Top 100 things that NEED to change in MW2

[SarZ]

Let's make a list of things that really need to change in the game, either due to overpoweredness or due to glitches.
I'll start with my first few things I would like to see changed:

#1. Fix the realistic range on shotguns. At the moment one (or more) shotgun(s) do an insane amount of damage and are way too accurate from a too long distance.
#2. Fix the speed glitch. Marathon and lightweight is already overpowered, but with the air-drop glitch it's totally insane.
#3. Either fix the killcams, or fix the aim of guns. Too often you see the "game winning kill" where the person TOTALLY misses the target, but the target drops dead anyway. This is either because the game helps everyone auto-aim (left over from porting from the console to the PC) or the killcams just suck.
#4. While falling, the aim is too accurate. If you fall from a 20 feet building, or just drop on the ground while running, you can aim too well. For a 'realistic' game it's kinda pathetic that you can run, aim, fire, dive to crawl on the ground WHILE YOU KEEP FIRING WITH DEADLY ACCURACY.

And then I have a few more, not gameplay related, but game related:
#5. Ban the hackers. I hope the ban hammer comes tomorrow, as today I saw way too many hackers again.
#6. Give us dedicated servers
#7. If I auto-search for a party, about 4-6 out of 10 games I want to join are aborted because of:
- game lobby closed
- could not connect to host
- server is full
Seriously, it's already bad enough that I cannot pick the servers I want to play on, but if you really want it automated, then automate those messages too. I don't care WHY I was rejected, I just want to play. Connect me !

Feel free to add more glitches or adjustments you want to see in the game.

The Marathon + Lightweight PRO + Care package marker is INSANE. Omg on Favela it is deadly. I hope they keep it in the game because it's so much fun lol.

[powerbits]

only one thing: increase number of players > 18 so that bigger partys can work together

Improove IW.net in its working

The game itself; its all good

[peeta123]

fixing this will make alot of people happy (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12262117&postcount=16)

1. REALISTIC shotguns have ranges of about 200meters....
2. it's balanced since you give up any ability to shoot, you have to obtain it first, you give up the ability to use a tactical knife which can kill you in lots of situations. it will likely stay like CoD4s bugs that are ingame even now. (40-20 AK bug, M21&P90 sprint bug)
3. killcams just suck
4. it's not a realistic game, it's an arcade shooter
5. vac bans delayed, all those aimbotters and wallhackers thinking theyre safe already got a mark on their account with doom hovering over their heads
6. /agree, but unlikely to happen
7. /agree

[Deez.Nuts]

The game is not realistic at all.

If you want realism play Arma or Flashpoint, or join the army.

[Ayva]

If this game were any arcadier your character would move by itself and all you'd be able to do is shoot whatever comes up on the screen with a bright red lightgun.

[ahmoudy]

Intervention sucks on non-HC. You can't get a kill without tagging the guy 3-4 times.

should really be 1sk, as there would be no point to it on non-HC playlists.

lol dude I'm sorry but you might have to give up sniping.

[peeta123]

they need to add a chat for the game lobby

[ShadowMan]

I'd say leave the shotguns alone. COD shotguns never had any range, about 15 game "feet" before the projectiles disintegrates. If not, it needs more range to at least give it a realistic feel.

[B.C.]

Can we please get rid of the tactical nuke?

[ShadowMan]

Yep, I had noticed an insane amount of cheaters/hackers doing what they do just for the Nuke.

[=A82A=WhataMack]

Since when have "tactical" nukes been any part of "modern warfare"? In all practicality they don't exist, so they shouldn't be here. The U.S. gave up on tactical battlefield nukes back in the early 1960's.

MW2 has come closer to an MMORPG than it is to a somewhat-realistc squad-based shooter. I mean, L4D is goofy but it fits the subject matter really well. MW2 could have been great, and could have included a semi-serious game type to complement the arcade game types it has, but it was just an effort in laziness...put the least amount of effort in just to make it different enough from its predecessor so that you can charge for it.

