Modern Warfare 2 on XBL is starting to suck

[AnAngryMoose]

I only play online when I have absolutely nothing else to do. Personally, I prefer 'kicking it old school' with a couple friends and no internet connection.

But, MW2 isn't the worst multiplayer game around. Look at Red Faction: Guerrilla or the new AvP game.

Red Faction: Guerrilla has a gun that shoots through walls. I'd take fighting a guy with akimbo Model 1887s over that.

AvP well... The multiplayer for that was b0rked since they thought it would be a good idea to add it to the game.

Look, the glitches have been fixed and there is a reason that they included the mute feature. Just mute the annoying kids. Lately I have come across alot more mature people who will actually say "good game" after a match whether they win or lose. Its pretty rare but most of the annoying toolbags have tired of the game and moved on, thank god for that.

PS...if u dont like the game go play Halo, I hear it's the best new game around

... indeed. I'm quite a high rank in halo but I rarly come across singing 10 year olds or chavs. I dont have cod6 but It's all the chavs talk about at school. I'm going to get it but after reading this i'm going to have to mute alot of people.

why won'tgod kill chavs

I sold it months ago, so I wouldn't know.

But I agree with you.

 

[ConfusedCrib]

I think it's the "Halo effect" good game gets ruined by "hardcore" 12 year olds who camp or run around with a shotgun

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Go back to single player games for a while, multiplayer gaming is the most pointless, false sense of accomplishment out there.

It's evil and it tricks us into thinking it matters when it really doesn't.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

This is a very interesting semi-literate rage, but for your benifit:
There is a mute button.
Otherwise, perfectly legit.

Starting to suck?
[sub] No! Bad thoughts!. No trolling untill I get morpheus... [/sub]

I like SOCOM:Confrontation and other games where you can hear the other team because the singers/music players are always first to die... ...usually on the recieving end of my knife.

You mean neo?

And yeah, me too. I always set out to kill the mic spammers so that I don't have to hear them for a short while. Or I just mute them.

But yeah, I regret getting worked up about this game. It really let me down.

I watched your MW2 game there was actually nothing wrong with it other than host migration at the beggining and loss of connection at the end. Everything was pretty much OK in between. Javelins miss. It happens. They have been programmed to. though at one point a person was shooting you while they were facing another direction. Minor lag, nothing serious, it costed you one death. You were running around alot and not checking for enemies while doing so. That results in more deaths and increased frustration. Again, no real problem.

Now I do have a question for you about your Wii videos. How did you get your Brawl games working so well? I have literally been turned off of online Wii playing because of super slow framerates I had to deal with in my first online Brwal match. Did you do anything specific for your Wii? Do you have an N router? I would like to know as I have kind of an addiction with brawl and noone good to play against.

OT: I hate most online communications with people on Xbox. Its ok when I know people, but I mute everyone else. Games host migrate, but there thats the developers problem, we have to deal with it. I of course get lag in my own games, but after you get a good host, you're set for a few hours usually. You hate talking to 9 year olds on Xbox? mute them. They don't have anything worth listening to anyway, what are you seriously going to miss?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I don't care. I just keep playing.

Winning doesn't matter.

 

[LWS666]

i rarely find anyone using a mic, but i don't play it because of the un-balanced-ness, akimbo, care package glitch, lag etc...

i only play on live with friends, usually in co-op.

i think it's good that they include mics, as this way it's easier to comunicate in co-op/games where a good team is usefull, like L4D(2).

 

[rastlin1985]

is nobody aware, there's an option that auto-mutes anyone not on your friends list...? i enabled it ages ago, makes any online play much more enjoyable.

as for MF2, i played it a bit on release, got bored, but started playing again recentley, and i'm finding it a lot of fun. i honestly dont see why people hate akimbo stuff, certainly akimbo SMGs are a recoil/miss fest, and as for shotguns, better akimbo stuff than the friggin spas12 killing me from half the map away (well not quite, but still....!)

 

[Frequen-Z]

i hate the xbl community, if you can call it that, but i almost never see anyone glitching.

its actually pretty funny when some moron is running around with model 1887 bling, when it was patched about a month ago.

i actually think the most annoying thing in mw2, is either the lag (host migration does NOT work) or the fact that everyone seems the think that they're an ub3r 1337 pr0.

edit: just remembered my list of crappy things on mw2...

What dont i like?
well....
unbalanced weapons, killstreaks, luck based gameplay, virtually zero recoil, connection advantage, shitty host migration, infinity ward not bothering to patch a glitch for weeks, quickscoping, noscoping, hitmarkers with sniper rifles, lmgs, super long range assault rifles, boosters, unfair level 10 prestige boosting, nukes, camping, gametypes that promote camping, hardcore mode, 10 yr olds playing it, obnoxious assholes talking, whiny kids singing / screaming into microphones, killcams, claymores, grande/semtex spamming, commando, tactical knife, one man army, noobtubes, choke points, launchers, thermal, heartbeat sensors, scar-h, m21, wa2000, rapid firing semi-auto guns, cocky dickholes using pistols / knives/ doing 360s to show off, the blood effect, flashbang grenades, "pros", shotguns, clans, lag, the heavy emphasis on k/d regardless of gametype, 3rd person mode, akimbo, danger close, tactical insertions, all burst fire guns, camping spots on highrise, the javelin, and the fact that people still think that it is the best shooter game ever, and compare every other game to it.

Wow. You know you don't actually have to play it, right? Like, there is no external force making you play this game. Don't get me wrong, sometimes MW2 can just feel like hell to play, it almost always does when you're not playing with friends, but shit man. If you hate it that much, just stop playing it.

A lot of peeves on that last are easily avoidable, too. 3rd Person Mode? Don't play it. People yapping? Mute them. Clans? Play Mercenary Team Deathmatch. The blood effect? Seriously man, just play a different game.

when was it good?

i also do not like the other users on xbox live. for every good gaming partner i find, there are at least twenty squeaky voiced chattering infants who treat the game lobby as their own private masturbation session. i can live with the other stuff, because that is fixable by the developer, but i wish that xbox live users would grow up. i want to play some modern warfare and i dont want somebody singing in my ear.

edit: i think that they should not include a mike with every xbox 360

You sound like you're new to the whole XBox Live thing. This has been the case ever since Halo set the precedent for all other shooters to follow. And you're absolutely right, mics should only be available for paying adults - or children whose voices are tolerable for their parents to agree to unleash them upon the world.

 

[Poomanchu745]

Well I bought a Xbox 360 a few years back because the PS3 was still like 500 or so. I have really never used live as I don't really want to deal with all the douche bags and kids yelling at each other. I think this along with how the PS3 games have been picking up steam I'll probably go ahead and pick up the playstation version of the next gen. It seems that paying more to not deal with all the little kids and pricks on xbox is the way to go. Plus Gran Turismo > Forza.

 

[Bat Vader]

I usually just mute players right when we start a game so that none of them annoy me. People who use the glitches usually means they can't win a game fairly.
