I haven't been able to spot any glitches, but I have had problems with matchmaking and my party getting dropped randomly. I hope this update get that fixed.

Parties often get separated when the rooms migrate, plus the one thing I hate is that the claymores are basically useless in MW2.

During private party matches, some of my friends would randomly get dropped out of matches and I noticed some serious lag in a few matches over the weekend. It would be nice if the matchmaking would cap levels, or at least have the option available, such as lvl 1-20, 20-40, and so on. It seems that low levels are always in with people 40-50 levels beyond them. Also I second the akimbo shotguns.

1.8 - claymore ftw
The only glitch I've noticed is if I'm using the care package killstreak the odd time I'll get a dud, nothing in it.

I still love claymores, along with scavanger I get s ton load of claymore kills. I've had double kills off one claymore. I love hearing the "click boom!", then I just go and pick up another off the dead body, then rinse and repeat.

1.9 - I seen guys
I seen guys sniping with shotgun and handguns from across the map and getting the kills, ether fix that or remover the Pucking Distance and Damage statistics from the game cause the seems points less, i know a bullets is a pullet no matter wat guns shots it but making every gun 2 bullets kill is just idiotic specially when is a handgun shoting an enemy from across the Pucking maps and getting the kill, some of the kills people are getting are just not logical

i saw a guy trow a knife from his one his HQ to the other HQ and get the kill, i seen that sh!t make an impossible bounce and kill someone.

PLEASE FIX THAT

1.10 - Talking about claymores, last night...
this guy got 4 kills with one claymore on us while playing hardcore headquarters. He must have been happy.

Another thing we saw last night was a group of @$$'s using the Javelin Glitch, we still won! http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Only a few things really bother me more than the noob akimbo BS...

first off there HAS to be more of a punishment for leavers. The game is full of weak ass campers who try to pad their K/D ratio every match and leave when its not going there way, effectively screwing the team they leave behind especially in objective based match types where number of players is everything. Maybe deducting 10 kills every time you leave would encourage people to man the f*ck up and get gud. There also needs to be 5 seconds of invulnerability after a host change, cant count how many times the clock has counted down to restart the match and I've been instakilled.

How about having matchtypes with killstreaks turned off, i find that i've been killed more by killstreaks then actual bullets. You can say that's part of the game or that i suck but in the end i have no control over if a killstreak kills me or not, i just have to accept it and its not like the person using it was playing great, rather he just camped with hardline whilst the rest of them team did the objectives.

Also i HATE when im looking for a lobby to join but instead get dropped in to the middle of a match, usually on the loosing team and with all sorts of killstreak rewards raining down on me. Why can't there be an option to say "hey i only want to join pre game lobbies"?, after all didn't 100 billion people buy this game?, im sure theres at least one pre game lobby running for me to join at any time.

1.13 - The Javelin Glitch is
a glitch that allows the noob that can't get a kill any other way to run around with a Javelin like any other gun (pull the trigger and BANG, DEAD! No waiting for it to lock on to a location with the glitch) but with the power of still the Javelin, and works well indoors taking out everyone.

I do think it kills the noob as well but if you have 2 or 3 teammates capping a headquarters, the noob can run in and take out everyone and himself with the Javelin Glitch. I saw 3 being taken out at a time a few times.

No actual info except the fact that there is a title update coming. I could have told you guys that much.

3 - Update....
In this update, I would love to see one thing added to the game's HUD. How about a killstreak counter? There are too many times in the heat of battle that I lose count of my killstreaks. Especially, when I am going for my AC-130, I lose track after my seventh kill in a row.

3.1 - I would love a killstreak counter
Also, though I'm happy there are ironing out the glitches and all, I am wondering if they are going to make any major changes.

I personally want Juggernaut back just because Stopping Power is incomparable, or at least Stopping Power to do less damage.

The game is great but I find dying/killing is much too easy and fast and it's usually due to the Stopping Power.

Also, Assault Rifles need to be toned down-- there needs to be some idle sway and more recoil.

I don't really mind care packages but I would like for it to be a little more harder to get the better killstreaks than it already is.

I understand that they are trying to make this more casual-friendly and though the game is still very competitive, I would love for the above modifications.

