Why Modern Warfare 2 is the one of the best fps of all time.

The game is hated on because people seriously arn't that great at it. People claim you can only be good if you camp, yet a more "strategic" and highly acclaimed game like Bad Company 2 has more campers than a weekend at boyscout camp.

People say imbalance in weapons, which is present in almost every online shooter, and people will rage-type auto-aim, when it's available to EVERYONE, and in no way gives any one player a better edge than another. The real reason people hate MW2: People arn't that good at it, or need to learn to play the game differently. Don't say camping in a game is boring, and camp the whole match. Don't say run n' gun is boring, and run n' gun the whole way.With so many perks/weapons/attachments, choose the way YOU like to play, and make it work.

MW2 is nowhere close to being one of the best FPS of all-time. its not even on the list.forza420

Too bad the game in your sig applies to that statement as well. In fact, it suffers from a lot of the same things people hate on MW2 for.

I wouldn't even put MW2 in my list of top 10 FPS :?

5 hour campaign filled with linear corridor shooting and a horrible, jumbled plot. Unbalanced, laggy multiplayer that rewards people who suck.

But it doesn't matter much to me anyway.

[QUOTE="Raidenheart"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]I'm going to say it:Modern Warfare 2 is an amazing video game.I don't even play the damn game, but I do respect what it is.

At the outset I hated on it just as many do here in SW and in the 'core' gaming community. I complained about the Killstreaks. I whined about the 'unbalanced' perks. I was just another follower who fell into the whole 'Activision sucks so therefore I hate MW2' or 'MW2 is not a true sequel. This lasted for a couple of weeks, until I actually paid close attention to the game. You know things like: what it actually offers and the steps Infinity Ward took in order to balance the Killstreaks and Perks. And next I realized, "How many sequels are true sequels to begin with?". Every dev isn't the amazing Naughty Dog.

Themultiplayer game design isn't perfect. No game is. But MW2 does one thing right. For every perk there is a perk that counters, except Commando. Killstreaks, believe it or not, are very easy to take down. The Killstreaks UAV, Harrier, Chopper Gunner, Pavelow, and Attack Helicopter can all be taken down in a single Stinger shot (you have Overwatch cIass available from the start of the game). Killstreaks AC130 can be taken out with 3 Stinger missiles. Would you like to know how? Teamwork. For a game where gamers complain of 'no teamwork' - and the opportunity of 'teamwork' presents itself, then the Killstreak system is all of a sudden 'too powerful'. There's also the Cold Blooded perk that prevents Killstreaks from even seeing you.

-

Single player is the other component that gets a slamming. It's not that great. There are laughable plot points and it's rather short. Butwhat video game in a first-person-shooter this generation has an amazing single player campaign, while at the same time sports a top-of-the-line multiplayer? Chances are, there are VERY few out there for you to find. Again, not every developer can do what Naughty Dog did.NAUGHTY DOG For The Mutha F****** WIN!

-

Another great thing about MW2 is that its fast paced. 60 frames per second and controls like a charm. Because of this,reflexes and quick thinking are rewarded. Levels are multi-tiered which provide variety in traversing each map. There are many hiding spots. Platforming is a big mechanic that works very well in MW2. Due to this, the player is given a chance to showcase their 'map memory' ability and 'area scanning' capability. Contrary to what some people believe, its not a run-and-gun shooter. It's quite tactical. Especially on objective based game modes. At the same time, its not the most tactical shooter out there.

-

Modern Warfare is officially themost clowned-on game this generation. Maybe because of its unprecedented popularity. Maybe because of Activision's CEO. Maybe because of glitches that weren't ironed out by a much needed beta that didn't happen. Maybe because some gamers believe its not a 'true sequel'. It's slammed more than Halo, Mario, and Killzone.There's such hardcore disdain for MW2. Much of the dislike is unwarranted in my eyes. It's truly a game that everyone can hate on since it is multiplat. I have much faith in this:If Modern Warfare 2 was exclusive to one platform, it's faults would most likely be overlooked, and everything it does right would be amplified with praise.

