    I'm a PC player. Mainly with Battlefield. I tried the free weekend with this game and for some reason it doesn't have that same punch. Can someone tell me why I'm not feeling it as much as the console version I like?

    Because of the shitty multiplayer connection?

    You have to aim?  From what I gather from the QLs, they seem to handle a fair bit differently.

    Hosting never really bothered me, I've played too much though so I've stopped.
     
    The only thing that's really different is as Jimbo says, the aiming.

    It's not a patch on COD4.  That's a great single and multi player experience.

    I did the EXACT same thing. I downloaded free weekend, played maybe 3-4 hours, and put it down. I somewhat enjoyed it, but I am done with it.

    Because in BC2 you can ram a helicopter up somebody else's ass. Plus you can put C4 ON the helicopter before you do it. Plus you can bail out of that same helicopter and knife some other guy, while the first guy is taking the exploding helicopter (again, with C4 on it), up the ass.
     
    I don't know for sure but I don't think you can do that in MW2.

    I think the controls are made more for consoles on MW2.

    I'm a big fan of PC. I've also played Xbox360 and PS2, but I feel really good when I play on PC. I have also a gamepad, so I don't have problems with the controls if I am playing a game made for console

    I just tried the free weekend and I'm not impressed with lag, aimbots, empty maps, and more lag.

    I know for sure my rig doesn't suck. All my games run on max settings and my PC is pretty quiet. My monitor is running at 1600 x 900 rez. But it's not the graphics or anything that's turning me off. Something about the multiplayer. Maybe the hosting or the fact that there are tons of hackers.

    You know why you weren't impressed? Because MW2 is a buggy ass fuck of a game.
     
    Oh and it sucks.

    @ch13696: You need a new monitor imo, X900 is unimpressive, X1050 or X1080 is the minium. Well your right the multiplayer on the pc isn't as great as it was for the last game.

    it is because the hosting sucks. it doesn't feel great compared to a game that has dedicated servers. i don't play it on PC. i was thinking about downloading it but i said no because it would take forever to download the game.

    Every system I played on so far they had whiny lil kids. The PS3 is worse because of the voice changer. But thank God for muting.

    Yeah, me getting a new monitor is not going to happen. I don't want one. I like this one just enough. Besides if I upgrade this monitor, that means I'll have to get a new graphics card. Like I said before, it's not the graphics that is turning me off.

    Because MM2 is an awful game in comparison?
