Everyone can use all of those, sounds balanced to me.
Then you misunderstand the term 'balance'.

Balance in a game means that the weapons and perks balance each other out, not that there are certain more powerful ones that everyone can use.

Why bother with variety of weapons if everyone is going to use the same ones that are much better than the others?

I don't understand it tbh... I have never liked Cod, after trying to play 3 and 4 I just never felt like it was good enough to carry on playing after the story :S But In my opinion its just a first person shooter, like all the others. So I have no idea why its addictive, but I also have no idea on why if it frustrates you so much you can enjoy it??

Lets see, two of your points are that the game is good looking and "fluid", to which I see no difference in this game compared to similar ones like BFBC2.

The first point is 100%, completely and utterly opinionated. Whats good for you can be hell for me.

You get to unlock things as you progress? Nothing really new or special.

Private lobbies. So you can play with friends? Thats super, its a good thing that that idea hasn't been around for over 9 years.
Indeed, it is all just opinion. I'm trying to work out why people keep going back to the game.

Perhaps you can share a more factual reason?

Jesus Christ... The whole 60 FPS is bullshit, the human eye can't register more than 20-something frames per second, having 60 fps doesn't make the game smoother, it just makes it so that we won't notice if the framrate drops a bit. It DOES NOT INCREASE IMMERSION OR SMOOTHNESS, I've had games run at an average of 27 FPS and I haven't noticed shit, because the human eye can't register that much. Keep it at a steady 30 for a smooth experience, anything higher is a mere guarantee that you won't notice any drops in framerate. (I know this as a fact, I have studied media for three years)

Besides, immersion is a word that most people just throw around without knowing exactly what it means in the context of what they're talking about.

I completely agree with everything you said.

I fall back to MW2 when I'm bored or I haven't bothered to turn on my PC or just to have fun.
Just tell me that running around with a silenced Vector with Sleight of Hand, Stopping Power and Ninja Pro Throwing Knifing and shooting people on Favela isn't fun!
Seriously, if I get to play on Favela or Skidrow and maps like that, I'll rape face.
I'm the one that hates open and big scale fights and seek the thrill of running around guns blazing, shooting down every single enemy in my way with my insane Vector.

Why bother leveling up if you're going to unlock weapons that have the same stats as ones you already own?
Because when a game is properly balanced, there are small changes in each of the stats that balance eachother out, making each gun feel different to use, but each one is fair.

Let's use COD4 assault rifles as an example:

The M4 had little recoil, a high rate of fire but did low damage.

The AK 47 had a lot of recoil, slow rate of fire, was harder to use but did more damage per bullet, making it the AR of choice for many more skilled players.

The G-36C was the most accurate of the 3 fully autos, had no idle sway when crouched but again did low damage.

The G3 had perfect accuracy, killed in 2 shots but was semi-auto.

Of course, the M16 killed in one burst to the chest so some felt it was a teeny bit overpowered compared to the others.

Do you get what I'm saying?

Trying out the Vector is on my to-do list. Is it really as bad as people say it is??

maybe u should go back to geometry class and i didnt say u were a noob im calling the noobtubers, tac knifer, and the other mw2 losers noobs.cant u read? im the one that wants attention? your the guy that started a thread and announced to everbody here. y r u even defending mw2 if u say the community r flamers and complaining about the perks in the game and the lag and the host advantage. and no a banana is not spherical no matter what angle u look at it from a spherical means ball shaped and a banana is not ball shaped. thats just common sense!
Please stop blatantly trolling here. You keep it up, you're going to get banned. You've already broken several forum rules and insulted other members. So, if you actually want to stay on this website, I suggest not posting in this thread any more.

This forums has got rules and if you want to stay on these forums, I recommend that you read them.
If you obviously and blatantly troll like you do right now, you'll get banned.
If you attack other people, accusing them of things and always claiming you are right, you'll get banned.
If you use bad grammar excessively on purpose or do not at least try to fix your grammar, you'll probably get banned.
Understood? Good, now, if you want to stay on these forums, please follow the rules like everyone else.
Oh, and by the way, shut up.

I find it insanely good, it's got a fast fire rate and it is an SMG, I used Rapid Fire for teh lulz a while and it was INSANE! Then I got the Silencer and run around with that, just a couple of hours ago, I got 28-2 on Afghan, that says a little about the weapon.
I prefer it before the MP5K now, which was my old favourite because it's got better accuracy, a better ironsight and better fire rate. I highly recommend it, it's a fun gun. :)

.
The why does COD move more fluidly than Battlefield and Halo?

Why would they put it to 60 if we can't see it? It sure makes a difference to my eyes.

you just about covered every reason why I like it! oh, except for prestige. i'll be bold and honest....i've never prestieged before. doesn't it sound as bad as saying you're still a virgin? (it actually explains it) the feeling of prestieging is like exploding. you've worked, and worked, and worked, we're almost there, AAAAAAAAH, i prestieged.

Righto then, making a Vector class tonight! 28-2 on Afghan with an SMG is a great score.

Yes, I get what you're saying.
Just answer me this:
You mentioned above why CoD 4 was balanced, so why did infinity ward decide to make MW2 unbalanced?
That is the question we have all been asking since it came out!

There are a bunch of reasons, the main ones being:

1. They didn't do a beta or test it properly

2. It was rushed

3. The company has gone into meltdown and they dont care anymore

4. They haven't patched it because they're otherwise occupied rolling around in thier wads of cash

I played MW2 until Battlefield Bad Company 2 came out. And it was overall a better experience. Better controls, vehicles, and larger maps with destructible environments made it feel like an actual war and not a paintball match. Going back to it, the game's controls just feel worse, mostly the melee and crouch buttons.