Well... I just think that more people should give this a chance. Unless you legitimately dislike shooters in general. To me, Modern Warfare is a game that isoverrated by the gaming pressandunderrated by core gamers. For me the pro's outweigh the cons big time.TREAL_Since

Commando is a piece of trash.... but overpowered melee kills are a riddance in shooters today in general. And when a developer makes it more difficult to attain melee kills - BAD COMPANY 2 - people still complain!

One Man Army is out of place for sure. It shouldn't exist lol. Alot of games have standout equipment or mechanics that seem unbalanced. MW2 isn't the exception.

The game doesn't reward teamwork all of the time, but teamwork is required to win many matches. Obviously in team deathmatch one player could win for his team - because it's called team deathmatch. I've done it many times in Gears of War and Killzone 2 as well. I've seen countless games of Domination, Demolition, and Headquarters where a player has 60 kills and 5 deaths, and their team still lost. There are cases where relying on kills will lose you the game. 8 times out of 10 you have to utilize teamwork if you want to win those objective based modes. This is from my experience. Out of millions of online players this may vary.

Put Cold Blooded on if you want to be invisible to Killstreaks (actually its not always necessary). You have 5+ custom slots to choose from. And if your 'team' co-ordinates on which role each individual plays, then all is good. If you happen to die, simply switch to a cIass with stinger. One shot kill for most killstreaks. If your team is getting dominated by another player, believe me I've seen it way to many times - yall are just doing it wrong. The main complaint is spawn kills I know, but most spawning points aren't predictable. If you're getting demolished by another player guess what you have to do? Co-ordinate with your team and take him out. They give you Killcam for a reason. This gives team mates a chance to notify each other - team work.

Community is a key factor in online games. MW2 has so many players that there are bound to get matched with all kinds of KDR freaks and individualistic players. You'll also find players who like to win in other ways - like communicating. If you create party with your buddies I'm sure many people would have a great time.

You can read my previous post as to why I give credit to this game concerning 'depth'. I just look at what the game offers and play to its strengths.

You forgot activision in OP and it's a useless game. There are many better online fps's. Just TF2 and BFBC2 pretty much fulfill all needs for online FPS.

What's wrong with MW2? I might say it's formulaic. Workman-like. I don't want every sequel to break borders, but with this many installments, it's a wonder how they're still operating out of square one. I played an intense point-capture game in BC2 and played a few matches of MW2 right after (Steam free weekend). Shooting guys is fun for a time, but after I came to the conclusion: I'm just shooting guys. Literally, pointing and clicking.

There's no semblance of a battlefield, very little team work, the maps are pretty much arenas. You have people spawning behind you so you never have any sense of where "the line" is, everything is so static and lifeless about the environments. In BC2, your squad is constantly trying to gain the best strategic position over the other team and you accomplish this by use of destructible environments, vehicle-play, and even flanking routes. In BC2, I'm thinking, how can I put the other team in a bad spot? Get rid of that house, keep an eye on that road, make it so they can't sneak up on us? In MW2, everyone is thinking, where can I hide and catch my enemy unawares? And the games are settled by who really has the most firepower. Whoever has a steadier hand, whoever sees the other guy first. CoD has been operating under the epic warfare guise for years, but really, multiplayer devolves into ten guys scattered all over the map in one-on-one shootouts.

You might be saying, you're wrong, CoD didn't invent arena-shooters. And CS has been doing that long before CoD. But just remember, they aren't putting a CS out every year.

A CoD-less world would be a lesser world in my eyes, but MW2 just showed that the devs could rearrange some features, half-ass a campaign mode, and charge you ten bucks more than the previous year's CoD. This is why people are hating, I'd think.

[QUOTE="dkjestrup"]The gameplay of this game is almost perfect. What sucks is: Killstreaks OMA/Danger Close/Noobtubes/Propipes Commando. You take the cheap stuff out and I'd buy the game.Episode_Eve

Well, I don't think killstreaks are so bad when they're easy to take out and even hide from. Danger Close can be somewhat abated with the Blast Shield equipment. Noobtubes could be a problem in other games as well, Bad Company 2 included (Assaults can camp while replenishing their own ammo; just as bad as OMA).

One Man Army and Commando should be banished from the game though lol!

And Commando is the dumbest thing in the world. I think its OK to not take damage from falls with commando pro. But lunging farther is just stupid. I think there should be a perk that makes it so it takes 2 knife stabs or cuts to kill you. That way it could protect you against that crap!

