Ideas for improvements or new perks for Modern Warfare 2?

Getting rid of pre-teens.

That who be Awesome, a perk that finds Pre-teens and blows up their Console in a fiery explosion visible from space

What if a pre-teen starts to play on YOUR console?

Getting rid of pre-teens.

It's called "The PC Version"

It still has them, but nowhere nearly as bad.

Online communites for CoD4 suck really badly (OMG NOOB NOOB NOOBTUBE HAX0R!)

No Martyrdom, No Last Stand, No juggleballs.

 

[Simalacrum]

not simply getting rid of Matyrdom, but somehow making it so it involves skill... like, I dunno, a really short quicktime event or something to see if you can actually pull the pin before you die?

 

[Schneebly]

you know that spawn camping asshole in the tank in WaW?

that's me.

I dont care if they put vehicles in or not.

lol me too, it got to a point where it was so bad that i pretty much couldn't get a kill on foot but got a 20 kill streak everytime i got in a tank

Exactly the same for me, I was abysmal at shooting but had a positive KD purely from going around in a tank with ButterMan!!

Oh, and I think the in-game bonuses should be given to people who complete objectives in objective games, and be pick ups laying around in DM games. It's pretty ridiculous to me that a game would help the person on top stay there.

I thought of a perk called 'Infrared claymores', which have beams that can only be seen with night vision.

get rid of UAV's, airstrikes, and choppers. They ruin all fun and you get undeserving kills and deaths.
Also, no vehivles, no noob tubes, no rpg's, no rocketlaunchers, no juggernaut

Everyone spawns in areas unreachable by the other team to prevent spawn killing but you also can't camp there.

No late join

All challenges unlocked from the start.

only 55 levels, 10 prestiges

Allow more than one attachment on a gun but you must get headshots to earn them.

no hosts

*Claps for the Console Tard*
All of those are insanely dumb for the PC version, and I would imagine the console versions as well.

you would imagine right, the only thing that should change is perks to allow you to hold the grenade's handle (that makes it not cook.), multiple attachments that you have to unlock, martyrdom should blow up when you die and not a few seconds later and they should add more gun mods like better looking red dots and various ACOGs like the ones you see in COD4 singleplayer as well as extended clips, barrel extensions to improve accuracy, many muzzles, flashlights if there are darker levels and similar add-ons.

Win.
I loath having kids who, in reality, wouldn't try to start anything with me, but on Live, they think anything goes, and that they're cool for it.
Little cockfags.

How about a return of those tripbombs from James Bond: Nightfire?
I love those things...

 

[ThePocketWeasel]

I think no noob tubes for the first 5 seconds of the game would be good, because I hate it when you and half your team get taken out by one.

Either more prestiges or more than 55 levels per prestige. And I think you should get something worthwhile when you prestige so maybe a gun attachment or a weapon; but not an oober powerful gun or anything so you don't get people who get to the final prestige super fast owning everyone with their special weapons.

And try and give it local servers so you don't constantly end up on 2dot connections and you can't get decent gameplay.

 

[A random person]

Well, Live is notorious (Don't worry Fanboys, PSN has their fair share also) to having everyone screaming at you through mics. I don't play PC as much as I used to, but I vaguely remember people having an ounce of common sense.

Fixed.

 

[A random person]

Don't pit you and a cripple up against the Ukrainian army for 6 minutes.

XBL and PSN both have their fair share of immature retards being inconsiderate to their fellow gamers. This is not limited to pre-teens, Scottish or otherwise. On XBL this seems to manifest most prominently when the Americans hit the scene....but that isn't because Americans are more prone to immaturity in gaming, simply because there are more of them than us Brits on XBL.

I welcome any gamer looking to play for fun who is considerate to fellow gamers - whatever their nationality or age.

But back to the point of the thread, eh? Perks I'd like to see would include:
Effective camouflage for any class
Play dead
Defuse claymore
Comms intercept
Comms jamming

I'd encourage anyone with good ideas to head over to the IW boards and post there.

BTW - Fire selectors? Hell yeah, let's have that!

 

[tyPHoooooon]

read other posts just to see if this was mentioned and thankfully it was. Get rid of martyrdom ffs... wouldnt one have to be alive to pull the pin off of their grenade? A terrible TERRIBLE idea that only encouraged poor gameplay.

The juggernaut doesnt ever seem to be a problem for me... in my experiences people who use it are poor players and i can typically shoot through their extra health.

I feel juggernaut is good for bomb carriers and flag rushers but no one ever uses it for that. Bugs the hell out of me.

This, and for god's sake, change the ragdolls. I get blown up by a grenade and just fall to the floor. My mind tells me that wouldn't happen...

your mind would also tell you 5+8=fish, every action needs an exact opposite reaction, if a grenade blew you 20 ft. into the air, it would need to leave a huge crater also, besides, concussive blasts are not the killing factor in grenades, its the piercing shrapnel.

