It is the best Call of Duty so far.  You can customize your kill streaks and that means there's not helicopters flying around for every noob out there.  Since you don't get the helicopter right away.

There are people that are already past rank 40 and 50 playing online now and the game isn't even technically out yet.

I gotta say...as good as I think the game is, I'm just not doing well with it. The maps and gameplay just don't fit my style, and my reaction time that isn't what it used to be. All the credit to the players doing well on this...props for being able to adjust. I'd like to stay with it but I'm not improving even after learning the maps and getting better guns.

I've never been great at run n gun, but could hold my own at COD4. Seems like I have the worst luck ever when playing this...almost every time I meet someone close range I die. Someone is always shooting me in the back, side, or top before I even know they're there. It's amazing how people aim so fast too, like they can just snap the scope anywhere and kill me in a heartbeat even if I 'm shooting first. I know about the splitfish but plenty are doing this to me without it.

I've been using the sniper rifles alot, but someone can pick me off from across the map with an m4 with rds with 3-4 shots. I wish they would've taken the whole breathing thing out of sniping in this version if they were going to make the game so unfriendly to sniping. I'd say 75% of my deaths are from the m4, so they really balanced out the guns alot more than previous CODs if everyone is using that.

I think alot of the maps are bad for the low amount of health you get. You get no chance to save yourself when someone pops out behind you. If they would boost your health or nerf some of the guns a bit it might be more enjoyable. It would also cut down on the amount of camping that people are doing just to survive. Killstreaks are just crazy in this game too...between those and the guns/health I think IW went a little too far to make the game friendly to all players. Its a shame too because I like some of the changes they made for rewards/perks etc. Too bad I suck at it 

I'm probably going to trade this in for AC2 tomorrow, but we still have a copy so I can jump in and play with the kids or friends. Got in the beta for BFBC2 and really looking forward to that as I think it fits my style more now...and hoping they didn't change it too much from the first one.

Yeah I guess that's the point...its more frustrating then fun. Sniping is about the same as the first one...the difference is the other weapons are so powerful and accurate it negates sniping. I got picked off from one end of derail to the other by a guy with an M4 and ACOG, with only my head sticking up above a barrier. Great shot, but wouldn't have happened in MW1...snipers are pointless in MW2.

BF:BC2 is due out in March, but the public beta starts Thursday. I'll let you know how it is after the beta starts. MAG looks cool but not sure I like the command structure of the game. Don't want to get forced into a squad where some ADD 12 yr old is my leader and yelling commands into the mic.

its the model shotgun that u get at like lvl 70 tha pisses me off-

the guys class was an AK-47 and akimbo Models he only used the models they are so over powered and over ranged he killed me one shot from at least 10 metres away.

Bought MW2 today.

Played the MP part for a while.

I was pretty sure I was gonna own from the beginning on, since I am familiar enough with Black Ops, but no. I got totally destroyed on 3 of 4 matches. Only on one match I managed to go 14 - 7. On all the other matches I went negative and I think my K/D is at about 0.6 or something like that. Which is, in my consideration, absolutely embarassing, since you do nothing but hinder your team if you go negative. Compared to my average 2.40 on Black Ops what I did on MW2 was absolutely pathetic.

Until I know the maps inside out and unlocked all the perks and stuff, my ass will pretty much get bashed. Like on BO. Except that on BO this whole process seemed to go faster, since the ranking system doesnt suck balls like on MW2.

I wasn't expecting the MP to be exactly the same as on BO, but I didn't expect that much of a difference between them either.

I've been watching and reading lots about the game to be more prepared, but it didn't really help.

Some dickwad camps in a room with a shotgun and gets an AC-130. Some sniper proned in the grass gets on a rather high killstreak. Some schmuck with one man army noobtubes the whole place to pieces.

Welcome to MW2. Infinity Ward wishes a pleasant stay.

Played some more Blackops afterwards and felt like at home.

Talk about Black Ops, I've been taking on a 15-prestige clan with a friend today. I did pretty decently, but it wasn't beast mode, something like 25 - 11 without any killstreaks. My teammate totally raped those guys, going 29 - 2 with a Blackbird and a chopper gunner.

Now comes the funny part: They accused us both of camping, despite THEY were the campers not us. One of them sent us both a message saying "camping cu nt". Sounds friendly to ya? Well I guess that's what we get for upsetting some british lunatic schmucks. Had a nice conversation with this guy, ending up with me blocking him.

I reviewed the match in theater and to be sure, I reviewed theirs and my own gameplay, and of course the gameplay of my teammate who owned them hard.

What I saw was this: They camped and noobtubed like bitches, while we actually roamed the map killing them. When our Blackbird was up, they camped even harder, using multiple claymores in a room with 1 entrance. I would go further, saying that they come close to hardcore camping pretty much.

Maybe one day I should join those commentators - if I manage to improve my English - and point out stuff that needs to be dealt with. This is one of the things that really annoyed me during my entire online gaming time. But it's not the games' fault. It's the fault of stubborn pricks like these. Haters gonna hate.

I see.

I find that I should stay away from games that make me do that. lol

I will be getting MW3 as I've said. Who knows how that'll go.

Hey, did you get any of the map packs? (MW2 or BO)

Well I'll be getting it because after I got MW2, I said "screw CoD."

But now there are pretty big changes in the company, hopefully they gained people that make it better. Whenever there's companies breaking up or being acquired, something big changes in their games. If I hate MW3, then there's no way I'll ever buy on after that.
