If you wanted ultra realistic damage the game would be a disaster.
Shot to the leg.... down....but alive.....
single shot to the chest trunk or head no matter the round..... dead.
Beat someone to death with a gun ..... far more than 2 strikes.

play dragon rising if you want realism.

i understand where you are coming from but fact is snipers are hugely underpowered in relation to assault rifles. It can take 2 sniper bullets to kill sometimes with Stopping power but one 3 round burst with a FAMAS or M16 normally does the trick.

Well it is a game with the p2p netcode written by cretins who seem to think that every network connection is perfect. The game itself has been turned into an arcade game by mickey mouse console writers who hate dedicated servers. Did you really expect it to be accurate?

This.

I was watching a show on the Discovery Channel or something and a Barrett bullet is a killshot to the gut from 2 and a half miles away and for some reason when I quickscope some guy from point blank range he doesn't die :mad:

Well the Discovery Channel show featured real weapons firing real bullets. The Barrett fires a big bullet which leaves an even bigger hole in the target when it exits and it drags along a lot of meat and viscera in the process. You don't fast scope a Barrett in real life and you don't run around shooting with it like it is an M16. It is a big weapon (roughly four to six feet long depending on the model) - probably bigger than a lot of the people who play MW2. Even the Intervention is going to be about four feet in length.

What you are playing is a computer game.

I have never, ever understood kill streaks. Having someone on your team who can get 10 kills in a row is advantage enough, you don't need an AC130 or whatever on top of it. It just causes games to snowball and gives one good player on a team far too much input. Whoever came up with the idea of a nuke is a bloody idiot and has no concept of what made COD a great game in the past."Noobs" (god I hate that word) get a hard enough time anyway, it's worse when they further contribute to a team's defeat by giving away easy steak awards.

The matchmaking in no way helps them either. It was possible to find servers that were well admined that were for new players. It was possible to find servers that focused on certain maps. It was possible to find servers that had multiple gametypes instead of having to leave and find a new server everytime you want something different. Matchmaking is by far the biggest problem with MW2 for anyone wh doesn't solely concentrate on one gametype. Different maps lend themselves well to different gametypes, and a nice server rotation was the best thing you could find. I found servers I liked in the past, played on them a lot and actually got to know the people who frequented them. That community aspect is completely gone now. That is by far my biggest problem with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the IW muppets have to hire extra security to prevent people kicking the crap out of them if they attend any shows or events. They have completely ruined the community element of the game. They have also facilitated cheaters and other assorted scum. On a well adminned server, such scum could be deepsixed easily. Now it is wide open to the problems - problems that had been largely solved through community interaction.

Fully agree with the latest replies to this thread.

My pet hates are :

They dumbed the game down so much to appeal to the kids on console [ i realise not all console users are kids i play the 360 at times myself with my son ]
I agree its just a game but they just dumbed it right down to an arcade mess.
I could go on and on about all the silly perks,dual weapons,silly accuracey etc but my biggest issues are

1. I have never come across such abuse and anger in all my 15 or so years of online gaming,it is rampant and absolutely nothing decent folk can do about it except leave the game.
If we had dedicated servers these morons would not be so evident.

2. IW totally wrecked a vibrant commmunity that actually played as a team and turned it in to individuals who only seek self gratification with their never ending quest for killstreaks.

Having said that i do play the odd game for a quick blast and enjoy it but it is someway down the list of online first person shooters for me.
At times you can get a good game going with decent people who play as a team and it can be fun but sadly with matchmaking its only too rare.
Again i refer to dedicated servers because our clan used to run servers for various games including the COD series and literally having hundreds of like minded regulars visiting our servers.
You were guaranteed good teamplay in a friendly atmosphere.
We were just one small community amongst the massive community as a whole.
This is gone now with MW2 unfortunately.


I spotted this video over on the pc forum for bad company2 , gave me a lol

ha ha if my team looses it doesnt bother me all that much . just once I win im happy (ie biggest kill/death ratio). but i agree with the whole kill streak thing maybe at least improve the death streaks to help a little . i was thinking about increased ammo for stingers and such but then we'd have to make a new thread complaining about people spamming missle launchers

