MW2 Multiplayer Is a Hot Mess

DualShockers writes:

Infinity Ward brought us Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which many gamers were calling a masterpiece and possibly the next best thing since sliced bread, but alas it seems the franchise has taken a sharp turn into a dark region, known as the crap zone. The multiplayer on each platform is plagued with issues from players having the ability to hit their 10th prestige without earning it on the PS3, to players having speed hacks on the PC version, to just an utter loss of control of matches on the Xbox 360.

[deadreckoning666]

So why are so many still playing? Just curious...

[taz8080]

I still play because I am hoping it will get fixed but I am growing tired of the shotty online play. A lot of other people are abusing this time to boost their stats.

[tdrules]

a game with low effort for high reward.
what do you think

[Dutch Boogie]

There are more players on a certain platform because that is the only game worth playing. Matter of fact, the fact that overall 6 million people bought this rehash encourages developers to release unfinished games and over charge them for it.

[taz8080]

The bad part is that each version of the game has some form of hack/glitch/exploit in it currently. It all started with the javelin glitch and now has morphed into worse problems.

[morganfell]

The first thing you have to realize is dualshockers is a mess. Go back and look at some of the sensation seeking, hit inducing articles they have delivered. Utterly absurd.

I am not saying there are not issues - it's a REAL beta that is occurring before the game is completed - but dualshockers as a game site is a farce.

[iiprotocolii]

It's pretty funny that everyone is trying to discuss issues regarding the game, and you jump on to discrediting the site. I've followed your comments numerous times and, as with the decrease of your bubbles, people are noticing that you're nothing but a rabid fanboy. Sensation seeking would be posting it all over the internet like forums, Digg, Reddit, etc. in order to try to bring in hits. We could care less about that, believe me.

If you really think that we're in this to make money, you're just being ignorant. Why don't you explore some of the articles besides the ones that attack Sony and hurt your feelings, rather than trying to belittle a group of international writers that bust their butts to compile discussions amongst gamers. You're a perfect example of the ignoramus elite fanboys that run rampant on this site.

[Saaking]

Mediocrity should not be rewarded. IW doesn't deserve any or the praise they've gotten and MW2 certainly does not deserve any of it's awards.

[DasBunker]

im glad i didnt buy this.. and if i ever do ill be sure to get it used..

hey atleast its a hot mess.. better than a regular mess..

[Bathyj]

What I want to know is, if the multiplayer is so broken across all formats, and single player just seems to be an afterthought these days with the campain being about as long a the Extended DVD version of Lord of the Rings, then how are all these 9's and 10's the game got justified.

Ok this is not a CoD vs KZ thing, but this is my example.
Seriously, Guerilla Games release a shooter with a rare level of polish on it in these days of patching games, and looses points for no co-op which suddenly becames the most important feature for some reason, and IW release a rushed, buggy, broken MW 1.5 and it cant be praised enough, even to the point where some idiots think its GotY.

Lets get some consistancy in these reviewing systems can we?

The whole thing is a joke.
Any mag/site that gave it a 10, should be coming out right now and apoligising for rushing the review, getting caught in the hype, and misleading at best, lying at worst to consumers.

@ Bathyj ~ Excellent comment. Bubble & Agree.

[Redempteur]

i find funny that everyday i wake up , goes on n4g and see another article on ANOTHER glitch they found in MW2 multiplayer.

javelin , unlimited amno, no clip glitch , veteran lv 10 glitch, auto aim knife trowing glitch ..over players matchmaking glitch

and that's not even counting the articles on the lags , the unbalanced multiplayer and so on ..

now i sleep looking forward to witch glitch will be exploited and be put in the light by an article tomorrow .

[sikbeta]

[Fixed]

[morganfell]

I did not mention dualshockers making money. I implied they are incompetent writers that rely on sophomoric sensationalism. Where did I mention money?

All one need do is look at some of the ridiculous articles and assumptions proposed by dualshockers and it becomes readily apparent they are delusional AND sensation seeking.

I could care less if you attack, defend, or surrender. Bad writing is bad writing and ridiculous outlandish assumptions are bad for the industry and a blight on this site.

