Meh do not support the BS IF pulled with PC. I would honestly say not to get it at all, though it would be hypocritical of me since I ended up with a ps3 version myself. ( xmas present, I could have returned it but didnt )

But honestly, KZ2 and MAG are both a lot better.

I can honestly say after playing it, that MW2 is a better rent than an own.

IWnet barely works on consoles, on PC it would be just terrible. Its such an inferior system its hard to concisely describe.

Seriously Barozi, go ahead and act like big man on campus as much as you want, but I'm not going to sit here in a petty argument with you. FPS is horrible on dual-analog compared to mouse and keyboard and if you disagree, well, more power to you. Learning how to play in such an incredibly roundabout and screwed up way is commendable, especially when there's a way better option available right in front of you.

I can tell you right now that if they ever made a FPS which had crossplatform online play, any and all dual analog players would quit within a week. Quote me on it.

Oh please, even my 9 year old sister can aim in MW2 with my PS3 controller. Aiming in COD games has always been very very easy.

 

The truth is, mouse and keyboard are for noobs who have very little skills with aiming.It takes real skil to play FPS with a controller. PC gamers should play MW2 on PC and than go play Killzone 2 on PS3. I can assure you they're gonna get pwned hard.

This may well be the worst thing I have ever seen in writing.

Of course that's going to happen, but the exact same is true - Have someone play Killzone 2 on PS3 for a year and then have them switch to PC and they would get equally owned. ... What the hell was your point here?

@bolded

funny how you asked the same question that im going to ask you regarding the red.

 

MW2 on PC is a piece of crap, like it or not its not a good game, and Modern Warfare always had the most noobish aiming in an FPS (it seriously have this auto aim thing in it). so playing it with even one hand while the other is covering your eyes is going to be easy.

... What? Did you even read his post? He said that if someone plays PC and then switches to dual analog he'll suck, and I said the opposite is true and you want to go "what the hell is your point"?

= ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

lol it's not like I never played a FPS online with my PC using a 360 controller.

and I still end up in the Top 5 after every round (Team Fortress 2)

Probably by playing an Engineer. Let's see how you fare in UT or Quake, or hell, CSS. Dual analog is a laughably bad and limiting control mechanic for FPS.

Also the PC version is NOT cheaper, it's $60. So I say "fuck you" IW/Activision, pirate the game, install the hack that lets you play on IWNet and all official servers, and flick off Activision/IW. That's how a normal person should approach MW2, maybe they will learn not to fuck with PC versions next time. Also if you feel too terrible, send them a $10 check, which is about what this game is worth on the PC.

I play Demoman and Soldier in the first place and a bit Heavy when I feel like it.

My point still stands. An experienced dual analog player can easily compete with an average PC gamer.

I never said that dual analog is superior to keyboard and mouse or anything like that.

because you are both WRONG!!

if ANYONE got used to something and then suddenly switched to something else they would get owned regardless of what they started on. its not like if you are skilled on PC that you are the king of every controller. thats WRONG so "what the hell was your point here? "

controls aside, I'd get the PS3 version if I were you, especially if you have a friend to play with, and I suppose that with more players on the PS3 your lobbies will fill up quicker



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

The funniest thing about this is that when I was first writing my response the Demoman and the Soldier were the first to pp into my head. Didn't realize about the Engineer until after I had dissed IW.

Try one of the classes which take a little more activity, like the Scut or the Pyro. Deficiencies in the dual analog set up will be quite apparent with the scout.

However I do agree, an experienced player can compete with an average PC player, but probably not so much against an experienced PC player.

Now a post on topic:

This is why you shouldn't buy MW2 on the PC (preferably you won't buy it at all):

Agreed.

About the Scout part: That's true, but even with keyboard and mouse I never play Scout. I just don't like him.
