Don't you just hate people that try to ruin the fun of others who genuinely enjoy the game? If you hate the game, fine, but stfu about it already. There's obviously a hell of a lot of people who enjoy playing it.

Erm... I'm pretty sure he already said he hates the game and it's bullcrap and he's glad that he got banned?

I don't know how IW do it exactly, but you'll probably find the detection -> ban delay is intentional. It's to make it more difficult to know what caused the ban (i.e. it doesn't detect and ban instantly. It intentionally obfuscates the timing)

In a way I am glad because it made me go to the older CoDs and I have learnt new things. It isnt the worst game in the world, but my 'hate' for it was all wrong, I was a noob to the game back then. I have learnt better now.

I will probably re-buy this game sometime.

thanks

True.. Sucks I got banned though. Maybe an ingame admin banned me (not server host, a steam admin) because I did get called a hacker alot because of shadows and guns sticking out.

Not discussed since the start but...

This is the general idea of a reward and u can't say it's unfair cus they also have deathstreak rewards, which I know someone will say that they aren't as good as the ac130 etc but you bad players should be thankful that u have some thing that "picks u up when things aren't going your way!" and just play the game

Deathsreaks were the dumbest things added to the game. Basically, here's what an IW higher-up said, I'm totally not kidding:

"Well I found that when playing Call of Duty, I tended to die A LOT, so I got the programmers to put in deathstreaks so players like me can finally have some hope of winning".

Which means we get incredibly dumb and annoying things like Painkiller and Final Stand.

Deathstreaks are there to help people who die a lot, and I don't see a problem with it. It's not like the deathstreak is a free AC130, it's only, at most, an extra boost of health for 10 seconds, or lying prone for like 30 seconds after being shot to death so you can get back up again. When someone has painkiller or final stand, it only takes a couple of extra shots to finish them off - heck, it takes one single bullet to kill someone on final stand.

It's not as if everyone in the game is dying 3-4 times in a row either, it's not something you encounter that often. And even if you miss a kill because of painkiller, it's only one death, and it means they're off the deathstreak.

Yeah, deathstreaks were a stroke of genius IMO. I was even more happy when i realised they had made martydorm a deathstreak

Amazingly I managed to buy a new copy of the game. I am trying to install it now.
I deleted the WHOLE steam folder off my PC so that any mods that were there are now gone. And I got a new account. If you want to add me it is:

slitherous_snake

I backed up my savegames and stats though. Maybe I can transfer them to the new account. (Copied the .stat files and savegames from 'players' folder). I guess this game is too good to miss out on, ignoring my whining from the start of this post.

I will probably be playing it in like 45mins from now

thanks

Woot! 2 more major bugs!:

Bug 1: I was waiting in a lobby that the game took about 30mins to find, and suddenly about 10secs before the map was due to start, i get a steam update message pop up, and it alt+tabs me out of the game. I quickly close it and go back ingame. When I do, I get spammed with 'Unable to connect to host' messages, and eventually I am unable to join any game. This caused BOTH my modem and router to crash. (they weren't cheap ones either!).

Bug 2: I had a class with One Man Army, and I decided to swap classes after planting 2 claymores. When it was about half way through the swap, host migration occurred. After the migration, I was stuck with the One Man Army bag thing and I had absolutely no weapons that I could use, except for melee (which is very unusable without any perks due to footsteps, etc). And there were no guns nearby to swap it with.

this 1ma glitch was very funny at first, but got annoying when I was killed by someone with their fancy AK47 lol.

thanks

Who cares about those bugs though, even though from a developers point of view they should be fixed, both would rarely occur.

nope....... it happened to me again. apparently even if the 1MA menu is out it will still give this bug. REALLY annoying, especially in SnD.

just pointing out a wrong in thread name
Quote: "Call of Duty 6 - Modern Warfare 2"

it is acually Call of duty 4 - Modern warfare 2
since it is a sequel to CoD4 MW2, not a followup from CoD 5

also on topic: Dedicated servers might be needed, thought the only problem i see with the system they have now is u cant browse the servers available

other than that i have noticed NO problems with this game

Clearly Acer developed the game

But OP, you do seem to be a chronic complainer. You get banned, you re-buy the game, you find bugs, you complain you can't play, your laptop breaks, you can't log into steam etc.