A decrease in my bubbles only means you have people that like you are afraid of the truth. My bubbles or lack thereof do not change the fact that dualshockers - a site that once propositioned me to write for them and I refused - haven't an ounce of talent or a smidgen of integrity. And since you were the one that asked me in a PM on this site then you should remember.

[SilentNegotiator]

I agree with the "Mess" part.

[Bathyj]

Thanks guys.

Anyone here with a blog or a website looking for an idea for an article?

Contact every site that gave a 9 or higher and ask, given the buggy mess that is MW2 online, do they still stand by their review score, and if yes, how do they justify it.

I would bet my left nut if you looked at those sites you would find less hyped, better games, where the scoring system wasn't so lenient.

[theunknown]

Ever loved something so much that you would be willing to endure or try to counter (if you can) the fustrations?

[DaTruth]

What Morganfell is doing is nothing new and a very excepted part of N4G. Calling out hit seeking, bad so-called journalists is a regular thing here and one need only visit one HHG article comments section to see this at its best!

There is far too much of that crap and all sensationalist, hit seeking or fanboy so-called journalists need to be called out, flogged, tarred and feathered!

@Morganfell: Bubbles!

[7thNightvolley]

was on xlive today.. and joined a game.. RUST obviously.. 18 player free for all.. infinity ammo opened the stats.. and saw players with over.. 1000 kills literally.. and some 300 deaths ... joined another same thing but its domination with unlimited time to the game so u can play for literally 1 year if u can stay awake that long... the game only ended after a player uses tactical NUke to end it... that is if u can find a small camp house for a few seconds to get up to 25 kill streak to get that shyt..and u are playing there is so much stuff going on in the air its a freaking mess over 5 harriers and 4 helicompters AC130s maybe about 3 of those carepackages all over the follow u cant pic em.. coz u will die instantly it was funny at first .. but not fun when u wanna play a serious game...all in all... that game is badly broken now..as in BADLY.

[ape007]

for mw2 here,also so much hate for multiplat games that look better on xbox

mmmm let em think,if there was a ps3 exclusive maps coming,I CAN 100% assure you that there will be a HUGE change in comments,you'r gonna hear PRAISES everywhere

guys think outside the box,review the game,write cons and pros,let your opinion truly reflect the truth

don't nitpick and look for cons to BASH THE GAME CAUSE QUITE SIMPLY MW2 IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES THIS YEAR

guys tell me and EXPLAIN why you all were in love with cod4,why do I see this HUGE change in comments,mw2 is just as good or better than 4,is it because it was promoted,sold more,looked better,has more enjoyable online service,has timed exclusive maps and has better control on xbox 360,you liked 4 because IW did a great job PORTING the game 2007 when every game looked inferior on ps3???

do you feel like you are getting leftovers(no it's not mw2 ps3 is awesome too) from your most hated\the enemy console???

also I saw THE SAME LEVEL OF CHANGE IN COMMENTS TO FFXIII,when it was exclusive,you all were in LOVE with it,you acted like it was the best thing ever as soon as it was announced for xbox 360,the only thing I see is HATE comments and a total lost in interest,it feels almost like the game was canceled

well these acts become a trademark in N4G??

can you all please wake up!!

that's FANBOYISM my friend and you got to deal with it...

you guys need to get a life and think outside the box and give every game a true judgement based on a list of pros and cons and then don't worry even if you give it 0 out of 10,it's alright as long it truly reflect your true opinion

seriously guys get a life,im not a mw2 fanboy,game of the year imo is either uncharted 2 or mw2 or new super mario bros,just think and control yourself the RIGHT way

[Admiral_Benson]

Superbly put, excellent comment and couldn't agree more

Bubbles+ to that.

[BattleAxe]

The online play on PS3 has been ok so far, but I wouldn`t have given this game more then an 8.5 out of 10.

[Guido]

I have yet to experience anything worse than the Javelin Glitch. The best way to cure that one was to go into HC Team Deathmatch. After the idiots killed half their team they quit doing it. Besides, I have yet to have any issues and love the game so it's what I play.