A second thing I would love to see changed, get rid of the deathstreaks. I hate running into a person who has one (pill) and I am on a long killstreak.

What's funny is that you can't kill a person who has Painkiller on (or the 'pill' as you said) with a predator missile. I mean, COME ON! A direct hit with it should kill anyone!

3.4 - hmmm....
I want to see them try a playlist that doesn't have killstreak rewards. It'd be interesting to see if people actually played it, and if it would cut the camping down. I was in a domination game where my team destroyed the other in points. We had double their score, but there was one buy camping in a building with one man army and nuked us at the end so we lost. It was stupid.

Personally I would prefer they tone down the grenade launcher attachment. Or make a perk that reduces explosive damage taken. I know there's the blast shield, but c'mon...using that thing sucks.

-I think the guns that need to be toned down are the light machine guns. Just like the first Modern Warfare, they are WAY too accurate and have far too little recoil. They should be set to be exceedingly inaccurate unless fired while prone. Right now they are laser-accurate.
-Shotguns need waaaaaaaaaaay more recoil, too.
-The Magnum sounds weak...c'mon, give it some "oomph".
-They need to nerf the Commando perk. I have seen way too many people warp into knife kills from 20 feet away whilst getting shot repeatedly. It ends up functioning more like a glitch than a perk.
-The semi-autos to be toughened up a bit. There should be more incentive to using a semi-auto weapon. As it is, the FAL feels no more accurate or powerful per round than the SCAR-H. What's the point?
-Enact an accuracy penalty for all dual-wield loadouts.
-On the 360, give us the ability to map the gun/sight functions to the shoulder buttons...the triggers on the 360 feel far too sloppy/mushy for this...especially with semi-auto weapons. Isn't that how the PS3 is setup? Why not the 360?

Finally...GIVE US THE ABILITY TO SEE OUR CONNECTION QUALITY BEFORE THE ROUND STARTS!

reduce power/range/accuracy of akimbo model 1887.

Make scavange not work for noob tubes.

Reduce power of Chopper gunner.

Decrease amount of time it takes for shots fired from the AC-130 to get to the ground(this makes the AC-130 crap compared to chopper gunner imo)

Make blast shield resistant to flash grenades.

Decrease amount of damage you take when you fall (honestly I jump like 5 feet and theres blood in my eyes...really?)

Reduce distance at which you can spot targets with the thermal scope.

Make it so that one shot to the head is a one hit kill for all weapons(strange request I know but some guns like AK47 take like 2 shots to register a headshot)

Bring back regular team tactical (3v3 first person)
thats about it

I actually agree with these points, especially about the shotguns. So many idiots running around with dual shotguns.
Shut this user up Let user speak
TheBest - 110 days 5 hours ago
6.2 -
1. Agreed.
2. They won't do it because you can just as easily own with any other gun.
3. They won't do it because you can easily rocket launcher down the chopper gunner, making it not fair to the user.
4. See 3 + AC130 shots have a huge radius of effect, so it's meant to destroy groups of enemies.
5. Agreed.
6. Not a problem for me.
7. Not fair because snipers don't really have huge advantages in MW2 as opposed to other games, due to the Killcam and showing up on the radar.
8. Didn't know about this, but if it's true, agreed.
9. Agreed.

I'm going to add one more (this is only for those not from the US):

10. Being from Australia, I'd like them to introduce local matchmaking/searching. They say the matchmaking is designed to find the most optimal game, but I always join servers where there are 3 or 4 Aussies versing a bunch of Americans with full green bars, and we all have 1 or 2 bars.

You can't tell me there aren't 12 friggin' Aussies available to play TDM/Sabotage/FFA when I want to!

Oh and some say it "splits the community", but I don't see how you can really split a community as huge as that of Modern Warfare 2's.

