MW2 First Impressions:

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

So far I've only played SP, and it was OK, I guess.
It's a little bit too short and some stuff could have been explained a little better, but I like how there's an open ending, meaning a MW3!
I also like what they did with the music when you're fighting in the US, it's quite... Emotional...(?)
Spec-Ops is a little bit too short, but has potential. Haven't played all of it (only unlocked 3/5).
Weapon choice is a hell of a lot better than in MW1, loooooooads more stuff lying around to chose from.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

I have played 10 or so mp matches and it`s overall good. My ping has been between 40-160 and I haven`t noticed any rubberbanding and such.
What I don`t like is how you can rack up loads of kills with killstreaks. I spend one game camping in a corner spamming missiles and helis
Host ragequitting when he ain`t winning is another thing that pisses me off.

With dedicated servers this game would be ****ing ace.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

Didn't someone say a hotfix went out over Steam today? Now it's taking forever to find a lobby, and it's still matching me with people randomly scattered across the globe with 300ms+ pings.
What was fixed?

Apparently I have to post this here...

I was really looking forward to this game and although moderately fun to play online the 'consolishness' sucks. I'll dip in from time to time but will quickly shelve this game unless IW do something to bring the PC version up to what it should be. Shame, could have been very good however, I will now wait before buying any more of the COD series to see what people think.

I have no idea how you manage to just spam the streaks, are you sniper? the maps are to fast paced i found for just sitting in one spot.
I understand what you mean about the host quitting, it is frustrating and i could imagine when you are about to kill someone with the interruption.

It is good to see some positive light on MW2, yes dedicated servers would be good i agree. It would combine everything great about CoD.

I have no doubt that it would be, I would overlook all other flaws if it only had dedicated servers.

Amazing, scrimmed it already and it's just awesome.

Also, what's with the insane amount of points in MP? Whose idea was that?

Well, it also have around 70 levels and 10 prestige ranks, so it should still take you some time to max out.

It makes it look better for... certain people. Like their demographic - the "casual" gamers. Instead of "oh, I just got 2 points for a kill.... great...." like in BF2, now it's "WOW I JUST GOT 500 POINTS FOR ONE KILL!!! WOWOWOW THAT IS SO MANY!!!!!"


or something like that.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

I'd be fine with all the awards if there was an option to toggle the notifications.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

It takes over 2 million points for the 70th rank.

Re: MW2 First Impressions:

They could still make the numbers a little bit more realistic... Meh.. Oh well..

Yeah, in real life even a headshot doesnt give you more than 200 points