Of course, I play on PS3 so to the idiot that claims people bash the game because they are PS3 players... STFU moron.

[HungPHAT]

I went back to COD 4 much better game ! you don't see people sprinting around the map stabbing people 10 ft away , no double shotys , noob halo sticky grandes. I played it last night the servers were packed and people were Playing it and loving it

[JeffGUNZ]

Exactly. I play it on the 360 and have experienced nothing that affected gameplay besides the javelin glitch, and that was limited. Yeah, sometimes I get into a lobby of a game I don't want, but we just back out and search again, usually problem is resolved right away. I bet most of these people trash talking this game haven't even played it at all and are just throwing fuel to the fire. The multiplayer is exciting and fun and I don't believe it's a mess at all. Once another update comes out, then what? People just enjoy bashing what is popular. My friends and I have never experienced any major gameplaying problems due to hacks or glitches and we all have invested 3 days worth of time on the online side.

[iiprotocolii]

I would first like to touch upon the position that you were offered; first and foremost, it was offered when the site *launched* and was looking for writers. However, after closely monitoring your "discussions" and seeing how one sided your opinions are regarding gaming, I definitely changed my mind - hence, why it wasn't being pressed. Sounding intelligent is far from being it, and you, my good friend, are as ignorant as Radio.

Assumptions? Let me just say this, if you've been following DualShockers as much, I'm pretty sure that you would know that it is a *journalist* (keyword) site which publishes _news_ with regards to the gaming industry. Editorials relates to an article stating opinions or perspectives on a given subject. Whether or not they cater to your very own ideals isn't relevant. We don't write to make you happy - we write what we feel is wrong with the industry and publish it for others to discuss. I would like you to find me some of these "assumptions" that we've catered to, since I'm pretty sure we call it how it is - regardless of the console, publisher, or developer.

In your very own opinion, you might FEEL you're speaking the truth. If the majority of people are disagreeing, it's because they feel otherwise - and this has been shown throughout your record here on N4G.

You're very much entitled to your opinion, and best believe that I do respect it, just don't agree with it. It's just funny to see how people like yourself are quick to perpetuate the ideas of how sensationalist or how egregious writing from others are. It's easy to judge from the sidelines, bub. If you think you know the "truth" why don't you write some things up on a personal blog just to see how well received it is.

Point blank, good sir, we could care less if people aren't agreeing with us 100% of the time. We have our credibility, we have our fans, and we have industry folks praising us for our accomplishments in a four month time. All you're doing is giving people an incentive to check us out - and I sincerely appreciate it. Hate can be a great thing sometimes.

[pixelsword]

*Laughs at the hype of it all.*

[pegger24]

@ iiprotocolii
why even bother responding, you aren't gonna change his mind. I may not agree but appreciate the effort in getting gaming news to the masses.
On topic

play it or don't play it, who cares. I play it, the multiplayer is not broken, it just might need a few tweaks, but ultimately I find it fun. But I guess I am supposed to take it really seriously and be pissed if some guys want to create a room with unlimited ammo, or jump to a 10th prestige. Who gives a sh*t? don't like the room you are in, quit and join another one. My god, you fuc*ers complain about everything.

[Anon1974]

I just like playing the game. Unless someone has a particular cheat that ruins the game, what the hell do I care if some nerd wants to hack to get their level 10 prestige mode, or whatever the hell it is.

I just want to enjoy the odd match online. So far, I've had no issues. It's a great game!

[rockleex]

Because I want to unlock the 1885 Shotgun with Akimbo.

Then I'll use it to run and gun people for a few days until I get bored, then I'll go back to COD4. ^_^

I went back to COD4 the other day, and my God! That game was amazing!

The controls were so responsive and precise. There was barely any lag, only once in awhile would you get a slight lag that disturbed your gameplay for a few seconds then disappear.

There were no ridiculous killstreaks that required you to be level 50+ in order to unlock the Javelin to take down the AC130 or Apachi, otherwise you're screwed and the other team gets a Tactical Nuke.

The maps were actually tactically designed, with strategic spots, counter-point spots, etc in COD4.

