The major thing I don;t like about MW2 is it's community. But maybe I've just been unlucky in my experience of it.

I didn't realise people would be so sensitive...wow. I own an Xbox 360 and a PC, just a bit of satire is all. My major gripe is to do with the actual game feeling half baked on PC.

As this is really rattling cages I gave my mother a call to, she will be handing out free hugs followed by a pat on the head and a "there there everything will be ok, my son is a bastard anyway."

Now if you excuse me I am going to take my shirt off and rub my nipples while looking into a mirror.

your thinking of the wrong game. you want skill in aiming you play counterstrike. you want a pretty game for ADD console kiddies you play mw2.

know your stuff

What are you talking about?! You need to have some real skills to get the auto-aim bot in the sky in MW2... comon...

I find that ironic. Pretty much EVERY console shooter I've played had some type of auto aim, aim assist, or freakishly large hit boxes.

Come to think of it, this game reminds me of another game that everyone said was the best thing ever, Halo. Not comparing game play or anything, just the fact that a done of people said it was the greatest thing ever, but nobody ever said why. When someone finally did say everything that Halo did that was "so great", everything they said reminded me of another game, Quake. But yeah, I haven't heard any reason for why MW2 is actually the greatest thing ever.

The auto aim on console games is to make up for it being a bit harder to aim than with a mouse. I don't think it's enough to be an annoyance, except it is a little strong in the MW2 singleplayer mode.

Christ, people, lighten up at the flow chart. It's obviously a joke. I love PS3 too, but yet I can still chuckle and move on with my day, and not get worked up about it.

Plus, the guy's got a point. I like my multiplayer games with the playing field leveled except for natural player skill. Not saying I don't enjoy Call of Duty multiplayer, but he has a point.

Above this?

In what manner? It's a forum, and the current forum population generally seems to acts in this manner - it just makes it even more pathetic when people claim this forum is "the bestist on teh interwebz!" or you see moronic posts like "only itellgant peeps post on the escapist".

Honestly, the pathetic amount off elitism on this thread, coupled with the obvious trolling (no doubt the OP will try to claim "it was just a joke"), displays yet another example off the failing forum community. At least people seem to have gotten out of that embarrassing habit off greeting recently joined posters with the line "it's safe here".

True, if it were Gamefaqs/Gamespot there might be some intelligent non-article inspired gaming discussion...(Of course only in certain section off that forum, such is the case in various RPG game specific forums).

People really need to learn to spot trolls...

What's getting to me is how so many people are being allowed to post 'cool story bro' without being punished for such a lame contribution.

Memes suck, people.

Your chart is laughably ironic. If you liked video games, particularly PC games, as they are at all, you wouldn't have given Activision your money. Congratulations for advancing all that is wrong with PC gaming today.

Go crawl back under your bridge; you're making the rest of us PC gamers look like tools.

I would have a pc if I could afford it:/
As an F-Y-I unrelated to the OP, I'm currently waiting for parts on my next build.

It's made of a fricken quad-core processor (most current games can't take advantage of that) 4 GB of DDR3 memory(More than any current game out there requires), 1 TB (=1024 GB) Hard drive and a Radeon HD 4770 graphics card, enough to play Crysis on high details with over 40 FPS.

Total cost for the system with peripherals and legal OS, 600?. I could have cut it down to 500? if I wanted to. And I expect the build to last 8 years for gaming purposes, with 150? worth of upgrades to memory and graphics card in the intervening time. Had I bought a build with similar capabilities as a pre-build model retailers advertise, I've have paid over 1k euros for it. The lesson if this: If you build your own PC, you can save around 500? in the total price. Sure, you might screw things up building it if you are not careful, but that is rare if you take precautions and read even some of the multitude of online manuals about PC-building.

As an example, the PS3 costs around 300?, but does not include things like the television, sound system or exotic game controls like Guitar Hero requires. Believe me, with 300?, assuming you have a display ready and get a free OS, you can build your own gaming PC that lasts for years. Just don't expect the level of graphics that makes your eyes pop out in ecstasy.

