Stop trying to be smart and funny, because you are neither.
If you're playing MW2 mp, then I think you'll find it IS console play. Enjoy your new XBox style experience.

Tied between Estate and Naval Base as my favourite maps, with the first being great for Domination. Managed to tie up the enemy team into the manor house whilst I was in an AC-130. Result was just pounding the living **** out of the building as they tried to get out.

Why is everyone so excited about Mech Warrior 2? Is it a re-release? In that case I'm going to get it right now!
Incidentally, I just found out the latest and final patch for Battlefield 2 was released recently and it includes ALL EXPANSIONS COMPLETELY FOR FREE!! -omg-

Well today I experinced getting hit by a javlin... Ow... seriously... ow. It was well worth it though as it sent me flying across the map though and brought a whoa or laughs out of alot of people in the match that watched me fly overhead as I slammed onto the bunker wall. At least it looked pertty as I followed it up and watched it land on me.
I've noticed they brought back a classic map from CoD:2 the one with the hedge in the center some tunnels and large open fields.
Dont have a favorite map yet or a weapon yet, still learning all the neat stuff. I do like the throwing knives though, takes some skill to hit a player far away and getting headstabs with it even more difficult. Also going around smacking people to death with a riot shield is a blast. I do have an SMGer with lightweight and marathon, and boy is he fast
I hate using silenced sniper rifels and if it wherent for the rediculous number of addon challenges I wouldnt be using it as much.
It seems they fixed grenade spamming, heck even noobtubing isnt as common anymore despite both of them being easily being overpowered when comboed with Scavenger. Not sure why there is a cutdown on these.
I also think that alot of the players that get the ac-130 are noobs and dont swap weapons around for max effect.
Anyone seen the Tactical Nuke Kill steak bonus go off yet though? The highest I got in a care package was the chopper gunner which was a nice 30 kills. Great thing about the linked games on steam though is that if a person is caught cheating theyll have to buy another copy of the game again.
Aimbots rarely exist on consoles because its so damed easy to report a player and blam, thier credit card is banned and they lose thier entire online account and all previous perchases they've made online as far as live on 360 is concerned.
At least on the 360 I can play anyway I want to now and they can report me for 'cheating' or 'unfair' and not ever get banned unlike the dedicated servers previous game had where the servers' owners gained a dislike for me and banned me on them. I mean its not my fault they make a mod I take full advantage of and should have probably spent time fixing/balancing it instead of just banning players who abused the mod to thier advantage. Also the number of matches available for me to play at lag free are numbered about 4000% more than the dedicated servers that I could have connected to on previous games.

Originally by: Myleena I think what Infinity have done with MW2 has gone over peoples heads like CCP integrating a console game with PC MMO.
Console shooter = 12yr olds running around with aimbots (no skill).
P2P multiplayer on PC = 12yr olds running around with aimbots (no moderation).
So they have very effectively brought the PC players in line with what console gamers have always done.
Bravo! Go them!
Day 1 and there's already an wallhack aimbot doing the rounds (see youtube, but Activision are having the videos deleted under copyright claims).
Lulz... that's what unmoderated P2P multiplayer gives you.

I don't quite understand why there is such a clamour for this game. Why do people have to get it within minutes of release? Why are people so desperate that they must possess it as quickly as possible? Will they die if they don't get it ASAP?
Personally, I would wait until the furore dies down a little before I bought a highly-anticipated game. Especially now we are starting to see surreptitious malware creeping onto official releases (like SecureROM).
As to the game itself, I will admit to knowing next to nothing about it. Frankly, I have become rather bored of FPS games, as they have changed very little since the days of Doom. A couple have caught my eye, such as Bioshock and Crysis, but generally, they tend to be repetetive and full of the most appalling macho-talk. It's no wonder that these games are seen as being marketed towards hormonally-challenged teenagers.
Is this game any different? Or is it still full of "I'm just so ****ing hard. Raaar" gun-**** wish-fulfilment?
Don't get me wrong. If it's put together well, I will probably enjoy it. I just think there's too many mediocre FPS.

well, it's definitely not a mediocre FPS. It is probably polished and engaging, but its also probably not a mindblowingly original piece of art.
Anyway, IW seem to think it's good enough to let them get away with knowingly screwing their hardcore PC fans.

Quote: I also think that alot of the players that get the ac-130 are noobs and dont swap weapons around for max effect.
I tend to let off a shell or two depending on the weapon and switch immediately, cover the god damn map with AC-130 fire, a lot of people tend to wait and see whether the shell hits or not, which is a bit of a waste imo.
I want to unlock the ACR but got a few more ranks to get it, the SCAR is more or less my main choice of weapon and I'm experimenting with the FAMAS but not really a huge fan of burst weapons, and I'm a bit iffy on the SMGs in this one, although I do love my UMP.
Oh, and Shotguns are actually useful now. Especially the SPAS-12.
A question: can you actually shoot whilst using a riot shield without putting it behind your back? I was under the impression that was what the Machine Pistols were for, although a good tactic especially on the rooftop level (which looks like it's come straight out of Rainbow 6) is to get one mate with a Riot Shield and advance forward, with the other tailing behind and picking off people who shoot the shield user, they're bullet magnets but people go for it anyway, and both players get points for it.

The sad part is that they're going to blame pirates for the dramatically low PC sales.