COD4 was basically a very balanced game where anyone can win with skill. MW2 is a glitchfest, unbalanced, untested, lagfest game.

[morganfell]

"However, after closely monitoring your "discussions" and seeing how one sided your opinions are regarding gaming, I definitely changed my mind - hence, why it wasn't being pressed."

Hmmmm....looks suspiciously like this:

http://badghill.pair.com/ci...

He (it isn't worth speaking to him directly) seems to forget who was asking and who turned down whom. It is apparently convenient it was in the aftermath of my more recent comments he claims to have changed his mind.

he also likes to be less than truthful. His exact invite to write for Dual Shockers reads:

"I've been checking you out on N4G and have taken interest in your outlook of things. Being that you have a fairly good understanding of the industry, from what I perceive, and aren't a grammatical ignoramus, I've taken the time to ask you if you're interested in writing. The goal of our site is to promote what the majority of gaming outlets don't nowadays - diverse writing; honest news; and opinionated pieces that aren't aimed at promoting flamebait. Of course, as the site moves forward, we're open to changes and additions to accommodate our readers and ourselves. I would love to talk with you on a more direct level (AIM, if you have it) and would like to hear your thoughts and opinions. We're looking for writers. Not just any writers, though. But writers that have a non-linear view of the gaming industry and community; a perk which I think you definitely have."

So did he check me out before hand or not? Which is it? Both of those statements are his and since they are opposing only one at most can be true.

He states he had been "checking me out." It is apparent that it took my calling dualshockers on the carpet to induce him to be really thorough... (as any decent real journalist would have been in the first place.)

What we are left with are two unavoidable deductions, one of which must be true.

First he is less than honest and wanted to me to write for his site all along. Only my recent affronts to his small site have forced him don a different public stance of pretense and counter attack not with facts but with petty claims of "However, after closely monitoring your "discussions"...&quo t;

If he is being honest it means he is so incompetent he could not properly delve into the record of someone he would have writing his site. With that poor research technique how reliable can they be?

Second, he is telling the truth and only researched my unchanged stance after the invite... in which case...see the above comment. One cannot have their cake and eat it too. It is either dishonesty or incompetent research. Neither of which paint dualshockers in a decent light.

The fact they have to go on the attack and defend petty articles is also a testament to their lack of professionalism and confidence in their poorly scribed articles. They are too naive to realize that they automatically lose any such argument the minute they act upon their perceived offense.

[iiprotocolii]

Since I am much more mature than you are, apparently, I will respond directly to you. Not only is your argument dissipated after I already confirmed that I did in fact offer you a position on the site, but it also makes you look desperate to try and belittle someone because your debate skills are considerably lacking.

Did I, at some point, think you were a good candidate? Yes. I will reaffirm the answer to make you happy, seeing that you are in fact miserable. However, it still doesn't take away from the fact that, today, as it stands you are indeed a fanatic plebeian of a specific console that feels a sense of godliness by trying to belittle smaller sites which have accomplished more than you have... probably ever.

Let's make one thing clear, Morgan: our site, though small, has accomplished more in four months than others took years to do. I am not only happy to express that we do have loyal fans and that publishers and developers admire us, but am also smiling to myself in knowing that a person with little importance in this industry and community - such as yourself - tries so hard to knock down upcoming sites simply because a) You yourself aren't daring enough to make such a jump with your "truthfulness" b) You're afraid of criticism or c) Are extremely against catering to more than yourself

You're comparing journalistic and individual research to our hiring skills? LOL How does that even go hand in hand? Our press releases as well as our news and editorials are done by receiving press releases, interviews and years of experience in gaming. Where does that even compare? Seriously, Morgan, you're trying so hard to sound eloquently intelligent yet sound so ridiculous to those who can see between your child-like facade. Me trying to get you to write has nothing to do with how we publish and write our articles.

I'm not defending our articles, I am defending smaller sites. People like you who constantly try to diminish small sites through these remarks are exactly what's wrong with the gaming community. Perfect example?

"The first thing you have to realize is dualshockers is a mess. Go back and look at some of the sensation seeking, hit inducing articles they have delivered. Utterly absurd.

