Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer

There should be a total lack of music during realistic and other types of FPS other than menues and beginning/ends of missions

did you even watch the video balli posted

yep

what ty sound quality there is was absolutely ruined by the run of the mill bravado orchestration. thanks for nothing, hans

I'd prefer the solution where you turn the music off in some sort of sound options menu.

Realism != Fun

War sucks ass, that's why there's adrenaline pumping music, respawns, and guns/explosions that don't cause you to go deaf after a few hours of firing them.

Retracted.

[z0sa]

And you say CoD4 fans/Infinity Ward are butthurt. Wow. I've never seen someone critiquing demos recorded from a movie camera for "bad sound".

wtf? The point of the joke, which it clearly was, was that the ty sound quality might actually have been passable if there wasn't a ton of cinema-like orchestration occurring the entire time.

dude, i'm trying real hard not to insult or offend you since you unignored me. Gimme a in break already. My response did NOT deserve yours.

I guess I agree with this sentiment. Personally, I can't stand any sort of music when I'm playing. I'm listening intently for footsteps and enemy gunfire and even the lowest ambient music gets in the way of that.

and no one cares, but I've been playing a lot of 4 lately (after about 9 days PT of WaW, lol). the trailers and leaked footage got me excited about modern weaponry again. if you got it on 360 and play still add me z0sa.

Ah, I actually didn't know it was a joke. My bad.

Man, I really didn't even like 4 and I am starting to get a bit excited for this game.

[iggypop123]

is it wrong if the vid gave me and orgasm?

[Trainwreck2100]

new mp5 looks sweet

i'm curious if there will be any new (from 4) weapons or any type of experimental weapon. While no doubt the case is made that MW2 wants to be wholly realistic, I find it hard to believe you can have "contemporary" modern warfare without experimental weapons.

[Trainwreck2100]

i didn't recognize that first weapon he had

The case is made that MW2 wants to be authentic and entertaining, but not a sim; in their own words.

And there are a ton of new weapons. I'm pretty sure the gun in the vid was the Bushmaster ACR, which in the real world is just now being released for military application and public purchase.

would you find experimental weaponry to be authentic and entertaining?

[balli]

What do you even mean experimental weaponry? Completely designed, real-world guns that are currently in some sort of testing phase? Prototypes of guns that are 10 years away from production? Made up guns conceived by IW themselves? Laser rifles? I mean, what's an experimental gun? Guns either exist, or they don't. What IW doesn't need to do is start making up so they can bring us weaponry based on the idea of some obscure future technology.

we don't have to talk gunpowder and lead when talking experimental weaponry.

its just an idea. while nothing in your post says it straight out, you seem annoyed someone would even consider the idea - i mean, laser rifles? c'mon now, that's nowhere near being part of active military use. advances in technology over the enemy are the difference between victory and defeat through all of history, though. since we're talking 'modern warfare,' theoretical advances should be at least represented in some way IMO. Especially since they just sold me a $60 game 2 years ago with most of today's most popular weaponry. I don't want to pay $60 for an updated engine.

and why do you think you're some expert on what IW doesn't need to do? They can do whatever they wish. It'd be oversight to not even consider near-future advances in warfare.

[balli]

Zosa, I've seen the confirmed guns list and it has all kinds of weaponry, all sorts of it, from the 21st century. The TDI Kriss- a prototype, not on the market. The ACR- just now being released to the military. A ton of others. What is that if not a consideration of near-future advances in warfare?

GMAFB, you wanna shoot plasma or some lame ass ? Go play Halo.

I still don't know WTF you mean by experimental weaponry.

And lol at anybody who's followed the MW2 vids and es about paying $60 for an "updated engine" of a 2.5 year old cod4. Especially when that person happily threw down $60, a year ago, for the downgraded skin of the same engine.

oh cool. thanks for simply answering my question and not being a about it. Tool.

you always got something stuck up your ass?

Me either. Hence why I am curious to see what they implement, if anything. Don't try to comprehend things in a non-defensive, normal manner or anything.

Hey, I haven't been overplaying it day and night this entire time like you have. I moved on to greener pastures. 4 and even WaW don't do much for me anymore. What I need is some new blood, new ideas. Hopefully there's much more destructive environments, for instance. Or experimental weaponry. Or vehicles and/or larger, less symmetrical maps. Diversity, friend. And it still makes me LOL at you to see how mindlessly you have eaten every bit of info about MW2 while still preaching your "downgraded skin" talk about WaW. MW2 looks about 10% different than MW, discounting updated gfx which shouldn't even be factored in. No great leap forward that you have demanded time and time again from WaW, which in fact was a step forward for WW2 games in the same vein MW was for modern warfare games. Not original core concepts, but original for a WW2 game. And I like WW2 games.

I even told you before "you win" with the waw talk. Yet you persist. GFY, bro. I like the game more and think its better, you don't. Get along or don't go at all.

[z0sa]

but that one had NAZI ZOMBIES whoopdie ing do

4 nazi zombie maps to be exact, and nine new maps as opposed to 3 or 4 new MW maps you can't even filter out to play exclusively. I basically paid 10 bucks for maps I got to play 1-2% of the total time I played MW. They weren't even that good, nor are the rest of the original multiplayer maps except Crash which is a godly map.

thx I needed that.

I'm seriously considering updating the GFX card on my PC for MW2. I really want to participate in leagues again and be able to do all the little things like record/playback demos and save my best scores.

[z0sa]

For sho'. When mouse posted that topic about old games, a lot of my own quake/cs/original call of duty memories came rushing back to the surface - all played with mouse (the item, not the troll) and keyboard.
