around the battlefield, fine. But your opinion isn't going to ruin my fun.

Yes, it is a good parallel and no, I'm not exaggerating.
I disagree. Kicking another player in the balls in a game of football is more like using the Javelin Glitch. It's outside the rules, is completely unfair, and is generally just a dick move. I don't think you can draw a parallel between n00btubing or using the witch to kicking an opponent in the balls. In a game governed by rules, both abide by, and are valid choices for deciding how to play.

Maybe they agree with you that tac knife, commando, marathon and lightweight are unfair, and want to eliminate that combination. I'm no game dev, but that can't be a hard fix.

And if I choose to use a feature another player thinks is unfair, why the hell should I care? Of course it's "it's THEIR fun and THEIR stats that are important".

I've never said the knife-runner class takes any skill at all because it does not. I also hate camping and it is also lame, but there are plenty of ways to get rid of campers. Ninja pro, cold-blooded, UAV, pulse sensor, FMJ, or simply being careful. When I have a good day, a camper usually doesn't last more than 15 seconds after he kills me. :P Knife-runners and GL-spammers - unstoppable. Even if you were the world champion in MW2, they'd kill you most of the time.

But your opinion isn't going to ruin my fun.
There is. You need to aim at least a bit, you need to reload it, you have limited ammo, and it has very limited accuracy with silencer if a frontal combat happens. I'm not against the runner class overall, I use it myself with UMP45, works perfectly on some maps. It is unrealistic, but balanced, since it replaces a lot of other very useful combat perks. But it's a different thing entirely if you use it with knife.
Saying "it's just the way they programmed it" is the lamest excuse possible.

In a game governed by rules, both abide by, and are valid choices for deciding how to play.
Although not outside the rules - as there are basically no rules in MW2 - it's certainly completely unfair and a dick move. Going with this line of thinking, Javelin glitch is also a valid choice for deciding how to play. After all, it's how the game is programmed - so why not use it?
Sometimes it's just either a) the developers haven't noticed the problem yet b) they can't be bothered to do it c) they want to fix it but there's no good solution (parallel: good luck proving you were kicked by someone when there were no witnesses, think what the referee can do).

Maybe they agree with you that tac knife, commando, marathon and lightweight are unfair, and want to eliminate that combination. I'm no game dev, but that can't be a hard fix.
The problem is in those who decide to use it in the first place. A lot of problems in games, and this world in general, could be solved by using such a slowly disappearing thing as common sense. When developers make a game this big, weaknesses are inevitable and since they also have a lot of other stuff to work on (such as the IWnet stability, with servers crashing and similar), it's going to take a lot of time even if they decide to fix it. Another thing is that I'm certain that this was not the way they intended it to be, it was simply a weakness exploited by people.
The problem isn't implementing the fix I guess, the problem is deciding how to do it. If you just disallow it with tac knife, normal knife will be not much less. If you go further and e.g. make it impossible to knife during sprint, it will affect the whole gameplay. It's not that simple, unfortunately.
If people were decent enough If people shared my opinion, they would notice it's totally retarded and ruins the game. But they're not, and they don't give a fuck about the other 11 people on the server, it's THEIR fun and THEIR stats that are important.

You mean to tell me you're concerned about the stats and fun of buddy who has been sniping you all match long?
I have a simple rule... I find something lame = I don't use it. As simple as that. And I can give you a rational explanation why I do/don't consider something lame (which was the case with generally loved stopping power in CoD4 which I hated - fortunately it's balanced in MW2 - and generally hated juggernaut which was no problem for me), it's more than just "I get killed by this a lot". I do like it when it seems everyone has fun, and I never play in a way that's deliberately annoying and I almost never hear people complain about anything I do (compare this with what happens when a GL-spammer enters the server). If someone is a good player and kills me a lot - why should I want to ruin the game for him? I'll do my best to be better than him, but it's a game, and I enjoy a challenge.
If everyone just cared about himself and their friends in the game, I think it would all end up being random clan-matches between >3 clanstackers on each team and some unlucky for-fun players, played with knife-runner classes, akimbo model 1887s and GL-spamming. Sounds fun, doesn't it? ::)

jesus dude, when you take a game that seriously, it's time for you to find an actual game. "Oh I have respect for myself as a player", why? Have fun. I do the knifing thing that you complain about all the time, I know it's noobish, but I do it anyway, it's fun.
"The problem is in those who decide to use it in the first place. A lot of problems in games, and this world in general, could be solved by using such a slowly disappearing thing as common sense. When developers make a game this big, weaknesses are inevitable and since they also have a lot of other stuff to work on (such as the IWnet stability, with servers crashing and similar), it's going to take a lot of time even if they decide to fix it. Another thing is that I'm certain that this was not the way they intended it to be, it was simply a weakness exploited by people.
The problem isn't implementing the fix I guess, the problem is deciding how to do it. If you just disallow it with tac knife, normal knife will be not much less. If you go further and e.g. make it impossible to knife during sprint, it will affect the whole gameplay. It's not that simple, unfortunately."
---------
Or because it's something you don't like and complain about, therefore it must be a glitch, or an exploit, or whatever, and needs nerfing/fixing. Are you sure they didn't intend for it to be like that? How could you be? They never changed the d-eagle's firerate in MW1, but they changed it in MW2, when MW3 comes out and they change the tac. knife stuff, will it be for balancing purposes? They also brought the .44 magnum which with akimbo (or not) has the same ROF. I'm getting off my point though, the point is, it's not a realistic game, it was never intended to be, if you want a realistic shooter, get Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and call it a day.
-
Yeah, I think I told him myself that a long time ago. This is not a war simulation, it's a game!
-
Like I said before, it is a game, just when everyone's bunny hopping around knifing people it's not a very fun one.
-
Then don't play it.

Because it's still enjoyable, just distinctly less so with all of its bullshit. Hence why it's so frustrating - there's a absolutely brilliant game turned mildly fun by a myriad of stupid little things.
-
I'd give you this. Even if you are frustrated by the multiplayer, Spec Ops makes up for it.
-

Spec Ops was fun for a little bit, but I get the feeling it's something that was designed to be played with a friend. Not to mention some of the missions I think only exist to serve as 360 achievements. That said, it certainly added a lot to the replayability.
Oh well, I'll just have to wait until march when Bad Company 2 comes out.
-
Yeah, some of trophies/achievements you get in Spec Ops are ridiculous, but playing it with a friend is very fun to me.

Im trying to get Tac knife for Magnum, just to see what all the hype is about (don't hate me Darkes)

Oh wow... I really love it when the main argument is "you can't have fun when someone ruins the game for you, so you're taking it too seriously". Perfect thinking. Unfortunately, the point is that I'm taking the game as a game, and I play it only to have fun (which is why I could never get into "real" competitive gaming in CoD4, except a few months episode in a clan which ended with a disaster). My whole point is that this game is about having fun and it would be nice if people sometimes thought that deliberately ruining it for others isn't a good thing. And most of those who claim that "I'm too serious about it" are those who only do it because they want stats. That's not hypocrisy at all. I can get owned, but if it was a fair and challenging game, it's a lot of fun (and adrenaline). I won't have much fun if I owned the whole match but 95% of my deaths were in the lamest way possible, as it's very effective in ruining any kind of fun.
Or because it's something you don't like and complain about, therefore it must be a glitch, or an exploit, or whatever, and needs nerfing/fixing.

