Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

So you want a title that tried to break off and do its own thing to still follow the same rules as the title it tried to break away from, right. You don't like then go play your old crappy graphics COD and UO titles, this isn't that game anymore. Plenty of people out there who like where Modern Warfare is going, lot more then the winy minority. Or that who'll thing about COD4MW being a smash hit and top mutiplayer game something that flew completely over your head. The perks add a customizable element to the game that adds replay, getting tired of pure power, play with a bit more stealth and so on. Death Streak Perk, does not mean that that person will magically kick your l33t butt, but means he'll get the same tools you have for a bit to proof it isn't the gun that makes the man, but skill. What about the new customizable Kill Streak, doesn't that give a already kick azz player even more powerful weapons with which to rape the masses, oh I don't know, the Chopper from COD4 comes to mind. Everything prior to COD4MW kinda feels dull now.

EDIT: Hard Core mode 100% here! If a M82 can't one-shoot there is something wrong with the game.

:laugh: Ranger, you poor guy.

If you are refering to me, No, I like most the things you mentioned. I never had the chance to play the old CoDs online. The only thing I dont like about the upcoming CoD are:

1. All the things splashing on the screen at once.
2. Lack of a demo/beta.
3. The rumor of no dedicated PC files at release. I think IW mentioned they will make it though.
4. The unwillingness by IW or Treyarch to add an "oldschool" mode that takes out all the perks and makes the game like CoD2/uo. IW mentions they added all these things because thats what the community wants. What about the people that want an oldschool? Is it so hard to have a perk 0 command? I dont think its asking too much.

I think thats all my gripes about it. Maybe the grenade spam too, if that is really a problem. The footage shows people spawning and instantly throwing grenades in the air, which is still an assumption because I do that in W@W and the splash damage isnt near as bad.

As for whiney minority, I dont think we are that minor. I go on many different boards and hear the same worries over and over. The only boards I dont see that are the ones where the moderators have removed "negative" posts.

gooooood gooooooood let the hate FLOW through you!! Your journey towards the darkside is almost complete

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

Yo, Crunch, no hate for you here man. I have a strong dislike for people dissing on new things either before they haven't try them or if they are dissing on it for the sake of it being new and different. Ya, how many people were pissed that BF2 wasn't 1942 or DC and how many copies of they game did they sell (played plenty of hours of BF2 and I still play plenty of hours of DC). People aren't gonna play a game any more that they can't take something away from it, a rank or a title, or where there character no matter how long they play doesn't evolve. Sorry to say I come from they RPG crowed that only played FPS to pass the time between titles and wished they would incorporate some of those aspects of RPGs into those games and now they have and I couldn't be happier. And then I here people wanting to go back to the lame, "bang bang your dead, lets do the same damn thing again" type of games, if you want that play Counter Strike. Plus flashy lights and pretty "BANG, headshoot!" messages make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

PS I went darkside a long damn time ago.

You are right in that respect. People do want all these things in a game. Then the game comes out with them all and all you hear is how overpowered something is or how only noobs use something. They expect it to be a certain way and it doesn't quite work out that way.

BF2 is a great example. How many times have they nerfed something and now the game is not the same at all? Back in my day I could throw a satchel on a hovering helicopter and take it down. Now I have to be against the heli to plant and will usually just get raped by air because the AA is no good. The only thing that seems to work well is a jeep with its mounted gun.

But anyway, I like a lot of the features they added. I am surprised they still have martyrdom though. IW touts they are adding all this stuff because they are listening to the community. If that was 100% true, martyrdom should be gone or very altered at the least.

We shall see though. Game isn't out yet and I dont think they have talked much about it.

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

Simple answer for marty is, it prevents teabaging.

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

Yes but tea bagging isnt exactly a problem is it...

Not the way you die in CoD and respawn. Its huge in battlefield because you are staring at the sky for 15 seconds, no matter what.

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

Yes but even then is that actually a problem? Im not saying its a nice thing to have done or to look at, but surely it comes down to just being more mature than the 14yr old who killed you?

It shouldnt affect gameplay so much that they introduce a perk to stop it.

[RangerXML]

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

wow, they took me serious when I said Marty resolved tea bagging. In COD4 you get to see yourself being bagged from other angles, doesn't mean you don't see it. Marty really isn't a problem if you either take them out from range or you keep you hind moving. So glad to see the guys doing World at War didn't copy Marty, oh wait (j/k). They should of added a seppaku perk, bet you Infinity would of never copied that.

Re: 4 Perks now yaaaaaaay!

Hope they balance Hardcore or something. It`s piss easy compared to regular.

LIES!

Its easier to kill in hardcore, but I find it no easier or harder to play than regular mode. Of course, I play and like both, unlike most who prefer one or the other and claim the same for both.

Though I do know what you mean on the balance. Maybe they will just remove hardcore and be done with it since its so horrible.

Crunch, please tell me your joking about not caring and liking both and then suggesting they remove it because its horrible.

I enjoy hardcore, stems from GoldenEye LTC mode, I get frustrated if I pop someone in the chest and they still bounce around like a rabbit (I prefer to see someone using last stand).

Ranger, you know me better then that! Of course I am joking. I am a purist when it comes to options in a game. If you want to play regular mode, thats fine, let me play my modes.

If its in the game, you should be allowed to play it. Im not talking glitches or cheats or something strange in a map, but if there are weapons or perks or whatever available, you should be able to use them. If its sniper only, bolt only, or martyrdom only servers, everyone should respect that.

Both modes are great for different reasons and I am glad that I am one of the few that easily goes between the two.

You had me worried for a bit there bro. Variety is the spice of life.