Does it ever end?

And have you considered that your malware infection has returned and is affecting things?

Laughed abit.

Deathstreaks are irratating, but id rather them, than juggernaught, matrydom, last stand-Cod 5 revive. Copy class is quite nice, an interestng niche for noobs to taste the higher ranked classes.

Games cannot be completly balanced, that would defeat the point of create a class and the customisabilty. Every weapon in that set would be equal and so be the same and utterly useless in unlocking. Team fortress class's or halo sre the two endings for balace. Pure skill and equivlent trade off scout/heavy. Each holds no customisabilty that affects gameplay.

Glitches and hacks will persists like crabs. You cant simply shave off the cheaters as new accounts will be made and will eventually return. You need to prevent them. Or in some cases adapt after their found, treat them with updates and kill off the root causes as they appear by patching up flaws and applying it as needed.

As for the level 10th pres' hacks. Who cares? they cant play the game properly which is obvious, so wipe the floor with them and call them pathetic. Rank is nothing compared with a little skill. Which in near enough all cases ive came across is true. (two people were banned so 10th pres hack'd to regain thier ranks- abuse led them to be banned)

I wrote so much since this keeps on going lol. Thats COD MW2 boxed off.

yes i know, but the 4 isnt there, since it is unnecessary, but since it is a sequel to the 4th game it cant really be called CoD 6 can it?

true so true, at level 1 i did pretty nice imho, i did barely notice people had better ranks than me, i only noticed airstrikes and people having other guns //iam lvl 16 and i still stick to M4\\ which isnt really better then the first guns, also the speciall killstreak tthings and special abilities is very balanced tbh.

Nope, it can't. And it's not, I can't stand it being called CoD6, I generally just call it Modern Warfare 2.

New bug: I was playing 'No Russian' (i had to restart the campaign) and when I got shot and the message 'You are hurt. Move to cover' came up, it never went away and my health didn't regenerate. I got a video of this. It is very annoying because when I am hurt the game will not save and it is impossible to complete the mission.

thanks

@GamerDude: Why are you telling us what bugs you have? Do you think we can fix them for you? And why do you even play if it causes so much frustration for you? That's why I buy 360 games now over PC games, they are much more stable and reliable, and seem to have more and faster support than PC. I don't hate Modern Warfare 2, but I think it's a frustrating and semi-broken game, so I just don't play it anymore, I don't know why others don't do the same (all of my roommates play and are constantly yelling at the TV, I don't understand what they get out of playing other than anger and frustration).

it's addictive . the most awesome thing happened yesterday in a HC SND game.

Class:
Primary: Mini Uzi Silenced
Secondary: M9 Tactical Knife
Equipment: Throwing Knife
Special Grenade: Flash Grenade
Perk 1: Marathon Pro
Perk 2: Lightweight Pro
Perk 3: Ninja Pro

I managed to achieve a tactical nuke in SnD by sneaking around knifing and uziing (6 vs 6). Too hard to explain, but it is possible.

thanks

Here's a class to try for excrements and giggles, even though I don't play this anymore. I read this on a forum:

Primary: Assault rifle with noob tube, preferably ACR to be annoying
Secondary: RPG-7
Equipment: Semtex
Special: Whatever
Perk 1: Scav Pro
Perk 2: Danger Close Pro
Perk 3: Scrambler (just to be super annoying)

RPG-7 is a russian pocket nuke.

Now steam has failed...... it logs in and i try to go online, but it just refuses to go online. I am not vac banned on my new account with my new mw2 on it, but this is just ridiculous. Tried to google for help, but all i find is crap about someone not being able to go offline. Steam and IWNet must be closely related (they both fail), because of what I am experiencing. And there are bugs with me hosting, 1 round = people play fine and have <100 ping, next round from start onwards their ping goes bad and they lag out.
