BF2S Forums Should i buy COD: MW2?

Why is it fun?
Is it better than Cod4 though?

The thing i liked most about COD4 was the clans, custom maps and the dedicated servers
but in MW2 none of that is there, but they have added more weapons and perks and the new Co-op thingy

A a "veteran" of past COD games and founder of a 500+ member clan, I would say go for it.

Hire the game.

Base your judgements from that.

Or if you want, you can wait until the prices drop, in case you dissappointed with the game, you wouldn't say to yourself that you wasted $60.

you better have a lot of patience going down that route cause you're going to wait a long, long time. iirc COD4 stayed at $49.99 until not too long ago, and that's been out for quite some time.

halo and uncharted stayed at $60 for over a year, a game like CoD6 will probably be longer.

Get it.  It's fun because the maps have more variety and there's lots more to achieve.  Better than 4?  I think so.

Woah nelly. I wouldn't go that far. I would go as far as to say they are equally fun in their own aspects.

Played it over the long weekend, the multiplayer was kinda obtuse, but the singleplayer was fun.

i play the game 2-3 times a day.. its worth getting. arguably it is going to be game of the year. MP is a lot of fun. SP was a bit weird but more fast paced.

greatest game of the decade!!!!

SP sucks, as usual with CoD. I suppose the story line was exciting, if full of plot holes. The endless lemmings, as Spidery_Yoda put it, just pissed me off.

MP was CoD4 with a better perk system (Now it wasn't bando/stopping/deep impact 24/7), new guns with lots of attachments, and more, larger maps. There is much more emphasis on vertical space, you can go inside pretty much any building, and on almost any roof.

Compared to CoD4:MW, each has it's pros/cons. CoD4 multiplayer was repetitive, if fun, spammy, and in my opinion better for competitive play. MW2, however, is more aimed at the casual gamer, mostly because it's a direct console port. The matchmaking does get you a game faster, and you get what you really want to play, and the lag is, at best, slightly noticeable, but I can't forgive it for the host advantage and reg lag.

Worth downloading? Definitely.
Worth paying £20-30? Very.
Worth paying RRP? No.

I have it for PS3 and it's a better game than CoD4 imo.  The main reason being that there's less emphasis on explosives, you really don't get much 'nade spamming', whereas CoD4 was like running through a minefield.  There is no martyrdom perk and no Juggernaut, which is great.  The weapons feel powerful, so you don't get bullets seemingly disappearing in mid-air.

If there are two things that I dislike about the game is that you get rewarded if you die a few times in a row (through various death streak perks). You also need a perk in order to pick up ammo from dead foes.  I often find myself running out of ammo and have to resort to picking up enemy weapons.

That said, although it's a better game than CoD4 it's probably less enjoyable than CoD4 first was, due to the 'been there, done that' factor.

I feel I have to pick you up on a few technicalities.

You do get martyrdom and juggernaut, only they now reside as death streaks, meaning if you get 2 or 3 deaths in a row, you get them. And the juggernaut one only lasts for 10 seconds after spawning.

You don't need a perk to pick up ammo, that perk will allow you to pick up ammo for any weapon from any weapon, if you get what I mean.

If you have an M4, and you run over someone who had an M4, you'll be able to pick up that ammo.

Nade spam or not I always run around with my blast shield on. Best equip EVAR, especially on objective-oriented modes of play!

buy it its a must
