So I've been spending time with the MW2 multiplayer, and I've revised my list of things I think should not be in the game. Here it is:
- Akimbo
- Weapons that aren't modern (aka Model 1887's)
- Under slung Grenade Launchers

So I've been spending time with the MW2 multiplayer, and I've revised my list of things I think should not be in the game. Here it is:
I should also probably give some details as to why I think these things should be excluded.
Akimbo: This has absolutely no place in a shooter called "Modern Warfare". Not only does the concept of akimbo not work in whats supposed to be a "tactical shooter", it causes some serious imbalance among the weapons, specifically akimbo shotguns.
Weapons that aren't modern: This is rather self explanatory. Weapons such as the Model 1887, and the Rangers make absolutely no sense in this type of game. Other than that, they just feel plain out of place among the other weapons.
Under slung grenade launchers: These appear in many MANY military shooters, and I hate them. I absolutely despise them, and the entire concept of "Noob Tubing". MW2 is the worst game I've ever played when it comes to this, as the games designers almost seem to promote noob tubing as an actual tactic. And don't get me started on the "Danger Close" perk.

- Akimbo Shotguns, yes. Pistols...probably not.
- Weapons that aren't modern (aka Model 1887's) Duh. Even militiae are probably more advanced than this.
- Under slung Grenade Launchers Eh, they're not too bad.
Pave-lows. Man fuck those things, when i get a lock on with the stinger and am about to fire, it magically turns around and sprays me :P
customizable kill streaks. didn't like em. Too many helis and nukes going off every three seconds.
Go back to uav, airstike, and heli/ dogs
I would prefer dogs because in a game like cod, I like running around and killing people with primary AND secondary weapons. I dont like having to equip rocket launchers and nade launchers. That is why dogs are better because you can kill them with anything.
The only game tanks/ helis/ planes work in are battlefields which supply you with primary/ secondary weapons including an explosive or anti air gun to take that shit out with.
Just got through with a match. God damn I hate akimbo. How many modern soldiers are trained to dual wield weapons. None. Why? Because it's impractical as shit, and doesn't work like it does in MW2.
I have no problems with Akimbo shotguns. My Spas with grip and steady aim is fucking ridiculous. Noob tubes aren't that bad either, as grenade spam in COD4 was so much worse. Most of the AR's have horrible iron sights to begin with, so they either have to live with them or use Bling as their first perk. I just want the M40 back.
" So I've been spending time with the MW2 multiplayer, and I've revised my list of things I think should not be in the game. Here it is:So what exactly is it that makes a weapon no longer modern? There many weapons in MW2 that have been around for a very long time.

- Akimbo
- Weapons that aren't modern (aka Model 1887's)
- Under slung Grenade Launchers
Teh Juggernaut perk cause those peeple r like tampons cuz they are pussies. Yeah bro. Getz n teh way of my Stopping Power pwnz.
Seriously, though. Tactical Insertions. To be more specific: Boosters. Game could do with less of those.
Yeah, well claymores apparently haven't been used in 15 years and are lethal at over 100 ft, but the ones in the game detonate via magical lasers. RC helicopters drop crates containing laptops from the sky. I'm also doubtful any soldier could run full sprint with a Javelin strapped across their back. It's not supposed to be realistic. It's supposed to be fun." @MAN_FLANNEL: Noob tubes aren't terribly awful, because they do require some level of technique and accuracy. My only gripe with akimbo weapons is that they feel out of placed and impractical in a game called "Modern Warfare". "

"It's not supposed to be a "tactical shooter". That would be a game like Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I agree that it seems a bit out of place to dual wield, but it's not supposed to be real, it's supposed to be fun. Besides, it can be incredibly fun to dual wield SMGs occasionally for shits'n'giggles.
Im fine with akimbo's as long as they count as both primary and secondary weapons. I have no problem with someone who only has two shotguns, but I have a big problem with a sniper who also has Lightweight, marathon, and akimbo 1887's.
If you want akimbo weapons, then it takes up both weapon slots. At least it should
" @faustyn: Cold Blooded is easily the best perk in the game. All of my custom classes have it, except for my Heavy class, which is using Stopping Power Pro for the extra bullet and vehicle damage. "yup. i have the same 3 perks equipped on every single class (sleight of hand pro, cold blooded pro and ninja pro).
I would like an MLG game playlist that (somehow, I don't care how), prevents users from using everything banned in gamebattles. Mainly, though, I want a no explosives playlist, no noobtubing with scavenger and danger close, no rocketing with AT-4's with the same perks. Grenades are whatever, they're balanced, but it seems that most or all explosives are totally unbalanced. I wouldn't mind seeing akimbo taken out of the game as well, as its totally ridiculous for anything besides a pistol (good luck with the recoil on two SMG's in real life). Also, I wouldn't mind the range on the spas being reduced about 5-8 feet.
what's wrong with The M203?.. I hate people who say no grenade launchers in games...yeah it's a 1 hit kill..and all you do is point and shoot.. but it's the same with shotguns..and sniper so deal with it
" This isn't supposed to be a realistic game, get over it. HTH. "That's why I want my character to have laser vision.
" what's wrong with The M203?.. I hate people who say no grenade launchers in games...yeah it's a 1 hit kill..and all you do is point and shoot.. but it's the same with shotguns..and sniper so deal with it "lawl. snipers are not one shot kills. you have to shoot someone directly in the face from a pretty small distance without silencer to kill him. stopping power improves this whole mess a little bit but still snipers are fucked up on normal modes.
sure you can get 1 shot kills. I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying that i find myself getting hit markers a little bit too often. it's especially irritating with a barett which is a .50 cal." @faustyn: Then your doing it wrong.. I can get 1 shot skills with a shot to the torso with a sniper ...use the intervention. "
akimbos are stupid addons. they need to be less accurate if anything. i never saw anyone in war movies or documents of guys running around with two weapons shooting at the same time.
the models are stupid gun. if somebody was to reload a shotgun like that then their arm is going to hurt after spinning it.
campers are the worst part about this game. they seem to be around every corner. every game is going to have campers in them.
I'm back to MW nao. My idea for the sequel? Take MW, add kill cams and host migration + the new graphics and maps. Would made a perfect game. But this piece of crap? No, thank you, call me when IW releases a patch for the fucking UMP.
