Stop playing Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer!

Stop playing Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer!! I’m not saying we have to. But Infinity Ward and Activision sure seem to.

[Nitrowolf2]

the title a bit missleading, the writer complaining about the bugs a connection issue

How ever it does bug me to see that half my PSN list people are playing it, don't people ever get bored of it?

[failsoles]

Activision pls release more DLCs.

[Nitrowolf2]

um yeah tehy just released a new one
for 15 bucks again
Yeah Acti lower the price please to 7.99 a more reasonable price for consumer cause for 3 new maps and 2 old ones yeah thats a great price
Dude you buy both these map pack you pay for half the game already, they need to add more stuff then that, if it included new spec ops mission and trophy/achievment support for those mission then it might be worth teh 15 bucks

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

all the old maps from cod 4 could have been integrated over and that should have been free. the maps were already there, I cant tell a difference between the old and recycled.

this article should have called for people to stop the ignorant throwing away of money to make the developers impress us rather than rape us.

I mean seriously, look at the last few weeks releases and see how much DLC is now out for both consoles. How in the hell does a company release dlc before the game even ships and actually charge for it. ANSWER: Because there are always dumbasses who will fall for it and buy it.

"You can fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time."

Until people stop supporting this crap, they will keep milking it. Wait until they start making us pay extra to unlock the online play as an exclusive feature. Its coming folks, and its already starting on the consoles with the used game policy that some companies are putting out. STOP IT BEFORE IT STARTS, Don't support those companies. RENT<RENT<RENT

[failsoles]

Console gamers like to pay for stuff that should be free. I dont see what the problem is.

[ElementX]

If half your friends are playing it, you need new friends.

[Zydake]

All my friends at school play this trash :(

[God_Of_Epicness]

OMG! Same here. Everyone on my friends list play this crap. This game wasted 370 hours of time in my life. Now, i have stopped and noticed that it is mediocre. UNCHARTED 2 is way better. Multiplayer is so good.

[Red-Dead-Roar]

it took you 370 hours to figure that one out..? lol.

[Eamon]

rofl

[execution17]

ALL they play

[theonlylolking]

You mean if thats ALL they will play.

[MGRogue2017]

That won't be happening too soon.. I don't think. CoD Addiction is a very strong disease & there is no cure.. apart from maybe Bad Company 2 but even after taking a dose of that.. They still go back to Modern Warfare 2.

I should know.. I am also a victim of it. :(

[BattleAxe]

I played BC2 for a solid month and earned all of the trophies, but now I'm so bored of that game, mmainly because the maps are boring now, and its turned into a sniping game with sniper dropping artilery strikes everywhere.

So now I'm back to playing MW2, Uncharted 2 and Zombies on CoD: WaW.

[HSx9]

HDMI now comes with the PS3.

[Zydake]

Lol random Response?

[Shendow]

..................@_@......... ..................

[WhatARump]

No one is forcing any of you to play the game and despite what you say, people still enjoy it!

Really, it's so immature to tell someone what they should like and what they shouldn't.

[Theonik]

Only 1 person on my list plays it so i'm happy.

[God_Of_Epicness]

That is because you only have 1 friend and that guy is your big brother.

[God_Of_Epicness]

That's because you only have 1 friend and that guy is your big brother.

[Theonik]

Nah got 60 people on my friend list only 1 plays it and tbh i feel worried cause his brother that has it on 360 took 600 until i managed to get him off it. lol
He was one of those lightweight + commando + marathon n00bs mind you.

[Keltik82]

I'm always wondering the same thing! I'm not bashing it but wtf is everyone playing it soo damn much for?! I can think of other least buggy just as fun online games to play right now. Not to mention Activision is just laughing it up in their office at everyone paying $15 for some maps, absol-f**kn-lootly not. Failosles please tell me your throwing a lot of sarcasm our way cause that was just stupid.

[Raz]

The author's all bent out of shape about the lack of server maintenance. Why wonder about it, though? Infinity Ward's jumped the shark. They barely have enough people to put out their next game, never mind paying any attention to existing ones.

[Syronicus]

Not if half your friends are playing it and you consider yourself loyal to them. I play it all the time and not just for the game sake but to play something with my friends that we all enjoy. It's not the game that is most important, it is the interactivity with your friends.

[AliTheBrit19]

Same here haha, theres never really a time when someone on my list isn't playing MW2 online

or lately, its Red Dead Redemption.

[Speed-Racer]

I gotta admin the connection issues on Steam have been rather annoying, but it really hasnt been enough to stop me... hopefully COD7 sees dedicated servers

[Legosz]

I play this game on my 360 all the time, no connection issues?

[DirtyLary]

On 360 I got dumped from about 5 games last night. Something is up. Everyone at the sametime gets a connection error.

