Wishlist for CoD: MW2

I am compiling a wishlist for what we, as a community want in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I will add your guys' suggestions to the list as we go.

Heres my wishlist:


-Map editing/construction set similar to Hao 3's Forge

-Better thermal/night vision. As it stands now, the night vision can almost never be used to reliably detect a persons heat signature.

-Addition of new guns. I'd love to see the STG-44 (or, in-game in CoD4, MP-44) replaced with an XM8. More variety would be nice too.

-Maps that actually require night-vision. In CoD4, night vision was almost exclusively an impairment in MP. How about a couple maps that you ahve to use night-vision on, due to pitch blackness?

-Better ACOG scopes. I cannot use ACOG scopes right now, because I have a hard time switching between iron-sights, red-dot sight, and ACOG scopes. If they added a cross-hair instead of an arrow in the ACOG scopes, they would be much more useful.

-Multiple weapon attachments at once. There is no reason I cannot have an M203 grenade launcher on the underside of my barrel, and a red-dot sight above it.

-More weapons used by true armies rather than insurgents or crappy armies. I'd like to see less and less RPD's and more and more H&K MG4's. Give us more good-guy weapons!

-More accurate machine guns. I cannot stress this enough. If I cannot hit an enemy with an M60 from perhaps 50 feet away (with a red-dot sight, mind) while going through my ammo, only to have him pop up for a second and shooting me as my gun starts shooting at wild angles, despite my aim staying on their position.

-Custom Server Choice. By this, I mean that, in addition to the standard match-making already present, there would be a list of custom games you can choose from. This way, people can create their own game variants and maps, and allow anyone to play them.

-Picture taking and movie playback. Similar to halo 3's mechanism.

-CoD: WaW's assistance system. In this system, rather than getting 1/5 of the points for aiding somone in killing a person, you get an amount of points proportionate to the damage you do to the enemy. I hate when I have maybe 2 shots left to kill someone, then some douche-bag on my team steals my kill and gets full credit, while i get 2 points.

-CTF Game Mode. Simple enough: Get into the enemy base, steal the flag, bring it back to your base. In CoD, this could be represented by an intel laptop or something similar.

-Vehicles. I know what everyone is about to say: Remember the tanks in CoD: WaW? Yes, I do. Personally, I think it adds an extra challenge, and means that you have to compromise between firepower and whatever you want. However, tanks and any other vehicles could not possibly be over-powered in CoD:MW2; in an urban environment, odds are that the only thing you could do is stay at one end of the map, with your team controlling any buildings around you. This forces the enemy to either try to rocket-snipe you and risk getting blown to pieces immediately, or forces them into the side-buildings to get a good shot. With Humvees and APC's, you could quickly get players around in more open maps. Which brings me to the next wish:

-Open desert/oasis maps for Humvees and light vehicles to drive around. of course, these would have buildings as well as cover in the more open areas, but not too much. Probably best used for Domination and CTF.

Night vision doesn't detect a person's heat signature, whether thermal vision that can be worn on the head actually exists I do not know, only seen it in Splinter Cell or other semi-sci-fi. :shrug:

im writing an article on all known features for MW2 in the next issue of the gahzette. stay tuned.
by the way, its not COD:MW2, just MW2.

No it's not.

hm. thanks for the info. now i need to change my article a bit.

More diverse and bigger maps, generally there is a set format for maps where by there's two ways round, crossfire and bog for example, it would be nice to have a bigger tactical element.

More diverse weapons, also no m16. I don't appreciate a gun which can kill me in one shot, 2 shots maximum.

There the main ones to be honest, also some new perks would be nice. I want it to feel like a new game, not just a cod 4 re-skin..

no the m16 will be in its been confirmed.

a price that means i won't automatically reject the game on principle until its lying at the bottom of the bargain bin.

:wall:

My blood boils every time I die at the hands of an m16 user. No gun should ever bee one shot kill..

if you are so annoyed about the m16 use it you can use it as well. personally use the m4 for bigger maps and the mp5 for smaller ones. beats those m16 n00bs any day of the week. they may also be using the stopping power perk.

