Pretty much /thread. And to OP, the term is not "most of the gaming community" I believe you were looking for the term sheeple, that's sheeple.Flying-Emu said:

All of the guns in the game are perfectly viable options. It is all based on personal preference. Just because one person can't use the F2000 or the FAL properly doesn't mean they are garbage. Some people can't make the M16 work well, but that doesn't mean that it is garbage. I spent my last prestige running all the weapons I avoided the first couple times. I had run the basics like the SCAR, M16, and the ACR, but I found weapons like the Vector, M4A1, FAL, Tar21, and F2000 to be some of my favorites now. Having multiple custom class slots makes these weapons viable. You pick the weapon that fits the map you are on as a counter to they other team. Are they running mostly snipers? Toss on that Vector with rapid fire, close the gap, and go to town.PDizzle418 said:
Bitching about a game is still bitching about a game, and it doesn't matter how much time is spent with it. This site has seen plenty of hate threads against MW2. Use the search bar, find one of those threads and put your post there. Welcome to the Escapist.Singletap said:
I know other people have wrote very similar posts as this one, this is just what was on my mind at the moment and it is almost impossible to be original now a days. I am going to make a dragon age article that I think will be original soon though.Warrior Irme said:
The thing with this is, we can't really do anything about it. If people want to use the cheapest tactics available as a substitute for genuine skill, then that's just too bad for us. Of course there are players who are genuinely skilled at the game, but skill or no skill, it's about winning. However you can.Singletap said:
I hear a lot of complaints about the CoD and MW community, but when I've played I've never encountered the infamous "10 year old screamers". Sure I've played with some real assholes, but the solution to that is round up some mates and play with people you know.Singletap said:
Other than that, good article, keep it up.
MW2 is a game that requires skill, but also luck. Skill to be able to track people down and kill them, strategicly placing equipment and ect, but also luck to find people off their guard, because unlike Halo, turning is slower and dieing is easier.
I stay away from normal Team Deathmatch or any of the average sized because I like finding lots of people to kill, so I play Groundwar for that. But the only other mode I like playing is Free-for-all, because I find it more testing to stand and win on your own, rather than having to rely on the fact that there aren't 2 people tag teaming and guarding a spot perfectly together . I've actually seen very few people exploiting glitches, so I've been lucky, but that's because I play the free-for-all and groundwar rather than team deathmatch because almost EVERYONE good plays that and it's unfun for me to play those bastards

As a long time PC gamer, I find matchmaking to be the best thing ever because it allows me to play the game the way it was meant to be played. No more having to stick to crazy server rules like "lolololololol no camping on mah server" or other form of restrictions that just hamper my enjoyment of the game or everyone's favorite 24/7 insert_crappy_map_name here.
Dedicated servers in MewTwo would have resulted in a massive amount of hardcore (because apparently playing hardcore mode means you are hardcore, lol) server when the game itself wasn't designed for that cheap-realism-cop-out mode.
Sure, I get annoyed by the (marathon/lightweight/commando pro or scavenger/thumper/m203) douches, but it beats having to deal with obnoxious admins and clanners.
I hate to say this, but I'm not impressed.
One of the important things you missed in your review is the fact that you hardly elaborated on anything. What makes the multiplayer so complex? Why is throwing grenades across a map, camping in corners, or using "cheap" weapons and loadouts a bad thing? What kind of glitches are there and how detrimental to the gameplay are they?
Your review also makes no mention of the single-player or Spec-Ops campaign missions which, in my opinion, are as much a vital part of the Modern Warfare 2 experience as the online multiplayer.
Another problem I've noticed with the review is that it is too subjective. Although most reviews are derived from gut feelings, a skilled reviewer will try to find a more objective standpoint or elaborate on their opinions and experiences so that other people might understand your feelings. Just because something makes you mad doesn't mean it will apply to everyone else.
Also, if you're going to recommend other games over the game you're reviewing, try recommending games of a similar genre or style because games like Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, and Modern Warfare 2 are judged by very different standards.
Do make sure to keep trying, though and I do like the picture of Schwarzenegger w/ the akimbo 1887's even though I absolutely hate that weapon.

As a brief overview of your opinion on the multiplayer, I would say it's relatively well written. But I agree with others here that you may need to go into more detail regarding some of your problems with the game.
Plus, why isn't this in the 'User Reviews' board?

I like dedicated servers because I can kick assholes out of my server rather than have to deal with them so that I can actually have an enjoyable gaming experience.cainx10a said:
It's a thread about why MW2 is a broken game (his words, not mine), and I expressed my own complaint.LordCuthberton said:
It is completely justified, so feel free to stop acting like you're somehow superior to me.
Coop, yes, campaign, no. Story still doesn't makes sense to me.Journeythroughhell said:
OT: Nice article, but shouldn't this go in the review section?
