How is MW1 better than MW2? NO WAY

So many people are going back to MW1 and say that MW2 is not as good. How can that be, its MW1 with better everything. You always get one or two people who always say an earlier version of a series is better...but come on!!!!!

Examples of why Modern Warfare 1 is better than 2 is not clear to me. Some say the problems are with the online play but i think thats just because they don't get enough kills. They probably remember being really good at the first MW so are now slagging off a better game because it may not be as easy for them to be great. I often get messages from the guy i kill 20 times in a round saying that the games broken...no its just that they don't react in time and my shots to the temple take them to the floor.

Seriously, i don't think you can say that the newer improved version is worse than the old version....

Please do...explain the glitches 'in your' game. I always get this from other players. What glitches...im sure its about reaction times not the fact the games flawed.

Too noob friendly. Just feel that MW1 required more skill.SaltyMeatballs

Totally agree, IW jsut really blew all these ideas out of there without even beta testing thinking that everyon will like all these really broken mechanics to making you seem your a better player. I personally beleive that if they beta tested fixed bad network problems, got rid of the whole Akimbo thing, and went back to the original 3 killstreaks, UAV, missles, Chopper i can garuntee that MW2 would just be better as a whole. It dosnt mean it makes it a great competitive game its still as casual arcade shotter as you can get, but those changes would make it mroe playable. Oh and yes an actual matchmaking system so level 10's aren't gettin mixed with level 55's and getting pooped on due to lack of broken perks.tehHaste

Also, I said MW1 required more skill not that MW2 is bad.

To me MW2 seems like a game based off of random chance. Your running around then. BAM. "Oh great, i got shot by that guy that was 3 floors up and behind me."

Meanwhile, you see a guy running (enter random direction). You see him first. Shoot him, yay! you got a kill. The only skill that comes into play is when two guys see each other and take cover and have a shoot off.

By the way, one person latency being worse than someone else's /=/ equal reaction time :roll:

It took skill to play MW1 because there were no Deathstreaks, the maps were actually GOOD, Shotguns wouldn't kill you when you were 15-20 FT. away, and the players health was perfect. MW2 encourages camping with things like Ninja, Cold-Blooded, and the Heartbeat sensor. Also glitches, hacker, and boosters run the game.

All it is is a camping game. The few times I played CoD4 i don't remember that much camping as there is in MW2. Maybe you shouldn't care what games people like better and let them play what they want?

IMO Camping, few flank routes, cheap kills , cheap killstreaks, cheap guns, cheap perks need I say more?

Pretty much what everyones saying. They went overboard with MW2. They brought in too many things that made the game not even feel like call of duty anymore. and they didn't beta test them, which resulted in a broken multiplayer that nobody could enjoy. Also dual shotguns? I hope they fired the guy that came up with that idea.-ICON-

MW2 blows Mw1 out the park its is better than it in every aspect and I loved MW1

Well I like Modern warfare 1 more but I only play MW2 now. It has fixed somethings from MW1 and WAW but also added more problems such as carepackage gliches stairways into the sky and shotgunsthat are overpowering and doublewealded. hey dont be offended, just because us MW1 fansperfer mw2 doesnt meen we dont beast at mw2 I just feeltheres a lot more cheap thigs todo. Luckly there patching everything so maybe itle be better. I just felt MW1 had way better players and an all over better atmosphere

Well MW's maps don't completely suck (they're pretty good actually) and they don't have a million perks and killstreaks for noobs to thrive on. nate_c-12

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]

[QUOTE="DavidToolMusic"] I smell 4 year old sour grapes. You probably remember getting an easy ride in modern warfare one and that is why you feel the need to hate on the new game. Its not a Noob Friendly game, you just don't have the skills to match those who have managed to get a grip of the gameplay and use the new guns proper. Come on people? Is there any real problems really....just because you are bad at the game don't make the game bad.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems most people in here liked MW1 better and I agree.I traded in MW2 about a week and a half after release,it was a huge disappointment for me.The guy at EB Games found it hard to believe I was trading it in so soon.I must admit even I found it abit strange,being a huge shooter fan that I didnt like the game that everybody was crazy over but now months later it seems more and more people are having the same feelings I had early on,so I guess Im not alone after all and no we didnt all suck at MW2,including myself.You wanted to know "how" TC and when people respond with honest,valid oppinions you deny them.You can disagree but your question has been answered.

