Modern Warfare 2 Bitching Thread.

And really? no leaning? that's one of the most basic things you expect from a pc fps. Glad i'm not a massive pc player.

I'll concede that I'm probably making an issue out of something small. I just found leaning rather handy in the first Modern Warfare.

I'm on your side, I only played the pc version of cod4 at a lan gaming place near me. And leaning was very useful and it's a small thing but still the pc version shouldn't be basically a port of the console versions.

Use search.

"but I've searched!"

No you haven't. There's a billion MW2 threads around covering everything there is to cover. Use those.

As for MW2, the day I fork over 60 bucks for an half-baked mediocre cash in of half a game is the day I start burning 100 dollar bills for the sake of it because I'm just too damn rich to give a shit about wasting money.

I couldn't find anything specifically on the bad things about mw2, only a lot of articles and problem specific threads full of flames.

I'm also one of the 16.

Together, we'll take down Activision down a peg or two so they don't make even more arses of themselves and start charging subscription fees (ala MMO's) to play CoD online!

Okay I couldn't find anything that I really wanted using the search bar. And please dont flame for being another MW2 thread.

Okay so there are probably about 16 people in the world who dont have this game, now we've all heard the good, and the hype. Tell me about the bad, is the multiplayer balanced? Is the singleplayer ridiculous for some reason. what are the things that really tick people off. So i'm prepared when I finally get this game.

***** about this game as much as you like ^_^

Both multi and single player are great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spoiler

my only ***** is that they killed roach!

 

[saejox]

no lan. no servers. 4 hours single player. 60 bucks. Also, seems like Michael Bay directed this one EXPLOSIONS !!!

 

[Rafe]

Unlucky Bitchers (Bitchees?), Campaign is perfect, online is now perfectly balanced and the new spec-ops mode is a treat!

EDIT - Wait, wait, wait. The game doesn't really increase in difficulty (apart from that Favela mission) and there are separate servers for Europe and America.

I miss playing with Americans!!!

Sorry, I couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or not. In my defense it's hard to tell over the internet.

And yes, the PC version shouldn't just be a port. You have to do certain things for it to fit on the PC, like adjusting the controls and the multiplayer infrastructure.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

yeah sarcasms lost over the internet. But really each platform should have those little extra things that play to their strengths, and pc games should have dedicated servers and a few more movement options because of the keyboard.

Shameless hate thread

Now for the *****: the blood on your screen looks like Ribena.

This to the one millionth power. I'm not exactly ready to spend 60 dollars on a sequel to something that I didn't think really deserved my 50 dollars.

I hate you. I mean really, in the tiny space between the tiny spoiler alert and the spoiler do you really expect me to be able to stop scrolling down and look away. It's not a game I really play for the story but still.

The only problem is that it is TOO GOOD! How do you like 'dem apples?

LOL,Pretty much all i can say.
[sub]Anyway its awesome,Probably the best CoD In my opinion...and all who hate it must be converted ¬.¬ [/sub]

I think [/sarcasm] should suffice!

On topic:

Lag and the MP5 seems nerfed.

 

[GuerrillaClock]

the original Veteran was much more entertaining.

Are you joking? Ultranationalists with an infinite amount of grenades isn't entertaining, it's cheap. At least it's fairer now - when you die, it's usually your fault.

Anyway, I would like a ***** about the story. WHY DOES SO MUCH STUPID SHIT HAPPEN FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON? It's almost like a parody at times, and it's so overblown yet played so deathly straight it could easily be a comedy if it weren't for all the shocking imagery.

What, there are no cameras in the airports now? People can't see it's Makarov slaughtering civilians? And why doesn't the agent just shoot him in the back? He's had ample oppourtunity to do so, and it makes more sense than just following him around, integrating with his organisation and prolonging things, simultaneously making the whole plan more likely to fail.

Why does Price fire a nuke over Washington? I know it works out for him, but what made him decide that cutting all the power and blowing up a space station would help the Americans take back the city? It seems like a really odd conclusion to come to when you think of ways to help your allies.

Why the hell does Lance Henriksen shoot you in the chest and become the big bad for absolutely no reason!? These nonsensical "shock" betrayals irritate me to no end whenever they crop up. What does he gain by stealing the intel? He orchestrated the whole daring plan anyway, he would've been a hero!

And if he isn't the big bad in the sequel, who is revealed at the very end complete with an eye patch, I'll eat my hat.

Also, why was half the voice cast from Eastenders?

sniip

I had much more pride when I beat Modern Warfare 1 because of that reason.

 

[MysticnFm]

Snip

Yeah a bit of it didn't make sense.

Spoiler: This annoyed the hell out of me.

The whole shepard betraying you thing. He wanted to shape the outcome of the war so that he would be an international hero, but that would've happened anyways if he just let the Taskforce take down Makarov as they intended!

If anyone can explain this, please feel free to enlighten me.