COD4 had the same problem with HS recognition. I can't say it's a bug but they might have put it in place to eliminate spray HS kills. However, nothing is more irritating than lining a HS up on someone not moving and not having it register.
Shut this user up Let user speak
peeps - 110 days ago

yeh the hs issue has been there since cod4 i.e. it's to do with the engine, and like u say, they could put it in deliberately to stop 'lucky' headshots.

and it is 2 with basically every gun. went up behind a guy not playing the other day and lined up a headshot with my red dot, fired a single shot from my ACR that hit hit in the head, i saw it register and blood come out but it took a second for the headshot to register and for me to get a kill.

other times i've only been able to see someones head, i shoot them and just get a normal kill. it means going for the headshot challenges is more luck than skill, i find the only really reliable way it to aim for the very top of their head

I agree that it has issues, but it is 100 times better than the party system COD:W@W had. It would take me and my friends an hour literally to get in a game together. It's the reason we stopped playing together.

Edit: that's on the ps3 version, I hear the 360 version worked better but I can't confirm or deny that.

12 - You know what'd be cool
Create a little scoreboard showing what everybody got like " Most time spent camping", "Most kills with a noob tube", "Least valuable player" , "Most damage inflicted towards own team", "Longest death steak", "Lowest KD ratio." It would be mean, but funny for you and your friends just for laughs.

Spawn system needs a little tweaking. I dislike it when three enemies spawn right behind me when most of my team is moving away from me.

13.1 -
it seems to have always been a problem with cod :( seeing a guy spawn on killcam and there you are is so frustrating. Also i've been killed by a chopper gunner before my guys even raised his gun. i mean why spawn me right in the open next to teammates being shot to hell.

and that brings me on to the chopper gunner. yes ppl can shoot it down but seriously on some maps you just cant because you're dead before you even switch to ur launcher (take wasteland or afgan for instance)

and imo for both the chopper gunner and ac-130 you should have to manually deploy flares. This would make it a bit more skillfull tbh. i mean 11 kills isn't that hard to get at all, especially with all the other killstreaks available. and with hardline its only 10 kills!

i dunno, i guess killstreaks are a massive part of cod but imo it just encourages even more camping, and i'm guilty myself. i join a room thats just a little way started and already my teams low on flags on domination. i basically camped, got a harrier, got a chopper gunner and got the nuke. our team was about to lose by a massive margin and yet we won because of my camping...

Do something about all the powerful dual wielding weapons. I am starting to really hate this game. People are just camping everywhere, going for kill streaks, and I can get killed by shotguns from wayyy too far away. They are close range weapons, right?

Oh, and the spawn system is atrocious. I get respawned near whoever killed me just about every time and get the "taken revenge" or whatever it is called sign wayyyy to often. I also get spawned on grenades or under bombs wayy too often.

16.1 - what camping problem?
if you keep getting pawned by campers you obviously have no strategic thoughts in your head while playing otherwise you would find a way around them there arent many places on any of the maps in the game where you can camp without having at least one spot for the enemy to attack which u cant defend if you find a player is camping think before running back in a rage and get him some other way, use ur mic and get a team mate to help you flank them or something its not that hard.I dont want to seem like im being an arse but camping doesnt make you impossible to kill sometimes harder but never impossible.

My top things for them to fix is first the hosting i have been put as host a heap of times now and every aussie in the game i host has full green bars then for some reason an american gets put in the match with us and when the match is finished we go back to the lobby start the next match and the american is host and everyone but them has a red connection why is that we all had green bars 11 of us and 1 american with red then the next match it makes 11 of us red and the 1 american green WTF!!!

My second complaint is like alot of others for them to fix getting spawned right next to the enemy or the enemy spawning right next to me usually right behind me to it makes no f#cking sense.

anywho thats my rant

19 - This game has a few issues
I agree with mostly everybody

Dual shotguns own anything, most of the time u dont even have to aim directly and they got a lot of range in this game.

The whole knife thing is true too, the hit detection is horrible, oh and with commando its like you glitch towards the player, i would know i started using it. Its a shame when I can run up to somebody while they are shooting at me and still knife them.

The matchmaking. Why is it that most of the time I end up on the crap team when the other team has 3 to 4 prestige and mine has none. The way they split the ranks up is completely messed up. And kill death ratio should contribute as well, teams need to be more balanced. Its messed up when I get most kills 5 games in a row and my team looses every one of those games.

They need to fix the party system, messes up sometimes (im playing on 360 btw)
