User:The Z/My thoughts on...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Having spent over a year with MW2, I have some pretty well-established thoughts on what the game is like and how it can be improved. I'll be sharing these thoughts here. It's gonna take a while for me to think of them all, so if this seems incomplete, it probably is.

The Good

 * Fantastically smooth gameplay and controls
 * The above a result of a fantastic game engine
 * No unlimited enemies
 * Very smooth multiplayer gameplay
 * Did I say the multiplayer was FANTASTIC!
 * Graphically impressive
 * Same performance on both platforms (Xbox 360 and PS3)
 * Sniper rifles are very nice to use
 * Great multiplayer maps

The Bad

 * AI can be a pain sometimes
 * Stopping Power still an available perk
 * Last Stand invincibility time
 * Glitches on some silenced weapons means you still show up on enemy radar
 * UMP45 is a bit too powerful at long range - I've killed snipers across the map with it!
 * Many guns have very little recoil, making the F2000 unusable for most
 * Campaign is a little too short
 * General Shepherd... the b*stard

The (not so) Ugly

 * Noobs, who run a One Man Army noobtube Danger Close class... GOD
 * Host MOTHERF***ING Migration (and the one time out of ten it does work it resets my f***ing score)
 * Painkiller
 * There's no tents etc. for the THOUSANDS of F***ING campers in the game
 * Boosters, though Booster hunting is a very fun sport, you should try it
 * Prestige and Challenge lobbies (Xbox mainly, haven't encountered any yet on PS3)

I also don't like the whole fiasco of the lawsuit going on between Activision and the former IW Heads. I guess Bobby Kotick didn't have enough money to fund additional Call of Duty advertising. Activision is not a company I am happy with, for being so stingy and so very restrictive about what their staff get up to, whether it's spying on their online profiles or stopping them from meeting with staff from competitor firms. Yes, I know it was part of the contract, but seriously, that should only apply to collusion and trade secrets, not finding a new job if all is not going smoothly at a current position. Activision lost some of the best developers in the industry because of a few very dodgy moves. Let's see if the same happens to Bungie then...
