mw2 getting old already?

[Chris]

Is anyone else just tired of mw2? I'm not hooked on it like i was on cod 4 and it's becoming a effort to even play one match. I don't know what cod 4 has that mw2 doesn't too keep me playing. :s

Hopefully blackops will be a improvement.

[Nemo]

Well it has been out for a good 8 months...

[Moh]

Yeah. People just camp in places everybody knows about. I get bored after about 3 games now.

This stupid host migration takes the piss too!

[Chris]

Yeah but cod 4 has been out for a few years now and i still enjoy playing it.

Yeah tbh i would rather just have no host migration at all.

[Jonster]

Played cod4 competitively on the pc for 2 years now and I still play it everyday..

[dbgtz]

It's because it pretty much is cod4 so its something youve played before, possibly twice.

[PaulMacC]

no it isnt, yes it is part of the cod franchise but they playstyle approach to both games is extremely different. deathstreaks, noob perks and killstreak rewards all change the playstyle up not to mention the metagame is based on positioning more than reactions thanks to the crappy maps.

[Fez]

Don't forget, MW2 is just a badly designed experience. COD4 had that whiplash approach to accessible multiplayer, you were always satisfied, with this it's so-so.

[j0rd]

I got bored of mw2 in decemeber...

This ^^

But yeah, I've been bored of it for a while now. Kinda of livened things up for a little while by only quick-scoping and stuff, but I've ended up going back to cod4. But saying that, I rarely play my xbox anymore.

I've heard several stories of how even IW aren't happy with the multiplayer, and how activision forced a release date on the game, so they didn't have enough time to finish it completely. Whether it's true or not, I think the game isn't as good as what it should be.

No but I mean like, the whole perk system is pretty much the same, o wow pros. But, imo, what made cod4 so successful is the perks so in a sense it's like drinking a glass of cold water when you're hot, nice the first time, similar the second. Plus the cod4 maps make it even more boring as you already know where to go. The game modes are pretty much the same with a couple of exceptions (demolition, hq update, but really barebones isn't really a new game mode on its own).

[Chris]

If only they had introduced those new game modes. (Themowar, one flag and the vip thing)

I got XBL in January and I got bored of it after about the 1st prestige... It just gets on my nerves because you get people who stay on it 24/7 who are like 18... >:( and campin' is annoyin too...

@ The bit in bold. If its an 18-rated game, there's obviously going to be people 'like 18' on it, you can't really get annoyed at that.

[Gibs960]

What I mean is, people who are 18 should get a job, instead of sitting on CoD all day :@

You are clearly 14 and have no idea how hard it is to find a job at the moment.

Sometimes I get extremely bored of MW2, go play some other game for a few days, and come back, use a different set up and it's refreshing and fun again. One thing I would recommend is getting three friends and going into Team Tac. As long as you communicate, there is no way you would be able to lose, unless you come up against another team of four, and obviously winning game after game will make you happy

Yeah, like sam said, its almost impossible to get a job atm, I've been looking for a good 5/6 months since my last one. And you've got to remember for some people it's their last period of freedom before they move off to uni for four years or so, so they're making the most of it while they can.

Also, yeah, whenever I'm on, I only play team tac with a full party, may even mix it up with 3rd person. That way you hardly ever lose and don't get that annoyed.

[crazed]

You know it's old when people know how to noobtube your spawn on every map. *****.

[samsaBEAR]

Even if you lose in Team Tac with friends, it doesn't matter, because chances are you've had more fun

[Oleh]

It got old when stimulus came out. Camping shouldnt even be a feature.. well not the style of camping enforced in mw2

[Moh]

People who noobtube piss me off. Why can't they just learn to use a normal weapon :l

[Jord]

Well I post video gameplays on youtube for my fanbase, And I would get so annoyed with the game and go into a rage, And my internet has been down for about a month now so I cant go on xbox at all and I really wish I was playing that game right now. Its fun if you are getting good scores I have to admit, But in the times where someone is sitting in a corner with a tac knife..

[Oleh]

I just wish cod went back to cod4 style, fast pased. only crappy perk was last stand and no lame killstreaks which were overpowered.

Barebones should have been just no perks, no killstreaks, miniscule health and no attachments. Sort men from boys

[tm]

You should try some of penguinz0's fun tactics.

Really livened it up for me: http://www.youtube.com/user/penguinz0

Alot of them were useless like eavesdrop in cod4, I like the perks in this one they just needed to edit it so like on scavenger it doesn't do noob tubes or something. One man army can go.

Barebones should have been an old school mode like osffa in cod4, my favourite mode ever.

I like One Man Army, it's a pretty solid perk that can really be effective if you have two OMA classes, one with Hardline, and one with Stopping Power so you can get those killstreaks just as quick. It's just a shame that there's the stigma attached to it because of OMA Danger Close noob tubes

[Callum.]

Played a few games since November, game isn't special, low skill level. Just a shame epic messed the start of gow2 up, if it was released like the multiplayer is now it would've been great.

[Gibs960]

I'm not saying its easy to get a job, but instead of going on CoD they should try to get a job... BTW I'm 11 :|

Yeah but you can't try for jobs 24/7, maybe a couple of hours a day looking for one then you have to wait for replies and interviews, even if you were to get the job it could still take months.

