Why do you think there is both regular and hardcore search and destroy? Team deathmatch and S&D are the most popular playlists in the game and maybe headquarters. Search and Destroy is a hallmark of modern warfare 1 and 2
wait is this a medal of honor or black ops thread? anyway ive been playing moh multiplayer a bit and the snipers are really ruining it for me. i spent more time behind covers than engaging enemies. i wont recommend it.
Went over to a friends house who bought MOH. Idiot. The multiplayer isnt exactly horrible but it's not too good either. Black Ops looks alot more fun.
S&D is made for the more skilled players...you'll see a big rise in talent when you play that game type. Thats why you see regular and hardcore modes...because the players are usually a little more serious. The majority of the 20+ million playing MW2 arent of that nature...they are casual gamers. S&D isnt as highly played as many of the other game types.
You must not be familiar with the history of the franchise, Search and Destro has always been a COD favorite and it has absolutley nothing to do with skill. Go play COD 4, people are still playing Search and Destroy. I would love to see some evidence that that is not played a lot because it definitely is. It really isnt even close, the only game types with more players is team deatchmatch and it is about on par with headquarters. What other game types do you think are more played?
Ive never said S&D isnt a popular game type...but the MW2 community is much different than the COD4 community. Domination is played more.
I highly doubt it. If it was so popular, they would make a hard core version. And no, the communities are not a lot different. The Modern Warfare sand WAW communities are different
lol, the communities are a ton different...do you know how many more online gamers there are on MW2 than on COD4? Its a blowout. And like I said, there are millions of more casual gamers playing MW2 than COD4...and a lot of those casual gamers that are after high kill numbers, play domination. The reason there is no hard core version is because of the reasons I stated.
The reasons you stated make no sense. There is no difference in skill level from Search to deathmatch. Skill wise, I would say that Headquarters take the least amount of skill and is the game mode most plagued with racking up kills rather than completing the objective, but it proved to be very popular. That is why it was later added as a hardcore mode when there were only 2 originally. And COD4 was filled with casual gamers. Didn't you say you never even played COD 4?
I played less than 10 hours of online play...even then, you cant say that the COD4 community is the same as the MW2 community...there are millions of more players. And the majority of those players, not having played COD4 (like myself), are obviously not hardcore COD players if they are just getting into the action.
i'm on right now... TDM: 67,000 players FFA: 29,000 players S&D: 27000 players Nothing else is even close
Youre not counting ground war, which is TDM and Domination. Current numbers on XBox: TDM : 44K FFA: 24K Domination: 16K Ground War: 25K S&D: 36K With Ground War and Domination, you have more people playing that game type than S&D. There is a YouTube commentator, F1stdacuffs, who mentioned in one of his videos about 4-8 months ago, that TDM and Domination were the two heaviest game types being played at the time. He threw out the numbers too, but I dont recall what they were...if I can find the video, I will post it.
It is silly to include ground war Only half of ground war is domination, so it is still less than Search and Destroy. I only play those two playlists and about half the time, domination is skipped. By that logic, you should also include team tactical, and hardcore mosh pit for S&D because they are in those playlists as well. Right now: Domination - 15 k FFA - 24k Headquarters - 40k Search and Destroy - 47.5k Team Deathmatch - 74k Ground War - 25k even if you include ground war (which is only half domination), it is less than Search and destroy
I was saying some problems in Search and Destroy and he said that only a small portion of players play that, so they were not as big of a deal. I disagreed and said it was the 2nd most popular behind team deathmatch.
lol, what do you mean its silly because half of ground war is domination? Thats still 25K people that want to play domination...on top of the people that are solely playing domination. Its not like only 12.5K of those 25K want to play domination...they ALL play domination. Its silly NOT to include that.
