MW2 has turned into a joke...

EIREHotspur · 08-02-2010 01:33PM

Dispite the gripes I still love COD as a game.

Played BC2 Demo last night and think it is muck in comparison.

Just doesn't have the smooth feel and movement of COD.

Where?

Thread tidied, let's try to keep on-topic...

Ranger 1887, great weapon but akimbo is a bit ridiculous tbh. However, it is limited by the reload time but coupled with the right perks it's a funny weapon. I always have to laugh at the guys legging it all around the map at the speed of light* with these things...until they shoot me :mad:

However, I don't mind that sort of thing so much as I do glitching. Legitimately using weapons and perks is okay as far as I'm concerned but glitching is what's making the game difficult to play. Although yesterday I wasn't in one single infinite-care package game

*Exaggeration!

I've only ever played Team Deathmatch on both COD4 and MW2. Should I try the other game modes if they are as bad as it seems and are the other modes as fun as TDM when just playing with random folk as opposed to friends.

deffo play domination - it's a very different feel from TDM, and a nice break every now and again

It's also great for helping you learn the maps!

r3nu4l · 09-02-2010 05:13PM

Played some FFA games yesterday, my first since the first week I got the game...

CAMPFEST!

I was running around deserted maps for ages and ages only to be knifed when running past a bush or shot at from behind a dumpster...

Once I got used to it I just ran around spraying bullets and throwing grenades into long grass and corners :rolleyes:

Boring compared with TDM games.

John_Mc · 09-02-2010 05:15PM

Loving Demolition at the moment

Stevokenevo · 09-02-2010 05:44PM

In relation to care-package glitching, wouldn't it be relatively easy for MS to pull some kind of activity report that shows folks that haven't actually made enough kills for the amount of Care Packages they have called in?

i.e. if each care package takes either 3 or 4 kills, then someone with X care package call-ins should have at least a 3 or 4 killstreak X times. Anyone who hasn't done it is obviously glitching = Ban.

James Forde · 09-02-2010 05:45PM

Thats some nice work r3nu4l i tip my hat to you :hatip:

Offside · 09-02-2010 08:14PM

My brother showed me a mad glitch there yesterday, if you shoot a helicopter with a missile and it has black smoke coming out of it then switch to a machine gun every shot that hits the helicopter counts as you having shot one down.
It's a joke that things like this are in the game..

It's because instead of hiring skilled games developers for this title, following the success of the last game Infinity Ward decided to save money, therefore increasing profit, by hiring a bunch of inbred apes to write the game. Inbred apes who apparently never bothered testing the game, instead wrote a load of half asses code and then spent the rest of their employment sucking the nuts of the execs in the hope of getting a slice of the profits.

As each day passes, the matchmaking gets worse. It's unreal. 5 games I joined today where we filled the lobby to 1 under the required amount, then it "merged lobbies" and I found myself sitting there with one other person until the lobby then closed.

I'll genuinely be glad if the next MW title is done by a different company. I've lost every ounce of respect I had for IW after MW as a result of this farce.

FFA and TDM are depressing game modes. its where all the boosters and OCD k/d ratio kids hang out. domination and capture the flag can be excellent at times if you get fairly well matched teams.

If you hit a pavelow with at4 rocket launcher then continue to shoot it with an rpd you will go from starter cold blooded to cold blooded pro.

I love domination, great game mode.

EIREHotspur · 11-02-2010 12:14PM

"Rumour has it"?

That the company won't be making the follow up to the biggest selling game of all time?

Do you see Warner Brothers giving up the Batman Franchise anytime soon?

I think this rumour is gibberish.

IW don't own Modern warfare, Activision do. it's up to activision who makes MW3

Edit:

rumour may have started by mis-interpreting this info:

I started to listen in and the first question I heard was about the leapfrog with IW and TreyArch and the possibility of bringing in another studio -- A summary of their responce: Strategy to annualize the franchise continuing, 2 year developmental period, more developmental ideas, and a mention of subscription based service. They skipped the bit about another studio.

Yes they did mention the success of subscription based service and from what it sounded like, they want to integrate a subscription based service into the Call of Duty franchise. Personally I find this disturbing, but I also realise that the odds are the subscription based Call of Duty's will come out of Infinity Ward rather than both IW and TreyArch together.

