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 don't know about the 360, but on my PS3 the online community seems to be alot better. I mean, I see campers-a-plenty but I've only seen one guy really "kniferunning", next to no 9 year-olds and below, and no hackers or glitchers.
Yet another fail stereotype. I play on the 360, and have seen one in about weeks, and I play for about an hour a dayish. Plus on ps3, you have to buy your own mic. And how many little kids have enough money for that? And let's not forget about the ps3's voice altering.
no hackers or glitchers.
I've seen 1 during the whole time I've played this game.
Okay, locking this. But not because people said it should be locked, because that was spam, it was never reported and thus just plain stupid. I am locking this, because some people are unable to take critique. And that there have been flaming and accusations and more stupidity. Behave or don't be here.
