Modern Warfare 2 - why it makes people angry. Read if you've ever played the game.

the knife/runner thing is really fucked... and OP akimbo.... and noob tube/thumber... and campers... and nukes... and that the whole of US Airforce seems to join in.. but if you can get passed this it's one of the most awesome fps (if you can then please do share good sir)

Yeah I checked, it was a guy from greece.
Basically stumble upon is a thing you can add to your browser that takes you to a random website based on your preferences. Someone obviously liked your post a whole lot because they added it to the pool of websites.

Huh... that's... cool I guess!

Nice that people found something to relate to in it. It was meant to be funny poke at MW2 but a lot of people seem to be confusing it with an angry rant!

Speaking of the whole of the US airforce... joined a few games tonight and after 30 minutes I took the game out and played Mass Effect instead.

Every single game I joined was just full of harriers, chopper gunners, AC130s, Pave Lows... it was like being at a fucking air show.

This is absolutely true, and I'm glad someone's able to put their finger on the definite issues and point them out.

My problem? 90% of my friends will play nothing but. And I suck at it. And I prefer Battlefield 2.

 

[Discrodia]

Honestly, this is why I bought Bad Company 2. No killstreaks, perks aren't overpowered, camping is next to impossible, ect ect ect.

My only regret is that I didn't manage to trade in my copy of MW 2 when I got it.

Same here. I suck at it most of the time but every now and again will have a great game where I dominate everyone... and dammit that one game will make me keep playing for the rest of the night in the hope of repeating it.

Problem is, even the best players get fucked over in MW2. Watch any of the commentary vids on youtube and you'll see amazing players get bullshitted time and time again.

I stopped playing for two reasons:

1. It's the only shooter anyone ever fucking talks about. "Dude how many nukes did you get this weekend?" "I'm already 6th prestige!" "Isn't the Intervention awesome?" "Dude, I got like 30 kills in this one game!". It never fucking ends!!!!!

2. It got boring. It was all of the same thing. People screwing with the system or using the cheap tactics. Thermal scopes, noobtubes, 1887s, Thumpers... Just constant use of the most annoying items. God don't get me started on the DC/OMA/Noobtube combo.

That's exactly what i'm talking about. I don't want to waste my second on a crappy launcher

I've just been playing thanks to Steam's weekend, and all that happens is I move 2 feet after being respawned and then I'm blown up by some fucking plane.

Respawn, shot by a helicopter.

Respawn, game ends because of a fucking nuke.

It makes sniping a *****, and if I do manage to snipe then half the time the bullets seem to pass through people. Then I get killed by some guy wielding DUAL-SHOTGUNS. I mean, what the fuck is up with those?

 

[Glamorgan]

I completely agree with this. Modern Warfare 2 is fun, but incredibly unbalanced. I don't consider myself 1337 by any means, but I am so sick of noobs constantly ruining the game. I also hate the disadvantages that us Australian's are constantly having. Sometimes I will shoot an enemy facing away from me with my rangers from a few meters away, and the enemy will run away from me without noticing me, and then die after getting a few meters away. This game has been the source of many a rage quit.

I never really shared the hate for the MW2 multiplayer.

I hated the single player for being confusing and stupid, but I did enjoy the multiplayer. Sure, I got frustrated tons of times, but I sort of blamed myself rather than the game.

I tried sniping once or twice and I was terrible at it. The only map it worked on for me was Wasteland, and there were much better snipers on that map.

Speaking of Wasteland... it by far the worst offended for air support rapage.

I could rack up a good number of XP on that map by just sitting in a corner with Cold Blooded and shooting down the never ending air support.

I did quite well on the "Derail" map (in the snow) but that's about the only one I can snipe on. And I think that was one game where air support was "only" called like 5 times.

Ugh.... can't stand Derail myself... it always degenerates into a snipe off from the windows of the big building, spawn trapping a team at A.

I can see how snipe happy players would dig it though!

And wow, serious typos in my previous post...

Excactly why I don't bother with this big-selling lump of crap.

*high five*

That's why I upgraded to Bad Company 2. Local filter FTW.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I do get incredibly angry at MW2. Not angry at players' strategies, just rage in general. How anybody can get any killstreaks on it is beyond me. Everytime I spawn, I die. I have my moments where I dominate a match, my best being thirty-five kills without dying. Other than those special times, I spend my moments bumbling around being used as target practice. Somehow, unless I'm using a Barrett .50 without any scope modifications, I won't get any kills. It sucks.

Camping seems to be the only way I've found.

Last night I played a match where I was a little douchebag and hid in buildings shooting people out windows with a silencer and Ninja.

Got a 5 kills, then got a Pred, a Harrier strike and Pavelow in 30 seconds.

Went 22-1 and came first in the game, and not due to any skill on my part. It was because I played like a little ***** and had Chuck Norris piloting my Pave Low.

Needless to say the win brought no satisfaction and I soon went back to running around like a headless chicken.

We get this kind of BS in Ireland too, especially in lobbies with American or Aussie hosts.

Had some fun today with lag switchers and the like too.

The fun never ends!

YES STORY TIME

So I was playing a friendly game of Sabotage on Afghan (on the 360). I had died, because I was not used to the gun I was using (I just started using the Intervention to quickscope), thus bringing my score to 1-4. I spawned in the bunker, and WHAM I died, bringing my score to 1-5. Less than a quarter of a second to live, I couldn't even move an inch. No, millimeter. How? Somebody down in the plane had fired a FAMAS with a grenade launcher, and two seconds later, I spawned in its path. The worst part? The grenade hit me in the head, and he got a headshot. Needless to say, epic rage ensued.

I told the friend I was playing with to quit immediately, but he said he had to get a couple more kills. So I stayed, and went into some sort of anger-induced trance. I destroyed. I spawnkilled two people, watching them appear from thin air, stunning them, and then quickscoping them with frightening efficiency. Payback is a *****. I then defended the bomb until it exploded in their face.

My end score was 17-5. In conclusion, rage is an awesome power, but the spawns in this game SUCK.


But yeah, that's my only complaint. It's fun and all (and it isn't that hard to snipe) but the spawns are just rubbish. Also, I never camp, or get mad. So... if you're angry, it wasn't me.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I don't understand all the rage and hate for the multiplayer, I mean there's never technically been a real "balanced" multiplayer game in the history of mankind, so why start bitching now?

)

MW2 is a hell of a lot more unbalanced than most other multiplayer games.

IN COD4 you had the M16, Noob Tube and Martyrdom.

In MW2 you have all of the above, along with the insane killstreak rewards, Akimbo Shotguns, Commando and the worst addition to any game ever: The Nuke.
