Your top 5: Things that grind your gears in MW2 multiplayer!

[Distorted Stu]

I cba giving an explanation when others already have for me:

5. The witchers.
4. The akimbo Shotties
3. That sniper guy who never moves
2. The idiots who run into the middle trench/bunker on Wasteland
1. Painkiller! - Damn i hate laying into someone who just spawned AND WONT FUCKING DIE!

As for the share packages, nukes, pave lows and everythign else everyone is complaining about, my answer to those is stealth. HOW CAN YOU KILL THAT IN WHICH YOU CANNOT SEE?!

Really, half the killstreaks require the target to be visible, just wack on cold blooded and your sorted.

Edit: I wanted to add more but i got a nose bleed midway through typing lol Carring on..
mute the kids or playing in the morning like i do! Best times imo.

5. No Boot Camp.
Now this might seem like a petty complaint, but I viewed boot camp as a place for new players to get their bearings, Infinity Ward made a mistake removing it but not as big as...

4. The FUCKING Spawns.
Who the HELL designed these? First I get blasted by some double shotty whore only to spawn in front of some prick after waiting the ridiculous few seconds in Hardcore to respawn, which brings me to my next point...

3. Akimbo Shotguns.
No words can describe just how god awful an idea this was, its like Infinity Ward sat down and started thinking "How best to drive fans back to previous games to see what we could do before we traded our creativity and fun in for shit and cheapness" I mean honestly, who else besides the Terminator has anyone ever seen wield two shotguns? Master Chief hasn't even done that yet, and when you can dual-wield shotguns in halo I'm officially going to go on a genocidal campaign.

2. Commando Perk.
OK this one is just plain annoying as hell, and in this section I plan to address riot shields. First off, Halo called and they want their energy sword lunge attack thing back, second WTF?! Who thought this was a good idea? Its not nearly as bad as the shotguns but you know what's ridiculous? When I'm using it and knife at someone, the hilt of the blade is practically touching a major artery but some how they shot me first, I mean I'm close enough to see the pizza sauce at the corners of his mouth and he shoots me first still, which brings up my riot shield complaint. Having a riot shield is supposed be like having the One Ring, or at least it would if some factory defect didn't make my shields as flimsy as paper left to soak in a pool of water for an hour, no one believes me when I say this, but your feet DO poke out no matter what, you can crouch and you can run but your feet poke out for about half a second, this brings me to my final thing...

1. The Map Layout and Runners.
Now I'll admit, I do run so its kind of strange to complain about this because it is lots of fun, but you know what really pisses me off? Sniping some where with a decent kill streak going and suddenly some prick runs up behind me so fast my claymore could only watch in despair as my life is cut tragically short of an AC-130, Infinity Ward made a massive mistake giving players the Marathon Perk, only to compound it by giving us Light Weight too. Who, I ask you, could honestly look at those two perks on NOT think "Holly hell I'll be like the Flash", I mean really, then you get a Care Package for all your hard running work and suddenly you're like the Flash on steroids. And that brings me to this last bit, its like half of the maps are designed for sniping, while the other half for running and all of them for ridiculous camping spots, I saw someone camp on top of a fence post once, I want you to try that now, go out and find a fence post then lay down on it, it has to be standing up, then I want you to find a chain link fence and lay on it too, this is where they camp and I want to know where Infinity Ward got such a terrible idea.

Really, half the killstreaks require the target to be visible, just wack on cold blooded and youre sorted.

Ok, I forgot something, yeah Cold Blooded, its way too over powered, now many of you may find that sentence confusing but think about it, a perk that makes EVERY kill streak reward useless, sentries can't see you, choppers and harriers can't see you and the AC-130 can't see you, this should only have been limited to UAV because once you have a perk that makes snipers with thermals unable to see you along with every other thing that you can get, you've just officially fucked over any sense of fairness the game ever presented (which isn't much, let me tell you) and replaced it with the annoying trend of making everyone equip Cold Blooded, Ninja isn't bad though, at least it only makes heart beat sensors useless.

