Modern Warfare 2

hockeyboy

I pre-ordered this one. This promises to be the game of the year.

Game of the year's a bit much... but it definitely looks good. There are some big contenders for GOTY right now - Red Faction: Guerilla (a dark horse, sure, but if the demos are any indication it has a shot), Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2 (if it's as close to completion as they say), etc.

But I am looking forward to those snowmobile sequences! And to see what they've done to improve the multiplayer!

For sure GOTY, this one is made by Infinity Ward. Every COD they have made has gone GOTY.

I'm not saying that there won't be a GOTY branded edition at some point, guys... but c'mon, even CoD4 wasn't necessarily "game of the year". It'll sell a freakin' ton... but that doesn't mean that you should assume it will be the best game released this year, as 2009 is seeing some seriously great looking titles coming out.

Maybe it was just me, but I didn't think COD4 was all that great. The graphics were, as was the intensity level, but with only, what, 10 levels. I thought there should have been more to the game?

CoD4 is all about the multiplayer.

I'd say about 80 or 90 percent of my time on the 360 was playing COD4 and I haven't even beat the game. Whats that tell you, either that I suck balls really bad or the single player is not worth my time to finish.

I'm not saying the SP sucks, I just could be having much more fun with my time hearing little 10 year old kids bitching when I kicked their **** with my m4 carbine. Their whiny voice might get to you though so you gotta use the mute option. Sometimes the assumption that they are bitching at you is good enough

Well that explains it then. I'm a lone wolf, never play multiplayer.:rolleyes:

Yup, I've done prestige 4 or 5 times now in COD4, but never finished single player lol. I don't like to play games by myself with AI.

You play with your Ding-a-ling...doesn't that count?

I always play the single player, but I like to get the achievements. I just blast through on normal. It also gives you a good chance to get aquainted with the controller layout.

hockeyboy

That's what I do Ave- usually multi player is where it's at for me. I can often be found on Gears of War 2 playing wingman.

I have never finished even level 2 singe player. I'm all about multiplayer.

/rant :mad:

i'll have to agree about the waw multiplayer. it absolutely blows. there are so many quirks and glitches that it's not even funny. it has some of the worst netcode i've ever seen. their host picking process sucks, it constantly gives host to people with inadequate connections causing tons of lag (i have comcast 8/2 cable internet with very little latency, so i know it's not me). oh, and the kill cams should be removed because they either don't show what actually happened or the game has serious hit detection issues. i'll watch the kill cam and see multiple times when i died where the sniper shot either to the left, right or above my head by a pretty good margin and i'll die when the bullet probably didn't/shouldn't have even hit me. or i die seemingly instantly, but the kill cam shows the guy shoot me like 30 times, and my favorite is when i unload half a clip/mag and the kill cam shows me just standing there not shooting at all.

the spawn system is horrible, they just released a patch a couple weeks ago to fix this, but it fixed nothing, they say you should NEVER spawn in the direct line of sight of the enemy, but it happens to me all the time, i die, and spawn right in front of an enemy, die again, spawn right around the corner from him and die again, this happens a lot.

lots of weapons/perks are over/under powered. mp40 being the most overpowered. it will consistently kill better than the thompson which shoots a larger round. the bolt action rifles take too many shots to kill, too many times i've had my crosshair directly on the enemy's face and pulled the trigger and get no kill or the shot doesn't even register. i feel most of the bolt action rifles should be one shot kills to the head chest, but rarely does that happen.

juggernaut perk should be removed from the game, it's crazy, and people will say that stopping power cancels it out, but it doesn't. i can't even count how many times i'd get the drop on somebody, hit them with half a clip/mag with stopping power and they turn around and kill me with me 1-2 shots, yet, when i try wearing jugger, i still get killed every time with a couple shots. however, i feel if jugger should go, then so should stopping power because it wouldn't be fair, those are the only 2 perks i think should go though.

i don't really consider myself to be terrible at this game either, i stay around a 1.8 kd/r, which i consider above average since most of the kd/r's i see in lobbies are usually 1 or below.

/end rant :mad:

i do however feel that the co-op campaign, single player campaign, and especially zombies mode are the bright spots of the game, i have more fun playing zombies with friends than multiplayer.

You must really be pissed to write a page rant at 3:30 in the morning

I've only played the WaW demo so I never played the multiplayer. But with COD4, I have no problem with any perks as they are designed to make certain aspects of the game easier, except for one. The damn martyrdom perk where you automatically drop a grenade after you die is just ****. Its designed so you get rewarded for being a bad player and dying. Now I'll probably survive 95 times out of 100, but sometimes you have to leave yourself uncovered waiting for the damn grenade to explode.

I don't see why people complain about marty, it's just another perk among others, and really not that effective unless it's one of those mass murder maps (delivery and that indoor arena come to mind).

lol, just up late and bored so decided to throw my 2 cents in here. i don't really have a problem with martyrdom, actually, i don't really see it used that much in waw, cod4 i see it used a lot, but rarely die by it unless i'm trapped somewhere.

not really my kind of thing

Sami

Night googles AND a headphone holder, plus the game for $150. Not too bad.

Zamps

So if you want to use night vision goggles in the game do you have to put it on yourself?!

Haha face that stuff would be awesome! I look forward to the game and just hope the night vision goggles aren't complete crap.

That video is ridiculous. The game looks like it will be incredible.

spoonkerve
