[360, PS3] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Sweet im like only a few levels away from 18xx shotgun :)

Looking at killcams, there seems to be a great deal of aim assist, for some reason, or it could be oddities as a product of lag. There is a bit of aim assist with all of the guns, I think, but for some reason that gun seems to have greater accuracy. Maybe it is the spread of both guns in combination with the high damage that creates a large kill zone.
 
I think there is a balance to the game. The akimbo shotgun and the extended melee are a bit out of whack, but they don't ruin the game. COD4 had the P90 with double tap and/or steady aim.

P90 may have seemed overpowered, but it wasnt. The damage was 30-20, less than that of the MP5 (40-20).

I dont mind the extended melee, but they shouldnt be invincible while stabbing you. The invincible stabbing and akimbo shotties definitely make the gameplay unbalanced. Maybe not ruin the game, but I feel like it's turning the game into a direction that I dont really like.

P90 wasn't overpowered at all. You where much better off with MP5 doubletap\stop power + steady aim.

P90 lacked firing power.

I always played hardcore mode, so the power really didn't make much of a difference. The rate of fire and the accuracy were all that really mattered.

I prefer the hardcore modes, and it tends to change the weapons and perks I use quite a bit. I basically never play softcore without stopping power and tend to lean towards damage over rate of fire. Hardcore I worry less about damage and try to gain the benefits of rate, and maybe go for something with a longer clip.
 
I never really liked the hardcore modes, because of the allmost 1 shot 1 kill. To much randomness and to dependant on good connections for my liking

I also use stopping power all the time in softcore. Having a hard time justifying swapping it for anything else.
 
welp if you can't beat em join em I guess. I really like using ninja, but since I die way more by getting stabbed I'll just use commando from now on -__-
 
Patch 1.06 is out. Fixes the javelin glitch, infinite care packages and the map glitching (like in Afghan).
 
Double shotguns have the impression of being really deadly but I don’t see people using them getting good kill numbers at the end of a match. The range is just too poor and I can usually burn them down before they get in range. I usually roll P90 extended mag or silenced/Marathon/Lightweight/Ninja and run around a lot. I used to be the knife king but have started using it less and less. The refresh time on melee is really long and if there is more than one person in the area I will just get wasted. The knife sound is really obvious when you know what to listen for. Personally I hate grenade launchers. Those things are such bullshit.

I just bought the game for 360 and am liking it a lot more than on PC. So many hackers on PC it is just stupid. I’d play for about an hour and there would always be a match where some dude goes 35/2 and the match ends in like 4 minutes.

What game type? I end probably 50% of all FFA matches i play within 4-5 minutes if people dont shoot down my killstreak bonuses quickly enough..
 
Yeah, it is totally possible to do it legit. I remember the other day there were these two dudes I played a few rounds with and one guy would have the shield and the other had a m240. These guys would just clean house, it was crazy how coordinated they were. Whoever had the machine gun was getting 35-40 kills a round, and they weren’t camping, they were actively moving around the map. It was pretty sweet to watch.
 
Gah terrible day, dropped from 2.5 to 2.4 :(

Shield\ M240 combo is something i havent thought about. Definately need to try it.

Seconded. Had my worst day yesterday. At some point, a mate and me played Headquarters Pro and were up against 4 level 66 prestige guys (probably all playing as a party as they were very coordinated) and another two although lower, but still higher than we all were. At the end, they set up a high defensive camp around the defending point and kept the game going until the time eventually ran out. These guys ended up having around 60 kills.
 
60 kills combined? Or each?

60 kills each. The game went on for ages (we played the entire 15 or 20 minutes that is the default for headquarters Pro matches). You could say it shouldn't be hard to avoid the area they were holding and wait for the game to finish, but while doing that, their helicopters, harriers, predator missiles took care of those. Besides, thanks to UAV and counter-UAV, one or two of them went hunting for those of us who stayed clear of the area they were defending (where the objective was). As people on our team started to leave, it got worse. I didn't because I was in a party and it's not the thing you should do.

I was actually quite happy to get off with 40 deaths to 20 kills in that game considering everyone else had about 60 deaths and the same amount of kills. Once you consider how many of these guys had over 60 kills each, you can imagine how many kill streaks they had going in their favour to finish us off in the other parts of the map.

Ironically that for this match, I ditched the cold-blooded perk in favour of bullet-penetration (I wanted to try out better hitting power), so it was difficult not to be killed by harriers/pavlow/bombers and predator missiles.
 
FFS. My KD keeps dropping. Grrr

As people on our team started to leave, it got worse.

This is why i hate team based matches in cod. Random people leave, or just outright so so much that you cannot win.