MW2 changes? obviously fire select for weapons, i like how the AK fired in the first one, but having single shot would of been nice, also the MP5 would of been my main choice if it had burst. but i would like more open levels, sure the clastrophobic levels were great, but i still long for a good sniper map, or even a map were vehicles would be useful [WaW being a great reference of how to do it wrong], also give players the ability to customize their characters, even go as far as to unlock more costumes with each prestige rank. but for all of us, i hope they fixed the spawn issues, respawning three times and getting shotgun'd does not equal a fun match.

The problem is in all the games I've played with a select fire menu, all it does is slow down the game. I like the system of "pull trigger/click once for single shot; hold down trigger/hold down mouse button for a bit for a burst; hold down longer for a clip-draining full-auto attack."

Sorry for offending the PC gaming master race. But I'm honestly tired of people getting kills they don't desereve. People frequently know where I am because the noobs on my team suck so much. On other occasions, I get tossed into games already in progress where the team I'm on is getting annhilated. Do really need juggernaut and one-hit kills to keep your pathetic ass alive? Do you actually beleive you earned a kill when you kill someone when they spawn before your eyes? You also seem like the type of person to have played 1v1 cage matches and demand that the other person die 10 times via headshot so you canpimp out you M16 with red tiger camo.I kno u could care less, but I actually happen to be very good at the CoD series so I've been puzzled as to why I think it's the worst FPS series ever concieved, even worse than halo. I just want to see balanced multiplayer in a game for once; unsymmetrical maps and overpowered weapons+perks contribute to CoD4 being overrated crap. The PC version is probably played vastly different because of the control interface. On the PS3 version, the best strategy is too grab a p90 and spray bullets everywhere until everyone on the other team falls to the ground and then bitches and whines in the lobby that i'm a noob when they sit in the back with an M16.

Yes, because god forbid anyone EVER kill you right? Hmmm Kill streaks are undeserved kills? You mean the ones where you have to kill 3 people, then 5, then 7 in one life? Yeah, they TOTALLY didn't deserve the four or so extra kills they get. Do not ***** about join games in progress already... that is what EVERY SINGLE PC GAMER DOES. There are servers that people join, and you know what? People don't ***** if their team loses! CoD is the type of multiplayer that rewards you for your own individual skill, and also a little bit of teamwork wouldn't kill you. I play on hardcore mode (Like practically every pc gamer), and even in stock, juggernaut does not give you so much health that you are god. Sure, it may take 5 more bullets, but if you have a fully automatice rifle, I would imagine that wouldn't matter now would it? FYI, no cage matches on PC so no I wouldn't. Also, I just got the Red Tiger for the R700, M4, G36c, and p90. Why? because I only played with those weapons! I am not some camo whore who concentrated on getting all gold, I just got them through playing the game. A truly good player at COD can work around even unbalanced weapons like the noob tube. Don't use excuses to try and make yourself look good. Let me make every map a fucking box for you then if you want symmetry! Long story short, you are why I play pc.

Yeah, I like the way it is now to be honest.

The changes I want would probably make it too much of a good game, and probably lose all the serious flaws that the CoD games already have. They'd have to work on everything:

Infinite respawns
Obvious scripting issues
Arcade-style shooting gallery
Auto-aim and grenade spamming enemies

Of course, this would make the CoD games more similar to good FPSs like Halo or Half Life, and I'm not sure IW is ready for such a drastic change. Who cares, every CoD 4 fan just wants more of the same, and more of the multiplayer, so yay for no changes in a not-so-great franchise!

I sincerely hope that in making such a comparison, you were being facetious. Half-Life and Halo are both in my top shooters list but Christ, to call CoD "arcade-style" as a negative thing and then to praise both Half-Life and Halo (both of which are very arcade run-n-gun, use heavy scripted events and some form of auto-aim)is just plain disregard to the facts!

Half Life and Halo games, to compare, give you more of a sandbox experience to the gunplay. In CoD, you only have your own weapons, and you don't get to experiment as much as previously mentioned games. There's only one single linear route through a level, one same setpiece. No enemy AI or at least anything where they're to the level of a Halo or a Half Life game, they just stick to cover and shoot. Also, you're meant to go to the next checkpoint to trigger battles, much like an arcade game, while in other FPSs, you can stay a while in the same place and never have to worry about infinite respawning enemies. HENCE the arcade comparisons for CoD, and not to the other games I mentioned.

Auto-aim isn't what I was talking about, I was talking about how CoD enemies have exact sniping aim on you, that's frustrating, while Halo and other FPSs have actual enemy AI, so it never feels like that.

 

[eviloppressor]

multiple attachments perk

no god-like M16

no juggeranut

MORE GUNS!!!!

maps with more detail, rather than an isolated area for you to walk around in
