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

This can be me on some occasions. Sometimes it's just so frusturating "Hey look a...There's a knife in my face..." and half the scopes you have in that game. A thermal scope? really? Give the camping a-holes something else to make them cream themselves. When you shoot 5,000 bullets into a guys chest, and he just smiles and pops you once, there's something wrong.

Also, this game has worse lag then Halo: CE on the PC.

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.

Ca you please explain to me how you do that? Because when I rage I play terribly!

Goddamn it I hate those thermal scopes. People go 'oh but you can counter every perk and weapon' - no you can't. You don't have enough perk slots to counter everything in the game, and having to counter things is a bloody nuisance anyway when you just want to play fair.

It's just so fat and bloated, it needs serious trimming down in MW3 or I won't even bother with it.

Yes, this game make me rage. But when you do well, I feel so good. I compare the raging to Counter Strike. Especially when I use the AWP. People said "Stop using the AWP n00b"

I don't even feel good when I do well in it... it's wierd. It's more like a nervous, anxious adrenaline rush.

Not sure if that's a good thing.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

SO damn true and nicely written. I've seen on reply way too many times bullets not registering. Total BS.

Thanks dude. Is that Arnie?

 

[loooooowwww]

the only time ive ever completely lost it was when playing cod4, i was playing hardcore headquarters and after the team was done holding a HQ i had a 21 killstreak going and a teammate shot me in the back after all the enemies were dead and i was leaving the area... needless to say i went fucking ballistic at the sonofabitch down the mic.

 

[loooooowwww]

this game makes me remember the awp as a fair and well rounded sniper lolololol

 

[VanityGirl]

The conclusion was so brutally well-executed. One that hits me, as well as many others, so close to home that it's uncomfortable.

Indeed. I feel uncomfortable.

I get unusually angry when I play MW2. I'm actually getting sick of it. I like enjoying my games, so I'm slowly giving up MW2.

 

[Solytus]

meh, shit happens.

but seriously, lag and camping is new to "Pro-5nipez665"? that doesn't make any sense, unless he is absolutely new to all multiplayers in existence.

Believe it or note, both Lag and Camping are largely inapplicable to BC2. I don't mean to shamelessly plug the game, but I'm just saying, camping in a corner becomes far more difficult when you can simply remove the corner.

Granted, you may come across it once or twice, but it's a surprisingly rare occurrence.

OT: You really hit the nail on the head OP, excellent job. I can't agree more with your point on lag. Thank's to IW's refusal to include dedicated servers, I had perpetual lag that only served to enrage me further.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the game's framerate actually starts dropping in 4-player splitscreen? Very annoying for hanging out with buddies.

Note: Fantastic prose by the way.

 

[CowboyfromHell666]

Definitely hate the AC-130 and its devastating splash damage, which begs the question: why does MW2 spawn me miles away from my team and in enemy territory when there is no AC-130 or Attack Helicopter, but when someone calls one of them in I spawn right in a cluster of allies with a round already on its way every single time?

EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME

I'm not joking right now. Someone on the enemy team got a Harrier, the actual air strike killed me, and I kept spawning IN THE SAME SPOT WHERE THE HARRIER COULD KILL ME
It was such bullshit. I swear the respawn system thingy in that game likes to fuck with people.

 

[KittywifaMohawk]

Wow.
That's exactly correct. I have to agree with this 100%.
Nicely put and we all know it's true.
It happens to all of us.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I agree. This is why I quit the game.

I'm not really sure. I usually don't rage play (cause I don't get angry much), but I'd suggest trying to feel badass. When I played that game, I had just gotten Blue Tiger for the Intervention, and it looked so AWESOME. This caused an unhealthy amount of CN-cells (chuck norris cells) to circulate into my bloodstream, allowing me to decimate when I got angry.

So, if you feel angry and play, you'll suck. But if you feel angry AND badass, you'll wreck.


Wreck your CAR, that is! Oh ho ho ho, I've been reading way to many Dinosaur Comics.

 

[Silent Eagle]

Well that pretty much sums it up. I like CoD 4 alot better,anyone with me?

 

[RickyLill]
