Why were you disappointed with MW2?

"This corridor looks totally safe": SHAZAM killed by camper.

"Sweet I just respawned time to kick ass": BAM shot down by chopper.

"Time to rush": BOOM noob tubed.

The game is fun at times but at others it just gets ridiculous with all the killstreak rewards, noob tubes and campers.

Part of the fun of the game is annihilating such players...

I really don't see what the hate is all about for MW2. Must be cool to hate popular games, I guess. I still don't really believe all this hype surrounding BF: BC2. I think it will be a good game, but I really don't think it will be better than MW2. I could be wrong, of course, but I think the games will be about equal. I personally hate in-game vehicles, so COD is my preferred choice.

Sure. But then you realize the number of times you get massacred by things such as noob tubes and killstreak rewards far surpass the enjoyment of killing them a few times.

I waa't really disapointed .. The Single Player story was a little confusing but .. I mean It's a revolutionary FPS

Not sure if that's sarcasm but if not there's absolutely nothing revolutionary about MW2.

i had low expectations so it didn't really disappoint me, the campaign was surprisingly fun actually, online is only fun if you don't take it seriously, i'd say COD4 is the superior modern warfare game in the COD franchise atm

Yes, I was disappointed with MW2.

1. The campaign was dull, trying to be complicated when the story fell through the cracks. This is what happens when you try to top the story of the last game.
2. Veteran felt like Hardcore from COD4
3. SpecOps was fun until I beat it with my partner. It needed to have atleast 4 player co-op for some missiosns.
4. "No Russian" felt like an excuse to kill innocent people, when I would've bought a cinematic instead.
5. The multiplayer took all the good and bad things from COD4, and added more bad.
6. There are no real new gametypes.
7. 3rd Person gametypes are pointless.
8. Stopping Power with no Juggernaut is the most unbalanced experience I've ever had in a game.
9. Dual wielding shotguns (1887s) that don't recoil and has a range of 15-20 feet = terrible.
10. Commando make you lung about 5-6 feet, and the melee is still an instant kill.
11. Snipers do no real good damage unless your get a perfect headshot or you're in Hardcore.
12. Hardcore is full of campers.
13. The only reason why I play it is to play with friends, but only two of them play now, even though they don't like the game.
14. IT ISN'T FUN AT ALL!
15. Rewards players for everything. Killing, randomly killing someone behind a brick wall, dying.
16. I liked COD4 and COD:WAW, and Halo 3 and Team Fortress 2 are still better.
17. Every gaming website/magazine/anything that gives this game GOTY is just doing so off of the greatness of COD4 (atleast I hope).

im not dissapointed at all, MW2 is a quality game....

with that being said, the only things i dont like about it were --

graphics could have been better imo

you cant play local split screen multiplayer online like halo

the campaign was short

If you were.

I've seen a lot of people express their disappointment with the new Call Of Duty. I'm not the biggest CoD fan (though I do own World at War and MW2), so I haven't put in nearly as many hours as other fans have (I've probably only clocked around 10 on WaW and 1 on MW2). So to you people who really enjoyed the last Modern Warfare but found that this one didn't reach your hopes and expectations, what things did you find to be wrong with the new release? The only qualm I've been able to muster with the amount of time I spent with CoD 4 & 6 is the apparent lack of an attempted new formula on the latter's part.

CowLoogi

Myself and millions of others seem to be enjoying the hell out of the game.

first time i've been pissed off angry at the game and players rather than being annoyed at myself for doing something stupid.

Ignoring the PC version (as you should), I guess I'm disappointed by the singleplayer campaign, specifically its length. Since I haven't played it yet that's the only thing I can legitimately criticize. And I haven't played it because it's $60 and the campaign is short. I have limited interest in this game's multiplayer. Especially with MAG and Bad Company 2 around the corner.

Well, I was kinda pissed that none of the maps from COD4 made it into MW2. But the real beef I have with it is that they added too much(or took away) to the MP IMO. The Killstreaks are overpowered, the attachments are overpowered, only one claymore available at a time, some of the COD4 weapons are missing(particularly the MP5), etc. Just too many changes. I liked the simplicity of COD4. Too bad, could've been so much better.

