Just started playing it, pretty impressed so far. Like all other COD games, unbelievably immersive.

I'm not crazy about how the screen looks when you take fire, but otherwise it's great so far.

This game is gonna fuck up my future. I gotta play sparingly until Christmas.

holy shit awesome game
unlike gow2 they didn't change much and just added stuff to make it better
I'll be busy for a while

[BlackSwordsMan]

sorry assassin's creed2 you're fucked

[DisAsTerBot]

pretty sweet!!!

[resistanze]

Luckily you can still party chat in Ground War, which I play the most. I felt like returning the game after staying in game chat for 5 minutes.

[iggypop123]

love it. feel free to add me on live. same as username. still sucks that top level people camp new players to death and spawn camp

I love the breach animation, slow motion effect.

Do any of y'all get motion sickness on first person shooters?

[balli]

Shit's awesome, but GOD DAMN, the multiplayer's so big it's overwhelming. I'm too used to having and knowing all the maps, unlocks and guns and everything. I'm getting tripped out by the sheer volume of new shit they're throwing at us. Feel like I can't play enough.

Fun as hell, but I'm already looking forward to the day this game assumes a role of comfort and familiarity.

[Thunder Dan]

the level in Brazil where you fight the militia is fucking hard

[Trainwreck2100]

I still can't believe i thought whisky hotel was an actual hotel

[The Gemini Method]

the level in Brazil where you fight the militia is fucking hard

Try it on Hard its a hell of a time...

No, really, it is pretty difficult if you use the ACOG'd weapon they provide you with. What I did, and this is totally up to you, is use that as your secondary weapon and pick up the red dot RPD. that gives you a massive plus when it comes to power in weaponry and cling to the walls. Having the red-sighted gun will allow you more range and won't limit you to scoping out targets one by one. That's how I managed to do the level.

[La Peace]

Samezies man, got a paper due tuesday and I cannot stop thinking about playing this damn game! :(

[balli]

I only played one level on Veteran so far, but it seemed infinitely easier than it was in CoD4.

Still, I could see that Brazil shit being damn near impossible on veteran. There are just so many guys in every direction.

[TwAnKiEs]

The part where you are running for your life is fun as fuck..lol

So a 25 kill streak give you a nuke that ends the game. I've only gotten a 25+ kill streak twice in almost 2 years of MW1 so this should be rare.

[The Gemini Method]

I've seen it once...it's pretty cool in that it just ends the game like that...they should at least let someone survive and become nuclear zombies...not a bad twist imo.

[DarkReign]

I am not hijacking your guys' thread, promise.

But hearing this gives at least one reason why they want small servers. 25 kill streaks were/are a regular occurrence on PC.

Ah, I see. Still, they should've made such a perk optional on a dedicated server.

yeah that got me too.

i was all like "ahahaha whiskey hotel, i get it"

[J.T.]

+1

You have to like snipe all of the guys firing RPGs at you from the rooftops in that level first, cuz if you get hit by any of those it's a one shot kill for any of those fuckers on the ground.

[spursncowboys]

I never seen this happen on the PS3 ver.

I would when I don't use my hdmi.

[The Gemini Method]

Went up agaist a lvl 63 last night and wondered if there was any posisble way to be a lvl 63 in one day because he was one of those talkers, and I just said whatever and proceeded to put up a fight whenever I came across him. Didn't like the fact that even that high a level, he was n00b t00bin' it for the most part. Anyhow, if anyone wants to have fun (I don't get all serious about pretend kills...) my gamertag is TheGeminiMethod (surprise).

[Bender]

my 11 year old is begging me for it.

[resistanze]

Slap him and say no.

[Trainwreck2100]

yeah that got me too.

i was all like "ahahaha whiskey hotel, i get it"

"The Rock" ending to that level was fucking sweet though

[The Gemini Method]

I don't think I've reached that level quite yet...I finished the Favala part and went back to doing the Special OPS

[iggypop123]

my god bling is awesome, the handgun that fires like crazy love it too. killstreaks are too high. i picked the emergency care package as the highest one. you usually get some sort of aristrike

[Trainwreck2100]

I played some MP with Atrain today.

also i'm whoring the shit out of the tactical respawn

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I would when I don't use my hdmi.

So when you see things clearer you don't get sick, yet do when they're less clear?

???

[The Gemini Method]

I think it has more to do with the sensitivity and the speed of the game than clarity. Although, if you play it on a bigger screen it could be too much visual overload...

Maybe he was trying to get the reward for using it, I think it's the Shotgun attachment. I never used the noob toob in COD4 but I used on a few guns so far trying to get the XP bonus.

The IW rep at the midnight release party I went to for the game hinted as much. I don't know if he was supposed to drop hints, but he was mentioning the distinct possibility that there will be at least one more MW. With the current money score IW has had in the first few days of release; It would be hard to imagine them not wantint to attempt a few more MWs.

Anyhow, the special-ops part of the game is really fun. If you have someone reliable on your team its pretty challenging and can actually cause you to remenisce since there are some flashbacks to the original MW...

The stage running for your life with no weapon was freaking me the fuck out. The boat chase kicked arse. 'No Russian' kicked arse. This game kicks ass. Pressing the button at 'the museum' kicks arse. The dropping of your killstreak packages adds another edge to this game. Getting the last kill of the game with a throwing knife is epic.

2 things I do no like at all about this game.

