Modern Warfare 2 3rd Person is Broken

DualShockers writes:

Modern warfare 2 is broken! Yes there is a patch that went live today for the Xbox 360 and I just downloaded it but it looks like there are still things broken.

I just played a 3rd Person Tactical match on the map Rust where it was supposed to be a CTF match and was greeted with a rude awakening.

Come on Infinity Ward! Only Windows is supposed to patch patches.

Product of arrogance.

execution175246d ago

there's a third person mode.... lol i just blazed through the campaign and now it just sits there collecting dust

Saaking5246d ago

Good thing I haven't bought this game.

@f789790

All software has bugs, even patches. It's impossible to avoid them.

You're a product of arrogance yourself.

@y0haN

But how many of those games purposely allow you to modify their save files in order to hack and unlock everything?

In fact, I'd say MW2 has 5 times more glitches than COD4. COD4 merely had savehacks and glitch through objects.

MW2 on the other hand... O_O

Glitchiest game ever released? How did this game game such high reviews?? Some reviewers are morons.The amount of games I seen been shot down for being glitchy like saints row 2 etc.. yet this game gets over 90 scores and not one mention of them. Typical media crap eh?? The gaming world is full of BS reviewers on the payroll of MS/devs or being a fanboy.

You would think that eventually devs would learn how to do all this sh!t correctly...

CyberCam5246d ago (Edited 5246d ago )

Many people asked for a beta... but they (IW) ignored them because they wanted to sell more units. IMO I don't believe they would have sold as many units as they did if there were a beta.

I'm not saying a beta would have fixed all the problems, but it would sure have reduced the number of bugs. There's just to many bugs for a supposed "AAA" game. It's like all those millions of gamers bought a into the hype and only became beta testers for IW.

Glitchiest game EVER released? Go play Gears of War 2...that mess is still after a year+ not even close to fixed.

MW2 is playable WAAAAY more than Gears 2 ever could be. I get the massive amounts of hate thrown at IW with everything surrounding the game. I've played so many matches, and was in the top 300 in the world for MW2 on 360 before I started to play less to get caught up on other games like AC2 and Dragon Age, and out of those massive amounts of matches only a handful had people glitching(most of which were javelin glitchers which is fixed now).

The game is far from unplayable, it is far from unfun, and at this point people need to lay off until they invest some time in the online multiplayer. My experience and many others is that it is a great multiplayer game that can hold most over until the next big thing(MAG,BFBC2,etc).

If anything rent the game, give it a whirl, and see what assessments you can make from it. Most FPS fans will agree the game offers a lot of fun.

JoelT5247d ago

there will be another patch inbound. Ridiculous! This generation of games has given us the most advanced games ever, yet they all somehow ship full of bugs and flaws.

LastDance5247d ago

just imagine what it will be like in the future

mrv3215247d ago

They'll patch in textures :P

kaveti66165247d ago

More advanced hardware is prone to more problems.

People say that Nintendo is sophisticated because their Famicoms still run while their 360s are broken. The real reason is because the leap in hardware is met with more components, more heat, more chance for failure.

Same thing with games. Online games run on both game code and net code. More chances for glitches.

mrv3215247d ago

The most complicated things break most while being true, we still shouldn't forgive developers who ignore clear bugs just to get their game out on time.

kaveti66165246d ago

And yet I still get disagrees for stating something that should be painfully obvious to most of you. I'm not defending Infinity Ward. I'm just saying that online glitches are prevalent in this generation because many more things are happening now than ever before.

cjflora5246d ago

The PS3 has more advanced hardware than the 360, yet the 360 hardware is more prone to failure. I think it's matter of companies ensuring their more advanced technology is ready before releasing.

Third person is messed up, you can play 18 people on small maps. Craziness.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G256d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood256d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G256d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade256d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality256d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator255d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G256d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85256d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G256d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo256d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg256d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast256d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
