How is MW1 better than MW2? NO WAY

MW2 had the potential to be better then CoD4 multiplayer, but fell flat on it' s face by going overboard.

- Dual shotguns and smg' s was just a stupid idea.

- The ridiculous killstreaks, such as the nuke,promote camping.

- Being able to have a shotgun as a secondary weapon promotes camping.

- The noob tubes and claymores get ridiculous combined with scavenger because they pretty much have infinite grenades and claymores.

- They still kept stopping power but took out juggernaut so there' s no counter to stopping power.

- SMG' s are useless which alienates SMG players such as myself from the game.

- The pentration system is reduced to garbage even with FMJ.

- Matchmaking always sepearates a party.

and last but not least

- No Xbox Live Party Chat which is really annoying and was a dumb move.

I think I' ll just wait for BFBC2.

i have played through the campaign in both, got 1000/1000 in mw1. played mw1 mp for about 7 1/2 days, mw2 for about 3 1/2 days. i think i can make the judgement that mw1 is much better.

why? mw2 was overdone, unncessary amount of kill streaks and features, which ruined the balancing of it. people who defend mw2 probably act like the people fans of mw1 hate. mw2 is geared towards the more casual player, it rewards you for doing bad for god's sake.

this video sums up all the problems of mw2 well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoyyFC96r0U

I swear they have nerfed pistols, the usp used to be like a 2HK, but it seems to be taking 5+ hit markers to kill, does anyone agree?

MW2 is more noob friendly, this is because IW wants to make as much money as possible so they had to make it easier for the noobs.

Here are some points:

• Bullets kill faster in MW2
• If you die 3x in a row then you are invincible for 10 seconds if you have pain killer enabled
• If you manage to get a four kill streak you have the opportunity to get a chopper gunner which in return can get you about 15 kills
• All of the killstreaks are overpowered
• They balance the teams by k/d ratio which really sucks for people like me who have really high k/d's because I have to deal with the kids who go 2-31
• Maps have more depth than in the last game which makes it way easier to camp
• Kill streaks go after people with higher k/d's so that keeps them pre-occupied and lets the less skilled people rack up kills on the noobier people
• Things like heartbeat sensors make it much easier to camp
• Scavenger gives you basically infinite explosives

And, things that are broken in the game

• Akimbo weapons (in general not just the shotguns)
• All of the mods and other exploits in the game
• SPAWNS
• How they attempt to balance everything out, such as danger close and whatever the name of the anti explosive perk is
• Nuke boosters
• Commando, the knifing distance was already pushing it in cod4 and now it is beyond ridiculous, especially the people with the "knifing classes."

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure there are plenty more things that are broken in MW2. I stopped playing months ago, except sometimes I'll play a private match with my friends if none of them want to play cod4. Oh and I find myself dying more by k/s than actual players (And I know I can shoot them down/ use cold-blooded but I don't think I should have to considering that in cod4 I didn't have to worry about a pave low shooting me through walls.

I think it's just a matter of opinion.

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:

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

OP - why ask qustions you have no interest in hearing the answer to? Great, you love the game, and by now you know a whole lot of people do not. If you are merely interested in stating your opinion and disagreeing with everyone who tries to answer your question with their own opinion, then you should consider writing a blog next time instead of a thread. There's really nothing to discuss if you are merely interested in saying "no way."

I think Mw2 is better than mw1 because of the things u get to do. Mw1 also of course had somewhat poor grafics. I like MW2 because of the new material as well like at the end or the museum level.DJ082863

I just jumped on cod4 after 2 months of mw2 and I must say it takes more skill and is fun

I stopped playing it after the first week because I didn't like it as much of the first one. There were a number of things I didn't like about it but I cant really remember all of them. I know one thing was the guns were stupid and forgettable. I mean the AK was a level 70 gun.Ugalde-

[QUOTE="DranzarTypeF"][QUOTE="RockysCatnipCo"]The people that say this are usually the ones that aren't getting a lot of kills. Why would you complain if you're doing good because of it being "noob friendly?"RockysCatnipCo

Death streaks are pretty useless so i don't see why you're complaining about those. Also, calling dual shotguns noob weapons is pretty dumb considering you have to level up quite a bit to get them.RockysCatnipCo

Maybe because it is? No deathstreaks, simple killstreaks, less glitches, better maps, better guns.... The list goes on and on.

I can agree with this even though I like mw1 more. I just think the story was random and didnt peice together to well

I play MW 1 on occasion, and I also play the second and friend's houses, IMO, MW2 wasn't even very fun, even if you are winning or not. I'm not a fanboy of Halo or any other, I just didnt like the terribly short campaign, and the same multiplayer as COD4 with some add ons.

[QUOTE="RockysCatnipCo"][QUOTE="DranzarTypeF"]I'm pretty sure by "noob friendly" he means dual shot guns and kill streak rewards for playing bad, the "noobs" or casuals are catching breaks which is why people complain...duh ?DranzarTypeF

its official: MW2 SUCKS

All the hardcore "elite" people think it's geared a little more to casual players then to people with skill. I don't really know what they are talking about, COD4 has plenty of nooby stuff and MW2 is just more fun to play.

After reading this whole thread I came to the conclusion that DavidToolMusic is a tool.

I just like playing games... keep em coming!

I love the fact that people have their opinions and all, but I'll share mine. Modern Warfare 2 is good, don't misunderstand me. However, has anyone ever heard of the term, "too much in a game?" I now that I have and I feel that Modern Warfare 2 is a perfect example of that. It's fun, filled with action, great graphics, good campaign, etc, but it feels to me like it has too much going on. When I play the MP, there not only seems to be more camping going on but since there are so many classes, weapons, and perks, I feel more confused than anything. Maybe it's because I'm not the best at the game, I don't know. But I remember playing the original Modern Warfare and it didn't seem so difficult and crazy. I feel that the original was better, but the new one is still great.

[QUOTE="sk8erwarlock"][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.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its amazing how much hate there is between the two games, you think people have invested in the actual game and any negative comments will hurt the stock prices...lol the war between CoD and Halo has been postponed due to a civil war :Pchaoscougar1

PS i think Battlefield will probably join the war as well

MW1 multiplayer is more challenging well for me anyway but MW2 is alot better in my opinion lots more to do with the special ops etc and on the multiplayer it's easier to tell who's who with earning titles etc makes people stand out more if you get what i'm saying ...plus with all the extra stuff equipment emergency drops etc alot more fun online