1) Most every gun has little to no recoil except the Ak and you get that at level 70 lol.

2) No match making for Spec Ops.

This game is different, I can't say it has lived up to it's 10 out of 10 hype but I can understand that some people will revert back to MW1 or WaW.

I'm still not playing it. Your assumption was wrong wrong wrong. :tu

[iggypop123]

damn mexican get it soon i already sent the request. it does suck you cant matchmake for spec ops. i cant find anyone to play with

[z0sa]

Havoc, give it up. It's a very fun game, first and foremost, but don't get me wrong: I can see where you're coming from. Boycotting the game is really the only way you can make any difference.

here's the problem: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 became the highest grossing launch in entertainment history, pulling in $310 million in the US and UK alone. (http://features.csmonitor.com/innovation/2009/11/12/modern-warfare-2-sales-nuke-all-previous-records/)

It's over. They've already won. The response to the game is immense and positive. They'll ignore you easily because of this.

Besides, you'll have fun. Don't give it the WaW treatment out of blind hatred.

[J.T.]

Fuck any and all aircrafts in all xbox live mode. Nothing is more supremely gay in a FPS than getting gunned down by a fucking plane.

[J.T.]

On the real, this game has been out for three days and I feel like 6 of the 8 people in most free for all matches have got to be 400 pound virgins with nothing better to do than continue playing this game because they've been on the couch so long their skin is grafted to it. I miss my WaW maps.

If I was 14 and had the ass tons of free time I had back then, I'd probably be level 60 by now too.

[DarkReign]

@ JT

First, stop comparing yourself to prepubescents. I remember when I was young and had lots of free time. Those days are gone but I remember doing cooler things than playing video games endlessly.

Second, FPS games are bound to cause heart failure for anyone new to the game. Youre new, like it or not. New by a couple days, but see reason #1 why it may as well be 2 months later.

Just giving perspective.

After a few days I can say with certainty that I don't find the MP as fun as CoD4. I'm going to tough it out and stick with this game, but I will not have as much fun with it as I did with its predecessor. It did not meet my expectations.

You're dying a lot quicker?

[balli]

You're dying a lot quicker?
The opposite. I can't find anybody half the time. I think the maps are too big and in some cases poorly designed. I think the guns don't feel near as good- just don't have that tight feeling. Every gun feels like the little rat-a-tat sub machine gun from Half Life 2.

I think the audio is mediocre. I think the over-abundance of unlocks and titles and emblems and all that BS is aggravating. I think it sucks that a bunch of Halo fags who never played CoD before, all of a sudden jumped on the bandwagon. I think the heartbeat sensor has absolutely ruined the gameplay of Search and Destroy. I just think it's not as fun.

I intend to keep playing. I'm slightly disappointed by the quality of the game.

[resistanze]

I'm gonna wait till I've leveled up to like 50-60 before making any conclusions. But one thing I have noticed as well is the lack of recoil. Not sure if it's just me.

[resistanze]

I died by a knife throw kinda like that - it was just stupid. It was the airport level and he threw a knife while blinded and prone, over many plants and obstacles, and it killed me while I was prone like 50 feet away. It even looked like it bounced into me because the throw was slightly short.

I got really pissed off by a death yesterday. This guy is charging me with no ammo...I waste his ass with the SCAR, 3/4 of a clip including a headshot, and he charges me. He goes down in last stand about 10 feet in front of me, and tries to knife me...he doesn't throw his knife, just a swing. Somehow, it hits me, even though there's no way in hell he's close enough. Pissed me off..I was on a kill streak.

Idk if it helps that I'm playing a legit copy of MW2 cuz the guy I was going to buy a copy from works some crazy ass graveyard shift job and was always sleeping when I was available to come buy a copy from him.

[cool cat]

I like how MW2 doesn't seem like that frag fest that COD 4 was. Most likely due to Martyrdom not being droped by everyone every time they die and the maps being bigger.

[Spursfan092120]

I was playing last night and I called in a supply drop and I was staring at the area it was supposed to drop at. My teammate just spawns and the crate smashes him dead. It was f'ing hilarious.

:lmao:lmao:lmao
Oh my God..if that was me, I would have been so pissed off...

He MIGHT of had commando perk which allows you to knife a lot further. I was knifed AROUND a wall before.... lame.

Doesn't matter. Most of the reason that a game like MW stayed fun for me for so long (and continues to do so) is because I can join a dedicated server and game with people I know and enjoy spending time fragging and getting fragged by.

I just don't see putting many hours into a game where every time I play the people either have to be friends of mine or random individuals I might never see again.

Yes, the situation pisses me off as well, but realistically I won't enjoy it nearly as much without the community aspect. I love killing people on my friends list too, and it's just obviously not the same kind of experience anymore.

There are already hacks for the PC, and if IW isn't extremely careful, the PC version will soon be overrun with said hacks. Without admins to watch the servers, it could be a pretty dire situation soon, yet another reason I'm not so enthusiastic about the game.

I'd also like to point out that it's not something you can really understand unless you've actually DONE it. I do think z0sa has been a part of a PC community in the past, so perhaps he can chime in here, but there's absolutely NO replacement for logging on to a server 5-6 times a week and seeing old friends as well as a few newcomers.

I STILL talk to people from back in the 1.6 days, back when I played on Server From Hell/Maps From Hell. And the Chicago War Zone server from even farther back.