I love both of these games though. I like to go back and forth :).

Sharpie125

I agree that it takes strategy to play as a squad in BC2 tho :)! In MW2, I use my awareness to my advantage and try to flank enemies (like in other games too). Its not about who has the most firepower...I can kill a guy who's using a M16 with my pistol easily. MW2 does reward reflexes, map traversing, and area scanning. And I can kill a person who shoots me first. You're not doomed as soon as someone starts shooting at you :). You can use the map to your advantage, and prone even, turning around is pretty fast too. Depending on the perks you have on will help or hurt you in situations like that too.

^As much as I love me some Halo, it's a pretty big offender of some of the stuff MW2 does I have to admit. That's more arena than CoD, if only because it doesn't have the gritty quality of it.

When I say lifeless, I'm probably describing it wrong. But to me, MW2 lacks the immersion of other games. BC2 is one. Red Orchestra is another. All the player models stand out so much that nobody pays attention to the environment, just who is moving across your iron sights. IMO it's just unnatural the way people move in COD. Everyone's just scurrying around dodging bullets. In Red Orchestra, one of the first things that struck me when I came to the bombed out ruins of a marketplace in Danzig. My team wasn't running around trying to get kills. Everyone was huddled together in various positions in shellholes, crouching behind sandbags with thick smoke for cover while machine gun tracer rounds whipped overhead. Red Orchestra is a pretty rough looking game, but that felt like a warzone to me.

BC2 just because the destructibility :p. One of the best experiences I ever had was a 15+ minute shootout with a bunch of squads and a few tanks that took place between an intersection and a few houses. By the end of the battle, the various armour was scattered in the middle of the street, all knocked out and being used for cover. All the houses were reduced to rubble, and everyone was still fighting tooth and nail for the point in the middle.

It isn't the worst FPS game I've ever played, but considering it is 2010; I expected much more out of the game. The entire experience feels very closed off. I don't understand the hype and critical acclaim it recieved, because it doesn't really advance the fps genre--it takes it back a notch imo, actually.

Things many people dislike about this game are:

- The noobish aiming

- Cooking nades

- Kill-streaks

- No one is equal in MP

- Short Campaign

- Linear Experience, all events are scripted

- Recycled resources and levels for Spec-Ops

- Overpriced on the PC

- No dedicated servers

- Expensive MP maps

I could go on and on and on..

It's a great game, but as any other popular title it is hated on.

EDIT:

I'm talking about the franchise in general.

Besides the camping issue being overblown, you make it seem like everyone just sits in a corner with a double barrelled shotgun. In the end, the best players are the ones who are very agressive and are constantly moving around. Watch any youtube commentary to see this.

You say call of duty needs to change but there really is not much to change. We're always going to be shooting people, and the A.I. is good as it is. They change the scenery, upgrade the graphics, and throw in a ton of weapons for multiplayer and you're still not pleased.

In what ways can call of duty change for the better?

MW2 os a nice shooter but it´s not even the best of it´s year. that would go to KZ2, BF 1943 or L4D2

Modern Warfare 2 for 360/PS3/PC is great looking, easy to get into, well designed, and most of all fun.

The online is deeper than any other fps to date. Yet still this game gets more hate than any other game in SW. Why is this?

Because it's cool to hate. When everyone else in the world found out about Call of Duty, gamers got mad. Though in reality, the core gameplay was still there. The great production values? Still there. Sure the game was a little unbalanced, but there was so much stuff to unlock you didn't care. Modern Warfare 2 commentaries are dominating youtube right now. The reason is because the game is so popular. Which means people like it. And it turns out, we're people too. So if the majority of the world likes it, the majority of us should reasonably like it too.

The hermits cry "Cod 1 was awesome, from then on it went all downhill", yet every single video game critic disagrees.I would also like to hear any reason why you think the first/second game was better, because I've played them all, and I have to disagree.

In truth, a game can be objectively disliked based on graphics, controls, and features.The game has all of those. So why, SW, do so many of us here love to hate this game?

The game is hated on because people seriously arn't that great at it. People claim you can only be good if you camp, yet a more "strategic" and highly acclaimed game like Bad Company 2 has more campers than a weekend at boyscout camp.

