Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Fletch]

Half the people that complain about this game though complain about camping with tubes from a distance while the other half seems to complain about rushing with the UMP or OP secondary shotguns and commando. Don't these things kind of counter-act each other? I'm lost.

 

[Pikaville]

Nothing else bothers me about this game.

Only people who abuse the RPG/tube.

Everything else you have to do a bit of work for at least.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

Strange that you say that you don't run into tubes too often in Search, Pikaville, because I run into tubes all the time in search to the point where I refuse to play it anymore.

I don't let this game bother me anymore. There's a lot of stuff that I think should have never been in this game in the first place, or even thought of, honestly. One hit kill Melee, SoH Pro, Marathon, Commando, Lightweight, Lightweight Pro, One Man Army, I could go on and on. But I have about 25 days played in this game on PS3 alone, maybe 30 if you include Xbox time at my friend's house. If it wasn't for school, I'd easily have double that. I still enjoy this game to this day, and apparently, so do a lot of other people, as it's still the second most played game on Xbox.

 

[:mad:]

Ok fine I got infracted for my "lol u mad" but can't tell me to shut up like that xD(Also it was a joke)

But this is a thread about CoD, I'm allowed ***** all I want about any aspect of it.

So I reiterate, noob tubes are used by 50 % of players.(Unless your playing S&D)

Also, RPG, Danger close, scavenger people are scum too.

I can't say it in a polite way? It's really irritating to see nothing but complaints every time which could be seen as spamming, since you're posting the same thing every time. That's a rough estimate and completely untrue, it's prominent in objective gametypes but saying never in SnD is just wrong. RPGs, Danger Close and Scavenger are a balanced combo, dunno why you would think otherwise.

what's wrong with SoH pro?

Yup. The Sniper is ******** in MW2. I don't enjoy using it anymore.

 

[:mad:]

Icy and I made knifing only accounts and it's MADDDD fun.

MLC I take it? You using tact knife or akimbo USPs?

You've reiterated things plenty of times though

RPG, danger close and scav on levels like Scrapyard,Skidrow,Vacant and Trailer Park are FAR from balanced.

With regards to S&D tubing I just mean it's a lot less frequent than other playlists.

Got a free one month of Xbox Live on it, think the first 3 accounts you make get it. I'm running USP no attachments until I get my Tac Knife on the Magnum. Akimbo takes too long to get because I need friends with USP Tac Knife.

The things I've talked about are usually positive and add something to the conversation. You just rant about tubes and commando and everything bad about it. Just saying, bro, I usually link people to videos or talk about some interesting or fun things you can do.

Explosives on those maps are completely balanced. Explain to me why they aren't, please.

 

[Fletch]

When I said MLC I meant are you running Marathon/Lightweight/Commando

 

[F8AL]

That's correct. Each 360 console comes with three "1 month Xbox LIVE gold trials" for creating a new GT.

You guys could just bypass all that nonsense by getting a PS3

 

[Delta-cod]

Maybe we actually want a good console. =O

 

[:mad:]

You're pretty much obligated to use it for challenges and whatnot, and it helps on maps like Legoland and Karachi.

Delta speaks SO MUCH TRUTH.

 

[Pikaville]

I personally don't think commando is that broken.In fact I'm not sure I've ever complained about it.

RPG w/danger close + scav>make educated guess to possible location of enemy>fire RPG>kill everything in that building/room/area>scavenge ammo>repeat.

Like fair enough it reloads kinda slow but it's ordinance is insane.

Smaller maps have stupidly predictable spawns.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what we call substance abuse.

 

[:mad:]

Legoland is Quarry.

 

[Delta-cod]

Commando is like, the third best tier three perk. SitRep Pro is probably the best perk in the game.

Any word on this coming to PS3 as well? I might pick up the second one if it goes to half price, and that would give me some incentive to start playing again.

Nothing yet but if I hear anything, I'll post it here. I don't see why they can't do it for all platforms.

Now for a week, the map packs aren't over priced.

Edit: They are now discounted on Steam/PS3.

Does anybody else really like Barebones?

I was at a friends lastnight and I was playing it, it's kinda nice to know that no crap is gonna come out of the air and kill you, just straight up shooting/awareness.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I enjoy barebones. Fun stuff.

Don't forget the noobtubes. And the boosters, lots of those.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Actually I like boosters, its funny to kill them especially because you know you just pissed them off.

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Hate to say it, but this game is much less frustrating than reach is at the moment and I'm enjoying myself a lot more now. So much easier to play by yourself and I'm actually good at it.

And one more thing. Famas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UMP

They're about even, but I give the edge to the UMP because of its versatility. Missed bursts with the FAMAS are no good, not to mention not needing stopping power.

hahahahahahahahah people playing this game.

MW2-RIP
<3 new smileys

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

I'm pretty accurate, so I rarely miss with the Famas. It destroys the UMP at medium/long range, which is most important in my opinion, and it's virtually always a single burst. Close range is the only problem, but honestly it's not that hard to get around that.

I often find myself pumping UMP shots into people without any luck. Although 3 bullets isn't many to kill, it's still a lot considering almost all the ARs kill in two shots. The UMP has its advantages, but if you're a smart player the Famas will always outclass it if you ask me.

Also, I'm pretty sure there's more people playing this than Reach. Every time I go on MW2 it has at the very least 25k more people playing than Reach, which is a lot of people. I'm a bit disappointed to say this, but only under very specific conditions is Reach fun to me. It's really not fun for me, but I'm a CoD fan, so there's no surprise there I guess.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I can usually hit someone up close if I need to with the famas. Imo it's a somewhat versatile weapon that usually gets the job done.

If you say the ARs kill in 2 bullets, then I can say the UMP does too since you're using SP on the ARs for that effect.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

If you say the ARs kill in 2 bullets, then I can say the UMP does too since you're using SP on the ARs for that effect.

I guess the only thing I'm trying to say is that although the UMP is very versatile and powerful, it's easily outclassed in many areas by other guns. A little elaboration is probably necessary though, just so I don't sound stupid.

-UMP without SP, which most people use, takes 3 bullets to kill up close. Even though it's an SMG, up close it can be terrible against someone with a Scar/Tar with SP if you don't have SP on it. If you put SP on the UMP, against the guns mentioned above, to me it just evens the playing field, making it no better than those guns.

-It's garbage at long range. It has no idle sway, but that doesn't mean it's good at long range. If I'm shooting you across wasteland with a Famas, I'll most likely kill you before you can shoot me more than once with a UMP. Same goes for medium range shots. Even though the UMP is good at medium range, I usually find myself losing those battles for various reasons.

It's a very situational gun if you ask me. It's good at close range assuming you get the first shot off, especially if you have SP, but at medium/long range against other guns I just can't seem to see how it can compare. Depends on the situation a lot, I know, but in terms of damage and accuracy, I'd rather have a gun like the Famas that is near perfect over medium/long range as opposed to a gun like the UMP that although can be used at all distances, is really only especially good at closer ranges.

I like to relate it to Mario Tennis 64. You can choose a character with power, speed, technique, or all around. If you choose a character with power, you're going to lack in some other areas, being the Famas. However if you use all around, being the UMP, you get the best of both worlds, but you're not specifically good in any area, just all around decent. In CoD, I'd rather have quick, accurate killing power, as opposed to having a UMP which is useful in many areas, but still lacking at the same time. If you were to have perfect aim with the Famas, you'd always beat someone that had perfect aim with the UMP.

It's so hard for me to explain, but this is the best I could do. XD Not to mention, tons of this stuff is situational, which I'm aware of. All personal opinion, but I think the Famas is one step above the UMP. Rant over.
