No idea at this point. I know if you have a riot shield, you can't hold a gun, so that's some balance.

Lean is a terrible feature in FPS, might as well just allow wall hacking

speaking of which, what do they use for anti-cheat on the pc?  is punkbuster still around?

and that 0 ping advantage for the host?  why?

Lean has been a part of Call of Duty since its inception, there is absolutely no reason to take it out, just because consoles don't have it.  It is a good feature.  Punkbuster is still around, but MW2 is using VAC, which lets you play for a week after it catches you cheating before it bans you.

0 ping host advantage should be obvious.  Ping your own IP and it will be less than 1ms.

Also, no /record function = :flush:  No mod tools = :flush:  9v9 limit = :flush:  No ability to kick players from match = :flush:

I know what lean is, and it's stupid.  It promotes corner camping and lame gameplay.  Shouldn't have lasted to CoD4.  It gives an unfair and stupid advantage to the camping geeks who live and die by there K/D instead of playing the game for fun.

I understand why a host server has 0 ping, duh.  I don't understand why they would allow it.  0 ping/LAN gives an incredible advantage to the host player, they can and should at least give him some artificial lag to level the playing field.  That's all I meant. 

I remember during Quakecon qualifiers we played 4 Kings on a Chicago server.  We had 20-40 ms pings, 4k (from England) were running like 140.  They killed us  :lol: but it makes it hard for both sides.

Oh well.  How well does VAC work and how, screenshots?  I might need to research it on the intrawebs.  PB sucks.

Did he send you the PC game or a console game?  Plus, reasonably good chance your PC won't be able to handle it.

OK, TONS of maps, played for 2 hours and played the same maps maybe twice.  There are tons more places to go within the maps, buildings, roofs etc.  And they are really big.

Guns early on a very similar to each other IMO, waiting for one that I LOVE.  Tons of kill streak perks, some are interactive that you can control.  Haven't gotten one but have gotten very close.

Ground war and TDM is all I played and Ground war can get very hectic.  TDM on the big maps is interesting.  A really good sniper can completely own the place.

Pretty good.

Walked out of Gamestop last night around 1 and had mw2 ripped to my xbox and was playing by 1:30am.  Played until noon today.  Took a few hours to rest the eyes and then played this evening.  14 hours of playing time so far.  Will probably be over 1 day play time by Friday night. 

Love most of the maps.  Lots of aggressive rushing type players on xbox live.  Most of the maps seem to favor more patience and posting up with cover (camping).  Love Afghan, the chickens, and the dead cows. 

I'm not very good but getting better.  My K/D is over 1 and that's really all I can hope for.

Played a lot of MP tonight. The M4 is greatly improved. The SCAR-H is awesome though. The maps are awesome. Like said before, there are tons of them and they have a ton of detail to them. Welcome back CTF. That game type is FUN on these maps. The riot shield works well, as do the other perks and stuff. Thermal scope is great.

Favorite map? Wasteland.

Favorite kill streak? AC 130 just can't be beat.

what is different from Call of Duty 4?  Better graphics/gameplay?  Or just new maps?

Probably buying it tonight, have tomorrow off.

Post by: ew2x4 on November 11, 2009, 09:54:41 AM
Cire- it's 11, but I got it through the care package. I unlocked the harrier and have been getting it quite regularly. That's 7 I think. Predator Missile is pretty great. I'm also around 20 or so. I got a pretty long kill streak with the AC 130. Switch to the middle sized gun and go to town.

Things different from CoD4- The game play and controls are pretty similar, thank God. But the maps are much more involved. There's always some form of high ground. You can get on roofs, etc. alot more frequently. Also, the environment is destructible. Customization is out of this world. Each gun has 7? attachments and 5-7 paint jobs. Each with tons of challenges. The perks now have a pro version that unlocks a better perk (Get so many kills with Stopping Power to unlock Stopping Power Pro which increases damage on vehicles). The callsigns seemed useless at first, but there are a few hundred Titles to unlock so it's fun to see what everyone has. You get points for everything. Multikills, shooting down helicopters, even stupid stuff like reloading the most times in a game or looking through a scope for the longest time. Graphics have definitely been improved. The blood splatter effect is awesome, and when an explosion occurs near you, you get a mud splatter effect. Nothing really influences gameplay, but it makes it so much more submersive.

the maps seem crowded to me.  i keep getting shot in the ear, or the ass.  the forward facing one on one's don't happen enough, it's like ants just running around all over the place without much flow to them.

of course part of that is me not caring about k/d and just running around until i see someone to shoot.

I had the same problem, but once I learned some of the maps I got pretty good at knowing what to expect. There are a couple maps that are very Carentan/Chinatown esque. Way too maze like. Love the openness of the snow level with trains and Wasteland though.

yeah I really like the open levels.

lots of the fighting takes place over a distance which is really cool IMO.

overall their is like a million times more to this game in MP than COD 4.  There is just a ton going on.

