Ok, i've been wondering this for a while and was just wondering what your guys opinion was on the subject. But what guns do you find don't need stopping power? I know that the Tar-21 doesn't need it or the Scar-H. What I mean is, what other guns don't need it.

INFO ON NEW MW 2 MAP PACK

Ive heard that it will have 2 old maps from the original MW (Crash and Overgrown) along with 3 new maps; Bailout, Salvage, and Storm. I will start with Bailout which takes place around a apartment complex. Done very well and looks really good. Its like it has 2 games in one with the long game (snipers) and lots of short game (shotguns). This they did an especially good job on because you can get through the entire map by traveling through the houses and apartment complex. Another plus was the overall scale of the map. It looks as if your in a real city. Why did they have to drain the pool??? haha Looks amzing!!!! The second new map will be Salvage. By far the smallest of the 3 new maps which takes place in a snow covered junkyard. My favorite thing about his map was the atmosphere they simulate in Salvage. The overall dirt and dust make it look too real. Honestly it made me cold when I was playing. Another feature i liked about this map was how it is on one level. Very simple but in a good way because you have to be skilled and tactical. Lots of narrow corners, alleyways, and roads. This map will be very fun because every corner will be a gamble!!! The last map is Storm, which takes place in a very large open map centered on a very unique warehouse. Another good feature was the atmosphere again and they did a really good job here. This map has very long sight lines which may be good for snipers and bad for rushers. A very good map to move around tactically with lots to use in terms of cover. Although the interior is very good in Storm its mostly based outside. Lastly I would like to sat the warehouse in Storm is very complex and is avery good spot for a firefight. With few other buildings the multiple levels of the warehouse may attract people to it and they may not know it. I hope you enjoy and any comments are welcome. I'll see you online (gamertag- STLBirdman420) you can find me in the doghouse on Salvage!!!! WATCH OUT

@Zmagnum: I completely disagree, if you felt it was too sharp then you clearly were not paying attention to the story line.

*ALERT SPOILERS*

Why else would it matter so much that General Shepard was the guy who specifically requested the private to go undercover? He was the one who caused World War 3, he knew that, yet because of his men (The Rangers) who managed to rescue DC from the hands of the Russians, he was made out to be a War Hero. So, he began killing anyone who could potentially point out the fact that he was the sole cause of it all.

Twists are supposed to be quick, and then make you immediately stop, go back (in your head) and review everything that lead up to that specific point and go "Wow... That's brilliant."

And overall, the last part with the cat and mouse, realistically it was more about the money. They knew they can keep the Makarov storyline for the third game, and that's exactly what they're going to do. They give you an antagonist that you get to finally kill by the end so you don't feel completely annoyed by the fact they ignored Makarov.

I do agree with you that I did not like that fact, but it was the most logical ending to still provide enough substance for the third game.

*END SPOILERS*

So yes, I've officially come to the decision, I'm boycotting the multiplayer until they're done with Beta (done with all the bugs, finished balancing all the classes etc.). Time to go play more BFBC2

Finally got around to finishing up the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. Disappointed heavily by the last act, Felt extremely rushed. On contrast the first two were extremely well done.

Spoilers: The twist with Shepard didn't come off like a holy ** moment IMO, instead it came off like a what the * just happened moment. They threw all this info at us in a matter of seconds and we were supposed to suddenly believe that Shepard was the real villain when they built us up for a showdown with Makarov that didn't even happen, it was *** stupid.

Now I would of bought the Shepard story if there had been another act with slower pacing during the final two acts like they did with the first two. If I were in charge, the showdown with Makarov should of took place, while searching for Makarov there should of been hints dropped in the data you collected while searching Makarov's hideout for him and another level where you actually capture or kill him. Shepard should of been implicated as a mysterious informant without specifically naming him as so and ending it the same way the betrayal occurred in the game after Makarov was killed or captured. If makarov were captured, Shepard would assainate him the same way he did Ghost(Gaz v.2) and Roach. Followed by some cat and mouse with us trying to take him down as Soap, yet failing to catch him at the time and then the final showdown level with Shepard would take place like it did.

I guess my problem with the last half was not that the story was bad but it was such a sharp twist with no hint of such happening that it felt like bull. It really annoys me they dropped a crap load of info in a matter of seconds expecting us to digest it and except it without much explanation when it should of been slowly fleshed out and revealed during the last few levels leading up to the events that occurred. it definitely felt like alot of the story got gutted for Activision's forced release date and really brought my opinion of the last quarter of the game down, especially with the almost filler like South American levels wasting time in the first and second act , and some the suburbs levels felt like they were made to just extend the length of the game., not to mention the Ramirez and Foley story felt unfinished. Also sucks that Gaz (ghost) got killed again. (End Spoilers)

@Anthony Meza:

It's not just the cheaters that ruin this game. It's just about anyone who cares about KDRs. I played it today for the first time in a couple of weeks. First game, spawn killers. People sitting right outside of our spawn, watching every exit, taking us out before we can even move. Second game, campers. Literally sitting on the opposite end of the map not caring about their objective (Demolition game type) and setting up claymores to take out anyone who's able to get inside their spawn to kill them

This game is truly just unenjoyable, or at least, relatively unenjoyable. The first was magnificent, and they released this, which makes WaW look good in comparison. And as far as glitches? There's a new one with every patch basically. The latest one still hasn't gotten rid of the Elevator glitch, and apparently with the release of the latest patch, there are hackers who can now make themselves invincible and carry around invisible guns that fire AC130 bullets. Luckily I haven't come across a game with any such people.