Yup, standard set up. M16, stopping power and steady aim. I see people in 10th prestige still using it and I can't understand why, I would get really bored of using the same gun over and over.

I personally like diversity, at the minute im currently using the MP40 as my assault rifle, mp5 and p90 for silenced classes, and a scorpion with an acog scope for general purpose. You wouldn't think the last one would be any good but surprisingly it is..

wait wait wait....MP-40 as an assault rifle, but MP5 as well????

i think you mean the MP-44 (STG-44) in CoD4



also:I used to use the M16(beastly with a red-dot sight), but once I got the G-36C and M14, I kinda said screw it.

BTW: adding to the list: 1-Shot kill sniper rifles at higher levels. I swear to god, if i shoot someone in the chest with a .50 Caliber sniper rifle and do not kill him 1 more time, i will go insane.

dude, what are you talking about? i get 1 shot kills with the .50 cal all the time. only if the target has juggernaut does it take more than one hit.

do you have stopping power? i traded out stopping power for overkill, so i can have an M14 instead of a pistol.

nope. i have uav jammer and deeper penetration.

hmmm......... i know deep penetration doest effect damage, only if it goes through walls, but could it possibly add just that tiny little bit of damage left? with the higher muzzle velocity and sharper bullets?

if not, then it makes nos ense that we would have different damage for the same gun.

where do you usually hit? i almost always hit the upper torso/head.

with my barret, ive hit the mid-upper torso.

also ive noticed that if you hit the heart or lungs, its instant kill, as opposed to a lower hit which just hurts like hell.

interesting.

now, back to topic. i want a better filtering system for the servers, like an option to choose a min and max ping level. as of now the filtering system is pretty shallow.

probably my biggest annoyance ever:

a way to mute people in the pre-game menu. it is so annoying when i just want to play, and a couple guys are blasting crappy music and just about yelling through their damned microphones, forcing me to turn off the volume until i can mute them in-game.

pc version ftw: theres no in-game menu for the idiots to chat on. :beam:

Has anyone seen the new multiplayer trailer? Customizable kill streaks, grenades that stick to your opponents, and some kind of portable homing missile you can use against airstrikers. Sounds good, but the settings (at least the ones I've seen) are too open and I'm worried that the game is becoming too Battlefield-ish.

customizable kill streaks? mixed blessing i think. perhaps they should make it a default kill streak rewards until a mid-level like 30, then make it so that you can only customize kill streaks after 10 kills. then they really deserved it.

heli-dogs anyone?

sticky grenades? i thought those were just for tanks. of course, we all know that the grip magically goes and clips onto their shirt.

portable homing missile? i think if it was like a weapon that had only 10 shots, replaced perk 1, and was only unlockable at the highest level, maybe it could work. then again, the flamethrower in CoD5 isnt too terribly overpowered; type-100 will beat it with double tap.

i beleive the sticky grenade will be like the plasma grenade in Halo3. probably will only work if the enemy stays perfectly still or something. i trust that IW wont make it too overpowered. and theyll probably make it some sort of perk.

the difference is:
plasma grenade and halo 3=sci-fi obviously fake never going to happen no matter what

CoD: Modern Warfare 2=(somewhat) realistic shooter based with real, existing weapons and equipment.

modern grenade that sticks to personnell= lame+unrealistic.

then again, ive never been able to stick someone with a sticky grenade in CoD5, so maybe it will be an extremely rare thing?

what would be great is if you could hold 'throw grenade' button and click the melee button at the same time when behind an enemy, and it would then be clipped onto the back of their necks. detached heads anyone?

well first of all, Semtex is a sticky plastic explosive, so a nade covered in semtex isnt such a far off idea.

1 problem:

if you threw it, wouldnt it stick to your hand first? unless you covered everything but 1 part, and you carried it around in your hand to make sure you have the right part.

hellz yeah! I can't imagine theres anything quite like watching a helicopters M230 Chaingun ripping and tearing to pieces some random guy, as you watch on with both horror and glee.

No. Just no. :help:

This isn't Gears of War, there's no need to be so over the top in the gore level especially since the engine is much more photo-realistic. High gore levels in games like that just make me entirely uncomfortable.
