Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

[kuronosan]

I'm sorry but your complaints are really only valid in hc mode and even that is stretching it. I have never been outgunned using a bolt action at range. most of my frustration comes from getting sniped. I liked cod4s system really good but i have so much more fun with waw's. And jesus... if you are in a place where you can't see three dogs coming you must be camping or not using an automatic. at least you can knife them. it's alot better than spawning three times in an airstrikw or chbopper raid.

i also wil agree on artillery. bloody useless.

[Priran]

even if the MP40 had 0 dropoff, it still wouldn't be better at sniping than a bolt-action because of how inaccurate it is, and because of the ridiculous recoil it has.

I don't even get how you can knock W@W for being impossible to snipe with, when COD4 was just as bad (smaller maps, assault rifles) and killcam making sniping a generally terrible idea to begin with.

[Exoduso]

Fuck yes IW. :D

I'll stick to the single player parts. Honestly, I can't stand FPS online anymore as far too many people are cheating. Sure, there are a few skilled people that don't, but the numbers are low since a huge majority of FPS population are typically teenage males. If you beat them, you are cheating and better prepare for major repercussions. So very annoying.

I'll admit I've never been great at FPS online, but I don't believe I am horrible. It's just extremely annoying getting headshot within the first few seconds of a match full map.

I've clocked in about 500 hours worth of gameplay when I can into COD4 and 100 with W@W. Betas on both and game time. I gave up W@W b/c of its grossly poor balancing. To deny the lack of balance between the two games is pretty blind, especially if you play hardcore.

Ill summarize it, since I agree with a lot of whats already been posted.

Those who lost a lot usually lost, and lost bad to the assraping tactics that most decent -> good players would use over and over and over again. The percentage of players on the same perk/gun setups was much higher resting on certain ones. Everyone slaughteres with the STG, or noob tubes, bouncy betseys , bolt actions, etc

Compare this to COD4: Just about every player has their own unique perk/gun style. It changes drastically map to map occasionally too. The level of skill I see combined with the endless setups I've seen outweigh W@W and thats why I found myself playing it again after months with W@W. Its great seeing so many players play with surgical precision and with just about every setup. The ACOG Riflemen, the snipers, The RPGers, the noob tubers, The desert eagle players, silent types, the LMGs, and of course my own: ACOG Barrett. I can go on and on with what i've seen, and it always cracks me up to see someone take unconventional setups and slaughter with them.


Now back to the topic on hand. What can they fix or work on?

For one, and I'm sure itll be the first thing map design.
Expanding on perks
Expanding on guns
Expanding on maps
Modes
Lengthy Campaign.
Co op options.

Theres all sorts of things they can do.

Also heres another tidbit. Apparently infinity ward is working on an assassination game.

I loved Grenade of Grenade: Grenade Grenade, I am looking forward to the sequel.

[Blabj]

TF2 is awesome because grenades aren't in it.

[Tomiko]

killcam making sniping a generally terrible idea to begin with.

I just started playing CoD4 recently and I have to admit that that's one of the most retarded "features" in the game. Otherwise I'm loving it so far.

They should only have the replay if the person that killed you is within a certain distance from you. Although I'd be fine if they ditched it completely.

Unless they're perfectly cooked, grenades aren't a problem if you're quick.

[Belragga]

Nothing more satisfying then getting that perfectly cooked grenade through a window 25 meters away and whatching it explode right in that snipers face. (or blow up his betty and getting that lovely counter betty)

[Priran]

Unless they're perfectly cooked, grenades aren't a problem if you're quick.

in CoD4? they don't need to be anything close to perfectly cooked, since the least damage a grenade in that game can do is still 70% of your HP.

[kuronosan]

I'm sorry, I just don't see the unbalance... maybe I play on too many hardcore servers or something... but I just don't see it.

Sometimes I do think some of the perks need some expanding. They're pretty much the same ones as in COD4 and with less usefulness.

