Bored of MW2...

[Pablo2008jedi]

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?

[Sethos]

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.

[Pablo2008jedi]

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 ... :(

[hackdoom]

Yeah, MW2 was pure hype! I too prefer shooters to be tactics-based. However, as you pointed out, not much of them out there.

[Plarkster]

Might as well sell it if you'd rather play other games. It will only get cheaper so you can always buy it again later on if you want to play it online again.

[BoredBozirini]

This is why I rented it, the game in no way deserves its $60 price tag. It doesn't even deserve $10.

I'll go play BF Bad Company 2 now.

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?

[ViperAFK]

I got bored after a week. What a waste of $60

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

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.

[Zombeast]

You guys are nuts. MW2 is awesome

[JustGeorge]

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.

MW2 has a pretty loud single player campaign, but it's way too short. It's shorter than Gears of War. Which makes is wayy too short.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Man I wish I could join yall in BF:BC 2....stupid exclusive crap.

[SimplySchizo]

hehe, i was at the midnight release. (shows my eagerness to play).

its now been 4 days since i even put it back into my ps3.

instead, i got my platinum in inFamous and finishing up batman now.

dont know if mw will be gettin anymore playtime in near future. my cousins coming home for the holidays, maybe a little specops when he gets here, other than that :yawn:

honestly, it would be a shame if it were to go goty. not deserved at all.

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.

[Pablo2008jedi]

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

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yep I'm in the same boat ?26 finished single player and find the MP pretty frustrating.

Back to Killzone 2 for that I think:))

[Soldiers33]

nothing beats the good old team fortress 2, I love the fact that you have to play as a team in that game, and not run around on your own.

[way2quik]

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.

Hows the MP on that?

Thinking of picking it up soon:))

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.

[AbandonedTrolley]

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.

[Brad.]

Killzone's a luckfest online. you could have the worst game and then your best game straight after. My first online matches had me coming top of the leaderboard through sheer luck.

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

BATTLEFIELD games ftuwauf!

[Pablo2008jedi]

With Killzone 2 I believe is a better SP content too, tbh I'm not that bothered with online
