Nope, the d-bag community was the main reason

Painkiller is very low on the list of reasons as to why I stopped playing MW2... can't say I've officially quit playing that game though. I'm just going to have a hard time getting back into it after a while, if I do get back into it. What mostly annoyed me about that game was getting knifed with commando, and plus the fact that everyone runs around like idiots, but then there's the people who hide behind stuff with barely even their head exposed. Blah, I'm glad I got Bad Company 2 now...

No. As much as I disliked some of the perks/death streaks/kill streaks and how they were exploited, the only reason I stopped playing MW2 was because I got bored of it.

MW2 as a whole was pretty poor, as in, the bad points far out-weighed the good points.

If I remember correctly I put in just over 100 hours on the multiplayer, mainly because it was the only thing being played by everyone on my friends list, but I have to say that it was rarely enjoyable. Not because I was bad at it, I usually finished in the top 3 on any game, but because it was a ridiculous lagfest with too many and easily achieved killstreaks.

In truth the deathstreaks didn't bother me too much, let's face it, you had to be doing badly to trigger a deathstreak anyway.

Nope. I didn't care about Painkiller at all. I virtually never fought anyone who had painkiller's bonus. It runs out fast enough that it isn't a huge problem.

There are many reasons why I quit playing MW2, that was one of them.

But to be specific:

  • Painkiller and deathstreaks in general
  • All the new killstreaks
  • Noobtube/danger-close
  • Heartbeat sensors
  • BC2 came out
  • Terrible community (no teamwork, name calling, filled with pre-teens)
  • Overpriced dlc's (and how only 60% of the maps are new, shows how creative IW is...)
  • Bad maps
  • Camping
  • commando

Unfortunately I still play, but if I did have a reason to quit it would be the D-Bag community mentioned above. The only way I can play without ending up pissed off in the end is by muting everybody in the game...every time. Helps a lot.

Painkiller is annoying, but if everybody has painkiller active, then you or your team must be doing something right ;)

I just recently got back into this game, but I've been playing it religiously for about a week and a half now. painkiller doesn't really bother me. I think it's prevented me from getting 1 kill over the 20 hours I've played this week.

I never quit playing it. Why? Because I never bought it and I'm not planning to buy it either.

The lack of skill involved; four months into the year and I finally realised the amount of cheap tactics that made the game so accessible and exploitable. Not to mention the whiny community.

I still play it sometimes because a lot of my friends play it but the main reasons I play it less are the lack of skill needed (cheap perks, stupid no recoil guns) and commando. Commando has to be the most annoying thing I have ever seen in a shooter. I once got knifed through a wall with commando.

not really, the annoying was Commando perk with that special attachment for guns to knife faster, me and 3 guys once, got wasted by one guy with commando.

Second I think the new perks and killstreaks made the game unbalance.

This. And the ridiculous amount of xp which was just given away. MW2 felt too 'arcadey' in comparison to COD4. I found it fun for about a month and since then traded it in.

I know what you guys mean, commando is annoying too, especially when you shoot the guy first a couple of times then he knifes you.

I quit because I bought Killzone 2. Blows mw2 out of the water imo.

Pretty much the same reason I quit too.

I stopped because it got boring. I move on to newer (or different) games pretty fast.
