This thread makes me smile

Even with all the complaining I've done about this game in other threads

It is still one of the best games out there! We all can get annoyed at some parts of it, but for the 45 euro spent on it, it's given me a lot a game time

Still my fav. part of this game is multiplayer when you're just in the zone, decimate the other team and they start calling you a cheater

I'm not the best player and I have really bad days too, but I love that killing goodness of winning that much

I love how even this thread has people pissing and moaning about mw2. "I love mw2 but this, this and this is sh*t" that's what the cod forum on boards has been reduced to.

So what do you love about the game? On-topic please...

Onearmedbandit · 15-02-2010, 18:08

Sorry r3nu4l. I like when you get a run of 3-4 games where you are on fire and the killstreak rewards are just bonuses rewarding your good play.

I like the game because whatever I initially perceive to be imbalanced usually sorts itself out when I switch up my tactics. The killstreaks did cause me a lot of headaches initially but now I just switch classes and shoot them down if I get killed, or stick indoors and pick off all the people who rush in there to avoid the air support.

Watching some of the pro's youtube commentary games opened up the potential of the game a lot for me as well. There's a lot of wacky different ways to play the game. Being aggressive can even work if you know the maps inside out and know what you're doing.

I'm starting to enjoy modes I didn't like in the first place as well. Used played nothing but S&D but I've got massively addicted to FFA in the last two weeks.

I pretty much hated this game for the first couple of months. The longer I play it the more I enjoy it.

I haven't encountered any real problems with people exploiting, other than the nuke boosting which is actually kind of fun because the people doing it are usually absolute noobs and when you find them they end up dying a rake of times when they respawn.

After choosing a new primary weapon (M16A4), new equipment (Claymores) and a new perk (Scavenger), I was a killing machine last night.

I'd tried the M16A4 when I unlocked it, but didn't like the 3-shot burst. I was more of a 'fire everywhere, someone's bound to get hit' kinda guy. But now I see the 3-shot burst means less recoil, so when I aim at someone, I actually hit them. Got a load of longshots and headshots last night.

The claymores took a while to get used to. Kept thinking I still had semtex, so if I saw someone in a window above, I kept just laying a claymore in the middle of the road below

. But on a level such as Estate, it really helps to both rack up the kills, but also let you know that there are enemies coming from that direction. Quick switch to the shotgun and KABLAMMO!

Scavenger, I'm still not fully sold on. I guess I just need a little more time with it though. Now that I have claymores, for some reason I keep forgetting about the noobtube. I suppose thats really when Scavenger helps out. Does Scavenger only get ammo for your currently equipped weapon or does it resupply all?

Either way, I discovered a new way to play the game last night, and I loved it

Enigma IE · 16-02-2010, 11:20

Scavenger will also re-supply you with claymores, ammo for your noob tubes, primary weapon and I'm pretty sure your secondary weapon. It's legend.

There is no recoil worth mentioning in the game mate.
Its just a graphical representation of recoil, ie your gun graphically pops up and down but notice how it pops back down to exactly where you started

Games with proper recoil dont magically drop your crosshair or ironsight back to its starting position they expect you to re- target and atleast try to simulate some degree of realism, some more than others ofcourse.
Play day of defeat source, red orchestra or similar titles to see what i mean.

Make no mistake MW2 is as far from realism as you can get.
Ofcourse to those not interested in realism its fun

Yeah I know, see it loads of times in game winning killcams how only half the shots might actually hit someone, the rest slightly to the side, yet it still kills them. I guess it's just the graphical representation that makes me less likely to try and adjust and compensate for the recoil

Cuddlesworth · 16-02-2010, 11:56

I like this game for one reason. I'm a very very good fps player and this game does nothing but reward me for being good and punish others for being bad.

You have to have your secondary selected when you run over the blue bag though I think. As in if you are on 50% ammo on primary and secondary, and run over it with primary selected, you stay on 50% ammo for secondary.

I'm nearly sure that is correct anyway...
