i hate derial to. but i figure out just camp their spawn in tdm.

Here I linked the image so no one has to copy/paste :)

All of the maps are pretty bad. None of them can even compare to CoD4's.

Too true.

Who in there right mind thought up this map...

its my fav map

I hate all of them except for high rise, scrapyard and wasteland...don't worry we'll get more maps soon, and they better be COD 4 maps lol.:P

the only map i hate with a passion is rust, its so stupid, oh lets have 12 people in a map that barely holds 4-DirtySanchez-

i kinda like derail. i hate the distance you have to sprint and when you eventually get there some sniper spots you and you have to do it all again, and then theres the dark camping spots and the sneaky model 1887 akimbo users who always get you. ok i hate it, i lied. i like a couple of maps but most of them annoy me. i only ever played cod4 once after i played mw2 so i couldnt get into it.

Someone who didn't care about the quality of the game because they knew sites would overrate it due to hype, and they knew 5 million+ would buy the game.

That's what happens when you overrate a game. COD4 got Top 25 in GameInformer's Top 200, seriously? Apparently it did more for console FPS than Halo CE.

Let this be a lesson, do not overhype and place developers on a pedastal that they do not belong on.

Scavenger + HeartBeat Sensor + Claymores makes your ideal gameplay useless.

If I wanted to I could get a Nuke every game easily with:

Primary: M16/ACR with Heartbeat Sensor
Secondary: Akimbo Model 1887
Special Nades: Stun Grenades
Equipment: Claymores
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro
Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro
Perk 3: Ninja Pro
Deathstreak: Lol, because I'm going to die right?

Killstreaks: Harrier -> Chopper Gunner -> Nuke

I only have to work for maybe 10-12 kills with that killstreak setup. But to further disprove your ideal gameplay, I've done it before with:

Pavelow -> EMP -> Nuke

Most of the kills come from people trying to flank me. Almost nobody uses Ninja but for those that do, I have this thing called eyes so I see them anyway. Anyone that tries to come from behind runs into my perfectly placed Claymores. Rinse and repeat.

The game is far too simple and for you to basically say it's more complex than COD4 is laughable.

Being spawned way away from the action on Derail can be annoying, sure, but overall, I love the map. There's lots of ways to get from Point A to Point B, and I dont know what I'm doing differently, but I dont have a huge problem with snipers on the map.I thinkwith the long distances and large area to cover, it seems that snipers have their work cut out, making it easier to cross that large middle area without too much danger.

I'm definitely a run-and-gun player, and there's no reason you cant do well with that playstyle here. Snipers are a threat on most maps, you just have to know the sniper spots and ensure you're not mindlessly running into a danger zone.

[QUOTE="wwervin"]I just hope they give us some decent dlc. Something tells me the maps were made terrible on purpose to force us to buy into their dlc.ThePRAssassin

So you'll buy the maps if they're decent? Wow.

DLC should not be supported if the original maps suck. Whatever..continue to send out a message that says "hey, we're too stupid so we'll keep supporting your garbage game because it plays itself for me!"

Since most of you are too slow, the message you are sending out is "hey, release terrible maps initially and then release 3 average maps for $10 and we'll buy it!"

You can quit acting so condescending, man. Not everybody is some god like you and can get 25 killstreaks at will.

I think most people complain about which maps they like/dont like based on what they are good at/not good at. People tend to like maps they do well on, and if they dont tend to do well, they dont like it. Kinda natural to feel that way, but probably not something that people will openly admit.

And I for one, WILL buy DLC for MW2. I love the game anddont find most ofthese exaggerated claims of issues and balance reasonable(I think its also becoming *popular* to hate on MW2). I like the maps for the most part(which is the most I can say for just about any shooter - none have 10/10 maps across the board) and I'd like more.

If you dont like the maps, then dont buy them. But for those who dont have the same issues as you, we will buy them. And it will send the message to Activision that not everybody agrees with you.

Yeah, Estate is the only one I really despise.

I hate Derail because it's simply too wide open and sniper friendly. There is absolutely no way for you to go from one side of the map to the other without getting killed on several attempts.

^^ To sum up what he just said: "Ha ha ha.. I'm amazing at MW2.. look how special I am. I'm putting you down for thinking it's more complex than CoD4! Ha ha ha!" Seriously, the maps are more complex. Like I said in an earlier post, more vertical. Means more people camp higher up now.. or lower, depending where you are. All in all it's annoying. Not to mention many of the maps on this game are terrible. Not saying CoD4 maps were better, but these could've been better. I just hope they give us some decent dlc. Something tells me the maps were made terrible on purpose to force us to buy into their dlc.wwervin

They are better, actually. They were a lot smaller, but that's really for the better. You can actually run for 5 seconds without worrying about getting sniped or killed by campers from several windows. I mean seriously, what's the point of being able to sprint if all that's going to do is get you killed?

Oh yeah, I made a bet with my brother that the first DLC will just be maps from CoD 4. :lol:

yeah I also hate derail, I cant wait till new maps come out lol.

Gears 2 did that, and I didn't see anyone complaining about it. :?

lol...kinda like snowbound...everyone hates it

Although MW2's maps are far more intricate than those in CoD4, they are mostly all camper-friendly maps that reward players for being lazy buggers who peer out windows for the whole game. That said, I'm sorry to say that I've had to resort to this tactic often on pretty much every map but Sub Base and Scrapyard, on which it's only used every once in a while.

Now compare that to Halo 3 which both rewards campers but still makes it a manageable task to take one out even with a head-on assault.

Meh I dislike most of the maps but I find this one to be alright.

Derail is my least favorite map

If you hate derail dont play the map simple as that in a game u wont like everything about it...

Mostof the map's suck in this game, CoD 4 had amazing maps. And yes Derail is one of the worst maps.