I am not saying there are not issues - it's a REAL beta that is occurring before the game is completed - but dualshockers as a game site is a farce."

People are discussing, before and after, the issues that plague the game and you go out your way to make us more popular. LOL You, good sir, won't ever reach the level we have, and you dislike us for it. Haters are a great thing, Morgan. And you're a perfect example of that. I've had industry people PRAISE our/my writing - I don't need someone who thinks they know it all and sits behind a computer to tell me that our site "is a mess" to convince me otherwise. We get millions of hits a month. Why don't you go read some of my editorials and then respond to me. My name is Yaris Gutierrez, by the way. Remember it. Go back to doing what you do best, my good man. Go hate and glorify us small sites.

And now, back to writing. /whistles.

[iiprotocolii]

And this comes down to an editorial I wrote titled "Infinity Ward: Support Your Games" http://dualshockers.com/200... on the site; Although they release excellent games, the fact that they're not consistent with the issues that plague their games is a perpetuating issue with gamers. Don't get me wrong, the game is a great experience, but when you have issues like these not being fixed (as with numerous issues that still haunt Call of Duty 4), one begins to think just how much Infinity Ward takes their customers into consideration.

[SpinalRemains138]

Or consider themselves for that matter. Did you see the fat mess that accpepted the award at Spike awards? How polished can a game be when the devs are out of shape and don't shave themselves?

[BadboyCivic360]

^^^lol

[iiprotocolii]

I expected issues with Modern Warfare 2. Every game has their problems, but most developers release patches as soon as possible to fix these issues. That's the difference.

[taz8080]

I am not sure if they go hand in hand but the last patch seemed to make things worse than they were before. I would have rather left the javelin glitch in if it would have kept these server glitchs out.

[ZBlacktt]

Agree, difference here is COD is always under attack. From the hackers and cheater's as well. We had this issue with COD4 as well. So if you got the game not running right from the dev side. Then you got a massive amount of cheater's. That's more than just some issues.

[Chadness]

That's why I stick to good single player games! :)

[cranium]

Amen to that :)
I thought I was the only one.

[Nihilism]

you are not alone friend

[Bathyj]

I'm with you there guys, and you can all have bubbles.

Online is basically deathmatch, CTF or some variation of it, over and over again. You're constantly reacting to everyone else all the time.

I like single player because I like to play at my own pace, and I like games that let you do that. I sneak around alot and take my time. The game reacts to me.

Deathmatch is more like a bunch of chicken with their heads cut off, running around trying to get kills before they die themselves.

[Somnipotent]

while i like occasional multiplayer games, single player is what i've grown up on.

[Setekh]

I enjoy the good single-player experiences also.

[7thNightvolley]

my friend.. at least on single player reviewers wont look so stupid since the game is likely not to break on u.

[jeseth]

Demon's Souls.

While I loved UC2, KZ2, inFamous, Batman, Ratchet & Clank, Fallout 3, MLB The Show, Madden, and MW2 this year.

I feel that Demon's Souls was a game so challenging and rewarding I can't remember a game that kicked my ass and frustrated me so much but made me come back for more! Pick up Demon's Souls if you haven't already!

[nix]

yeah.. i think MP at the end is rehash of the same. but i had fun playing Warhawk. and i had more fun playing KZ2 online. but i think that's enough for me now. i have only played UC2 Co-play because i wanted to see how it works. it's fantastic. haven't played the other variations because i think for now i'm done with MP.

Demon's Souls is going to keep me busy for now. it does have online MP though. it helps with the tips and blood stains. black phantoms please stay away from me. already the game is so tough. lol.

[thief]

Or better still, something with both a fabulous single player AND a fabulous mulitplayer - KZ2 and UC2

[SpinalRemains138]

"Known as the crap zone"! Eloquent journalism indeed.

[only on playstaychun]

My main issues with the multiplayer isnt the bugs and glitches. Its the campers and people who wait just to rack up killstreaks and ruin what once was a very fun and competitive game at launch. The game now is just plain simple frustrating.