Plus it is a form of entertainment for people way over the age of 18 aswell, average is like 30-40 I think.

well back in the day when we was all playing cod4 rather than cod5, Them days were fun! and i went back to Cod4 a few months after mw2 was out and it sucked.. Everyone is using m16 frag3 with jug etc :l

[Ardemax]

wow those videos are funny as

luke just goes on about them all the time on xbl :l

such an addict

Well you shouldn't even be playing MW2, much less commentating on whether 18 years are allowed to play the game or not, so shut up

[crazed]

sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you were

mind you he plays like you :l

always come higher up on the tables with you ;)

[Ardemax]

i feel like throwing mw2 in a bin... or a toaster

[Chris]

Geez anyone can play. If 30 yearolds can then so can 18 year olds.

Back to the point. As im sick of mw2 could anyone tell me if its worth getting bad company 2?

I would say so. I'm going to get it, when I get some more money :D

My biggest problem is all these 14-18 year olds who go "how old u den bruv" and some bloke goes "32 mate" and there like "wasteman you should get a life blud playing games n stuff"

its an 18+ and most of the people playing aren't 18. i know im only 16 but the majority of people i play with if i dont say my age they think im 25.

It just angers me.

[samsaBEAR]

Me and some friends played last night, and had all the squeakers say there were older than us and were 'gonna do us in'. When your balls haven't dropped there's no point pretending you're older than 14

[CJW93]

I found it to get boring after a month or so. I agree with you

[Chris]

Ordered bad company 2 from argos today for 24 quid, although i didnt actually pay anything cause i traded in 24 quids worth of crappy old games. Lmao.

[Fez]

People play games to relax.

I'd suggest waiting for Medal of Honor, very similar to Battlefield.

Thus why I've been playing jRPGs on 360 lately. They are the only thing I can sit through for long periods of time. Those and games on my DS :p

I went on a game and this guy from Newcastle was like "You ******* squeeky *******! Shut the **** up!" And I'd only said hi...

[dbgtz]

its cos either a) he was doing it for the lols or b) cos most squeekers are nooblets and use noob tubes and all that crap.

[icebox12]

I totally agree, I overplayed it at the release date which isn't the best thing to do. Noticed it getting increasingly tedious to play!

Hopefully Black Ops will be a bit more interesting when that's released :)

The Mannequin tactic is immense!

I'm actually enjoying playing for the first time in ages.

5 tips to enjoy it again:
1. K/D ratio doesn't matter
2. try not to get stressed when you die
3. change your classes every few games, keep it fresh. use a gun/setup you've never used before!
4. don't camp, rushing is way more fun
5. play cod4 for a bit then come back to mw2

Wow. I only get like 3 kills at the start max. The amount of time he takes they've usualy scattered.

[Empasm]

I got sick of MW2 two months after it was released. I was so sick of people using noobtubes and cheap perks (like marathon+lgightweight+tactical knife) and taking advantage of all the glitches in the game.

[Apple]

It became old for me ages ago!

[Chris]

Got bad company 2 yesterday and I'm enjoying it a lot more, no rage quiting. It's weird, getting killed by noob tubes doesnt bother me on bc2 yet it does on mw2. :s

[[Chris]]

Thats because on BC2; DICE actully UPDATE their weapons, fixing their flaws.. For example, not long ago - The blast radius of the 40mm Grenade Launcher was decreased, into a more realistic range. AND not many people use them.

Personally, im a sucker for the 40MM Underbarrel shotgun ;D

MW2 is more rush, my mates good at it - BUT it rages so much, me, i just quit.

[Antallica]

cod4 rapes it tbh. traded mw2 in not long back

[::Art::]

I got mw2 on Wednesday so I'm enjoying it :P

Level 20 ftw

[Chris]

Dont worry, that'll wear off after a few months. :/ ^^

Quoted for the absolute truth.

[Hiro]

I just play private FFAs with a few IRL friends on Rust. Snipers only - quick scopes/no scopes. Get some good laughs out of it.

[Fez]

I have no friends so I don't really enjoy it.

[Fallen]

I agree that MW2 is getting a bit boring too, I still play it though.

[Nemo]

Havent played it in ages to be fair, probably coz everytime i do i get pissed off.

[Fez]

I have hopes for Black Ops.

Lolol. Campers everywhere!

Its so damn annoying. Seriously, i always end up in a death streak for a good 10 minutes just not being able to move because i just die instantly. Its incredibly bad luck and just annoying D:

[Gibs960]

I'm only playin for qs/ns games, and to get better at snipin... CoD 4 is better!

[dbgtz]

cod4 with mw2s updated engine and graphics would be like the best game everer. Well no but it would be alot better than cod4 is now, graphics suck on that xD

cod4>mw2 still, so much fun.

I play in sequences now, sometimes i cant stand it, other times its the only game i can play.

[Ardemax]

Bit off topic but i didn't realise that paul was like pyropuncher on youtube until like last year :S
oMggggzz real e-celeb :O

And COD4 is well good fun, but it sucks being a low level and no knowledge of any of the maps :/