I definitely keep in touch with the people on my CoD4 server. It just adds an element of fun that is absolutely impossible to match up with this ridiculous random crap. Sure, you can have a friends list 200 people long, but how about when you want to just game with a bunch of them without having to set it up? Dedicated servers make that happen. I log in, get 5-6 people saying "Hi!" and happy to see you -- it's just an awesome feeling to be known/respected on a server you frequent. And even feared, at times. There is simply no replacement for that. None.

[Sec24Row7]

I completely understand havoc... I played Quake/Quake 3 pretty competatively back in the day and if you can't have passworded dedicAted servers you can't build community or set the skill level high enough to make games interesting.

I'm a team deathmatch guy... How do you have neutral servers without someone having a 0 ping?

Clan wars???

Pretty stupid shit.

I'm not nearly as competatively as I was and have sold out to just play with real life friends on console (which was a huge transition considering I felt like a world destroyer with a mouse back in the day)... But what they have done to y'all really bugs me... That and party chat on xbox... But fuck everyone else... My friends and I just mute everyone but friends on profile options and talk about whatever we want... They can mute us if they want to...

I guess they don't want uber competitive matches, or any sort of clan community for MW2. I don't play anything competitively anymore, but I do play tf2 on the same map on the same server 5-6 days a week. I'm still addicted to 2fort4 from the q1 TF days. I guess I'm kind of a dinosaur these days anyway - every time I see MW2 on a site or in a thread title I automatically think Mech Warrior 2. I think it's just sad you'll never see anything as crazy as something like Prop Hunt in a nice looking game like MW2.

[symple19]

Mech Warrior 2.

It's about GD time somebody made another Mech Warrior game. There was something special about strapping 80 tons on and walking across a planet blowing shit up. With todays graphics, it would be freakin awesome. I used to love setting up mechs with different loadout/weapon configurations.

[symple19]

BTW, there are a helluva lot of people in the PC community who are indeed boycotting(or not paying for) MW2. I haven't seen so many people on the WaW servers in many months. I always ask if people are playing MW2 or not and usually 50-75% say they are not. There is definitely a lot of hatred for IW out there, especially among the hardcore.

=GH= Clan has partnered with every one of it's ally clans and friends to boycott MW2. That doesn't mean that no one is buying it, of course, but our server is still very very active even with the release of MW2.

I'm sure with how much they've sold in the US and UK alone they care about a small percentage of pc gamers.

[symple19]

I looked around at some articles but couldn't find out exactly what percentage of the record breaking sales for MW2 were actually attributed to the PC version. My guess is that a VAST majority of the sales were console versions (which is true for most multi-platform titles). I'm interested to see how the sales for the PC version stack up against some other big sellers.

I've been playing free for all. We need to get JT in that. I'm not bad once I kill somebody and pick up their cool gun :lol

Yeah...sounds good to me. I've played a couple of times with JT on Team Deathmatch. I'm a level 23 or 24 right now...I only play Free For All..I pretty much suck in team deathmatch on this one. Weird...in World At War I was great at it. I got this crazy kill last night from half way across the map with the SCAR. I love this game...:lol

I actually maintain a positive kdr despite almost strictly going for knife kills with the tactical knife on my pistol with a commando/throwing knives/lightweight/marathon setup.

I killed 4 people in a room with my tactical knife the other day, was hilarious.

Got a real nice final kill cam too where I threw a knife at a guy from the plane to a guy at the terminal hallway.

you people will never get the experience you need playing deathmatch

getting shot in the ass by a camper is so cool.

i look forward to pretiging, and getting buttfucked by a prick that doesn't want to prestige( cause he's a fucking pussy) so I'll be running with a default class and he'll have sniper, silencer, spas, and heartbeat sesor

Well, I'm half-way through the single player and I have to say meh. Story is half-assed, and the splotchy blood thing when you're shot-up sucks enormously. Definitely fun, but undeserving of all the hype. I will say the terrorist mission is freakin awesome!! Slaughtering innocents in an airport terminal as they crawl away is simply glorious. Even better to shoot up the cops as you make your escape. All the vehicle stuff gets fucking old though. I wanna play an FPS, not a damn vehicle game. However, I did like destroying armored vehicles and Russian troops with the Predator drone.

All in all, glad I didn't pay for it. I'll complete the SP and maybe do some special ops, but then get rid of it off my drive. TO say this is the best FPS of all time is ridiculous, Crysis is WAY better (at least concerning SP) I'll be perfectly happy to continue playing WaW for multiplayer.

[balli]

too much camping
+1 encouraged by god-awful shitty map design.

I was trying to stay optimistic, but I have to face facts and admit that I full on DO NOT LIKE THIS GAME. I don't just not like it, I actively dislike it. Fuckers ruined it.

[Trainwreck2100]

kurachi and skidrow :td

[z0sa]

Game is astounding. The maps are definitely, 100% surely not too big. If you aren't getting action, get the fuck out of the corner and stop hiding because I'm getting too much. Camping is a "problem" (tactic you apparently are unprepared for) in every FPS, especially realistic ones.

The way the perks and gun attachments are setup now, nearly perfect.

The interface/GUI are great, as well.

[balli]

Well, that's your opinion. I feel like it's a chaotic, unstealthy, poorly-designed, arcadey mess. There is an un-proportionally large amount of campers. And I do not like the guns.

