So can you better explain what this zombies mode in Havoc DLC is? Is it what Xbox has had for a while? It's a whole co-op campaign, right?

Sadly, it's only a single map for now. If you have the basics of Zombies gameplay down, Spoonman laid out strategies and sound opinions a few pages back.

You and zombies have exo suits and jump around everywhere. It's a fun novelty, but it does wear off after multiple runs when you aren't seeing any improvement. You play until you lose.

Can you imagine if they left the weapon balance as-is? MW2 would be populated 24/7 with pubbies just going ape-poo poo. :supaburn:

MW2's weapon balance is still far better then AW's.

Maybe tweaking OMA slightly so it doesn't refill noob tubes would make a big difference.

"Better" isn't the word I would choose. "More fun"? Certainly. But it was never balanced; everything was a one-upsmanship of insanity. :getin:

Actually my favorite thing to do was hush in the weeds by C flag and throw C4 on it. I'd just lay there until I heard someone was capping, blow them up, then stroll over to their corpses and collect more C4 with scav. Rinse and repeat.

Removing stopping power is the reason why people complain about stealth perks being OP. The only thing you need to do to MW2 is nerf One Man Army and make Danger Close only affect killstreaks.


Also it would take 50 manure dump trucks for MW2 to roll around in to be anywhere close to resembling Black Ops.

Danger close/scav plus RPGs was the best fun thing about MW2. Especially Sub Base B.
Take that away and you might as well not bother.

Except stealth perks in MW2 weren't OP, they were merely competitive with everything else. Changing a SCAR from a two hit kill to three won't change that.

The tier 2 perks were competitive because of Stopping Power. Cold-Blooded Pro counters a lot of stuff in MW2, everybody would run it if Stopping Power was taken out. It would slow the game down immensely.

A great ride that requires finesse and effort to get the best out of it.

Oh man, I'd love to play MW2 as it was originally. Jav glitching was the best :3:

Also OMA danger close, tac inserting onto the roof in Terminal, LMG wallbanging...

Don't forget the Santa Claus glitch; infinite care packages. :woop:

And Hardline is more than good enough to keep up with Cold Blooded.
Or Lightweight Bladerunner builds. :ese:

I didn't need Stopping Power in the last five games, I don't need it in MW2; and Cold Blooded Pro isn't anywhere close to being as good as the MW3 version (Assassin Pro).

This. As hosed up as MW2 was even through all the glitches (care package knifing being the most fun and infinite care packages being the worst) it was the most fun game for me. And based on the SA Call Of Duty threads I'd say a lot of goons would agree. Some days you couldn't read the thread and play the game, the thread was that active. There were 5 or 6 crews that played every night that I knew of and I didn't even post here until then. Some crews had been together since MW1. It sucks to see those guys (like Promoted Pawn and even SA Rei) drop but I can't blame them. And this version of Duty which should be thriving as its on a newer more powerful console gets what, 15 posts or less a day here?

The best was on the rare occasions when 2 goon groups would get matched together randomly.

I've picked up the game and have been playing but there's not really anything to say about multiplayer. I haven't played in years and it's the same thing. I enjoy it in short bursts though.

We had a pretty awesome riot shields only gun game in MW3 with an insane amount of people like that as well.

New CoD is announced around May so we'll probably be hearing speculation/leaks soon. Anyway, SH added :siren:15 :siren: more presiges to this game. Honestly, I haven't really played this game much recently. Been busy and it's not all that much fun to play this solo. Maybe if they ever get around to tuning the bad weapon balance in this game I'll check back in and try out the other guns because I'm bored of using/being killed by the ASM1 and BAL.

I am just getting into this but haven't played since MW2, what is the big deal about prestiges? What do they do? Back then just one prestige was for super spergs that had already finished everything there was to do. Now I'm like level 20 after two hours, what the gently caress is the point?