I'm getting off my point though, the point is, it's not a realistic game, it was never intended to be, if you want a realistic shooter, get Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and call it a day.
I'm pretty sure they didn't intend the knife to be the most powerful weapon in a game which is meant to be year 2016 if I'm counting correctly, and with the amount of modern weapons and equipment that make CoD4 look like World War II. Desert Eagle was powerful but I've always said that in the right hands, Colt .45 and even USP was far better. In MW2 M9 owns deagle in every way possible as well.
And here we go again... I like to play realistic games for time to time, thank you. However, when playing CoD I'm expecting a dynamic game with limited realism that's based mostly on basic tactics and most importantly a lot of aiming. I can't see any tactics at all in running with a knife like a berserk or any aiming at all in slashing anything on your way.
[If you have any doubt about the tactics part, play Search & Destroy and see what's the most important when you end up 1v5]
Im trying to get Tac knife for Magnum, just to see what all the hype is about (don't hate me Darkes)
The default UMP45 class has running perks and Magnum with tactical knife so it's the simplest way I guess.
Can I call you on the telephone now and then? :D
-
No shit? The made the Witch a default class?
Wow. I didnt know that. What the hell am I trying to get 100 kills with it for?
-
Fuck dude, and my point is that it's subjective. I still think it's fun. I do it from time to time when the enemy is camping really hard, it roots them out really easily. So there are some "tactics" for you.
Also, my other point, and it's really tied into my first, is just because you get pissed at what someone does, doesn't mean that there is something fundamentally wrong with the game. Get over it, if you don't like it, leave, if you can't get away from it, don't play the damn game. You don't have the right to take away what others might consider fun just because you dislike it.
And to be honest, I didn't read most of your posts, if you've ever argued this stuff before, because I wasn't going to waste my time. I just picked up on a few things that I thought were really stupid.
-
If you didn't even bother to read my posts about it, which is really obvious, you really shouldn't reply to them.
-
Man, I suck with the Tac knife class. I dont know how people do well with it.
Still hella fun though :laugh:
-
I just tried it for the first time (M9 tac + marathon/lightweight/commando) - 22:11 stats, easily the best stats of the match, TDM won. It would have been higher but I forgot to switch flash to smoke. I seriously can't understand how it takes any kind of skill at all, all I did was run around the map like a moron and stab everything on my way. Zero skill, no need even for precision as you can thrust it very quickly, instant kill every time. Extreme and total noobiness, even worse than akimbo 1887. Did it once, won't do it again.
-
Honestly, I found it difficult. Of course it depends on map, but most of the time people saw me from far away and just shot me down. Not nearly as bad as 1887, where you have the range of almost a regular gun, wide spread, and can kill one shot.
I'm finding it much more amusing to use Riot Shield. Takes more skill, and I dont get shot down from far away. I just keep a magnum with Tac knife for close quarters.
-
If you didn't even bother to read my posts about it, which is really obvious, you really shouldn't reply to them.
It only took a few excerpts to discern that you were taking it way too seriously.
-
Most fun I've ever had was using my USP (without tact knife) for a whole game. I won 4 free for alls this way. I had people messaging me complaing about my 'hack', people going mad that their LMGs couldn't take me down with my USP...
It was great!
It's probably my favourite gun in the game now :) USP with FMJ FTW!
On the topic of the tact knife, I like using it for a few levels so that I can power level my perk challenges. I don't use Marathon/Lightweight other than in that class, and obviously this is going to boost Commando as well. It's really fun for the first couple of go, and yes, it does take a certain amount of skill to get good with. You need to know how to bullet dodge so that if you slightly too far away from a target they can't kill you first. The majority of the time though it's backstabbing, so technically you wouldn't need the tact knife, it just looks cooler.
AND ALSO (sorry for the essay this is turning in to), for extra fun:
Play headquarters and wait until you have a kamikazee teammate who likes to run in to the headquarters knowing full well he is going to die but hoping his SMG hits some guy in the face before he goes down.
Wait for this teammate to sprint in to the headquarters, and attach a semtex to him :D So much win
-
lol oh yea dude. me and my friend were doing that on estate, he would go in the back way, I'd throw a semtex to him, and he'd go to the most populated place, we'd switch out :P so much fun
-

The map was skidrow and I found it really easy, when the area was too open for me to run through it, usually waiting a few seconds behind the corner did the trick. Knowing which route to take to be less visible also helps. And that's it basically, enough to massacre the enemy team without aiming in any way.
The shield is kinda fun, but it's not for me. I'm just too rambo to be effective with it :P

I agree, I see people got a bit too "ZOMG I CAN HAVE SHOTGUN/SMG AS SIDEARM" and didn't notice the pistols are still great :P personally I prefer M9 for the better accuracy, but USP was pretty good too until I unlocked it. Although my favourite has to be akimbo M9, with a bit of practice it's extremely powerful on short range. And the big advantage of pistols is that you can switch to them very quickly (unlike shotguns which takes ages), which is why I prefer them. I only use M1014 with my AK47 class, as it's supposed to be a "med-range/in-buildings" class (e.g. rundown).
Never tried the semtex trick yet. Maybe because I'm usually the one running into the HQ first. :lol

I think it works for everything (it was working for an AC-130)
-
Is it a glitch or a hack then?
I was in a match (FFA) on Estate. Joined midway through the game.
When I entered all I could hear was 'BOOSH BOOSH BOOSH...' constantly and looked up to see hundreds of smoke trails. People were shooting greande launchers/RPGs off continuously. When I picked up one of the RPGs from a dead guy, the same thing happened for me and I could continually shoot?
Left the game pretty soon after that because I like my accuracy rating and don't want it to get runied by that. What's the point in continuously shooting when 1 bullet can do the work? ;)
-
Ive played a couple games like that.
At least you can just leave and find a new game.
-
Hopefully it wont be too long before they patch up all this shit and we can go back to normal.
-

I'm honestly not sure, I think it's a really complicated glitch.
-

I coworker told me it was a hack, but that doesn't mean it is. I got into one of these games a few nights ago. I used Otto my advantage to get 20 kills easily, but left as soon as the game ended. I have no interest in this or any cheating.
-
Its just a really comlicated glitch. My friend told me how people do it the other day, and I didnt understand it at all.
Ive also been playing in glitched games where domination turns into a Free-For-All (against your own team) on Rust.
This is really starting to suck.
-
Never seen any of those glitches on PC yet.
But wow, today is the first time I saw the enemy got nuke... It happened twice when it was one of my teammates, but now... we were winning HQ 130-60, and then... "enemy nuke incoming" and the scary countdown sound. It scared the hell out of me :P

lol, I'm pretty sure I was in one of the first matches of that type, because right after I looked it up on google and NOTHING came up. Anyway, I participated quite a while, because I was on my friends' account (we had traded HDDs) and he said he wanted to prestige as fast as he could, so I was, of course, gay with the AC-130.
-
Why are so many people so insecure on XBL? I was playing a match and killed a guy across the map and he calls me a "pansy"
fucking little 15 year old kids. Every time I get online I end up playing with someone who has a personality disorder and feels like they have to prove something, it's a joke.
Also I got nuked again. Of course the people who do it leave their mics off so they don't hear me calling them out on it. Cowards.
-
I've found that you just need to find out a way to get enjoyment out of all the crazies on the internet. They're really quite funny.
But those fuckers who play music over their headset the whole fucking game? They can rot in hell.
Oh, and LTTP but just started Prestige Mode v. 1

I set in options to disable all voice chat the moment I found out people actually use it. I don't see any point of having that in MW2 - in CoD4 it would make some sense, as I (and I guess a lot of other players) tended to stick to one or a few chosen servers, and over time I got to know many people there. But no one used it there (no clue if it worked the same way as in MW2) so...
In MW2 the servers are completely random which means I'm also a completely random, anonymous player and that's how I want it to be. If I get to like someone, I'll add him on Steam and talk later. In-game, my chat is reduced to the usual "gg/bg/nice one/help with the damn bomb/camp more". And I don't see the point of anything more, looking at how people are obviously going to abuse it like anything else in the game.
I'm still stuck at lvl70 for now. I might try prestige soon, but for now I'm working on getting Fall camo for UMP45. Once I do it, I'll feel complete. :P
-
Accuracy is now 21.69% :hat
-
The stun nades are driving me mad. They're just as lame as they were in CoD4, except that now you get two. Getting constantly spammed with stun by 2-3 enemies is an amazing feeling. Probably programmed by the same genius who did the akimbo model 1887s and knife-runner class.
-

So I hit level 70 today, and now I actually just don't feel like playing this game anymore. It's becoming more of a chore than anything else. I dislike the average people who play MW2, I dislike all the gimmicky shit, I can't stand a lot of the "strategies" people use, and I hate how I feel like I'm cheated every time I get killed.
There seems to be a lot of unbalanced shit, and the gameplay has gotten rather boring for me. Also the majority of the maps are uninteresting and boring to play on.

Okay, my PS3 is home, so if anyone wants to play...let's.

