My MW2 multiplayer review

Okay we all mainly know this is why people picked up the game, for the most part it is very fun and involving, much deeper then last time although IW could have kept some things Treyarch did.

For the most part the biggest flaws from the last 2 games, spawning and grenades.

Spawning is for the most part fixed, I still sometimes tend to respawn near the enemy that killed me or in the same place which is annoying, thank god for painkiller though, grants me an advantage to spawn killing pricks.

Grenade spam has been reduced even more, we now only have 1 at a time for the frag or semtex grenades, only getting them back from care packages or scavenger. COD4 had a lot of nade problems, WaW not so much, this one it is hard to determine the lobbing range vs the physics, but it seems fine for the most part. I have no troubles there.

Now for the kill streaks, COD4 had a killstreak overkill at times, WaW not so much, I have seen a bit of stuff like more then 1 chopper icon at once on the gps but I could not conclude if one was a care package one and the other was an attack one. But they seem balanced and efficent, the AT4 with 1 shot can instantly nail a UAV, the choppers can be locked onto but the heavier ones obviously need more damage to bring down. I have not really been able to determine if more then 1 related kill streak could be active at a time. The only kill streaks I have called in so far were:
UAV
Care Package
Anti-Uav-(from care package)
Preditor missle
Attack Heli-classic 7 kill one, only one I have so far
Pave low-(care package)

I like the preditor missle, a better form of the default airstrike from cod4. I do not remember if I got a title for shooting down or calling in a 7 kill attack chopper.

Weapon upgrading is even more fun then ever, I am actually motived to use grenade launchers to unlock a shotgun for my rifles. ACOG no longer increases range/decrease accuracy, silenced shotguns are nice as well. Bling is going to be your best friend when you want to unlock more attachments, 2 conditions can be killed with 1 perk, plus if you are working with stopping power and steady aim, this just helps you further.

IW sadly still cannot make a good reason for prestiege aside from replayaiblity, you gain no extra classes like in WaW, you just get another stinking emblem for your level and more titles and emblems, that is all. I already unlocked some cool titles like submit to authority or high caliber, I like those.

Plus IW could have done like treyarch and use a boot campl playlist, letting people only of certain levels like up to 8 or 12 play there to begin with. I find it annoying to be playing with people using the scrambler perk with a heartbeat sensor, they can find me but I can’t find them, oh so fair, I also wish IW just let us play the modes we want from the start, I just want to do CTF where deaths do not matter, I want to kill to earn stuff before going into the competivite deathmatch lists, that is what I did in WaW, sure it undermines the direct concept of the game but hey, I would be much more content if I was not paired with people level 40 and up while I am still only level 12 with jack and shit against these guys with a clear amount of experience, gear, and abilities.

I’m glad they didn’t make any rewards for prestige.

I do think they made it a hell of a lot more balanced which is great. I have not found anyone yet to be successful by sniper camping in the back. Good job IW by using some of Treyarch’s methods and making this one a hell of a lot better for multiplayer.

As a note I didn’t like MW1 multiplayer much at all... just way too unbalanced.

i hope i can still run around with an acog sniper one-shotting everyone

I found it a little annoying that you cannot fully find out which surfaces your gun can shoot through, you see them pierce the wall but not tell if they go through it or not. Plus I am more enticed to use sidearms more then ever, they gain attachments, plus I am happy to have a machine pistol with my intervention with no lost stopping power. I am a little upset to only see 4 snipers though, 1 bolt action and 3 semi and I wonder why they put the weaker snipers as attanted later on. I would have liked to see both the Dragonov in multiplayer and the M40 again, it could be our light 7.62mm bolt action rifle while the intervention is our .408 cal bolt action sniper.

Plus we also only have 1 semi-auto AR, the FAL, I would have been glad for the G3 or M14 EBR in multiplayer. I am level 12 right now, just got the vector and scar, have not used them because I am working on the M4A1, MP5, and others to get their attachments. Once I hit level 16, I am playing CTF a lot, nothing to fear losing. Plus I use marathon a lot so, I will be ready and willing. Also it is good practice for the modes that rely or have killing as an alternative to winning.

As for spec-ops, I will gladly do any mission with you guys, it is too much fun alone or with friends. Even if it means cheating the system for 3 stars as one gets veteran damage and I get hardend or regular damage.

I love MP the new 3rd person playlist is my favorite I think and my favorite new gun has to be the Scar slap down Bling with increased bullet penetration and a red dot or thermal sight a stinger (javelin when I hit 50 38 right now) to take out the air support Stopping power pro and commando pro or ninja pro with a frag and some stuns and I’m good to go.
