Things to fix for the next MW game?

[rathorn14]

Assuming that another modern warfare game is going to come out, or at the very least another FPS with similar elements, I feel that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed, altered, or included. First to go: dual-wielding weapons (seriously, since when did Hollywood action stunts become a viable option for tactical combat?)
Next up: why can't I perform a combat roll or anything like that? If you run around a corner and somebody is standing there with a grenade launcher, I would find it very realistic and plausible to dive for cover in some way. Anyways, Other opinions?

Somehow I think Spawns would slash the thread.

I'd also like people to NOT walk around when I hit them with a 50.cal bullet. I mean, come on, who the hell can walk after being hit by one of those?

Fix getting stuck to your teammates.

Seriously in other multiplayer games when you walk into someone you simply slide around him or go through him. But in MW2 when 2 players accidentally walk into each other they get stuck until one player gets out of the way. Its extremely annoying, especially when this happens in a narrow corridor.

Thats the only thing I want them to fix. Oh, and better respawn.

I know, I really hope they introduce more realistic wounding. I can't wait for modern warfare three when a bullet from the pistol will cause your character to lie on the ground applying pressure to his wound until the paramedics arrive to carry you away in a stretcher, at which point you'll spend the rest of the game in the company of field surgeons before being shipped back home to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair claiming disability benefits.

Did I say I had a problem with pistols? No need to be a dick about what I said, but seriously, if I shot you in the side with a sniper rifle, you reckon you'd still be able to sprint off?

I highly. Forking. Doubt it.

A better story, longer campaign, a more balanced multiplayer.

Basicully what the game should've had

A large amount of the "balancing" for online play in the first game seemed fair or at least somehow rationalized. Now we jump from unlocking the Barrett last to having it available right from the start. Stopping power was balanced in a way by juggernaut, but that has been removed in lieu of the painkiller deathstreak bonus, and it's just not the same. Lots of head-scratching when my buddies and I try to figure out just what was going through developer's minds

The levels are also seem unbalanced, made in the fasion the guarantee you get shot from behind. The levels ought to be more lenar and have spawn bases for the two teams like TF2

The point wasn't about pistols, it's that there's no point complaining about unrealistic damage in a game that is, rightfully, more concerned with balance and fun than realism.

But then you would get spawn point campers (even more than you do now). At least random spawn points cancels out lessens that problem for the most part.

The levels being less linear and more accessable to being shot from behind is a good thing I think. It has increased the need to move as now there is always a way to get in behind a camper or sniper (notice that they are 2 different things before I get flamed). That's why you have claymores to protect you as a sniper (you deserve to be knifed in the head as a camper).

OT: Akimbo shotguns have no place outside of Terminator 2
I'm now waiting to be told another film in which they are allowed.

 

[CommyGingerbreadMan]

. . . You people know it's a video game right? If I wanted realism, I'd join the real army.

WHY does this butter substitute NOT taste EXACTLY like real butter??? AND WHERE'S THE FAT. If I eat butter I expect some fat, not this neutrality. \

*shrug*

On topic: I'd liek a little more life, more so you can tell when your being shot. I mean, look at Halo and other games. At least when your caught from behind you have some saving grace.

That's why in TF2 you can't enter their base.

Sniper's are only doin' what they can, they can't handle close combat, however people with Machin guns and shotguns have no excuse.

Linear levels work in TF2 and MGO why not MW2, i don't mean a open corridor i mean a like they are now with building's etc but more straight forward.
Getting shot in the back is ony fair in 3rd person cos you can turn the camera while still runnin' forward

A public Beta, so the first month of online play doesn't consist of being javelin glitched, shot from across the map with a 100 year old shotgun, and of cause automatic grenade launchers...

Seriously, isn't this why your meant to have these open betas, to make sure the shit doesn't fuck the **** up the arse. I retain after gears of war 2 and now modern warfare 2, betas should be made mandatory.

On another note, i think that when your title includes the word 'Modern' that shouldn't be meant i a sarcastic way in which the older the weapon, the better it is. Unless i'm very much mistaken and we should all refit our militaries out with 100 year old shotguns and knifes.

Got to admit though, when theirs only a couple of people running around with those weapons (always at least 2)the game is pretty damned fun.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Very simple, drop IW net, make stats tracking happen client side and reintroduce third party dedicated servers with admin controls and support for player mods.
Run an open and closed beta so the game doesn't land bugged to hell and filled with exploits.
Also, put the fecking player cap back up to 32 minimum you lazy morons!

Just make it like COD2.

Ditch the cheap killstreak rewards which encourage camping
Ditch all the cheap perks
Stop making all the guns spray happy
Gimp grenades or make it so you have to equip them

Just focus on creating original, fun and balanced maps instead of just cheap kills and camping.

At this point in the games life, I don't think "fix" is quite the best word for what they have to do for the game. I think the term "un-fuck" works better.

But anyways, They can fix everything in this game with updates. It's just a matter of when, and how much. But for the next game, they should go to the CoD4/WaW formula.

Hmm. . . uh. . . I don't know how to tell you this, but people camp in every FPS regardless. This game is no more guilty of it, but because no other game has quite the same thing people use them as a scape goat.

Sorry to burst your bubble

And ditch the perks AND be original? That's hard, without perks this game is just cookie cutter FPS and boring.

In what game where guns NOT spray happy???

Eh, gimp grenade launcher and you have something, I for one get killed by grenades 1/100 kills. And that one is usually from someone who had the forethought and accuracy to cook it and make it land right next to my toes.