Can you not do private chats in a party anymore? 

I was playing last night, and a guy sent me a private chat invite and a party invite (which use to work fine in both COD4 and COD5), but when we tried to enter a standard hardcore deathmatch (NOT mercenary) it gave us a notice that we had to quit our private chat and open up our communications to the group.   :yuck:

This is the only thing I dislike about htis game.  No private party chats.  You have to go into game chat with all the little kids yelling n!gg3r and f@gg0t all the time.  I toggle mute the whole room except my friends but it's really ridiculous.  It also sucks to think you're getting owned by a 12 year old racist.

I was playing last night, and a guy sent me a private chat invite and a party invite (which use to work fine in both COD4 and COD5), but when we tried to enter a standard hardcore deathmatch (NOT mercenary) it gave us a notice that we had to quit our private chat and open up our communications to the group.   :yuck:

This is the only thing I dislike about htis game.  No private party chats.  You have to go into game chat with all the little kids yelling n!gg3r and f@gg0t all the time.  I toggle mute the whole room except my friends but it's really ridiculous.  It also sucks to think you're getting owned by a 12 year old racist.

Agreed. I'm fine with it in gametypes like Search and Destroy, but TDM? comeon.

the maps seem crowded to me.  i keep getting shot in the ear, or the ass.  the forward facing one on one's don't happen enough, it's like ants just running around all over the place without much flow to them.

of course part of that is me not caring about k/d and just running around until i see someone to shoot.

sounds great.  i like to hide in a corner and shoot people from a distance, i kinda suck at moving around and close-range stuff.  did i hear that there are new perks for guys like me that suck and die a lot?
ya there are 4 death streak perks


I haven't even tried the single player game yet.  Spent a few hours last night just trying to get my bearings.  I'll be locked and loaded for real action tonight or tomorrow.

I also want to add that Host Migration is AWESOME. Yeah, we've all had it with Halo and the like for a while now, but it's so much faster than them. I was back in the game within 1-2 seconds.

I'll probably start campaign tonight or tomorrow.

Anyone been in a game yet where a tactical nuke went  off?  I haven't.

I was in one last night when an electromagnetic pulse went off.  Crazy.  It makes your entire screen a little hazy, removes your map, and no one can use their red dot sights.

I'm at level 35 I think.  I'm a trainwreck.  I couldn't sleep last night because I was dreaming about setting up my killstreak classes and couldn't make up my mind. I kept waking up.  Crazy.

I think the maps absolutely promote camping.  The guy rushing into the fight is a dead man.  You HAVE to be sneaky and find good spots and move around.  I went 37-5 yesterday in a game of domination.  I had a corner of the map figured out and was running from point to point getting shots off at both ends and avoiding detection.  Called in a Pavelow and it wiped out 18.  Great fun.

I have some ideas on a new setup tonight that I can wait to try.

I was rocking it out tonight. I adjusted my kill streaks so I have Predator Missile, Harrier Airstrike (basically an airstrike, then the harrier will float in a spot and take people out like a helicopter), and an AC130. I called in 2 AC 130s in no time. Had a few games in a row where I went like 25-4. I've been using the SCAR with the thermal scope. That thing is pretty cool. Run out of ammo too fast though. I also killed a guy with a riot shield, picked it up, then got 3 kills with it. My friend I was playing with got up on the roof in Highrise and went 27-4 and called in a nuke. First one I've experienced. Pretty cool. In another game, he called in a helicopter gunner and he went 41-0. wtf.

SCAR with ACOG and silencer right here, bitches.  Totally agree that it runs out.  May have to switch to scavenger just to get the extra magazines bonus perk.

I never played MW1, and I was slow through the pit, so I started on Regular.  I think it took me maybe 4-5 hours total.  I'm going to go back through on Hardened though -- I only found 2 of the intel items on the first run through.

There is nothing satisfying about chainmail.

There's alot of stuff going on in MW2, so mind will be blown. I mean, you can either go with your class with the .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle with a thermal scope or you can go assault with your SCAR-H with ACOG Scope and heart beat sensor. Maybe your side arm should be a fully automatic AA12 shotgun? Not to mention killstreak, perks, pro perks, deathstreaks, titles, emblems, challenges, etc. LOTS of stuff going on.

The nuke is a great tool.  My group plays Domination.  If we're down it has come in handy when our guy sets off the nuke when victory is out of reach. Really pisses the other team off.  Screams of "Camper!" are heard throughout the lobby.  I have heard prestige will give you an extra slot for custom classes but I hardly think it's worth it. I will probably not prestige for a year or so.

Found this on a forum. Everything I've heard from people, you unlock the extra create a class at lvl 4 after you prestige, along with some extra stuff-

Quote
Hello! I registered for this post, after seeing a couple of threads about what happens when you prestige. Most of them were correct, but also missing some vital information. The callsign/emblem thread was so helpful, so I thought I'd be a little helpful too.