It's funny because now at level 70 I feel even more motivated to play the game than 50-69. There's a lot of great weapons worth testing, lots of attachment and sidearm combinations, lots of perks, whatever. I've found like 15 different awesome classes. There's also plenty of stuff I wanted unlocked (and already got most of it - Fall camo and gold badge for UMP45, and gold badge for AK47).
And then, there's prestige. Some people hate to start from the beginning, but I love the challenge from being limited to 3-5 weapons. And I love even more the feeling of owning people with their uber-lvl70 stuff with just a plain M4 with the simplest perks. :P
But then, people also go all panic when they run out of ammo. For me, that's when the real fun begins.
I'm weird, I know. :lol
-
I dislike the average people who play MW2
I have to agree, the majority of the MW2 fanbase is made up of horrible, horrible people.
-
The main problem of MW2 is the problem of all very popular games - huge popularity means huge percentage of assholes. Sad but true.
I still think that instead of the damn Steam, Infinity Ward should have followed the awesome invention of Treyarch and implement the in-game profile system. Fixed nickname = no fake nicks = you're far less anonymous and can't appear as "<3" or "your grandma" on servers = 95% less morons. That's why I enjoyed CoD5 on pub more than 4 even though it was a bit weaker than 4.

left what I agreed with
-
Ok, this is fucking enough.
First, there was Derail sabotage. Map is terribly crap as it is, it's obvious. But then, the enemy team took the bomb and camped with it in the main building. One fucking retard with the bomb camping with akimbo G18, 1-2 camping the entrances. Took us 9 minutes to get the bomb back. I really wish it was possible to Steam-ban for things like this, because that's exactly what it deserves. Then, it was 6 minutes of normal game, until the fucking overtime started. Half of team, me included, got killed by Predators (WHO GOT THIS BRILLIANT IDEA TO ALLOW KILLING SPREES IN OVERTIME?!). The rest got owned in 40 seconds. I won't quote my comment after the map because I feel I shouldn't.
At least the next map was Quarry and with similar teams we owned them in around 8 minutes. I had negative stats but to hell with it, I planted the bomb and that tripled the satisfaction.
Since the next map I was put in one team with the bomb-camper, I left and went to play HQ. First was ending of Scrapyard, not much was left. Next was the map which is working for the title of my most hated - Karachi (it's the right name?). It's bad as it is, even worse for HQ. But ok, I hoped it will be playable.
One GL spammer. I think literally 90% of his kills, which were around 60-70, were by GL.
One RPG spammer.
One or two GL-spammers, but less annoying than the main one.
I had 3 members of some clan in my team and they were pretty good and decent, and clearly shared my opinion and expressed it more often than me. We were winning for most of the time. Finally they got two lucky HQs ONLY because of GL-spam, and won 130-135 because time ran out two seconds before we managed to capture the next HQ.
Fuck this. I'm playing TDM. If I calm down.
-
You're far more patient than I. I would have ragequit the second that kind of shit started.
-
TDM sucks even more. I actually like Mercenary Team Death match, no groups of fags.
-
And see, if it had dedicated servers, shit like GL and RPG spam would be so easy to avoid. Sigh.
-
TDM is fine. At least it's all about fragging and crap like that is far less annoying, because all you do is just respawn and hunt them. It can't ruin the whole game. Even the retarded Apache isn't as overpowered in TDM. Although the problem is, it doesn't have so much adrenaline... but well, TDM can range from "pretty bad" to "very good". Sabotage or HQ can range from "totally awful and unplayable" to "totally awesome". Well, it's the risk.
And see, if it had dedicated servers, shit like GL and RPG spam would be so easy to avoid. Sigh.
Yep, agreed. I'm pretty sure some servers would keep a strict policy against it.
-
In MW1 I always played on the same server - no martyrdom, last stand, GL, or RPGs. It was great.
-
I would love to have a gametype, or server, for this game that plays exactly like COD4. No lame ass kill streaks, just the ones from 4. No shitty akimbo, no lock on launchers (for balance), etc

Tycho's latest post:
After playing Modern Warfare virtually every night since its release, the most recent round of "sploitz" punctured the ritual in a way that dual shotguns or even people using Javelins as melee weapons could not. With Duallies or Jav Glitchers, it's easy to think of those opponents in terms of enemy type. The Javelin altered a player's profile sufficiently that you knew what you were getting into with those guys - it was like playing Serious Sam, or something to that effect, only without the customary ululations. You had to interdict them at incredible range, which added an interesting (if sometimes frustrating) precondition.
Obviously, if you're fighting six guys who all blow up in a thermonuclear fashion, that's not going to be a great round. And those fucking shotguns might as well be wands. We discussed that already. But neither of these things ever punctured the ritual.
These new hacks do violence to the experience at a more primal level. Rounds which never end, and place the full eighteen players on the game's smallest map, in glitched private matches that suck players in against their will. There is also a class of global effects running around, and your box "catches" them, like a sickness - they persist until you quit to the OS. The Unlimited Ammo thing falls into this class, as does some kind of Speed Force thing we saw last night, which seems to accelerate the game clock so that everything is batshit.
Weapon glitches (and frankly, weapon design choices which are indistinguishable from glitches) are things we can mitigate by play, and play is why we are online to begin with, so it is not utterly at odds with our purpose. This other stuff is different, because they gnaw at a place below the game proper, something fundamental, until you don't know what "game" you might be playing in any given round. That's not a situation I will willingly put myself in, and since every time I log on someone has discovered a new way to ruin it, I'm done. The routine has been so sundered that even if a patch does drop, I have no faith that it won't simply be the preamble to some new, more sinister devilry.
There was a full five day lag between patches on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360; certainly, there's more to test on the 360, but that's no comfort to the millions of people whose purchases have been warped into something unrecognizable. Microsoft's sloth on this matter approaches disinterestm if not out-and-out neglect.

I can't think of anyone, including myself, who would go berserk as much as you over that remark. But well... ::)
-
I didn't go berserk at all. You see, on the internet, therein lies a fundamental flaw -- inherent ability of its users to miscomprehend the varied languages and vagaries that go with communication between two users. What I intended as a "calling out" of sorts, you misinterpreted as a type of rage, or anger, when none existed -- just a desire to point out the gormless nature of your post, as fruitless as my attempt may have been.
-
It's definitely clear to me that a post is "going berserk" if it contains swearing and caps when the original post didn't.
And I do feel I have a right to write it, as there's lots of making fun of PC players, and not only around here. But when I stated a fact that they have an advantage in something... oh noes, storm rolling in.
-
I'm not going to argue with you. I wrote it, I know I wasn't berserk. My tone was harsh, but come on, man. Let's try and be a little more creative in our thinking.
As for making fun of PC players, it's because of how self-righteous many PC gamers are. When you guys get fucked like you did for this game, people will inevitably let you know about it. All I heard for years is that console gamers suck, PC is superior to console, lol analog controls, lean ftw, etc....and when IW fucks you over to the degree that they did for this game, you're gonna get those console fanboys (and/or people tired of self-righteous PC games) who are very vocal. You're not making yourself look any better by making irrelevant posts toward the pc v console forum, you know that's a hot subject.
But like I said, I'm a fanboy of nothing.

Right.
The most elitist PC gamers I've ever seen are pretty much nothing compared to some, and not so few, console players. For them "consoles are cool", "PC gaming lolmuseum", and for them the whole world is spinning around them. If PC lacks something, they deserve it. If consoles lack something... Gods, where is your wrath against the infidels? What happened to MW2 took it into a whole new level.
And yes, I do have my own reasons for disliking consoles. I wouldn't bother at all if it was a simple division - PC is for more complex games, consoles are for simpler games. But for several years now, a huge majority of games are basically made for consoles and PC gets just a converted version, just because the developers are too fucking lazy to do a real PC version. It's basically making things equal in the favour of consoles, which basically means the games are getting simpler and more stupid. CoD series still pretty much holds to its principles (although there are already some signs - like leaning which was there from CoD1 and is missing in MW2), but there are many who don't. Everything is pretty much dictated by the console market which refuses to accept anything that's too clever or complex (strategy games on consoles?...), just because it's more popular. Mainstream ftw.
I'm seriously sick of it, and I'm not going to hide it just because it's not right. It's there. And should be discussed.
And in the process we pretty much resurrected a thread which was half-dead recently.

gimped PC version and complain to someone who gives a shit
How is it all gimped compared to the console versions BESIDES the fact that all of the match glitches don't exist?
Everything is pretty much dictated by the console market which refuses to accept anything that's too clever or complex (strategy games on consoles?...), just because it's more popular. Mainstream ftw.
I think it has less to do with console gamers and more to do with simple logistics. Console controllers lend themselves to simpler gameplay, it's just a fact. You don't have strategy games because most strategy games require a level of precision and speed in the controls that a gamepad simply can't offer.

Well, it's pretty much close I think. Consoles -> simpler games -> simpler controllers -> more accessible -> more popularity. Would be great if the next arrow wasn't -> dictating the quality of games for everyone.

With the increased of motion controls in console gaming, PCs will fall behind in the game race in terms of realistic gameplay, and interactive controls.
But this is all completely off topic. :P What's everyones favourite/least favourite map?

