IW in general. when someone askes you to trust them based on past experiances it normally means you aren't going to like something they are about to do. for A LOT of excamples see the United States government.

lol I don't reply to many threads but I just had to get my list in.
Alright, I'll start with Akimbo weapons. Why was this added into the game? Did they want to be more like halo? Did they want to hand kills to noobs even easier? We're not Spartans. We're soldiers. We CANT HOLD DUAL SHOTGUNS! As if people didnt spray and pray enough in that game, now they give akimbo weapons and take out aiming all together. And speaking of not aiming, lets talk about the noob tube. oh yes, this time around you can get one on your gun as well as a secondary. And with the scavenger perk you can get more and more ammo. BUT WAIT THERES MORE! with the all new danger close perk, you dont even need to look at the person. Just shoot anywhere within 10 feet of them and they're dead! we also have stopping power. this isnt all that big of a deal to me but its almost as if most people NEED it to keep up. about 95% of the players i see have it on. I also dislike the M16 and the FAMAS. don't ask why, they just really bother me. The maps are all "camper friendly." I don't care about camping with a sniper. Thats fine. But when i have to turn every damn corner wondering if theres a guy laying prone there with akimbo rangers, I think theres a problem. The spawns blow. I shouldnt die within a half second of spawning. I shouldnt spawn and be staring down the barrel of a fully automatic shotgun(do i even need to say anything about that one?). Once i watched a kill cam and saw this guy kill me THREE TIMES in 5 seconds. WTF!?! Really, come on now. at that point i spawned and fired my weapon at random just in case he was there. Dont get me wrong, I love this game. its fun. all of these problems could be overlooked if it wasnt for the players... yes, the players. People CHOOSE to camp. They CHOOSE to use akimbo weapons. It just urks me that all these people are actually enjoying watching a door with double mini uzi's. at that point you don't even need to do anything except hold down the triggers when ever you see something move on screen. And as if all this wasnt bad enough, "monkey see monkey do." these tactics spread like a disease and the players who cant seem to hold their own against it become infected with "noob." more and more players start to do this until you meet an entire team camping with m16's with grenade launchers attatchment and akimbo model 1887's on backup. thats when you drop your controller and stare at your screen for about five minutes.
I can handle these problems. I usually wind up with a decent to amazing k/d, but it just takes a lot of the fun out of a great game when players ruin it like they do.

Seriously, sniping does require very little skill.Flaringo said:
I tried sniping in one game (I'm a terrible sniper by the way) and I ended up being the MVP with only two deaths (both of which occured on my way to a sniping location while I was using a shotgun), either I suddenly gained super fast reflexes for ten minutes or yes, the sniper is a tad on the easy side (high accuracy, one hit kill most of the time and maps with wide open kill zones and lines of sight make it a cake walk).
The most annoying thing I've found so far is the pandemic use of one hit kill weaponary and weapon theft.
'Weapon theft?' I hear you ask, allow me to explain. I frequently use the shield (in 3rd person cage matches), I'm not too bad with it alothough there do comes times when the other guy will kill me, at said times I also find it annoying that said person will steal the shield I drop and go prone in the corner (effectively making them invulnerable to most things I can use against them).
I sacrificed a weapon choice to take the shield so you can keep you slimeless hands off of it.
My biggest pet-peeve, as it were, is the high number of campers that seem to be populating XBOX LIVE. I don't normally enjoy playing TDM or FFA because I like objective based games, but I've resorted to playing them because the people that I run into in HQ games or CTF games just sit around and camp.
singleplayer- There were no levels with massive replayability.
Multiplayer- Seems to be some arbitrariness in who knifes who due to lag. And some racist yank (although that's the trouble with most multiplayer stuff, interaction with other people who spend far too long inside!).

Hmm, well for me, playing on the PC version, find snipers to be useless. The only map they're decent at is Wasteland and the other big and snowy one. Even then I tend to get picked off by someone halfway across the map, holding an assault rifle or even a light machine gun in his hand.Iron Mal said:
Sniping is probably the thing in MW2 that requires the most skill. With the exception of spraying with a semi-automatic sniper, though.
I agree that sniping someone from a large distance doesn't necessarily require a huge amount of skill, but the day I see someone top the server with an Intervention with the ACOG attachment, I'll be impressed.
Here's my 2 cents:
- IWnet is fucked up beyond belief;
- The host will ALWAYS have an advantage due to their ping being so low;
- Hackers run rampant. So much for the "hacker free enviroment" we were promised;
- The installation is painful. Apparently the second DVD doesn't work so you need to download the whole game from Steam;
- WAY to pricy for a game that barely delivers;
- Customer Support has evaporated into a sea of lava;
- No modding tools;
- No Dedicated servers;
- Matchmaking is also shitty. If you don't like a game and leave, hoping to find another, you'll probably be thrown in the same game again;
- No kick function. A kick option would have reduced the ammount of hackers by a shitload;
- Maximum 9 v 9. Most games are 6 v 6
- Overpowered weapons and kill streaks

I can't really think of anything, Modern Campfare 2: Stopping Power Edition is simply an awesome game.
I like this game a whole lot. I'm pretty good at it too, but what really gets on my tits (thanks Yahtzee) is the people who whine and cry about every little thing.
"Wah 1887's are overpowered and raped me up the bum for 14 years!"
OK yes they need to be toned down how about NO AKIMBO ON 1887'S? Sure it's cool but if people are going to fill me ear with bile over it IW might as well remove it.
"Wah Noob Tubes Wah Wah Wah. Oh no! An effective easy to achieve weapon that can be mounted on any Assault Rifle that makes it so new players have a chance against those high-level players who all use ACR and AK-47! They suck! I want to be invincible!"
Quit yer bitchin'.
"Assault Rifles are too good for any situation!"
Assault Rifles are designed to be usefull everywhere that's the point they're versatile
"Campers!"
Assault Rifle with a M203 and Heartbeat sensor. Problem Solved.
"The Marathon, Lightwieght, Commando guys!"
Yeah they suck but here's the thing: If they sneak up on you then they were better. If they charged right for you then you failed to shoot them.
That being said I agree that Higher Level Guns (ACR, AK-47, and M21EBR ect.) are super overpowered and the lag is ridiculous.
"Kill Streaks are overpowered!"
Stinger/Javvy and Cold Blooded.
EDIT: The Stop bitching class
SCAR-H w/ Heartbeat Sensor and M203
Stinger/Javelin
Bling
Cold Blooded
Steady Aim
That class fixes any issues you may or may not have with the above things.
