Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 thread

I wish FPS games had decent cover systems though. The system used in Killzone 2 single player would be a good example, although it'd probably slow the pace of a COD game down too much.

I just always thought it was silly that you couldn't really take cover behind things other than crouching or going prone, then having to stand up or expose yourself somehow to shoot.

rainbow six cover system owns all. I wish they had it in COD games

Killzone 2 was a fast paced shooter, the cover system would fit well.


I loved Rainbow six's cover system though, its a more strategy based game and not all ADD run n gun like COD so it might not fit into a game like this. Rainbow six vegas is still the best online shooter i've ever played. This MW2 game really seems to be taking elements from RSV so why not implement the best feature of the game... the cover system?

the reason I love 3rd person shooters is because I can see everything much easier then FPS, and it helps that you can see around a wall without exposing yourself. I prefer 3rd eprson but play a lot more FPS then 3PS

[MmmmBeeeeer]

You can get used to both. I don't mind playing Uncharted online at all, its still as fun a FPS.

I really tried to get used to UC2 in the multiplayer beta, but I just never felt comfortable with it.

I'm the opposite of DDRGuido though, I started out FPS on pc way back when, logged way too many hours over 4 years in halo 2, so it always felt very awkward and clunky to me.

And I think a cover system would derail IW's goal of the multiplayer, and that this game is a twitch shooter, with fast gameplay.

KZ2 had "quick" gameplay, but imo the mechanics of how your player moved prevented it from being a twitch shooter.

Want another reason to hate Infinity Ward?

Try making all the people who buy it for PC go through Steam to use it (allegedly) AND... if you want to pre-order the damn thing, guess how much it costs?

I'll give you a hint: You need one to grab things and another to walk with.



Without the game being out yet, they are already shooting for console exclusivity.

Fuck that cover system shit. That may work for tatical games like Rainbow Six, but this is a fast paced action packed game, a cover system would take away from the fun.

Every shooting game needs a cover system. Its okay to not play like an ADD riddled 13 year old with running n gunning all game long.

The preorder price is $59.99. That screenshot is from an error when it was first posted on steam. Even the price of $59.99 has people pissed lol.

The game will install steam when the game is being installed since they are using VAC for its anticheat protection.

They've really made a mess of the whole PC version. I'm staying away from the IW forums right now because they are just flooded with pissed off people.

Not at all. COD is made to be a fast paced action shooter, its not a strategy based shooter. The maps are not made for that, the maps are way more open ended to keep the action fast, continuous, and intense. You dont have to run and gun, take it moderate with an assault rifle, or sit back and snipe off the run and gunners heads with a sniper. If i wanted to run into a bunch of people hiding behind a wall all day i would play Rainbow 6.

Both games are good in their own respect but COD is not made for cover and if it was implemented that would ruin the game possibly.

These motherfuckers have completely turned their backs on the PC community, who are the people who even put themselves in a position to make money.

Fuck activision/IW or whoever the fuck.