So what we have: A new Call of Duty in the Holiday Season of this year. Continuation of the leapfrog with IW and TreyArch and the two year development cycle. Possibility of bringing in a subscription based service to Call of Duty, or a game style to utilize this.

I've spent the last half hour trying to get into games <60 ms and that aren't running with me being dumped onto a team that are losing heavily.

FU IW FUFUFUFUFUFU

KamiKazi · 14-02-2010 02:00AM

It hasn't turned into a joke, it's been a joke ever since IW released details of it.

Only people finding it suprising now are idiots that were too stupid to take heed when warned of it six months ago.

Rb · 15-02-2010 02:14AM

I'll put €50 towards the kitty to pay someone to track down the lead developer for MW2 and smash his fingers until the bones are turned to dust.

Edit: On second thought, it appears the game was developed by retarded apes banging their head off keyboards while off their face on ecstasy & acid cocktails, so I think finger obliteration would be redundant

Redzer7 · 15-02-2010 02:31AM

3 times in a row today it migrated host, fúck sake.
Can't even have a decent game, I've gone more to private matches now with
mates and stuff don't really see the point in playing half a game for it to migrate host and kick everyone out

.

Sometimes though i'd be playing well, and it would migrate host and it would just kick me out for no reason

and I would try to join my mates session again and I would have to start again

joke!

Sod'o swords · 15-02-2010 11:28AM

With the lack of dedicated servers i didn't bother with the pc version and just got the xbox one, wasn't bothered playing a console game wrangled onto the Pc.

And seriously, is everyone on xbox a pleb?

The game is ridiculously easier, i'd be on for about 2 hours and get at least three nukes.
It's just boringly easy now, and the amount of bugs, glitches and annoying perks/guns, i'm losing faith.

I could play COD2 and 4 till my eyes bled, but this, i've given up already.

Might have to try this 'Real life' lark instead.

Dcully · 15-02-2010 12:07PM

I have it on pc and 360 and yeah it sucks bigtime imo.
Stupidiy ridiculous perks,idiotic akimbo weapons,absolutely no recoil in the weapons.
Its nothing more than an arcade shooter and a total snoozefest.
Give me any other pc fps any day.

I'm going to give you some advice. Take it for free; I don't even care if you don't want it, here it is.

Stop playing Modern Warfare 2.

I've seen numerous posts by you here and can't remember one that wasn't a complaint, which of course is your right. If you're not happy about something, voice it. What I'm suggesting is that playing this game is not good for you as a person. So, play something else.

*tongue firmly in cheek*

Nalz · 15-02-2010 01:09PM

Weapons etc - meh.. i know people with marathon pro and lightweight et can get annoying

But what bugs the shi't out of me is people cheating. Hiding in corners and boosting there killstreaks for the nuke.

The riot shield thing doesn't bother me too much, its the little shi'ts that ruin the game for others by uumping up their kills and winning in 3 minutes thanks to their lie and die tactical insertion buddies. When you leave a game with that going on, you get a defeat for your troubles! Yay!!

major bill · 15-02-2010 02:21PM

few things on it that annoy me, users been shot in the head and not dying really p1sses me off!!!!!!

came across a couple of boosters today and so decided to gatecrash there lil party ended up getting a nice killstreak outta the dumb fcukers.:D

Sod'o swords · 15-02-2010 05:10PM

The host left as i had the nuke detonator in my hand...........

Took ages to find a new one, was afraid it'd quit.
But happy now, 20th nuke this month.

keltoms05 · 15-02-2010 10:39PM

Yeah, started happening to me about 10 minutes ago. Presumed it was just me because when I went on the internet on the laptop, it was fairly slow too. Internet seems fine now so going to try again in a few minutes

Paparazzo · 15-02-2010 11:29PM

The knives are the bit that annoy me. Part of the game and all that yeah, but I want a bit of realism. Unloading into an enemy doesn't kill him, but he can reach 10 foot to touch you with a knife to kill you! Come on!
Heartbeat sensors are also terrible, (I know, i do use ninja), the only thing worse than a camper is a heartbeat sensor camper

Dont mind knives as much but its the throwing knives that bug me a small bit, you can clearly see from your killcam that the knife missed but yet i got killed from it. Have been playing quite regularly again and i must say that the care package glitch doesnt seem to be happening at all hardly, hopefully it stays that way. LOve killing campers that are on a high killstreak

MW2 has turned into a joke...
