COD is good (MW2,WAW ect) but seriously every page has got like 5 Cod threads. What is the need to talk about it so much? If you like it so much cant you just go on xbox live and play it?

Whenever a game like this gets released that tends to happen......................halo is another example >.>

People treat them like the are gifts from god.

I enjoy me some halo and mw, but they attract FAAAAAANBOYS.

Somehow, it's awful:
It lacks vehicles.
It lacks large maps.
It lacks balanced weapons (Knife > Sniper, M9-3 > M4A1?)
It has annoying kids yelling through their mic all the time.
It supports retarded tactics (Marathon Lightweight Commando, does better than hiding behind cover shooting enemies).
It lacks dedicated servers (Well, MW2 does).
It putsso much money into publicity and not actual content. No, serious. The reason they probably don't have balanced weapons and maps with perks, is simply because they're focused on getting everyone hyped up on it.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 is better.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 has more army-like perks, properly balanced weapons (And when they tell you it's mobility etc, it's actually accurate). Large maps (An outpost is easily the size of a MW2 map), vehicles, destructible ground (Aother fine missing of the so-called "thrill" of MW2).

MW2 is good for only one thing in my opinion - keeping the 12 year olds away from other games. I like Battlefield, I like Halo (When I play on it anyway, I don't often), because they have grown up people (For the most part, Halo has a few exceptions) and a much more enjoyable experiance. Halo with it's radical bullet bouncing, vehicles and exceptional maps are excellent for playing on (I would probably play it much more if it were on PC).
Battlefield boasts a lack of control, in the good way, attempting to hide from an APC as it smashes its way through buildings to you is incredibly more of an adrenline rush than either game.

But yeah, stop the bloody spamming, it's really annoying to see 6 threads on CoD which are just 2 pages long each (I actually wouldn't know since I never click them). Then again, it's kids you're talking to, they like rebelling the system for some unknown reason (I am a kid, I have no urge to rediculously spam the same thread which would ultimately come off bad than good), a little stretch but in either case it's usually made by them.

Sadly, I do not own Bad Company 2



I enjoy war games on grand scales! Battlefield 1942 drew me into shooters (I didn't even play online, it was just me and some bots). Those hours in that game store was the best times of my life.


The reason MW2 has all those problems because it's intended to be a fast paced shooter. Cod 3 came up with killstreaks right? MW1 had the classic 3-5-7 killstreaks and then in MW2 they fucked that system up and gave you gamebreaking killstreaks. Sure you can say "you can shoot them down you noob", but that is besides the point. Airpower wins the game, the system is just too broken. Everything up to killstreak 11 can stay.

But, I barely play mw2 anymore and MW1 is just taking up space on my pc and sooner or later I'm going to need that 6gig back. Maybe blackops will give the series new life? I dunno for sure, but maybe.

I completely agree with the OP. Only one thread is necessary to discuss everything Modern Warfare 2. If everyone focussed on the single thread there'd be no issues with your question being ignored because no ones attention would lapse as they posted responses to other MW2-related queries swamping the first few pages.

Theoretically it would work -- and it's a beautiful concept at that -- but in practice trying to contain everything related to a single subject in one thread is difficult. Even now you get Halo 3 and individual Halo Reach threads despite the fact there's a sticky concerning Halo. It's also very hard to monitor and prevent, especially since the majority of volunteer moderators don't moderate the Video Game forum (probably because it was an incoherent spamfest to begin with?).

There used to be a single thread that did manage to contain everything Modern Warfare 2. Then the summer holidays hit and all the kids who've been spending days on end playing the game found the forums and posted questions, tips and just about everything else you could imagine.

The amount of spam should die down once everyone's headed back to school. And HighFire, a thread concerning spam on Armor Games is no reason to ramble on about how Bad Company is better.

Well Elitemagical I've only got an agreement with you partly.

Half of the MW2 threads are "Discuss CoD6 and CoD4 here!" or different varieties. But honestly now, if there were proper containment of threads, 2 or 3 on the same game wouldn't be that bad, as long as they were based on different things.
MW2 Map strategies.
MW2 greatest tactics?
MW2 Actual noob gear?

If those were the 3 threads, they would be okay. Ofcourse, with this game, filled with the ignorant 12 year olds there already are, there would be trolls and such anyway.

Point stands clear - there is little we can do to stop them.

I think the people who run this site should be able to notice when there is a spam of COD threads, and then make a MAIN COD THREAD or something to keep other COD threads from coming.
