[Game] Modern Warfare 2

[Murphy]

I love how people try to make utterly unrealistic, fast-paced, arcade-action frag-fests "realistic", be it by "role playing" or by making "realism mods" that don't change a whole lot except screw up the gameplay by making every weapon 1-hit-killers and changing weapon names from M16 to M16A2 and the like. Camo patters on all the weapons and blood-stains on the knife skin don't make an unrealistic game realistic...
It's Quake in a war-setting. You are either down with that, or you're not, but if you're not, I don't get why you would go to "realism servers" instead of just playing a more realistic game.

Disclaimer:
I'm not knocking every realism mod out there. There are good ones, especially some almost total conversions. I'm also not knocking people who enjoy realism servers. I just don't see the appeal.

QFT
i allways hated the "realism" mods for cod1 and cod2, as all they did was screw up the gameplay

Does anyone else feel the single player is gonna be as disappointing as the last one?

How was the last SP disappointing? It was pretty epic if you ask me.

I thought some of the "realism" servers were great myself. Removing the crosshairs, limiting weapons, and deadly damage was a welcome change from the stock settings and MUCH better than anything COD4 is.
The German Front Mod was a very good example of a great mod on CODUO.

Before I came across ROOST, I played CODUO and I agree that the German Front Mod was a great mod for that game.

It had a small following as well...always a few full servers almost like RO. I also played UO heavily until RO was retail after hearing about the launch when I first used Steam
Ah the glorious UO days when the COD franchise was the best.

Until ROOST came along and shown what new levels a WW2 FPS could be... but for the most part, UO was my first major online multiplayer experience.

It's Quake in a war-setting.

I hate it when people say that because it's really stupid. I mean come on, are you only playing Free for All/TDM or what lol, gameplay modes like Search and Destroy and some other one have much more to them.

Here's to UO, the last good MP Call of Duty.

Obviously I was talking about the speed of the game, not the game modes. I could have said Halo which is probably a closer match although Halo might even be a little slower than CoD, but Halo has a negative connotation in the eyes of many pc gamers because it's "console garbage". As I didn't want to demean CoD's multiplayer in any way I chose Quake for my little shock-statement.
Of course someone had to miss the point and jump up and explain how CoD isn't really like Quake...

 

[LemoN]

UO was ****e
i allways hated what they did to the infantry weapons

 

[kapulA]

What did they do? I had no trouble switching from CoD to UO, infantry-wise. It felt the same for me.

it doesnt, weapon accuracy and dmg is decreased
also nadecooking, tanks and deployable MG's all just didnt fit the cod gameplay

 

[kapulA]

Tanks maybe, but I found that cooking nades and deployable MGs fit just fine. I guess it just wasn't as liked with most of the community for reasons unknown to me - I, for one, especially enjoyed the new base assault gametype.

 

[LemoN]

nadecooking basically destroyed any attemp to play the vanilla maps the way they were suppoes to be played

I hate the Quake comparisson because Quake is much more deeper and well thought than CoD MP

What, throwing them across the entire map a few seconds after spawn hoping for a lucky kill?

That and jumpshooting is the bane of CoD imo. I hope MW2 has less of that, but I highly doubt it. At least that Flagrunner mode looks kinda cool.

That about sums it up
