Wishlist for CoD: MW2

[Fragony]

Don't have a problem with it it's just a game. I like the gore in WAW, it even serves a purpose, WAW has this whole war is hell going for it. When you shoot someone with a heavy weapon I want feedback, and boy does WAW give it, makes the action so much more satisfying if you can utterly destroy them.

[Hooahguy]

too much gore makes it a bit silly.

[Fragony]

When you empty a LMG on someone and he still has all limbs attached is kinda silly. In WoW you can really mess them up good, I like. Usually you don't notice how gory it is but once in a while you get a truly horrific kill, or the absolutely sickening sound of your buddy being shot in the head, deary. It's hardcore bloody fun. Can't get enough of the bayonet hehe *SWOB*

[Paradox]

I don't mind the gore, makes it all the more intense. Will there be zombie mode in this? I've had a lot of fun with that.

[Prussian to the Iron]

I think the majority of players will want gore, especially the ones who came from WaW. i mean, if i shoot a guy with a .50 caliber bullet in the face, his face should not still be there.

i do hope they dont go Gears of War gore on us, but not too much less than it. maybe i'm just sick and twisted like that :P

I'm betting they won't bring back zombie mode, but they would be able to bring over everyone from WaW if they did. I think just about everybody in the world would love to noscope zombies with a barret repeatedly.

[Hooahguy]

no zombies. its been confirmed.

[Monk]

no zombies. its been confirmed.

A shame, that was one of the few things that I truly enjoyed in WaW.

[Hooahguy]

well IW wanted to stay away from WaW. but there are rumors that instead of zombies, it will be aliens.

[Prussian to the Iron]

aliens? not sure how to react to that...wouldn't they have guns after breaking out of Area 51? lol :P

makes sense though: has anybody ever seen a movie where there has ever been al qaeda zombies? no? it's because they can't become zombies duh! everyone knows that wearing a red headband, unfashionable sunglasses, and living in a cave makes you immune to zombies.

Absolutely amazing.

Suddenly all the hatred I have for WaW is washed away. Bring on MW2!

edit: The guy clearing the way with the riot shield? Yeah. Awesome.

[Prussian to the Iron]

OMG THAT IS AWESOME!!! I love that they included a bunch of new guns, not the same old "Ok, take a bunch of american guns, a bunch of russian guns, some British guns, and then throw in a couple miscellaneous guns from other countries"
whereas now its more like:
"Ok, find every gun you can in moden militarys and put it in."

Plus, that supply drop would be pretty nice, especially fi you didnt have bandolier.

D.C is in flames.

Apparently MW2 is all done, as the devs were spotted playing their game on Live a few nights ago.

November is shaping up to be an absolute treat. Assassin's Creed 2, MW2, and Dragon's Age: Origins all within a few weeks of one another. How am I ever gonna find the time for them all?

[Fragony]

Absolutely amazing.

hrmph. Why the hate, WaW does nothing wrong it is just extremely violent, the campaign is tight like drum and the multiplayer improves upon modern warfare. They did afine job taking it to pacific. The pacific WW2 has always come acros as more savage and nightmarish, maybe that is just me but WaW delivers in spades, such hostile and alien place

The AI is a true and utter joke in WaW's campaign. You don't notice it in the soviet campaign because the Germans aren't scripted to banzai charge you at the drop of a hat. The AI doesn't really know how to handle it and will do it at odd times (with odd targets in mind). It makes the pacific campaign really easy, the only thing holding you back is the grenade spam on the higher difficulties.

The pacing is all over the place like it was in CoD4, but there's no real characterization for me to grasp onto. In CoD4 there was a general over arching storyline that made both the SaS and the Marine's Force Recon missions feel almost like they were apart of a greater whole. In WaW we're going back to how things were in previous CoD games in that the narrative of the game is "there's a war on" and that's it. The two campaigns aren't related in any way other than being set in ww2, and what happens in the pacific isn't effecting what's happening on the Eastern front. I found it to be two steps backward after Infinity Ward's step forward.

Multiplayer, though, was a huge improvement over CoD4's, grenade spamming was much less common and the "War" mode was particularly fun. But the multiplayer replayability was hurt (in my eyes) by the time period. I loved all the weapons and mods you had in WaW's predecessor and seeing nearly half the arsenal reduced to bolt action didn't make me enjoy the combat too much.

By the end of WaW i hated it, to the point I later sold the game. Now my "anger" has cooled, but I still wouldn't play it if given the chance.

[Fragony]

all fair criticism, did'nt really notice but yeah. I never played part 1 and 2, maybe I let them get away with more. On points mentioned modern warfare wins hands down.

[Prussian to the Iron]

EDIT: nvm, i read the date wrong. still, a month is so close!!!

[Hooahguy]

i cant wait to find out the system requirements.

[Prussian to the Iron]

ur gettin it for PC?

no doubt im getting it on the Xbox, or maybe the PS3. i can only play the xbox once a week....so ps3 might be better bet.

[Hooahguy]

oh no!!!

[Monk]

oh no!!!

Much anger in that one over a two week delay. The news is disappointing to be sure, but let's not burn the world down just yet.

well considering i am forced to get it for PC...
it wont matter for me anyways. i wont get my laptop back until at least january.

[Prussian to the Iron]

oh....i have a great idea of how you will pay me back for the Metallica videos:

I'm going to continually send you plot details of every mission as i progress through them!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Spartan198]

I'd be in warfare heaven if they'd give me a freaking fire selector this time...

[Prussian to the Iron]

while i agree that a fire selector would be nice, its not really that hard to use assault rifles on burst or semi-auto by just controlling your trigger.though having a realistic (non burst-only) M-16 would be awesome!

[Monk]

Deep breath!

Straight from FourZeroTwo, there's no delay for PC MW2. Seems like the internets lied to us. What a shock!

[Prussian to the Iron]

hey, check this poster:



in the background is s destroyed capital building. i hope its not something that obvious. maybe an alternate ending depending on your actions?

[Hooahguy]

i doubt it. the COD series have always been linear.