IW.NET, some of the kill streaks (chopper gunner/ac130 etc), horrible weapon balancing (yeah because a 9mm sub machine gun is more powerful than an assault rifle).

If they fixed the hackers/mods/bugs shooting around corners (I KNOW WHAT I SAW AND YOU KNOW TOO!) Fix the fact that a riot shield can survive impact with a steady current of LMG fire, tac knife, some questionable perks, the fact that you can shoot through plate steel/cement/brick, etc even with an m9. AND even if you did manage to get a bullet througyh Plate steel its power would be HEAVILY decreased. Theres 900k people online at times, I should be in a match in no more than 5 seconds. For a game with an anticipated 12mil buyers the first 2 months, they should have REALLY made the game better. A Ninja Gaiden 1 to Ninja Gaiden 2 campaign scenario. Replace action/great story telling with Action/Great Action. NONSENSICAL STORY THAT TAKES YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD. And Keep Ryu Silent >_> just saying Team Ninja. IMO Bad Company 2 is the FPS to watch out for.

Too many glitches

Hathesulacon

Yeah I agree about the shooting around corners thing, I think it's lag. I'm miles around the corner, I die, watch the kill cam and it really doesn't make a lick of sense.

this thread sounds like a bunch of whining to me. its a game!!!! every game has flaws!!! but this game is fun. you guys are in the minority. theres almost a million people on xbox live every night playing this, so somebody must like it. as far as campers go, if you cant beat em, join em. i camp like hell and have fun doing it. in a real war situation, you wouldnt run around trying to knife people with infinite sprint turned on!!! thats not real. you would be with your squad holding a position.

Fund game, not quite an epic war game, but still fun nonetheless. :)

I'm not disappointed in it….I'm having fun playing the game…

masiisam

I don't get why people are complaining about getting a chopper gunner/ac 130. When I get 11 kills in a row, I'm glad that I'm getting rewarded.

Thank God!!! Based on most user and critic reactions I thought I was the only one who didnt like MW2. I was so excited from the day I bought it on Amazon to the day it actually came. I went home early from work saying I felt "sick" just to play this bad boy.

Turns out this bad boy was actually very bad.

Graphics: They looked worse than COD4, maybe because I was playing MW2 on Ps3 while the actual COD4, I played on Xbox. Maybe because I had played Uncharted 2 to death for the past month. But IMO, the graphics of this game were horrendously bad. COD4 had one of the best graphics of its time (again, IMO) and this game looked worse than L4D.

Single Player: I used to play the COD4 campaign over lunch breaks! (yes I have an Xbox at work) I have played the single player campaign atleast 30 times. I actually liked and understood the thin story that the game had. I actually **SPOILERS** felt bad when Captain Price and that black dude died in the end. I felt great when that Russian guy came to the rescue in the end. The Mile High Club is the most prized of all my X360 achievements. Compared to all that, MW2 looked like a cheap knockoff of the first game. It looked like an inexperienced studio made a game imitating COD4, trying too hard to be COD4. For anyone who wants to play MW and MW2 campaigns, you should definitely start with MW2 so you wont be utterly disappointed. If I hadn't read about the airport level and the story surrounding it on GS and other sites, I probably would not have understood the meaning of it at all. I have no motivation at all to even finish it, let alone replay it so many times like I did with COD4.

Multiplayer: This is where MW2 shines, they say. I did play a little bit of COD4 MP, and this looks just the same. The loadouts, etc seem to complicated and mess up the game FOR ME. My roommate loves it and that's the only reason I haven't sold away this game. Maps have always been too complicated and call me old, but multiplayer is really hard for me. Finding a player in the map is hard and 3-bullets-and-you're-done doesn't work for me. Helicopter and "laptop kills", as I call them, are a real bummer as I get to have them myself very rarely. BUT watching my roommate play, I must say that this game does have really good MP, just not anything entirely new compared to COD4.

