4 Reasons Not To Trade-in Modern Warfare 2

NowGamer: When I spent an afternoon playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops’ multiplayer at Treyarch’s Santa Monica headquarters back in August, I loved it. I thought Treyarch was really going to turn a corner this time.

Sensible solutions to problems in previous COD titles had been found and a lot of clever, creative ideas had been added on. When I got home and saw “No Tactical Insertions” in the description of Free-For-All matches, that alone was enough to make me decide to trade-in my copy of Modern Warfare 2. But I didn’t get around to it and, six days later, I’m sure glad of that. Honestly, I’ve been getting so annoyed I almost spilled milk down my chin then punched a wall. Almost...

To late, I sold it almost a year ago.

Those 4 reasons can be easily patched. MW2 was plagued with glitches after nearly a week of release and it took IW 10 years to patch the stupid game. Treyarch is already fixing things within the game, the party kicking seems to be fixed as I played all night without having one person get kicked from the party.

I traded mine in to Amazon around March or April and still got $30 for it. Why the hell wouldn't I? Paid for half of Red Dead Redemption

T9X694949d ago

I traded mine in at Gamestop when they had a 50% trade in bonus going on, I got $50 for it. That's a damn good deal right there.

I am still keeping mine...

dredgewalker4949d ago

Someone offered me a used copy of MW2 for $20 but the horrible experience I've had with Activision servers were enough for me to backout. I've been expressing my hate for Activision for a long time and if someone say I'm an anti-Activision troll then I wholeheartedly accept that title.

SuperMassiveGav4949d ago

What Activision servers? I'm pretty sure COD has always been peer-to-peer. If Activision provided servers, that would fix a lot of them problems. But it would take A LOT of servers.

dredgewalker4949d ago

Ooooohhh.....I honestly never knew the difference between a server and a peer-to-peer, to me they're all just servers so I thank you for correcting my assumption.

So you can send the disc through a wood-chipper.

100 reasons why you should...

lovestospoodge4949d ago

and i can give over 9000..no seriously i could..

Perjoss4949d ago

ok, lets not get carried away

visualb4949d ago

I give you 1 example of how you WILL trade in MW2:

You just saw BF:BC2 played before you for the first time and you don't have the money at the moment to get it...

I saw it happen before my eyes with 2 friends =)

chilled2m4949d ago

I do wish the footsteps were more pronounced in the MP. It was great hearing someone sprinting to your position and greeting them with a face-full of lead because you knew exactly where they were coming from. Sound strategy truly did pay off.

Having said that, the other things the guy is talking about will be ironed out in the next few weeks. Millions of people flood the servers every day, and I think Treyarch was a bit unprepared for the volume. (should have done some more comprehensive stress tests on their servers)

The overall experience in MP is still leaps and bounds above MW2 though. I see people actually using variety when it comes to their weapons. I don't feel constantly cheated by quickscoping, one man army noobs running around.

AKissFromDaddy4949d ago

I'm never selling MW2 and in addtion to this list:

5. Horrible graphics
6. Horrible Hit detection
7. Horrible Maps
8. COD Money
9. Horrible Spawning System
10.Underwhelming Kill-streaks
11.Underwhelming Explosions

JLeVRT4948d ago

Get over it... IW isnt THAT bad. They make ONE slightly broken game (multiplayer wise) and you all hate the whole fucking series! Too many fanboys on this damn site... Plus... IW made CoD4. And Treyarch hasnt made ONE game like that since its creation. Face the facts (what used to be) Infinity Ward is better. You can hate the game... But you HAVE to admit it.

mrcash4949d ago

lmao, really footsteps? I can hear people running around and i dont' use headphones. I havent lagged once in black ops,however mw2 was always a lagfest. the pros far outwheigh the cons when it comes to this game. I prefer the sound effects in this game, the guns have more recoil its a bit more "hardcore" if you will. Great game overall.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play Coming During Season 1, Treyarch Handling Development

Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play will be arriving sometime in the middle of Season 1. Treyarch is once again handling development of it.

Kaii240d ago (Edited 240d ago )

I'll bite.
I don't min/max or alter controller schemes anymore because the default options suit me fine aside from aiming sensitivity, which was freakishly low on default.
But the matchmaking system still does that dissemble-reassemble which I hate and knew that my following games after my first overall score would increase In difficulty, i.e. drop shotters (many more examples)

You've got this ranked play but you have this spm scale that throws you against the sweatwall of hell (2 good games>1 bad game)

Swiftly uninstalled and I save 110+gb