All I can say is that my pulse hasn't been raised once. When playing CoD4 I would be so pumped and so into it that my heart would literally try to explode out my chest. On the regular. Haven't had that feeling once, not once, in like 8 hours with mw2.

z0sa, voicing his opinion as fact again.

No offense dude, but who are you to tell someone else that they are wrong about an opinion they have? I've actually read from numerous sources that the maps are too big, even some reviews, and vets I've talked to from CoD4.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

1.47 and my younger brothers is 2.54 but he also had like 32 days played on WAW

no offense, but you don't even own the game. Your opinion doesn't exist here.

And waw's maps were a good deal larger on average, excluding tank maps. You didn't play waw? Not my problem.

Dome, waw's smallest and most intensive map, is about the average size of your MW2 map.

[z0sa]

Well, that's your opinion. I feel like it's a chaotic, unstealthy, poorly-designed, arcadey mess.

Jesus, is it a camper zone or is an arcadey, unstealthy mess? Make up your mind already.

Mine is consistently high. I absolutely love this game, love the strategies I can employ, enjoy the different balancing and feel. It's a success in every way I say, PC gaming plights withstanding. The maps are great, too IMO. The weapons are excellent if overly numerous. The killstreak rewards add a completely new facet to the game.

Lot of good shit. Is it perfect? No. But way better than 4/WaW.

BTW, over 1.3 million MW2ers were on xblive last night.

[balli]

Jesus, is it a camper zone or is an arcadey, unstealthy mess? Make up your mind already.
Both. Lots of people camping. In particular, search has been ruined by the heartbeat sensor. A ton of background noise- so much that the ninja perk is almost entirely useless. Tons of bullshit popping up all over the screen. I don't need to see that 'payback' shit fill my screen 10 times a game. The background music is more distracting and is much louder than it was in 4. I know that's a complaint people had about 4. It never bothered me, but it is now. That commando perk is gay as fuck. Getting gunned down by an airship while you're on the bottom floor of a two story building is gay as fuck. The fact that the game is more or less- 'get 5 kills and hope you don't die while using your overly powerful killstreaks' is gay as fuck.

The maps are poorly designed in a way that there are too many long, nonsensical sightlines. Too many places that offer no defense whatsoever. I can't tell you how many times I've put sight on someone who was in a choke point, only to get clipped from some bullshit angle that I wouldn't have even thought to check because it wouldn't make any sense for someone to be there. There's no symmetry. I don't feel like there are two teams with opposing spawns- it's just a bunch of people spread randomly throughout these huge ass collections of randomly dispersed buildings.

Shit, I had a more enjoyable time with the WaW beta, than I'm having with this.

I intend to get good enough and familiar enough with this game that I'll be able to over-come some of its flaws. That doesn't mean I don't think it's deeply flawed.

Nice take. Not that I agree with all or any of it, but a lot more along the lines of discussion and debate. I will follow up later, boss is being a bitch.

[Cry Havoc]

no offense, but you don't even own the game. Your opinion doesn't exist here.

Please show me where I've given my opinion about the quality of gameplay for MW2. I'm simply pointing out that someone had a complaint about the game, and your method to discussing the point was to say, "No it's not and that's a fact because I deem it so."

The fact that I've got multiple sources that disagree with you, balli included, casts your rose-tinted perception of this game into doubt.

When someone says, "I don't like this and this" about a game, and you respond with, "No you're wrong everything is perfect this is the best game EVAR", who do you think sounds like they're rationally evaluating the software? balli was pretty hyped for this game, so I'm not sure you could accuse him of bias.

[balli]

Also, has anybody noticed how you have to wait for animations? Like in 4, if you wanted to swap out your pistol for a dead man's gun, all you had to do was hit y and x in quick succession as you passed over it.

Now you have to change to your secondary, stop and wait for the animation to finish and then swap it out. It seems trivial, but in a game of milliseconds, those animations take quite a while. If you don't intend to use it, why should you have to wait for an animation in which your secondary gun is readied for use? All I want to do is throw my pistol away and grab another gun as I run by it.

I was playing last night and I didnt have to wait for the animation.... maye just bad timing?? although I did swap out the wrong gun and had to get it back and almost died ha ha... good times

That's what I'm saying. It'll still swap it out, but it waits for the animation to finish, before it changes which weapon you actually have equipped. So end up dropping your primary and going back.

It used to be as soon as you hit the button to cycle between your secondary and primary, you had that newer gun equipped and could drop it even before the animation finished.

Modern Warfare 2 PC Hacked for Dedicated Servers

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/11/16/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-hack-establishes-dedicated-servers/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MultiplayerBlog+%28Multiplaye r+Blog%29&utm_content=Twitter

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mw21.jpg

Just one week after "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" went on sale, some PC players appear to have found a workaround solution to their dissatisfaction with Infinity Ward's new IWNet system. When Infinity Ward announced that it would forgo dedicated servers for the new matchmaking setup similar to what console players experience, a large number of gamers signed a petition expressing their discontent. Now, some of those code-savvy complainers have reportedly recreated a dedicated server experience by unlocking the game's developer consoler.

IWNet currently still recognizes the servers as "ranked" and "legal," according to Destructoid. A video posted of the altered gameplay shows the developer console in action that led to the breakthrough.

