Luckily I was able to play the game before I bought it (on my brothers comp-like 20 hours or so-), and the MP frustrated me more than any other MP-FPS ever!
Yes, killstreaks are cool, but giving autokills, which then lead to more killstreaks, which lead to further autokills, etc... made no sense to me. Plus deaths, to me, felt frustratingly random at times, which was then exacerbated by all the aerial junk.
Yes, there are some counters to that stuff, but you have to level up to get them...and that's not why I play FPS. I like to hop on, have a few hours of fun, and then log (TF2 & CoD1-3 are perfect examples). MW2 just made me feel like I *had* to level, in order to have fun...and then I had DAoC flash backs...and woke up on the floor several hours later.
Needless to say, I decided not to buy the game after that.

I completely agree. CoD:UO had a great reward system - being able to call in an artillery barrage periodically, if you got enough points was great fun (plus I never felt like I was being griefed as I did in MW2). TF2 also is a great example of pure shooter fun.miracleofsound said:
I know. I tried out the FAMAS yesterday for the first time, and had a great game where I got air support twice.Marowit said:
I finished the match with over 24 kills, and when I went to the challenges fo rthe FAMAS, I noticed that I had only 6 kills with the gun.
That's 24 kills... and only 6 with my primary weapon.
I got rewarded for playing average.
Ridiculous.
Despite all my complaning about the Pave Low, I love the killstreak system in MW2. I absolutely love getting the AC 130, even if all it is is 30 seconds of shooting at rooftops. The sound it makes when it fires the howitzer is awesome.miracleofsound said:
Do you have any trouble with the Javelin missing tons? Last night I was attempting to shoot down a harrier with it, so I locked on and fired, the missle went straight up, then a few seconds later, when crashing into the ground way off from the Harriers location. I noticed that it does this pretty frequently.jobobob said:
I can dodge air support like a ninja running from a fat person, and akimbo means they have no range at all so I can snipe them out easily with the FAL (best gun in the game), however, the one thing that bothers me is that THAT IS MY CRATE YOU GODDAMN IDIOT GET AWAY FROM IT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Someone took an AC130 from MY crate. I wish there was teamkilling in Sabotage.

I never had a problem with pave-lows. Of course I don't have much of a problem with any killstreak rewards since I usually have cold blooded on. I do hate, however, the nukes.
Dicks who abuse and overuse Javelins, most notably in the last game I played: Demolition in Favela.
