Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 discussion thread

[boise49ers]

All I said is don't believe the hype about Activisions BIG claim. I want to hear other sources because right now its just a publisher saying they have the best product ever made without any proof. Also I refuse to play that crap. I still have what some of you may have forgotten. Integrity.

I realize that , but you have to admit you have been super negative thru this whole thread and I'm just saying wait and see. I understand what this means to the mod community, but it still may end up to be one of the best out there so don't sell yourself off just yet. Just advise from an old fart
I'm still goona bouce questions off you like I have before. There is no doubt you know your shit a hellava lot more then I do.

Well a friend let me play the game at his house. I was looking forward to play the SP.

Played 5 min of it and got bored, wasn't compelled to play it anymore. I'm sure it gets interesting, but I felt like I was play a COD 4 Expansion Pack and not MW 2.

Played online and got red bar the first time.

Guess we wait for MW 3 to see if they do things right again. If they even go that far, probably will.

LOL, bored after 5 minutes, yeah right! Infinity Ward did good, face it! Dont jump on the MW2 hate bandwagon just for the sake of it.

It seems that Infinity Ward do indeed take into account the option to make use of dedicated servers. A curious gamer has all the files because of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 also gone through, and there was something surprising from it.

Between all files is because a "normal" config-file, as is also present in Call of Duty 4, although the PC version not "console" contains. Open this file, you will see the following:

server settings (note the sv_) server settings (note the sv_)

seta sv_allowDownload "1"
seta sv_floodProtect "1"
seta sv_hostname "CoD4Host"
seta sv_maxclients "8"
seta sv_maxPing "0"
seta sv_maxRate "25000"
seta sv_minPing "0"
seta sv_reconnectlimit "3"

Filter Settings:

seta ui_browserFriendlyfire "-1"
seta ui_browserKillcam "-1"
seta ui_browserMod "0"
seta ui_browserShowDedicated "0"
seta ui_browserShowEmpty "1"
seta ui_browserShowFull "1"
seta ui_browserShowPassword "-1"
Do you want a look? The "config_mp.cfg" file can be found in "\ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ call of duty modern warfare 2 \ players"

Does this mean that Infinity Ward Be it short long run will provide support for dedicated servers? We have to wait and see.

Edited.

Indeed I found pieces of the console and the name "modern warfare 2 winconsole"

There's a stripped down version ("modern warfare 2 console" , with no input line , and examining the exe shows unprecedented evidence that there is a console but was disabled the very last time , very last time , even after the manual was made , so I don't buy that "misprint" crap(I have contacted activision support like an avg user who looks into manual but can't get console working , they said ,"it's a misprint. There is no console in PC version of the game" (like there even IS in consoles lol)

And you can examine the EXE your self , just use notepad , that info isn't coded , a lot of readable text actually.

I know I was pissed about the no mod support and dedicated servers, but I actually bothered to try the game thinking surly the story mode was up to its hype. It just didn't cut it for me.

I can now honestly say I'm not all for this game, It just didn't draw me in. I see no improvement graphically and it had the same base story line as MW 1 (and TBH I only played the first for its online, which kicked ass). It was like 5 min not including the training. I do like the way the blood is splashed on the screen, looks nice and the controls were good didn't even have to tweak the mouse. My friend was pissed with the buy, I didn't persuade him not to get though I cause I wanted to try it out too, he he. Glad he paid and not I.

I can see why others would like it, its an FPS, if you are die hard about them then whats not to like.

 

[kid41212003]

Ok, my honest opinion:

The shooting is awesome! The plot is fucked up!
A Korean/Japan drama story line plus awesome action!

It does not WORTH $60!

Exactly the same as me My 7 year old son has completed Borderlands now and left me behind on it because Ive been engrossed in cod6 lol

You havent even scratched the surface m8 with just 5 mins of play (maybe 10 including training)

 

[mab1376]

Personally I'm about halfway done with the PC version and I think its phenomenal, definitely a lot of captivating environments, and intelligent AI.

So far so good.

Yeah I'm sure and when the price goes down I'll probably pick it up for PS3 cause I like to play on the big screen and I don't think lag will be as much as a problem for it there.

