The ranking daren to unlock weapons ruin it online I normaly like search and destroy but the fuker is 40 ranked always killing me with that dumb gun. You ate right does hide and move slowly

 

If you can get up to the mid 20's levels you get the ninja perk that makes you invisible to HB sensors. You could try the riot shield aswell, just camp in a room an wait for him to find you then kill him with it.

I have been trying multiplayer.......

 

Consoleified garbage. Why would I bother with a game that offers less than the previous one? 18 player limit, P2P matchmaking junk, farty little maps, huge hitboxes to help deal with the shitty ping, loads of crap all over your screen in MP, no customising MP modes, arcade like action that reeks of, "I'm playing with a controller!". No playing a decent game with players who aren't in your own country, unless you like 100+ pings of course, heavy predication to make up for that lag, which is why it stills feels okay at 100+ pings (sorry should that be 2-3 bars of ping :/) and that takes most of the skill out of it.

 

As far as PC FPS games go, this is a mighty step backwards, a huge steaming pile of ass, an affront to PC FPS gaming that takes everything great about PC MP gaming and rips it all up and takes a huge steaming dump on it, then says "Thanks for making Call of Duty a huge success over the years! In return we've decided to f#ck you over good and proper because we can make more money from the casual console gamer!"

The "pre-arranged" classes before you can even create a class have some guns and perks in that you dont get until later in the game and are actually quite good!!

 

But as soon as you can use the UMP or the SCAR you will be fine which doesn't take much!!

 

Play Headquarters of TD and you soon rank up!! When i first turned it on i spent an hour and a half playing and i was rank 13 or 14 which isnt that bad for weapon selection ;)

Does this sad "autoaim" working in multiplayer too? It's sad, taht instead of learning some lazy teenagers how to use mouse and keyboard to show REAL skill in FPP games, game makers are doing autoaims and other crap. I think I would loose patience in around 30 minutes of wrestling with console pads...

its just not as good online as MW1! alot of people i play with agree! my PS3 mates and X Box mates! the new maps are great but the small amount of people that can be on the map is silly! 6 on each side! its takes 2 minutes to find some 1 lol. Cross fingures that there will be a BIG update to improve the online gamming!

Surely its a good thing that you can find someone quickly??!! It means more kills more xp so you rank up quicker!!:)

 

I cant think of anything worse than trying to finding camping bastards that cant play the game properly so just sit there and wait for an easy kill although its a bit different if you playing search and destroy but everything else there's no need for the camping just go out there and muller people with you guns :D

 

Maybe there will be some bigger maps coming when they release the 1st map pack??!!

This is such a huge let down on the PC. They have removed everything that made PC FPS gaming any good..

 

Player limit of 18?? wtf..

no dedicated servers?? means you have to spend 10 minutes in between each 5 minute match just looking for a new game with your team.

No ability to lean around corners is also absoloutly crod.

 

They have made the PC version as close to the console version as possible.. which is completely retarded, as if PC players wanted to play the console version we would buy a console. I dont even wanna play the thing its that dissapointing ! :(

but even think WAW was better.

 

Tottally agree.

Im bored with mw2 already (at around level 50 i think) yet on WaW I prestiged 10 times, and completed the final prestige to level 65.

I just preferred everything about it and there was always something there to keep me coming back for more.

Im back on COD4.. MW2 is total rubbish - activision has really pulled a fast one and cashed in on the COD4 reputation basically.

 

Annoying thing about pc version too - apart from it being dumbed down.. is that we cant go trade it in like xbox or ps3 owners as the activation code is a one-shot wonder.

Out of curiousity, do any of you PC gamers read the Inifinity Ward MW2 (PC) forum?

 

If not, then I guess you wont know that:

 

:: Whilst the game was developed on the PC platform, it was developed and optimised for the XBOX 360 and then ported back to the PC. The MP EXE file for the PC contains numerous XBOX commands (link)

:: In the PC game, you may see this as further proof of the game being an XBOX port (image)

:: Activision have stated their intention to charge ALL platforms a fee for online gaming in the future (its their new business model)

:: You can modify your PC game to show a more accurate ping representation (link)

:: Most, if not all COD4 console commands are still present in MW2 (it is the same game engine afterall), however they are disabled so you cant modify your FOV or Max FPS, etc. That said, a modder has created an app that enables those console commands so you can play the game how you want to - not how IW want you to (link)

 

Given Infinitys Wards pre-release promo blurb praising IWNET and its P2P performance in defence of the removed support for dedicated servers and the uproar that followed from the community, it does raise the suspicion that Infinity Ward have tried to visually mask the inferior network performance of MP by not only replacing a numerical ping with a graphical alternative, but to also set the default values for scoreping_interval to 100ms and maxbars to 4.

 

On default configuration, 4 bars represents a ping of 0-100ms, 3 bars presents 101-200ms, 2 bars represents 201-300ms and 1 bar is 301+. No one familiar with PC games will need to be told how bad this is, more so for an FPS title.

If they intend to charge for online play of future COD games then they can stick it up their ar5e. I loved cod4 and I like MW2 but paying a fee for ONE game on top of the purchase price?! No danger.

 

I wonder if that cost will be on top of what xbox users pay for xbox live?

The only games they can justify a premium charge for playing would be the MMORPGs like WOW / Everquest / Eve online etc - the fee charged is for maintenance of servers and to ensure ongoing protection from hackers / cheats.

 

If they try implementing this on a PC based FPS.. then people simply wont play it.

 

The xbox charge is for the "service" offered via xbox live as far as I know - the ability to join friends in games, see what theyre playing etc.. however all of this exists already in several formats on the PC. On the Xbox you only have microsofts way of doing things.

 

I cant see many PC users paying to play one game online, especially when its not an evolving game, or something really massive like planetside was.

There is another article by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick but I can't find the link at present, he basically doesnt want them to produce games with longevity such as COD4 has to this day, he wants games where they control all aspects of modifications so they can control DLC and the shelf-life of a title, presumably so they can knock out sequels on an annual basis.
