I feel like Im all ready starting to wrap it up on this one...all ready looking for a new game to play. Ive taken a break from the multiplayer as well, I too actually went back to the campaign and started playing veterans for the hell of it.

 

[NASEDO]

I stopped playing, got to repetitious. Started playing Dragon Age.

It's good, addictive, a brilliant game online for the most part but the thing that's turned me off it a bit is the addition of a shedload of new games at christmas and the fact it takes about 5 minutes to get into a match.

When you finally do get the chance to play it drops you in a game unexpectidely, without the pre-game lobby and the option to not play that map. You get a sense of "ohhh crap, it's gonna drop me straight into a game here which has already started" more often than you think "I'll wait to see what map is on, if I don't like it I won't play it."

Then without fail the game if puts you in has already started. This for me means I can't get into a rhythm, especially if every player has kills in the double digits. AND you can't quit without adding a loss to your score!

It's the most annoying thing. It's started grating on me lately and I just think, what's the point. It seems 4 was the better game online thus far.

What they need to do for me is sort out these issues. Stop dropping us into games that have already started and on the losing team. It's a crap feeling when you don't know whether you're gonna get put into a lobby or an in progress game. Also, when you first search for a game, is it too hard for the map that is displayed to be the one you actually play on? I search for a game and sub base is the map displayed as it's searching - great. I get into a game and it's rust and it puts me in it faster than I can get out of the lobby! Arghh.

that's crazy.

If that would happend to me I would contact infinty ward right away.
I would get something back for spending all the money I did on prestige eddition.

such bull____ ! I hate hackers !

 

[Solidus]

Is this problem present on the PS3? From what I read in the links above, hackers have been modifying files on MW2. However, since the PS3 uses Blue Ray disks, those disks are unhackable at the moment. Or are the hackers targeting something else, besides the game files?

In any case, so sorry to hear this. I that hope Infinity Ward fixes the issue ASAP, along with a few million more bans for those bastards (or whatever the number is for those COD hackers).

Played for about two hours tonight, and thankfully didn't encounter this. Glad to hear IW is patching it, but seriously when are the glitches and hacks going to stop on this game??!!

 

[zimbo]

I dont think I have EVER known/heard of any other game to ever have as many issues or problems as this one has, and it is now really getting beyond a joke!!

Modern Warfare 2's DLC Exclusivity Period Detailed by Microsoft
Written Wednesday, January 20, 2010 by Dan Webb

A Microsoft representative told Eurogamer recently that the first Modern Warfare 2 map packs, which are a timed exclusive for Microsoft, would only stay an exclusive to the 360 for 30 days.

"We have a 30-day timed exclusive on the Modern Warfare content packs," stated Microsoft. "So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first."

30 days? Hardly seems worth it.

The first batch of Modern Warfare 2 DLC is due spring 2010.

...then must have never played a certain game that has a chainsaw attached to your gun. Games are always going to have cheaters and hackers as long as theres a multiplayer experience behind it. Gears had glitches/cheats that carried over from the first gears to the sequal...so beleive me MW2 isnt that bad.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yeah this isn't the first time this has happened. It just seems that everyone is playing this game and the exploits are happening every day.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Finally finished a couple more of the Spec Ops missions. I completed Wetworks on Veteran Solo-Mode. Total pain in the butt. I had to re-do it a couple times because I kept screwing up the last room. I just need High Explosives and I got them all.

 

[Starkiller]

I wish I still cared enough to play this one. I play it maybe once a week at the most, I swear I played COD4 every day for about a year. This game just can't compare to the original, damn you IW.

Heres to treyarch's next effort being better than this one.

Yeah, I hate when this happens...but it seems more often then not...

i hear ya brother...i played COD4 every single day without fail for 2 the full 2 years it has been out...as amazing as mod war 2 is i havent played it anyway near as much

 

[Platty]

I played COD 4 religiously too. This one not so much. Maybe it's because it's not too different to 4?

Anyways, an ACR kitted out with the blue tiger camo and the bling perk with a Red dot sight & Silencer - unbeatable!!

I think any gun silenced with FMJ.


MP5K with silencer and FMJ.
TMP with silencer and FMJ.

Bling pro.
Stopping power pro.
Ninja pro.

Those are my perks.

Yes, I miss the dedicated servers. The 26 versus 26. Nothing beats that. Nothing. I wish there were bigger games with more people but IW doesn't want that I suppose.

MW2 has made me slow; I don't think I can play the first one well with all that randomness.

But for some reason, I still love this game. I like how there's different kill streaks and buffed perks that you can upgrade to Pro.

And one more thing, people that play on console. That ____ is bull____. XD

 

[magman3]

Pulled out my best game last night to date...39-7 on Wasteland which is a pretty high score since it was on TDM (its the only game mode I play).

I decided when I started the night that I was going to try for my first nuke, but I had a bad start and reset my killstreaks just before starting this match. I'm thinking if I had my killstreaks set with a nuke in mind, I probably could have gotten it. I'm actually surprised I did this good considering I used my FAL which I rarely use.
