I actually think I've lost my faith in video games...

I think it caters too much for casual gamers. I am defiantly one, so I shouldn't be any way near as good as I am on MW2 online. I mean from seeing people talking on here, I imagine they've played the series from the word go and should be amazing at it. Yet I find it really easy... However with COD4, I didn't find it too hard at first but it still took time for me to start regularly getting into the top three in matches.

I agree sort of. The online just reminds me of WOW. Doesn't remind me of anything like COD4. I almost finished the campaign in my first day of playing and had a few scenes left but got bored so I went online for a couple games and didn't like it. The maps are really bad, well the two I played and the fact that there is no tactical play at all. It's just.. lets run around and shoot anywhere and hope. I managed to come 2nd in my first game and in my second get a 9 kill streak but still found it really bad. I'll probably get used to it though and enjoy it more eventually but it just doesn't do it for me. The maps are built for close combat, well from what I played they were and I hate that although some might disagree. The guns aren't that bad but I just don't understand the whole tags, pick your badge bit. What's the point? It's just an un-needed addition. Also there are way too many kill-streak perks. Can't they just keep it like it was, or maybe just add one for a 10 kill-streak instead of introducing 10 new ones or however many it is.

Anyway that's my thoughts and I'm sure I'll like it more eventually when I get to know the maps and unlock S&D as that's the only real level I play online as it involves tactics which I like.

I think we all make these criticisms because we have played something better. I think for the budget they did pretty well, if we were all 12 yr olds or younger playing a game like this we'd all be blown outta our minds about how good it is. Just we grow old and see the same things too much or get used to something and then dislike it when something changes.

I did play something better, the game previous to it, which shouldn't happen. It should have been improved. Not made worse.

Realism doesn't belong in the gaming world.

If you think realism is a core part of making video-games 'fun', then you should stop playing altogether.

I'm not saying I want an ultra realistic game where if I press X it gives me the option to sneeze for gord sake. I'm just saying, I didn't want something too be REALLY unrealistic. I know games are un realistic, come on, most of them are for taking on hordes of Aliens fighting in coloured space suits, yet I love them. I'm saying like, this game moved into a different direction too suddenly. It went from a good, believable storyline in CoD4 to something you just don't expect and can't really believe due to the circumstances the whole CoD series places you in previously. Do you understand where I'm coming from?

Of course you don't want an ultra-realistic game.

I kinda agree with you on the different direction thing, but really you just have to take it as it is. The OTT ninja that lurks in COD's bloodstream just sort of pounced all over this instalment.

I just don't think you should attack a game like this because of its realism. It's not trying to be realistic, at least I think so, it's just trying to be over the top and all over the place.

I'm not sure. Haven't made my mind up yet.

First 2 days were great, now not so much.

[Black_Apalachi]

I've lost track of where I'm posting about this lol, but something else I just thought of is Care Packages. I can't imagine they were intended for people to actually use themselves? I mean after unlocking one for the first time, I realised going up to it is an auto-fail so instead I just hide near it and wait for the fishies to take the bait. Works every time .

[Dragorn]

So your basically saying it's crap because you keep getting killed by noobs?

[CHA!NGANG]

The game is growing on me a bit. Once I know the guns and maps then it won't really be a problem but the only thing that annoys me is the new perks. You get like 10 helicopters in the air at a time and whenever you step outside your gone. Having 15 different kill streaks is stupid I think. If they added one or two and made it 5 Killstreak perks then I'd be happy. Apart from that it's ok, just need to get used to the maps.
