Hardcore is definitely the way to go, I can't stand having a radar up at all times, I think it's stupid.
Am playing as a knifer right now, and am loving it. Nothing better than hitting a group of 5 from the back.
Im starting to rush around with lightweight...my k/d has suffered, but I feel like I create some instability for the other team. Throws the other team off guard and it distracts them while my team can clean up a bit.
Try doing it with a Riot Shield, it is even better. I love running around with the shield. I have figured it out and have gotten pretty good with it and can get a solid 17-8 or so on certain maps using only the shield. My one complaint is that is is too easy to die with it. Considering you have absolutely no range, they should have either made it a secondary weapon or a little larger.
I cant stand this stupid thing that seems to happen where I am getting shot at, but clearly run past a wall into cover, yet the person's bullets curve and kill me. Freaking lag. This game is terrible at it. But, awesomely, I have been able to run around wtih the intervention getting quick scopes and am going a solid 15-6 every match.
I hate that too. You see a guy and take cover and you are in the clear on your screen, but then you get shot back where you were 3 seconds ago. The biggest problem I have been having is spawning. I am spawning on claymores, in enemy territory (surrounded by 4-5 enemies), into grenades, into enemy gunfire, into predator missiles, etc.
<br> You would think that as big as these maps are (dumb) they would at least fix the spawn points. But, on every single game mode except maybe groundwar domination the spawns are absolutely horrid. <br> As far as the lag thing goes, I think it's because of all the random crap that's going on (predator, harrier, heli's, etc...) because i've noticed it happens so much more when those are up
They need to fix: Spawns- Absolute trash Knife- Thing is cheap as crap. Fix the range Commando- Quite possibly the stupidest perk there is, makes martyrdom appealing Marathon- There need to be no unlimited sprint...come on now Infinity Ward Not being able to get behind a wall for cover- This isn't wanted. Bullets don't curve Assault Rifles- Too powerful, too much range, no recoil SMG- No point in using them, besides the UMP Thermal Sights- Serioulsy, wtf? WHY?? Heartbear Sensors- (see thermal sights) Matchmaking system- Complete crap Snipers- Can the .50 cal please kill in one hit?!?? I shouldn't have to use the intervention every single time Pistols- Who had the brilliant idea to add recoil to these and make them completely useless?? Please explain Infinity Ward. You added a firing rate cap on them and put recoil, yet put no recoil on most of the assault rifles. Brilliant!!! You sure showed those modding pros.... Care Package Knife Run- Seriously, fix this stupid super speed crap. I don't want some guy to run through my bullets and knife me every damn time
They are fine. Except for the occassional person I kill showing up 5 feet from me and killing me, its just fine. The random spawning prevents old school FPS like me from spawn crushing you to oblivion. Only combined with marathon and lightweight and commando. Its absolutely r****ded. Its fine as a perk, only adding it with the marathon and lightweight does it get to be ridiculous. Agreed in general principal. Maybe make it so that you can sprint much longer, but not forever. This is more a your connection issue. Its part of all online gaming, nothing really that could be done. No not really. I see the recoil in many different weapons which is why I stick to the SCAR-H, at the price of lesser bullets and a slower fire rate. Not really, the MP5 was almost to good in cod4. Using these weapons are great for masher maps with lots of buildings and up close fighting. The weapons system is just fine. I don't see any problem with these at all. learn to avoid these guys and work around them. Usually they are camping and always in the same spots. Easy pickings for me. Agreed that they are really stupid and silly, but I never really have a problem as I always use ninja for the silent footsteps, so I never incur any problems. When I tried it, I found that I paid way too much attention to the sensor and it hindered me more than anything. Dont know what to say about this. Never really saw any problem with it. I would like to see the game rotate the teams when its random players and not a group. Having to always have the worse team gets really old really fast and causes me to quit games alot. Might I suggest trying to hit opponents in the chest or head. Guarantee'd one hit kills that way. Just as in real life some hand guns have a recoil. Desert Eagles should have more recoil that a .22 for instance. None of it seems out of wack to me though. I do agree with this part. Its completely out of whack watching the guy hunched over lunging from 10 feet away as I already have put three bullets in him glyde across the screen to make a knife kill. Id only like to see this of all your list seriously taken care of though. Outside of that, to me the biggest problem is the aim assist, or aim sticky as they call it. Many times Im lining an opponent up and squeeze off a few rounds just to have someone else run by and pull my firing away. Its absolute garbage. I get that IW wants to sell to the masses and this means noobs who can't aim, but why on GODS green earth can I not make it an option to turn it off? This costs me more kills than anything else.
