Mordern Warfare 2?

[chesee king]

I've heard about this game being "super cool","down right awesome",and "the best war game ever".I'm thinking about getting it,but want to get your opinion.

Also,tango down!

[Rickwakefan123]

Very overrated, but still fun. Spec Ops is awesome, Single Player is alright, Multiplayer is awesome too! Also, if you dont have online, they made the offline splitscreen just the same as online, unlocks and all.

[Madous]

The campaign is a bit short. On the 2nd hardest difficulty it took me only about 7 hours to beat doing a blind run, with many deaths.

Multiplayer on the other hand? I'm 15 hours in, and I'm still really low rank. Its fun, but frustrating at times. If you don't have Live, I wouldn't recommend getting it. If you do and you have friends that play, there's no reason not to pick it up.

So if you don't have live it's only a 6/10 ,but with live 8/10?

Giving it scores like that is kind of meaningless. It depends on what you're looking for. MW2 is like Halo, it features a solid campaign, enjoyable and exciting from start to finish. But, while the campaign is good, the multiplayer is the major draw. If you are looking for a solid single player shooter, Modern Warfare 2 is fantastic, and you probably won't be dissapointed, but the multiplayer does extend the longevity of the title exponentially.

[Andre]

I would say that Modern Warfare 2 has a fantastic campaign, but I would certainly not buy the game just for the single player. You'll get more for your money out of something like Fallout 3, for a single player experience. But MW2 has a truly addictive multiplayer, with the reason being that the ranks and upgrades keep you going back for more.

[ksimp23]

MW2 has a great campaign, but finishing it in just 6 hours on Hardened difficulty did leave me a bit disappointed. I do think that it is easily the best campaign out of all the COD games so far, since it fixes all of the old annoying problems, but it still sticks to the same gameplay formula. At least the minor gameplay additions and the over the top nature of what happens in the story is a nice change.

Spec Ops is really fun but for me was very short lived. Alot of the levels are ripped straight from the campaign as well which I further made me tired of it. I dunno, some Spec Ops levels were really enjoyable, others were hit or miss.

Multiplayer of course is the major draw, and can be an incredible amount of fun if not taken seriously. To me the game is very unbalanced though. Guns are over-powered, over-accurate and the kill-streak rewards are very annoying at times. Plus camping will drive me insane.

Overall, despite all my negative comments, great game. Very over-rated though.

[Doorstop]

Yeah, the campaign was great, but it definately won't entertain you for long.

The draw of multiplayer is the unlocks system. You're always doing challenges and unlocking new weapons/attachments, so it keeps you playing.

I see what you mean I played over my friends house today.Quick question though?Can you play co-op online?

[Doorstop]

The campaign doesn't have co-op, but if you mean the Spec-Ops missions, I'm pretty sure yes.

[chesee king]

The campaign doesn't have co-op, but if you mean the Spec-Ops missions, I'm pretty sure yes.

You get new weapons by playing online right?

[mr.mumbo]

The campaign was really amazing, but I would still just rent it if you are not a huge online player.

[DarthConker]

You get new weapons by playing online right?
Yep. They also made it so you can unlock new weapons and level up in splitscreen offline seperately from online as well.

[chesee king]

So do you have to do well, or do you always get Exp.?

[Madous]

So do you have to do well, or do you always get Exp.?
Assist = EXP
Kill = EXP
Do something objective related = EXP

You get EXP for pretty much anything you do right. The better you do, the more EXP you get overall with a larger Match Bonus at the end.

[Hey, I'm Grump]

Yes, yes, oh god YES

[Lakitu]

I'm addicted.

So when you get new titles you can get more weapons and unlock more maps and battle options?Also can you upgrade the weapons?

[cooperace27]

So when you get new titles you can get more weapons and unlock more maps and battle options?Also can you upgrade the weapons?

Okay hold on.