Anyway, if they just would gave the OPTION for dedicated servers, even if they rented them out just like all the existing game server rental companies, that'd be fine. I don't care who gets the monthly rental fee, as long as the option is there for people who want to take advantage of it.

/agree? with you apart from the blatantly stupid bit about shotguns having a "range" of 200 meters, maybe if you aim the gun at a 45 degree angle a couple of shots will land a few hundred feet away but theres no way in hell a shotgun can hit something effectively @ 200 meters.

[Ayva]

No dude nuking a battlefield because your 6 guys are losing against the enemy's 6 guys is totally realistic.

I'm on the console and games end with a nuke all the time.

If a guy gets gets a chopper gunner (usually with the aid of hardline), then you can pretty much call the game right there.

Are people a bit on the slow side on consoles or something? There are tons of things you can do to counter the chopper gunner. Haven't seen one result in a nuke yet.

Not when the game keeps spawning the entire team in the same spot over and over again.

Even if rockets are being shot at you, it's still pretty damn easy to get 10+ kills.

Watch the killcam fully. 5 seconds of the chopper gunner wasted.

Switch to a loadout with cold blooded.

If you can, run for the thickest cover and camp.

It isn't that hard.

Seriously when I get the chopper gunner on a full game, I only see very few people around at a time (by comparison, the screen lights up like a christmas tree when I use a predator missile during the same match). People know what they are doing.

I was just in a game with cold blooded. Whole team was shooting at the chopper with whatever they had. The match was still over in under four minutes thanks to a tactical nuke.

To me, the tactical nuke is no different then the guys on COD4 who'd make themselves invincible and fly around the map knifing people the entire game.

[Ayva]

Yeah I guess it's just people being really slow.

You don't kill a chopper gunner unless you have CB + Stinger/Javelin. You hide, then light a cigarette, pour yourself a drink or go to the toilet until it's over.

[Justin K.]

Fix IWNet. Add dedicated servers. That's all I want.

[SouthPark0r]

@ your point 3 .. the killcams ..

dude thats normal u idiot..

its caz of hitboxes to latency ..

[mltdwn]

Have to say need dedicated server. Ok I admit I only got the game on Wednesday, but OMG the complete and utter lack of people even attempting to go after the goals on goal orientated maps (such as domination), attempt to work together, or use voice chat is insane. At least with dedicated servers you generally get the same consistancy of players (and usually the same players) so that games tend to be a lot better than these random PUGs.

Usually it boils down to one team having a couple of clan-mates, or just good players while the other just runs around acting like it's team deathmatch instead of Domination or Destruction. So PLEASE give us our dedis back so we can at least decide who and what type of player we want to play with.

NOTE: I am a casual gamer, I play casually and actually dislike playing in games with clans as I feel they take the game to seriously so this isn't elitism. I don't care if people suck, but I want them to at least try rather than simply trying to focus on getting the uber KtD of the match.

[THE Nakedgun]

Killcam must be server side not client side so it can have a difference in what you see to what the server saw I expect the bigger the difference means the bigger the ping?

Hapepens in CS:S and hL2DM hits looking like misses and vice versa when viewing in spectate.

[Rhodsie]

1. REALISTIC shotguns have ranges of about 200meters....

The effective range for a rifled slug is about 100 yards +- 25.

Like many posters have stated, this isn't a realistic game. Even "tactical shooters" usually portray shotguns in a very unrealistic manner. Modern body armor would not be scratched by buckshot. This means every time that guy hits you point blank in the chest with akimbo rangers/1887s your body armor should completely stop it. However, most gamers see shotguns as powerful so game designers make them that way. If this game had realistic shotguns no one would use them.

[MaianTrey]

It may have been suggested, but I would love to have the ability to split a lobby across teams. Right now, I can't play with more than 5 friends as we don't wanna do ground war (where half the matches are TDM) and we don't want to do a private match. If we could get like 10 people in a party, split it so it's 5v5, and then fill the last 2 with random people and still play ranked matches, I would enjoy this game so much more.