:rollin :rollin :rollin
You expressed my thoughts exactly :lol sorry.
But this is all completely off topic. :P What's everyones favourite/least favourite map?
As for favourite... well, my main choice would probably be Underpass. For some reason it's disliked (I often see plenty of votes to skip it), but I don't know why. It's a very well-constructed, fast map with a lot of action, and well-balanced for all game modes. It's also not very camp-friendly, which is always a good thing. Two other maps that come to my mind are Wasteland - excellent open map (and I love that it's pretty much the map Brecourt from CoD1/2 but with the CoD4 Chernobyl look) and unlike most open maps, it's not a "snipe to win" type of map, you have equal chances with any gun. The other is Highrise, it's very fast and dynamic, the only thing that sometimes brings it down is camping, but usually it's a great map.
Least favourite - the winner is obviously Derail. It's extremely boring, camp-friendly and terribly balanced (in HQ usually one team owns the map, in sabotage one team has a far easier plant site). Karachi is very close, because of being a total random campfest, it's possible to die from 3456242395936 different directions everywhere. It's also usually filled with GL-spam, which is particularly annoying there. Estate gets a special award here in sabotage, because it's the most unbalanced sabotage map ever - the Spetsnaz (right name? English spelling of Eastern names is usually weird to me :P) plant site is a damn fortress, the TF141 plant can be often done solo without much trouble.

No really. I don't see motion sensor technology being developer for PC gaming?
-
Because it's one step away from being a total and complete gimmick. Without any tactile feedback it's hard to control, imprecise, and contributes nothing to the overall experience. Not to mention that while it's cool to be able to swing your control to swing a sword in game when you're trying out a tech demo, doing it the 500,000 times that one would over the course of a normal game is tiring, repetitive, and pointless.
Along with that, my point was that console controls don't allow for more complex gameplay, and motion control does nothing to help that in most cases. At best it could allow for a mouse-like interface for something like an RTS, but even then you're only leveling the playing field a little bit, certainly not surpassing a mouse and keyboard setup.
-
lol @ this thread.
-
Motion controls are such a joke.
-
I hate motion controls.
-
I actually really started to like the Magnum. It felt like the worst weapon in game for me before, but now I realised that it's more powerful and has a faster reload than I thought. :P And I gave the UMP45 a break and switched to P90, at least for now. I disliked it in CoD4, but here it's far better.
-
The p90 is a little erratic but it's pretty good.
-
Magnum is awesome. I was a beast with the Deagle is COD4 (computer), and the Magnum feels very similar, just faster. And plus you unlock it pretty early on.
-
I can't kill shit with the magnum. Best pistol for me is the M9, although I've been running around with the USP lately to unlock everything.
(sorry for bailing last night XianL, i forgot I had presents to wrap :lol )
-
I was wondering about the USP action there :lol And no worries man, it's all good.
-
Yeah I was like "oh man, Christmas is so awesome. My parents are gonna love what I got the--oh shit nothing's wrapped!"
-
Well, I don't really like the Desert Eagle in CoD4 (I quickly learned that Colt is far better when used properly), and it's equally bad for me in MW2, but Magnum is a bit different, easier to control the recoil. I can't wait until I unlock akimbo, it's going to own :P
-
I dont really like akimbo anything. especially since I go stealth most of the time, so spraying isnt really ideal.
-
Well, it's Christmas time, and I thought I'd give you
whiny bastards blokes a class that can counter The Witch:
Riot Shield
Handgun w/ whatever.
Throwing Knife
x2 Stun Grenade
Scavenger
Lightweight
Commando
To kill enemies, throw a stun grenade, then hit them with the throwing knife. Pick up their satchel, and repeat. If they see you, hit them with the nade when you've got an opening, or they reload after emptying their clip into you.
The same technique I find works quite well against Witches. Obviously not fool-proof :P, but I managed to kill the bulk of the attacks the two witches in the game I just played. More testing to come..
-
So you're the bastard who keeps making my use of the witch class less lulzy.
-
:jamaritard:
-

Me akimbo pistols only. They can be really damn deadly and effective with some practice, and with steady aim they pwn everything on close range. Akimbo SMGs and shotguns are overrated. :P

Sounds pretty clever, never used the shield myself. Although yesterday I had lots of fun on Estate HQ with two knifenoobs on enemy team and owning them several times (they killed me once or twice only) with my new M4-shotgun attachment class. One of them accused me of wallhacking because I heard them behind the corner. :rollin
Btw, why is it called Witch? Retarded Berserk sounds more appropriate.
-
What the hell is this "witch" class i keep hearing about?
-
Marathon, lightweight, commando/ninja pro (depends), and any pistol with tac knife. The other version is the supply drop flare instead of the tac knife which seems to make them run even faster.
-
I've been working my:
MP5K Silencer
Striker Silencer
with
Marathon Pro
Lightweight Pro
Ninja Pro
and it works awesomely, perfect flanking class IMO. Striker silencer is a bit short on range but I've gotten 5+ multikills rooting out campers all huddled up in a building with it.
I'm also frequently using:
UMP 45 Silencer
AA-12 Foregrip
Marathon Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Sitrep
this is my "other" flanking class for when they use a lot of claymores/c4. Really works well also, UMP 45 seems to deal with long range enemies a lot better with silencer for me, less kick.
-
UMP45 with laser sight = the best weapon in game imo. The accuracy is comparable with rifles, firepower without stopping power is awesome, and it doesn't use much ammo.
Btw, why use SMG with shotgun? It's always made me curious. It's very slow to switch, and SMG is good enough for short range as it is. Pistols work excellent because they give you a chance of survival when you run out of ammo during fight.
-
Well, I used to use launcher with my runner class. I could easily go back to using that, keeps the skies clear so I can continually run, plus free exp. But specifically with the striker, I use it to clear out a room full of enemies, the strikers' large clip makes it perfect for that.
And... the AA-12 well I don't know. :P I just use it because. I usually use it to clear an enemy that is camping a corner. I'm kinda trying to get some shotgun titles also.
I also used to use G18 with my runner classes, gives you sort of an extra SMG really. Slow to switch still, but I play aggresively most of the time, and if I don't kill an enemy with my first clip of SMG, I switch to my G18 and rush him.
-
I finally got this game for Christmas and since my xbox live isn't working I decided to mow through the campaign. Overall, very satisfying and I can't wait to get into the multiplayer.
And I don't get what the big fuss is about No Russian. Sure you're mowing down civilians for a terrorist attack but it's actually relevant to the story, unlike in games like GTA where you're killing civilians for the fuck of it. Not to say that I liked the level, I'm indifferent towards it, I just can't see why everyone's so butthurt about it.

Well, personally I have two problems with it, and it's only my own feeling towards it:
1) The key of CoD was always dealing with an armed enemy who is supposed to be equal to you (on Veteran this was actually true, on lower difficulty levels you were harder to kill because you're the hero :P but that's it), that was the foundation of the whole game. Here it's broken, and it's no challenge in any way, you're either just firing at defenceless civilians, or just walking behind those who do it.
2) I don't like the way IW is suddenly making the game "br00tal". CoD4 reached the perfect balance between "game" and "violence" to me, with some quite strong moments, but the key was somewhere else - the execution of the president seen from his own eyes for example, or losing Gaz and Griggs - who were your friends throughout the whole game - in a really unfair way in the end. Here they've managed to pull off even stronger moments this way (ending of Makarov's estate mission - don't want to post spoilers, if you played, you know), but on the other hand there's plenty of unnecessary violence that has no real point. One of the things that has always drawn me to CoD single player was the dramatic feeling it has, not being ultra-realistic - and they're changing it. They haven't crossed the line too much yet (like I had said, MW2 has probably the best single player campaign I've ever played in an FPS), but they are doing it and I don't like it. What will be in MW3? Torturing enemies? Even if justified by the storyline... sorry, no. (I only finished the mission for the first time because I wanted to know why the hell did he die - I just followed Makarov and the rest, no shooting until I got really bored at the end) I hope they'll go back to the MW1 style, with less graphic violence and even more focus on actual dramatic feeling. CoD5 was another story, because it was possibly the most graphic of all CoD parts for now, but it was showing possibly the two most brutal fronts of WW2, and it was doing it in a really strong way (it was the first time ever when I sometimes felt sorry for killing German soldiers in a WW2 game).
I could add #3 as simply "I hate shooting civilians", but that's 100% my personal feeling and no argument, so let's leave it for now. It's not that I go "ZOMG MW2 IS TOO VIOLENT", but I simply don't like it that it seems they're slowly running out of ideas and replace it with blood instead.
EDIT: this post turned out quite chaotic :P don't want to try fixing it because it will probably end up even worse.

