[QUOTE="dkjestrup"]The gameplay of this game is almost perfect. What sucks is: Killstreaks OMA/Danger Close/Noobtubes/Propipes Commando. You take the cheap stuff out and I'd buy the game.Episode_Eve

Well, I don't think killstreaks are so bad when they're easy to take out and even hide from. Danger Close can be somewhat abated with the Blast Shield equipment. Noobtubes could be a problem in other games as well, Bad Company 2 included (Assaults can camp while replenishing their own ammo; just as bad as OMA).

One Man Army and Commando should be banished from the game though lol!

And Commando is the dumbest thing in the world. I think its OK to not take damage from falls with commando pro. But lunging farther is just stupid. I think there should be a perk that makes it so it takes 2 knife stabs or cuts to kill you. That way it could protect you against that crap!

I love both of these games though. I like to go back and forth :).

The game is hated on because people seriously arn't that great at it. People claim you can only be good if you camp, yet a more "strategic" and highly acclaimed game like Bad Company 2 has more campers than a weekend at boyscout camp.

People say imbalance in weapons, which is present in almost every online shooter, and people will rage-type auto-aim, when it's available to EVERYONE, and in no way gives any one player a better edge than another. The real reason people hate MW2: People arn't that good at it, or need to learn to play the game differently. Don't say camping in a game is boring, and camp the whole match. Don't say run n' gun is boring, and run n' gun the whole way.With so many perks/weapons/attachments, choose the way YOU like to play, and make it work.

[QUOTE="Raidenheart"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]I'm going to say it:Modern Warfare 2 is an amazing video game.I don't even play the damn game, but I do respect what it is.

At the outset I hated on it just as many do here in SW and in the 'core' gaming community. I complained about the Killstreaks. I whined about the 'unbalanced' perks. I was just another follower who fell into the whole 'Activision sucks so therefore I hate MW2' or 'MW2 is not a true sequel. This lasted for a couple of weeks, until I actually paid close attention to the game. You know things like: what it actually offers and the steps Infinity Ward took in order to balance the Killstreaks and Perks. And next I realized, "How many sequels are true sequels to begin with?". Every dev isn't the amazing Naughty Dog.

Themultiplayer game design isn't perfect. No game is. But MW2 does one thing right. For every perk there is a perk that counters, except Commando. Killstreaks, believe it or not, are very easy to take down. The Killstreaks UAV, Harrier, Chopper Gunner, Pavelow, and Attack Helicopter can all be taken down in a single Stinger shot (you have Overwatch cIass available from the start of the game). Killstreaks AC130 can be taken out with 3 Stinger missiles. Would you like to know how? Teamwork. For a game where gamers complain of 'no teamwork' - and the opportunity of 'teamwork' presents itself, then the Killstreak system is all of a sudden 'too powerful'. There's also the Cold Blooded perk that prevents Killstreaks from even seeing you.

Single player is the other component that gets a slamming. It's not that great. There are laughable plot points and it's rather short. Butwhat video game in a first-person-shooter this generation has an amazing single player campaign, while at the same time sports a top-of-the-line multiplayer? Chances are, there are VERY few out there for you to find. Again, not every developer can do what Naughty Dog did.NAUGHTY DOG For The Mutha F****** WIN!

Another great thing about MW2 is that its fast paced. 60 frames per second and controls like a charm. Because of this,reflexes and quick thinking are rewarded. Levels are multi-tiered which provide variety in traversing each map. There are many hiding spots. Platforming is a big mechanic that works very well in MW2. Due to this, the player is given a chance to showcase their 'map memory' ability and 'area scanning' capability. Contrary to what some people believe, its not a run-and-gun shooter. It's quite tactical. Especially on objective based game modes. At the same time, its not the most tactical shooter out there.

Modern Warfare is officially themost clowned-on game this generation. Maybe because of its unprecedented popularity. Maybe because of Activision's CEO. Maybe because of glitches that weren't ironed out by a much needed beta that didn't happen. Maybe because some gamers believe its not a 'true sequel'. It's slammed more than Halo, Mario, and Killzone.There's such hardcore disdain for MW2. Much of the dislike is unwarranted in my eyes. It's truly a game that everyone can hate on since it is multiplat. I have much faith in this:If Modern Warfare 2 was exclusive to one platform, it's faults would most likely be overlooked, and everything it does right would be amplified with praise.

Well... I just think that more people should give this a chance. Unless you legitimately dislike shooters in general. To me, Modern Warfare is a game that isoverrated by the gaming pressandunderrated by core gamers. For me the pro's outweigh the cons big time.TREAL_Since

Commando is a piece of trash.... but overpowered melee kills are a riddance in shooters today in general. And when a developer makes it more difficult to attain melee kills - BAD COMPANY 2 - people still complain!

One Man Army is out of place for sure. It shouldn't exist lol. Alot of games have standout equipment or mechanics that seem unbalanced. MW2 isn't the exception.

The game doesn't reward teamwork all of the time, but teamwork is required to win many matches. Obviously in team deathmatch one player could win for his team - because it's called team deathmatch. I've done it many times in Gears of War and Killzone 2 as well. I've seen countless games of Domination, Demolition, and Headquarters where a player has 60 kills and 5 deaths, and their team still lost. There are cases where relying on kills will lose you the game. 8 times out of 10 you have to utilize teamwork if you want to win those objective based modes. This is from my experience. Out of millions of online players this may vary.

Put Cold Blooded on if you want to be invisible to Killstreaks (actually its not always necessary). You have 5+ custom slots to choose from. And if your 'team' co-ordinates on which role each individual plays, then all is good. If you happen to die, simply switch to a cIass with stinger. One shot kill for most killstreaks. If your team is getting dominated by another player, believe me I've seen it way to many times - yall are just doing it wrong. The main complaint is spawn kills I know, but most spawning points aren't predictable. If you're getting demolished by another player guess what you have to do? Co-ordinate with your team and take him out. They give you Killcam for a reason. This gives team mates a chance to notify each other - team work.

Community is a key factor in online games. MW2 has so many players that there are bound to get matched with all kinds of KDR freaks and individualistic players. You'll also find players who like to win in other ways - like communicating. If you create party with your buddies I'm sure many people would have a great time.

You can read my previous post as to why I give credit to this game concerning 'depth'. I just look at what the game offers and play to its strengths.

Microsoft should do this!

Overall this update sounds very nice. I'll play around with the photo / video editor tomorrow :P.

Microsoft will win E3 if they focus ONLY on this game :D

Looks good. But all the fps on consoles will play it for a little then run back to cod and battlefield.