[Theonik]

Black ops is confirmed to have dedicated servers for PC but seeing as it is made by Treyarch and that they made W@W which had a rather bad Mp i am not that excited for it.

[SuperbVillain]

damn,that sucks..

[STICKzophrenic]

"But for now, I’ll just go back to playing the multiplayer with lots of lag, disconnections, and people shooting me in the face because the game froze and they had five minutes to notice me aiming at them."

That's why nothing will be fixed. You continue to play it despite all of the problems you encounter on a seemingly regular basis.

[WildArmed]

Exactly.
If your still making money, ur inclined to not change anything.
The minute u stop making money, thats when you gotta work on the issues.

AS it is right now, Acti doesn't give a fuk.

People B~tch about it, but talk is cheap.

They'll play it for months to come (and enjoy it on the inside too~)

[tiamat5]

Yes and why not ask the sun to stop shining, the moon to stop rising and the tides to stop flowing. MW2 people are like SMG people. The more you point out the game's glaring faults, the more they go into denial. They are a stubnorn lot. Forget trying to use reason to convince them

[HDgamer]

I stopped playing 6 months ago

[NumeroUno]

I agree with the title...

[Ripyealip]

why stop something so good?

[MikeTyson]

No it's trash you punk

[Ripyealip]

you obviously need to GTFO of this site if your going to be so ignorant. if it was trash why do people play it so much? ill tell you its because its a fun game. yes it does have alot of issues but its so fun that the issues dont stop me from playing this game.

[N4g_null]

Rip people think crack is fun too. Maybe if this is your first real online game I can see it being fun. It's almost like quake for casual gamers.

I guess this game along exposes how many hd gamers arn't all that hardcore at all. I'm willing to bet the people who grew up with a snes don't even game any more. I'd say it's less than a million of those gamers left.

I'm also betting the servers for mw2 will go down forcing you guys to buy the new version.

[WhatARump]

It is a really great game :)

If you don't like it, don't play it.

[Chaotic_Lament]

I love playing the game. My GOTY for 2009. I plan to keep playing for years more.

[MikeTyson]

nerd

[xabmol]

Calling someone a 'nerd' on an internet gaming site.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

people who say...stop playing mw2 or mw2 is shit...is simply cause they sux at cod and got owned so many times they hate the game,i think mw2 is a decent game and perfect to play with friends and have a good time, idk why people hate it so much.

[Snezana]

point is that we love MWF2, but the disconnections and errors make me sad. Just want to turn it on and play for 3 hours straight without interruption. But as said in the article: if anyone has any solutions / tricks for some of the problems, please do post, cause we all want to keep on playing! No real hope for Infinity Ward to fix it since, you know, they've fallen apart..

[jmmurillo86]

It's a shame that MW2 overshadows better (IMO) games like BF:BC2 and MAG. Both are miles deeper (objective based, tactical team play, support roles, vehicles and mounted weapons, large open maps) than MW2 arcadeness.

[execution17]

both :) so far no regrets, im set for shooters until socom 4 drops and possibly R3

[XactGamer]

Never played it, played the fist one though and didn't like it.

[chiwoo]

millions of people will not stop playing MW2 . i stooped and moved on to Battlefeild 2 have not picked it up since.

[Snezana]

Want to try that one too, what are some of the differences in game play with MWF? Never really played the Battlefield series, CoD fan since I was young :P

[Naso]

The entire game is different really, It's more like modern TF2 really, witch is already a big plus. There are 4 classes, they all do different things, and they are all needed to win a match. Teamwork is a must, if you don't have it, you will die.

The only problem that I don't like with BC2 is that there is no "all talk" or even "all team talk" for the servers. You can only talk to your squad of 4, there are usually, 3 or 4 per team. I wish I could talk to the rest of the team or entire server. Brings a nice community communication aspect that I love in TF2, make the game more enjoyable.

[MikeTyson]

BFBC2 > MW2

[OutgoingSquall]

Mag is better then both of them.

[SPACEBALL 1]

as much as I agree that mw is trash... Mag is the biggest boring pile of sh1t I have ever played. It doesn't belong in the same league as mw2 or bc2.

[Naso]

He's not saying people should stop playing the game but just complaining that the IWNET servers or what ever they are, are broke. He's complaining about general bugs and lag that plagues this game.

Personally, I think they need to "kill it with fire". This game was massively advertised and hyped, while the dev team was not ready. They didn't even have a beta test for the game and the hole "no server" thing.

This game could have been grate, but oh well, what are you going to do with massive publishers like activision breathing down there necks to finish because they want all the money in the world.

[Brewski007]

So so sooo many people on here just read the headline of the article and try to comment based on that. Yhis article is a good example of this.

[drzmvp554]

i stopped playing like 4 months when i realized that I was playing a half finished game.