I prestiged yesterday and am at level 34 now, and just want to confirm everything here is correct, except there are parts that no one has mentioned. Here's the exact run down:

What you keep:
Titles unlocked
Emblems unlocked
Accolades count
Leaderboard standings

What you do NOT keep:
Any guns, attachments and equipment unlocked
Any Perks unlocked
Any challenges unlocked
Killstreaks unlocked

What you get in addition:
An extra class (unlocked at level 4 with the other classes)
A new Title and Emblem for the prestige (NOT unlocked at level 1, they're at level 2 or 3 or something)
NEW Prestige challenges in addition to the standard list of challenges (unlocked when you first unlock the other challenges)
NEW Gun challenges (in addition to the standard challenges)

I want to give a bit more info on the new challenges. I'm at work now, so I don't have the list with me, but it's pretty standard stuff, kill 20 people that are flashed by stun grenades, 20 people that are killed with flash grenades, get X amount of semtex kills, etc. The Gun challenges appear under the Gun Mastery challenge, and are also standard fare, but with much larger numbers. There's two extra challenges for each weapon, the Veteran (Kills), and Master (Headshot) challenges. The only difference between these and the regular challenges is the amount of kills/headshots is much, much larger. Like the Veteran I challenge starts at 500 kills for 10,000XP. I can only imagine how far up it goes, maybe there's a Veteran V for 10,000 kills or something. Also, the reward for all of these challenges is a Title or Emblem, I'm betting these are where the really rare Titles and Emblems will be.

I don't really remember if there's additional challenges for things like claymores or launchers, but I kind of think there are. Again, I'm at work so I can't check.

The real skinny on the prestige challenges is that you get around double the XP for using a gun. You still get the regular "Get 750 kills with this gun" challenge XP, but you also get the Prestige challenge XP as well. It should make leveling through the prestige levels a bit faster.

So far, I've also seen a few other sort of standard titles and emblems get unlocked as you proceed through the ranks. For instance, I got a "Sarge" with a beret on it, which I'm guessing I got when I hit the Sergeant ranks. Nothing really nutty though.

One final note, you still keep the default classes when you prestige, the new custom class doesn't replace one when you prestige. If you are a a first prestige you'll have all 5 default classes, and 6 custom classes for 11 classes in total.

Edit: I have to stress that all this is just based on the first prestige. I can't tell you if you get 10 extra custom slots for a total of 15 (assuming there's 10 prestige levels) or that there won't be additional challenge categories unlocked by later prestiges. But if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them.

Yeah, I mean I think it can make you a better player starting over sometimes but I've played enough COD games I don't think it could help much.

I played 3rd person for the first time last night. Not sure what to think about it. Feels really weird.

MGS is the only 3rd person shooter I've ever played that felt "right." Then again, I can't remember any other 3rd person shooters I've played.

But damn, MGS was great (for the PSX).

Agreed. Gears of War had pretty good controls as well. Can't think of much else. Maybe SOCOM on the PSX as well, but it's been a while.

I've killed so many people that were using that. One time I just side stepped and knifed the guy. Picked up his sheild and killed 4 of his teammates with it.

Man, IW sure knew what they were doing taking out dedicated server support for PCs.

Check out those connections! (Not my pic, didn't buy this game)

that's pretty good.  Chopper gunner FTW in Groundwar.  The AC 130 isn't good enough IMO.

QFT, I was one kill away from getting my first nuke the other night.  My 24th kill of the streak ended the game  :curse:

I had 3 games in a row where I got killstreaks of over 25. I had just prestiged, so no nukes.

I just got this game like a week ago.  The other day I got a killstreak of like 8 and my hands started shaking I was so nervous.

This game is pretty good. I played with a dude with a "EMAW" clan tag the other night and he was terrible. I think his username was lawnguy or something. Pretty awful.  I went 70-10 on Afghan last night. Ended the game on a 33 kill streak and my chopper gunner was still in the air. I'm probably so good at this game because my penis is so huge and manly.

I constantly get the "most time near enemies" accolade. I am fracking fearless.

Also, I am not good at this game so I probably walk near enemies without seeing them right before they knife me and/or double-shotgun me at close range.

double shotgun pisses me off.  most unrealistic p.o.s. on the game.

I'm done with the &@#%ing game until the care package glitchers are patched out. &@#%ing bullcrap. Played last night 3 games, 3 different lobbies and all 3 had care package glitchers.

"Barfy Bad Farts" is my gamertag. I think.

What were you playing? Play some objective based game types. People rarely glitch on them.

We play domination typically.  We've decided out little group of 5 or 6 is going to set up a glitch killing class and go after them and make their lives hell. maybe split up and follow them from lobby to lobby until they quit.

We play Domination as well. Good mix of killing and objective.