Hey guys, I managed to play MW2 at the lan party I went to.
I have to say I was really impressed by the campaign, but a couple of things:
- it felt like several set pieces that they wanted to include so the story had to be worse because of it, and feels a bit mission impossible like, but that allowed them to have far more variety in their missions, perhaps they just need to tweak the balance a bit?
- as with MW1, the British part was far more fun, it seems almost unfair :P
- the graphics engine is started to look dated.
- having Gaz's voice actor do the voice for Ghost is stupid. I immediately cottoned on that it was the same VA, and I wasn't told about it. Yes it's a cool voice, but goddamnit Gaz died :'(
- it felt like there was far more variety in weapons that I used too which was good, though I had to laugh when Sgt Foley conveniently knew where all the javalins were amongst those shops :lol
- it still felt too short.
- no lean? Fuck you IW.
-
- no lean, Fuck you IW.
My biggest complaint, it's such a simple feature that really helps out the gameplay. There were like 10 times where I hit E meaning to lean and instead I knife the wall.
-
- having Gaz's voice actor do the voice for Ghost is stupid. I immediately cottoned on that it was the same VA, and I wasn't told about it. Yes it's a cool voice, but goddamnit Gaz died :'(

Hey, the game isn't balanced for that all right?

All i'm saying is that reusing voice actors is silly, especially when none of them are outstanding or incredibly noteworthy. It's confusing and pointless. Just get a new voice actor. I bet the character model behind the balaclava is Gaz too.

@The people talking about Riot Shield before:
Ive been using it a ton lately. If your by yourself, that class (Throwing Knife + Scavenger) works great. I play with my friends usually, though, and when you have someone else with a riot and one or two support gunners moving together, it's surprisingly deadly, and a ton of fun.
I usually go Marathon, Lightweight, Commando, with the Blast Shield. Coupled with the Riot Shield, it's Blast Shield saves your life WAY more than I thought it would.

Lol, I know several people who didn't buy MW2 for PC and are going to buy Bad Company 2 instead, there may be no lean (AFAIK) but there are dedicated servers, and just about everything that are standard in PC games.

I'm definitely getting BC2 because Battlefield >>>>> COD, but I never really understood this - they're completely different games. The only real comparison that can be made is that they're both modern day shooters.
-
Oh yeah, people who can't stand Battlefield will still play MW2, and the opposite. People who are looking for a FPS with dedicated servers and the like, and are willing to go back to an old series, or try an old series for the first time, will go try BC2.
-
Is the Bad Company series that different to BF2/2142 then? Because it's a much bigger scale of game than MW2.

Taking a break from MW2 for a while to play Borderlands. I'm having a way better time playing that.

It's back in forth between the two for me.
In other news, I only need three more achievements (they're all Spec-Ops), and spec-ops is so hard! :'(
-
The first couple sets were really easy, but the last two sets are damn near impossible on veteran.
-
The only "early" one I'm having trouble with is Big Brother.
-
Just glitch for High Explosive, if a developer is going to do something that ridiculously hard in the game, I don't mind exploiting to beat it.
-
It's obvious that high explosive solely exists to have an achievement about it, so it's not even worth trying. The only way to beat I know of is to play coop, have your friend die in the doorway of a on entry house, and then you sit in the house and shoot the juggernaut while he's stuck at the doorway. It's retarded.

That's the way my buddy and I had to do it. We tried 128074298365 times and each one we'd kill somewhere from 0-2 of them before getting boned (maybe 3 once or twice, I can't remember). Read about the glitch and did it on the first try.
We only have a handful of the Spec Ops missions left (like 3 or 4 of them I think). But the ones remaining are all damn near impossible, or seem that way.

Ahahahaha.
I've been using Danger Close and Scavenger to get the shotgun attachments on each of my assault rifles, and on Skidrow, I fired a shot into one of the entryways of that long hallways.
Instant quinta-kill. 4250 points, as I got my shotgun unlocks at the same time, and a couple other achievement.
:rollin
-
Nice.
Ive gotten really bored of just using assault/SMG classes. I'm finding it way more entertaining to use shotguns and snipers; plus I do just as good using them. Im gonna try to get 500 kills with every shotgun, and try to unlock everything for Intervention and Barrett .50 cal.

Although I will say I'm growing to adore the Machine Pistols, especially the M-91 Raffika. Amazing sidearm.

I'm a bit late to the party, just got to level 25 or something. Pretty much loving this game.

Only Prestiged once. At 58 now. But I've got the Perfectionist Title and Metal Horns Emblem which is awesome.

I'm trying to get the Wargasm title.

I feel late joining this thread, but here goes.
Spec Ops is unbelievably fun on veteran split screen.
My friend and I have spent hours trying to get those damn stars.
The one where you kill Juggernauts on the oil rig is so fun, and the breach one is impossible.
That is all.

Breach one as in "Breach & Clear"?
If so, I beat that one on my third try I think :D
Unless you're referring to a later one.

Keep in mind I only really play on my friend's Xbox once in a blue moon.
It also took all our combined skill (which is like, one of you guys) to finish some of the ones in Alpha and Beta.
But it's so damn FUN.
:biggrin:

Amazing game. Just bought it recently, up to rank 20 now. name's [WWJD] Daedalus233.
Be warned, however.
I fail more at Modern Warfare 2 than I do at DTF.

I'm so damn tired of this game, and I don't even own it. My housemate plays it a lot, my brother plays it a lot and I have played it quite a bit - and I'm sick of even seeing the game. I don't see what's the big deal, it's nothing special :\.

@ anyone who's prestiged:
I'm almost at Lv. 70, and I just want to know which challenges carry over. Ive been trying to get the titles for the SPAS-12, and I'm almost at 1000 kills. My friend told me you have to prestige to be able to get the titles/emblems. Do any gun-specific challenges carry over?

I looked up that you can get titles for weapons, for example the SPAS (the one I want them for). I have an 1000 kill challenge and I'm at almost 1000 kills, but apparently I wont get any titles because I havent prestiged. I just wanna know if anything carries over, or if I'm gonna have to get 1000 kills all over again.

Once you get the title, it holds over from prestige to prestige. Although I'm not *sure* it'l keep your kill count because you don't have the "prestige" challenge unlocked.
Hang on, I'mma check which challenges are considered "prestige".
Right: You have the following Challanges, pre-prestige:
"SPAS-12: Marksman
SPAS-12: Expert"
The following come post-prestige:
"SPAS-12: Veteran
SPAS-12: Master"
I am unsure of whether you can unlock the title you get from 500 kills or the emblem at 1000 kills with Marksman, or whether those two items are only unlockable with Veteran I & II.

I already have well over 500 kills, so I guess not.
Damn. That sucks.

I find I have to be in a certain physical state to make it work for me. I have to be able to mash the fire button like hell if I'm in CQC, it works *fairly* well at long ranges, without the need for mashing.
It's like a long range pistol to me :-\
-
People who use moded FALs/M21s can burn in hell. High accuracy + High damage + A now ridiculous fire rate = DOUCHE.
Oh and I've moved on to the 1887, just to try it out. It really sucks after the patch.

SO I'm at level 60, 3rd prestige now, and I'm determined to get the nuke emblem before I prestige again. I've had well over 10 nukes, but spread across different prestiges so they don't count. Man these last few levels before 70 drag so much. KDR of 2.01 (down from 2.15, had a run of bad games >:() kill streak 37. Classes i use are:
ACR Red dot sight OR M16 Red dot sight (Before these are unlocked M4A1 and FAMAS)
AA-12 Extended mags
Scavenger Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Commando Pro
Then for Wasteland, I use
M16 Red dot sight and Silencer
M93 Raffica Red dot sight
Bling Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Commando Pro
I mix up which killstreak rewards I use, although I always use Harriers, Chopper Gunner and Nuke for Wasteland and Afghan
And what the hell is up with n00bs who use Riot Shield? I always make sure I kill them in an especially embarrassing way, for example by throwing a stun grenade behind them and then knifing them in the back. The other day a guy with a shield was running at me so I threw a Semtex and stuck his foot with it :lol