The myth that the PC is expensive for gaming purposes is based on people buying the idiotic pre-made builds the common retailers sell. There is so much air and plain idiotic decision in them. By study and choosing the parts for yourself, you can get the most out of lesser parts and know (and can) direct your money to the components that matter the most. And even the learning phase isn't hard, One month ago I knew almost nothing about building my own PC, now I've succesfully done two functional builds for my brothers and am waiting for parts to arrive for my own. The 'net is filled with guides, learning is easy with them.

Yeah. I think my favorite auto aim was on Goldeneye when your guns would move for you. It even worked when they were on the other side of a hall.

So anyway MW2 yeah, you know that one, new age shooter with all the fancy bollocks and bells attatched, the greatest game in the universe in some peoples opinions and also apparently a hot topic amongst "gamers" Ok so yah anyways, I am a PC gamer and I got this game and expected a mediocre shooter with nothing special, but you know what? I was right HAH!

Wait a minute this is soo good look at "TEH REVIEWS" But as a PC gamer I feel a little trodden on, a little hard done by. I explained this to a friend who plays it on console and he assured me of the games greatness, to which I referred him to this flow chart:



Now that you see my stance on this issue we can move on, so why is MW2 so wank? Well for a start I play it for online, let's face it if you buy MW2 for it's singeplayer shit fest then that's just false economy. For a start the guns which are available are merely modern skins and names attatched to a series of random stats. Huh? you ask. Well for example I have the choice of selecting the ridiculous 50.cal Ronnie Barrett, which takes 2 chest shots to kill my opponent, yes a gun used for taking out vehicles. Or theres the AA-12 auto shotty...theres no need to continue, they had no clue or they wanted balance, who cares? Not them.

Next...I have been killed by missiles, helicopters, fucking jets...bullshit cheap kills, what's the point in this? Some dude had his jet pointing, POINTING at spawn while he blasted the enemy team, I was sitting there watching it like a donkey sex show, amazed and disgusted. I thought I was playing an FPS.

Now wait maniac, vehicles like totally make FPS better and stuff. Good point...they do make the game more interesting...when the maps your fucking playing on arn't the size of my THUMBS. That's right folks I think if I farted at my spawn the enemy could taste it at theirs. But console players don't need big maps because there is a smaller amount of players per server/game.

Ok techy stuff...yah techy stuff, since they built this for a console and for the console only don't expect any freedom. No servers, no mods, no custom maps and the game stops every so often to change host when he pisses off. Think you can fit about 12 people on the server and you have to wait extra long between maps while noobs fiddle with their shitty gun set up, this game feels like a console FPS, and isn't what it is cracked up to be for the PC. This seems to be a pattern though, good solid series of games being shit out for console players and that shit being put through a mincer for the PC players.

Although...the graphics are nice. I hate Christmas.

P.S. I heard that if you get to the highest rank theres a perk that lets you shoot lasers from your anus. Pro.
This is quite possibly the worst flow chart I have ever seen.

I kind of question where the whole controllable vehicles come in and all that, (prestige 1 level 40 myself ON PC.) and also how the fuck you came up with such a ridiculously retarded flow chart. The maps are made to fit 4-12 people with some maps large enough for 18 so you might as well just shut the fuck up.
Also: if you want realism play something like ARMA, I would prefer a game with good balance over a game which is realistic any day.
The only point I agree on are cheap kills from RPGs and such, which is why I miss dedis from COD 4 (where the nubtube amongst other things could be banned).

1887/p90/+akimbo says "lolwut"
the AC-130 and chawpa gunna in care packages agree.
not to mention the energy sword commando knife.
Well gee bub, you must really suck at games, poor you.
Also: if chopper gunner / ac-130 stay in the air for longer than 30 sec you're doing something wrong.
sir, how was my quoted statement implicating the features of MW2 that do NOT require good aim skills to be deadly effective have any implication of my ability..?
nowhere in that statement do i say they are cheap, i think they look pretty fun things to use because i don't have to aim precisely, just hold down a trigger(s) and rack up kills.
so the aircraft can be shot-down by a couple of people with stingers, they still don't need really good aim to use.
