Well MW2 was my first FPS game on the console, I used to play them on the PC. I admit that while the online part is fun, for me it losses its appeal quickly. Even on the PC version I only played MW online for a few weeks adn then it gathered dust and I never wnt back.

I've had a blast, and tried every challenge there is online. I've completed the SP in normal and I have no reason to go through again on hardened or veteran. I'm no trophy ######.

If I keep the game I maybe will jump online a few times, but always being strapped for cash I could sell/trade-in and get another 1 or 2 older games (e.g. Killzone 2). I'd expect to make my money back or even a slight profit as I bought the game for ?26:DD

What you think?

Aye, it does lose the appeal very quickly. This game has to be the most random, the most luck based piece of casual-crap in a very long time! Yes, it may be harsh words but that's how I feel. There's way too much focus on having the right setup for the right situation at the right time - Back in the day where the player's skills, reaction times and knowledge of the maps that gave you the advantage, meaning lots of training would get you ahead - Now the game is 100% focused on having the right class, perk or attachment at the right time, even the most blind and useless player in the world can suddenly get a great round because he created the right class and got a lucky killstreak.

It was bearable in Call of Duty 4, because it felt like a great first person shooter underneath with some variation sprinkled on top on the shape of perks. Now the game has been smothered in this game, one perk / Attachment more game changing than the other. So yes, it's fun for a week or two but the hype about games like Counter-strike was the sense, the game rewarded you for being good - MW2 rewards you for lucky choices, nothing else! So you don't think "I'm gonna boot up MW2 and have a night of fun", you think "Should I? Because it's either going to frustrate the hell out of me or give me a great experience" and personally, I don't want to make that choice when starting up a game.

Plus with all this host advantage and stuff going around, even being able to aim properly is out the window ... And the consoles have that casual-tard minded aim-assist, so even the retarded kid next door can get a kill.

So when the fun in trying out perks, weapons and attachments have been exhausted, the core of the game has nothing more to offer because it's being killed by the aforementioned.

I thought aim-assist is disabled in MP, at-least I don't notice it as I do in SP.

I must admit the game was hyped to hell, its nowhere near as good as the original. But the original p*ssed me off due to the constant spamming of air-support.

I totally agree with the "luck" aspect some nights I have a great game, other truly awful. But I'm no expert at FPS, even on the PC. But I prefer the more tactics than gun-ho aproach, like SWAT4 or Americas Army. MW2 just seems to be people running about, I've only had a few games where my team actually spoke to you and had tactics, those where the best games I had but I find them rarely ... :(

O no its there at least on the 360. I constantly have my sights move all the sudden onto a enemy.

I think the luck is insane in this game. I run silencer, cold blooded, and ninja pro, and yet I have been randomly picked off by some spray and pray(shooting at a wall hoping for a kill) this stuff is getting old fast. Also some stupid machine pistol is going to kill me faster because they have stopping power and I don't?

i liked BF:BC above CoD:MW and MW2, mainly from the vehicles, which changes it up somewhat.

but also mostly in a tank on the other end of the map lobbing shells

I'll go play BF Bad Company 2 now.

The SP campaign was way too short and why the hell are only a few of the maps available in free-for-all? I'm not sorry I bought it though. I seemed to be doing alright against other people for awhile, but now I'm getting creamed constantly since I'm so far behind in rank and practice.

Sadly I bet it gets any user voted award. I mean look at VGA MW2, L4D2, UC2, and Batman. IMO only Batman and UC2 deserve to be on that list. Dragon Age would have challanged if it wasn't for all the crap the console ports have taken.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my thoughts then, and glad I picked the game up for ?26. I would never have paid the full price anyway I only bought due tothat> price.

Hopefully I'll get my money back, or more when trading in or I might ebay it.

Maybe I'm just getting old, online gaming isn't as fun as it was:pp

I hate FPS on consoles and on PC.

I had to sell WaW because the gameplay felt so boring.

MW2 - I am replaying single player and I am hardly bored of MP.

The game is that great. I may even get the first MW when it gets cheaper.

So you prefer to play FPS in real life? :huh:

MW2 looks the same was MW, nothing really new of a breakthrough. BF: BC 2 is going to look better than crysis when it comes out.

Hows the MP on that?

Thinking of picking it up soon :)

Well I certainly prefered it to MW2 although it's a lot darker colour palette and a slower pace. The game seemed to give you much more of a chance against others though.

Noticed it for ?15 in Sainsbury this morning in original case, I guess clearing stock due to platinum release.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