A response from Activision and/or Infinity Wards can't be far behind, particularly if the console discovery leads to further gameplay hacks and cheats. One of IWNet's chief purposes was to tightly regulate such activities, and hacks including non-recoiling guns and aiming augmentation may already be floating around.

Such feats have been around for generations of online first-person shooters, but the short timeline on which these hacks were accomplished following the game's launch is astounding. Never underestimate the fortitude of an obsessive PC gamer with time to burn and hackable grievance.

[Trainwreck2100]

too bad all those pc guys swore they'd boycott it

[ATRAIN]

Camp Duty lol thats funny.

[ATRAIN]

I do agree camping is more of an issue than the last game but with all FPS games, its part of it. I myself camp from time to time depending on game type. Team deathmatch is an ultra campfest especially hardcore team death. I really hope they give us hardcore headqtrs back. Heartbeat monitor makes it more of a campfest but I personally love it.

[balli]

I suppose the camping will be less of an issue in time. On the handful of maps I'm starting to feel pretty familiar with, it isn't as much a problem any more. I do think a lot of the maps are designed in a way that encourages camping; all sorts of nooks and crannies and dead ends to hide in.

But yeah, campers, for me anyway, will be much less of a hassle once I know exactly where they are and how to get back at them.

It just sucks not knowing the maps and having to check literally every single corner lest some camper pop out of it. And it sucks not being able to get revenge afterwards.

[DarkReign]

too bad all those pc guys swore they'd boycott it

While I am sure the hack was performed on a retail version, dont think the PC market is going to buy in wholesale.

If the hackers truly have figured out a way to have dedicated servers, I would think PC gamers will just steal this game en masse.

Look, youre making up stats and its pathetic.

An online game like CoD4, nearly every player had paid for the game. Sales were through the roof on PC because thats where the game started. So, if youre going to make up bullshit stats, I'll make one up to...

10% of players online stole their copy. Thats it. Tops.

See? I have no proof. I could look it up, but all I am going to get is industry estimates and even they dont claim 50% (they dont even claim 30%, fyi).

But yeah, IW pissed the entire PC community off so now you have people who paid for every installment of CoD since the first one who will readily torrent this abortion to play on dedicated servers.

[DarkReign]

See, that fucking YouTube video says it all.

Thats the kinda shit a console experience will never be able to deliver.

Never is quite bold. I feel advanced consoles will eventually replace PC's as our preferred devices concerning all multimedia (except portable) and especially gaming, due to advanced peripherals (virtual reality anyone?) required simply to play. The evolution of the Wii. However, I think consoles at that point will resemble PCs of today in many ways, so it could be a moot point.

This would be a good point if it's the way the trends have gone thus far. Consoles are becoming more like computers, not the other way around. Computers aren't being stripped down to bare essentials to run a game more cheaply. Consoles are becoming more elaborate and supporting computer-based activities right out of the box. Even now, the Ps3 is basically a heartbeat away from being a full fledged computer. It has plug-n-play USB ports, a separate, replaceable hard drive, a built-in web browser, etc.

Too true. Youre right, I should make a caveat...

That experience as of now cannot be recreated on consoles.

Two things i noticed my second playthrough I didn't notice the first time

when you take back the white house and launch the flares, there's green smoke everywhere showing the whole city was taken back. Second, when you save Price from the gulag Soap gives him the handgun back from the end of the COD4.

You do it on Vet? That shit's SO much easier than cod 4. I guess that's a good thing; no more barrages of grenades and insane respawns, but shit, I think I did it in like 7 hours or so.

Crazy knife throw wins game.

This is why all console games should support youtube uploads. Say after the match it would ask you if you would like to save the match to the hard drive and later you can edit and upload it from the PS3/Xbox.

Only 2 games do this that I know of, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars and the upcoming Peggle and Peggle nights for the PS3

All games should have this feature :pctoss

2FoBAD084-w

[sabar]

The PC version being gutted is pretty retarded, but not as retarded as the $60 price point for the game. Spec-ops is great. Campaign experience is great, story not-as-great. Multiplayer maps seem to be camp-fests.

Good rental, good piracy candidate. No point in paying $60 for the PC version unless you hate value. Plus there's a ton of pirated MW2 releases with hacked LAN support.

:lol @ asking $60.00 for 17 gigabytes of digital data.

Overall, its worth a play for the campaign and spec ops missions. Brings nothing new to multiplayer and is a downgrade for the PC. The maps have a lot of potential, but there is just too much open camping sniper fire. MW1 had a good mix of close-quarters fighting in the maps that these lack.

I refuse to buy the game on the price point alone. The $5 rental pretty much got me through all the new material anyways.

[Shaolin-Style]

I've had some great knife throw kills of my own and tried to figure out how to hook my 360 into a capture card to record some of my gameplay. I had a lucky knife throw on the terminal similar to that video but it's only gotta be imprinted in about 9 or 10 guys memories.

I wish they'd let you save replays of the final kill at the very least to your hd.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

thats ones of the craziest kills ive seen

Every single multiplayer game, especially these types, should have the option. All their PC version/ports do, I guarantee it.

i remember the ps3 technically has this function except its the devs responsibility to implement it but i forget

IW made it a point to not have recording in the PC version (which is very common for online FPS games), what makes you think they ever would have it on the console?

Good luck finding someone though.

LOL who plays this on the ps3? :lol

I do.. runs better then the 360 version.. better version if you like the PS3 controller (which I have to say I don't).

