Bad comparison imo...those are not really online fps games.

Look at the battlefield franchise. very popular and has more realistic than arcade style. Counter-strike is another one.

COD isn't built an online FPS either... though it has very very strong online elements.

if you ask me, Battlefield and Counterstrike are in the same league as COD - "tacticalized" arcade shooters but with different ways of delivering realism. CS for example isn't difficult to get into - it has very basic movement and fire controls. it has no aiming down sights function... just run and gun with a little more attention paid to bullet spread.

Battlefield's a little more manic due to the easily accessible vehicles. again, it's different...

R6 and GR have a lot of limitations - players can't move as fast as arcade style, no jumping like bunnies, and you often get killed easily for being reckless. having said that, the latest generation of these 2 games have been somewhat dumbed down to cater to a larger audience. R6 1 to 3 and the first GR series were far more unforgiving than Vegas or Advanced Warfighter. one bullet can kill... and that's perhaps one of the reasons why those games aren't as popular online. it gets frustrating... people generally just wanna have fun

i enjoy all sorts of shooters for different reasons, but i do clock more hours on the arcade ones especially online... easier on my mind

This is the first game i'll have to get for both consoles. Have friends on each who are gearing up to play... bah!

I dont mind them being more arcade style, all it would take for me to be 100% happy is making recoil less forgiving if youre just running around and holding down the fire button, in which case any noob with two hands can get kills on you.

And I disagree heavily that CS and BF are the same as COD.

can anyone confirm if the crap im hearing about the OFFICAL MW2 madcats controller being banned from being used is true!?? im assuming its bull! i heard someone mention it online psn earlier!

 

[Karma]

just rapid fire controllers i heard

 

[farrrs]

just rapid fire controllers i heard

what?,that are banned? but isnt that what the madcats pad does? enable you to turn "double tap"/rapid fire off/on at will??

exactly...cheating

 

[farrrs]

so they are banned then??? im not fussed cos i wasnt planning on getting one but a few pals were! whos banned it if it is banned? im assuming its not infinity ward if the pad is their product!?!? and i agree it is cheating! i thought the smaller buttons would be the
d-pad controls-nades etc!

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I did not think they were the rapid fire controllers. The ones that are banned are the ones that are modded by others to shoot dumb fast. The madcats one just have a predesignated switch on the bottom that allow you to set it to any of the buttons on top.

 

[Starkiller]

Madcats was working directly with Infinity ward on the accessories, no way they would ban them. So the madcats don't have rapid fire.

Hmm... I don't know if I like the amount of kill streak perks. Seems like you get a perk for farting now. A bit much too much for me.

"t will be your choice how to set up your own kill streak awards. You're free to choose three of your liking, whether these are the first three (short kill streaks, 3 / 4 / 5 kills) or three high ranking kill streaks (for the pros, 9, 11, up to 15 kill streaks).

3 kill streak — UAV
Team Radar for a limited time span
4 kill streak — Care Package
This supply drop will pick a random kill streak, from Predator Missile (likely) up to a AC-130 (less likely)
4 kill streak — Counter UAV
UAV scrambler/jammer
5 kill streak — Sentry Gun
Automated machine gun that you can drop at strategic points. It's an extra (stationary) teammate that will not miss!
5 kill streak — Predator Missile
User controlled missile to pin-point impact point.
6 kill streak — Precision Air strike
Not yet seen in action but the name give us a slight clue... Pin-point an air strike...?
7 kill streak — Attack Helicopter
Call in a helicopter that has turrets to take your enemy down, might be user controlled but it's not confirmed.
9 kill streak — Pave Low
Another heavily armored assault helicopter, shoots rockets and may be user controlled. Again, user controlled is not confirmed.
11 kill streak — AC-130
Plane that shoots a 25mm turret, 40mm canon and the killer 105mm canon. Seen in action in this video: AC-130 Kill streak
15 kill streak — unknown"

Well thats better then the video where it seemed like he got a streak thing every kill. If you still just get 3 then its not to bad. I bet just about everyone will use care package though.

It looks like you do...

3,4,5,6,7,

edit: With care package being at 4 I don't see why anyone would pick anything other than 3,4,5. And just continue to repeat those streaks. You'd get them so quickly everytime.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yeah sorry for the strange post, it probably wasn't that clear. It just really seems like the good matches will consist of several people getting perks every other minute.

I know off the top of my head there were several World at War matches that seemed to have the dogs coming out every minute.

Yeah but at least you only get 3 I remember in the video it looked like you got more then 3 perks.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah its going to be interesting to see how the perks work, cause bsaically just let them do all the work and see what happens.

I agree. I don't like this idea of all these kill streaks going on at once, these matches will seem like utter chaos.
