Actually, I think both sucked. I played MW2 for 5 hours or so with my brother, and was overwhelmed by the amount of camping going on. Seriously, it was just horrible. 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.

Yeah, I know camping happens in all online shooters, but i had never played a game in which for 10 consecutive games, there were moments in which I couldn't go anywhere because someone would kill me through a really small opening, again and again. I have no doubt a skilled player will masacre campers, but the purpose of games is to entertain EVERYONE. New players, skilled players etc. MW2, for the time being doesn't allow that. It is an extremely frustrating expirience to beginers.
I have played Killzone 2 a lot, Resistance 2, MGO, UC2, etc. and I never complained about camping in those games. Yes, sometimes you get spawn camped in KZ2 and MGO, but it doesn't ruin the expirience at all.
The thing is, in MW2 you die very quickly, grenade tossing sucks, and some maps have a really poor design.
Anyways, I don't know why I keep getting called for giving my opinion about this, actually many other people think like me.

That's because of the poor match-making system this game has .. example: a level 2 vs a level 8. no chance for that beginner there .
I'm a big fan of COD and the best of all for me is still COD4 its seems the that the newer versions of COD series are distancing away from being hardcore and being more accessible for the mainstream, anybody can now rack up kills in some way or another.
Its so easy to snipe in MW2 and easer if using a thermal scope, assault rifles don't recoil as much like in COD4, is like you have it in auto steady aim even if you don't use that perk and when using the steady aim perk the weapons don't even flinch .
Want to rack up kills use commando pro + marathon pro + lightweight pro and you will be a Rambo on steroids, you'd be knifing ppl from 30 feet away while being shot at ...lol after that your in a killing streak.
I not saying MW2 is a bad game in anyway is just easer ( for me ) to get kills and into killing streak, unlike COD4 it takes the most of skilled gamers to get the most kills.
To bad IW stopped supporting COD4, this game just needed to add more maps and if possible weapons upgrades it would've still be fighting for 1st place againts Halo 3 of most played on XBOX Live..
Call of Duty 4 is still going strong on Live according to Mayor Nelson ..
Xbox 360 Top LIVE Titles