Best class I set up so far was today. Marathon, Lightfoot, and commando... Went 3 games saying I wouldn't fire a shot.. ended up top on my team with 21 stabs and 16 deaths.. Nothing pisses people off more then stabs.. after 3 games they decided to try and I pulled the guns out and clocked their asses.

do you use the tac knife?

[ynh]

Tactical knife is when you throw it, correct? If so, no. I want to get good at though.. My problem is that when I have that set I will think I have someone around the corner coming and pull it out, only to find out there the isn't anyone. Then I spend the next min running around still holding the button in because I'm too lazy (er my video game character is too lazy) to just throw it into the ground and pick it up. After about 2 mins of walking really slow and not seeing anyone I'll throw it in the ground by me. Then of course as I go to pick it up.. up comes someone and shoots my ass.

I was just swipping people. The best level to do this on is Wasteland (the open field one). Reason being is you have a bunch of snipers.. and well snipers are the easiest to knife cause everyone wants to be a sniper but hardly anyone is that good at it.. so they will sit there for 5 seconds trying to line you up when it only takes you 2 seconds to run up at them (running and ducking so they have no chance to line you up) and then stabbing them.

Also this makes for the best level cause everyone gets a big chubby for the little cross shaped bunker. So when you spawn just run around the bush (have light foot or it will take forever) and then go to there side and stab them from behind. I got 4 out of 5 guys in like 10 seconds doing this (one finally saw me). That level has quickly become one of my fav levels after being the one I hated the most.

The Jav is awesome.. just got it and have been trying to use it.. I get shot all the time trying to though cause it takes quite a while to lock on.

the throwing knife is the knife you throw, the tac knife is a pistol attachment that speeds up your melee time, also if you accidentally pull out the throwing knife just hit the button you use to switch from primary to secondary weapons, that puts your knife away

[resistanze]

Can't wait until I unlock the M16A4.

[ynh]

Ah.. then no.. I actually didn't know that was there untill yesterday.

[Trainwreck2100]

they brought back hardcore headquarters, my pistol doesn't suck anymore

[jman3000]

Fuck it. Amazon had a deal too good to pass up. Buy MW2 edition elite and get L4D2 for free... all for the grand total of 399.

I will miss my 20 gigs of awesomeness.

[Trainwreck2100]

I just won a ffa with my fucking knife, i used my gun twice. JT was there, but he backed out before i ended it

[resistanze]

Damn, that chopper gunner is DIRTY. I got it from a care package, and I mowed down 13 people with it.

Update: Still haven't played it.

[The Gemini Method]

Oh so that's the Javelin glitch! Some guy we were playing TD against was running around and doing that glitch and while it isn't really fruitful, it is damn annoying.

[Shaolin-Style]

I saw that in action like a week ago. I just thought some guy was real quick before dying to pop off a missile or something lol.

And while the riot shield loves killing my k/d ratio, I get so much hate mail for it. I love that blast shield so even when I get stickied or noobtubed I don't die.

[balli]

Update: Still haven't played it.
Fuck mw2. I haven't played for a while. Doubt I ever get into it. It's fucking awful. They took all the good gameplay elements from CoD4 and utterly destroyed them in the name of adding a bunch of worthless and unnecessary perks. It's a completely different game and it fucking sucks. I hate it.

Hope BFBC2 is going to be good, cause it looks like I'm done with the Call of Duty franchise.

[Heath Ledger]

Im playing the beta of Mag and BFBC2, Mag is need I say hectic? 128 players in a game is just mad. Graphics are subpar for next gen but they probably had to dumb them down to accomodate all of the action on screen at once.

BFBC2 is going to be a hit, a very good game i just wish I had more than one map to play. It's nothing at all like COD

[Thunder Dan]

has anyone beat the special ops levels of when there are the juggernauts and you have to get the intel and reach the safe point? and the one in the snowy setting where you are a stealth sniper on Hardened? If so, post some tips. I've spent like 10 hours of my life on that shit and I can't beat either of them. It's so frustrating. On the juggarnauts one I sit in the plane and snipe every ememy but when I'm on the ground those fuckers just come and kill me because I have to reload my sniper rifle because its the only gun that kills those things

[DisAsTerBot]

ive done the sniper one on vet. the only "oohhh" moment i had that eventually led to me beating it was when the three gaurds are walking by with a couple of dogs. As they go by and around the bend you take out the last guy who's kind of straggling behind. then run up and take em out from behind. after that it's pretty much just don't be seen

[Duff McCartney]

Been playing this game...it's really fun. I haven't played the single player too much..but the parts I have played are damn hard.

I love the M16A4...it's probably the best weapon. The attachment that is totally worthless is the thermal scope. It's so hard to kill anyone with that shit.

Duff McCartney is my name on XBL if anyone wants to add me.

oh ok, I'll try that. That is where I always get tied up because there is like 5 of them and they split up 3 and 2 and you can't kill them all before they notice every one

The jury's still out for me. I wasn't too thrilled my first week playing it, but I've started to warm up recently. The Litmus test will be if I'm still playing this game by the time I reach level 70.

[The Gemini Method]

I'm closing on lvl 70 and I'm still enjoying the game due to the fact that I get to play the game with alot of childhood buddies so the humor lightens the game. I've been more reserved to just have fun with this one because, well, it is a fucking videogame. I don't expect for it to alter the way I approach things just allow me a few hour's worth of escapism. I expect to keep playing it until the next one comes out or Red Dead Redemption drops, or I pick up Assasins Creed 2...

