How Modern Warfare's Failures Contribute to FPS Gaming

It's hard to talk badly about a game that sold over 1 billion dollars worldwide, because it's clear that they've done something right. In this case that 'something' was Call of Duty 4, a game that set the stage for a whole new generation of shooting games. But now that Modern Warfare 2 is actually out, it's really hard to justify playing it still. Cheaters and exploiters are naturally rampant in almost every single game with a multiplayer component, but Modern Warfare 2 is absolutely out of control.

Yeah, it's kept me from playing outside of of local multiplayer sometimes

BeaArthur5200d ago

I actually traded it in back in December. It was a mess back then and it's a disaster now.

Rucury5199d ago

The only reason I still have a copy around is because my friends continue to play it, even though we all seem to agree that the game is a train-wreck.

Maybe it's the light sound it makes when you get a kill, maybe it's the thunderous rhythm that appears when you level up, it might even be the sound that shows up when you get a kill-streak, but I can't understand why I still play it. Maybe I'm just a hopeful person. Maybe Infinity Ward will fix this game. We all REALLY don't know what's going on in their offices... One might argue that they have their head up their money-buckets or that they forgot about us fans... But maybe they have something up their sleeves?

After all, 10th time's the charm.

Didn't really know it was that bad in terms of cheating on the PC being as i'm strictly console based. That kinda sucks though.

mephman5200d ago

Yea, the PC has been hit pretty hard too.

Sanrin5200d ago

The best part is that each console has had its own unique exploits as well, so its not like they just programmed it wrong. They did it wrong on every single platform.

mephman5200d ago

Way to make them look terrible. :p

It seems like as soon as they find fixes, more are exposed.

ZombieNinjaPanda5199d ago

It's taught us that betas are necessary.

Sanrin5199d ago

I would be terrified to even consider they may of HAD a beta. This game feels like Alpha at this point with all the patches.

ikkeweer5199d ago

It´s common knowledge reconfirmed.

DlocDaBudSmoka5199d ago

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast4d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk4d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast4d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk4d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac4d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk4d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