[krameriffic]

I really hope they don't nerf the 1887 range and the care package super speed. I LOVE being incessantly called a hacker when I am doing nothing more than exploiting a hilarious bug. The most fun I had in TF2 was after the spy update with all of the bugged mechanics (invisible taunt killing, ♥♥♥♥ed up ambassador hitboxes). All it does is appease the whiny ♥♥♥♥♥es who can't take someone using an ostensibly mildly overpowered ability.

I do hope they nerf it, OR give dedicated servers. On a dedicated server those guns would probably have been banned. Yes, it's fun (most likely) for an hour, but after that you want to go back to normal gameplay. So, on the other hand, other servers would be made specifically for those guns.
So with normal servers, you and I can both play the way we want to :-)

And something else I would like to see changed: noob-tubers. It's already annoying enough to see someone use a grenade attachment on this primary, but they also use a grenade secondary ? Come on ..
On top of that, with scavenger they can do this forever. I'm not suggesting to change the damage or so of the grenade launchers, but perhaps exclude the use of both at the same time ? (Unless you pick it up from the ground.)

[GeForceFX]

Its an arcade game, if u want realism go play arma, flash point or wait for bad company.

[Fudgeblood]

For a 'realistic' game it's kinda pathetic that you can run, aim, fire, dive to crawl on the ground WHILE YOU KEEP FIRING WITH DEADLY ACCURACY. Stopped reading right there.

When has any Call of Duty game EVER meant to be realistic?

[SarZ]

I don't know, since when do you know what games I played in the past ? If I compare that specific element of the game with for example DoD, then I find the game lacking in that department.

And second, I placed 'realistic' in those ''. I used those '' for a reason.

lol same.

Used speedhax yesterday, got called a cheater in 4 games.

[cico34]

Knife tactics.
SERIOUSLY! Spamming your automated shotgun on someone, just to get his knife to you face is far from realistic.
Dont know the name, but the second shotgun is underpowered in most cases.

[mama's boy]

as 4 me, everything is great but one thing - gimme ACR or AK on prestige mode at least from 20-th lvl, couse i hate all other weapons! :D

[nebenschwein1]

[xMaffish]

I'm a little bit confused with shotguns. I tried Ranger, and can't say that its range is too big/. I stood in front of the wall, less than 10 meters, fired and the wall remained untouched.I know, that "pros" with 1887 are killing everyone and everywhere with it, but I with Ranger couldn't hit anyone, unless he appeared <10m before me. Winchester has better range, but using Ranger is almost like Knife+commando. So leave shotguns in overall as they are, or change the 1887 only.
Wanted changes:
-Normal server browser, or at least option to choose a map.
-Make sth with hackers, as IWlolNet was so advertised as anti-hack.

[scratzin]

Like he said, in Team Death Match express you have 10-20 sec waiting time between the maps.

However, most gamers see shotguns as powerful so game designers make them that way. If this game had realistic shotguns no one would use them.

The AA-12 has an effective range of up to 175 meters in reallife.
Even if it was only 50, the point is proven, shotguns aren't really meant to be close combat-only weapons, that's a myth created by games where the developers watched too many door breaching vids or something.

/agree? with you apart from the blatantly stupid bit about shotguns having a "range" of 200 meters, maybe if you aim the gun at a 45 degree angle a couple of shots will land a few hundred feet away but theres no way in hell a shotgun can hit something effectively @ 200 meters.

English?
And yes, the AA-12 can. Just gotta use the right ammo pal.

[UKComet]

Fix IWNet. Add dedicated servers. That's all I want.

Agreed. Thats the only thing wrong with the game imo, except the smaller problems like the carepackage thing ofc. Must have been every 1 in 2 games ive been matched to today ive been kicked out on the loading screen with "Server timed out" and all the other error mesages that u get.. and most games ive managed to play in have been unplayable due to lag :(

[Chrysophase]

I do laugh when people say 'its not realistic'.

no, its not.. we're not crawling around in the mud, scared ♥♥♥♥less that someones going to snipe us off... and no.. we're not tired almost to passing out because of the heat, the constant barrage from superiors, the weight of our packs, the worry we wont see our families again.

realistic lol its A GAME

[Wireweasel]