[Duff McCartney]

I've noticed alot of people using that Javelin glitch. What a bullshit move. It's funny sometimes but still stupid. It's only worth it I guess if you have like 3 guys around you..other than that...pointless.

I have alot of fun playing the game. I'm almost to level 70. I'm at 55 right now. Good times.

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, the glitch got really annoying last night when we were playing with this one guy who kept doing it and even on our team its annoying because it screws up your own points when you're trying to take out someone and the choas created by the javelin gets you shot or blown up because you can't tell where the fuck is the enemies' cohort in the confusion.

[TwAnKiEs]

Blast shields my friends... blast shields (until a patch comes out)

[21_Blessings]

Fuck Akimbo 1887s.

[IronMexican]

Is there still a lot of camping on this game? I am kind of seeing no point in buying an unmodded, unbanned 360. I hardly play online. I might just wait till Madden 11 to get a new one.

[TwAnKiEs]

Fuck Akimbo 1887s.

Amen! The reach on that damn gun is crazy! :makemyday

Well, they're mass banning people for using it now:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/12/microsoft-difference-between-cheat-exploit-none-banned.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

Banning people because IW can't patch their game fast enough.

[resistanze]

Fuck Akimbo 1887s.
:lmao

So fucking accurate.

[The Gemini Method]

With a range of a .50 Cal...those 1887's are a joke and make the game less enjoyable when they're accurate while running akimbo. If someone's running the dual 1887's, I'm running the Javelina Glitcha ahaha.

People use that shit with Marathon, Stopping Power and Steady Aim. It's ridiculous, I hope they nerf that shit with a patch.

[Trainwreck2100]

I fucking love the 1887's, but i don't akimbo cause it's too easy.

[The Gemini Method]

I've been pwning cats who run the dual 1887's with the Javelin. If you're going to take me out, I'm going to take you out with me and probably the guy following behind you...and the next guy, too.

[Duff McCartney]

I don't know if those 1887s are the shotguns but if they are I agree. I know it is a video game and not supposed to be entirely life like. But getting taken out from across the level by someone shooting you with a shotgun is bullshit. They aren't that accurate at all in real life..it's fucked up that they do that in the game. Hell with an M16A4 with a scope it's not that easy to kill someone from across the level...but with the shotguns it's like no problem.

[ynh]

If you play on the 360. They are banning people from live right now doing that glitch, PS3 said they would not though.

I'm not saying that you are wrong because I'm not up to date with this and wouldn't know if they were or weren't.. But how can they ban people for using it? It's nothing against the user agreement.. you are not modding anything. This far less worse then when people were glitching under levels in World at War.

Far as the shottys all of them are quite powerfull.. as I said before I run with marathon, light weight, commando and the 2nd shotgun, which is an auto. I typically get about 25-32 kills a match on TDM.. (I also die about 15-17 times).. but it is not that bad.. I can't imagin anyone that has faced a mp40 in WaW calling the shotties cheap.

I also never understood why people purposefully want to make the game harder then it is.. It's like when people bitch about people using the MP40 or the M16 (COD4)... Why wouldn't I want to use the best gun? I'm trying to win right? If I'm having fun and winning then I don't see anything wrong with using a weapon that the programers made a better gun for the way I play... It just seems like if you aren't playing the way someone else is they bitch. Just recently I got yelled at for running around too much... RUNNING around too much!!! Seriously.. so you can't stay in one place and you can't run around.. I mean seriously.. I tell these people I spent 60 damn bucks on this thing.. If I want to spend every match playing the terminator song with my guns I will do that.. If I want to spend each match trying to see how many times I can kill myself I will.. or if I want to set up a race with a friend and see who can crawl the fastest to the other side of the map I will.. People bitch when they lose and you don't play the game how they want.. it's stupid.

[IronMexican]

I am pretty sure it's only suspensions, not perma bans.

[ynh]

That sounds more believable.

[Duff McCartney]

I think some people take games like this a bit too serious. I admit I'm annoyed sometimes when we're getting our asses handed too us on Domination. I don't care if we lose but losing 200 to like 75 is a joke. I think I just get annoyed in domination because sometimes you come across a group that just wants to kill each other even though it's not deathmatch, instead of taking objectives.

[leemajors]

Modern Warfare 2 update 1.05 has gone out for the PS3, but everyone will have to wait for patch 1.06 to fix the infamous Javelin glitch. Let's hope Sony approves it fast, since they seem reluctant to police the cheaters.

Robert Bowling, the Infinity Ward community manager, tweeted that 1.05 fixed some matchmaking issues. Update 1.06 is "still coming down the pipeline," he says. It'll clean up the Javelin exploit, and also fix areas where players could get stuck in world geometry, such as on the rocks Afghanistan.

My guess is 1.06 will be delivered ASAP but there's no word on when that'll be, specifically.

[Heath Ledger]

Microsoft playing god with this glitch is bullshit, its a third party developer/company, if it was a microsoft studios game id saw whatever its there game but how the fuck can those fucktards punish users for using a flaw that was released in a game.



Doesnt matter first of the year all of my video game shit is either getting sold or put on mothballs.

