Modern Warfare 2

[thecuriousgeorge]

I still don't get the hype around that level. How is it different that GTA where you can kill prostitutes, police officers, or people randomly walking around.

In the original modern warfare you took on the role of the president of an unnamed middle eastern nation. You are dragged through the streets of your former capitol city, beaten with the stock of an AK, watch unarmed prisoners be executed and are powerless to stop it. You are then knocked out and dragged to a pole in the middle of the town square, tied to it and executed.

In another sequence the villain of the game detonates a nuclear bomb in the middle of a the aforementioned middle east city. You are playing the role of a Marine at this point who has confirmed his status as a hero by rescuing the pilot of a downed troop carrier helicopter when a nuclear bomb goes off. Your evac chopper crashes and you crawl through the destroyed city bleeding out until you are dead.

Neither of these scenes warranted this much vaunted 'you can skip this it's okay because it is pretty fucked up' option.

Finally, what about the torture scene in the game? I haven't seen that plastered all over the news.

Honestly, it's just a video game.

I think the only reason people have a problem with it as opposed to the GTA series is that in GTA, you ARE a bad guy, doing illegal things and its fun because according to the game thats what you should be doing.....in MW2..ur a soldier, a good guy, suppose to fight against terrorists...but in the airport situation..depending on how involved you let yourself get in the game..it can really "erk" you with what you have to do...especially with the ending to that level.

I haven't played MW2 but I used to play america's army a lot and frankly, even though it's only a game, I got a little sick of all the killing. Virtually or otherwise, the "thought" is still there: kill.

I can see how kids can get insulated from what they're actually doing to what they do in the game......

It's all about multiplayer. It's like CS but better and on a big TV screen.

 

[rafzuh]

Don't think twice dude!! It is one of the best games I've played

 

[thecuriousgeorge]

I dont' mean to brag...well just maybe a liiiiittle...finished my end of the line III (call in 10 nukes) today

its hard as shit tho..
and no...i am not a nerdy little kid who plays 24/7 and has no life

 

[canucklehead]

called in a nuke today on Hardcore Deathmatch ........... x m03 l3st3r xx

Still waiting to call my first nuke. You guys should feel proud to get that far. There should really be an extra hundred thousand experience points unlocked if you launch a nuke and are above the age of 30. Kids these days are too damn good having grown up to first person shooters as opposed to atari and intellivision like myself.

oh man, I moved recently and found my old intellivision console. I plugged it in and couldn't believe we actually thought those graphics were amazing lol

What are your MW2 Classes? I have a hard time deciding what I want because there are different options and play style. Below are mine. I'm not that good but just looking for tips.

Sniper Class - So far I use Intervention with FMJ, .44 MAgnum, Scavenger Pro, Cold Blooded, and Commando.
Average Class - Famas with Silencer, SPAS-12, Scavenger Pro, Cold Blooded, Ninja Pro
Run and Gun - Ump with Silencer, Spas-12, Marathon, Lightweight, Ninja Pro

 

[canucklehead]

my fave is AUG with heartbeat and thermo Spas-12 bling pro cold blooded and i think ninja pro claymore and flashbang

 

[thecuriousgeorge]

Ump45 silencer/AA-12 grip
Scavenger pro (key for getting nukes)
Stopping power pro
commando pro

Tar-21 silencer/Stinger
Scavenger pro
cold-blooded pro
Ninja pro

RPD grip/pp2000 silencer
sleight of hand pro
Stopping power pro
Steady aim pro

I use the ump45 class for most games. The Tar class for S&D or sneaking around, or when a heli/harrieretc is called in. The RPD class, i use that for big maps...i dont snipe but I can pick off a sniper from across the map with it..its a sick gun

I've noticed that a lot of the "good" players have a high sensitivity when playing (i could tell from the kill cam), not me tho, I would call myself a "good" player but i play on medium

[thecuriousgeorge]

what do you guys mostly play.....?

I use to only to mercenary team deathmatch...but it got a lil boring...now its just mosh pit

I personally think COD4 was the best FPS I've ever played. I will certainly get Modern Warfare 2 for my PS3.

Have you played counter-strike?

CS:S is getting pretty old now, I am hoping a game with modern graphics will come along that has just as good gameplay as CS. I don't think any other FPS comes close, despite the age of CS.

I gotta say that playing Modern Warfare 1 left me feeling a little morally uncomfortable. But playing MW2 has left me feeling filthy Never in my life did I think I would be challenged morally and ethically by a video game. Those guys have really created a winner!

LOL!

You guys ever had someone on same team as you really piss you off by doing stupid things??
One of the last times I played few weeks back, I was on top of a train cart lying down with my sniper looking around. All of a sudden I can't turn, and realize there's one of my teammate standing right there, trying to be in my spot. I get up and after a bit of us both just standing there, he start giving me the elbow. So I start to do the same and take couple shots at the guy, obviously just letting him know WTF! But dude still won't move! So I get down and throw a couple flash bangs up there
I start moving away and he decides to follow me reallly close, like literally attached to me and I can't go in certain directions. He did that until he got killed by someone. FU#$ER!!
