Re: Camp Camp Camp and Camp some more

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:59:04 GMT

I don't camp myself, but what does everyone have against camping? People yell at campers in-game as though they are cheating. There is a reason they put flash-bangs, hacker-type perks, and grenades in the game. If you can't defeat a camper by rushing at them though a doorway over and over... maybe you should take another, more thoughtul approach.

To me: Complaining about campers = inexperienced/terrible player.

How do you create classes before gameplay when you dont know what is allowed on a server?

wtf is wrong with the way Black Ops was on the pc? Why not do the same thing?

Mods with no dedis? Is IW joking?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:32:42 GMT

So, If you have been checking gamespy.com, 1up.com, gamespot.com, etc. you will have noticed that Bowling came out and said we might have an announcement on mod tools for PC in the near future. What is the point of modding abilities if we don't have dedicated servers? You can only use them in private matches? I can really see a lot of modders spending hundreds of hours making mods so they can be experienced by their 4 buddies in a private match. Could IW understand PC gaming less?

If you dont think 1887s are OP you are just not being objective.

"Anything can kill anything easily"... You must not be considering hackers, which have recently be a part of ~25% of the games I have played. They are, in fact, the reason for my post.

VAC is a joke compared to Punkbuster.

To IW and console gamers

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:01:41 GMT

To IW:

MW2 is the "Star Wars: Phantom Menace" of gaming. Its overhypedness created tons of profit from suckers (including me), but people quickly realized what a peice of **** it was.

IWNet and P2P are as terrible as people predicted. It would mean a lot to all of us who blew $60 on this game if a representitive of IW would come in here and defend it. Maybe tell us what the future holds. Is IWNet going to get better, or are you all just going to take your money and run?

What is prompting this post is that I just entered 5 different games in a row that were all dominated by hackers. 5 in a row!!!! I see more hacking in this game in any given day than I did in my entire 2 years of MW1.

P2P sadness with constant lag kills... frustrating. Every game of "modern warfare" being dominated by Ninja knifing and Old Western Shottys... ridiculous. Not being able to choose what maps I play... questionable. 59 second intermissions... wtf. The endless hacking... game ending.

To console gamers:

You deserve better than this. I used to think that when PC gaming died I would just switch to consoles. However, after my first console-like gaming experience, I can honestly say I will give up gaming first. I know Xboxes and PS3s can do better than this P2P, 100% factory controlled b.s. You know that frustration you feel when you get thrown onto a map you dont like, enter a game with a hacker, or get lag? I had not experienced that frustration until I played this game. What a damned joke.

It's not completely noobified. First you have to get 75 kills with a handgun. Then u can get TK(tac. knife) and ur super perk. And really, most of you cannot stop complaining. He's camping! He's knifing me! He just shot me! Christ, its a "VIDEO GAME" its not susposed to be realistic. And i love this knifing setup, it makes the game 10x funner than just shooting a gun across the map. You have to be sneaky. You have to get close. And then go in for the kill, ur an ultimate assassin. And most of the time ur in the other spawn place, so u kill one and get shot with the AA-12. So if your complaining about KNIFING, get off the computer, find a spot on ur wall, and smash ur head into it.

getting the 75 kills is the only part that takes skill

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:49:18 GMT

That is good to know. My current internet connection isnt the best, but it has been good enough for COD1 - COD WAW, BF2, BF2142, etc. etc. That being said, I am moving in the next few weeks and should have a better broadband cable connection. Maybe the game will become playable.

Re: BIG IF on dedicated servers???

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:02:35 GMT

I would rather play on dedicated servers with nothing but the default classes and no ranks than endure more of this P2P sadness.

I finally hosted a game and holy &*%^!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:58:17 GMT

So, this weekend I took a break from Modern Warfare 1 to see if this game had improved. I played a few normal rounds getting my normal 1.5 to 1 kill to death ratio (In MW1 was just barely over 3 to 1).

Then I had a miraculous round. I was killing people over and over again before they even got a shot off at me. I finished with an almost 10 to 1 kill to death ratio and owned every headquarters like a son of a *&$%^. I realized about 3 minutes into the match that I was obviously hosting the game (I was one of the few with 4 bars).

What a damned joke. Remember when skill mattered more than the quality of your internet connection?

