modern warfare 2

[fizz]

With regrads to the kills it comes down to the maps im on. Some i know a lot better than others.

As long as i place in the top 3 im happy.

[Bender Unit]

Map dependent - anything from 6 kills, to 18 kills. Some maps just seem to work better for me, and also the more familar I am with them the better I do.

[pistol pete]

my kills vary./..
like said maps make big difference..

i either use the m14a with red spot sight and shotgun
or mainly i use the first light machine gun (cannot remembet the name) with teh stands that hang on the front with the grip to stop recoil..

i have won quite a few free for alls

last night i played very very badly for me..

i got my xbox back up and running 2 days ago and now rank21
was rank 2 when my xbox died

love the afgan map and terminal maps.. average around 20 kills on them

had a couple of maps list night i had not played before..

love the masses of battles in the house on estate....

where as quarry i struggle to get 10 kills.. hate that map

[Razor04]

the "Rust" map is the one for racking up kills, it's the new "killhouse" try and get up the tower first, and pick off everyone below. It gets so manic that people are actually bumping into each other whilst trying to shoot someone else

[James]

OK Im not doing too badly then

[sw20GTS]

played a game last night on a map similiar to a slum area in Brazil...forgot its name. But fairly small with a lot of shacks around.

Got this guy running around killing people with a grenade launcher attachment! What's worse is that he gets a lot of kills and then calls in airstrikes, harriers and the guided missile thingy.

Needless to say he ended up with tons of kills...

Favela

so whats every ones kill death ratio? mines 2.29 and climbing

[sw20GTS]

depends .. I normally get around 2 I guess. Best was 35 kills 2 deaths. Got a lot of harrier kills and bombing kills.

Oh another thing I hate are people that use the riot shield thingy. Damn impossible to take down and if they have competent team members you have no chance of survival

[JohnnyC]

so whats every ones kill death ratio? mines 2.29 and climbing

0.85 I think

[craig]

mine is about 1.45 or something like that. (and climbing )

Since I've now completed the game, here's my thoughts on it. Highlight to read as it contains spoilers (obviously!):

There's no doubt that this is a very special game, but it does seem very rehashed still after a playthrough. Sniper mission? Check. Running through town mission chasing someone down mission? Check. Big dramatic end sequence? Check. What was a revelation and a breath of fresh air in MW1 becomes very stale in MW2, and I simply expected IW to do something different. Yes, the airport mission was risky and interesting, but not being able to run at the start meant it plodded along somewhat (was that to take the fun out of it on purpose, so that they couldn't be accused of making civvy deaths fun?) and whilst the end of that mission was a surprise, having your character die became such a regular occurrence it was boring. What was it, three times you die? Four if you include getting stabbed at the end? Too much. It became like the scares in Doom3, in that because you knew they were coming the shock value disappeared.

However, I will say that the solo mission through the aircraft graveyard was absolutely superb, and very well done. It was great to take out people from both sides, and there was just the right amount of enemies to make it interesting without making it too hard/easy. I had a genuine thrill of satisfaction when driving the truck up onto the ramp at the end, although whether that was scripted so much that it's impossible to miss it I don't know. Regardless, loved it. It was enjoyable riding the snowmobile and the boat, but again it felt like they were developed simply because fans started screaming about wanting vehicles. I don't think they added much to the game at all.

Sitting here now, I'm not sure about the story. Yes, it had enough intrigue and plot twists to keep anyone aside from the die-hard 24 fan happy, but was it as fulfilling as the first? No, I don't think so. Where the original had well-defined enemies who you really wanted to kill, this made you jump around so often that you had no idea who the real enemy was. Fighting the Russians in Washington should have been a proper experience, yet I felt that they were just another rag tag bunch of terrorists as opposed to the other world superpower's greatest combatants. As far as the conclusion of the story went, leaving Marakov well out of it was a huge cop out and whilst it surely leads to MW3, I'd rather have concluded it within this game.

All that said, what you can't fault is the polish on this game. There isn't a single point in which you find yourself staring at a badly drawn piece of scenery, or a clipping soldier on the floor: The Q&A on this game must've taken ages, but they got it spot-on. The music and sounds are a joy too, as they lend themselves to immersion in the experience rather than standing out like a sore thumb. It's worth mentioning about the controls as well, for they are what almost all FPS games crave to be on consoles: Accurate without being jerky or false. Fantastic stuff.



IW have once again created a piece of pure frenetic fun coupled with a deeper tactical sense than you first give it credit for. I find myself wanting so much more from the game though, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

I finished the single player campaign last night and loved every minute of it!

I thought the Washington bit was just as daring as the Airport tbh.
I too had great satisfaction in the airplane graveyard lol.
I did sometimes shoot my own men as there was a little difficulty in distinguishing, under pressure between my men and the bad guys.
I also really enjoyed the oil rig mission.

It seems 50 cent was one of the voices???

[H3RB]

yeah i thought it was great 2, especially the last few levels. i loved the end and the mission in the bone yard , great fun.

It also took me 9 hours and 23 minutes to get through. I dont know where the 4-4.5 hours prediction comes from, I'm not "that" bad at the game, average I'd say.
I reckon if I stuck it on one of the harder difficulties it would have taken me twice as long too.

Football is just a game H3RB, but I can just about hold my own in a 5-a-side game. Where as some players earnly hundreds of thousands of pounds a week and could probably beat my team on their own.

Every one is some where between very very bad and very very good at any game not matter what it is.