[Gago]

it will still be the most played online game on XBL/PSN with or without you lol

[ian72]

I haven't played MW2 half as much as I played MW. Then again, BFBC2 and MAG have taken up my online time.
I haven't come across many people glitching etc (PS3 version) on MW2 but BFBC2 and MAG are more enjoyable to me.

[clarkdef]

Simple things amuse simple minds.

[Mista T]

only posers keep playing mw2. it seems to be the "in" thing to do.

[SPACEBALL 1]

just like bashing mw2 on the internet seems like the "in" thing to do

[Ironfungus]

"I don’t want anyone to stop playing MWF2 Multiplayer."

Oh. How very misleading - 'cause I DO want people to stop playing this pathetic excuse for a shooter.

[kornbeaner]

This game is ok in small doses but I will never play this the way I played MW1. MW1 was top of the hill, MW2 is side of the hill overlooking the sea of Crap it leaves behind.

[kornbeaner]

Arcade Breed - NES raised right here. I've been gaming over 20 years, back when games didn't have to hold your hand. But now a days that's all people go for the simple and easy. But to each their own as long as there are some developers that create great games (Naughty Dog and kojima productions are my favorites this gen) I have no problem, but if something like MW2 becomes the standard of game productions that is when I will most likely stop.

[N4g_null]

See this is what I'm talking about. This game does produce skilled players like say a quake did. It's a spawn box for camping and spamming.

Then you just look at the skil required to play some of these games and it very low. So low no one even wants to watch people play any more.

There are many game types that simply can not be made now that the hardcore game majority just can't cut the mustard. Hell lots of gamers havnt even opened or beat most of their games.

Story now replaces the drama that was skill based. There nothing like owning in einhander or games like it.

Also only a casual gamer wouldn't want their own fps server. The gamer iq pool is getting low it seems.

[DiLeCtioN]

you know its broken when you stab a sentry gun or a person once and they die.

Am glad i stopped playing it, biggest dump thats out there.

[outwar6010]

i've bought and sold this game atleast twice so far it has such an addictive aura; that fades after a week. Then you miss it when its gone AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH H the guys at respawn did a good job with the online

[BannedForNineYears]

I was hoping this would be an article on why my 100 friends should stop playing MW 2 because it's an overrated piece of crap that people think they're good at because they use nubetoobs and using duel 1887 shotguns.

[HINDERIZATION]

i have the gold title for SPAS-12...
after i got that, i seriously only played like 1-2 times a week...

[HINDERIZATION]

so i invite my friends in free-for-all to boost with me lol

[nunley33]

i've heard of people doing these things. Leveling up without actually doing anything or gaming for real.

[HINDERIZATION]

haha...
i just do it because i'm not really playing it anymore.

[RockmanII7]

My friend got into a 10th prestige lobby and now we all make fun of him for it

[Pootangpie]

seriously sometimes I wish articles like these weren't allowed to be vialdated on here

[Snezana]

you should stop playing. Read the entire article ( / opinion piece officially). And it's not a fanboy website man, at least I didn't see any "I LUV PS3" or any crap like that :-P

[karan8624]

It shouldnt be approved due to the fact that in the very first sentance he says that he made the title misleading for quick hits to get attention

[instrumentalist]

I don't know how this slipped by (everyone), but we're now in a phase where MAPS are being sold for 15 bucks a pair.
No idea how that happened, but way to go fellas, just you wait 'til the "free" fps madness hits the heads of the likes of Activision..
"ooh, a rifle on the ground! - 1$ To Pick up - dammit!"

Stop buying free cr*p. 99,9% of dlc's could've been patch-material.
Their pockets won't mind releasing that bonus content for free, they've been around for 3 decades + hacked into Blizz-stash :D

[IntelligentAj]

I knew that some gamers thought they were elite but damn you guys are hating hard right now. I love MW2 multiplayer. It's got it's fair share of problems(more than any other FPS ive played) but it's fun as hell and is that not the point of games. I played the hell out of KZ2 which takes alot of skill so i think I have a pretty good handle on what makes a fun game for me. I just can't understand why you guys just don't stop hating. MvsC2 was broken as hell but was still fun, especially when you were winning. Winning is fun, Losing isn't

[N4g_null]

You hit the nail on the head. The game mechanic isn't fun you just like owning noobs. This gets old also. People use to just stack teams to do this. This game along proves people online have no need for a challeng any more this is simply a play ground where you get a gold star at the end.

Iw knows you guys love being a holes and your all eating it up.
It's like if you picked up a tranny at a bar and still slept with him lol. Every one is looking at you gamers with a lot less respect now.

The industry will be going for a pay system online because they know live works. At least the true casuals play their games for free.

It's like if Dora had a fps and you got on there to beat 3 years olds. Yeah you can win but your really loosing. Too many sore loser online maybe.

[Captain Tuttle]

Loved the first Modern Warfare. Very underwhelmed by the second. Haven't played it in months.