My connection is crappy enough that I have hosted 1 in 200 games. Now when I get killed by some joker over and over even though, on my screen, I gave him a shotgun blast to the chest, but on his killcam, I didn't even get a shot off, I know why he killed me. Not necessarily because he is a better player, but because IWNet is a damned joke.

Has anyone from IW had the balls to defend IWNet since the game's release? No? Well, they got their money so who cares?... Congratulations IW, you are now the Microshaft of first person shooters. May you be dethroned!

Honestly. 402 does not represent the pc community.

I'm not even sure he's ever played a pc game.

IW should have had a pc community manager.

Im also afraid that Treyarch will be forced down the same road with its next game. I really hope not. They have a good community manager who spends a lot of time helping/working with the modders. After all Nazi Zombies was an idea from the mod community they implemented and it kept that game afloat.

I cannot blame this disaster entirely on IW, Im pretty sure its more activision's fault. But IW could have at the very least stick up for the little guys.

Good point... if Treyarch releases their next game with dedis we should all buy 10 copies to make a point.

It's not ridiculous, if you have those attachments you really do have to knife. If you are far away and have Stopping power, he won't be able to knife you from 5ft+ if that. If you only knife with that class your are not going to do overly well compared to those sniping or "running'n'gunning" style.

Well, you may be right. I can tell you that when I was doing it, I was decimating people left and right. Definitely getting more kills than I do in regular play.

How do you feel about knifing in MW2?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:21:43 GMT

Just curious... I think that with the combat knife attachment, marathon, and commando, it is a little ridiculous.

Every game I play seems to have at least 1 guy that uses nothing but knives to kill people. Yesterday I played a game with three of them. I have played games where a third of the kills where knife kills. Is this Modern Warfare or Shinobi Showdown?

In past COD games melee killing was an artform... often a risky kill, and a bit of a badge of honor. In this game it has just gotten annoying for me. I can say from hypocritical first hand experience, it is easier than noobtubing.

That is my take... what is yours?

Sucks ya had ta waste $60 man. They think they have a good product here, so be sure not to buy the next inxtallment, it does matter.

You are right, but in some ways I almost wish PC sales would have been higher. It might even give us some bargaining power with these bastards. At this point, I don't think IW sees anything but Xbox.

laul to me its a cluster *** of no ends. nade spam, instant deaths. i dont get it so please tell me why everyone is bitching about having no huge servers.

Nade spam was bad... juggernaut was bad... I was happy they got rid of those things. In several ways they improved on the last game.

50+ person servers were pure chaos. They were awesome. It felt like a war... not a skirmish. It is not like you have to play on 50+ person servers... a lot of people played on smaller servers. I just loved the explosions and the intensity. Lots of people doesnt mean skill-less btw. It is just a different mentality. In a lot of ways I think it was much more difficult than these little skirmishes.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:33:06 GMT

I said IW has never let me down, so I would give them a chance. I trusted them, bought this game, and truly regret my purchase. I thought all the boycott criers were over-reacting, but I now know they are just smarter than me. Holy mother of mercy... IWNet really is game killing for me. I have recently gone back to Call of Duty 4, and will never buy a multiplayer game without dedicated servers again.

This is my experience...

COD4:

1) All out wars with ~50 players
2) Sub 60 pings with maxed graphics (and, as stated ~50 players)
3) Playing the maps I like at will
4) Playing with a community... making new friends and enemies on my favorite servers (the first time I knifed this badass guy named Dek in the face I was so proud of myself I almost giggled)
5) Never waiting more than 15 seconds between the action

COD6:

1) Skirmishes that average 10 players (And maps are pretty damn close to the same size as COD4 maps... unbalanced for more players my ass)
2) ~160 pings with lower graphics and less players
3) Entering and exiting games constantly to avoid the particularly shitty maps and consequently suffering endless intermission, unable to migrate host, and unable to connect to host problems
4) Playing with strangers that mean nothing to me
5) Shorter games with a minimum of 1 minute intermission which is usually extended as people leave or IWNet malfunctions... And Host Migration... wtf. Nothing like being in the middle of the action and everything just stops. It is like trying to watch an action movie, and your 3 year old has the remote control... randomly pausing your movie. Annoysmemuch... yes.