Dude, stop lying to yourself, people are answering your question and your just blowing it off. Mw1>mw2, because of camping, killstreaks, glitching, grenade launchers, maps,and most importantly lack of recoil on guns.

There are no facts about why mw1 was better, it is an opinion, so don't ask for facts, but I will elaborate.

The biggest problem with mw2, in my opinion, is lack of recoil. It just doesnt make the guns feel right. With no recoil, it just becomes a game of just point and shoot, unlike mw1 where you had to control your gun more. Also, this makes the guns very powerful, if you stick your head out for two seconds, your dead. All this means mw2 becomes a defensive game, which leads to camping and games aren't fun when you have to play defensively. It also means that you have to use the acr scar-h, or an m16and stoppong power to be good in the game, and I dont like that.The whole multiplayer is just based on reaction time, and that is not fun either.

Also, you have the people who have to glitch or abuse the grenade launcher to be good at that game. Nothing is more frustrating than when your right about to get the kill just to have the guy turn around and noob tube you. Then there is the glitches, such as the javelin glitch or the care package glitch, however IW is actually doing something about that, so it isn't as much of a problem now. Lastly, there are the killstreaks. When peoplee get more kills with killstreaks than with actually shooting people, there is a problem.

MW2 has a lot of problems, but its still a great game, with huge amount of potential. If IW would have just increased the recoil on guns, I think they can solve so many problems, such as camping.

I'm not saying that the first MW is better than this one, but the reason I stopped playing was not the gameplay mechanics, it was the community. Yes there are all of these glitches and things, but who and the hell figured some of these things out? It isn't like the care package glitch or getting on top of levels and things are REALLY obvious things to do. Someone had to sit there and think "what can I do to be able to cheat to win?" It is THAT mentality that made me quit playing. It seems that a lot of the community has to either cheat (glitches and exploits) or cheap (noob tube with danger close and one man army) to get kills. Just look at the leader boards. People with billion kill streaks and the hacker k/d. The first legit person on any part of the leaderboards are thousands upon thousands down. I mean I have to give it up to people like bungie that don't take any of that crap and look to get rid of players like that in their game instead of IW who just sits idley by and lets it happen. The same people that found the glitches and exploits now are going to be the same ones to find the new ones later....unless we get rid of them.

Calm down a little. Which game one prefers is really an opinion, and you can't prove someone wrong for disagreeing with you on this matter (just like I can't prove you wrong for preferring MW2). I don't even believe you have much to complain about, most of the gaming community agrees wth you - there are about 5 times as many people playing MW2 than there are playing MW1 (this is just a guess, don't call me out on this).

My main reason for liking MW1 rather than MW2 is that I have alot more fun with it. I enjoy the feel of the game more (it uses a different engine from MW2), the layout, the weapons, the maps, etc. I think it's pretty much a perfect game and there isn't a single thing I'd change about it. While I play shooters mostly for the multiplayer, there were a good few missions on MW1 I had fun playing, similar to the campaign on Halo I'm playing these days and having fun with. With MW2, I just couldn't wait for it to be over. The only reason I go online with it is to play with my friends.

For what it's worth, I'm a good deal better at MW1 than MW2. Make of that what you will.

I just wished my friends still played MW1 :(

The maps in COD4 are better, thats whats most important to me. Also, i don't really know how to describe it but the guns just feel better. They feel too light or something when you fire them in MW2. Not that im complaining, i only play bad company these days anywayAnjunaddict

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]Too noob friendly. Just feel that MW1 required more skill.DavidToolMusic

lol any one that was good at MW1 found that this game was to easy. In MW1 was a pain to beat on veterin including the mile highclub. People like me and probably everyone else felt that all the challenge was taken out of MW2. Now as for online the only noob thing that was taken out was the gernades that flew accross the field but thats it. And they added a whole new amount of noobish crud in there. But Ill give credit to infinity ward for fixing the fact that now when the host leaves the game doesnt end. To me I have to look at them as two completly different games that are both respected and bashed on for certain things. And just a little advice, accept peoples oppinion cause everyone knows the difference between fact and opinion and Mw2 being better then cod 4 is an opinion and viceversa

wasnt this a mass effect topic ? why are all the mw fan boys talking about call of duty :S

lmao what a retard . i appologise i didnt read the posts propperly . i came on to post on mass effect topicand i must of just read wrong sorry

MW1>MW2 easily
