[QUOTE="billyd5301"]

Heart of the Reich was the first time inthe last15 years my controller almost got destroyed. Challange is good. Endless grenades dropping on you with endlessly spawning enemies throwing them is bad. I read a gamefaqs vet guide after dying 20 times and it said 90% of people would not get passed that point. I thought they were being dramatic, but they weren't. That made Mile High Club looks like a cake walk.

I agree, at least with Mile High Club you could learn from yourself to get better at completing, with that it is no skill just hope the grenades land in the right spots. I beat both but was more satisfied with MHC knowing it was skill that got me through not dumb luck. Amirite?

In my opinion you are totally right. I have to say I was HAPPIER I beat HotR because I honestly was doubting if I was going to be able to, but like you said, I got lucky, the grenades landed in the right spots and I hit a checkpoint. MHC required a certain degree of luck, but it was minimal. With enough knowledge of who was where doing what, and the skill to execute it, it is very doable. I am definitely more proud of MHC because I would say HotR is about 95% luck 5 % skill, and MHC is about the total opposite. As for the controller, I still have a SNES with yellow tape holding it together to remind me that's not the way to do.

Agreed.


I hate to go off topic, but it seems to me that the launch controller that I have gotten with the system is the one that works best/still works. For every system I still own and play from the SNES to the N64 to the 360. I wonder why that is, no controllers I get are aftermarket (except the Mad Katz controllers for the GCN that are simply better than the originals).

I don't think any of the ideas that they came up with are stupid. They want the people that aren't good in multiplayer FPS games to have fun and maybe enjoy the game.

It'snice to go off topic in this thread. This thread has been around for 3 days and the OP hasn't been around since he created it. And the whole thing is based on a matter of opinion anyway, so you can either drop your e*balls on the table and have a stroke about the pros and cons of perks, or have fun going off topic. Speaking of, I'm kind of glad this doesn't have Nazi Zombies. Saves me from spending $10 on some DLC just for a zombie map.

People always talk about how unfair it is for unlockables in MP especially CoD4/MW2 because good players have even better weapons.

I disagree, am I the only one that thought the learning curve in CoD4 was rather fair? I didn't have a hard time jumping in and not feeling overwhelmed.

Personally I like the idea. Like WoW, if someone wants to be a loser and play CoD for 16 hours a day they should be rewarded for that. As long as big guy gets less points for killing little guy, and little guy gets more points for killing big guy, it all evens out in the end.

Let get me something straight across the table it' s AN AUTHENTHICGAME not a realistic one if you want realism go play ArmA II or wait for Operation Flashpoint and leave Call of Duty alone by trying to be the "cool, controversial, minority".

I like how people complain before the game comes out. The truth is that if you haven't played it then you don't know jack about it. You obviously like the seris or you wouldn't try to bad mouth it. I bet you buy this game, and complain about it more but play it everyday.

Sorry, but what makes it arcady? I'm not trying to be a dbag i just never understand this statement.

The best definition I can give you would be that arcade means "over the top". Simulation is the opposite of arcade. Examples would be Madden = simulation, NFL Blitz = arcade. Grand Turismo = simulation, Twisted Metal = arcade. It doesn't have to be that extreme but it it just has to not be realistic.

I get that I guess, that makes sense. But what in the hell about MW2 looks arcady lol. The only thing that reminds me of an arcade game is in non hardcore how the points pop up when you get kills and whatnot lol.

Arcade in this sense and arcade in the sense of actual arcade games don't have much to do with each other here. What he is saying about being arcady is basically that the perks are going to make it over the top. He is saying CoD is going from more of a simulation type of shooter to a more Haloish kind of shooter.

IW has made 3 games correct?

Call of Duty 1: 70 GotY awards and 50 editor's choice awards, 93% Metacritic.

Call of Duty 2: First 360 game to sell 1 million copies, 89% Metacritic.

Call of Duty 4: 13 million copies sold...Actually THIS sums it up well, 94% Metacritic.

So, after this short history of AMAZING games, why are people suddenly doubting IW? Did they become too popular and now people have to hate them for it?

Seriously, wait until they screw up to hate on them.

Great points, I was sold on IW after playing the original CoD on the PC years back, however I would love to see them work on something different after MW2.

So it's not okay for the OP to voice concerns about a game, but the million posts saying "i can't wait for santa to bring me borderlands because it looks sooooo awesome" are okay?

I'm sure that the developers, who just happen to have a success rate of about 100% with Call of Duty games, are going to completely, and purposely ruin this game. I mean, come on.. Adding more features? Really? This game is going to suck! I wish they would have just packaged a copy of COD4 and took out all the perks that everyone says made it great. That would be the best game EVER!! I can't wait for it to flop just so they can release the next one with NO new features. Who want's to buy this game anyway? I heard like no one pre ordered it lolz.

Personally, I like the idea of getting extra health if you die to many times. It helps those out who are new to the game.

And I love everything I've seen so far, I can't wait!!!

The more awesome crap they can pack into MW2 the better. I don't care about realism nearly as much as sheer fun. I've never played a agme in my adult life and actually lost touch of reality anyway. Just make it damn fun.

If you don't like the added features to the multiplayer, just play offline and single player mode. If you truely are a fan of CoD these minor additions should'nt affect you at all.

You mention the deathstreaks as a negative. Actually it's to show how skilled you are... if you keeping the same guy and get ten kills you get a bunch of perks, while the guy who died 10x in a row gets a perk to help him stand up to you. If you're still able to kill him with his upgrades/perks then you're the man, but if the boost helps him enough to kill you then it did it's job to stop your spree. It's all about balance which I think will make this game much more fun than Modern Warfare Part 1.

What? Are you insane? This is madness.. THIS. IS. INFINITY WARD. Seriously, they want their games to be balanced out. You would want someone with the riot shield, running around with an Assualt Rifle? I expect you to say no. If not, then why? It would be pointless, too much noobs would be using it. I don't understand why they're putting silencers on Shotguns, but hey, stealthy>noticed.

true that very rediculous looking...but thats still not gonna stop people from buying it...

but i see your point it seems like the develepors spend 99.9% percent of there time on the multiplayer...thats all fine and good...

if they would of tweak it a little and i o mean a little...not completely...

and pesonally the campaign doesnt look as good or as emersive as the first....simply beacause its overshadowed by the mutiplayer...

OK, I got you, it's probably because everyone knows how the campaign works and showing off more footage is like giving away spoilers. I don't need to see any videos of it. I know it will be sick.

MW 2 will still prolly be great bcus ppl didnt mind too much about juggernauts and other crap in the first one. and btw i dont think developers will be tht dumb to just allow players to keep killing thmselves and getting advantages. surely thre must be a price.
