Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Original?]

I've "ran" into a few of them before. It's pretty stupid to say it's a gutless and cheap way to play, if you can't beat a person who's primarily running and using a knife, then frankly you suck, no offence.

It's simply a tactic, a set-up, quite like any other, if not, it takes more balls to run head on into action with a knife than sitting back with a sniper rifle.

Sitting back with a sniper rifle? Unfortunately the range on assault rifles is virtually the same as that of sniper rifles, particularly when playing on stupidly small maps.

It takes no balls to do anything on Call of Duty.

The problem I have with the tactic is that it's ludicrous. Marathon should extend the distance you can sprint, not make it unlimited. Lightweight should be renamed Usain Bolt on Steroids. Then they have the commando perk... equivalent to having elasticated arms.

The game could do with many of the attachments and perks being removed from the game or altered, the killstreaks at the high end need to be removed or made more difficult to obtain.

It's a great tactic to use in cature the flag. Last month I was able to capture 6 flags on Highrise and generally winning the games for my team. I can't remember how many times I would have to capture the flag, yet return our flag, whilst I was holding the oppositions flag. It's frustrating.

I don't really have a problem with it. I've been killed by it many times, but I respect those people for being able to get to me before I can kill them. I have used it once in a team death match, I wasn't too pleased with my K/D ratio at the end of the game, so I know that it is far from easy to use. I'd rather die via that tactic than a random noobtube!

 

[RN50]

Ah yes the Random Noobtube from the guy that aint even looking where he shoots, completly forgot about them. lol

 

[Hunter]

most of the time these are the guys that run up behind u. they know not to try it when ur looking at them else they will be dealt with easily.

sniper rifle guys (never used 1 myself so far) have to have patience they dont go running around like some loon and once they kill u, u usually know there posistion so would stay away or look out for them more.

why should it take more balls to run head into action when they are usually the ones running around in the shaddows.

So then, surely running around in the shadows and sneaking up behind people is nothing but smart play? I don't get it, do you just want everyone to play the game the same?

That's the beauty of the game, everyone plays differently causing you to adapt to certain situations. It would be boring without the likes of the running knifers, the smart snipers, even the akimbo shotgun fanatics. It all makes for a great game, everyone has their style.

I personally use the sniper rifle the majority of the time I'd say, 2 of my 5 classes are snipers. However I've been using the FAL a lot recently, mainly because it's such a lovely looking gun and being able to shoot someone once and hear the "ping" noise is majorly satisfying. Especially in Hardcore mode with a silencer attached, it's like heaven.

More often that not, I sit back a bit when I play and try and pick people off, but I equally love running in balls out blasting my secondary shotgun, it's just such mayhem - it's delightful. MW2 is simply such a brilliant game.

I don't mind n00btubes, but only if the player is clearly inexperienced.

To have prestiged once or twice, and be on your 50th rank and to still have to rely on it pisses me off however.

One thing that does fuck me off though is the heartbeat sensor. Pretty much forces you to use the Cold Blooded Perk.

Heartbeat Sensor still picks up people with Cold Blooded, it's the Ninja perk you need.

 

[Ziss]

That's what I meant

My class is as follows:-

ACR or M4 w/ RDS

Scavanger
Stopping Power
Ninja

The reason I had Ninja on was to avoid being picked up by someone's HBS; however unlocking the Pro perk of this ironically worked out well as it gives you silent footsteps, which means you don't have to creep around as much.

Still, other classes I need a different perk to Ninja, which is where it becomes all faggy.

I don't like getting killed by akimbo shotguns.

I don't mind the akimbo rangers, but the akimbo 1887's range is inconsistent with other shotguns.

 

[dotty]

I've went back to being shit i think it's me being all gun ho n shit.

 

[RN50]

yep that right dotty, going gun ho makes u shit as u just rush in like a madman but taking ur time gets u many kills.

Last night, I was playing on Highrise. My team lost by about 400 points. The thing is, we were playing 3 against 6. Two of my team members quit mid-game.

Also, I've recently unlocked the M16, and I'm loving it so far. I'm usually not a fan of a 3 round burst weapon, but this one is a beast. Firing it once usually kills off your opposition.

 

[Hunter]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the M16. I haven't used it yet on MW2 though mind since I was using it quite a lot on COD4, want to try new things out and all that jazz.

Was playing on Hardcore last night with a mate, and the first few games I was on fire, doing quite well like 16-7, 22-10 etc, then all of a sudden I played terribly for the next 3-4 games, talking awful scores like 4-10. So frustrating.

You just described my glass completely. Commando Pro is just lethal. No damage taken whilst falling, as well as longer melee attacks. It makes it a lot easier to evade someone chasing you with a gun as you can just dive off of any ledge or building you might be on. This will often leave them stumped, so you can then double-back and get them on the way around.

It's great fun being a cunt online.

 

[Foxhound]

The respawn points during Free For All is fucking shite!

The abuse I sometimes get for shooting someone with my sniper rifle is always enjoyable. The irony being I got accused of camping by a guy who had killed me in the same game while hiding under a desk in the corner of a room. I went back and he was still there so I shotgunned him in the face but the concept was lost on him.

Got to love MW2.

I've just started using the UMP45, with silencer and red dot (I play Hardcore), and although I only used it for 1 game in Scrapyard, it seems like a potentially great gun.

I have to say I love the selection of guns in MW2, some really excellent choices, not just primary either, the secondary weapons are enjoyable to use also. My only qualm would be I'd love to see maybe one, possibly two more sniper rifles in the game. Other than that, I can't fault the weapon arsenal.

I have to agree on all points.

The selection is excellent except the sniper rifles. The Intervention is a nice rifle but I can't quite get comfortable with it, it doesn't seem to kill on a direct hit as often as the Barrett. The Barrett is good but it's a bit dull. The M21 isn't powerful enough, requiring a headshot to even have a reasonable chance of a one shot kill. The WA200 is just woeful.

There's definitely room for more sniper rifles, though they can always take the WA200 out.

I have to agree with you to an extent there as well. I'm exactly the same with the Intervention, although it seems all fine and dandy, looks great, is statistically strong, I just can't seem to get to grips with it either. I've mainly been using the Barrett and the WA2000. As you say, the Barrett is solid, but with it being on COD4, I think some of "prestige" and wow factor has worn off a bit. I find the WA2000 to be good mind, not sensational but a decent sniper - it just looks weird as hell. I've just unlocked the M21 so I'll need to get using that, my mate says it's a great sniper so I can't wait to hop on the wagon.

I'll have to give the Intervention, WA200 (despite it's awful appearance) and the M21 some more play time. Perhaps I've judged them too quickly.
