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.
What is it that's quite so bad about the nuke? People hardly ever get it, hell, I've only got 13, and it's quite fun to kill people on they're way to it.


Things that are horrible are Last Stand, the spawns, and Deathstreaks.

It's a strange world when people hate you for trying to encourage team work! At least in Left 4 Dead, if you take care of people you get added to a friends list. Awwww :)
In a strange twist i sometimes get added for playing well in MW2. figure that one out.

this is why i have switched back to mw1, the nicotine patch that slowly lets you back down into having a life

also, i got a sweet ass set of turtle beach headphones marked down to 65 american dollars at the store that works on everything i have, so i am very satisfied and immersed during anything =]
Yeah, they're an essential part of my gaming time now, dunno what I'd do without them. If you get a chance, play Dead Space with them... hell of an experience.

As for going back to COD4, I did that too. Despite the annoyances of frag spam and Martyrdom, it's definately the more fun game.

It doesn't look as pretty and colourful, it's a bit more rough around the edges but the pace of the game is faster and more fluid.

And every match doesn't turn into a U.S Air Show.



'Enemy Harriers incoming!'

'Fuck sake, not again...'
haha oh shit..i just got that game cheap, im a bit of a scaredy so we will see if i put those on while playing..

honestly the frag spam and martydom is no where near as annoying as the spamming in mw2(plus im a m21 quick scoper, i hardly am near the bodies i kill so i dont have to worry about it much) , so i happily deal with that, and yeah the game is much more fluid and the maps i love soooo much more, bog and vacant = my mapz 4 life

What's so bad about the Nuke is, as I said in the OP, that it encourages people to camp for kills on the objective based games, basically turning every game mode into Team Deathmatch.

And like you, I hate Last Stand with a passion. So... many... assists...

I can't understand how people quick scope... I've tried it and it just seems so hard.

Which is why I don't get people who ***** about it. Unlike most other things people do in MW2, quick scoping seems like it can only be done using skill.

Not a fan of Bog (unless I start on the North end) but yeah... love vacant!

I don't recognize myself in this. I get annoyed at times, but I never rage, because I figure that I'm not skilled enough to do better than I do. But the melee distance of commando is rather ridiculous. And akimbo rangers or 1887's are quite ridiculous as well. I saw a killcam of a guy killing another guy (winning kill) by firing his akimbo rangers 3 meters to the right of the target, at point blank range. Apparently the heat of the muzzle flash or something is lethal, because no shotgun with any barrel to speak of has such an insane spread.
Shotguns have a spread of around 1 inch per yard of linear travel, meaning that if he was aiming 9 feet to the right at pbr (<5 yds maybe?), he missed by 8 feet 7 inches.

Yeah, i think the muzzle blast did it...
I never understand how shotgun spread works.

I saw someone get shot Zombieland
Bill Murray
lately and had a hole blown through thier chest a couple of inches wide... surely a shotgun to the chest would pretty much blow half someone's body off?
Not necessarily, It depends on what the load is, and generally its pretty hard to blow someone in half. The only gun I've heard of doing it is a .50, and that was just because of the really long range and the trajectory of the bullet, the round ended up basically coming straight down on the guys head.

The 1st post had me in stitches for quite some time. So true, I've never smashed a controller over it but came pretty close. This is why I've gone back to playing mostly single player games. xD

To be fair though, if you have a cold blooded stinger missile class, or more than one of you on your team does, anyone on the other team getting a nuke is nigh on impossible.

Besides, not as many people as you say go for a nuke, over my whole time playing I've been nuked maybe three times?

sorry misworded, i dont actually quick scope per say, but i am really quick with scoping with the m21 on that game, thats why i used the term but it was out of place obviously, quickscoping is something entirely different, which while it does take some skill yes, it is kinda cheap and takes away from the true pride of getting that kill with the sniper

hah yeah alot of people dont like it, i like it since im a sniper and i tend to pick the spots where most people dont go so they have a hardass time finding me when im doing my scope tricks =]

Well either you've been getting lucky, or I've been getting unlucky because in the last week alone I've seen about 10 nukes, averaging one per hour.

I do play Ground War though, which is a good mode for nuke campers to rack up kills super fast. I like it because it's the only mode that lets me rush effectively (I love rushing, far too impatient to camp)

How can you rush effectively and get nuked?

Ground War is retardly busy, I play Domination and Free For All mainly and you barely see any nukes at all.

... Wow... I played the game for 2-3 weeks and I never got a nuke. An EMP once, but never a nuke.

That's... scary. Either for you or for me.

And damn it, all this talk about Modern Warfare 2 makes me miss the game. I might even consider buying it again!

STOP IT ALL!