You never unlock anymore maps. You unlock all game types after you hit something like level 9 (there are 70 levels by the way). You earn titles and emblems by doing certain things, like getting a "payback" kill with a throwing knife, or getting lots of kills with certain types of killstreaks.

Yes the weapons are upgradable. Because I'm bored, here you go:

Assualt Rifle Upgrades:
10 kills: Grenade Launcher attachment
20 Grenade Launcher Kills: Shotgun attachment
25 kills: Red Dot Sight
60 kills with Red Dot Sight: Holographic Sight
75 kills: Silencer
15 kills with silencer: Heart Beat Sensor
150 kills: ACOG sights
20 ACOG sight kills: Thermal Sights
300 kills: FMJ
40 FMJ penetration kills: Extended mags

This is just for assault rifles. You earn attachments for each of the assualt rifles, so they don't transfer (Ex: FAMAS attachments will not transfer over to SCAR, you must earn each attachment for each weapon).

I won't do the SMG list or the LMG list because I don't use them at all. Or the Sniper list because I can't remember it specifically.

[chesee king]

Wow,I got a lot of playing to do.Overall this game sound pretty sweet if you have friends to play with and/or online, I think I will enjoy this game.

[Icy Guy]

This should help. (http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_weapons_and_attachments_in_Call_of_Duty:_M odern_Warfare_2) :)

chesee king, you'll definitely enjoy it if you have online. Although there are some problems you'll have to deal with - parties occasionally dropping people, getting dropped if the party leader doesn't back out first, people cheesing with the Model 1887 shotguns, getting wrecked in Search & Destroy if you don't have Ninja, people being overly preoccupied with getting killstreaks, and the occasional mod - the game's qualities far outshine its problems. Prestige mode (erase your challenge/weapon progress in exchange for a new rank, title, and emblem) is actually worth it this time around, as it unlocks new challenges and you get a new Create-a-Class slot each time you reach an odd-numbered Prestige.

I've logged nearly 8 days' worth of game time, and I keep coming back for more.

[Andre]

Also, Icy... were you playing a game a few days ago in Team Deathmatch with CPMaverick? I saw my brother playing, and I thought I saw your gamertag. If so, that would be an unbelievable and awesome coincidence. (Then again, I've also run into greatman playing Halo 3.)

[Icy Guy]

That was no coincidence: I joined a couple games in progress, hoping to surprise you, but then I realized someone else was probably playing because you didn't say "hi." ;) I should've just screamed "ANDRE!!" since he didn't have the mic plugged in (no mic = voice through speakers).

[chesee king]

I got It last night and it rocks!Should I start playing online or go ahead and do campaign?

[Icy Guy]

Do campaign first. It'll give you a feel for the game's shooting mechanics and graphics style so you'll know what to do if you think you see an enemy lying in wait. A word of caution: the "snap-to" auto-aim that occurs when you aim down the sights isn't in multiplayer, so you may want to get used to manually aiming at your targets before aiming down the sights as opposed to letting the auto-aim do the work.

I can't get very many kills online because of the lack of a red dot scope.I could snipe,but I hate sniping.
p.s. what perks do you recommend?

You're just realizing this now? :p

Kills with the M203/Grenade Launcher attachment count towards your kills for that weapon and thus help you get the RDS, although you may get an earful from your victims in the post-game lobby. ;) As for Perks, I recommend the following:

-Perk 1: Sleight of Hand or Scavenger (lvl 13)
-Perk 2: Stopping Power or Cold-Blooded (lvl 25)
-Perk 3: Commando, Steady Aim, or Ninja (lvl 29) (stay away from Scrambler)

[Andre]

I'm partial Bling Pro.

[Doorstop]

I use Marathon, and now I can't use anything else without feeling like a slug.

It's like an addiction.

[Ice Lightning]

I use Marathon, and now I can't use anything else without feeling like a slug.

It's like an addiction.

