Stuck on the Main Menu

I have put in quite s bit of time into this game (not nearly as much as some) and have seen most of what can happen in this game and from that time I feel like screaming "eff Modern Warfare 2"!!!

I don’t know what it is, but every time I play I have become less and less satisfied with the multiplayer of this game. I never did with COD 4 or with Halo so I was wondering what it is…

1. This game promotes way too much camping. Almost everyone agrees with the sheer amount of camping that goes along with playing this game. People are far too concern with their KD ratio and too worried about getting kill streak rewards that they will not move from a spot for most of the game. Now I understand when you have 4 kills and you camp for that last kill to get your predator missile/Harrier/ Chopper Gunner kill streak, but people will camp for all 5 kills. It’s just taking too much away from the game and ruins game types like Team Deathmatch.

2. Another Issue I have with this game is the sheer number of things going on at once. At a single time during a game you can have an AC 130, Two Harriers, Predators being dropped on your head, titles and emblems popping up every time you kill someone, blood on the screen; your screen is shaking….WTF!! Too damn distracting. All I think is overkill…too much was added which actually can take away from the game play.

3. The number of glitches: Holy crap…Treyarch (makers of WAW) were given hell for the number of glitches and how buggy the game was, but MW2 seems much worse. Shotty/Snipers (really THAT much range?!?!), Javelin, The glitched/modded games, Care package sprint, OMA unlimited ammo, noob tube, claymore issue…I know they did an in house beta, but WOW…What’s worse are the people who play every match using the glitches. I can understand once in a while, but every game? How ______ty are you?

4. Knifing is absolutely the worst. I have no idea how 4 bullets from an assault rifle will not down a man, but a throwing knife to the ankle or a slash to the left arm is an instant death. Combine that with the Commando/Lightwight/Marathon Tac/knife combo and all of the sudden I feel like they just got the Halo sword spawn. They can run through bullets and knife from 10 feet away. Its stupid and poorly implemented into the game.

5. Besides the knifing is the Noob tubes…Sweet Jesus is there a lot of it. How many games of Domination or HQ have I been where is see people rocking Launchers and thumpers with Scavenger Pro and Danger Close pro? Did infinity Ward really think it would make the game better where all you have is constant explosions? It makes the game cheap and not enjoyable. In fact it has become rare where I am actually killed by a gun. Thumper should have never been put into the game and danger close and scavenger should be in the same perk set.

6. Other issues…duel wielding shotguns, over powered M16 and Famas (lose no power with the silencer), Players who only go for kills in objective game types, Thermal scopes on Sniper rifles, and the shear tediousness of the game.

I really thought I would be playing this game until Reach came out, but I find myself having no desire to continue to play. I do appreciate the fact that infinity ward listen to the fans and give them what they wanted (more kill streak options, more weapons, Akimbo, more perks…) but, they did so at the expense of the game.

Here’s hoping that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is as good as it looks and can hold my attention until reach comes out.

Oh an on another note…Avatar beating out Inglorious Bastards for the Golden Globe prove that even the press will buy into the hype. IB was a superior movie in acting, story telling and writing yet the foreign press thought a movie about pretty blue tree huggers against an evil American Corporation….wait I think I understand now…
