How would you make Modern Warfare 2 better?

[Whistler777]

Removing Matyr from the perk list. If they haven't already removed it.

It might make MP a BIT more about skill rather than how many times you get kills with grenades from Matyr.

Aww, did someone forget to move after shooting?

I'm the guy that rush with shotgun/MP44/Machine gun. The people with Matyr perk just stops my fun because when I shoot them a bit far away and then keep pushing I see the grenade icon pop up. Seeing it's an instant death being pretty much anywhere near it you'll end up dead.

You are never able to turn back and run away before it blows up.

You're almost always able to avoid a Martyrdom grenade. Shipment is the exception to this.

If, as you described, you shoot them from medium-long range and then rush forward, you'd be able to hear the sound of the 'nade dropping. Play with headphones (good quality ones, not your Ipod earbuds) and you'll see what I mean.

I doubt you have a 90% dodge ratio on Matyr. Seeing that other people could have killed the guy around a corner which have happened a lot to me.


I got good headphones but I already hear if grenades drop even with the normal speakers, thing is when I kill them are often so far away that the sound is just to low. So when I get to them I have about 1-2 seconds to get away after trying to run past the corpse.

But with all the shooting and air strikes going on pretty much every map it's rather hard to locate that grenade sound of dropping on distance. I still hear good thou, in Counter Strike Source I can hear those footsteps pretty clear because shooting isn't going on 24/7. It does in COD4.

The range I shoot them on could be classed as medium to short.

Matyr is just the noobiest perk in the game and I have no problem with any other. The reason this perk is noobish is because you don't need to do ANYTHING to get a kill with it.

I never said W@W outsold MW, I merely stated it hasn't done poorly, at all. I don't much care for the preferences of others. Afterall, it's my entertainment, I'm referring to. Not yours. And by the way, by your logic, World of Warcraft stomps the dogmeat out of both of them.

I'm simply trying to fathom how turning MW2 into yet another WW2 shooter is possibly a better idea than trying something new, you seemed to disagree with my suggestion that people in general, i.e.: the majority of people who play Call of Duty and Call of Duty type games prefer Modern Warfare as opposed to WW2 v96.

And by my logic, World of Warcraft stomps the hell out of every other MMORPG on the market, which it probably does.
My logic doesn't pit two completely different games from different genres against each other, because I like to think that, except under extreme circumstances, my IQ is superior to that of the chair I'm sitting in.

Gaz was still alive. =[

I miss that cheeky bastard...he would bring a shotgun along...cuz he felt like it...

FIX THE FUCKIN' BULLET LAG!!!!

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

The special edition would come with a M4A1, not with some lame, plastic googles.

 

[Xaositect]

Remove that gay-Chekov voiced villain and put someone in with a normal voice. Jesus, Zakhaev was bad enough, but this new guy? I cant fuckin stand it, even in a trailer.

 

[Crowser]

Take the heartbeat censor out of multiplayer.

Way to steal that from Game Informer.

Modern Warfare 2 looks perfect the way it is. I would get rid of the Semtex, Juggernaut, and Martyrdom.

 

[zebrin]

Make sure that there is no such thing as martyrdom. Ever. Oh gods the amount of knife kill runs that stupid thing has ruined.

-Reduce price of PC version to $50
-Reduce price of console versions to $55

May I ask why most PC versions of games are cheaper? I've always wondered about that.

I'll take a stab at it: with consoles, developers have to pay a fee for the company to allow the game on their system. They also have to comply with other demands of the console owning company. It isn't absurd to think the company would want to improve profits by upping prices. With the PC, you don't have a company that owns the platform to go through. That's my guess, anyway.

That, and it's easier to develop for the PC. The 360 is supposedly developer friendly because it's PC-like.

But on topic, have a feature that gives Activision's CEO an electric shock. Also more seriously, make it longer, get rid of the respawning enemies from the first one, maybe make more mission types, and don't make absurdly hard levels in open spaces like the ferris wheel thing.

I read that Infinity Ward was getting rid of the infinitely spawning enemies, so you have that at least.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

They have, MW2 has no respawning enemies. I read it in an interview with one of the head devs.

...Really?

Wow.

I may very well like this game!

I don't read Game Informer and I definitely didn't steal it.

 

[jaeman]

I got an idea! How bout not buy it!? I am really getting sick of MW2 and all the hype surrounding it. Magazines are promoting it to hell because they know it will sell loads of copies. at least a dozen other big games have been delayed from this holiday in fear of the competition, including one of Activision's own titles. And here are a bunch of people raving on about it perfection before release. Give it a rest.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

How could I make it better? By making it come out NOW.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

A gun that shoots shurikens and lightening.

And hadoukens. Hadouken!
*EDIT* Make it cheaper! And have the minigame "Ninjas vs pirates."

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

If it is indeed like CoD4 in this respect, I'd like them to stop it with the respawning enemies.

SNIP

If they could fix this, I'd genuinely love this game. This one aspect is what made me dislike CoD4.

Why are people asking for Nazi Zombies? Nazi terrorists might be more relevant.

Am I the only person who hated Nazi Zombies by the way? I find it.. just... boring.

It's boring single player, but with 2 or more players it's really fun.
