Anybody Second Guessing a MW2 Purchase?

I know I am.  And believe me, I was as hyped up as anyone a few months ago, but as time goes on and more info is released about MW2, the less and less I'm getting excited for this game.  MW2 is becoming something totally different than what COD4 was and that's disappointing.  These are some of the things that are bugging me:

 

Throwing knives - Really not necessary and too gimicky imo.

 

4 kill streak (supply drop) - Imo, all this supports is spraying and praying unlike COD4, where bullet conservation was necessary.  Not to mention, you can possibly get an advanced kill streak reward out of it.  What happened to the days where you EARNED your killstreak rewards?

 

Automated Sentry Guns - IW are you SERIOUS? Really!  Lame- Enough said!

 

Death Streaks - Ok, you're scrubbish.  Now IW is rewarding you for your lack of skill.  I don't have an issue with the Copycat perk, because I see it as useless.  Although rewarding a low ranked player with possibly a high ranked setup is not fair.  The Painkiller perk sucks though, 10 extra seconds of health?  Come on IW, remember it's supposed to be about rewarding the good players, not the bad ones.  From the Games Radar link:

 

"After three consecutive deaths with no kills, players are awarded a little bonus of their choice (assuming they've unlocked all of them). The default bonus is Copycat, which allows a player to steal his killer's class for one round, and get a taste of the weapons and perks of a more advanced player. The next one unlocked, and the last one we saw, is Painkiller, which affords players 10 seconds of extra health after they respawn - great for when you're being spawn camped."

 

Blood Splattter - Huge droplets of blood on your screen that makes it so you can't see sh**, again enough said!

 

Silenced Shotguns  - A huge disappointment.  Silenced snipers I don't mind, but silenced shotties is something that shouldn't be there. 

 

Dual Wielding - I don't know how this can belong in a COD game.  So far you'll be able to dual-wield pistols and smgs, but I wouldn't be surprised if dual-wielding lmgs were in the game too.  If IW is going to go silly, they might as well go all the way right?   Another gimmick imo.

 

Spawn Sticks - If it's 1 thing KZ2 taught us, it's that spawn grenades shouldn't be in mp.  Big mistake IW, big mistake. 

 

Now, I might be alone here or I might not be but there are a ton of games coming to the PS3 this holiday and I'm seriously considering leaving this one behind, or at least just rent it instead and cancel my preorder.  Your thoughts?

probably now you have a good reason why they named it "Modern Warefare 2"

Re: Anybody Second Guessing a MW2 Purchase?

Nope, my chips are all in on this one......those lil' cheap perks for the folks who die means nothing, remember "THEY SUCK".  So with that said I will keep my pre-order.  Loving most of what I have seen, some will be questionable...just gonna be a lil' more of a learning curve.

Remember COD games have always been noob friendly, but you're right it's outta hand now.

Re: Anybody Second Guessing a MW2 Purchase?

I know I almost feel the same way. The thing is that there making this game so noob friendly... It's irritating. See games like M.A.G. which are mainly noob free, are amazing, great tactical skills everything flows. Here it's power to the noob.  Stupid and irritating. But I still need to get this game. That type of power Activision has over us, they make it look so good with such bad things. Really after MW2 and RB3 this is my last Activision game.

Re: Anybody Second Guessing a MW2 Purchase?

Why is everyone complaining that it's noob-friendly? Obviously it is, but shouldn't that make it easier for you? Last time I checked, everyone talks trash on CoD4 whether you win or lose. So it's not bragging rights you want. Does it make you feel better to kill a "better" player rather than one who just started/isn't quite up to your caliber of playing-skill?

Re: Anybody Second Guessing a MW2 Purchase?

I kinda posted this in another thread but i'll say it again.... Everything new in this game is either fan created or taken from other games only thing is they lumped it into the COD series and everyone is so in shock and awe about it... I honestly don't want to buy this game but since all my old skool friends will be playing it I almost feel obligated to own it... This game isn't innovated at all I've seen and heard everything about this game even before they releasesd the info....
