It's incredible unbalanced and the community is shit. I still have plenty of fun online, although nowhere near as much as the plaudits the game seems to get. My main issue, however, is still with the single player.
i have to say camping mostly, because thats how alot of people get their killstreaks.
i you hate killstreaks, use a stinger, it comes with 2 rounds, and thats enough to take out anything other than an AC130.
as for all this unbalanced shit, i dont get it, i dont see any problem apart from commando but that happens rarely, and maybe danger close but that happens even more rarely.
to anyone who "hates MW2 enough to break their controllers or headsets over it", stop playing for a week or 2, find another game that will keep ur satisfaction from running around like an arse and killing people up, id suggest Borderlands.

Hosts, whoever hosts their team gets a massive amount of lag reduced.
In almost every game we can tell who the host is because they'll have constant full bars, everyone on their team will have full to semi full flicking and we'll be in the red!
that being said on the occasion where I don't irrationaly blame the internet for everything from my lack of skill to my wasted time, quick-scoping takes the biscuit, quick-scopes you with it and then fires it back into your face at annoying speeds.

Drop shotting takes really good reflexes and isn't all that common anyway. It also only really works at knife range, the other function of the r3 button. At least drop shotting doesn't make you invincible.
Rant aside, I don't like the balance, camping, Bobby Kotick, or Streaks of any kind.

Drop Shotting doesn't take good reflex. You just go prone when someone appears infront of you and shoot. Also, it seems like the hit box doesn't stay in sync with the animation of going prone so even though you are shooting at them while they are going down, you don't get hits until they are actually on the ground.
Time broke MW2, as it does with most FPS's. I really believe, after getting into both MW2 and BFBC2, that after the first two months players have so thoroughly dissected an FPS that it becomes too predictable to enjoy anymore. That is to say, everyone starts to play the maps in the same manner, using the same weapons, and generally reducing the variance in the way any one match might be played. Granted, it's still fun, but nothing is as fun as that first month or so when everyone is still figuring out the best ways to play, and in not knowing those peak strategies people are all on a relatively level playing field.
Sure MW2 has exploits, cheats, and everything else, but it's the predictability of player actions in multiplayer that kills the game for everyone six months in.

C'mon man! you have got to be kidding me! Again?!?! That shit is old! let's leave it in: 'You don't like the thread? then don't post in it. tons of other threads out there. thanks.'AWEXOME said:
I mean look that dude's only got like 30 posts, how is he supposed to know anything about the escapist yet? give him a chance.
Anyone else notice you are never killed from infront anymore? You will always get shot in the back by campers ¬_¬...
It comes down to people. people are dicks. yes some weapons are unbalanced - UMP and Noob tubes i'm blaming - but the people that use them are the annoying ones. as for the rest of it, it's all just people being dicks and camping, drop shotting, knifing. The only thing i blame Infinity Ward for is the Spawning - which is just terrible.
screw it, im bored so here it goes, most of these dont break the game but are f**king annoying or things i found weird:
leveling system - i dont understand why if i play for a game or 2 and i have multiple messages in my inbox about boost lobbies, this doesnt break the game but its annoying to get the same message constantly, why do people actually care about their ranks
weapons - there were a load of guns in 4, where did most of them go, why not just add some instead of switching for new ones. also, why the change in unlock levels such as the .50, m16, m21 and ak47.
attachments/perks - heartbeat sensors are bull, enough said... cold blooded is stupid... duel weapons is a completely stupid idea, someone should get a video camera a try this, take two shotguns, run full speed and fire them both off... certain perks break gameplay such as commando, lightweight and marathon when used a certain way
maps - theyre mazes if you havent played them much and to put it blunt, most of them suck and the good ones you have to download for high prices yay...
killstreaks - forces people to camp because they want that nuke
lag - i shouldnt have to explain this...
spawning - i have no idea how often i would see a kill cam of the person getting killed by me, spawning behind me and killing me... fills me with murder frenzy
halo jumping/drop shots/quick scopes - these are just very weird things people do, i dont understand why people do these
thats all i can think of at the moment
