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

Are you serious? CoD4's maps were too small, flat, and not to mention that each one basically came down to bottlenecks. MW2's maps are much more intricate which makes for better gameplay. You always have to be aware of flanks and you have to look up and down, not just forward.

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.

hmmm good point, maybe thats why they make crappy maps in the first place, on purpose so that all people would buy better maps in DLC.

MW2's maps are a lot more vertical it seems.. I guess it's based on your strengths. I for one hate that eveyone seems to camp on rooftops/buildings now. In the first game it was mainly run n' gun type gameplay because it was very flat. Some MW2 maps are great.. then again some of them are terrible like Derail and Estate.

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

Wakanoid

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.

Ugh, I thought I was the only one who hated this map with a passion. Not only do I spawn 36.2 lightyears away from all the action, but by the time I sprint over there (or even before) I get sniped in the face by some stupid camper sitting in the window.

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.

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 have a point there I'll give you that.. we're not exactly setting a good example by buying into their mind games.. but what else are we supposed to do? I paid 60+ for this game and I want to enjoy it to its full potential, and if that means a few extra bucks for some good content then so be it. At least they're not forcing us to pay for the new maps. Anyone recall Halo 3? That was a nightmare.. unless you constantly bought their 50 map packs you were locked out of pretty much every playlist. It was like being forced to buy extra content to play the original content it came with.

ThePRAssassin

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.

This reminds me of another stupid thing in MW2. In the snow maps, the coldest places, thermal is the least useless because everything is white?

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.

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:

I would be pissed if they were CoD4 maps. Personally, I felt like the maps on CoD4 was one of its biggest weaknesses. I even felt like WaW had better maps. Anyway, if I buy a new game and if they expect me to pay for more maps it better not be ones that I've spent literally days of game time playing on already.

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

I used to hate Derail and Estate until I realized that I always do really well on them. It is probably because those are the only maps that I don't get shot in the back on.

Derail is not the worst map. lol Estate is. Too much runinng from one side of the map to the other. I hate when ONE of my teammates is sniping ALL the way in the back. And i have to spawn back there with him lol. Annoying
