The campaign is just a mess. *Spoilers* There are so many plot holes I just can't believe it, here are just a FEW of them:
The Story First couple of plot holes is the airport scene. Makerov is a well known international terrorist (essentially the Osama Bin Laden of the day), yet for the airport attack, he doesn't wear a mask. Don't Russian airports have security cameras? I mean honestly, this man is one of the most wanted people on the face of the earth yet no one bothered to look at the security tapes to see him walking around the airport with an M240?
Shepard says that he lost 30,000 men 5 years ago when Al Asad detonated the nuke wiping out the invading troops in his capital city. However, to those of you who don't remember, that was a Marine assault on the city, and Sheppard is an Army General. So, while I can understand him being mad about it, him saying they were his troops isn't true, unless of course he changed service branches and managed to work his way to General in 5 years time.
The Russians have a firm grip on DC, yet the military's plan isn't to launch a strong counter-attack to retake the city, instead they're going to just carpet bomb the crap out of it? How does that make any sense? In doing so they would destroy things such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, not to mention the White House and Capitol building.
There are many more I can think of that are smaller, such as when you are in Brazil, and when you chase the guy who shot your driver into the streets, CARS AND EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE! HOW THE HELL? The person has a Desert Eagle! Not a rocket launcher.
The Multiplayer
Infinity Ward really effed with the MP big time. There are some MAJOR balancing issues.
Killstreaks influence camping, especially the nuke and chopper gunner.
Maps are absolutely TERRIBLE, and they influence even more camping because each and every one of them have like 5 doorways to every house, 17 windows, and a million vantage points. Coupled with messed up spawns, this just turns into a random mess where gun fights last half a second with the insane power of every single gun (although assault rifles still beat EVERYTHING).
Care Packages give people AC-130's for 4 kills in S&D. Annoying as hell because the person DID NOT deserve it.
Killstreaks carry over in S&D. This is more of a traditional thing.
Assault rifles are death machines. 0 recoil, extreme power and accuracy. They basically make every other gun useless, especially the SCAR-H and ACR.
Sniping has been ruined because of the assault rifles, witch can essentially do EVERYTHING better than ANY OTHER type of gun.
Some secondary weapons (Model 1887's, PP2000) are rediculous. They have as much power as primary weapons. The 1887's have EXTREMELY INSANE RANGE FOR A SHOTGUN (they may have patched the Akimbo ones, but if you put FMJ on with Akimbo it's range is back to normal!). Terrible!
There is so much more to say, but I will wait for people to reply...
In conclusion, this game is just a noob-friendly mess. IW ignored their actual fanbase, and got greedy. All we wanted was COD4 with the major problems fixed and with better maps, weapons, story, graphics and game modes in general.
Umm no buddy this review was trash. You write like a 10 year old. There are some flaws but people dont really mind them. You are just a whining little baby. I loved getting shot by the model 1887's. Assault rifles are supposed to be all purpose weapons,I snipe all the time man i get 20+ kills, of course secondary weapons need power would you want a pistol that takes 50 shots to kill someone when they are near you? I run an gun on 805 of the maps I only camp on 2 maps. The killstreaks I know are cheap bu tI dont mind them since they last like what 30 seconds? In conclusion your review was trash, it was your opinion, it had no facts at all in it. If you want to cry go do it to your mommy, not to us.
You're right about the campaign - lots of plot holes there.
For multiplayer, you're a bit fussy about stuff in places. The care package is complete luck - you could get anything from a chopper gunner to another care package to just a few clips of ammo. It's total luck, and I've never personally seen a problem with it, though maybe I've just been lucky in that regard.
About the camping influence, it isn't going to get someone an 11 or 25 killstreak unless everyone else in the game is a total idiot, which may have happened with you before. Killcam is there for a reason. Grenade launchers aren't there just to noobtube. Sniper rifles aren't there for nothing.
About the assault rifles, I'm on the fence. Some of them are way OP, and some of them kinda suck. The M4A1 and FAMAS never seemed to get that extreme power and accuracy you speak of, especially. I've noticed that most of the quick kills with assault rifles are people with ACOG or holographic scopes that get headshots. But not always. You're right about them being OP in that regard.
The PP2000 isn't really too OP, but the M1887 is hugely OP. In my experience, at least.
you're right in some regards, but in some you just make mountains out of molehills.
stop whining like a little baby, if the game was so much trash like you say it is, then why is it the #1 most played game since it's release? I'm not a huge cod fanboy, I'm more of a halo fanboy, but mw2 really hooked me and 100's of millions of other players as well, so obviously it's not as bad as you say it is.
He's just a baby that cant take a game, I love nooobtubing and getting tubed and all that ''trashy stuff'' yall speak off it makes the game more challenging.
In COD4, the assault rifles ARE all purpose weapons, but that doesn't mean they should dominate at every range. In MW2 they DO DOMINATE IN EVERY RANGE. I have a 2.20 KDR BTW.
The ACR has NO RECOIL. There is no excuse for that. Same with the SCAR-H, witch kills in 2 shots in close range and 3 shots in long range, with Stopping Power.
The pistols are fine, however the PP2000 kills in 2-3 hits close range, and it fires extremely fast with low recoil. In some cases, it is more powerful than primary weapons, such as the Vector.
The killstreaks and Care Packages annoy the true CoD fans. This game takes no skill, as every gun kills nearly instantly (though some kill better than others). The only balanced assault rifles are the FAL, F2000, and possibly the M4.Plus the ACR can shoot across Derail with 0 recoil.
It is just messed. The maps are probably the worst thing about this game, because you sound like this game is fine. Go to the Infinity Ward official CoD forums. You WILL see how flawed this game is.
This game was so hyped up. That is why it is the #1 most played game. All of the casuals and kiddies play it (it was specifically designed for those people). People still play COD4 because they know MW2 is trash.
MW2 offers no competitivness. It is just random. Every match is random, people spawn all over the place, the maps are a cluster fuck....guns kill instantly.... Oh this game is just horrible.
I can't believe people LIKE THIS GAME. IT LAGS LIKE HELL TOO! The hitdetection is garbage, the maps are garbage, the balance is garbage, I can just run around with an LMG randomly spraying and get a Care Package, then a Chopper Gunner... And win the match.
Um, no it doesn't. It's just a quick-drawing, quick-reloading submachine gun - at close range, it'll kill in 3-5 hits if all shots hit without stopping power. It has considerable recoil and isn't effective much outside of close range. It's meant as an emergency weapon if you need to reload but don't have the time to immediately. It is slightly OP at close range, but nothing beyond that.
DoctorFunk, i respect your opinion on mw2, but now you're just starting to whine. The game is not all based on luck. Alot of the assault rifles are OP, but mw2 take more tactics than cod4. You have to be alot smarter in mw2 because you die alot faster than in cod4. In cod4, you could just run around with an mp5 and get 30 kills and 10 deaths, easy, but in mw2, if you try doing that you'll go 5 and 20, if you're inexperienced.
There are a million glitches and exploits in this game a can rant about, but look here//www.infinityward.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=13&sid=ebc1d344ed979847fee1fb172094eca7
Instead of arguing with you people ( and wasting my time) Look for the rant threads on that site, THEY ARE ALL CORRECT! I have played this game extensively so I should know.
40 damage below 20 metres, 20 damage beyond that BTW.