1) Change map rotation system
2) Change underwear.
3) Change Riot shield damage.
4) Change unlock requirements for Camo and the method of selecting them in game lobby.
5) Change duel shotguns, they are stupidly powerful and im sick of seeing green yetis running around with them.
6) Change the stupid Smilie face sticker on the Walther sniper, it sucks.
7) Change that stupid Oil refinery map, its too small and too few access points to elevated plinthes.
8) Change Helicoper and Harrier I.Win combos. Call it air space restrictions.
9) Change Tactical Insertion, its stupid.
10) Change the FMJ addon option for Laser pointer attachments.
11) Change the Javelin's hit miss ratio, its miserably prone to fail.
12) Change the travel and detonation behaviour of the RPG-7, for USSR junk it still works too often.
13) Change C4 parcels, the pulsing red light is a dead give away.
14) Give us the ability to toggle Silence attachments on/off.
15) Change noob tube overload potential, Assault rifle w/noobtube + Thumper launcher = stupid easy mode.
16) Change the size of mussel flash from unmodified Sniper rifles. Must be bigger!
17) Change the lack of a Lean function.
18) Change the throwing knife to anything, its stupid.

[Diarrhea Lion]

When I read the thread's title and said 'Top 100 things' I would like to correct you, it should be 'Over 9000 things that NEED to change in MW2'

[DemonsDawn]

i woul say, change the headshot multiplier for snipers to 2X .. snipers are MADE to headshot people with a silencer.. leavign that out it pure murder, i dont care about the chest or legs, (.50 cal wouls shred them tho) but a headshot is a kill, with silencer or not ..( dont mind them leaving it out for assualt rifles etc, that would make the game a lil to easy, maybe add some more running speed to balance the headshot ratio than)

and i agree with toggle silencer on/off ability i bet that THAT would make ppl actually USE it .. instead of laugh at it as they scroll by

[TraNe15]

Chat Box for the game lobby!

[nastykb]

Nuke every game...
If u have stupid teammates yes , if u don`t hava class with cold and stinger - yes.
I love someone call a harier , pawe low and chooper :)
just switch class , run 2 get killed or kill my self - then shot donw enemy air suport.
Hate people with maraton light and comando who just run and knife.For what!? They just get a high score but their team are lossing almost every time.
About a maps - play one night i just play 3 max 4 diferent maps for the hole time :@
Ended with quiting for 3 min to get some diferent map.

dedicated servers

FAL+shotgun

dual shotties O.O

chat in lobbies!


if they dont wanna put DEDIS, please let us choose what maps to play

erm, fix the pirates playing with legit players

the syncin system

and the XP hacked servers/ hackers :(

[Dural]

1) It needs to actually run...

[analyst88]

My ideas:

1)change the ADS speed of snipers, so they can be useful on offense instead of camp
2) get rid of that annoying sway, you only zoom like 2x
3) no sway when in prone (since your sniper rifle would be on the ground)
4) staying in the same spot/room for longer than 7 seconds in FFA/TDM = death or kick (this includes snipers).
5) test patches extensively before releasing them to the public.
6) release patches faster if it's blatantly obvious that people are exploiting game mechanics.

[whippit]

1) Stop sprinting when you've been shot
2) Decreased sway when you're crouching and more when you're prone
3) Decrease the distance of the knifing lunge
4) Fix spawn logic
5) Ability to search for particular maps

[FullM3taljack3T]

love the shotguns(the AA12 and the M1014)!and in game their range is pretty real.so please stop whining and play the game!

the 'unable to connect' error sucks tough and it's driving me mad so please let's do something about that!
hackers-have seen two yesterday-but their are pretty rare,and will get banned in about two weeks(sucks but better then nothing).
this is an arcade game-ARMA II AND FLASHPOINT=CLOSE to reality,MW2-ARCADE.it's an arcade guys!!
nuke boosters are funny.i loooove tracking them down and kill them.you can hear the flares and the "safety off" sound.i always make fun of them and always track them down.so let the losers boost.

