Poll: Worst things about MW2

[Siuki]

Why can't I say all? Compared to its competing FPS shooter, Halo, it has too many things that make you want to throw away your controller and question the unlikeliness of a Modern Warfare Beta that would have fixed all this early. Unless IW planned this of course. Several perks are just made to go together.

Shooter/Sniper/Akimbo

Sleight of Hand
Stopping Power
Steady Aim

Knifer

Marathon
Lightweight
Commando

Silenced

Scavenger
Cold-Blooded
Ninja

Asshole/Noob-tuber

One Man Army
Danger Close
Last Stand

Coincidence?

Well, if you're close enough to be face-to-face, logically the person who has the melee-oriented perks should win. Now, if that was just an exaggeration and you actually have distance between you, you should still have time to blast him in the face as he comes straight for you, particularly if you're carrying a shotgun or a fast-firing weapon.

I'm not exaggerating:

 

[Superior Mind]

The fact that it represents the stagnation and money-grabbing half-ass-ed-ness of the gaming industry.

 

[The Heik]

I don't understand why people complain about campers and noob-tubers. Campers are simply thinning the herd of the morons that keep trying to rush at them like zerglings.

Campers do not thin out the herd. They sit around in one location whether or not it gets them kills, and they only do because should they ever come face to face with another opponent on anything resembling even terms, would lose.

With certain classes it makes sense to stay in one location, but that's primarily snipers and the like who in a straight gunfight would have a serious handicap. But people who sit in a corner with a shotgun, aiming at the only entrance aren't really testing their skills, which is the primary reason for playing multiplayer.

OT: Noob tubes. You can have an enemy dead to rights, but just because the he pulls the trigger just before he dies, he gets a kill on you. It's a bloody "F you" button.

I kinda need an "all the above" button there.

I remeber back in COD2 there was no such thing as camping/noobtoobing/knifing/akimbo-shotgunners.

:/ back when shooters were real and not full of crap.

You make a game back with this many problems back in the day, and your company goes bankrupt.

I noticed that a criminally short single player campaign wasn't on the list?
the multyplayer being utterly shitty in every way wasn't on there either?
"No Russian" wasn't even on there
how about the fact that the first person shooter genera has killed the game industry?
that one wasn't on there either
your list needs work
your taste in games needs more work.

 

[sockdrama]

So many reasons, just one post. To start? Not being COD 4? It is a much better game with much better weapons, perks, balance, maps, killstreaks, campaign, everything. That summed it up nicely, but another thing: don't complain about yellers. That's why god made a mute button (or, you know, Infinity Ward). On the topic of shotguns: we seem to be in the uncanny valley generation of realistic FPSs. The perks and shotguns make it unrealistic, but a truly realistic game would suck, BADLY. Also, I believe they patched the 1887. And for the Ranger, it has as much range as you can spit. And on campers: stun, flash, frag, smoke, semtex, anything! They don't just have grenades for spamming, you know. Modded controllers: honestly, if you're willing to spend that much money for such a small advantage in a game... I pity the fool. Same for boosters. Noobtubers are just annoying but they do require an extremely slight amount of- sorry, I can't think of anything. And knifers... it's part of the game. Get over it.

the bullshit spawns, hackers, no dedicated servers (and while im on it the shitty host selection), campers and noob tubers. i can see why the latter 2 are so common though, its so easy to do, and the most rewarding in terms of k/d ratio...

*genre

and that's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

 

[Vicarious Vangaurd]

I picked other and that other is regenerating health. That's the worst thing to happen to video games ever.

sorry I misspelled genre, but that doesn't make it stupid
have you seen any original games since Halo came out?
no, of course not
because ever since then retarded assholes (like you) only buy FPS games
so developers cater to the dumb crowd so they can get a return on investment without doing any work.

so it's not the FPS genre that's killed the game industry, it's you, and everyone like you

you've made a monopoly on the game industry so there's only
the FPS douchebags
the RPG nerds
the Nintendo fanobys
and the people who only buy sequels and copies of old games

and guess which of those groups is easiest to please

 

[Dango]

The developers, for not properly balancing the guns.

 

[theSovietConnection]

My biggest problem with MW2 is that it seemed like a really campy B-action movie, in the worst way possible.

 

[Abanic]

The problem with MW2 is that the development team stepped away from the realism of COD4:MW and they added goofy, unrealistic upgrades to attract more of the Halo crowd. The players will use whatever is available to them to obtain an advantage, the main issue is that these features are included in the game.
MW2's problem IS itself and the style-over-substance tweaks that are included in it.

 

[Starke]

That it's sixty fuckin' bucks, and that multiplayer on the PC is (probably still) a haven for hackers and cheats.

 

[Miumaru]

People who complain about fair things. Some things really irk me, but only cheaters do I really hate. Camping and such are part of the game. Hell, campers are such easy targets too.

I can understand imbalance though. Like the snipers in Gears. But when I hear peopel complain about people using the lancer, well...ugh.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

You know what I hate about it?

People who keep posting threads/polls saying what annoys them must about MW2.

If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple. Don't go on here to whinge about something everyone else has complained about a million times already. (Yes, I realise the irony of this statement.)

 

[Skeleton Jelly]

I hate it cause it's really just centered around getting killstreaks, and usually invoking a rage fit when you die so close to getting said killstreak. And it's annoying considering it only takes on average 3-5 bullets to kill you. And there's so many nooks and crannies in which people can hide in.

And the people running around with grenade launchers as their primary weapons. Or rockets. And quick-scopers can be a bit annoying. Considering the actual good ones can kill you no matter what, unless you're said grenade launching whore.

Overall I think the gameplay is just too broken.

That's just me though.

Do you expect every last game that comes out to be totally unique and different?

And are you kidding me? Nintendo fans are the easiest to please out of all you mentioned.
Jesus, do you know anything about the industry?
