Poll: Modded Warfare 2?

[Saul B]

Okay seriously. I've had enough. Infinity Ward is an utterly useless game developer who is out of touch from their fanbase.

Now let me qualify my statements:

First off, I love MW2 (when it works.) It is my most played game at the moment, taking probably 90% of the time I spend on my 360. MW2 has been pretty full of glitches, bugs and hackers since its release. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if IW acted quickly on these problems. Now I'm no programming expert and fixing cracks in the game probably isn't easy, but I (and many other people, I expect) are getting a bit annoyed by the lack of service and the improvement maintenance of a game which sold millions of copies at £40 each. It seems that every time a new glitch is patched, a new one appears and IW sit around for a month before fixing it. Surely it doesn't take that long to isolate a dodgy piece of coding and fix it? If it does, the fact that millions of people frequently play the game means that they should employ more people to try to fix it. I have made a list of some of the glitches that have been seen in the 5 months the game has been released for:

Javelin glitch
Modded private matches (usually 18 players on rust)
2 care package glitches
4 perks at once
3 weapons at once
Golden deagle
Thermal VISION
Aimbots
1887s - even after they were patched once
Modded guns (eg auto M16, modded camo)
Nuke in every care package
Leaderboard modding/modded xp lobbies/challenge lobbies

The last one I don't really care about as it doesn't really hurt anyone except for the people who are scammed. (Even then its their own fault) But my point is, 5 months after its release, MW2 is still a broken game, which it shouldn't be. It seems that IW coudn't care less about their fanbase, and that they have made their money and gone home. They should focus some time and effort on fixing their game, or they will surely lose many fans.

EDIT: Poll is broken: should be more options

Are you playing this on PC?

Isn't this along the lines of what PC gamers were saying several months ago?

Pretty much. We're just more reluctant when it comes to buying games, I guess.

But hell, I can't comment, I went to the midnight launch. Silly me. Now I can't sell it second hand because of the DRM.

I'm willing to give every game a chance. Hell, I even brought Alone in the Dark. Unfortunately I'd have to lump MW2 in with that game, in the sense that I probably wouldn't sell it on anyway. Not because I'd play it again, but because I'd never wish such an experience on someone else.

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Yes. It was made for the console and this can never be fixed.

 

[GRoXERs]

Have you just never played a FPS on a console before? They're being fixed surprisingly quickly. The only one of these I've ever had a problem with is the infinite care package glitch, and that got patched pretty quickly... nothing like Epic and Gears of War, which STILL hasn't patched to stop kung-fu flipping.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Ok, what's the problem with a Golden Desert Eagle and a M-16 that has a modded camo? Those "glitches" are purely cosmetic, they can't give you an edge.
If I was a computer hacker, I'd mod the M4A1 Carbine to look like the Gears of War Lancer but with the same stats as the M4. I'd may also mod the avatar's skin in multiplayer so I could be General Grievous running around with a F2000 w/red dot sight and NOOB TUBE, Gold Deagle with tacticle 'lightsaber'(same range as knife); Perks) Bling, Stopping Power, and Commando. DS: Martyrdom. KS: UAV, airstrike/harrier strike/helicopter, and attack chopper/AC-130.

I guess what I'm saying is if the mod/glitch is purley cosmetic and doesn't give any kind of edge, just ignore it and shoot the guy in the face.

Ok, it's been a long time since I played Gears of War but what is kung-fu flipping? I don't understand. Is it just the way the combat roll works or is it something else completely different?

 

[Armored Prayer]

I'm not sure about everyone else but I've been having no problems with MW2. The only issues I have with it are the players spamming me messages about '10th Prestige' man those are annoying.

 

[Quad08]

Haven't seen any of the glitches your describing and I play on the Xbox 360 as well. Maybe I'm just that lucky, haha

 

[Sir_Tor]

How is Golden deagle a glitch? Everyone had it in MW
Oh aimbots aint a glitch, aimbot is when a computer do your aiming for you!

 

[dryg]

Yes. It was made for the console and this can never be fixed.

QFTW

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Playing BC2 on PC I kept noticing this big splash in the top middle of the screen when I was playing, it kept informing everyone on the SERVER that so and so got BANNED for cheating. And dedi servers are bad why?

 

[evilartist]

Yes. It was made for the console and this can never be fixed.

Um...yes it can. I usually receive updates/fixes when I start up the game. All you got to do is get IW to actually make the damn patch. Or did you mean that it can't be modded?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I gave up in January.

Much happier now

 

[chronobreak]

I never had much of a problem, I just played it and had fun. If I was in a game with people spamming care packages, I would just leave it. You can also make some friends on XBL and play with them, and that's always good.

 

[sephiroth1991]

It's not the glitchs or mods that make MW2 broken, it was broken anyway

 

[Vianyte]

You know infinity ward havnt claimed their royalties for mw2 yet, all the money has gone too activision and with last months tustle with the devs, i dont think they are getting it.

I'd say this explains it
