    Does anyone else think multiplayer is **** and wish they would concentrate more on making the one player game longer and more challenging?

    No.

    It's unashamedly a multiplayer game. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

    Deal with it

    Modern Warfare 2 single player is an amusing little diversion. When my internet is down. I bought MW2 purely for it's incredible multi-player and I am sure that most of the people here did the same.

    multiplayer is great.

    Multiplayer is epic. Thought the single player is grand and special-ops is fantastic.

    I bought it for single player,which i enjoyed immensly played it through several times got all the intel(although i had to cheat with the one on the snow mobiles,how the hell are you supposed to find that)
    As for the multiplayer,I can't put it down It's so much fun never really played any multiplayer games and am now up to level 43 and getting better every day.I love the leveling up system and am just starting to rock the M16 bring it on.

    I don't think multiplayer is great either. I wouldn't say its sh!t, but a bit disappointing in my opinion.

    I also bought it for multiplayer but have been playing campaign and spec-ops most of the time as I think multiplayer was a bit disappointing as I said above. It just doesn't feel right and I don't like the maps.

    Which multiplayer FPS isn't occasionally frustrating? Particularly to the more skilled players as they (we :p) have higher expectations. But, ultimately this is a brilliant game in every respect.

    I couldn't play sp because steam was down one day ... just unplugged my router ... and surprise surprise ..can't play the SP cause of steam ... so could you tell me how u did play the SP ??


    OP ... ur right the multiplayer is CRAP ... for pc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭ronkmonster


    You have to run single player parts of games once on steam before you can set it up for offline play.
    One of the bad parts of steam.

    I bought MW2 for the single player but I did enjoy the multiplayer for a bit.
    I generally prefer single player games anyway or a bit of left 4 dead.

    I'd say the only reason you don't like the multiplayer is because you suck at it.

    Ppractice, practice, practice.

    its probly the best online multiplayer of all time in my opinion, saying its s*** must mean your muck at it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭saltie


    I love it. It just clicked with me last night and i was getting wins and coming i nthe top three most of the time. Once it clicks beware of the addictionnessnessnesss


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,305 ✭✭✭DOC09UNAM


    i thought the maps sucked too, until i played the shiit out of it for a few days...

    When you get the hang of them they are awesome.

    I mean Rust on Free-For-All...

    There is no better fun in a multiplayer game.

    this is your first multiplayer game..isn't it?;)
    Have you not heard of BF2/Battlefield Vietnam/BF1942/COD1,2,4?
    All far better than MW2..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,758 ✭✭✭weisses


    For me ... a PC gamer used to the kind of gameplay MoH, CoD provided for the last decade, this is the biggest fail i ever bought and I am playing fps for more then 10 years now

    This game is made for the console with the fps p2p crap mp that goes with it

    Pc gaming or console gaming ... two totally different things ....

    Yep I'm spoiled playing cod4 HC on a dedicated server with a ping of 40


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭Soby


    Hmmm multiplayer which can has basically unlimited game play for just single player which could be prob be made a day longer of gaming...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 844 ✭✭✭Yellowledbetter


    I got the game on release day and only started playing it online last nite coz to be honest I just never got into the online thing,low and behold Im think Im becoming addicted.
    It does take a while to get into(I kept getting killed before i walked 10 feet at first) but its well worth sticking with coz you will eventually start getting the hang of it and it becomes very rewarding.
    Have to go to work now and i wish i could bring my PS3 with me!!!!

    I really enjoy the multi-player, while totally crap but I will someday be good :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 659 ✭✭✭Nemesis


    I cant walk about without losing control let alone target someone and shoot them! :).

    I find online playing very frustrating..is there any servers dedicated to total console noobs.

    I've played FPS Since Quake1 but with mouse and keyboard.

    My kids kill me with such ease...Maybe I should drag them to a DM4 deathmatch on Q1 for revenge!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭RAIN


    I love the multiplayer, very refined. Kill boxes are a little odd and the Javelin Glitch was rampant last night but I mainly play Domination so not really an issue there. Very hard to not use anything that you have maxed though.Scar with bling 4 ever.

    I love the heartbeat sensor with all my heart :)

    Definitely. I actually went and bought BF2 again recently (had lost the original and its only €10) just because it's so much better as a multiplayer game than MW2. MW2 is a pleasant enough diversion but there's only so much fun you can get from a game where the only objective is to kill everyone else. I know that's part of BF2 too but at least in BF2 you feel like you're part of a team with actual objectives to capture. MW2 is not the worst ever but I'll probably trade it in soon. Bad Company 2 anyone?

    the OP's post was about the single player game basically just being an add on and he thinks the MP is crap.You didnt mention the single player game,you had your rant about the PC gamers being ****ed over cos of the dedicated servers and custom maps,And your right but the gameplay hasnt changed.The multi player is still good.

    I also play MW and Cod on the pc,so im not just coming from a console direction

    I agree the multiplayer is ****e for the reasons i gave .... maybe he thinks the same i don't know forgot about the sp (was to short to remember)

    and its not a rant ... pc players got screwed ...that's a fact ... bought it tried it and i think its utter ****e ...

    but hey the boose got cheaper so I stop complaining for the time being :D:D