[Shendow]

I don't have a PS3 right at the time, so I been playing my friends an I been playing MW2 alot and got the add ons today but as soon as we use them.

Well couldn't even load a game, it is worst them it has been before, hope they fix it. The game isn't bad but the people with no life and spend most of their time cheating are what kill the game.

I quit a game after shooting a guy for about 10mins while he was sniping and then it finally turns to me an shots me -_- it gets pretty bad sometimes.

[RELAX]

who is that loser.

[LiquifiedArt]

Anyone missing out on 3D Dot heroes and Mod nation, because of overdoing CODMW2 MP, needs their head checked. I Highly recommend both.

[spektical]

simple minds play simple games. :)

[nunley33]

only played it a few times this year and that was because a friend came over and wanted to play it. I'm not leveled up very high (maybe 15 or slightly higher) but after i went through the single player and some spec ops i put it away and never really got back to it. Too many other good games for me to play on my ps3. Like UNCHARTED 2, that has multiplayer. both games had double xp weekends recently, but for the whole weekend i just played UC2 and didn't get to the MW2. my psn is nunley33

[XGreyFoxX]

The game was good but after a few months I began playing God of War III. I liked the online alot but ever since those damn lags and server problems I thought to myself why would you keep playing and complain about the lags when you can play other good games. This game is a waste of time. Battlefield 2 should of gotten more attention.

[ultramoot]

"Stop playing Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer!"

Okay, I didn't like the game either. In fact, I hate Activision to the core. But who are you to tell people what they can or can't play? You have ZERO authority over what game they choose to play. BTW, who approved this s**t?

[HarryM]

.. That on the picture the game is telling the player to open up their NAT type? Maybe that's why she can't find games or decent hosts etc..

[PSWarlord]

People still play this trash, the game was broken from day one!I loved COD4 but I have lost all respect for the COD franchise...Bought BFBC2 about a month after being abit sceptical from being in the beta and im so happy that i gave it a second chance, definatly my favorite shooter since CounterStrike...I love demolitioning buildings even tho I kill my team 99% of the time (Sorry guys lol) 5 kills away from the demolition man trophy.

Get battlefield and give the game the credit it deserves, you wont look back, MW2 sucks donkey balls

[jjesso1993]

I hate mw2 to but at then end of the day who am i to to tell people what they should and not enjoy

[stuffwithstuff]

already did.

Also, very misleading title.

[CaptainKratos]

ok...oh wait i already have. :D

[Claudinho69]

mw2 is the most beloved online game now period, thats a fact...hate it or love it...so u guyz are wasting yr time bashing it here

[cleanhealthy12]

Its so pathetic how you all hate on MW2, it is actually you who seem like the sheep to hate MW2 just because every real hardcore gaming geek does (you know the geeks who argue about gaming companies and developers on forums instead of playing games). The reason you hate it, its because you suck at it, i'm willing to bet that everyone here talking crap sucks d*ck at the game, k/d's under 2.0 and win ratios in decimal places. pathetic.

my MW2 stats rounded off-

56000 kills
18000 deaths
3.15 k/d
62 killstreak
3500 wins
650 loses
5.52 win ratio
250 win streak

maybe you should talk less on forums & spend time actually playing,

get good.

[n4gno]

lol.

ratios and stats mean nothing in noobs/aracde/campers/etc game.

tell me about your kills/hours in KZ2, and i will listen.

[ATi_Elite]

The game is broken and your too stupid to even figure it out. I've sat and watched someone kill 172 people before he got bored and turned off the game.

So your 62 kill streak is child's play to what you can do in this "BROKEN GAME" but please by all means don't ever stop playing it, EVER. lol

Your not killing 62 people in a row in Bad Company 2 and I don't care if it's the developer playing against blind and crippled 5 year olds it ain't happening.

[ATi_Elite]

Another desperate fake video game journalist prostituting his creditability for web hits.

Actually I should thank IW for making MW2 because all the No0bs and 10 year olds play it instead of BFBC2 making BFBC2 such an enjoyable experience of not having to listen to racist 10 year olds from the suburbs cursing and incorrectly using inner city slang while they get pwned even though they are haxors.

So by all means Please keep playing Modern Campfare 2 and all you non gaming morons....stay away from BFBC2 servers.

[gypsygib]

I already did a when I got BFBC2.

[Jason143]

I traded this in after getting it. They ruined the series and made it so pick up and play friendly it simply ruined it for me. 4 kills starts your streak rewards and 4 turns into 35, nuke game over. It wasnt fun after the 10th nuke. WAW was the best in the series in terms of my personal taste. Zombies ftw

[D0UbleF_]

What can I say. BFBC2 is taking it over with:
- Better gameplay
- Better graphics
- Just euhmm.. NOT BORING :D?

[RELAX]

yooooo