[Noxas]

Excluding the obvious like bans for hackers and dedicated servers, gameplay wise...
1)1 hit with a riot shield should equal death.
2)Increase the damage of the 7 kill streak helicopter.
3)Remove tactical insertion
4)Make stopping power an attachment for specific guns only.

I didn't say it was supposed to be realistic. It would just make the riot shield a more balanced weapon.

No, it would only make it more annoying

*thoughts about riot shield abuse in CS:S surface*

[TCool774]

Upon the nuke literally striking everyone, if you're getting shot at when everything is in slow motion the "nuke" effects go away. LAME.
Another related issue, today I got a nuke, and right when everything goes in slow motion I got shot down to Final Stand, and I lived! The nuke didn't kill me. The guy who shot me vanishes and here I am on the ground.

Not wanting bugs in a game to be fixed is like not wanting chemotherapy when you have cancer. This is the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing I have ever had the misfortune of reading.

[cappy229]

So we're all getting skull ♥♥♥♥ed by lag, and you want to put dedicated servers at #6?

Let's try and hit you with a shotgun from 100 meters, and see if you're still standing.

Maybe if it's firing slugs, there is no way in hell any shotgun anywhere is firing buckshot effectively for up to 200 meters.

[Shaitan808]

Make your teammates have no mass. This bugs me more then anything in-game. They constantly get in my way or when one is running next to me my screen starts to shake.

[masterchef341]

Make your teammates have no mass. This bugs me more then anything in-game. They constantly get in my way or when one is running next to me my screen starts to shake.

The worst is when they are laying down in a walkway and you literally can't hop over them or walk over them or anything. It just feels stupid.

Powering up the riot shield is a joke, by the way. Absolute joke. It's fine. It isn't supposed to be a super-weapon. It is absolute offensive sacrifice for defense boost. If you make it a one hit kill, it defeats the balance. The riot shield, when used effectively, can shift the tide of battle in certain game types.

[Shaitan808]

The worst is when they are laying down in a walkway and you literally can't hop over them or walk over them or anything. It just feels stupid.

I've unloaded entire clips into teammates who do that to me. To try and stress 2 points.

1. GTFO of my way, and
2. I wish this was hardcore team deathmatch.

I just love trying to jump over my teammate who's blocking a doorway as an enemy comes along and tubes us both.

[StrafingRun]

1. REALISTIC shotguns have ranges of about 200meters....

Whoa whoa. Maybe if you're firing it in low gravity on another planet lol...

Effective range for a buckshot shell here on earth is approx 30-70m depending on barrel choke and a slug might get you as good as 100m if you're a huge person with the weight to keep the gun steady enough that the slug actually flies straight. This would be with a full stock, ghost ring sights and a long "street legal" hunting barrel(optimal conditions for extending range).

Effective range is known to drop off dramatically for stubby tactical shotties with a pistol grip due to the lack of a full stock and a considerably shorter barrel which causes a great deal more inaccuracy and often a more pronounced spread. Most shorter barreled military shotguns are literally only effective up to about 10m or so, again dependent on barrel choke.

It's the only real change we need IMHO. Server admins can regulate the rest as they please and there would be a server type out there for everyone.

[m3talc0re]

One of my biggest annoyances is the teammate killed skull icon. It overlays everything else. Enemy players that are behind them can't be seen and I've been killed too many times because of it.

That and the shear amount of hacks now is a real problem. I've even been trying to get used to Bad Company 2, and that games sucks! No matter when or where you play, your server will either be hacked (some kind of match wide hacks) or it'll have hackers on it. The campers and tubers are bad enough, but add all this onto it and it's just soooo much worse :(

[xan.kriegor666]

I would change the way respawns work. I am so sick of the enemy spawning in the same spot i did, 3 seconds after me.

1) shotguns are buried in every CoD game, even the SPAS-12 has a low range, only masterkey has a realistick range.
Just keep in mind that people HUNT with them animals like WILD BOARS (very thick skin, like a normal bulletbroof vest) and BIRDS (10-15 metres up in the sky).