Expanding on the guns' upgrade limit (Silencer, scopes, etc.) would be lovely, as it was always hard for me to choose Silenced over Red dot.

Also adding things like silencer would make sniping so much more fun, as it's annoying as a sniper to be seen on the UAV from firing a shot (Don't know if UAV jammer altered this, I believe that was recon only; I haven't played in months, and never used it much.)

Another thing that could be interesting would be more ops modes. Domination was fun as hell, not to mention hardcore S&D.

Sounds very interesting, not many assassin games out there that really did well.

testing with dane cook

Noone else found this funny? :X

[Blabj]

Silenced M21 from all ghillied up in multiplayer matches... Om nom.

Yeah silenced snipers would be good, but they'd really have to make some adjustments to their range, I can see it being pretty annoying if people can still snipe from one side of the map to the other and not be able to see where they are

I know it sounds pointless but I always liked the laser pointers from the single player campaign that were fitted during the night missions. It would be good to have a proper night time map, complete with blacked out indoors areas and sneaky little alcoves.

I hope they do atleast one vanity map, remixed from a previous title like they did with Chinatown, for nostalgia sake and because I always find it fun to play something familiar - but which you haven't played. I also think they could go all out and try and make a perfect sniping map, which I'm sure they probably will, as there are usually 2-3 "tailored" sniping maps, where you'd have to be pretty good with a red dot to counter all the enemy sniping.

One feature I'd like to have seen is "x only" matches, like snipers only, or pistols and nades. But as a playlist. Something fun and a little bit different to normal matches where anything goes.

I can't see them going backwards and not including co-op in this game now that it has been added to the franchise, and the nazi zombies mini game was a nice little aside from normal play, and a good reward I felt. Some similar mini game would always be nice. (I guess you could say that the plane epilogue on CoD4 was a mini game... I just thought it was hell trying to do it on Veteran for the achievement.)

In terms of new weapons, I'd love for them to make some mad perk 1 weapons, like Treyarch did with the flamethrower. Something like an M32 grenade launcher or a portable mortar kit -- something a bit out of the ordinary. Shotguns are usually a let down in the variety departments, maybe they could add a type of shot perk, so you can choose between say medium shot or a solid projectile for accuracy over distance. I really don't know, but it would be nice for them to do something surprising that no one saw coming. Just to add another idea since I'm on a roll, depending on how modern they're setting this one, they could add a backpack UAV as a perk 1, which could be launched anywhere on the map and function seperate from the team's UAV, providing the person who used the perk a further 30 seconds smaller ranged area with which to search. They could go as far as to make it so you can shoot down these UAVs, or that you can go and collect them and then re-launch them once they've landed.

I just hope they don't get tempted to add vehicles into the multiplayer maps, with some maps just being an outright gankfest to whoever can get into the M1 Abrams the fastest and get to the enemy spawn...

Sounds fun at first until you realize that everyone is doing it.

[Blabj]

Oh really? I'm guessing that's a pretty easy mod for PC players... Still, pretty awesome :D

[Brill Weave]

Tekki, we will camp outside Activision until they give us a free copy! I would like to see them change up the accessories as well. A silenced sniper rifle would be absolutely disgusting. AND GET RID OF FUCKING JUGGERNAUT!

[Blabj]

Nothing wrong with Juggernaut, just don't assume people will die in 2 or 3 shots :D

More annoying is people who're good at last stand, especially if you're at close range and you don't see them go down.

[Brill Weave]

Juggernaut just bothers me. They went out of their way to attempt to make the game realistic. Juggernaut is unrealistic. Completely and totally. It's amazing how much I still enjoy playing the game though. Normally I will get bored with something fairly quickly. But CoD has managed to keep me thoroughly entertained every time I play. Plus I'm getting closer to the gold cross. I think I need a total of two more prestige rankings(including the one I'm on now) before I jump into the gold.

[Zilla]

Ive seen people get killed from last stand from far away. I have even gotten hit and im like what the fuck im a good 20+ feet away.
