It has been only 1 day since it has been out. Relax. Fact is, MW2 would not have lasted long if we all went in as green arrows, and I would spend more time on other games 
iāll tell you guys straight up, if none of you are on to play MW i donāt play it anymore. very rarely, anyway. like once a month rarely.
if the spawns are truly that random, like worse than MW2 spawns, i probably wonāt play it. that is one of my biggest gripes in any game - especially when the maps are fucking huge. itās one thing if weāre playing rust and someone spawns on top of me; but fuel? derailed? wasteland, even?
at least MvC2 is a good game.
Iaght, I played for like what 4ā¦5 hours? Just TDM. I didnāt mess around with sniing till the end. This is coming from someone who has only played MW2 in the seriesā¦so WAW doesnāt directly mean anything to me. Goiung to be blunt.

Like I said last nyte, the graphics look like a game or two I have on my iPad, and that is NOT a compliment. There is no lod worth noticing, this is prolly a memory thing with the different model types, but the ācustomizationā so far for my look is something I canthrow in the trash and not look back on. However, I donāt truly care about graphics,but ater playing MW2ā¦its a huge step back with regardsto textures.

Audio, I mentioned this before, and other said as they started during my tenureā¦its fucking sucks. MW2 let you know you were bucking off shots. Where thisbecomes even more important, in MW2 - suppressors were a godsend as it not only masked your location on map, but the muffled sound itself helped out. Now, it doesnāt matterā¦you canāt hear any of the guns. For a game with a budget like this, thats been in development this long, you mean to tell me they couldnāt afford to add power to any of the guns. Go to MW2 and pick the magnumā¦rapid fire it 6 timesā¦thats like the hardest sounding noise youāll ever hear again :sad:
So far graphics and audio are a complete FAILā¦but there is way more to a game.
Maps/Playstyles/Guns/Fun
Maps - so far I kinda like the design of most of the maps. There is a consistencyā¦no longer does it feel like āoh shit derailā or āfuck its fuel VOTE THAT SHITā. The maps are versatile and holey(y)ā¦something I wanted more of from MW2. I absoluytly hated how easy it was to get shut down from HALF THE MAP because of the āthree pathways acrossā philosphy. Now, there are dozens of pourous holes to help you get aroundā¦but there is one huge problem. If you thought the spwning was bad before? Ughā¦you aint seen shit. As mentioned Koop, the difficulty in sniping is now, people will spawn behind eventualy, and not a ālongā eventually, but like youāve got one minute max. Iāve found a few spots that you can nest, but they are SO obvious, that they āscreamā āIām openā. If you want to snipe, youāll need help to cover you, or expect to change locations every 45 seconds to stay alive.
Playstyles - people complained. Treyarch listenedā¦alot. I think people are juming to some conclusions on here about the speed of the game, and the forced gameplay style (I did it out of fear before I played). The pace itself is slower than MW2ā¦but its because of level design and layout. I already have an akimbo SMG Lightweight/steady aim/Marathon class, that helps me shoot past everyone, and honestly, the way folks are ātryingā to camp right now, and the porous nature of the gmaeā¦being aggresive has such a higher reward than holing yourself up. The downside is that if a group is trying to lockthemselves in somewhere, the explosions in the game are too weak to be real effectiveā¦I prolly got like ten nade kills all of last night, and I think I got killed by a nade ONCEā¦you can just outwalk the blast radius. Really it boils down toā¦ and this is important ā¦** the many verse the few**ā¦ if the team is a little cohesive in terms of styleā¦there is no touching themā¦if Koop wants to snipe, if he holes up with a couple other peopleā¦the other team will take SERIOUS losses busting thru if they donāt find a good ānother way aroundāā¦no one *so far is going to randomly tube or nade a window - and scare everyone away. In short, every playstyle from MW2 is somewhat viable in the classical sinceā¦rushing, camping, sniping, with the latter simply requiring some back up due to spawningā¦but increased effectiveness from a team stand point
Guns - so farā¦meh. But Iāve hardly unlocked anything. The biggest differences seem to be LMGs and sniper riflesā¦the two LMGs Iāve used so far have 30/90 and 30/120 bullets w/o ext magsā¦that aint SHIT for an LMGā¦Iām used to the MG4 with 300 bullets stock. Having to use scvenger for an LMG seems weird. Reloads at the speed of a slow AR though. I REALLY like the ālookā and āactivationā for sniper riflesā¦they did a great job with that. To shut down quick scoping, it seems to randomly decide where ācenterā is on the scope when you first zoom inā¦but the zoom itself is pretty good stock. I also feel like QS is still possibleā¦maybe not the no scope version of QS, but the version where you bring it up to your eye and fire before you have full view might still be possibleā¦but its only a feeling. Iāve died from tubing a decent number oftimes already, but theyāve been ALL direct hits. Masterkey seems somewhat effective, but switching to it is slow in regards to oh shit situations, and its damage SUCKS. But I can at least say I already have more kills with the MK than I did in my entire MW2 carear.
Fun - Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, SRK as a group will make or break this game. If we can get teams like we usually do in MW2, it will be a blast still. Theyāll be adjustments, but what made MW2 work for SRK is still all there. IF SRK is flaky about it, then there will be a group of say 10 of usto start, and by Xmas Iāll be playing SSF4 solo instead. I havenāt tried zombies yetā¦but its unlocked from the beginning.