Looks like the game is gonna be totally fecked over the next few weeks. Some one posted a while back a vid showing new glitches on the pc. It was suspected that none of these would arise on the consoles. been reading about them on other forums and a few people saying that they saw them on the 360 , with a lot of people saying they were lying and that it was impossible. A chap that I know fairly well was adament that he was in a game where they were used and up until last night I didn't believe him. I came across a guy floating and coming through the walls. Thought at first that it was just a weird glitch and wasn't deliberate until after the game where the guy had a kd of 40 and 0 and was bragging about god mode. HE left the party after that.
Now I'm not a 100% still if these new glitches are online as I haven't come across all of them my self yet. Some are saying that a small number from some clan have the glitches but will not release them openly as they want to keep using them just for themselves. However, the nature of this ****e is that it'll propbably pop up on some site over the next few weeks and then every ahole will be using them and MW2 will be forever broken. I myself plan on getting rid of it soon enough and getting Bad Company 2 as an alternative similar shooter to keep me going.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are super speed lobbies? Is this a XBox JTAG'd lobby where the intermission is reduced/gone? I.e. not available on the PS3 lobbies?

if only . no super speed entails everyone moving hundreds of times (slight exageration maybe lol) faster than they should . and also sliding a lot too

greenman09

is this the start of the glitches again? was in one of these games the other nite. quit straight away couldn't be bothered with messed up games

I was in a game last night, adn I don't know it it was a cheat or a glitch, or what, but at the very start of the gameon highrise when we all spawned someone from the opposite team ran into the room straight away and went about stabbing us as we spawned. He effectively started the game with 6 kills. :mad:

Happened to me a few times, heard some one say alright that its some respawn glitch. It could be of course that he ran to the room in time and got ye all. But doubt it.

He would've had to make it all the way across Highrise in about 2 seconds. I was ready for the countdown, in so that I had my class selected so as it soon as it hit 0 I was in the game, and he arrived about a second later.

Unfortunately because of all the boosting most people see it and presume that the person boosted to get it, so in an ironic way its now a symbol for cheats and people that are probably crap at the game. I always get a laugh when I see people around rank 30 with the symbol. So obvious that they're boosters.

tried playing again today alas no joy a truly awful experience

I was playing MW2 tonight, against a group of Irish people, from different clans, namely 'IRA' and 'EIRE', and another couple who just had the Irish flag, and I swear to God - Noob tube, camping, noob tube, camping, etc, etc.

I don't think I got killed once and thought to myself it was a nice kill. And they were all on at least 2nd prestige or level 70 of prestige 1.

Bloody hell lads if you're going to play like that at least pretend not to be Irish, we're not all noobs! You're giving us a bad name.

Yep. Stopped using it myself as its a boosters emblem of choice. I love playing a game with guys using it and they cant even aim straight and have 3kills and 10deaths. This is a tell tale sign of a booster.

I hadn't played since Friday so I came on tonight expecting to be mildly rusty.

Went in for a bit of mosh pit. First game, capture the flag in Afghan. Grand. No problems. Not a great score but middle of the table. I'm happy. Then these two guys joined the game for the next round, there names were Danielli and Diego (psn were varients of their names). Their first game, they start giving out about this player on our team, and saying that they were going to keep smoking him until he stopped sniping.

Next game was sabotage in Invasion. I was doing really well. In sabotage, I don't like carrying the bomb myself. I'll defend the carrier and I'll kill the other team but I hate carrying the bomb because I always die a ridiculous amount when I do, as in -10 K/d ratio.:o I killed the bomb carrier and left the bomb on the ground, where it was in my view, inviting someone on my team who were nearby to pick it up. While I was waiting, in the space of 30 seconds I got a 7 kill streak from the other team repetitively going for the bomb. I die. Respawn and my team has the bomb. I help guide them across the whole map while the rest of my team die and rejoin us agian, I am the the only person not to die during this attack. I get my killstreaks again (pred, harr, pave) and we plant the bomb. Again I'm the only person not to die while the bomb is planted holding off the other team more of less alone for about 15 of the seconds because my team spawned half way across the map. I finish 37-10.

We win but diego and danielli (who were on my team) start calling me a camper. I don't mind, camper isn't very degoratory.

Next round domination in rundown. Again I kick ass, help my team by capturing most points, defend the captured points, call in all my killstreaks, generally just play well. We win and I end up 23-12. Again the same two call me a n00b, a f*gg*t and say I rape old men. WTF?

I more or less won these games for my team alone, they had only got around 12-12 each in each round and they give out to me about not playing the game properly. They insult me for doing well? It's people like this that prevent mw2 being a good team game.

I'm not sure whether the rules of this thread allow someone to disagree with a complaint but....

Surely that can happen in any game? Dicks are dicks, and they are everywhere.

It is a pity that there is no function to vote kick people off a team, but there is always the mute button.

This is why you should prestige and leave one class with OMA, NoobToob, Danger Close and Claymores. Simply blast them out of it.
