Just a quick article I wrote.

I approve.

I like MW2 now. It was only crap when the mass of campers/boosters/idiots seemed so overwhelming but once you learn how to combat all of those then it's great fun. I think it also takes time to become good at MW2 specifically as opposed to the Call of Duty series in general. Couple of things from the article I disagree with, firstly;

... Thermal ruined sniping on this game, especially on large open maps such as Wasteland. Not only does it give away the best camping positions ...

I love the thermal attachment and what you say there about camping doesn't exactly help your case for complaining about the game as people won't have much sympathy for a proud camper. I also don't agree with some of the stuff about perks. I acquired SitRep Pro just by playing normally (rather than whatever you said) and while I agree that it's somewhat under-developed, I love it for hunting down boosters with their Tactical Insertions. In fact, I'm surprised you didn't complain about Tactical Insertions. Their only possible use is for boosters and maybe campers. But even for campers they're kind of pointless because A) if it's a decent camp spot, the flare will probably be very easy to spot and B) it basically gives your enemy a free kill by waiting at the flare for you to re-spawn (which also makes the fact you can press X/Square to disable it rather than waiting extremely pointless). What you say about Deathstreaks is true though. Painkiller is a *****.

Love this



Nice article.

host migration can suck my balls. i hate it when it cancels out predator missiles and if you're trying to run behind cover.

Nice article.

I like tactical insertions, they can be amazing if used wisely... sure they can be a bit of a "fail" if an enemy finds one and they spawn kill you, but it's worth it. If you put one down next to a headquarters in HQ pro you can get a nice few kills after the enemy have captured. They're also good in domination by using the same kind of technique.. Also by camping I don't mean sitting in a corner waiting for the enemy to come past, I simply mean if you're waiting to call in a kill streak, or trying to snipe whilst hiding in a bush, somebody can just take you out from across the map with thermal... ya' know?

That happened to me once, I nearly cried because It blew up killed no one, I carried on my streak, got my chopper gunner, and it happened again. We all got back into the game and I'm closing my laptop. Bloody game.

It's a good article, but there are alot of things that are good, or actually happen in real life.

Host Migration - I don't know why you're complaining. What would you rather do?: Miss a collateral/headshot, or have teh game end? Especially if you're on a good killstreak. And it's not usually the host getting kicked, it's usually the host leaves which means it has to migrate.

A Chopper Gunner - A helicopter like this would do that - It has a high calibre machine gun that can kill someone with a couple of shots. So I don't see whats wrong with it.

Overpowered guns - They may be just a bit overpowered, but a few shots into teh heart or chest with a .45calibre machine gun bullet is going to kill you, isn't it? I mean, guns are powerful.

You are right about host migration.

But the other two, i have one simple statement to counter it and that is

"Balance > Realism"

I'd rather get a decent collateral or something like that then the game carrying on, seeing as I don't get them much and they are pretty kick ass... but I know what you're saying. Yeah, I know chopper gunners "irl" would mindrape everyone in their paths, but it's way overpowered to be in the game... you know? As the guy above said, "Balance > Realism" - same with overpowered guns.

I totally get what you mean, however as much as people want this to be, it's not real life. It is a game, and it is made for entertaining the masses. There is nothing entertaining about being mowed down constantly by iiiPrOsNiiPezxo who has camped for his Chopper Gunner and is spawn raping people