I can say I have only noticed a lot of lag problems lately and some issues with playing with friends, but none of the other stuff mentioned at the bottom.
-
Does that happen on the PC version? Besides the occasional lag I've never run into any problems.
-
I haven't played in a week or so, but I hadn't found ANY of the problems being reported from the XBL players on the PSN... (not going fanboy here, just reporting)
-
Yeah no problems on PSN for me. They've fixed the care package glitch now, which was the worst thing. Yes it's true it can split up parties of friends, but if that happens then you just back out of the lobby and it will put you and your friends back in the same party (as long as the one who was hosting the party backs out first, and after it happens a couple of times you learn to do it that way) and then it is no problem to just click 'find game' again.
As for no friends online being a problem, that's only if you're no good. Playing with no friends online I got 30-0 on Afghan TDM yesterday, and the other day my friend was playing on his own and got 59-2 on Rundown TDM. If you're no good at a game, then you're not gonna have fun no matter how smoothly it runs
-
If he got 59-2 then everyone else on the lobby sucked ass!
-
If he got 59-2 then everyone else on the lobby sucked ass!
yeah probably, chopper gunner for the win though haha
and i have a guy on my friends list (I don't know him in real life) who claims he got 71-2 on Rundown TDM. He is a very very good player, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was legit
-
Just got this game, it's pretty fun. Unbalanced as shit, but I only play it casually so I don't really care. Love that it's constant 60 fps, something that most developpers should copy.
-
So I've never played this game or any of its predecessors, but I hear nothing but good about this game...
...Actually, its all that I hear :lol So is it really as fun as everyone makes it out to be?
-
is it really as fun as everyone makes it out to be?
No.
-
is it really as fun as everyone makes it out to be?
No.
You're just peeved because the PC version has less support than previous offerings :loser:
Once you get into it, yes, it is as fun as everyone makes it out to be. I used to hate CoD4 when all my friends would play it, i thought they were all creaming themselves over nothing. Then one day I just decided to pick it up on a whim, and I really enjoyed it. That enjoyment only grew as I got better at it.
-
I've played console multiplayer as well. Honestly, it can be fun, though it gets old quickly (especially the mass amount of bullshit that people do, like noob tubes). But that's just me.
-
I miss COD4. I mean, there wayyyyy to much killstreak bonuses. At leats in COD4 when you had the chopper, it was over. Now, you can have 2 other bonuses after to own even more.
Same with the perks. In COD4, there was no Bling-Bling, so you had to chose between the silencer and the red dot sight. IMO the akimbo gun are the worst thing I've ever seen in a COD. This game is no longer about talent, there's way to much bonuses so even a n00b can own.

Would someone like to make this decision for me?

This.
I got on to play some TDM last night and while I wasn't doing terrible (I was pretty average score-wise) I just.... didn't care anymore. It felt like work. Honestly, at first I thought that this was a step up from CoD4, but there's just too much bullshit in this game.
-
My interest in in comes and goes. Which is nice, because my skill at the game follows the same pattern :P
I still think it's a significant step up from CoD4, and is a better game on the whole.

COD4 is definitely the superior game...

Very nice! I love MW2, but the maps start to get dull once you've done them over and over again. This'll add some freshness (and I haven't played the COD the two reused maps were from, so they're new to me).

Is this going to be DLC I am forced to pay for? If so, I'm not going to bother. I've already heavily considered selling my copy anyway. I haven't played it since December.

Oh well, I thought that maybe IW would throw us a bone to make up for the mediocre game they presented us with.

Eh, I've got much better things to spend $12 on, I suppose.
-
Any idea if it will be available on PC? They're indeed among CoD4's best, so I'd definitely be interested.
Btw, I still think MW2 is damn good. Currently at lvl67, second prestige. And I'm very happy to see a significant decrease in the amount of morons recently, related to the release of BF: Bad Company 2 I guess.

-
Well, I've noticed a significant decrease in GL-spammers (aka noobtubers), trolls, TAR21 + stopping power + steady aim wannabepro kids, campers etc. It's just nicer to play in general, regardless of game type.
Though the fucking akimbo G18 is still not fixed and far too common.
-
I understand the exploits that were going on earlier, but that seems more the games fault than people.
-

True, but the developers have done little to nothing to try and fix this.
-
IW could predict some of those, but that some of them were used so widely (I still remember the climax of the akimbo 1887 mania, it was nearly unplayable) is entirely the people's fault. It's not so hard to use such thing as "common sense".
True, but the developers have done little to nothing to try and fix this.
I had also been sceptical and thought they're doing nothing, but in fact that's not true. They've dealt with some of the worst issues, and most of the ones they haven't would require a serious change in the game (e.g. fixing GL).
-
Akimbo 1887 is still the same even after they "fixed" it. And the last time I played it I stopped after seeing the infinite air supplies being used even after it was "patched"...
-
Not at all. I've seen someone using it recently and now it has a shorter range than akimbo Rangers. It's damn good on very short range like it was supposed to, but it's actually very short like it should be. I totally hated it when it was overpowered, but don't see any problem with it at all.
Never seen the infinite supplies bug on PC (or any of those legendary ones that I've heard of, like the javelin bug or whatever).
-
I never saw the Javelin one, but that supplies one is really, really annoying!!!

BURNING YOUR SOUL?
I didn't know MW thread was this popular lol. It's an awesome game anyway. Though I hope the next installment has better single player missions.
-
I still play it regularily, 5 months later. It seems the release of Bad Company 2 helped to greatly decrease the moron percentage and it's now better to play. The IWNet on PC isn't the best (in fact, the @#^W%#@% Steam is 10x worse, I HATE IT), but it's fairly stable most of the time.
Still on level 70 of second prestige, having fun with AK47 and other stuff. Will probably move on to third prestige in a week or two.

@#^W%#@% Steam is 10x worse, I HATE IT
wat
I've only installed it for MW2 and I fucking hate it. First the moronic idea of "you must download EVERYTHING before playing the game", which meant that I need to wait another 4 hours before actually being able to play MW2 after installing it (when in every other case it was natural to me that I can play single player when downloading the patches), and also if you're naive enough to believe you can stop a download you chose yourself - sorry, no way. Second, it's more unstable than IWNet itself, previous week I think they had like four or five "routine server conservations" or something similar, obviously at such a deserted time as 12AM CET, which is active time for a fine number of European players and probably 3/4 of US players (as it's around 4-8 PM in the US if I count correctly), and other than that I get disconnected from Steam every once in a while. Yeah, it's totally awesome. Really.
-
Well your experience with it is the polar opposite of mine. I've been using it for years with little to no problems. The updates download at 1 Mb/s+, the servers almost never crash, and steam itself never crashes for me. I wouldn't think of having to download updates after you install a game as being that big of a deal either.
-
The updates download at 1 Mb/s+
There you go, news for Steam crew: not everyone has a 100 Mb connection. With a 512kb, it's a bit worse.
And yes, it is a big deal. It is logical that single player is *gasp* SINGLE PLAYER, and I'd like to play it even if I live in the middle of a jungle with no connection whatsoever.
-

In fact, I just realised I don't know if it's 512 kb or 1Mb. :lol Either way... look above.

I've heard of a lot of people buying games on Steam, is there any advantage to it other than you can be lazy and don't have to leave the house? Do the games cost the same?

...you can play it with no connection. Check off the 'save account credentials' in settings, and you can play singleplayer games offline. My internet goes out all the time, I still play steam games just fine.
And as for the download speeds, I don't get anywhere NEAR that speed downloading from anywhere else, that's a testament to steam's servers, not my internet connection.

Oftentimes they have ridiculously amazing sales - I got Bioshock and STALKER for 5$ each last year, over christmas pretty much everything was 50%+ off, and they have other great sales pretty much every weekend.
-
But when the games are released do they cost the same?
-
They're usually the same, or at most 5 bucks off.
-
Yeah, they usually offer a $5 preorder discount. Sometimes they let you pre-install the game before it's officially released, so as soon as it's available, Steam unlocks it and you can start playing immediately.
-
They're usually the same, or at most 5 bucks off.
Apart from when they're about 5 million times the price that you can get on Amazon (I've come across this plenty of times).

I still play it on occasion.

Yeah man I still play this game, no doubt I will until the next one comes out. Coming up to 8th prestige now, goddamn I can't wait to get to 10 then worry about completing all the challenges. I understand all the hate for it and why it pisses everyone off, hell, it pisses me off often enough, but if you're good at it you find a way to adapt to each new n00bish problem that comes along and you deal with it. It's a lot better when playing with friends though
-
I play fairly frequently. I stopped at lvl 70 2nd prestige (3rd time leveling to 70), and have completed many challanges, got some sweet camos (Fall on Tar, for one). I still enjoy the game quite a lot.

Is your PSN posted here or is that... personal?
I've actually just started to use a sniper rifle eh. Its pretty challenging. I was thinking its cool that there's like this whole sub-culture of snipers and sniping techniques within the game. Quick scoping is pretty dang hard.
Man I sound like such a dickhead. I hate myself for this post.

Which sniper rifle do you prefer? My favourite is the Intervention. Managed to get the 'Perfectionist' Title with that.

Yeah, I've been using that. I just got that title tonight :lol. I like the WA2000 or whatever it is too.

