I have to say I feel a bit conned having spent £40 on this over Steam, the SP is way too short and the MP doesn't really make it, just a rehash of CoD4 MW which I played a heck of a lot and hence got bored of. :(

About 15 mins of reading this thread would have saved you £40...

This right here.

Guns actually having recoil, no spray and pray, no regenerating health, no jump w/iron sights shooting.

When it actually took skill to get a few kills. Good times.

Oh man. I wish I could pull off streaks like that. I really, really wanna use my nuke, I have yet to see it go off in action. The best I have done is 24 and the game ended :(
 
Anyone know how to sort out my graphical problem, it's getting harder now playing multiplayer as all the characters body parts are turning invisible, lol.

Anyone else find it incredibly satisfying getting a massive kill streak with various perks and stuff? I had one like this yesterday.

Akimbo Vector - Kills 1 and 2, then ran out of ammo, haha
Knife - Kills 3 and 4
Akimbo Magnum - Kills 5, 6, 7
Predator - Kills 8 and 9
Harrier - Kills 10, 11 and 12
AC130 - Kills 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 etc etc. You get the idea.

It was awesome fun! The knife kills and akimbo magnum bit was my favourite! :)

It's an absolutely fantastic game - unfortunately the dedicated server mob is mucking up the reviews and totally stuffing up peoples ability to make a good judgement on this. For me on my style the lack of dedicated servers makes little odds. MP is very well done with steam where you can team up with buddy(s) before entering a game to ensure you end up on the same server and it will try and get you on the same side. My guess is the MP server options are very similar to the consoles.

Either way fantastic game on the pc
 
I think the game is great as well. The only issues I have with MP is the fact that you have a very limited amount of control over the "server" or game.

I have encountered connection issues and a bit of lag but for the most part it hasn't been a problem. Though there is just something about MW1 that makes me like it's MP counterpart more MW2's MP.

Though I do like the maps and they are varied in terms of gameplay and design. Bring on DLC. Hopefully they bring out some new bits for it. :)
 
It does annoy the **** out of me that about 1 in 5 games is a total **** up with a 3rd world host or the lobby just keeps failing over and over cos of iwin or steam login freak outs,

I have very few games that experience this possibly 2 in the 6 or so hours i've played thus far

Nothing about the game makes it a PC fps, the perks, kill streak rewards, titles, emblems all that stuff.

Its tailored to an arcadey style pick up and play for 30mins/1hour. There is no real learning curve or difficulty.

I'm not sure I see where you are coming from, the extras (probably tat if you don't like it) improves the game from my perspective - they do add to the experience for me. Except for the kill and death streaks they don't impinge on the game. I'm on the lower end of fps playing usually so death streak 'rewards' are a very welcome relief :) The kill streaks I also think work well.

In terms of actual game play - team players showing on the map help you understand what areas are open so encourages team playing. Domination maps in particular are very team orientated.

The display pointers when someone shoots also ensures campers don't survive for too long :)

So it could be (even with out a console) that this type of game just works for me - there must be a learning curve or I wouldn't be improving :) Time wise 2 hours would probably be the max i'd want to play any game at a stretch if this lasts for 6 months i'll be very happy with the purchase.

The last game to grab me like this was MOHAA - still would like a return to doors openning, is it to much to ask :) But for me this is the first FPS that has grabbed me properly (that and bf2 :) )

Tals
 
I bet the people who moan about it "being too easy to get kills" and "requires no skill" are actually just getting completely owned when playing online. That's right, it's too easy to kill, maybe YOU'RE too easy to kill!

What has this got to do with anything? Why should the addition of killstreak rewards, titles, emblems, etc. make it any less of a PC game than anything else?


Some of the put downs about this game are ridiculous. I hate the lack of dedicated servers as much as anyone else but people really are just moaning for the sake of it I think. Get off your 'PC game' high horse.