I have a response to all that waffle.
One of the best and most honest reviews so far.
Quote: We're massive fans of Modern Warfare here. Even though purists and elitists may sneer, we had no problem in awarding a 10/10 for Call of Duty 4, because it was such a terrific effort on console AND PC. If you told me three months ago we would be suggesting PC gamers hold off on buying Modern Warfare 2 I would have thought you're crazy. But if you are buying this game mainly for multiplayer - especially if you're contemplating serious competitive play at a high level - that's exactly what we're saying. The single player story is great, and if your idea of multiplayer is a quick zap with mates maybe an hour or two a week then by all means - it's great for your purposes. However if you're a Counterstrike, Battlefield, ETQW or even a COD4 player looking for a serious competitive platform to move to - best wait. Wait and see if Infinity Ward can implement dedicated server support; failing that wait until early next year to see how Battlefield: Bad Company 2 turns out.
And there we go. Exactly what I was worried about has been realized.
If you play on PC, and buy MW2 for the multiplayer, you are wasting your money. I'll be making a "security copy" for singleplayer, but I will not give Infinity Ward a single cent until they address this.
I guess you missed the part of that article where it said its not good for competitive players but for casual gamers (which is what most of the players would be considered) its a good game.
Its ok, I forgive you, stuff and things get hard to read when you become narrow minded.

Well you have to consider game creation is beginning to rival movie production costs if there isnt enough sells on a platform persistently theyll skip over it.
Lately PC has been the blunt end of low sales, piracy isnt the only blame but the unpopularity of it in these tough economic times.
You will have a hard time finding a computer capable of playing mordern warfare 2 smoothly for under 200$, so it almost begs the question why invest in something that you will not get returns for. PC gaming is dying and pc gamers are having a hard time coping with the fact or are in denial. Only two bastions PC games have left are RTS and MMORPGS and it wont be long before somone does an RTS game on console similar to what Halo did for FPS's.
MMOs are eventual, maybe not a big upsing of them this generation (Final Fantasy 14 for ps3/360/pc the only one slated on the list of possibly finishing) of consoles but next generation seems more likely to happen.
No you cannot shot with the shield up in front, you can toss grenades still but i usually have the blast suit on for the primary equipment. Great thing about the riot shield is that it continues to function if you stow it on your back, but only for incomming rounds from behind. Riot shields can also dampen the effects of explosions and have bullets richocette off of it which can still potentially kill a player.

Im not narrow minded, I know that activision knows there just isnt money in PC gaming anymore, its a waste of money why conintue supporting it, Im surprised there was a pc version at all this time around.
BTW having fun scaring people with the riot shield its funny to see people run away from you when you sit there and mock them with it. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 11OCT09

Just completed the single player campaign. What a rush ! Loved every second of it. Great visuals, some lovely set pieces, good story, IMO.
My only complaint is that it was a little short. Took me about 5h 30m to complete, and I was taking my time on some levels, just enjoying the carnage.
Multiplayer sux monkeys balls though, and would probably make the baby jesus cry. Desperately seeking originality since the first "can I have your stuff" since 2003. |

lol, noone is saying you have to. but what it is saying is that the game wasn't designed with you in mind. there is no altering of gaming style when really you just shouldn't buy the game.
As for PC gaming dying. How so? Are there examples you can present? You say we only have RTS and MMOs left. Really? I didn't realize Borderlands isn't out on PC, all the Half-life games, TF2, Left4Dead 1 and 2, Assassins Creed, Fallout 3, Crysis. Ever used Steam before? I own like 50 games on it and most of them are from the last couple years.

I haven't bought the game, although I have played the SP. I was jesting and playing with your words, but my point was, why could they have given us both? Dedi's for the 'hardcore' gamers and IW.Net for the noobies.

He's talking out of his rear tbh, if PC gaming was dying, then why would Nvidia/AMD ATi waste their time and money with new cards year in year out. PC gaming is far from dead or dying. Ignorance is bliss.

Because Nvidia and AMD(ATi) make chips that do things other than just draw polygon triangles on the screen, video cards are just as important for playing video games as it is making them or movies and the sort.
Also I challenge you to goto your local multiplatform gamestore then compare the floor space dedicated to each platform. I think its sad that the 4 in my area have more Computer Applications than games. On the only isle for computer stuff.
PC games have been dying they been dying for the last 5 years.
Shooters dont call PC home anymore, and seriously havent been since halo did it right (golden eye was a joke in terms of control in retrospect, hell even MoH barrows the same control scheme now) in a world where quick reaction responses aside from aiming, having 20 different keys dont help at all.
Casual games? They drifted anywhere and found a profitable home on consoles.
Simulator games? Mostly far and few between the next one I see worthwile in the horizion is Mechwarrior 5, unfoutunate how there will be a console version of that as well... A proven on the xbox original a simulator experince is highly possible with the game that did it called Steel Battalion with its 120 button three part simulator controller.
RPGs Most RPG's interfaces are so simple they can are found on consolues just as easily. Most of the popular RPGs found on PC have been found on Consoles.
MMORPGs are doable on consoles considering that both ps3 and xbox can support usb keybaords and Im sure it wouldnt be to hard to get a firmware update for a mouse too, there is just issues of networking. Im sure the next geration of consoles will begin to start picking this up, there have been strides for mmorpg consoles in the last two generations the largest one noted is FFXI with its cross console and soon Dust514 with the hybridization cross consoling.
The last two bastions of PC games out there are indeed RTS and MMOs for now, RTS games are far to complicated now to do a properly but its not stopping them from trying and MMOs becuase well current harddrives are not large enough.
Then you have to consider the current economy, video game companies are businesses they to have to make money, and follow the recommendations of thier investors their primary customer (yeah your tritary in the totem pole) and try to turn profit, so when these investors think that video pc game pirates are out there stealing thier money they're just not going to give them the option to steal it in the ifrst place, if you think a company is greedy maybe you should look at thier investors and im sure none of the ones on the board are video game enthusasist to begin with.