[bunfighterii]

yeah I hate camper nerds, but usually I see where they're camping in killcam and just go back and kill them straight away with a grenade or with the help of a flashbang 2nd time around. it's not that much of a problem if you like me and always seek revenge...muahahaha

[taz8080]

Unfortunately with the glitches people turn the kill cams off so they camp and get ridiculous kill streaks.

[only on playstaychun]

yh I do the same and look at the killcams and try and get some revenge. sometimes it cost me 1 or 2 lifes because they move a bit or hide really well or even have heart beat sensor. But the worst so far is playing modes like sabotage or headquarters where ppl camp around the bomb or the capture point just racking up kills, without accomplishing anything.

[Unicron]

My main issue is the horrible netcode. You've all seen it. You fire first, then die, and the killcam shows you never even fired. Gotta love it. Disgusting.

[bozebo]

deffo.

But you know... all multiplayer games are like that, its just because you can see it in cod.

True though that cod4,5 and mw2 have it more than most other games.
I notice it depends vastly on what router you are using and other network situations though. When my flatmate is made the host, I can't hit anything, when it is somebody over the net with an alright connection it can lag way less than if my flatmate hosts. If I am the host my flatmate can't hit anyone, vice versa.

It is really odd... that is just why they should allow dedicated servers, for all 3 platforms not just pc.

[dirthurts]

Not sure what caused it, but I just played a match with infinite ammo, and no reloading. This was for both teams. Grenade launchers where blowing off about a round a second and people where just running around with their guns blasting the entire time.
Crazy.
I've stumbled across A ton of glitches in the game.
It's still a blast though.

[KillerPwned]

Reminds me of good old socom days on the ps2. Personally i havent encountered any of these problems yet.

[Ninji]

Is this HHG's 2nd site?

[CrippleH]

It's HHG evil brother.

[bunfighterii]

I was really luke warm on MW2 multiplayer (having never played the first one) when I first got the game on PS3, but now like everyone else I'm hooked.

Personally never experienced any of these glitches or issues. I play mostly mercenary team deathmatch and domination, but also I'm not the most seasoned player having only just got to level 17, so here's hoping I don't hit them later.

[PrinceJohnny]

Terrible game...Just...terrible..

[bjornbear]

sorry, i do feel bad for those who "invested" in this "experience"...but I can't help feel like my decision to keep away from this game wasn't a good one =)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Dude...the multi-player is fantastic.

The campaign is even better though...and so is spec-ops.

You're really robbing yourself of an experience if you don't play it.

[bjornbear]

I don't doubt its a great game - but I won't pay €60 for this =/

But i will definitely play it! I never said it's a bad game in any way, just not for me =)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Guys...it's an extremely polished game.

However, there's just so much content in it that fixing all the bugs would have taken years.

Heaven forbid Infinity Ward has a few bugs. At least they're taking care of them.

I think the multi-player is fantastic!

[gemc666]

Sorry, but is IW fault, the hacks are THE SAME as COD 4, how hard it can be to LOCK UP the savefile on the consoles? uh?

all the hacks came from editing your save file, i mean...duh, didn't they learn?

[NecrumSlavery]

I have never seen online gameplay this broken. Are people this blind? This is sad that people complained about Killzone 2 or Resistance 2, when they ran flawlessly online 32-64 players. How many will nitpick at MAG?

IW you suck and got one over on almost 8mil. I hope MW3 barely meets 100k for your lack of quality and complete disrespect for the fans. All the MW2 DLC should be free as a big I'm Sorry to us

[Wrathman]

yep this game truely sank to new levels.between constant games that never end on rust and infinte ammo,no reloading and insane noob tubing.this game is broken online.i love the call of duty franchise but MW2 gives all the signals of a game that took 2 weeks to do.and when the management wanted to launch it,some low level dev said,but its not fixed.the boss just went,ahhh screw it!

it needs a fix and it needs it now!

truely shoddy work IW.this version is halo 3 with a different costume

[outlawlife]

i love how people jump onto infinity ward, this unlimited ammo garbage is not a glitch it is a hack

some idiot edited some files and basically gave it the properties of a virus

sure it is a bummer, but completely not the developers fault on this one

[Majunior]