People say imbalance in weapons, which is present in almost every online shooter, and people will rage-type auto-aim, when it's available to EVERYONE, and in no way gives any one player a better edge than another. The real reason people hate MW2: People arn't that good at it, or need to learn to play the game differently. Don't say camping in a game is boring, and camp the whole match. Don't say run n' gun is boring, and run n' gun the whole way.With so many perks/weapons/attachments, choose the way YOU like to play, and make it work.

There are people who hate on MW2 because they aren't good at it..but it may not be fair to say that's the only reason. There are people who aren't so good and still love to play too.

What happens when players who had 2.0+ K/D ratios state that they hate it? Guess what buddy, I'm one of 'em. Or I was, as I haven't touched it in months. There is a blatant over-emphasis on killstreaks, and some of them are so woefully overpowered that it makes me weep. The chopper gunner in particular is guilty of this. You say I need to use the Stinger missile addon.

I have a 2.0+ k/d ratio and I play the game every day almost :). There is a huge emphasis on killstreak but they aren't "over-powered" (there is a new "bare bones" game play list that takes them out. Black Ops will have it too, but I think Treyarch took out perks as well)... I was playing a free-for-all match this morning and a guy took out my chopper gunner with one Stinger shot...he wasn't even using Cold Blooded. I do the same all the time. For AC-130s it takes teamwork...one player has to distract the flares, then another shoots right after to destroy the plane :).

Well, when one requires a WHOLE INVENTORY slot to counter a single perk, you know something is wrong.

You get 5 custom cIass slots from the start (you get more when you prestige, I have 9 slots right now). Is it hard to dedicate one slot with the Stinger as a secondary weapon? You can still have a M16 for your primary weapon on that slot! Besides...mixing and matching different perks and equipment can be tactical in a way. Do you ever change your specs during a game in Bad Company 2? I do! You have to adjust sometimes :).

Camping in BC2 doesn't land you game-killing tacticul nukes, so it's nowhere near as much of an issue in BC2, despite it's significant presence. Don't even get me started on the lameness that is Commando and Cold Blooded. Some people hate MW2 because they genuinely think it sucks, not because they're bad at it. Speak for yourself, and not for others.

If someone is camping in MW2, you can see where they are with the killcam. And team mates can tell each other too and try to take him out. I'm gonna tell you the truth :)... no one has ever gotten a legitimate nuke while i was on the other team. I find them and take them out or their killstreaks out. I'm just one person, imagine if the whole team is aware of it, along with the objectives in the game mode!

Why is Cold Blooded lame? Its a perfect counter to the "overpowred" killstreaks (and thermal scope). It hides you from them if they're computer controlled and gives you an advantage against a chopper gunner... I already talked about how Commando is lame.

My words are in bold...and If you can.. please read my other posts in the thread :). I like having conversations about this game with people :P.

There is what the TC believes, and then there's the truth.

It's a good game, but its obvious balance issues overrule its chance of even getting close to the title of best fps.

I didn't notice much of a difference in DX10 and DX11, both of them looked pretty damn good though, much better than DX9.

I did notice a performance drop in DX11 though with a very minute increase in graphics, so I just stick to DX10.

Anyway, I have to agree with the aim assist sentiment.

Sure in theory it's met to assist the player but in practice it makes precision aiming unnecessarily difficult to pull off, havingunattended targets run in front of your line of sight affecting the "magnetic pull" just gets annoying. I wish developers would stop using such nonsense.

It's not the best because it's so easy to cheat,boost and glitch in this game it's not even funny. If this game didn't have these faults it would have sold a lot less than 20 Million.I heard my cousin talkin with one of his friends yesterday about boosting to get better guns in the ps3 version of this game. The leaderboards are also messed up because of all this cheating and the best people that don't cheat/camp/hack can't even get high in the leaderboards. I barely even see my cousin's team mates when he's playing this game and it's usually at the end of the match because there killing people not actually completing the objective. There's also the cheap killstreaks and activision's attiude to preventing glitches from being discovered.The only thing I kinda liked about this game is the campaign,but that's ruined by it's plot and the fact that it's hard for some people to understand the story. The level's were the best part of the campaign and singleplayer.
