'Kay. I don't know your experiences with -good- multiplayer FPS's but I've played Counter-Strike 1.6 for a long time, CoD4 a fair time, and loads of other FPS's out there on the market. I can truly say this one has the crappiest multiplayer of them all.TsunamiWombat said:
It has potential, yes. But there are SO MANY bugs and crappy things in the game itself that I tend to annoy myself on. Oh, and so do all my friends which I play with (So that makes ~12 players think the same)
Or YOU must be a lucky person.
I read threads like this and wonder why my friends can't understand why I don't ever play games online.
Worst thing about World at War was the kill streak rewards. One lucky grenade and you can win the match. Dogs, insanely accurate artillery strikes..HaraDaya said:That was reason enough for me to get World at War. Got ruined by SMG's though.Cyberjester said:And yet they generally leave out the bolt-action rifles.Amnestic said:
Although playing 'hunt the tank' with a teammate, one of you with a rocket launcher, the other with a rifle, is extremely fun.
Still rates as one of the most fun games I've played.LimaBravo said:
Harriers are easy. It's the choppers (with flares) which are slightly harder. Harriers are one shot with the stinger, choppers are two shots in quick succession. Cold Blooded, Scavenger, Ninja and that perk which gives you higher explosive damage are nice to solo explosives. Ninja to avoid getting targeted by an air strike, Cold Blooded so anything in the sky can't shoot back, Scavenger for more ammo, other perk to blow stuff up even more.
If I can do it, everyone can. =P
They may patch that apparently. Dev was in an interview, said something to the effect that they'd 'take the complaints into consideration and act on them'. Whether or not they do anything, is round 50/50. =Ptharwen said:
Ironically, i think people are switching out the helicopters for these reasons, the 7 attack chopper takes one, while 9 Pavelow and the 11 pavelow take two because of the flares but aren't impossible to shoot down. Not to mention aside from cold blooded, people should have learnt to out manuevere them by now anyway, simply using cover and rotating away, using buildings, ducking and weaving to the other side of the map, staying in the choppers blindspot. Clearly on open maps these tactics work less but are still available.
While the AC-130 isn't that great compared to other options, but its becoming an easily more stable option, as is Harriers, for there 1 2 punch combo.

Why the hell would you patch 1887? They were special because they were so kick ass! Now they'll be just some shitty old shotguns.
This generation of gamer wants everything to be fair, everything to be balanced. It's like they want every single match to have a 50/50 chance of them winning. Seems like a slot machine would be better suited sometimes. I never had a problem with the people with akimbo 1887's, I just shot them before they shot me. I don't see why people can't just do that.The Austin said:
Seriously, I have seen every little thing in this game complained about, usually by people saying it's a balance issue, which it usually is, but only in the sense that you were playing with someone better than you, and the odds were in their favor because of that.
Yea well, seeing as this generation is MY generation, I clearly don't fit in.chronobreak said:
I WANT some weapons to be better than others.
I WANT to have the ability to use high powered shotguns. (No, I don't use 1887's, but I reserve the right to dammit!)
What I DON'T want is a bunch of people complaining about how "something isn't fair."
[HEADING=1] Ya know what wasn't fair? Castlevania wasn't fair. Call of Duty, is. [/HEADING]
Wait wait wait... are you actually making fun of this generation for wanting some fucking BALANCE in our competitive multiplayer? God forbid we actually try to win without abusing obviously glitched weapons. That's what the 1887s were. Anyone who thinks those damn things just "slipped through" testing are in denial.chronobreak said:
The shotguns were (and still are with Bling/FMJ) imbalanced. They had too much power at range, where they should have very little power compared to ARs and Snipers. You could literally 1-shot snipe with the damn things from 30+ yards away. They detracted from the enjoyment of good players like myself.
e) Grind to 30 and use the Stinger. The point is that once you're level 30 you're SIGNIFICANTLY more capable at AA duty.LimaBravo said:
Teamwork can also mean one guy is designated for AA duty so the other team members can use their secondary weapon slot for something else.
