Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer preview

Wow well if you were planning on getting this, this will probably sway you in favor and if you weren't (like I) this will be more reason for you not to.

I'm sorry but death streak rewards? secondary weapons standard? Giving away XP for doing non-spectacular things like candy?

Noob central confirmed thankfully the MAG beta starts tomorrow and I can play that till Nov. then go back to KZ2. Thanks for saving me $60 bucks IW.

A game that rewards bad players is a bad game. I think I'll pass.

Rewarding players for dying by giving them more health? Who came up with that bright idea?

Huh. Probably the same guy who came up with Martyrdom.

WTF? This sounds weird.

Dang, well you're right Box. That makes me want to play it even less lol. I'll def. be watching my lil bro play though.

Death streaks, thats weak...

lol..you guys...

lol..you guys...

Wow, that's pretty lame.

It's gone from a game played by newbs to a game designed for newbs...

Being someone who gets a kill streak every life I'm not looking forward to every noob I pwn taking an entire clip to put down because the game was too hard for them.

And the two weapon business pretty much negates the tactical value of choosing the proper gun- now everyone can have a sniper and an SMG without sacrificing a perk slot.

LAAAAAAME.

Okay so having 2 completely decked-out guns at once is standard? Not a perk?

and like everyone else has said... DEATH STREAKS? Seriously? :?

Sounds good but no open beta + Not allowing reviewers to even get hold of it and the increased cost!

Sounds like these guys are going for maximum money making from the word go and a lot of people could be buying a flop when this game is released.

As a matter of fact i hope the game is rubbish to put these people back in place.

No Zombie mode is a shame as well.

i'm still looking forward to MW2...

the closer this game to the release date, the more noobish/lame information we get.

[QUOTE="dakan45"]TC you think MAG is gonna be better than this? Ok lets see, but i played mag and i cant tell you it felt terrible, i was unloading tons of ammo on a single enemy.II_Seraphim_II

If a player needs to includes the perk death streaks then they must not be a good player and are not going to cause me that big of a problem. They have to die 4 times before they get the Copycat perk which only give them the same guns and perks that the last person who killed them have got.

NoI wassaying if the other player is that bad then give them the extra health and i will still sneak up on the noob and blow their head off.

*For anyone who hasn't seen the story on the GS front page. The 360 version will have the DLC maps first. It also highlight anyone in your XBL party with a different colour name.

Nothing in there is going to disuade me from getting and enjoying this game. Death streaks, who cares. Secondary weapons, well that is just overkill implemented differently. The game looks goods and sounds like fun. from what I have been reading, the game pretty much the same, with a bunch of added features. That is what I am looking for in a sequel. I don't want a FPS to turn into a top down platformer. The funny thing is that all of these MW2 hate threads are being created by people who have absolutely no intention of buying it.

Also, why is everyone looking at one thing they don't like and whining about it, and all of the things that were asked for, more weapons, multiple attachments, anti-camping equipment etc., get no mention?

hmmm...death streaks seem a bit weak. Also to those who are crying CASUAL, and NEWB FRIENDLY LULZ! maybe they aren't looking to create a game with a steep learning curve, maybe...just maybe they want the game to be fun whether or not you lose. It's not like it takes absolutely no skill to play but i'll admit its easier to get into than most fpses. But man this game's multiplayer is so much more full than most games multiplayer these days.

Also don't like the idea of having two major weapons as opposed to primary and a pistol. It just seems like way too much firepower.

I play Hardcore so hopefully the death streak will not be a problem if it starts taking an entire clip to drop people in Hardcore like it does core that will be really disappointing. As long as the spawning is not like COD:WAW there shouldn't be too many times were I die3 times in a row with out killing someone.

Death streak sounds pretty good. COD4 problem was competition due to newer players getting slaughter by older players because of that stupid perk system. Allowing new players to die 4 timse and then obtain the same weapons even the playing field making me (I don't play fps that much I was good at cod4 in the eearly stages but bad later on because of the perk system) would make it easie ron me to compete.

I have never heard of a game that actively rewards the player for multiple-deaths in a row :|

Utterly horrid design choice

wow this sounds horrible. So they've added tons of more explosives with more killstreaks, and now they've added two heavy weapons and death streeks? Pass.

all good additions. everyone complaining about the death streaks should read that section again. nothing there is gamebreaking, just helps people who are in a bad streak to get a kill and get going again. customizable killstreaks and further customizable loadout, who wouldnt want that? they expanded on every single thing in the mp, all for the better. i cant find one thing wrong in that article that im not going to enjoy.mtradr43

I think so also it's great that you can customize the killstreaks now not everyone on your team will have UAV I hate when I throw on my UAV and then like 2 more people throw theres up while mine is still up. If you play with a group of friends like I do there is a lot more strategy involved with all the customozation.

This is officially the noobiest shooter ever created in gaming history. Are they trying to make it viable for five year olds to do well in it now?

Wow, that's pretty lame.

I am laughing at the deathstreak complaints. Weren't these the same people saying it was waaaay too easy to just own people in Cod4? Aren't these the same people complaining about unlocks and high level players being too powerful over newer players? Wouldn't this add a little challenge the so called elite FPS shooter folks I see ranting on here?

Oh well I thought it was a good preview and am definitely getting it.