In no particular order of hate:

Spawning:Time and time again I have gone through the enemy fortress (or camping area), painstakingly cleared the area of enemies, only to have one spawn on top of my head while I'm using the killstreak/reloading. This works both way too, as I'll die and then spawn, to have my head shot off the instant I get through the F stage of killcam. Fair enough. The guys probably moved up. Then I spawn IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. Again. And again. And again. This brings me to my next hate-

Maps:The maps are shit. Totally and utterly shit. Most of them are almost exactly the same, they have too little cover for starting spawns, or they are as sprawly as yestersdays egg yolk, which all too well accomidates all the people who think its cool to tac-knife and akimbo.

Akimboisgusting. Absolutely gross. I HATE anyone who uses akimbo(maybe with the exception of pistols) because, seriously, WHAT THE FUCK? It has never been standard(or otherwise) practice to EVER use dual-wielding in ANY army. And how the hell do you reload two P90s, at the same time? And with guns like the UMP or Desert Eagle, how the hell do they shoot them without shattering their wrists?!

Tac-Knife:Knifing is way too easy in MW2. In Call of Duty 4, if you got a knifekill, hell, that was an achievement! Making classes based solely on knifing would be utterly stupid and a recipe for suicide, while in MW2 you can make a Tac-knife based class and get away with a decent score. I have a very strong feeling that attachments such as the Tac-Knife and Akimbo aren't supposed to be used a the primary weapon, but as a secondary oh-shit-I'm-in-close-quarters-and-my-main-gun-is-the-goddamn-intervention. And the maps are much too accommidating to knife people.

Balanced Weapons and levels:It kind of stabs itself with its shiny new switchblade, as even though there are many more guns and attachments etc, none of them are very much balanced. Also, it comes to the who's got the better gun, which the only real ones overpowered bullshit guns are unlocked in the higher levels, thus not being very accomidating to new/beginner players.

And here are a few more I couldn't fit into the 5:Campers, overpowered killstreaks, lack of dedicated servers, horrible ping, stupid-ass matchmaking system where you might get 1 out of 15 promised games, IF your lucky, and probably some other crap I can't remember right now.

5: It's not fun.
Why?
Because:
4: It's full of whiny kids
They scream, and they scream and they scream..
3: It's just not fun
Why?
Because:
2: It's overrated
It's just like any other FPS, just extremely overrated
1: It's not fun
See point 4 and 2.

This...

And It's retardedly unbalanced...

5. The community - Loudmouth fratboys and whiny 12 year old kids make me sad. Not to mention retards who fuck up objective based matches by just working on their k/d ratio. Worst example was some idiot who captured the other team's flag, camped in a corner and kept getting kills... cost us the match.

4. The hype of the game - It's an average game. Not great, not even that good. It overshadows games that are a million times better. This also means a lot of my friends end up not wanting to play anything online anymore except that. Means I've just lost my co-op buddies for Borderlands and such.

3. Akimbo shotgunners - Cheap motherfuckers!! 'Nuff said.

2. The glitches - Yes a 9v9 match on rust was fun at 1st... but it gets tiresome!

1. Poor host selection - For years online gaming has either been based on servers, or peer to peer host selection was programmed to select whoever had the best connection and based on location (for example 9 British guys and an American guy in a match, not going to choose the American as the host), however Infinity ward in all their retarded glory made the host selection random. This means horrible ping rates, and also means players getting kicked from the game as well. It took me and my friends so many tries to get a game where our whole party was kept in the same match.

Do you want to know what i hate about MW2?
1) People like you.. all of you.
2) No its not balanced, people get rewarded for being better than others :O wow, since when should you be punished for being good? New killstreaks!! 11 kills without dying = Half of your original life. Now that would be fun wouldnt it..
3) The Famas and model 1887 akimbo are overpowerd, oh no! Use them?
4) Campers? Wtf is even a camper these days?? I thought it was a guy in a corner (never moving) with somesort of shotgun? Now anybody who gets 2 kills in the same building is a camper?
5) Yes people run around with knifes.. shoot them. (They don't like that)