Other: Spec Ops is good but too bummed out by the game to play it that much. And what is with the soooo many guns that all act the same, with just cosmetic differences?

I'm not dissapointed, I'm actually extremely happy i bought the game. The MP is fantastic!

I find MW2 is better than MW1 (especially the campaign) but multiplayer wise it doesnt come close to Bad Company 1 and 1943 in my opinion. Bad Company 2 will own all :P

Well, first of all I don't like Call of Duty in general. The reason is because it's not a hard game to get good at, and you can do it quick.

Then kids (My age, like 16-18 ) think they are insane hardcore gamers because they got a 15 kill streak or whatever.

Proof: I hate FPS (Unless it's for the PC), and I cannot do anything with a normal controller. Also, I'm pretty bad at multiplayer video games. My friends who play MW2 all night on weekends, and have every XBL achievement were playing at this kids house on New Year's Eve. So I grabbed the fourth controller and started to play. At first, I couldn't figure out the controls, and they were telling me what did what, and after 5 minutes I was good. I really wasn't doing better than them, but I was able to keep up in score.

I'm not saying the game isn't fun, it's just people play it for the wrong reasons. Personally, I really enjoy playing Modern Warfare Reflex because it's fun as hell, but Call of Duty isn't a skillful game.

-

I didn't like Modern Warfare 2 because the storymode wasn't great, and the multiplayer is the same as the other games.

The only major changes I've heard about the online are: Throwing knives, and the dumb nuke thing.

It's very unbalanced, but I'm glad it's noob friendly because even the worst player can kill the best, that's what is fun about games, if you keep dying from the best player, at least MW2 gives you the chance to kill him.. this is why I don't play PC games, they're full of people who constantly play the game and it's more or less a competition. You're all just angry at it because you get killed by noobs, it's fun.

Infinity Ward was so focused on adding killstreak rewards, callsigns, emblems, deathstreaks, perksand all types of other foolishness that they forgot about what made CoD popular in the first place which is IMO tight/focused CQC.

WoW is to mmos as codmw2 is to fps.

Extremely popular, extremely easy. However I can pretty much say that if a "good" player versed a pro at cod4 the entire "takes no skill" quote would be thrown right out the widow.

The reason the dificulty overall was reduced was because the AI could no longer cheat in MW2... IE they don't know where you are unless they have a direct LOS, which in COD4 they would kill you even if you were lying down in long grass; in COD4 they would be shooting at your head while not even looking at you or even while running, while in MW2 the only time they can be that precise is if they are stationary. COD4 on Veteran was just a **** game that really made the flaws stand out where MW2 actually improved in that aspect.

Other than your comments about balance and multiplayer being skewered I would say that most of everything else on that list is unfounded, particularly the bit about WaW being better... WaW was a horrible game apart from the zombies.

The game is a blast one of the best ever...

Noobs complain MW2 because it's the most competitive FPS game. With killstreak, pros would only get better and noob get even worse.

However, MW2 does have a weakness. Activision is too cheap to setup dedicated server for it.

wasn't really "disappointed" with MW2, but the fun-factor didn't last nearly as long as it's predacessor.

my theories as to why

1. well to start it was my 5th CoD game (one every year for 5 years. granted I only borrowed 2, 3 and WaW were Xmas gifts) so it was inevitable it'd get an "eh, been there, done that and killed it all before" feel

2. typical CoD SP. once you beat it on Veteran, all you have is MP (and Spec Ops this time around but I've beaten all those already). Plot wise it felt less, fulfilling that CoD4, little bit too, Micheal Bay-ish (wereas CoD4 felt more like a Tom Clancy movie to me)

I guess that's really it. I'm sure I could go on, but even #2 on the above list feels borderline like "grasping at straws" territory.

the challenge is staying alive and u can pull that off if u have "skill"

It's more like I kill more than I should. CoD is a series in which i probably have my highest K/D ratio cause of streaks.

I take it back. I probably have a higher K/D ratio in Shadow Run w/o streaks. Troll FTW.
