On the brightside, AC2 Friday :D:D.
Scrapyard! That's it! Lol. Terminal has to be one of my favourite ones. So many places you could be and how you can shoot through the windows, be on the plane etc etc
Am I the only one who hates the redness? It's not as bad on multiplayer to be fair, but I still wish it was just like COD4.
How easy is it to kill people? :S It's stupid. I'm not even that good at COD, I'm relatively a newcomer to the series and I was only starting to get fairly good on COD4, but on MW2 I find it really easy. As people have been saying, the guns are all samey and yeah, red dot sight ftw. Even on COD4 an M16 with a red dot was my idea of a sniper rifle.
I've only played it once, and spent about two hours on it but I get the feeling I hardly saw any maps. I kept being put on the same ones. Anyway, out of the ones I did, Rust has to be my fav. Every time you spawn there's like two people in front of you or running past you, it's so easy! :P
I'm not a fan of the huge open landscapes like Afghan. I prefer COD4's maps to an extent, but I can still appreciate how on MW2 you don't stick out like a sore thumb. Although I find the prompts really annoying, if I'm in the middle of nowhere and it says, 'enemy UAV spotted', it really isn't helpful.
I also think there's just too much stuff. Another thing I prefer about COD4 is its simplicity (I always say this whenever anything is updated :P). There's too many kill-streak rewards and all the perks have been renamed so I cba learning them.
Overall, I don't think I enjoy MW2 any way near as much as COD4. I've found I only go to it when I cba doing anything else (so I've only played it twice). COD4 had me playing even when I had work and other stuff to do, like a proper game.
Fair enough it has its over-powers but they're all available to everyone so it is balanced if you see what I'm getting at, nobody will ever make a game that perfect nor a game where nothing is unbalanced so I have just chose to live with it.
Well not until you've unlocked them. Most of my kill-cams have people with heart-beat sensors. I haven't unlocked that yet but it must make you unbeatable!
Omg that's the other thing! Heartbeat sensors are horrible.. It's like uav but permanent. And the perk which make u invisible only makes u invisible on them, so pretty useless if no ones using them on a game. They annoy me too lol
Oh please, for those who say it's meant to kill quick because it's based on realism. Realism doesn't make games, people want to escape realism. If your going to play the realism card then why do I shoot a guy 3 times with a .50 caliber anti-tank sniper rifle and get 3 hitmarkers just because he has a painkiller tablet?
Neil, people arent better than me, sure I'll admit there is a lot of people better than me but as far as the MW2 community goes, 90%+ are noobs. 90% of the people playing MW2 are scrubs. They sit in corners and go 2-20 each game while even though I'm getting killed by them I can still easily get +20 kills a game. At the end of the match, I have more points. I complain because I want the sequel that IW promised. They said it would improve on CoD4, in some aspects, it did, but it others it took a step back. Stop trying to defend the game because believe me I played the crap out of CoD4 and I'ma' most likely to do it with this game. I actually have quite a bit of experience on CSS, some in competitive servers, but my PC can only run it on crappy settings so I don't bother.
Heartbeat Sensor's counter is Ninja. Upgrade Ninja to Ninja Pro and it's also Dead Silence
No one said realism makes a game, what has been said it the truth, Infinity Ward want the game to be realistic, so it is realistic, to be honest I have few problems with the game, being able to party while on most modes would be nice but if you're only on to one person then private chat works fine, and the fact one of the presets is the FAMAS with a silenced shotgun, I have no issue with this apart from being 1 shot kills from the start, meaning they wont use anything else, wont stop me playing though because I enjoy it but as I knew all along, Borderlands is better.Quote:

Well I like mw2 even if the guns are over powered and what not, but its like that in everygame
sure this one might have like 4 games but think of all the people who got paid to program the powers of a certain weapon to make it equal to all the other guns
But on mw2 you might think oh the pistols would be weak towards other stuff I aint gonna use it
USP kills in 3 - 4shots
.44 kills in 2 - 3 shots
That doesn't even make sense, you were saying how awful MW2 is and now you're saying it has awesome reviews, I'd love to see these "x2 better reviews" I mean lets see, Metacritic, Borderlands (360) got 86, MW2 got 95, I'm not maths genius but I'm pretty sure that isn't double.Quote:

I'm gonna pop in here and say that you are just a little biased towards borderlands on the fact that you have been following it for ages. It doesn't deserve goty. I think mw2 is better, but I still don't think it deserves goty. However, basing things on reviews is a pretty poor way to go about comparing games. You should judge it on what you like. Borderlands, yes, new concept etc, but I'm pretty bored of it and am only like level 20. Mw2 I've played on everyday since I've had it and it gnerally a great gameQuote:

I've been following CoD games ever since the first one so what ever your point is then it's pretty invalid because I've been following CoD games for clearly longer, the fact that MW2 is just CoD4 with different levels and skins is exactly why it shouldn't have GoTY, the fact every CoD game is just a reskin of the previous now is just stupid, Borderlands deserves GoTY more, it's one of the more inovative games this year, you got bored of it at level 20, fair enough but I know people that got bored of CoD before getting to rank 10, GoTY has nothing to do with preference sadly, obviously MW2 is going to take GoTY this year but only because of the fanbase, not because it's the best game this year, obviously just because CoD has had GoTY it can get it again but that does not mean it deserves it, GoTY should be changed so only new IPs get it, not games that have a huge fanbase built over a few years and thounsands of biased morons that can't see how generic it really is.Quote:

Very well said Neil.
On another note, Uncharted 2 deserves game of the year. I know you (Neil) hate Uncharted to death and I wasn't much of a fan of the first, but hot damn is the second one a treat.
Strong Bad deserves game of the year.
