What's that, the honeymoon's over already? That didn't take long... I wonder how long it will be before more people are playing MW1 then MW2...Knighty-boy said:

Well you, to me it loses a lot of charm due to the lag, but aside of that, I still enjoy the occasional match. Not as much as I enjoy TF2, specially that game the other day were I managed to single handedly (since my team was doing fuck all and losing stupidly before I joined) take on the enemy team several times until I managed to revert the score from 2-0 to 3-2 in our favour, scoring over 250 points and kicking so much ass my ass eventually got kicked...
God, people just take unkindly to losing.

possibly tied to the increasing presence of obvious aimbots over the last two-ish weeks?
that's been the case for PC

I find that its the little things that can make you lose interest in a game. In MW2 multiplayer it has all the annoyances of COD4 multiplayer (which aren't a big deal, its mostly noobtubes and choppers) and more, like all the auto-aiming bots in the sky, all the hackers and the unregulated nature of MW2 online.DirtyCommie said:
Honestly its not fanboys ruining the game, its really is the game itself. I mean even if I wasnt a butthurt PC gamer, I'd still have issues with the multiplayer.
I've been playing Counterstrike for literally years. Even back when it was 1.3. Of course I leave it at times, but I always find I can go back and enjoy myself in that game. The same just isn't true of some of the other greats like Quake 3, Unreal, Tribes II and the CoD games.
There's something to be said for losing interest.
The most important point of MW2/Cod4 is that it holds your interest not by its gameplay, but by the level system.
They added a bit too much crap to the game that wasn't balanced. AC-130 gunships and helicopter gunners are not balanced. The original modern warfare at least had the potential for balance, but the new one just adds too many variables with the array of weapons and crap you can throw around.
I've certainly grown tired of it. Single player is a joke, I can only play SpecOps with my friends over Steam (all of whom got MW2 for Xbox), and multiplayer isn't fun at all what with every single lobby I'm dumped into guarenteed to have at least 2 of each catagory: aimbotters, 8-year-olds, and racists, and the larger, more complicated maps only underline it's sheer emptyness because of the IWNet 9v9 player restriction as opposed to CoD4's massive 64-player TDM balls-to-the-wall brawlfests.
It's just...boring.

Can people please do me a favour. I could have bought this game (or rather the first one) for only £2 at a Granger Games sale in my town for my computer but i wasn't sure if anyone liked it or thought it was good enough and especially not for computer. I did post a thread but got no response and I gave up. Now the game has been sold... Please can we do these posts (yes you wabbit included though u have a valid excuse) when i actually need help picking games! Then maybe i can join in these threads to see if it was boring or not. Now im wondering if i have missed out on a game i might have loved.almightywabbit said:
If your wondering how i come to the conclusion that i would have liked it when everone is basically saying its crap, I usually like games that everyone else hates or are tired of. Thats the way its always been. Take for example Delta Force 1 and 2. Bet not that many if any at all now-a-days, play these games but i still love them and still enjoy playing on them. This then makes me think that CoD series would be more challenging for me and more enjoyable.
Its burnout, its happening to me too. Its a great game, but it has its flaws, like all other games.
