Modern Warfare 2 Fails, hard

[Fletcher]

Ok, I bought this game along with millions of gamers with massive anticipation of having an epic campaign, and great fun online.

The campaign was good, but not great. It had its story flaws, but the action was always there, but suffered the problems same as Transformers 2. Lots of action, but a lacklustre story.

Now the multiplayer, ho boy. It is beyond repair at this stage since I believe Infinity ward was smoking every narcotic they could find in the design room. Sure, there are good weapons, fun perks and ok maps. But what is the point when the foundation, known as the game engine is badly flawed.

These flaws may be small, but a gear linkage in a car is small, and if that goes, the car goes. Same as glitches in a multiplayer game. It ruins the fun. There are too many glitches. Even with the latest patch, I've seen videos and been in games where people went into an AC-130, and used the main cannon like a damn chain gun. Murdering all life as I knew it.

Not only that, but connecting to games and the latency involved is biblically annoying. Very high ping, on average everyone, yes everyone gets a ping above 200 ms!! In a FPS, that is death on a very explosive stick or faeces.

Another thing that annoys the hell out of me is Infinity Ward's foolish attempts to make the game rigid, by that, you can't alter or mod it. Sure, for game security that is good, but there is a damn good amount of talent in the Internet that can improve the game! Look at Valve with Team Fortress 2, they take the mods on board and tweak them and use them on official playlists.

This has been a short rant by Fletcher, I can go on, and on, and ooooooon! But I'll spare you my anger.

I'm going back to Call of Duty 4, its simpler and I love my RPG.

This is why I am staying away from Call of Duty altogether. Back to play my old <strike>Grand Theft Hitler</strike> Medal of Honor: Frontline. Or maybe some CS:S...

I've been playing MW2 recently but not a lot. I have had an easier time knifing and using the RPD as my best run and gun, I haven't encountered any cheaters but I do encounter a lot of boosters and it give me joy to kill them and wait a second and kill them again due to tactical insertion. All I can say is when you find a cheeter just leave the lobby and try a different game type. It seems like there are more cheeters in team based games then free for all but I might be mistaken :/ BUT on the off chance I am correct, it's better to deal with boosters then cheaters :D

Game sucks but I haven't seen any cheating in a while, except for the odd wave of care package glitching. But I don't really care so much about that, since I always have a few classes running cold blooded, and running up to six guys standing in a circle around a bunch of boxes is fun stuff.

Good fun, great action, very stupid story, idiotic online community = MW II.

Hence why I jumped back to BF2. I though Dice was crap and money suckers... but seems like infinity Wards proved to be even worse.

Fun campaign but lacking plot. Finish all the spec ops missions on veteran. I've prestiged two times on multiplayer, but recently it's a "meh" whenever i see the game on my steam list.

It's fun for those 20 min of mindless gaming. I don' know any other game on the PC which can make you or others rage so hard. There is no admins on the multiplayer. You run into countless idiots, micspammers, racists, noobs, hackers, cheaters, kids(its a +18 game damnit! Why so many kids?!)

I'd say it's not worth the 60?. Luckily i had a friend buy the game for me so i haven't spend money on the game, but for those of you who feel guilty of buying the game, i feel with you. Activision and IW is just horrible with the PC release, now they expect us to pay for DLC?(Not confirmed but most likely)

MW2 is dead soon (at least on PC, i hope!). Let's all just forget the fail that was so much hyped. And move on to better games. I'll stop my rant.

I knew the game was going to fail when i read before release "MW2 will be using matchmaking for the PC". Matchmaking on PC = FAIL

Actually why here is only one nice hardcore mode? HQ is boring, but after playing hardcore all other play-modes are seems stupid and boring much more...

they didn't really put any effort in to hardcore mode. Like the balance completely falls apart, for one.
