Re: MW2 First Impressions:

I wish they didnt change all the keyboard layouts as I have to figure out how to adjust them.

Crunch

Options > Controls - then sort out your binds (or, if you want to be "special" you can just edit your config too)


You might want to up the resolution and graphics too :)

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

Well, you have to redefine ALL of the keys almost to get it right. Moving binds to Q and E, traditionally lean, has made everything harder to get used to. The numbers have changed, too. 4 is for streaks now? 3 is for shotguns and launchers? It's just different.

AUSTRALIA!

Well I just (attempted)played MP and my god is it ****ing horrible! 95% of the time I have got yellow bars I HAVE ****ING ADSL2+ WHAT THE HELL?(ADSL2+ is the fastest availible net in my area) now I HAD to port forward to get in a game. I got one game with green bars and I could still notice the lag the delay til the bullet hit all this is key to me when playing. COD4 is so much more smoother and lag free however this is not. IW need to realize there market isnt just ****ing Americans who have great net. Aussies are capped by Telstra cause there assholes. So if you want this game WAIT till its dead cheap do not spend 79 AUD on this sh!t

IW Read:
YOUR GAME ISNT BALANCED AT ALL
Not balanced for Australia
and not balanced in weapons aswell ****ing horrible.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

Campaign = awesome as I expected
Spec-Ops = nobody I know has played it yet
Multiplayer = 3 of my clanmates (who said they weren't getting the game) played MP and said they didn't have much issues with lag or anything.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

So for those that have played MP, how much can you customize your online gameplay? You can choose game mode from what I understand, but what about maps or things like that? How random is it?

I really hope they'll patch it to at least support a fov of 80, then I might just get it when it's 20€.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

@ Cryptik

Im living in Perth and have had none of the issues you have had so maybe its something to do with your connection?

Im not blaming it on that i just think its odd how i can connect to US servers fine where i am?