M21 EBR is the best them
-
The ACR is the best them.
oh wait...
-
FAMAS WITH STOPPING POWER AND GRENADE LAUNCHER ATTACHMENT IS THE BEST THEM :neverusethis:
ALTERNATIVELY, RIOT SHIELD WITH TWO MODEL 1887s :neverusethis: :neverusethis:
-
:splodetard:
-
Riot shields fucking suck. I taught an entire team a lesson the other day while playing harddcore SnD. The whole team was using riot shields so I just walked ran around with one man army and threw semtex at them. I got their whole team with one semtex and ended up going 19 and 1 :lol
Soon after I got an invite for a clan tryout from them, but instead of using a shield I just bombarded them with semtex. They were not happy
-
Yeah, my post wasn't serious, I hate those people.
Pretty much one of the reasons I haven't played in a month or two
-
Yeah I caught your sarcasm, still had to share my story though :lol
-
Riot Shields can be fun, but not for prolonged use.
-
Yeah, when you are playing "Riot Control" on special ops
-
FAMAS WITH STOPPING POWER AND GRENADE LAUNCHER ATTACHMENT IS THE BEST THEM :neverusethis:
I actually use this on Wasteland, but mostly because everyone has a noob tube also.
Also, the last 3 missions in Spec-Ops on veteran = insanity!
-
I'm playing MW2 right now (and hating it) if anyone wants to join.
-
I would if I wasn't working :sadpanda:
-
Best game evar. BPBEDFORD if anyone's interested.
-
Added. I'm on now.
-
I'm kenny0491 (xbox). I'll be on later tonight

The ACR is the best AR, with the AK-47 just behind. Though I'm quite partial to the M4A1, the only bad thing about it is that the iron sights suck bewls so red dot is a must.

I hate Wasteland so much. Although when I first started, SCAR-H w/ nub tub and Thumper with Scavenger and Danger Close got me a buttload of kills. Until I realised how shitty it was to do that.

Why didn't they just use blast shield? Pretty sure that protects you from semtex exploding on your shield. Nubz.

The bad thing about the ACR is that you NEED to have stopping power with it, the damage on it is low.
:lol I've been thinking about doing that Thumper with danger close and scavenger just to piss people off.
-
I only play hardcore search. Wasteland is my favorite map because I snipe everyone on it. If I don't get atleast 9 kills I'm disappointed
-
Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I forced myself to take a week's hiatus from this game as it was consuming my life.

I use Stopping Power on every class except the rush classes. Its a must, IMO.
-
For the ACR it is, but I've found out the FAL is good with it or without it.
-
I never use it
-
Yeah, I never used to use it cos I thought it was useless. Then I played it at my brothers and he had it one every class, now I can totally tell the difference when it isn't on.
For the ACR it is, but I've found out the FAL is good with it or without it.
Someone earlier in this thread said that the FAL can burn in hell. I agree with them to the death.

It doesn't make any difference in hardcore game modes IMO
-
Yeah, well. That's true. Hardcore games piss me off so much though. Camp city.
-
Yeah, well. That's true. Hardcore games piss me off so much though. Camp city.
That's why I never play them.
So much hate for the FAL... can't handle the single shot?
-
no u
Nah, pretty much eh. I like my guns to go takatakatakataka, not just one tak.
-
But you just need a takatak and it's done.
Whatever it's just preference. Obviously you can't aim right and that's why you need takatakatakatak. :P
-
:lol we all know you should only need a tak, immediately followed by a headshot ricochet sound
-
:lol Well, tbh I used the FAL once, in one life and got pwnd so hard so never went back to it. I'm sure if I gave it time it'd be good. But right now it sucks shit. I don't think my aiming is that bad? Don't look at my accuracy stats though. Because my 6 year old nephew plays on my account. And my brother in law, who is somewhat retardation.
Ah man I'm only one day into my MW fast and I reaaally wanna play it now. fuk this thread, i'm thru with u kbai
-
WHOA! Just playing now, and with one sniper bullet I got 3 headshots. I almost cried I was so happy
-
pics or it didn't happen buddy.
lol jk. Nice. Are you on 360?
-
Yeah, kenny0491. Is there a way to take screenshots? Cause I would have taken about 600 :lol
-
Oh dang I'm PS3. I take photos with my iPhone whenever something amazing that I do pops up. Which is like... never.
-
olol

I stopped playing this game months ago because of all the glitches. I go to give it another chance today, and this is what I saw in my first game!!! Needless to say, I wasn't playing long.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np3kN0cLApw
-
Hahaha that's awesome! I've never seen anything like that before.
I still play this game quite a lot eh. I recently got 44 kills on Karachi in a game of Team Deathmatch. Was proud. Very proud.

Still my favourite game ever
-
Wow that's horrible!
-
lol
-
I was talking about the video, but it applies to your post as well.
-
So, 44 Kills on Team D eh, can anybody beat that, eh??
-
Yes.
-
... So.
-
Didn't say I could personally, but I'm pretty sure someone could.
-
I'm sure someone in the world could, but I wanted to know if anyone here could. I might go play now actually. Gosh I dunno. Its a slow night.
-
I'm sure someone in the world could, but I wanted to know if anyone here could. I might go play now actually. Gosh I dunno. Its a slow night.
I've beaten it. On standard TDM my best score is 48-5 (Derail), with other memorable scores being 44-2 (Rundown) and 30-0 (Afghan.) But my highest kill count is on Domination, 83-14 (Salvage.)
The current state of the game is frustrating though, loads of hacked rooms and players.

46 kills in groundwar TDM. What's your guys' kds? Mine on 360 was 1.3 (I spent half of it's lifetime pretty much a Xmas noob) and now on PS3 it's 1.93.
-
Mine's dropped a lot recently because a) I've been using different killstreak rewards trying to get 1000 kills on each (only sentry gun, attack helicopter and stealth bomber to go!) b) I've been using different weapons trying to get all kills/headshots etc and c) I'm just not as good as I used to be because I play it a lot less than I used to. Currently I'm at 1.90, about 6 months ago I was at 2.15

Groundwar no countie, Mr! I'm talking ten minutes, normal sized teams.
My ratio is absolute crap. I was a complete FPS noob when I started and I've had about 10 different people regularly play on my account on PS3, some as young as 5 :lol.
-
I only need three more achievements and they all have to do with Spec Ops.
-
pfft singleplayer
-
I only need three more achievements and they all have to do with Spec Ops.
I bet they are the same 3 I've got left.
Get 3 stars on every mission, 3 on at least 15 missions and some other one.
Also, Spec Ops is the best thing about this game.

Yep, the last one's to get a star on every mission.
-
Don't want this to sound anti-console or whatever, but seriously I've never seen crap like this on PC. You can run into an aimbot or wallhack every now and then, but nothing as ridiculous as this.
Played again a bit recently, but for some strange reason I'm not drawn very much to FPS genre atm. I still really like it though.
As for most kills, I think it's this one. https://screenshot.xfire.com/s/93174313-4.jpg Domination, it's a bit old already though. Don't remember anything better.
-
I think my "most kills game" was 65-7... my best kd game is 30-0 I think, flawless FFA.
-
I once killed 109 on a team tactical domination on rust.
-
I have been trying to play this the last 2 days, and honestly can't stand it anymore. That hack I posted a video of is everywhere. Every other game I enter, some vagina is pulling that shit. Exploding dual deagles, rocket shotguns, etc... Also, the use of grenade launchers has really started to annoy. I get killed more by GL's than regular ammo.
-
There were a couple of hacked lobbies last night when I tried to play. I just exited them and found a legit one. Its probably worse on the American servers or whatever though.
-
This game has now become impossible to play, at least on PS3. Every game I go in has one of these hackers in it. It reminds me of what Counter Strike became and why I quit playing PC games. I guess the problem isn't with IW, its with the PS3 for recently getting hacked. IW claims they are working on a fix, but I think they are fucked. It's up to Sony to stop this. It is at the point where the guy hacking can disable your menu. The only way you can exit the game it to quit entirely and restart.
-
and why I quit playing PC games.
Sorry, but seriously, on PC it's way better and the first time I hear about things like this is from you.