Oh God I was like that when I first got the game, terrible perk for that. Luckily I changed it out pretty soon to Scavenger because I kept running out of ammo. I honestly don't get that one thing about the game, how to conserve ammo. You can use Scavenger taking up a perk, or if you die lots you won't need it, or get the extra mags attachment taking up that spot, or use One Man Army to change weapon class before you die, so if you didn't have either of these how are you ever meant to get up any sort of killstreak? At one point I ran out of ammo in both weapons and could do nothing except wait to die.

It was back when I first started so I probably wasn't brilliant at the game, and have never since had the problem because I've always had Scavenger Pro on, but it seems you have to take something up with an ammo attachment.

Anyway that and the Heartbeat Sensor. Another annoyingly addictive attachment, spent more time looking at the small radar there than the screen. Ended up dying more often in the end because I would get shot from someone far away.

[chesee king]

Marathon is very useful.
I have Marathon, and the one that helps your aim(steady hand?)I forget.I can't think of a last one.

[HUMANZ]

There is no best perk. It all depends on the gun your using and what game type your playing. On game types like free-for-all I like to use a SCAR with a silencer. With the perks Scavenger pro, Stopping power pro, and Ninja pro. I like to patrol a certain area and put claymores around my flanks.

This strategy wouldn't work on a game type like hardcore S&D though. Scavenger would be a waste of a perk because there is no re-spawning and unless you're spraying like a madman then there would be no need to have that much ammo. Stopping power is useless because almost all the guns kill with one shot to anywhere on the body on hardcore. Ninja is a good perk for any gametype really, and I must say it is really effective on S&D.

I'll just give you some good all around tips so you can play better. Play on a sensitivity that is comfortable for you, don't let people tell you that the only way to be good is to play on 10 sensitivity and that your a nub if you play on 2. Personally I play on 3 or 4, but everybody is different.

Don't be ashamed to defend. I'm sure people will complain that your a camper n00b but their is a difference between defending and camping. Campers just sit in one place the entire game and wait in dark corners. Defense is hanging back and making sure a flag doesn't get stolen.

When in doubt use assault rifles. All the guns have their pro's and con's, but in my opinion the best all around guns would have to be the assault rifles.

If you can't get many kills it might be a good idea to use the lower killstreaks. You aren't much help to your team if you have harrier, chopper, and nuke as your killstreaks, but you can't come close to getting enough kills. I would go as far to say that UAV is better than a harrier, but it all depends on your team really.

You don't come across as many campers as people say, trust me. If you camp, they'll flush you out one way or another. Whether it be grenades, shotguns, or shooting you through the wall with gun attachments, it isn't easy camping.

[xxjoesusxx]

Camping. I don't find anything about camping to really be wrong like a bunch of butthurt gamers do, but for future reference, that is what your tactic is commonly called.

[ksimp23]

[QUOTE=greatman3388;738501 it isn't easy camping.[/QUOTE]

That is complete crap. I find it extremely easy to camp. I know their really isn't anything wrong with it, it is just another tactic, but campers piss me off to no end. Some games can become soooo bad just from every player on the map not moving at all. Tis why I prefer Halo over COD really. Campers never usually prosper on Halo.

I've never used Scavenger, so I'm not sure how it works, but you can pick up dead enemies weapons...

Though, my strategy consists of running around the map at high speeds killing anyone I come across, so I usually have a high number of kills with my high number of deathes, effectively making me useless in Team matches. :X

Scavanger lets you pick up ammo off dead bodies, very usefull if you use the SCAR because it blows through ammo like a fat kid through food at old country buffet.

But do you have to stop and pick it up, or is it automatic? Because I don't see the difference than between picking up another gun.

[DarthConker]

But do you have to stop and pick it up, or is it automatic? Because I don't see the difference than between picking up another gun.
I think a little blue box appears over enemies' dead bodies and you have to stop and pick it up. But it refills your ammo similar to the ammo crates in Spec-Ops and the campaign.