[Heath Ledger]

Microsoft approved the flawed game in the first place for them to enforce any kind of ban is fucking ludicrous

[Shaolin-Style]

They should give a warning first, but honestly people know it's not how you should be using a javelin.

[ynh]

That always happens in CTF.:rolleyes

[TwAnKiEs]

Correct it's a temp ban of live usage. Microsoft has the ability to ban anyone exploiting a 360 game glitch if they choose to.

I welcome this ban hammer.... I don't pay so much a year to see people bitch out and cheat.... too bad they cant play straight up :makemyday

[balli]

I played for a couple hours earlier tonight.

Literally every single game I got in was full of cheaters. I watched a dude with a riot shield run around in 3 or 4 circles, chasing a javelin glitcher... just to blow themselves up.

Thought FFA might be better than TDM, only to deal with fucking losers using the tactical insertion exploit in every single game. That's not even a glitch, just dumbass fucking design by IW.

I got got from across the map by the Akimbo 87s.

This game is so fucking broken it isn't even funny. Literally, I couldn't get in a match where that wasn't full of blatant and stupid bullshit. It's unplayable at this point. I went back to cod4 for awhile and had a great time. Hopefully more people do the same.

[z0sa]

it's a sad situation, because at its core I find the game to be visually stunning, entertaining and well balanced. When glitching causes huge problems though, you must fault the dev team for rushing things.

[Shaolin-Style]

The other day I went into two different FFA rooms where two nukes went off from the tact insertion exploiting.

It's running pretty rampant now. I'd take a javelin glitcher anytime over that nonsense.

another abuse of party chat, its cheats like that that made them restrict it tbegin with. I ran into some french fuckers trying to pull that shit in merc team deathmatch, luckily i offed the guy before he could get to the nuke

[balli]

And really, that tac insert BS isn't a technical glitch. It's just dumbass design by IW. I mean, how are they going to fix it? Patch a whole perk right out of the game?

The perk itself might be a cool idea, but did IW really expect people would act honorably if they found a way to exploit it? On XBL? A pipe dream.

Like many of the new perks/etc I find myself questioning why on earth IW put such a premium on truly augmented gameplay. In addition to the game just not playing very smoothly, they opened up all sorts of new avenues for cheaters and dumbasses to get their kicks; not all of which are related to technical glitches.

I agree. It's a shame. Might have been an awesome game had IW pulled their heads out of their asses.

[TwAnKiEs]

TBH I really do not see that many problems in this game when I am playing. I do play late night when the tweens go to sleep, but the "rape sticks" do get annoying sometimes... the only thing I hate is when i am up against another and I knife just a tad b4 the other guy, he ends up knifing me... even if I am really up close... I want to knife my tv sometimes, lol

[DisAsTerBot]

TBH I really do not see that many problems in this game when I am playing.

ditto.

the javelin can be annoying but in my experience it's blown me up twice maybe.

[Heath Ledger]

What is the deal with tactical insertion? HOw are they exploiting it?

[The Gemini Method]

The Javelin is manageble...

My question is: There was a conversation that came up regarding the gameplay itself. Last night, for instance, I had a few matches where I would be shooting a guy pointblank (with his back turned to me) for almost a whole clip on say, the SCAR-h, and he would be able to turn around and shoot me dead. I've seen it happen way too much on MW2 and it did not happen in MW. I could be wrong, but this is as frustrating as someone who decides to do glitches like the Javelin cheat.

[Trainwreck2100]

In a ffa match 2 guys are finding a corner to hide in and using tactical insert to spawn next to each other. 1 guy kills the other one 25 straight times to get the nuke. They have to be in Party chat cause there is no other way they can find each other

Its best to look at the killcam when that happens it sounds like a connection issue

[Heath Ledger]

Yeah but 25 times without someone running into them and killing them is extremely rare.

[balli]

Yeah but 25 times without someone running into them and killing them is extremely rare.
I made a living for a little bit just camping/sniping dude's spawns over and over again. With headphones, you can hear the shit no matter how hidden they are.

But shit, that's not COD.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yeah but 25 times without someone running into them and killing them is extremely rare.

wasteland and derailed have a shit ton of corners you can hide in FFA. And they don't have to get to 25;11 gets you the chopper gunner so I'd say 15 killstreak + chopper gunner=game over

[Shaolin-Style]

Yeah but 25 times without someone running into them and killing them is extremely rare.

It's not hard, all you do is find a spot where there is no spawn and it's pretty out of the way and drop your tacts.

Most people don't use sit rep but I think it's going to be vital against the exploiters in ffa.

The only way I could see them fixing it is placing a limit to the number of times you can spawn on your tactical insertion or limiting how close one tactical insertion can be in relation to an enemies.

Limiting the number of spawns to say 3 to your tactical insertion would probably do the trick, although it'd be a crappy nerf especially when you could destroy it to begin with.

[21_Blessings]

ditto.

the javelin can be annoying but in my experience it's blown me up twice maybe.

What game are you playing?

Some 12 year old went 75 and 53 on Terminal the other day using nothing but the Javelin glitch. I shoot the guy from long distance and I die instantly losing my killstreak. It's stupid.

Not touching this broken game until it's patched.

[IronMexican]

This game sounds like hot garbage. The only thing I miss about XBL is Madden. I'm gonna be so rusty when I get a new 360 again.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

haven't played any other game time then MTD cause none of my friends play lol kinda sucks but its still pretty fun
