[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;19543936]I got MW2 for 360, played through the SP and just quit after a couple rounds in multiplayer, I was so pissed I have not played it since.[/QUOTE] The singleplayer was shit too. They added in a few random snowmobile things and called it variety. The pacing was terrible- constant samey shooting action. [QUOTE=SirQuacks;19544526]Wow didn't all of the game reviews say it was really balanced? EDIT: Oh wait maybe they got payed to give high scores.[/QUOTE] This appeals to the conspiracy theorist in me, but it's probably because: a. They're not really bright. and b. It was too early to tell anyway. Multiplayer really can't be reviewed unless it's decently retrospective. If it's scored from the get-go, it'll probably be incredibly favorable compared to later impressions.
[QUOTE=rapperkid04;19545127]You guys are arguing that something available to everyone is unbalanced. Learn to use what you have or get better. Don't whine about your lack of skill.[/QUOTE] seriously guys, learn how to spawn out of designated spawn areas and/or dodge chopper gunner rounds
What I don't like about infinity ward's game design is that they try to pass off imbalanced mechanics with the logic that because everyone can use the mechanic it isn't imbalanced. The double shotguns, including the rangers, fall under this basis. I know from experience how broken it is to be able to look at some one and push the triggers once or twice and get a guaranteed kill. It isn't even fun to deal death that way after a while other than the sadistic delight in getting the kill because you know your opponent couldn't do a fucking thing about it. That is what really pisses me off about noobtubes and other mechanics. Your opponent has no opportunity to save themselves once you see them. It's lights out.
Infinity Ward doesn't really care about balance. Dual shotguns aren't going to change, the care package glitch isn't going to get fixed, and the tube is just ridiculous.
gonna go try this
got a good run with this, always 1th,2th or 3th with that kit. I don't even play MW2 normally anymore.
I'm totally going to spam this.

[QUOTE=Smells Like;19546259]look at me guys i can click on a mouse and press 4 buttons look at my ~skill~[/QUOTE] And what games do you play? Derp
Before it even came out and after looking at the gameplay videos I had this sinking suspicion that IW was trying to key this game towards the audience that would look at the shit they added and say "wow that's so fuckin' cool bro". Akimbo shotguns, constant gunfire as the only gameplay mechanic, over the top snowmobile racing that defies gravity, and the list goes on. I like how the guy in the video phrased it, Infinity Ward just threw shit into the game to look cool without actually thinking about it.
I hate this game allow me to rant about it instead of not playing it.
It's boring to play with this.
How no one killed him? He was just standing at the big hall with his noobtube for a minute just looking sideways... It's not unbalanced it's the other team who can't play. I would dominate him with my dual P90 or AUG with stopping power.

IW should have kept the Overkill perk (two primary weapons) instead of creating this exploitable thing.

I am so using this kit now.
[QUOTE=gufu;19547252]Well, you have to remember that he is playing on 360, where accuracy doesn't resolve anything.[/QUOTE] He's playing on the PS3.
[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;19547439]He's playing on the PS3.[/QUOTE] Brainfail. Editing to general "console". Thanks for noticing.
Looked more like the people he was playing with were just stupid. It didn't seem like anyone was even trying to kill him when he was using the grenade launcher. And when he got the helicopter or harriers, one guy with cold blooded and a stinger would have gotten rid of them very quick. [editline]02:23PM[/editline] But yeah, One Man Army is a retarded perk. It can only be used for stupid stuff like this, while being almost completely useless for everything else.

The other people just couldn't reach him.
[QUOTE=Killuah;19549844]You forget that he wasn't alone. He even said he was playing with a good team. The other people just couldn't reach him.[/QUOTE] That kinda brings us to another, more important thing in MW2, the way the game decides who goes on which team. Almost 90% of times I've played, the game ends up being one team where everyone is really good at the game and the other team that consists mainly of players who aren't very good. So a few minutes into the round, it's already obvious which team is gonna win. IWnet needs a new system of choosing who to put on what team. It could do something like look into everyone's stats, what level they are and balance it according to that.
I only use this kit when I'm playing with friends and we want to have a little fun. Any other time I change it to Marathon/Lightweight/Commando Pro w/ M10 and Vector.
I used the grenade launcher once in CoD4 MP. Takes out the challange in the game really.

Fucking horribly unbalanced. I hate when I tell MW2 Fanboys this, and they're like "WELL WHAT'S A BALANCED GAME THEN HUH?" and I'm like "Team Fortress 2" and they're like "WTF, THAT'S GAY"