[Ice Lightning]

But do you have to stop and pick it up, or is it automatic? Because I don't see the difference than between picking up another gun.
A small blue bag appears over any dead person, team mate or enemy, just run over it and your ammo for both weapons and grenades gets refilled. Don't need to stop or anything.

Also if I tried to organise one would anyone be up for a big RWP game match? Friday night or something? Sure there's got to be quite a few people with the game here, it iss just a little bit popular afterall.

[Andre]

Would anybody want to play sometime today?

[DarthConker]

I prefer to play at night. My connection is utter shit in the daytime, leading to my epic suckage at anytime except night.

Andre, if you catch me on, feel free to toss me a game invite. I'm a fan of Hardcore Team Deathmatch as of recently, but I'll play pretty much anything as long as it isn't Search.

Stay inside. Best tip in avoiding the Predator Missiles. That or just deal with them.

The heartbeat sensor is cool and pretty useful, but you'll eventually get too used to it. When you stop using it, you'll probably find yourself looking down, thinking it's there. Also, it is a pretty big distractor. I find the ACOG scope and Supressor my favorites, though I tend to use the FMJ on the handguns, and the Extended Mags or FMJ on my SMGs. It's all about preference really.

I see what you mean.It helps but if you look down at it someone comes and kills you.I really don't need it,I like to seek out snipers and hide on rooftops and other hidey holes.I like to wait for for others to pass by,then I usually gun them down or follow them and give them a knife to the head.
Any guns you would suggest for the method?

If you're waiting for people to pass by, (what n00bs call camping) it sounds like a shotgun would make a good secondary. Primary is up to, though I'm a fan of the M4 as a lower level and M16 when I'm at least level 40.

I don't know why people hate camping.
1)You stay alive longer.
2)You get a good amount of kills.
3)You can kill people that would normaly kill you in 3 seconds.

Because it's a tactic that requires absolutely no skill, just hiding in a corner until someone runs past isn't how the game is meant to be played. Sure it can be argued it's a legitimate tactic and some places are designed for it, but to sit in the same spot for the entire match almost is the cheapest tactic in the game. They're meant to be used sporadically for cover, not camp an entire game in one.

It's just annoying to be playing properly then get killed from someone camping in a corner. It's not fun to be killed that way, and it's not fun to kill that way because you spend most of the game doing nothing at all. And since the sole purpose of games always has been fun, it's the most useless thing to do in the game.

As for all your reasons, if you learn to play properly all those are possible without needing to camp. The reason they would normally kill you in 3 seconds is because they actually have skill. If you tried it yourself, you would get experience doing it, get better, and actually be able to play the game as well.

But as it is campers are the worst thing about the game and most people get pissed off at them because they're bloody annoying. It just ruins the fun. If I end up in any game where there's tonnes of people camping I just quit out because it's not fun. I'd much rather play with someone who actually does something even if they're bad at the game, at least they're trying.

[DarthConker]

Just hiding in a corner until someone runs past isn't how the game is meant to be played.
I'm pretty sure you can play the game amyway you want. It's not like the manual says: "DO NOT CAMP!" It sounds like you're a very frequent camping victim.

Use UAV or heartbeat. Personally, I don't find camping fun, but usually campers are an easy kill for me.

Yeah after a while you start to learn where they hide so it's not so much of a problem, it's normally always the same few spots over again. You do get the odd persistent little bugger though ;)

I still do very good at the game, but camping is definitely something that breaks the pace. I don't usually get killed by campers, but when I do it is largely frustrating. I always camp myself, just to show people how easy it is, and I usually end up always getting my emergency airdrop and pretty much killing everyone with my 4 care packages.

Sure it can be argued it's a legitimate tactic and some places are designed for it, but to sit in the same spot for the entire match almost is the cheapest tactic in the game. They're meant to be used sporadically for cover, not camp an entire game in one.

It's just annoying to be playing properly then get killed from someone camping in a corner. It's not fun to be killed that way, and it's not fun to kill that way because you spend most of the game doing nothing at all. And since the sole purpose of games always has been fun, it's the most useless thing to do in the game.

