I think my Xbox and my PS3 are cursed. I always have bad luck playing MW2.

It seems like every time I'm having a crap match it goes on until I get tired of being shot or my team loses, however; when I'm on a 25+ kill streak and still haven't used my kill streak rewards the game either crashes (yes the console version does crash on PS3) or the host quits then the connection to the server times out before host migration is complete.

On other occasions I will kill 2 or 3 players with a single magazine. I will wait for a few seconds and nobody will come, as soon as I hit reload the glass roof shatters, ropes drop in all around me and the the entire enemy team repels down and turns my player into ground beef. In the same situation if I reload right away, a forth and fifth enemy player will follow the three I just killed, moving me down with tears of joy as they laugh at any attempt to switch to my secondary. This also seems to be the case when I want to get my care package. If I hold on to it nobody except camper noobs or heartbeat sensor noobs will kill me in my search for a good spot to have it dropped, but as soon as throw the marker down, five people knife me.

I'm loving the spawn system. I seems that anytime I want to be sneaky with all silenced weapons, ninja pro, and cold blooded pro on, my whole team manages to spawn 2 feet from me just so that I can get hit by a AC-130 or predator missile. On other occasions I spawn on my team who is already being shoot at just to get killed in less than 2. At least on BF2 I knew it was coming if my team was down to one flag.

Another thing I'm loving is how the kill cams seem to show the other guy stabbing or shooting nothing but the air and killing me. Are the hit boxes really that freaking huge?

Anyone else feel this way?

It happens. You just gotta play it out. Switch to secondary, move to cover, reload. Easy tactics like that can save you a lot. Hitboxes can be really screwy with the games animations. Not only do the players' 3D models move strangely but they tend to jerk around when switching different actions, so to speak. Seems like I'm always the target of 90% of predator missiles if I don't have CB on, even if there's a group of like 3 people who I separate from (and sometimes don't since a lot of people are retarded and just bunch together, block doors, etc.)

I thought I was the only one.  Glad somebody shares my experience.

Same thing when I decide to move.  I'll sit in a spot for 3-5 seconds, decide to move, and right around the corner I'm greeted by either a) lightweight commando melee button masher or b) a squad of enemy soldiers.  Also, where is the autobalance?  Seriously, it's defeating when you're stuck on a team of low level players against a team of 10th prestige level 70s.  

And the spawn system...what POS that is.  Seriously, IW needs to go back to drawing board with that one.  It's just terrible, absolutely no logic/proper placement.

Sabotage or SnD. With Sab the teams seem to consistantly spawn and opposite ends of the map, even in the middle of the match, and everyone knows how SnD works.

Only modes I can stand anymore.

Bullets follow you after corners: its called leading your target and shooting. bullets go thru walls if you small brain hasnt figured that out.

enemies spawning on your arse:  thats true to a certain point. to minimize that, heres a friendly tip. watch your radar every few seconds. thats why its there fore genius.


Most MW1 players are run and gun noobs.. looks like those noobs are getting a reality check in MW2.

No, idiot, its called hitbox lag. If you watch the fucking killcams you'd see that the dude who killed you didn't even shoot at the wall. Too blind to notice that?

Watch my radar? Although the people who play this game are almost all dumb asses; they're not still not dumb enough to shoot randomly as soon as they spawn to give out the position as you might want to believe. Along with that, If you watch your radar instead of getting cover when getting shot, you're just dumb.

You last sentence just made me want to unscrew your head off then play football with it.. Seriously, just shut up.

The shooting threw walls thing is also something I think was overdone. Its nice to shoot threw things like wood or even a few walls inside of buildings. It gets ridiculous when people are shooting threw cars, dumpsters, and external walls that are usually made of concrete or brick. Hell Ive shoot at most of these things in real life and only one gun on the game should even be capable of that. Now for balance sake I could understand all sniper rifles being able to do that but not every single assault rifle. So what does that mean for all of us that like to run and gun? It means this game rewards campers. The campers find a good spot, start a fire break out the marsh mellows get their ten set up and just sit back and wait for people to run into their bullets because that's the only way bitch ass campers can get any kills. You see someone for a split second, take damage, attempt to take cover and die because the bullets on MW2 can shoot threw 10 feet of solid steel and everything is made of paper except roof tops that gladly hold you care packages.

Another complaint I have (just venting from frustration) is how much sniper rifles sway when looking threw the sights. You put an ACOG on an assault rifle and its perfectly steady at any range while blasting full auto and walking. You put an ACOG on any sniper rifle and its seems to sway all over the place even while you are still prone. This also also applies to the javelin. On the subject of the javelin there are maybe 4 maps that this weapon can even be fired on. I don't understand why you have to be so far away to lock something. If I want to lock a target 1 foot from my face I should be able too. Its not like its going to be a surprise if I do that the missile will be coming down soon. I guess what I want is the ability to launch javelins from a closer range without that stupid sway motion, that and I want grenade launchers to detonate closer. They never seem to go off when I fire them. They just bounce off the wall or the player and I get massacred.

Another problem with this is no fire cancel. If you are sprinting or crawling in last stand, hitting the fire button does nothing. Why cant I fire my gun or look down the sights while crawling in last stand I will never understand. This isn't Saving Private Ryan and we aren't using Tom Hanks.

PS:MW1 was a way better game for its time than MW2 which is very broken, not as bad as GoW2 but it has already been patched like 7 times, the leader boards are a mess, and the host system is total crap even on console. I can only imagine how much worse it gets on PC.
