I love how there are so many balance issues that they had to be combined in poll options.
Of all the broken things, killstreaks are the worst.

It's unfortunate that I can't vote for all of these because they all piss me off. In the end the worst offender is all the goddamn killstreaks although the campers, overpowered weapons (what the fuck is the AA-12 all about), the awful spawning that usually spits you out infront of the chopper gunner that just sent you to hell and fffffffffffffucking tactical knife are all pretty awful aswell.

The only time I can say that there isn't a problem is when I play Search and Destroy. I got yelled at for Hard scoping with a heat sensor once though since it was a 12 year old kid.

Camping isn't that bad seeing as how in a real war scenario people tend to stick to one spot until they get found out and shot.

The fact that the game is completely unbalanced in EVERY way shape and form.

The lack of having a team actually meaning something. Personally I think the tact nuke should be only if at least half the team has like 10 kill streak and 1 person has the 25 required for it.

Sorry I forgot to put Noob Tubes and One Man Army. Also "the people" is a problem with most games and is not specific to MW2. A lot of your other ideas are good but the forum doesn't offer enough options in a poll to cover every problem with this game.

To the people who think I'm whining and I just shouldn't play it:It's not that I keep playing it, it's that I payed $60 for a game that deserves to be in the "2 for $5" value bin.

I cant stand it. Just about everything there is with MW2 I hate. I thought I would love it, because CoD4 was so great. But the people in this one just are so damn annoying and the game mechanics make it way worse.

There is no balance, thats what kills the game.

You are given a host of perks, weapons, abilities, etc. that will almost never be used. They want the "Team Fortress" style of Gameplay, where different classes matter, but think that can be achived by letting everyone choose what they want freely.

Not only that, but some weapons are just broken. And Infinity Wards response is "lalalalalalala were not listening". The Killstreaks are broken as well; get a few kills and have access to a complete killing machine? The First Modern Warfare was nice; 3 for a UAV, 5 for an Airstrike, 7 for a Helicopter. The Helicopter wasnt too easy or hard to take down, and it didnt break the gameplay over its knee with a sickening "crunch".

If they worked on making the game more balanced, possibly removing the AC130 and attack helicopter (or make it so you need 20 kills to activate, and cancel out the Tac Nuke) the game would be a lot better.

Also. A Nuke. 25 kill insta-win. In CTF and Objective based. Fuck. That.

Where you go prone as you open fire, so it's a lot harder to hit you.

I would say everything on that list. If I had to pick one I would say the imbalance of all off the weapons because it pissed me off the most.

agh i can't stand that especially when they go prone after doing that STUPID Halo Bunny Hop thing!

character flight path:

|///^^^~__

(stand, run, jump, go prone mid air, stay prone on floor-- like they're fucking Chow-Yun-Fat or something)

I don't think its broken, but my standards are low, adn I don't play PC games.

Also I hate to be this guy but how many more threads like this will we see. We need a special forum section just for MW2 threads.

I can't wait for Halo Reach just so that we can replace all these threads with "What broke Halo" ones.

What, do you expect them to let them shoot you?

all of the above, but I'd also add in a very important thing everybody is ignoring- the hilariously inaccurate hit detection. On MANY occasions, I have found myself watching the killcam, wondering why I play this half-asssed excuse for a game, watching as my would-be-killer kills me by shooting the empty space behind me.

Oh, and the fact that IW has pretty much said "yea, the game is good as is. patches are for teh homosex"

Douchebags.
