I guess they've never seen me play.

As said by others, I'm not expressly saying that console shooters are a bad thing (although I personally dislike them and find them to be dumbed down, as far as you can dumb donw something that involves shooting people), but this game now seems exclusively designed for the causal console gamer.

In fact scratch the "casual gamer" comment, as that only fuels their belief that all PC gamers are hardcore cyber hackers on steroids. Cunts.

Replace "casual gamer" with "gamer who doesn't realise that spending £40 for a £25 game and then another £5-10 every other month for little scraps of additional content that should/could be free is bullshit"

Doesn't warrant it's own thread, but here's the supposed list of killstreak rewards for MW2

Code: Select all

3 Kills -- UAV
4 Kills -- Care Package
4 Kills -- Counter UAV
5 Kills -- Sentry Gun
5 Kills -- Predator Missile
6 Kills -- Precision Airstrike
7 Kills -- Strike
7 Kills -- Attack Heli
8 Kills -- Emergency Airdrop
9 Kills -- Pave Low
9 Kills -- Stealth Bomber
11 Kills -- Chopper Gunner
11 Kills -- AC-130
15 Kills -- EMP
25 Kills -- Tactical Nuke

Not sure what some of those do, but the nuke supposedly ends the game. Yes, if someone gets a 25 killstreak the game stops. I think my highest killstreak in cod4 was 31 or 32, and I know chicken also had a 25+ killstreak...
Every single thing I've heard about MW2 (including some major SP spoilers) has made it sound more and more retarded, it's like they took cod4 - a great game - ran it through some kind of idiotic 13 year old mind felcher, beat it with a stick and ta-da! Our new masterpiece!

I call bollocks on that list, it's ridiculous, far too many rewards and far too stupid. If anything it looks written on purpose to antagonise people.

AC130 has been confirmed already (first trailer, IIRC)

and I saw a big page of customisable perks in another video. so doesn't seem unpossible

All those rewards up to AC-130 have been shown by activision types at demo days. The only ones in doubt are the emp and nuke.

There's videos on youtube of nuke death. Some have been pulled by activision. Are they real? Who knows! Has it made anyone on here more likely to buy a copy for mp now? Rather doubtful.

The AC-130 at 11-kills is about the only sensible one though, as it'll basically just act like a more powerful version of the helicopter (:lol:).

The drops are pointless, a sentry gun reward is just silly for technical reasons and gameplay. The precision bomb attack is pointless as an airstrike would be better in 99% of the times unless it's got completely unfair splash damage to give it a penetration factor. EMP will do nothing on hardcore mode except remove UAV's, although it would be a right pita on non-hardcore if it fuxxored the HUD. And a tactical nuke? Kill the enemy team, your team, and then yourself which'll end the kill streak and end the match if 'Slinger is right? Pfft.

If it is true, by crikey, they're going to kill the game for everyone, not just PC players.

It'll be the most successful cod game to date, sadly

This is probably true, but only because the retardo-13-year-old felcher Gunslinger discovered (I say discovered because I reckon he hacked their system and found out that's what really happened) will appeal to retardo-13-year-olds and people of an equivalent mindset, of which there are many. Probably not for all these new 'features' though, but just because it's COD.

Sounds like fun. I heard you get railgun and fez items with pre-orders.

Seriously, I don't see why people are so against these changes. So maybe it turns out to be worse than cod4 and somehow ends the universe? Personally I'll take that chance, sure as hell beats playing yet another generic 'epic' cash cow.

OBAMA WANTS CHANGE!

I think you missed a point somewhere cashy.

Fix'd for point.

True, it's a bitch that the days of being killed by a falling piano are over, which is a shame, but other than the whole server/mod fiasco the entire internet generally seem to be bitching about everything that's different in the game. Give po' man a chance is all I'm saying, could still be a great game. Could also be utter shit, but then as is life.

Um. That's exactly what CoD42 is.

Well you're quite right in that nobody has played it yet and so it's reactionary to say 'I'm never going to play this game because it's shit'. However, personally I've not heard a single thing that appeals to me, and stuff like a console style (non) server system, 3rd party view, and juggernauts make me not very interested. The outrageous price tag remains the reason why I won't even try it.

Post by **HereComesPete** » November 4th, 2009, 23:11

I had it on order at a reasonable price, but the things that makes me pre-judge are the matchmaking and the massive backward step in terms of player numbers and admin control. It looks nice, but I want the abilities of control and modification that its predecessor (which is shit for other reasons) and cod4 have.

The price tag on non-preorder AAA console games was what made me put the 360 in its box in the wardrobe, they're fucking silly and I just don't want to pay that much.
