The game itself is good; the shooting is very fun and the amount of online options are great. But the developers really fucked up while designing the maps. Many of them are camping heaven. Battlefield on the other hand, suffers from a shortage of players. The beta map is quite big for the amount of players, and the map design isn't that great. I only had fun in the town itself, but absolutely hated the bridge and russian stronghold. Also, I hated the fact that some rifles recoil far too much for my taste. MW2 could have beaten KZ2 as my favorite multiplayer expirience, but sadly, camping has prevented that from happening. |
News flash: camping happens on ALL MULTI PLAYER SHOOTERS. I don't care what game it is, this goes on in all of them. Sometimes you get into an entertaining and challenging server, and sometimes you can't seem to find one game where everyone isn't sniping or camping and waiting for you to run by so they can knife you. This is in no way unique to MW2, and you absolutely cannot call it a bad game because people camp. That is like calling all mutli player shooters before it crap games too.
Also, if you are camping in MW2, it probably means you're dying a lot. If you are in a server with a lot of skilled players, you're usually afraid to move for fear of instantly dying. Most of the popular camping spots still have multiple open angles for people to kill you from. If you are frustrated by campers, it's probably because they're killing you a lot. Which means you're getting killed by some of the shittiest players out there. The guys that camp have no other option but to sit there and wait for someone to run by. And, by the way, there is a BIG difference between a camper and a really skilled sniper. Sorry to go off on you for this, but I have been playing online shooters for years, my favorite series being the Battlefield series. Battlefield 2 on the PC gave me some of the best multi player experiences I have ever had. But it had campers too. So did Quake. So did CounterStrike. So did Enemy Territory.
MW2 is a successful game because it rewards you a lot for what you do. Any fool can put in all the hours and rank up to level 70. HOWEVER, if you actually become SKILLED at the game, there is a whole lot of stuff to unlock and the process of getting that stuff is an absolute blast. And while I don't like the WWII titles in the CoD series (with the exception of maybe CoD2), the 2 Modern Warfare games have amazing single player campaigns too.
I agree with you, BTW. Killzone 2 is awesome.
