MW2 on the PC...lol.

[Whispering Death]

I agree with the flow chart.

 

[Srkkl]

I can never wrap my head around the arguments people use for the killstreak rewards in these games. The basic one is this: If they're skilled enough get the streak in the first place, they deserve the free kills. Why? Why should anyone be given something akin to godmode in a competitive multiplayer game? Why should the table be slanted against players who are apparently already outmatched?



A frag you didn't work for is one you shouldn't have. Needless to say I don't enjoy their multiplayer much. Shame really, the basic mechanics and all the customization are loads of fun. I always found the announcer shouting 'ULTRAKILL!' at me far more satisfying than calling in the helicopter anyway.

I really don't get what the big deal is with killstreaks, just use a care package four kills and you could get an AC130 I usually do.

It's sort of hard to simultaneously slam consoles and then get upset about MW2 not being supported on the PC very well, considering that the kind of players who are likely enticed to like the MW2 series are deeply in the console mindset.

I like you. You are now my friend.

MW2 is only to be played by people who can aim.... if you think that you can get some cheap kills from scratchin your arse youre wrong.

First of all, kill streak rewards are not god mode. If you think they are, you're probably mentally handicapped. No offense, but it's the truth. Most of them can be taken out by a single missile, and even the biggest ones can be taken out relatively easily. If your team is too stupid to be using launchers, well, sucks to be you I guess.

It's the classic reward system. You do well, you get rewarded. That's how most things in the world work. I apologize that you get destroyed by people who are clearly better than you, but them's the breaks.

That flow chart made my day. Seriously, I am going to post that everywhere now.

 

[squid5580]

Why is everybody congratulating this guy for being a pretentious asshole who made a flow chart that pretty much just illustrates the console wars? I thought we were above this, guys.

He copied it he didn't make it. It is old. Don't give him any credit for original thinking. It is undeserved.

And some of us are. If you haven't noticed it is the same posters time after time who respond the same way. With the old "oh look at me I am a PC gamer aren't I sooo coool" yet the only use their PCs seem to get is spamming the same old shit here. At least console gamers can spam that shit and still be playing.

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.

You are implying (see "lolwut") that they are actually viable weapons in combat, while anyone with a speck of skill can kill any akimbo p90er or hold off most knife runners. Now I play on PC and don't know how awesome auto aim on the consoles is, but I generally find that you would have to aim to "rack up kills" with any weapon (akimbo shotties maaay be excluded from this one, but you only get like 2 shots).
And to get a chopper gunner / ac-130 you either have to be a lucky little shit (who still uses care package lol) or already have enough skill to get to 11 (or 10).

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.

that's because I am being ironic. A autoaiming helicopter is the most unbalanced and unfair thing since the necrons in the dawn of war.

 

[LongAndShort]

Another self-righteous bloke with a computer jumping on the fucking band-wagon.

 

[Hybridwolf]

So that chart...made by a PC gamer then? Because only an eliteist git would do that.

OT: Don't like the game, don't play it. Go get bad company 2 or something because I'm now filled with an absolute hatred of people going on and on about how cod sucks, and how IW have ruined it. In that case, sell the game and move on.

 

[DuplicateValue]

According to your little picture there, I don't like games and don't have any friends. Neither of which is true, I can assure you.

Also:
1. A MW2 thread? Really?
2. Pointless rant. Yay.
3. You used the word 'wank' as an adjective. I severely dislike you.
4. Hoorah FOR unnessary EMPHASIS!!!!!!!!!1

Ugh, reported.

Modern Warfare 2 is a mess of a game. I can't believe Infinity Ward even released it...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I think the game would be a lot better with UAV as the only killstreak reward.

That is why all the best cod4 Competitions used Pro mod. (only reward is uav)

Serious? That is awesome.

I wish the 360 had dedis like the PC... oh wait...

Seriously. I can see why PC guys are pissed.

Have to agree there. I loved how the helicopter in MW1 could shoot me from the other side of Overgrown, when I was hiding in a bush. Did they make it even worse in MW2?

 

[Jimbo1212]

100 % right.
I have it for the PS3 and its utter crap. Compared to the other PS3 fps's I own, MW2 feels dated, confused, and broken.
However most people won't accept this as they truly believe that MW 2 really is ' b3ST GAM3 EV0r' Though most people who think this are 360 fan boy's which explains a lot.

 

[azadiscool]

Even the graphics weren't very good for a PC. It was just a console port, and to think I once liked Infinity Ward.

 

[Kinghoza]

Trolled much?
