So has MP been ruined in MW2? Starting from scratch on xmas day am I going to get owned non stop?

Not for the first few days - you'll likely be near the top of each game... and then it randomly starts pitting you against clans and very high level people. At which point you'll get owned.

Game crashed 3 times in the space of maybe an hour last night, taking with it all my experience I'd gained with it. At least they were terrible games stat wise so hopefully it's not all bad :D

Why oh why cant they have a euro zone.......

Was there ever a euro zone for MW1?? (not played it)
Click to expand...

I would love to see a euro zone option, I seem to remember at the start of MW1 it was just europe on the PS3 but then they opened it up to the US as well.

It's so annoying when you get put in a game with a load of whiney US players. The lag nearly always seems to benefit them, on my screen I'm shooting them in the head, on the kill cam I'm apparently doing nothing. :mad:
 
I have a class which I switch to use the stinger. No one else seems to care about getting owned by air support.
 
I've always been in matches with players of a much higher quality.

The other day I joined a domination map and EVERYONE else had silver stars or prestige, and I'm level 30 :confused:
 
Just wanted to comment on people standing next to or pushing infront of you whilst you are being sly and hiding. Then someone spots them and either lobs a nad, killing them and you, or someone spots them, he moves and you get shot !

Not tried any of these wich classes, but i now know why i got knifed from across the room ! :eek:

As a random question, what do people find the best sniper rifle? new to sniping, but really trying to not stick to one style this time round. Using the 50cal with silencer atm, but find that its not one shot killing anymore.....
 
I find the silencer softens the damage too much on a sniper rifle. Stopping power makes it slightly better but I find .50 Cal w/no attachments + stopping power gets me the most one shot kills. Also aiming for the upper chest area yields good results too. Just remember to watch your rear too as I often find enemies creeping up from behind or flanking depending on location, claymores are good to counter this.

I kinda agree with the silencer softening the blow as it were, initially used it to open challenges, then thought it would make sense as would stop my position being given away. Can't remember if i have SP on, but thanks for the tips all the same. Need all the help i can get as only getting 5 kills per game when sniping !! :(

I honestly dont understand your frustration.

i too loved COD4 modern warfare, and cant see how MW2 is vastly different. The part of your post ive quoted is a case in point.

COD4 had all the create a class options and customisation and perks etc..

MW2 plays exactly the same as MW1 for me. I see very little difference other than some new maps and stuff.

but CoD4(/WaW) was fairly refined. you'll see at the start of my post i made mention that i liked the level of customization present in CoD4 it's that they went too far in MW2, no one needs the little emblems to be customisable or those stupid little pictures (tags or what ever they're called) it's pointless additions because they clearly couldn't think of anything else to change, change for changes sake does not an improvement make.

i think my bile is mainly aimed at non-hardcore modes though, i resented having to play for 4 hours on crappy normal TDM (and the various other modes) to unlock the clean interface and the slightly more realistic bullet damage (life counter) model.

Really struggled with getting a fav weapon originally but really getting on with the ACR now...Think with FMJ not far away either it could be awesome!!
Click to expand...

Dont bother with FMJ's once you have finished the challenge, they are not worth it. Its a waste of a decent weapon slot. I only ever use them for the 40 kill challenge and then whip it straight off.

Just staring out with the ACR myself having mastered the M4, Famas, Scar, TAR and M16. Fav so far the M4 although the iron sights are annoying, then the scar, would be perfect if it had more ammo.

Leat Fav the TAR or M16 if you get a slightly laggy game.

Three times... usually by the time you've managed to get 3 shots off your teams been wiped a few times and the Choppa/AC-130 has left.
Click to expand...

The problem is though, you shouldnt be having to fire all 3 stinger missiles yourself.

Ive played plenty of games where 2 people have wipped out stingers and shot the Pavelow / AC130 down.

Works a lot easier when your stinger "class" is equipped with cold blooded so it doesnt show on up and you can aim your stinger undisturbed

Played a few games last night and about 75% of them had people abusing the 'infinite care package' glitch.

Constant Predator/Harrier/PaveLow/AC-130 attacks for the entire game. Was utterly ridiculous.

Is this glitch on the PS3 ?

ive not seen this a single time while playing on the PS3.

It seems to me that people in general are being overly critical. It seems that people are looking back on COD4 with rose-tinted spectacles already and many of their complaints don't make much sense at all (not necessarily directed at OcUK members in particular, just people in general).
Click to expand...

THis is very true imo

It plays much the same as the previous modern warefare, and apart from a few issues with reach of some of the weapons (sawnoff shotguns and knifes) plays fine. I still love it and cant really see many of the points that are being made about why COD4 was better in certain respects.

how does it make it less refined ? or how is it too far ?

It enables you to customize how you want to play which about 90 % of the people want to. If you dont, then just use one of the pre made classes. You're not forced to use them.

Icons for the perks does not mean its less refined ?? i just think your having rose tinted spectacles here. COD4 had customisation and perks and custom class slots etc... Only difference is the addition of a few icons ?
 
I'm finding that about 4 out of 5 times when I select to play a MP game, it chucks me in a game part way through and always on the losing side. It's already happened 4 times today with 2 games me joining about 30 seconds prior to an enemy nuke. So 4 losses in a row which I could do nothing about.
Starting to grind my gears a bit! Is this just bad luck?

I agree. However in games i've been in its very rare anyone other than me or my friend shoot down anything!

No idea, all the videos showing the glitch are done on the 360 version, so maybe not. It really does need fixing however.