Says about PS3 only. Never seen anything like it on PC. Hackers happen but are pretty rare.
-
I never said it was on the PC version. I compared it to the hacks that used to be done on Counter Strike years ago.
-
Yeah the hackers are getting pretty bad. But I don't want to have to play Black Ops. :'(
-

Yeah seriously. Black Ops is so bad man, I'll stick with MW2 for the time being, hackers or no hackers.
-
I refuse to purchase black ops.
-
Well, I don't know... I really like Black Ops, the single player was awesome, but... for some strange reason I got bored with it. I cannot explain why.
-
The multiplayer is IMMENSELY boring. Because killstreaks don't add to each other, all of the shitty players that want a chopper gunner just sit around and camp for them with ghost instead of going out and getting nine kills. Since there are A LOT of bad players like this the gameplay becomes incredibly slow-paced. Another contributor to this snore-fest is the lack of Stopping Power, or more directly, the low amount of damage that bullets do.
-
For me one of the worst things about Black Ops is the lack of good secondary weapons. Bringing shotguns and automatic handguns etc into the game as secondary weapons in MW2 was a stroke of genius IMO, and Treyarch leaving them out in BO was a real step back for me.
Also I thought the single player campaign was terrible, and didn't bother completing it. It was completely uninvolving, and I lost interest in it very quickly.
-
I think making shotguns primaries again was good. The ones in BO just suck major balls. Any of the shotguns from MW2 would make great primaries (Models unpatched), as that's how I use them anyway. About the Machine Pistols though, I have to agree. Aside from the shotguns, I thought the secondaries were very balanced in MW2. The Machine Pistols of course were automatic but also took longer to equip. The Pistols equipped quicker than lightning and the option for a tactical knife was powerful. The launchers are all powerful and useful. Here's my rankings of all the weapons in MW2:
ARs
ACR with Silencer
M16 with Holographic Sight
SCAR with Extended Mags
FAMAS with Silencer
TAR with Silencer
AK47 with FMJ
FAL with Holographic Sight
F2000 with Holographic Sight
SMGs
UMP45 with Silencer
P90 with Silencer
Mini Uzi with Silencer
MP5K with FMJ
Vector with Silencer
LMGs
AUG HBAR with Grip
RPD with Grip
MG4 with Red Dot Sight
M240 with Holographic Sight
Snipers
Intervention with FMJ
Barret .50 Cal with Thermal Scope
M21 EBR with Thermal Scope
WA2000 with Thermal Scope
MPs
M93 Raffica Akimbo
PP2000 with Extended Mags
G18 Akimbo
TMP with Extended Mags
Shotguns
SPAS-12 with Extended Mags
AA12 with Extended Mags
Ranger Akimbo
M1014 with Extended Mags
Model 1887 Akimbo
Striker Silencer
Launchers
Stinger (obviously not that useful for killing but it's the only launcher I have on any of my classes
RPG
AT4
Javelin
Thumper

Yeah seriously. Black Ops is so bad man, I'll stick with MW2 for the time being, hackers or no hackers.
Black ops is much better IMO, it is much more balanced. They took out a lot of things, but I think it is all for the better of the game.
-
It's really not that balanced. The only effective weapons are ARs, and don't say anything about the 74u because it is one, practically. In MW2 if there was no option for noobtubes it would be very balanced. Every weapon is effective in it's own way and all of them have drawbacks. As for perks, the only one that is immediately more effective than the rest is Stopping Power. It's not like CoD4 where the M16 was the God-Gun, along with Tri-frag and Martyrdom.
-
The lack of Stopping Power is the greatest strength of Black Ops. It was a total nobrain perk for retards which ruined the game all the way from CoD4 to MW2. And the lowest of the low that could be seen is noobs in CoD4 whining about Juggernaut when using Stopping Power. I'm really glad they got rid of it and I just don't understand why they even created it in the first place.
The weapons in MW2 are pretty well balanced indeed, and rather diverse. In CoD4 I was playing with MP5 (no, not the lame AK74u, which sucks contrary to common opinion) and AK47 90% of the time, in MW2 I'd say UMP45 is my favourite but I end up changing guns very often. There's nothing that's overpowered unless it involves stopping power.
-
I don't like the concept of a perk that raises gun damage, but I prefer the damage that guns did in MW2 and CoD4 than the weak-ass sprinklers in BO. It makes for more fast-paced gameplay. We all know that BO is not the best for that. :P
-
The problem I've had with BO is that it actually became more chaotic and too random. Lack of stopping power removed the problem of noobs who can own because of one perk, but I got the impression actually aiming skills make an even smaller difference because it's just too easy to get kills. Maybe I'm still too much with my roots in games like Enemy Territory where you normally had 120 HP and one SMG hit dealt 18 damage, but I don't like it that I can have a great day and could own everything I wish but really it all goes down to reflexes.
-
Apparently, the hacks on MW2 on PS3 are because of the people that cracked the PS3 because MW2 uses the security from the console that was hacked.
EDIT: Reading this makes little sense, but basically, those hacks are possible because of some security issues that were hacked in the PS3 and MW and MW2 uses them so that's why the hacks are possible. Treyarch don't use them, so BO or WaW don't have hacks on them.
-
There are rumors that the modern warfare servers dor PS3 are getting tempoarily shut down.
-
I thought that was for Black Ops. Source?
-
That sucks, are these hacks just on the ps3? I have a 360 and have not noticed anything wrong
-

-
Is One Man Army noobtubing gone yet? If not i seriously have to ask what the fuck. Was it really intended? :yeahright
-
There aren't going to be anymore patches. The reason there haven't been any is because of the amount of Infinity Ward employees that have left. The studio and Activision had arguments over these patches and people ended up getting fired.
-
Bump.
Damn this game to the lowest hell. I used to be good but now I can't play a single game without getting raped. Through with it.
K bye.
-
this game still blows donkey penis
-
I can always get a laugh out of this game playing online with the pals. Uber rage when I play alone though.

How fucking frustrating it is >:(.

Doesn't reach half the frustration Black Ops gives me, really. But that's a lot as it is.
-
It's the same game...
-
When you play enough of both the minor differences tend to stand out more.
-
Black ops is a lot different. It feels kinda clunky, not as smooth.
-
Yeah I don't like Black Ops at all, but I still play MW2 for a bit. And I'm totally excited for MW3!
-
I cant wait for MW3. November is too far away. I hope that they do some sort of free beta or something!
-
I can't wait either. It seems like the developers have finally learned to listen to the community.
-

No actually, I was being serious. Haven't you play the last 2 releases? Those first 2 months ARE the beta period for CoD games.
The last CoD game that got a beta was WaW, it had a 360-only beta.

CoD XP this September will provide veteran players the chance to play Multiplayer two months early, and since a lot of the guys in the community know what they're doing, I'm sure IW/SH will get plenty of feedback before release.

What's CoD XP?

I just went back to MW2 after 2 years away from it to play Gears 2 and such. I had a .85 k/dr before hand and have since raised it to a .99 over the past 2 months or so. I loved Black Ops for awhile, but ultimately sold it because the game, while balanced just didn't work. The guns were weak and seriously the map packs were horrid.
Two.
Why do people use One Man Army for Noobtubing? Just equip Scavenger...
Three.
What the hell is with all of the RPG's these days? Also, when did killstreaks get taken down BO's style quick. My harriers last 5 seconds now...
Four.
No one can stop my UMP, it's way too cheap. I love it.

A weekend expo that Activision is doing this year.
And while maybe some of the bugs might be corrected because of this expo, there's still gonna be tons of bugs that will get by, just as there is in any game.
Even though BF3 has gotten an alpha MP and will get a beta MP in September, I still expect there to be a lot of bugs when the final game is released.

I go through phases of enjoying it. Though I'm sure my old account is cursed due to boosting. I swear as soon as I log off it and use another account I play a LOT better. I'm not kidding.
-
The only time I even remotely enjoyed it was when I was goofing off with my friends. I will admit though that this happened pretty often. (like every night the summer after my senior year lol)
Basically I was always the guy trolling with RPGs and noob tubes with one man army or scavenger.
-
I took the ACR with Noob Tube out on Terminal, Got a chopper gunner. Finished 25-5. They got mad.

Fuck guys like you. I rage so hard at trolls in MW2. I'm just trying to get my nuke with my modest TAR-21 and AC-130.

all of the killstreaks are so lol

They are when the highest you can get is UAV, U NOOB

Correction, Chopper Gunner is more CHEAP.
But my usual nuke classes are:

(this one is mostly used on Wasteland where it's uber easy to get the nuke)
Primary: RPD Grip
Secondary: PP2000 Extended Mags
Equipment: Claymore
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro
Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro
Perk 3: Ninja Pro
(this one is mostly used on Terminal where you can spawn-kill down the main hallway if you have flags B and C)
@Dimitrius, yes, but it makes up for it when I rape anyway.

I just dropped by to say that the universal interest in this game is making my seriously consider getting it. I hate first shooters like hell as I can't enjoy the game if I can't see my character and be fully aware of his surroundings. Also I value campaigns much more than online play. Should I get this game?

DO NOT get this game for the online multiplayer.

I just dropped by to say that the universal interest in this game is making my seriously consider getting it. I hate first shooters like hell as I can't enjoy the game if I can't see my character and be fully aware of his surroundings. Also I value campaigns much more than online play. Should I get this game?
Nope. The story here is told awfully, though the set pieces are entertaining, and if you didn't play the first one you won't understand most of it because a lot of things are said in passing so you have to extrapolate from your knowledge of the first one.
And if you're not gonna play the MP, then this game becomes a rental, unless you love the Spec Ops missions (the best part of the game IMO).
