Poll: What broke MW2?

[Malf]

The fact that Infinity Ward doesn't acknowledge or try to fix any of the obvious problems in the game.

They have acknowledged the problems and want to fix them however Activision is in charge of whether or not the game get's patched.

i said unbalanced weapons, because the upgrades are just infuriating sometimes.

also, what's drop shotting?

Where you go prone as you open fire, so it's a lot harder to hit you.

Well you can prone too so its a fair go. but everything else ye....just horrible!

The multiplayer in MW2 is fine the main problem is that it ended up playing a bit different from Call of Duty 4 and a lot of the people who really liked COD4 don't like that. So if that's your problem just go back a play COD4 no one will think any less of you for it.

Also COD4 had the noob tube problem to so don't whine about that.

And on a final note why is everyone complaining about this! If you don't like it don't play it. It's as simple as that.

1.)2.)Camping is annoying, spawns sucks (I swear to god i got killed 3 times by the same fucking air strike) once (On hardcore mind you).
3.)Drop shot to me was always something that could be overcome by being fast as a mofo (I only ever play hardcore, so its not quite as big of a deal there).
4.)Quick scoping, also not really an issue in hardcore, althought when people do it, it is all the more impressive since they are just guessing where the middle of the screen is.
5.)Unbalanced weapons. ummm. everything kills in 1 or 2 shots depending on damage in hardcore anyway so... I guess to me there aren't any super weapons, just some weapons that are totally unusable.
6.) Kill/death streaks. Yea these are super fucked. Death streaks basically penalize the other team for being good, and I love when i get blown up by a (Insert killstreak here) when I'm doing well cuz of my dumb ass teammate that keeps getting chopped and just gave them the aforementioned streak.
7.) runnin' man. No experience with this, but if they take away my marathon I'd be super pissed.

So I guess my in conclusion would be this: The spawns are the most fucking terrabilist of any game I have ever played in my entire life, and Normal sucks because you can take so many bullets before dying. Playing hardcore at least fixes one of these.

Nothing MW2 is a fun game. Its just really cool to hate on it. Big Rig Truckers or whatever it is called is broken. MW2 was broken when they had that grenade spam glitch, but that was rememdied and now it is just like any other generic shooter.

 

[Mr. McFuzzers]

The community broke MW2, the constant glitches, 10th prestige lobbies, and they fact that most people who play that game act like complete assholes when you play with them makes this game very unfriendly.

P.S. Hit markers two feet to the left of the target are wonderfully common in game winning killcams

Only today I was killed by a shot that was about 5 feet behind me and I was around some cover.

The multiplayer is servely unbalanced, the maps are sniper/camper friendly (Terminal and Wasteland are the two that spring to mind) and the fact that it is the most popular game out there.

Much like Halo and all the other games that have more player in, you have more douches that do stuff like camping, drop shots, noob tubing, one army and commando.

Though the most annoying glitches were the Javelin glitch and when the game broke and you had about 60 people playing on Rust

Lack of dedicated servers for the PC.
Poor Map design, nearly all the default ones seem tiny compared to other FPS games and for certain game modes.
And on maps, it is petty I know, but having to pay for maps that are recycled from the first game.

Although I do admit whilst playing the PC version I've rarely come across players that can only spew vulgarities and abuse. Guess thats only a console thing.

 

[natster43]

I just get annoyed when ever I play it. It really isn't broken, my only problem would be the stupid akimbo shotguns.

 

[NickCaligo42]

The glitches, unbalanced weapons/perks/killstreaks, the noobtubes, and the lack of Infinity Ward's fixing of any of these things.

*snort* That's an interesting point. With Infinity Ward down the tubes almost nobody's around to patch anything. I never thought of that.

 

[vallorn]

Battlefield Bad Company 2.

it was the constant glitching and exploits (can you say, One Man Army) that ruined it for me. that and the unbalanced guns.

and yes. im now officialy a Bad Company 2 fanboy. (not the worst thing to be a fanboy about)

 

[MicrosoftPaysMe]

Dude, how could you not put in modded FAL's? Besides that quick scoping

 

[MadeinHell]

There is no option I need
"all of the above".
Especially on the PC MW2 is a big stinking pile of crap. And the stench keeps getting worse since the release.

no its just an Xbox Live thing as most of PSNeurope dont have headsets. and when they do they're speaking Spanish or similar.

The problem is honor. Assholes like to play video games. It's one of there many hobbies. These assholes like to play the latest and greatest games out there. These assholes also enjoy winning. Most people do. The problem occurs when they'll do anything to win. For example, In CoD WaW, rifle grenades were used to survive. They had a word for people who didn't use them: dead.

As the game progressed though, people stopped playing. They were bored winning here, they needed a new frontier. Leaving the scarce few to battle amidst the multiplayer ghost town. Something within them changed when they didn't need to rifle grenade to make a kill that round. They stopped. Now as the asshole breed is falling off of the MW2 wagon, they fall back to games they remember. When the assholes dusted off there rifle grenades, they were scorned by the community. They lived in peace while the assholes were gone, earning kills with their guns, not their weapons a secondary to their kill streaks.

There is a distinct difference between the two games now. When a player is killed by RGs in MW2, they complain about it and pull out theirs to handle the situation. In WaW, the player doesn't pull his out. He makes it a point to kick the user's ass using an even lousier gun than before to be able to mock the RGer for sucking.

Lesson? Step back from the arms race, and have some goddamned fun for a change.

Campers get awarded with big killstreaks, that's what broke it.
