I'd disagree with the direction of the original post. I think it comes down to concept rather than specific details most of the time.

A single weapon or perk being a bit OP doesn't ruin a game. Nor does the ability to akimbo ruin the entire game. Instead lots of little things contribute towards a concept, e.g. the weapons in general aren't balanced.

^^Mostly agree, although some things (tubes, commando, lag) can ruin individual games all by themselves.

(Do a youtube search for "retarded commando knife" or similar - results are amusing).

Sounds to me like you made a list of things you can't counter. Not one of those things has ever kept me from consistently having good games.

90 percent of guns in this game are considered overpowered by someone, so listing certain ones are pointless. Also, you list third tier perks NOT named Commando and bitch about them? WTF?

The only one on your list that I agree with is OMA. I know most people on this site get boners over this, but the fact is that it is incredibly easy to kill people using this method. At least w/ g18's and other guns you have to get close or at least aim.

As for Claymores: I get what your saying, but good lord, just equip sitrep and shoot the fucking thing rather than making a list. Problem solved.

lol ur stupid

Shankapotamus

Oh, claymores are crap. Run by them and they do nothing.

ThanatosRising

This isn't true. Claymores are a very strategic equipment, meaning you have to know when to place them and at what spots. For example, if you place a claymore right by the door, they will run by it and take minimal damage; what you need to do is place it a few feet from the door, still in stealth, but where they will trip the claymore and die, rather than running right past it.
Next time you insult something, try doing some research or testing it out in different ways yourself...

Shankapotamus

Dude, I know how to plant claymores. Marathon + Lightweight > Claymores.

Next time you insult someone, don't make assumptions.

1. g18 akimbo, this setup is my arch nemesis, i cannot stand getting killed by this completely overpowered spray machine especially if it have steady aim on and sprayed me form a mile away.

g18s are fine...there just as powerful any secondary, shotguns are even more powerful

2. One Man army Tube: the setup that most mw2 players complain about, with it, an experienced player can literally hold the whole other team in their base while ending the game with a nuke.

Noob Tube in general are annoying as hell, espicially with danger close, one man army or scavenger giving them infinite ammo, if there was no danger close or it might be better.

3. Ninja Pro: whilst this perk isn't complained about, i wonder how overpowered it can be for players to run around the entire map without being heard.

Not over powered to run around the entire map, most ppl dont use headsets and dont listen to foot steps anyways, and its a perfect counter to ppl who do sound whore. And as long as you pay attention to your surroundings, checking your back ninja pro is useless.

4. Steady Aim: In my opinion, this perk is one of the most corrupted because it enable players to spray at a ridiculously long distance.

I've never seen someone kill someone hip spray long range...

5. 100% accuracy: almost all the guns in this game can be used to snipe people from accross the map, making intervention users at a disadvantage.

intervention has scope and is a 1 hit kill (body and head) and guns are not 100% accurate, try shooting assault rifles and smgs and lmg into a wall only the first bullet is accurate and automatic weapons arn't 1hit kills.

6. Claymore: This little equipment let players camp in almost any buildings in the map without worrying that they are gonna get back stabbed.

claymore can be seen, ppl can be shot from outside the building, sitrep can allow you to see claymores, scrambler can delay claymores, personally claymores arn't that big a problem

7. Killstreaks: i solely disagree kill streaks ruin the game, but alot of players say they are outrageously overpowered

air support is only powerful if your team or yourself is noob and doesn't switch to a launcher to take it down. coldblooded makes air support to useless against you. only thing I dont like is the nuke which can be gotten easily by going harrier-chopper/AC130-nuke.


Only thing I don't like is the massive amount of noob tubing, host migration picking the worst host every time, and having to have a 4bar connection or you get screen lag.

Also hate last stand and final stand.

ChoongJing

Choob, u certainly thing u have way more experience on the game then i do, give yourself a hand.

As I explained earlier it is very rarely one specific issue with the game:

Akimbo G18s DO NOT ruin the game. UMP does NOT ruin the game. ACR does NOT ruin the game. None of those solely ruin the game. HOWEVER all of those little tiny things add up to POORLY BALANCED WEAPONS - and that is what ruins part of the game. The weapon that just killed you being OP does not ruin the game, the fact that the game is poorly balanced ruins the game.

Host migration does not ruin a game. Host migration 4 times in the first 5 minutes does not ruin the game, just another large annoyance. A ping of 130ms does not ruin the entire game, just a massive annoyance. Host disconnection does not ruin the game, just a big annoyance. ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER ruin the game.

One killstreak does not ruin the game. Two thirds of all killstreaks being AI controlled however ruins an [u]FPS[u/]. If I want to do the killing I buy an FPS. If I want to watch the console/PC kill people for me I buy an RTS game.

Robert bowling's "all you dedicated, knowledgable and experienced PC gamers are idiots and I'm here to lie to your face" speach didn't ruin MW2. A map pack at £12.99 didn't ruin MW2. The game being 33% more expensive than usual didn't ruin the game. Removing mods didn't ruin the game. Removing the command console didn't ruin the game. All the reviews online being fake (I thought this was shocking, all of the online reviews by people we trust like IGN were all vetted by activision before release, if activision didn't like the review they simply declined the journalist the right to review the product before release) didn't ruin the game HOWEVER ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER ADD UP to a very broken consumer-publisher relationship and mistrust.

There are plenty more. However I believe that so many elements of MW2 being majorly flawed all add up to OUTWEIGHING THE POSITIVE BITS OF MW2.

abc, i never stated what particular gun ruined the game, alli do is list the op weapons which contributed to it

ThanatosRising

You tell me to not make assumptions while you're doing the same thing?

Imunality

The only thing that bothered me with this game are the deathstreaks. Rewarding bad people isn't exactly balancing. If you complain about weapons, then use the fucking gun and kill the other guy if you're so ~*pro*~.

Do you have problems with commando? Use ninja and turn your volume up and you can hear them coming from miles away.

dhoop17

This and the spawns are the only two things that really make me rage in this game (that and lag, but that isn't IW's fault).

first of all, none of my 10 classes have the noob weapons and spray devices. i don't tube and do all those shit considered overpowered. so before you say shit don't think of me like you, cause most likely all your classes are made of tubes and g18 and steadyaim shit.

Platy

The main problem with MW2 is threads like these.

During the past three days, I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 a lot, especially because of the double exp weekend. But I've realized that I am joining a lot of games that are either almost over or already over right when I get in. I think this is a big problem with MW2 and I've noticed that it doesn't only occur with me, but many other people as well. The only problem is, is that 1) It's too late for Infinity Ward to do anything about it, and 2) I'm not sure if Infinity Ward could do anything about it. It really upsets me when I get in a losing game of Domination, with a score of 53-187, or a game of Search and Destroy and the score is 0-3.

abc

That's a very good point...

I swear back in the good old days of COD and COD2 the only "noob" weapon was the shotgun, but COD4 and MW2 seem to have inspired a new level of hate and have increased the use of the word "douchebag" 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fold!

^ Funny coincidence that those games were played by ADULT gaming enthusiasts.