Will be better as soon as i get a new joystick.
If your not picky, I got an HORI EX2 that has no future with me since I got 3 TEs over here and am about to build four more joysticks yay for business picking up. I can always put work in on it to fix it up a little.
Going to get this marriage license then Iāll be on/off all day on XBL.
- :bluu:
I actually never had this problemā¦if anything my WTF moments came from having 5 bars, bucking off shots, dying immediatly, and in killcam watching me not do a gosh darn thing about being shot at.
- :bluu:
Fucking green arrows canāt play this shit.
Koop sniping is worthless, the respawn system is just fucking terrible.
^^^^^ This
Iām fine with adapting to a new game but if people are going to disappear from the game within a month or two, then there is no point.
Iām not convinced on this game, reading reviews it seems only campaign is worth it. Multiplayer is largely unchanged from MW2, kotaku mention 1 new game type, halo 3 fileshare, no new game mechanics so whats the point???
Okā¦ by Friday if not the following Monday I believe you guys that do have the game should be supremely thoroughā¦ right now its not lookin so good. In fact imma get on MW2 tonight JUST to see how many people are still playingā¦
yall really broke my heart bout snipingā¦ really.
Loading the game to the HD now. Picked it up before the store opened and there was maybe a line of 10. And when I get my game there was at least 20. Someone said it was about 200 people at midnight release.
Iāve read/seen a lot bout this game.
and they removed all the shit that annoyed the fuck out of me at MW2.
Like the noobtoobās, The camping encouragement. (killstreak build on eachother) and the skill level was way to low. The first MW2 game I played I was first with best K/D.
I allready figured the GFX where a bit dated.
I still hope this game is good, even tho this thread is saying the opposite.
Im first gonna play it at a friend, then ill consider buying it.
So the new COD came out? I didnt realize it was comming out so soon. Iāll see about renting it next week.
p.s. The riot shield was the best (imo) weapon in MW2, shit, its the only weapon I ever used. It just felt too good to run into a room with 3 or 4 bad dudes and just bash them all to death. It would be nice if it was in this one.
I love this game.
Yes, the spawns are fucked up. But damn it, the game is still really really fun.
Will be getting my copy in a few hours or soā¦I guess nobodyās bothering with the Campaign lol
AK74u.
Famas.
M16.
Beast.
Beast.
Beast.
Let me know how it compares to Halo Reach, provided multiplayer is better/harder than MW2 I might get this
Bunch of bitchin alreadyā¦ get on tonight and letās get a team
Decoy grenades are amazing.
Decoy grenades with claymore assist is crack mode.
Bottom line, if you enjoy COD, you will enjoy this game. Playing with your friends, as with many multiplayer games, is the way to go.
