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.
I know it's not a noob tactic, I don't class anything besides tubing as a 'noob tactic'. And to reply to that, most players are smart enough to recognise there's a guy with a knife and pistol charging towards them, that does not mean they're fast enough to shoot.
Tubing is tough with the M203. Weapons that really qualify as noob tubes are weapons like the AT4. Either way, considering assault rifles only require 3 hits at close range to kill someone, shotguns only 1, and knives only 1, it is quite possible to kill a kniferunner. It's a lot easier to kill a kniferunner than it is an ARer.
In the FPS department there are FPSs that aren't CoD. *gasps from all the fanboys*
I was talking about the part of the overpowered enemies forcing you to hide in small buildings. Which COD were you talking about there? Your reply isn't related to what I said at all. >.<
uhmmm....Thats not a good way to express yourself there bud.
All im saying is I love the call of duty modern warfare2, Your just whining like crazy. I dont care if I got negative killdeath ratio or whatever because of noob toobs, ima still keep playing. And PLUS why dont you go return the game, or sell it to a friend or something if you hate it that much?
I love this game but sometimes when I shoot someone with dual G18's way before they shoot me with a USP .45, I die first. It feels like even with stopping power, all the weapons damages are equal. And suppressors take off a LOT of damage, especially for snipers. There's also a lot of campers and noob tubers.
'' omfg my m9 pistolz in real life deals 90 damage and has high firezz rateeee i pawnzz'' dude guns dont have damage percent in real life. your honestly wasting your time just argueing and trying to prove EVERYONE wrong.
Amazing arguements, Microe and Kerbyc. Apparently you have nothing to back up your argument, Kerbyc, so why don't YOU shut the hell up.
Microe, you should really just fucking kill yourself. I'm sick of hearing you type all of this stupid shit. I didn't say JACK SHIT about the M9 or damage at all, I JUST POSTED THOSE LINKS TO BACK UP MY STATEMENTS. YOU are wasting your time arguing, you say the same shit over and over.
I'll try not to prove someone wrong when they actually make a credible post.
Don't get me wrong, I exaggerated a bit. But MW2 is just mediocre. I will give it a 7.5 out of 10. It really is not that bad, but there are so many problems with the game that piss me off.
Alright there you go bud, I just proved you wrong. You said it was the worst game ever man. Now that your done whining how about you go kick some butt? Im level 70 1st prestiege and Im wrecking in this game. MC MICROE is my gt if anyone has it for the 360, i play hardcore, if anyone wants to play hit me up.