As for all your reasons, if you learn to play properly all those are possible without needing to camp. The reason they would normally kill you in 3 seconds is because they actually have skill. If you tried it yourself, you would get experience doing it, get better, and actually be able to play the game as well.

But as it is campers are the worst thing about the game and most people get pissed off at them because they're bloody annoying. It just ruins the fun. If I end up in any game where there's tonnes of people camping I just quit out because it's not fun. I'd much rather play with someone who actually does something even if they're bad at the game, at least they're trying.

So you're saying that people who snipe aren't having fun killing people not even paying attention to them?:-/

I like to try to camp occasionally but my style is rushing. I don't get high killstreaks and good k/d ratios. I get lots of kills but risk many deaths. I use Scar.

Most of my friends play this mostly, I don't as much. I'm the only non-prestige person. If I wanted to I would, but not that determined.

About camping, if you got the right class you can pull it off. But the best counter is killcam, and the best counter to that is to move around camping. So when the person comes back for revenge you can get where they're aren't suspecting. But like I said I don't camp much.

Camping isn't a big deal, it's just shotguns and noob-tubes. Kill streaks are also over-powered like chopper gunner and ac-130. If I were to play this game more often and seriously those would piss me off.

The gunners are cheap as hell.Although,if you can get inside they're not that bad.Also I find that sometimes a dude can knife me right after I clearly walk up to him and knife him first, but somehow miss.This happen to anyone else?

Mines like 1.12 right now, but it seems to go from 1 - 1.20 very randomly.

Yeah. I get that too. It has to do mostly with connections, but it's happened to me a few times with guys who have equal connections as me.

This game is better than Generic FPS, Generic FPS 2, Generic FPS 3, Generic FPS 4: Modern Warfare, and Generic FPS: World at War!

And you sound more intelligent than other generic, 'I don't play FPS' because I think it makes me 'different'' gamers.

We were having a perfectly normal discussion before you came in and decided to tell us about how much you hate the franchise. You're just begging to start a flame war, aren't you?

Leave the thread.

Lolwut?

I like FPS's, it's just CoD is too generic for my liking.

Expressing opinions, when did it become shunned upon?

What FPS do you like?

What FPS do you like?

Halo and Perfect Dark.

I like 'em because they're not as real. I like games that escape reality.

[BK3fan]

I feel the same way BanjoBoy123. I think what I dislike about this series is how overrated it is. I wouldn't say it's a bad game, but it's not amazing. Nazi Zombies was awesome for a while, I must admit.

[DarthConker]

Honestly, those two franchises aren't that different from CoD, so I don't see what the problem is you have with it.

Halo takes place in space, shooting aliens. Perfect Dark is like a secret agent game, shooting enemy spies and shit like that.

CoD is a war. Shooting soldiers. It's kind of boring, and the whole atmosphere is bland and there is a severe lack of color. Everything's grey-ish something.

At least MW2 was a major step forward in that department. Was easily the biggest improvement to the campaign for me.

Are you saying Halo and Perfect Dark are the only games that involve shooting aliens? Have you played any other shooters with aliens?

Call of Duty might not be the only game based on WWII/Other Wars, but it's the fact that it does it well that stands out. Halo and Perfect Dark stand out because they do what they do well, and so does CoD.

Modern Warfare 2 did a pretty good job I think of bringing some more colour to the game. The whole atmosphere being bland is pretty opinionated, because I personally thought the characters and plot were very well done (even if they made no sense).

I don't know the name, but it's a salt quarry. It's an okay map, I don't it as much as I hate Wasteland, however.

I remember seeing a guy trying to snipe on that salt quarry level.Stuck out like a*insert cliché*.

I don't know if it's just me or not, but I find it really hard to snipe in multiplayer. The only reason I try to snipe is to unlock Ghillie camo.
