In all honesty the more I play this game the less I want to play this game. I have over 3 days of playing time in, my K/D is 1.75 ( over 8000 kills ) and my accuracy is 20.96, so I am decent at this game.
This game has just turned into such a novelty act that its taken the true challenge of having to actually be good at this game to excel at it. Gone are the days of actually having to have skills actually rack up alot of kills, now its just camp in a corner with a heart beat sensor, run around with akimbo 1887, or get killed due to very very very poor map design that allows to many corners, doors, and vertical buildings. Every other match suffers from lag at some point, the spawn points are just horrible I cant count how many times I have been spawn killed, maps are full of glitches and spots were you just get stuck and cant move, the AR's just dominate every other type of gun in the game, anybody can get a CG or AC130 due to a care package etc etc etc...
I really looked forward to this game, and while I do think its a good game, its already wore out its welcome. With MW I hated the nade fest, martydrom, choppers that took a million bullets to shot down, but I always wanted to play it no matter how much it pissed me off. Now with MW2 I dont have the same feelings, IW just flat out made the multi player appeal to the masses and took out the skill level involved to excel in this game.
IW is going to patch some things soon ( they have not stated what they are ) and maybe that will help but I doubt it. Will I still play this game?? The answer is yes, but only in small doses.
Side note: I was sniping on rundown today ( finally got the fall camo for the WA2000 ) and I got killed 3 times in a row by a guy using akimbo rangers, with marathon, lightweight, commando combo ( two of the kills were spawn kills as the fantastic spawn system kept putting me right in front of him ) on the 4th spawn I switched to my striker and killed him, I took his ranger and he kept coming after me, long story short I killed the guy 4 times in a row with his own guns ( got the mmmm brains title for killing him with both barrels of the ranger ) and as much as this game pissed me off today, that made my day and has to be one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had in a MW game.
I know use this icon as a trophy...