Meh, I don't have a problem with knifers in general. It's a novelty, it's hardly a game breaker, and it's helluva fun. Besides, it's not something that doesn't take skill - a good knifer has to have from my perspective really good instincts given that at the speeds he's going, he doesn't have time to look around and analyze everything completely. Now dual Rangers.....
And I have no problems with the dual rangers, or the old 1887's before the patch to fix its range. Its easy to me to figure ways to keep them from being annoyances by killing from distances. At very least you still have to aim in the general area. The knifing is aided by the sticky aim. You merely have to press a button while around someone close and it auto kills.
I agree with Hak's responses. Biggest annoyance o me is not being able to turn off the sticky aim. Care package glitch needs to be fixed as well. Only other real complaint I have, which I had in 4 as well, is that there seems to be weighting done so that some maps show up more frequently than others. In MW2 Terminal seems to show up way less often than some of the other maps. In 4 it seemed like Crash and Backlot showed up way less often then say Vacant which seemed to come up every three games or so.
<br> Nice try hot shot. I can pretty much guarantee you I'd dominate you so hard But really, they've regressed since COD4. <br> <br> agreed <br> <br> Yeah, but that serves as its main purpose... <br> <br> That's how they should have made it. <br> <br> It really isn't my internet. I'm getting like 15 mb/sec dl speeds. If my internet is bad, I can't imagine what is happening to others. Most people have this issue and I am almost definite that it is a MW2 issue. <br> <br> Are you serious? No recoil: ACR, M16, FAMAS... Notice these are the only guns people use... No one uses the F2000 because it is ridiculous. The FAL is worthless (G3 was an amazing weapon on CoD4). Using the AK-47, while fun usually puts you at a disadvantage because everyone else is using some combo of an ACR/M16. The SCAR definitely does have recoil and I consider it to be probably the best gun you can use. However, even the scar is overpowered once you get the extended mags... <br>
<br> I play Quarry, Underpass, and Favela at least 4 times each during any given session (coincidentally what I consider to be the worst maps in the game) Next most is: Afghan, Highrise Terminal, Invasion, Sub Base (I consider these to be the best maps in the game) Then Finally the least played maps for me are: Estate, Ice train yard place (don't even know the name because it almost never comes up), Wasteland, SkidRow (unless playing domination/demolition) (I only really like Wasteland. The rest are meh) <br> <br> Also, same Cod4 problem... Whoever get's the marines/task force/seals side automatically has an advantage. That side is always better and usually that team wins...
<br> Knifing takes no skill. Sometimes I do the care package glitch for fun. You can literally run between a group that is spawning or in their base and randomly hit the melee button and get loads of kills. I have gotten 10-15 kill streaks without using any rewards easily by doing this... As Hak said, the dual shotguns aren't really a problem. You can take care of most of them by using range weapons...
That's funny cause in 4, the maps I played the most on were Backlot, Crash, and Vacant (I ****ing hated Vacant). on this one, I seem to play a helluva lot on Highrise, Afghan, Karachi. Good thing is that those are 3 of my favorite.
I don't think knifing takes much skill. It's not like people go around exclusively knifing, it's just a thing people do if they happen to run into someone very close. The riot shield on the other hand does take skill.
You know what I never seem to get, Rust. I've played on the board twice since getting the game the night it came out.
