Can't believe that IGN guy said that about PC. Leave that stuff for forum fodder dude. You're at work with guest in your house.
Many legitimate PC players out there.
 
Good retrospective Max, though personally I never noticed a decrease in nuke boosting even during the 'booster justice' days. It wasn't uncommon to run into 2 sets of boosters in an FFA lobby. Another annoyance with MW2, though pretty superfluous and not gameplay related, was the completely hacked leaderboards. Black ops had great leaderboards, I feel that SPM is a good measure of how well the player is doing. It felt rewarding those (very few) times I would hit the weekly top 50 in TDM.

I definitely agree that MW2 has the 'higher highs' of the two games, Bl.Ops often felt very bland particularly if you weren't partied up.

So you gonna be the first youtuber to put up a 25 gun streak MOAB? :)

What did he say?
They were talking about people getting the game early and such. The IW guys were saying they dont care that much but they get upset when people show off the campaign or the ending. [Not sure I believe that since they take down everything on youtube].
Anyway, the IGN dude goes on to say well the PC is pretty much a problem and now you PC guys know why companies have issues with PC gaming. I was like really? Why didn't he mention the 360 which has a big if not the biggest MW pirating issues I thought? Answer came immediately to me. It's the console of choice to promote the game but that was just tasteless if you ask me.

Infinity Ward doesn't take the videos down. Activision does.

I'm amazed at how unremarkable the maps are this time around. Doesn't necessarily mean they won't be fun to play, but that was one of the reason I got bored from BlOps much faster than mw2.

Well I give up. I was really hoping to win to save myself money this holiday season and not have to trade in games to make the purchase of MW3 cheaper.

Getting both UMvC3 and this this month. ; ;

I was honestly trying to get these questions answered:

"Why are death streaks back in the game when the community hated them in MW2?"

" What other game franchises inspire you guys when creating games? "

"Glenn, do you miss Dead Space, and what have you taken from creating it and tried to apply to CoD MW3?"

That's because the maps look to be BALANCED. MW2's maps were a clusterfuck.

Also the Bizon is wrong as well. Couldnt find a higher res pic.

Wrong SMG
Err the Bizon isnt in the game?...im pretty sure the PP-90M1 is in the game not the PP-19?
But i could be wrong, they look devilishly similar with helical magazines.

This is a PP-19:

This is the PP-90M1:
kbp_pp-90m1_b.jpg



The OPs PP-90M1 is clearly an MP5 (lol) I wonder how he made that mistake....haha

Wrong MP5 x 2
Your MP5 is the short variant....The game is using a full length MP5 with the buttstock and foregrip.
Like this:
Hk94-conversion-mp5-9mm-handguards-foregrip-surefire-2.jpg


OP your weapons are clearly wrong, fix them!

Ah. I thought it was just a decked out bizon much like how many other guns in mw2 had crazy rails/crap mounted on them but were just regular variants of other guns.

edit: Oh it says on the interwebs it was designed to compete with the bizon. No wonder.

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Retrospective by Maximilian

Great video Max. My only disagreement with it, however, was the "what made MW2 better than Black Ops."

My answer to that would be THE HIT DETECTION. That's it. Black ops being exponentially more balance and more like COD4 made it the better game in my opinion. Everytime I went back to try and tolerate MW2 again, it ended in horrible frustration and going back to Black Ops.
 
I cannot believe they brought back that stupid bullshit where money flies out of bodies when you get a payback kill. So stupid.

Yep

Can't wait for this game. I'm really enjoying BF3 a ton, but for close quarters fast paced infantry combat, it's not even close, and I want my rock music accolades for shanking a bunch of people from behind.

Did you watch the stream? They answered this question (also, it should be obvious by now).

But they're a pointstreak, and you have to wait for an airdrop, so they can be stolen (I think). It's much easier to just call in a Predator Missile for a quick free kill. I doubt it'll be broken.
 
I'm glad their new system or whatever allows them to have quicker updates, so if anything is off or needs nerfing they can do it quickly.

Yea, since I did the commentary in less than an hour and tried to think of everything possible...I totally missed it. I'll be doing a final MW2 commentary followup to the retrospective, where I inject some more of my personal opinion about MW2 in it's current state. But you're totally right.

Going back to MW2 or COD4 and actually seeing your bullets kill people on contact was one of the biggest reasons.

True. lets hope lol. Painkiller was a bane of my mw2 experience.

And Hey, lets not kid each other. You and I both know that
COD4
is still KING.

that'll be the only thing that makes MW3 appeal to me, is if it's more on the level of the original MW
 
Holy shit 4 studios worked on this, I had no idea. Well if Treyarch worked on this, maybe it'll be better then the atrocious MW and MW2.
Yep, didn't like either of them. Preferred WaW.
