MW2: The Akimbo 1887's live on...

[Shambl3s]

The more people play a game, the more people find glitches and stuff. And however many people you have on the Dev team, there are ALWAYS glitches. Besides, FMJ + Akimo 1887's means that you have to be 1) Level 67 2) Use the Bling PRO perk, with 1887's with all challenges unlocked 3) You cannot carry another sidearm. So no launchers etc. either.

It's not THAT bad, honest.

Repeat thread is repeated...

We learned of this I THINK 3-4 days ago. (or maybe 2, can't remember)

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to goose step salute, draw peculiar artistic symbols that are shaped like funny X's and shurikens and shout "HEIL MY FUHER!" and inform you to use the search bar. Repeatedly.

You don't get a verbal abuse today because you were being creative.

OT: I haven't played since before the patch was put out. I've been to busy with Asscree2

 

[Scumpernickle]

This is why I avoid the people that use them on Xbox Live.

Plus, my Famas with Stopping Power kills everyone anyway.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

They didn't "go downhill". They're falling into the abyss without parachute. Sure, every online shooter has bugs and imbalances and whatever, but Valve, for example, at least treats it's customers like people.

Gears of war had moonwalk curbstomps.

Moonwalk curbstomps?! OMG WANT!

Sounds like pure awesome!

Did they nerf the damage of the 1887's? Just played a game where people should have died ten times over but didn't, when I shot them with my dual 1887's. I used to roflstomp easily with those things, now I need to actually try.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Sigh. Akimbo weapons just fail in MW2.

I'm really starting to get tired of COD now, it's too much frustration for too little reward.

 

[Nannernade]

Meh... nothing a sniper bullet to the face can't fix. =\

 

[cainx10a]

Ah the 1887, I remember when some old "granny" start whining against my team for using them, even when they got shot by it, ONCE. :s

 

[dodo1331]

Coming out with the most anticipated, best selling game of all time. How is IW going "dwonhill" exactly?

I think by "downhill" he meant "treating their customers with no respect at all".

 

[Blindrooster]

It's not the same, now you have to use perk slots and shit.

sadly, this^.

I said the exact same thing in a previous thread.

now once moar with feeling: *werds*

1) how do you know IW meant to allow perk slots to work around the patch? How do you know this wasn't an unforeseen work around?

2) I think the bigger issue is: why is the FMJ is increasing range? FMJ is supposed to just increase bullet penetration issues, right?

3) now that I think about it, why the hell does a shotgun have FMJ anyway?

1. Because it takes up a perk slot, making it more of a disadvantage to use it, this has been said a couple times already. Stop analyzing it you'll never be happy.

2. Why wouldnt it increase range?

3. Because you put it on.

 

[.Warheart]

Yeah I've had my fair share of time using the 1887's.. but for some reason it feels like the range has actually increased.. postpatch I already used Bling Pro (FMJ + Akimbo) with Stopping Power and Steady Aim. I can easily say that my shotgun range goes about 20% up compared to before the patch.

Eh?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I still swear that they weren't patched. I was killed by them 20 feet away, like 10 times today. They have NOT been patched properly.

Nor will they be. IW don't seem to care to be honest. They made thier big bucks.

For MW3 I think I'll stick to single player.

As far as i care i think its fixed "enough" Before this the 1887'ers all had marathon on so they could charge you, with bling they have to walk around and can be killed much easier. I'm sick of people saying the game is broken and IW doesn't care and MW1 was better. The game maybe has a few more glitches and unblanaced things but it was the most anticipated game EVER. They were kinda under pressure to release it asap and they still did an amazing job. They are trying to fix the game and everyone makes it out like they made the patch not work on purpose because Iw hates them personally, and its a load of bull, no other developer cares about your damn feelings enough to go out of their way to patch every thing you don't like (except maybe bungie who are taking everything except AR's off their maps because any gun that shoots anything harder than marshmallows is "unbalanced"). As far as the "this game is crap" Its not exactly the same as MW1, we get it, Take some time to play the game and get good at it instead of whining when you get killed. The devs said they tried to make it feel similar to MW1 but different enough that it isnt just the same thing with a slightly different campaign, i personally think that shows they kinda care about all the whiners feelings but the whiners would rather have a MW1.5 that felt exactly the same than try something new.
