What are you looking for in Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2

1. Don't take away any of the current weapons. I am very familiar with almost all the weapons in COD4. I know what they are, how to use them correctly, and I have my preferences. Rather than tweak the current weapons or remove them all together, just make sure any new weapons fit in the current selection.
2. Allow another perk and/or split some apart to allow a fourth. I understand that splitting the perks into their groups allows for balance (for instance, stopping power and juggernaught being the same perk class, which I agree with). But I fail to understand why putting a grip on a RPD takes away Perk level 1 that has Grenade x3. Or why Matrydom removes the possibility of Deep Impact. I'd like to have a fouth perk option so that players are more customizable. Most people play with a small group of perks.
3. Slower knifing when being shot. This is something that drives me nuts. You pop around a corner and you start shooting somebody. You're already hitting them. Then they knife you like you aren't filling them with lead already. They should still be able to knife, but the action has to be slower. You have to give the advantage to the person who deals damage first. I can't imagine it would be easy to pull out a knife after taking your hand off your gun then actually knifing someone when you're being hit with bullets.
4. Include the old mp levels. Please take the Rockband 2 model. You paid for the variety pack, you have the original disc, let us keep playing those maps. I'm happy with COD4, but I want more maps. If you're going to make me buy another $60 game, let me keep those levels and ease the learning curve for the new game.
5. Add some options for beginners. It is very hard for beginners to get the feel for the game when they're getting sniped by a level 55 that they didn't even know was there. If there was a beginner playlist, or "similar skill only" playlist (like Halo 2/3), this would allow beginners to learn the maps and have a chance against the other players. It's pretty much common for new players to score 1 kill and 15 deaths for their first 100 games (at least). More people will play it if they can learn it at a reasonable pace.
6. Spawn position tweaking. The spawning in COD4 was good, but it can be exploited by a knowledgeable team. Probably everyone's played a game on Downpour where your team was either annihilated, or was annihilating. With little cover on the lower side of the map from helicopters, if the killing team keeps their distance just enough, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. The other team really has no chance. Also, sometimes when you're killed, you get spawned so far on the other side of the map it takes to forever just to get back to the action, only to be sniped just as you get there to start the process over again. And occasionally, you'll spawn right behind the person that killed you for an easy kill.
7. Seemingly strange hit detection at times. Sometimes, and I'm not the only person who's noticed this, your bullets seem to be doing nothing. I've had many times where I'm playing well, leading the team in kills, then all of a sudden in the next game I can't kill anyone. I'm shooting them, the "x" that appears when you're making contact is there, but you're dying everytime. It really feels like you're shooting blanks. I suppose it could be a connection issue, but it's like night and day from one game to the next. I've certainly played the game enough to know when I'm playing well, and to know how things react, and when this happens it feels like you had no chance at all.

Sounds like you want an expansion pack with rebalancing, and not a sequel.

I agree with the things you've said, but I agree with StaticFalconar.

Longer singleplayer, and fix the multiplayer problems from the original Modern Warfare.

"Sounds like you want an expansion pack with rebalancing, and not a sequel."

Co-op
Longer Story
Better Textures
Dogs in MP (or bears!)
Another amazing campaign like COD4
More people in certain MP games
Same multiplayer level system w/ weapon upgrades for MP
More weapon upgrades (bigger clip...etc)

That's all I can think of right now.

I want a much deeper and engaging SP campaign, bigger MP maps (with more players), and "real" co-op. Co-op and a longer story are the most important to me...and I want a real sequel, not a glorified expansion-pack.

Call of Duty has joined the ranks of Guitar Hero as franchises that were once fun to play but have been mercilessly slaughtered to death by Activision. It's extremely sad, and rather disgusting how greedy they are, everything that turns to gold for them, they have to immidiately split the nutrients of it until there is nothing left.

I thought EA was pretty bad with it's sports games and Need For Speed series, but at least they attempt to put out new IPs, while Activision cancels everything and continues to rape the life out everything that was once good.

Better sound effects for the guns. The silenced ones aren't bad but the others are too quiet and sound like tapping. I'd like a bit more realism on the guns too... like when you reload mid-clip you get the advantage of the bullet still in the chamber. I was kind of hoping Modern Warfare was going to be a lot more realistic than it ended up and I'd still like to see that.

More guns would be nice too. 

Beyond that... A longer campaign.

As long as it isn't made by Treyarch, I think anything they change is good. (Yes, I know it isn't being made by Treyarch.)

wow holy fuck you'd buy a new game just for that?????

personally i want a new game built from scratch. the cod formula is just so old and overused now - no matter how much you attempt to make it interesting and different with perks and new weapons

I don't know a lot about firearms but most of the guns in COD4 actually get a reload time decrease for clips that aren't empty. Is that what you mean?"

Yeah, I wouldn't ever pay another 60 bones and not even 40 for what you mentioned there. I mean you can only make a game so many times with the same system and gameplay. 

I think a gun game mode would be perfect for COD:4 MW and think it'd go great in an update. You start with the worst weapons, starting at pistols and work your way up to the best guns, fianlly having the last weapon being knives. 3 kills per weapon to upgrade and deathmatch settings would be ace.

I actually want the exact opposite of you in most cases.  I don't want the old guns and levels to come back, and I think three perks is just right. 

I'd like more variety in levels- IE levels that are not ripped from the singleplayer and reworked...

Vehicles and explode able buildings.

IW can go remake there modern warfare if they want to a million times. I'm gonna stick with WaW. I hate sequels.

Yeah bud, this is stuff that you would want for an update to CoD4, not a new game...

You are the type of person that would complain when somethin so little is changed in a game. When Gears2 came out so many people like you complained about little changes to stopping power, power of the shotgun, chainsaw etc... Its a sequal, its meant to be different, offer different types of gameplay... Whatever they release you will get used to again just like you got used to CoD4.

When you played CoD4 for the first time, did you relate it to CoD3 (yes i know, diff timelines) and the game mechanics from that? I doubt you did..

shooting people

i think that we should be aloud to make are own MP player like an avatar and stuff also more guns!!
