How do you feel about being rewarded for dying in MW2?

How do you feel about being rewarded for dying in MW2?

Worst idea ever. 3x health for dying three times in a row? No thank you. I will stick to Arma 2.

rewarding someone for dying is like rewarding a kid for getting bad marks in school.

:?

Well this is new to me. You get rewarded for dying? Does that even make sense?

It doesn't.

its just for people who suck at the game so they can at least get a kill and not get pissed off and leave or something

People who are whining about it and saying they're not getting the game because of it were never getting it in the first place.

Its not 3x health, but its still the nubbest thing ever, and I was ok with martyrdom users (its easy to avoid them, just RUN, and avoid freshly killed bodies). I mean, if someone is going out of his way to kill you multiple times with some nub P90 + juggy combo, I can understand the ability to use his class (although I would prefer no deathstreaks at all of course), but a health boost? If that kid has juggernaut say hello to wildly unbalanced gameplay.

Then again...

On the other side of the argument you have the possibility of one team being really really good, with the deathstreaks option the other team has the ability to fight back and maybe make a close match, and with the extensive testing I imagine IW did, it seems the testers found no problems with it. The health boost is also temporary, so it could find use as an anti spawn camper measure, much like in other games which do the same thing but upon every death.

For the record, I'm mostly against it, but I'm holding my breath until I can experience it first hand.

i feel like this is more of an offset for getting spawn killed alot, like if one team is dominating and camping the spawns.

Not a good idea, but I hate playing MP against a bunch of noobs using the Juggernaut , just to last longer...

It's kind of like Martyrdom in CoD4. I played against this guy who would just walk around holding a stun grenade so when you killed him it would drop and then you'd be stuck in his martyrdom. That perk should not be available, and this new one sounds even worse. This game seems to be spoon feeding the casual gamers. Why should you be giving and advantage for being bad at a game? Take that away and actually force them to get better

What happens if it's just an option you can remove in MP?

Rewarding people who choose not to camp isn't a bad thing.

It's completely unnecessary. The game is extremely accessible and rewarding already. Look at the score multiplyers, the way it plasters the scores for everything right in one's face.

Here's another one : what if you got more XP for not getting the dying boost in a round? The skilled players would get rewarded more and the camper would still get less of a reward because in modes such as HQ because they aren't helping much...

It's evolution, baby!cheese_it

MizFitAwesome

Players earn tons of XP already. How about an XP penalty for every kill you get using a class that has that death streak selected? :)

I read that it was, and saw a screenshot actually, but perhaps I misinterpreted it. Anyways, that's a fair assessment. I just hate that the game masquerades as a realistic shooter when it is clearly not.

Just like it's publisher, this game reeks of twisted moralities. The may as well reward you for taunting or teabagging. And put in anti-mods also, so that people gets booted or slayed for playing with sportsmanship.

Yeah, CoD4 was so realistic you could fire a Desert Eagle at speeds that would break your arm off and survive 2 shots to the head.

But it is a semi realistic arcade shooter, like a cross between Halo (ultimate arcade) and Rainbow Six (ultimate realism).

[QUOTE="cheese_it"]It's evolution, baby!ps3wizard45

10- for refering Pearl Jam to this :evil:

Anyway, I'm not getting it EVER... not gonna support Kotick AT ALL.

they made the game too casual and noob friendly.

Meh, even Rainbow Six has regenerating health, and other trappings of arcade shooters. For a truely realistic shooter check out this...

I think that's almost as bad as losing five times in a Yu-Gi-Oh game (Can't remember which Yu-Gi-Oh game it was) to fight Mokuba Kaiba, Seto Kaiba's little brother.

EDIT: Just found out it was Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition:Stairway to the Destined Duel on the GBA.

It's something new. Haters can not say MW2 does not innovate. :oIronBass

Oh its innovative. I will give it that...

Where did they say this?

Somewhere Gaylord 'Greg' Fokker is going to be happy playing MW2...

I don't see how this is innovative in anyway. From reading Gamespot's Hints and Cheats page for Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel on the Gameboy Advance, there is an unlockable where if you lose five times, you'll unlock the ability to fight a certain character, Mokuba Kaiba.nintendoboy16

Not comparable by what genre, no. But the point is how you get something is very similar and not innovative. Maybe for FPS, but certainly not in general.nintendoboy16

Well, for players like myself (who are pretty much bullet-sponges) I think it's great...67gt500

I always thought I was a gernade magnet. I think I lead the game in deaths attributed to random gernade throws,,,

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="IronBass"] It's not really comparable. Your case was a requirement to trigger a SP event. We are talking about competitive MP. Seriously, it couldn't be less comparable. :?mtradr43

I heard about this, 3x health is waaay to much, maybe 2x health. What happens if you get 7 death streak? call in a helicopter? :P

I can understanding ther reasoning behind it, but it is a horrible idea