Realistically, I don't regret getting this game, Single Player and Spec Ops have more than made this game worth the money I spent on it. But every time I hop online, I regret the fact everyone's on this game and not on the original.

Anthony Meza:

Hasn't Infinity Ward already done a good job stopping cheaters and hackers form ruining the game? The game is still fun to play online and having to read "I hate this game because of cheaters" is really pissing me off. Guys, did you forget IW is releasing DLC soon?

My point is that just because the game "is a multiplayer mess" doesn't mena you shouldn't play this game

On a side note, when discussing different topics about Modern Warfare 2, isn't it better to actually have different threads rather then talking about Modern Warfare 2 on one thread when it already has hundreds of comments?

From what I've heard no they haven't. It seems like every time they patch the game another glitch surfaces and is exploited. Yeah other CoD's like MW1 and WaW had hiccups but it wasn't near as bad as what's going on with MW2. And I think if people don't want to play MW2 because of glitches is a good reason. What's the point of playing if people are going to cheat?

Kubiak — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:33:05 GMT

Its only been, what, three and a half months now since MW2 came out? I'm already bored of it. I'm honestly just tired of MW2. The SPEC OPS ad was kinda cool, alright. They should make it customizable like Gears of War Horde with maps. But, the story was...eh, ok. It wasn't the best, but it had its twists and turns getting me to go,"WTF!?" I actually got a little bored of the story. The Only Easy Day and the other urban neighborhood missions just bore me to death. The story just seemed...simple and lacking. It was really nothing new, compared to the original MW. The original will never be beat in my opinion. Call of Duty really made a name for itself with the Modern Warfare title. I thought it was one of the best games I've played and i've been playing them since I was young. Modern Warfare also revamped multiplayer gaming. MW literally changed the online gaming world. It was the best online game I've played since the Counterstrike days. Man, I'm gonna have to brush the dust off that game. haha Anyways, I think MW and Infinity Ward just needs to be done with the series. Its beginning to be a nuisance. It doesn't need to be like the plagued Halo series, making game after game, and then game after game, just because of how popular the first one was. By the way, REACH just looks like another overhyped, below-average Halo game. Bungie is blowing smoke up our a holes. ha Me personally, one or two sequels is enough after the first game. IW doesn't need to do that and drag it on. MW2 online gaming is bogus. They are starting to forget the "realism" in wars and battlefields of today. The online gaming is plagued of noob tubers putting M203 attachments with OMA, or possibly with the thumper and scavenger, they just keep plucking and reloading. Its ludicrous. Maps are garbage. Campers and kid toy weapons attachments. What is up with the heartbeat sensor? Riot shield? Honestly? Do you need a radar on your gun to tell you were enemies are? If you do, you don't need to be playing the game or any type of shooter. I've never seen military infantry or special forces use duel shotguns, or duel machine guns, or duel anything, or have a heartbeat sensor. Get rid of the perks or have a game mode with no perks. Its just dumb. I dont like the arcade style gameplay were dumb players with no tactics just run out in front of you, go kamikazee jap on you, and you think you shot him first, but he still ends up killing you, and your like, wtf? Happens to me all the time, along with playing noob tube clans that dont even give you a chance to respawn. MW needs to receive some advice. Just go back to the original MW, or make a realistic game. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising for example. OFP is a great game, behind the bugs and iffy graphics. But, its realistic. Super realistic. I'm not gonna go into all the detail, but try it yourself. Rent the game for crying out loud and just give it a go run. OFP shouldn't have been given the review that they got. It's not a 10 or 9 rated game, but it certainly deserves better than a 7. MAG, just played the game on sunday. I was so shocked on how smooth the game was for all the players i one match. SHOCKED! MAG is team based. Anyways, Infinite Ward needs just be done with MW. Move on. Make a samurai game with swords and crap for all I care. They just need to be done. This is my opinion, so nobody needs to blow up on me, saying that MW2 is the best game ever made, and the noob tubes are great, and blah blah blah. I don't care. I just want to start a discussion and want opinions. And, March 2nd cant come fast enough. BC2!

the current glitches are only the beginning, sadly. there will be some modders who do all those things and more- like infinite nukes. hopefully, Infinity Ward will figure out how to stop 'em before they get too out of hand.

Modern Warfare does seem to be "glitchier" than most, but I suppose it directly correlates to the amount of attention the game itself receives; some 400,000 people play it at any given moment...

Not to mention there are entire organizations devoted to finding and exploiting Glitches within the multi-player, couple this with the fact that exceptions in any code are more common pending the complexity of said code, point being: a lot of exceptions in modern warfare 2...

Plus the base code was hacked in the first 15 minutes of release, so some glitches are actually just taking advantage of obsolete code left in the game.... its a massacre to say the least that will be remembered for years...

Not to mention, the source code contains information on two new game-types that are unaccessible, unless someone hacks it... so my bet is thats the next big glitch... trying to play team-deathmatch, and getting sucked into a game of global thermonuclear war...