If anything should be changed is to make them more powerfull and have a selection of what ammo to use, there are even grenades (frag-12) made especially for the AA-12 wich I'd love to see in a game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnrizaO-X00 (frag-12 is at 1:47-3:15)



2) They may be axtremely fast but they are also very quick, use the same perk slots fot sleiht of hand and stopping power, get a distance and gun them down.


3) don't really care for that


4) Well... every game has it this way, don't like it? don't use it.


5,6,7) IW really screw up this one and they don't care (like the numerous glitches that could and should have fixed by now), just never buy another game by them, there are many other games to play.

Rust has the most ridiculous spawn spots on this game.
And they should fix the Tactical Knife attachment for pistols(And fix Desert Eagle's sight.),some people thinks they're so pro that they can only play with knives.(Aka MLC knifer.)
Commando is ridiculous in CQC,even in a distance.
Shotguns should be in Primary weapons,they're way too overpowered since some noobs abuse it like their Primary weapons.
G18 akimbo's hip fire.
M21 EBR sprayers,this one is BS even in CQC.
Cars explode after you jump on them.
9 members got banned in this thread,not gonna keep have the risk of replying in this thread...

[mullmachine]

How about fix the most OP'd gun in the game, The UMP. Oh no wait all the so called elitist think this gun is balanced LOL. No Sub Machinegun should be as strong as an Assault Rifle. There's no disadvantage to it, large clip, extra running speed, minimal recoil and equal strength to top AR's.

PS why are so many people being banned in this thread?

[uNReaLiSTiC]

This game:

1) Needs PunkBuster to get rid of big cheats.

2) Needs to increase max. points (above 10000 or unlimited) to play in a long time.

[penguin182]

uhhhhh. I thought you said 100... Could be wrong here, and maby Im looking into it too much, but there is only 7:confused:

[Kiarash]

Spaz, isn't it overpowered?

[El Vultu]

/agree? with you apart from the blatantly stupid bit about shotguns having a "range" of 200 meters, maybe if you aim the gun at a 45 degree angle a couple of shots will land a few hundred feet away but theres no way in hell a shotgun can hit something effectively @ 200 meters.

A shotgun in real life isn't about having massive firepower 10 centimeters away, it's about having at least one pellet hit a vital part of the body, which isn't exclusively the head. Why do you think people hunt with shotguns? They aren't expecting to obliterate deers from 5 meters away, they fire from over 100 meters and they down the pray consistenly. I live in a country where it's basically impossible to buy a firearm and even I know this.

Here's another shocker, claymores, in real life, have an effective range over 100 meters.

[squirll]

DEDICATED SERVERS WONT HAPPEN
NOT
EVER
(in mw2)

[DemonsDawn]

if your going to "fix"the realistic range of shotguns it means you could be able to 1 shot a person across wasteland map .... yea, that far...

1: shottie range is about right, but spass needs a little less distance
2: accuracy of assault rifles and the other gun that aint snipers should be lowered
3: top priority are the hackers and the fail of a P2P system

[Pennoyer]

only one thing: increase number of players > 18 so that bigger partys can work together

Improove IW.net in its working

The game itself; its all good

The maps are too small in this game for typical 32 player pc matches. I am glad the number is capped. This is one game where the devs had a good idea at how many players would be viable.

[Delta1441]

I'm on the console and games end with a nuke all the time.

If a guy gets gets a chopper gunner (usually with the aid of hardline), then you can pretty much call the game right there.

Its called cold blood and stinger.

and they should make the riot shields do a 1 hit kill. its insane having to sit there and mash some one to death with a heap of hits when the riot shield make u slower. but knife gets 1 shot kills and they can just chuck on lightwieght and just zoom around the map. i realy think riot shild needs 1 shot to make ppl stand back abit and go hey. what are we going to do now.

[Delta1441]

Are you seriously having a laugh? 1 Hit from a plastic sheet and your dead? No... just no...

its a game, and its hard using the shield. unlike Ninja knife pro.

[The eNIGMa]

Multiple banned forum accounts in the same thread?

[19willy72]

Better matchmaking. If i leave a game I don't want to be thrown back in the same game.
I want to be able to play an entire game without taking part in a game that is already playing and 9 out of 10 times losing.