I'd have to say this game is amazing. And that these glitches are annoying but usually you can drop out before they start and take no loss. Or if you need to go back to dash and take no loss at all. The main problem I'm seeing with this game and what's pissing me off the most is the bullshit that is the akimbo 1887. Absolutely non-sense. I'd like to know how a shotgun can shoot across the map and automatically get a head shot almost every time. This is my biggest problem because it's skill less annoyance which everyone of level runs with. All I can say is I hate these shotguns but I wont stop playing because of them. FIX FIX FIX will come soon enough...but then again you have to think how much testing went into this game anyways? Also why the hell in modern warfare would we be using western old school shotguns...stupid.

[outlawlife]

the shotguns are being changed, IW already stated this a few days ago

the biggest problem right now is the hackers

[Majunior]

That's good news. Also I'm not sure on how much hacking is happening with the 360. I think it's more of glitching than hacking.

[outlawlife]

no the unlimited ammo hack is running rampant, you cant even get into a decent game on matchmaking right now on 360

[saint_john_paul_ii]

how is dual wielding a shotgun possible? wouldn't your wrists break if you do that?

[dkgshiz]

I mean seriously! The game is easy enough. I got a 16 kill streak the first time I picked this game up. I mean you have to be a serious noob if you have to cheat at this game. Wait.... Oh, NVM. CODMW2 is a glitch itself. It has auto aim.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

IT'S A HACK!

Infinity Ward had nothing to do with this!

[Elvfam511]

I know you not defending IW

Its there fault if the hacks are available
and that goes for any game

[bozebo]

hang on...

this is news? where the hell have you been since november 10th?

[Shmotz]

Actually play MW2 online. I play online quite a bit on the PS3 and although the match making issues on the 360 are no small deal everything else. 10th Prestige hack? Whats the big deal if people want to wuss their way in let them,they dont get uber weapons or any of the deal,just extra classes and some titles and emblems. IW is on it when it comes to addressing and fixing issues with the game as has been said with fourzerotwo saying the 1887's will be nerfed.

It isnt hard to DL a game save then mess with the hex coding,pretty much all of these problems could be solved by locking the game saves as to why IW doesnt do that is beyond me.

SP wise who cares how long it is so long as its good? I like my fair share of mindless action movies and thats exactly what the SP gives me.

If you hate the game for how it plays then thats fine but for nitpicking thats just stupid. Like I said, yes the match making issues are a big problem but I dont have that problem. Whats the worst the PS3 has? 10th prestige hack. Out of sight out of mind I s'pose. And be honest with yourselves, what PC game HASNT been hacked nowadays?

[tiamat5]

I am not surprised. Everyone always does this. They run out the first day and buy these kind of games while reviewers praise it to high heaven. Then the glitches start, then the patches and the cheating and the hacking. It makes you wonder how the reviewers missed all this when they reviewed the game. It's strange that no reviewer encountered these things while playing.I think I have finally figured out why everyone buys these types of games.It is because it is easy to cheat, hack and sneak your way to victory. In games like Okami,Psychonaut, Ratchet and Clank etc. you have to play by the rules and work to win. In these games you can cower in a hole or on a rooftop and pick off people with almost little or no effort. Devious.

[pegger24]

reviewers don't review a game for 48 straight hours trying everything they can do to hack and glitch in a game. Seriously. The game is fun as hell, and if you let a few glitches or a few morons who hack ruin your time then that is on you. I have a blast and have yet to encounter anything that makes me say this game is broken and I have put in a lot of time. But I only play Hardcore TD so maybe I am missing all the trouble. But unlimited ammo and no reloading actualy sounds like fun to me...I don't know, I guess I just play to have fun

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Is laughing at you...not me ....YOU

[SARGEHALO666]

...is so messed up now!

Pretty much every game I join is either FFA on Rust or infinite ammo games, or both sometimes. It's really ridiculous.

