On topic, I'll be getting MW2 regardless of the quality (though I think it will be pretty good). so many friends are getting it, and having a lot of good people to play with can make even the worst game enjoyable.

I love your new sig. I have a mac and can't play either.

Not a change in Hell, mate.

For me MW2 will be the epic fail in the COD series.
Fully automatic weapons everywhere
No pistol as 2nd weapon, but shotgun or uzi (just to add to the weapon overkill)
death streak need i say more
more powerfull kill streaks than the chopper of MW1 (already hated that one)

MW was the worst COD in my opinion, the skills needed are just 0. 99% of the weapons kills in a blink of an eye, and have 100rounds per mag, and a reload time of 0.1sec. Adding to this the non stop grenade spamming, makes terrible gameplay.

Just give me WW2 weapons.... bolt action snipers that require skill, semi automatic rifles and maps that end in some long-ranged fights as well.
MW people keep on laughing about the MP40 in COD5, but all weapons in MW are like the MP40 in COD5.


ANYWAYSSSSSS, what i'm saying is 'nop, im not leaving for MW2 , im gonna keep playing some BOP and more 1946, and if the patch should come, I will play a lot of BOP

After a set amount of deaths (3, 4, 5, &6) without a kill, players will use the deathstreak they have selected for their class.

They have also increased the amount of points from 10 pts per kill to 100, probably so it seems "cooler" to the 12 year olds that think this game was the first FPS ever made.

The best thing (and probably the only thing I will play regularly) is Spec-Ops. Two person Co-op levels which have some pretty cool twists, like one person controlling the guns on the AC-130 protecting their buddy on the ground.

And finally, to top that all of, they now have a game ending killstreak. The "Tactical" Nuke at 25 kills Once used, the game will automatically end with a win for your team...

Take a look at the description for the AC-130 bonus:

"Deploys an chopper via laptop that the player controls. However, the user is defenseless while commanding the chopper."



EDIT:

I looked around on the website some more, and there will be a heartbeat sensor (fictional) you can attach to your gun. Really, the only thing I'm excited about is that they decided to include more than just the most popular weapons, and now will have guns like the TAR-21, FAMAS, etc. The FAMAS was my favorite weapon in Rainbow Six Vegas.

Don't get me wrong... I don't think MW is the best game in the world... Nor do I expect MW2 to be the best game of all time...

But your statement makes no sense. MW2 is poised to be the #1 selling game of all time. (Unless you want to count Wii Sports into the equation)

Soooo... The game has over 2,000,000 preorders for both platforms... And that was a month ago. Yeah... IW is definitely on a death spiral. And like you Lex... I can definitely tell you that MW 2 is going to be garbage... Because we've both spent hours already playing it.

AND... If there's problems with the game... I doubt Infinity Ward is going to be able to put out patches to fix any issues. (That was a direct shot at 505)/Sarcasm

Lex... Your statement was just plain ignorant my friend.

Its not ignorance my friend, its experience. Ive seen exactly the same circumstances of a dev houses failures and I see the same pattern emerging with IW.

You see its like this; First of all they have basically given the PC gaming players the finger and told them that there will be no basic PC features in the title, everything will be console generic. In other words, no mods, no custom maps, no dedicated servers, no admins.

What that means its that online its going to devolve in to spam fests and camping 24/7 with no way of sorting it (since no admins!). Coupled with constant rage quitters/hackers/bot users/total a-holes/ and TK buddies online mode is going to die a very very quick death.

Now you can say that the console sales should overway these factors, but remember this. Just because I may own a console does not mean I dont also game on PC. So I am one sale thats never going to happen on any platform. Now expand that to the general number of console owners and you seeing a sales hit already. If you go by the number of people who have signed the petition against MW2, and that holds true of lost sales then that is one serious financial hit.

Now Im not saying the dev house is going to die overnight, its not Flagship studios (what a failure!) but once you loose what is considered a core fanbase you loose respect. Similar design decisions are taken again and again, and it in turn alienates more and more of the fanbase till your hanging on by a thread.

Don't mind the mistakes on that site It's fan made, although everything included is accurate.

I can't help myself, I will always mind spelling and grammar mistakes.

I'll be playing MW2 without a doubt. Not as much skill involved as IL2 but at least your guaranteed a game evertime you search and if it needs patching.... it will be patched pretty quickly.

IL2 is just gathering dust now, i feel that weve been let down with the patch. I think this was planned!! it costs to release a patch, so they have been making us sweat and watching us drop one by one, now they will say "not enough player opr interest to warrant the patch, cancel it"

can see it happening already
