What's Your MW2 Pet-Peeve ??

[Nanaki316]

Online play deciding to shit all over you one particular night for no reason by repeatedly spawning you somewhere someone is waiting to knife you up the arse thus completely putting you off online play for at least another month...

 

[Flaringo]

Players that haven't hit puberty yet.

You mean the game's target audience?

Mine is actually a glitch that some guys have discovered. I don't know how it works but I keep getting stuck in games with idiots who do nothing but run around with a javelin. They don't shoot.... they just run towards you and if you shoot/knife them, they explode. Really difficult to get a kill streak when every enemy team member is using all the running perks and that.

Just thinking about last nights game makes me want to cry..............

Single player - something I think is a problem with all CoD games. Constantly respawning enemies!

There isn't constant re spawning enemies in the campaign.

My main problem with the online is the awful spawning, and the range of some shotguns is ridicules.

Seriously, sniping does require very little skill.

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).

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.

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.

I agree with you Flaringo. I can't snipe worth anything haha, but I respect those that can.

Also.... welcome to the Escapist.

What consoles do you all play on? I'm looking to get Mewtwo, and I want to know if it is different on PSN vs. Live.

I have it for 360 but I doubt if there is much difference in how people play.

That's probably true.
I mean I have both consoles, so my options are open, just looking to make the better choice community-wise.

I miss Zombie survival..


-People bitching about the PC version when the PC communtity kinda brought this on themselves.
-When the game decides to switch hosts a split second before I fire into someones head- and they poof out of the way when it zaps back into play.
-whining abuot classes- So far I havn't seen a class combo without a weakness. Tac knifers And Akimbo 1887's can both be brought down pretty easily with long range fire.
-Some of the challenges that i fel complelled to try and do- even when it means sacrificing k/d just to get kills with certain weapons.

 

[Tekyro]

It exists *ba dum tish*

I was getting my hopes up that I would be the first to post this and all =(

 

[Wadders]

Having to play a realistic shooter. Realism is not fun.

Good job MW2 isn't realistic in the slightest then.

I dont have a pet peeve (yet) but I guess you could say my MW2 pet peeve is that I only just got it today (I was waiting to buy it until I finished some important essays) and I cant play it until tomorrow because my stupid university network takes a whole day to register new firewall holes

Ah well, I've waited a month, 1 more day wont hurt.

Latency determines who wins a gunfight.

This, a million times.

It gives me anal herpes when I shoot 6 or 7 bullets into someone's chest only to watch a killcam where I just stand there looking like an idiot and not firing.

I'm also not a big fan of being magically teleported back out from behind walls by magic bullets.

Playing COD online in Ireland sucks, unless the host is British or Irish.

The fact that, although killing russian civilians brings a warm smile to my otherwise desolate stone heart, theres no way to skip it when my sister's boyfriend's father comes to visit. Bare in mind hes a reverand.

Observation not your strong point, eh?

 

[Batfred]

To change the tone away from multiplayer for a bit, on the campaign it winds me up so much when you get whined at about friendly fire and then they run across you just as you are about to fire an entire clip into a group of Ruskies. Idiots! Then 5 minutes later they'll continue the bitchin' when they say that they have no line of fire and then just stand there like lemons.

Tame I know, but I feel bad talking trash about something I love so much. It would be like talking about my wife behind her back.

 

[Jordan Deam]

Model 1887s. Need I say more?

I'm right there with you, my friend.

Tactical knifers, on the other hand? Really not that hard to deal with. But goddamn those akimbo 1887 users.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

My pet peeve in MW2 is my brother, who actually plays it (i do not). He tells that using a super-duper sprint with one-hit-kill knife is "not an exploit". Or, in more broad terms, balance of weapons and perks is flawed. And exploited.

I found this out all my myself while playing MW2, and I got more kills then anyone else doing it.

It was only really effective until the majority of the community got better at the game. It's alot harder now.

double shotguners can eat shit though

 

[pha kin su pah]

I can't really think of anything, Modern Campfare 2: Stopping Power Edition is simply an awesome game.

Not Call of Airsupport, Modern Killstreaks 2?

Only major complaint i have is the issues with ping, servers would be good, even on consoles, heck even region orientated matching would be alot better.

 

[Punisher A.J.]

AC130... should it be aloud to shot through every building and every floor in the building?
And why does my 203 shoot duds?

Its as finally tuned as your conversational skills.

Touche... I like you. You made me laugh at myself.

To expand a little, the game gave you two prompts at the beginning asking if you want to skip the 'disturbing' content, and you can pause it and skip the level at any time.