The game is broken on all platforms yet people still complain about the game and yet they still play it. Inifinity Ward and Activision made the cash from the game it will be after X mas before people see update after updates to repair the hacks and glitches. And fallowing the trend of Infinity Ward how long will it take for them to patch things up. I mean how long did it take for them to fix the UFO glitch on the PS3 almost 2 yrs. Then World at War came out howmany downloadable content was there for Cod 4 i think there was one and it was a map pack for 5 maps after that the game was left out to dry. And Activision was rushing to get the next COD out the door. This isn't the only game out the to play till next year when the new games arrive. I am glad I did not get this game it has more glitches than Left 4 Dead for the xbox why even cheat at Call of Duty most people actually like to play the game the right way with out the glitches or hacks

[saint_john_paul_ii]

no, no, no, no. heres a better question, How long did it take them to place trophies and DS3 support for COD4? **CHIRP** **CHIRP** **CHIRP** **CHIRP**, never.

[Shmotz]

Focus resources MW2.

[boss_killa]

im done with mw2. i sold my copy to my friend for $50.

this will be the last call of duty game i ever buy at full price.

[JoelT]

Beta's (especially when you KNOW for a fact that the game's community will be huge) are a necessary thing this generation.

[DoctorXpro]

I stop playing MW2, gonna comeback when its fixed going back to Forza 3 and L4D 2 and Halo 3.

too many glitches its almost like Gears of "Host power" 2.

[robotnik]

I grew tired of shooters with Team Fortress Classic and Quake III Arena. Those were the days, the best days of the FPS genre.

[thief]

What do you think of KZ2 multiplayer?

[nighmare23]

Back to Halo 3 i guess:) when they add more maps and fix these damn problems then ill come back

GETTING TIRED OF SEEING MODERN WARFARE 2 ISSUES ON HERE....EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Most shooters have hacks or glitches, that some gaming nerd has figured out how to exploit. (This is what you get when XP/Throphies are involved....nerds want to win at the cost of fun...Example, jerk off CAMPERS!) If not this, then you will have to look out for modded controllers in MP mathces..another reason why I don't miss 360 FPS.

I don't even play MW2 (COD4 part 1 is a lot better to me), but I am certain that the whining I'm reading about is nothing new. IW is killing in sales...so the only losers.....ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE GAME. (ESPECIALLY THE PC VERSION....WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?? CRYSIS IS KILLING MW2!) Personally, I am so done with Infinity Ward and Bungie....these guys are like EA sport's Madden franchise. (Milking it, with mild upgrade.)

P.S., Anyone that tries to say ANY console version of the Call of Duty games looks as good as either Killzone 2 or Uncharted 1&2..are flat out lying.

[Armyntt]

I agree with the fact that there is hacks and glitches in any FPS. When there is 6 million people playing something is bound to happen and spread. I disagree with KZ2. I own it and thought it too was overated. In fact its barely mediocre IMO. After all these glitches Ive read about I only ran against the infinite ammo one last night. (Which btw was kinda fun at first) the other ones isnt not even a widespread problem.

[bacon13]

Nice contradiction as saying the game is fine but never played the game yourself. The mulitplayer is being drowned in glitches which hinder the fun and gameplay of legitimate gamers. Most shooters have game breaking glitches? Please elaborate with some more garbled grammar and capital letters.

[oldsnayke]

Here's what's going to happen...

A. Patch is released.
B. Patch fixes all current glitches
C. MASSIVE reset of all the leaderboards on the PC, PS3 and 360. It's going to have to be done, too many people are boosting to keep track of. It seems as if the legitimate players are in the minority.

Besides, even when the MW2 gets fixed, I won't be playing it... L4D2 is much too addicting. CoD4 was much too easy and MW2 is even easier. L4D2 actually has a challenge.

[Ares84PS3]

I'm keep on playing the same levels over and over again. There is no variety.

Oh and the cheaters...the glitchers.

[Rhezin]

What's the point if it? You're not only cheating others, but yourself. You're not a true pro you just took the shortcut. God I wish the FBI would crack down more on them. Send em to jail with all the other convicts, because that's what they are convicts. Let em get raped in prison, the arrogant little pricks.

[Claudinho69]

uncharted game of the year
