Only thing that always bugged me about COD4, and all games in this particular multiplayer genre, like CS or TF2, is that the players are always dying. I hate constant deaths and constant respawning. It frequently cuts people out of the action and can be quite frustrating. I would prefer a game where player deaths didn't occur so often. Or at least, that gave more health or more resistance to the hits (perks just don't do enough).

Umm....Play Halo? Takes almost a full clip to kill someone.

Try search and destroy or hardcore?

Never played Halo, unfortunately.

Well, yes, constant. What's the average deaths per player, per level? I would imagine a high number, don't you?

I can highly recommend a game-mode like Hardcore Search & Destroy. When you die, you have to wait until the end of the round to spawn again plus the game becomes a bit more tactical and, well, fun. Also the reason for my little rant is when you do have this sort of tactical play in small maps, having claymores cutting your paths off here and there and to get rid of them alerts the enemy, you really don't have many options.

I said disarm and you don't think I know there's a perk to see explosives after playing the game for a year? jeez.

True, but you were complaining about not being able to see them, I merely offered a suggestion.

Claymores are fine, having to disarm them would only slow down the pace of the game, which is supposed to be fast. Shooting them is fine, sure it alerts the other team but lets be honest, in a game like MW you should always be on alert anyway. It's all part of the offensive-defensive balance. Clearly you're the offensive type, so am I so claymores really annoy me as well (and lets not forget martyrdom), but there are advantages that our style of play has, too. Such as gas grenades + gas mask perk, I've cleared entire rooms using that combination. The n00b tube, as ridiculous as it may be, is a great counter to the camping/claymore types. Plus, there's nothing more satisfying than shooting a claymore just as its being planted =)

I think MW was a fantastic game, I don't disagree that it had a few things I'd like to see tweaked or removed, but the same can be said for any MP game - its still amazingly fun to play and I cannot wait for MW2.

Well according to my TF2 stats as a demoman I've stayed alive for 396 minutes, 52 seconds :laugh:

Funny you say I'm on the offensive, I am one of the most defensive players you will ever meet. I will happily sit in a corner for the entire round, just to stay alive and possibly get a kill. What you fail to realise is the various game-modes Call of Duty has to offer, because Claymores are a nice change of pace in Deathmatch, Headquarters and all that **** but when you're playing Search & Destroy Hardcore, you're the only guy left and you really want to live a glory moment and you 10 seconds later is blown up by a claymore, that's annoying.

I can't tell you how many times in various games I've been the last guy on a team and then pulled a complete rambo, surprised everyone and taken out the other team or completed the objective and gained the praise of my team - That carrot is completely gone in this game because the chances of you getting past claymores as well as the other team is nigh on impossible. Plus in HC S&D there's no "dynamic" playstyle where spawn changes or the zone of battle changes place, it's exactly like Counter-strike where you have X-amounts of set tactical routes and in clan-matches you choose where to go from the start. That is why claymores are a big problem, you can completely shut off or put up an alert perimeter with those things and have the rest of the players seal off the other route - That is not good gameplay and does not suit Hardcore S&D.

Claymores are fine yes but not in every game-mode, in some it's a gamebreaker and needs a counter.

*shrug* I just sit in certain corners with Stopping Power and Deep Impact, MG in hand blowing away enemies that come in packs around the corner. Or in many cases, just eyeballing the field and making all my shots through the wall.

I get nothing but **** allllll day long. :D

Anyhow, looking forward to MW2. Can't wait. (though, it might pass me by while I'm on Aion)

Modern Warfare 2 Features Released, Prestige, Perks

Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist (and once community manager) FourZeroTwo (FZT) asked the community to pose questions via the popular blogging site, Twitter. You've probably seen FZT in Modern Warfare 2's trailers - he's the guy that always gets killed at the end. The MW2 community asked hundreds of questions, and FZT answered in force. Here's a compiled list of features that he has stated will (or will not) be in Modern Warfare 2.

Max level in MW2 is level 70 this time. We're keeping the Prestige icons under lock and key

We have a lot more weapons, perks, attachments, callsign items, and equipment to unlock this time, needed more levels!

We're addressing modded controllers in MW2 - slightly different than the Rate of Fire cap we did in COD4 recently

There isn't an option to search specific regions / countries when matchmaking, but there is improved matchmaking to auto-assist

An entire team of Riot Shields would be slow moving and extremely vulnerable. Flash grenades force you to expose some

Quite a few maps have varying degrees of visibility due to weather effects.

The throwing knife is thrown via the left hand because the right hand is holding the weapon. Low Ready + Throw w/ lefthand

There will be snow maps in Multiplayer

It takes two rockets to take down an AC-130 in MP. Meaning you can't do it alone but can do it as a team

Nope. Air Drops are random. They could be an ammo resupply or an awesome killstreak reward. Its luck of the draw.

No plan for a Demo before launch. The entire team is focused on polish all the way up to ship of the full game.

Special Ops includes a variety of gametypes and mission objectives. One of many being a Wave Defense type.

There are going to be a few rewards for hitting prestige in #MW2 - can't go into details, but there will be goodness to be had

So there you have it, hopefully that answers some of your dying questions - it certainly answered ours! Continue following the story on FZT's twitter, though we will post any dire updates on our site as well.

Sounds great! :D Nov. is fast coming and I can't wait. :p

Wow, you sound like a real teamplayer

Would definitely want to play with you watching my back :s

Claymores are perfect in S&D Hardcore, in the regular modes it just adds to the constant chaos.

In S&D Hardcore you have to take your time, not run and gun lonewolfing like you. If you proceed with caution then claymores are easy to avoid and maybe even not trip off.

I'm so-so on Claymores, it's the noob tube that drives me insane. I do have a profile set with the noob tube, I only bust it out when I've been spammed to death by it.

For the record, I try target the noob-tube-spammer as much as possible. Other casualties are welcomed collateral damage.

Hypocritical? Ironic? Call it what you must, for me it's just sweet revenge to see the original spammer spew some hate in my direction after I get him a few times. ;)

On that note: CoD MW2 is pre-ordered and I can't wait to get it. Some of my co-workers play L4D. I might end up getting L4D2 just to came with them this fall.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