What am I waiting to see? IW grow some balls and cut the airport scene out in the next patch? Yeah you're right. Ill wait for that to happen.

Please this game is crap. It has less gameplay features than the first CoD and yet people are praising it for its "depth". The marketing machine is the best thing about this game. The only one better that I have seen is Apples.

So have fun giving in to consolization. Have fun paying for DLC. Have fun with it all.

I just found this quote on the Steam forums pertaining to MW2. This guy knows where this is all going.....

We cave in and 'just try the game' - we give them vindication that what they did was right, while locking ourselves into short lifespan games, pay-to-play DLC, an already broken anti-cheat system and no ability to enjoy the communities we all enjoyed so much ( I used to join servers just for the players I met there ).

Face it... we're f-ed in the A... Bobby 'Dark Sith Lord' Kotick has made his intentions clear, he wants to turn video games into packaged products. A game that can be modded stays alive for 2-3yrs off the work of modders who don't charge anything for their contributions. Where's the profit in that when millions of tweens will buy a new MW2 every 6mos and every DLC pack in between. Meanwhile the 'hardcore' gamer, the ones who MADE this industry find themselves saddled with debt (mortgages, medical bills, kids... responsibility) and less disposable income. Compare that to the console kids, they put their MS Points on mom/dad's credit card and just grab everything they can (because "it's not like it's REAL money").

Seriously, Bobby and his minions have wet dreams about the new gamer generation. They are complete trend♥♥♥♥♥s who will lap up every new installment of a series regardless of the fact that it's the same engine, mechanics, etc. They don't analyze their purchases, they don't care about tactics, they just want to bunny hop around and teabag all the corpses.

I am so let down by the current trend in the gaming market, I am finding myself praying for another great game market implosion like we saw in the mid 80s.

And this one just made me laugh

I loved shooting up that airport

I'd have bought it for that level alone.

Smart ass.

 

[3870x2]

Smart ass.

you do realize that the level is skippable? it asks you before you even start to the game. They actually cater to those who think it is inappropriate, and that was very nice of them.

As for those who keep saying stupid sh1t about this thead, fuck off, please. You have ruined this thread to no end, and since every other MW2 thread keeps getting merged with this one, all we can do is wade through your garbage whining about a game you keep saying you dont want to buy. Get the fk off this thread, please, so that we can have a MW2 thread.
This should be a message for the mods also, who continue to let them trash this thread, and keep killing all other threads trying to get away from them.

I'm sorry if not everyone thinks MW2 is the greatest thing on earth. But them are the breaks. We are disscussing the game. Not giving it a hand job.

Also I dont care if they let you skip that level. It was BS to put it in there to begin with.

I didn't skip it, and I didn't think it was that bad until I played it...

Seriously, 1 out of 1 million people will skip the mission, because they "mis-clicked" the wrong option. The rest wanted to get the most out of their $60, and choose Yes to play it.

Father: The movie has some sexual content, please skip it.
13 years old son: Oh yes, I will! (watch it)

Fixed.

 

[AphexDreamer]

There is realy no pont in any kind of debate.

You either

A. Like the game buy it and enjoy it

or

B. Don't like the game, don't buy it and don't play it.

Everything else anyones says weather its good or bad doesn't matter.

What does matter is that they respect the customer.

 

[shevanel]

C. don't buy. play it. not impressed by it. which leads to...

D. glad i didn't buy it.

 

[Marineborn]

guess what if you dont like the discusssion thread theres MW2 club, go there and do all your praising of how godly this 5 hr game is, ive sat threw longer credits

 

[Wile E]

I still refuse to give them more money for less content than the last 2 games. If it was only $40, I might have considered it, but not for $60.

Nope, I will be finding the full free demo, and IW can kiss my ass.

yeah i didn't skip it either, i had no clue what it would be. but doesn't take long to figure it out though. sure people may find it offensive... big deal shit like that happens in the real world. maybe not actually like that but i can think of some worst things they could added.... much much worst

i don't see it dropping to 40 or below anytime soon. hell Call of Duty: World at War is still $45 at damn walmart. but yeah 60 is insane, especially with the way the economy is in the US

 

[LiveOrDie]

[Scrizz]
