Modern Warfare 2?

You might as well be playing those some no budget cs clones because they run p2p as well (no dedicated servers), so the lag issues are going to be the same. There's no way in hell you are going to accurately snipe someone when your ping is like 90 and theirs is like 150+.
Whenever I have to worry about if the reason I died was because the person was better than me, or their ping was just too high (or vice versa), it's frustrating and hard to play.
Also, I'd like to point out that Crysis/Far Cry 2 still looks better MW2.
I'm not really complaining about the single player (though I don't like it personally).
I'm just saying I wouldn't buy this game for PC when there are better alternatives, and the game was clearly made for consoles. Why not just play it the way it was intended?
Having played on dedicated server FPS games forever, and now MW2 for 2 days, it's not entirely bad. Honestly the only thing I notice in terms of delayed ping, is when I hit TAB to view the scoreboard. Usually the lower the ping, the faster it comes up, and yeah, it comes up slower than in dedicated servers which obviously hints that the pings are higher for P2P...
With that said, I haven't been able to notice any negative effect on gameplay.
Now the one game that really looks awesome coming out in early 2010 is Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Totally destructible environments and dedicated servers confirmed

That is debatable, and I don't agree. They're certainly comparable but I find the models, especially the characters, the texturing and the dynamic lighting a bit better in MW2.
Because FPS gaming on consoles sucks ass. Controls are better on the PC, frame rates are better on the PC, video hardware is better on the PC, and my monitor resolution is better on the PC.
You say it was clearly made for consoles, most games like this these days are.
Its true... I had been playing fps's competitively (clans/ladders) since Quake1 and never bothered with consoles. One day I decided to play Halo1 (when halo 3 was coming out, lol) just to see what the hype was about. I couldn't control my guy for shit and the constant spinning around of the camera actually made me feel sick. I ended up just throwing away the damn game.
My next attempt at console fps was COD:WoW which i grabed in a buy 2 get 3 thing at target on ps3 games. The controls were much better and I could get around and kill people. But in that game if you get hit with 1 bullet your died. This killed it for me since it pretty much means don't waste your time sneaking into or hiding anywhere as you will just be 1 shot. I havn't bothered with the PC version but I am assuming all the noob fps features and 1 shot kills were put in game since joystick aiming controls are never accurate enough.
But far worst of all was the mic chat on COD:WoW I quickly learned who actually plays these games. (hint: None had hit puberty yet) Obviously no offence to you guys who bought it, a older gaming crowd exists for sure its just a matter of finding them. Which is going to be a lot harder with out private servers and communities behind the game.
Never heard of either of these.. I am going to stick to tf2, cod4, borderlands, and l4d2 until something better comes out.
Stop crying about the PC version. The PC version is A+. Thank you Activision for obliterating respawn times.
I give it a B-. They made some stupid decisions. 4 round win limits for S&D is terrible for instance. It's like being walked in on while beating off mid-way, kills the whole thing. The standard has always been 7, yet they force it at 4. Matches are way too short. I know it's based off of consoles, but do console players really all suffer from ADHD?
Yah I agree they could have made things more interesting. But overall it's still a really fun game and I'm REALLY glad they made it 0 respawn time which is really the reason why there are so few players per map probably. The MW formula+the new special attacks is lots of fun. New guns and lots of maps.
Ehh, I havent even played it on MW2 yet. Not wasting precious minutes spectating ppl.
The annoying part is that they should have added a graceful way to lower the computer requirements. The number of polygons (fucking trees) in MW2 is way higher than MW. Gotta get a new comp
Anyway, FUCK COD such a slaughterhouse game. No one stays alive for more than a minute
Battlefield Bad Company 2!!!

When Halo 2 was your first FPS, yes. Four doesn't seem too bad honestly. If I was just playing casually, I probably wouldn't mind. But if I was sitting down for some serious gaming, I would get annoyed.
They're very shitty F2P fpses that companies by from Korea and localize for the US/English speaking market. The funny thing is, they're drastically increasing in quality. Just two/three years ago, they weren't nearly this good.
Also, they are all also Peer-2-Peer.
They may look shitty, but, they play pretty well when there isn't any lag and you have a pretty mature community (tends to suffer from the 12 year old syndrome too).
Are the multiplayer maps better made in MW2? I really wasn't feeling the design of any of the maps in MW.
I can't wait for March!!!!!! BC2!!!!!!!!!!

If you loved MW, than yes. The specials, guns and maps are lots of fun. Gameplay is very similar to MW

Hacks already. IWNet sure is secure!
With that said, I kind of want to check out a copy to see how they designed the multiplayer maps this time around. Will probably play on my friends console versions or pick it up myself (for console)
Stupid question, but... for those of you playing on a PS3, do you use the ps3 controller, or do you use a USB keyboard and mouse? I'm finding that playing a FPS using a controller sucks compared to using a keyboard and mouse...
I'm pretty good with the PS3 controller, but I doubt anyone with a controller would be as good as someone skilled with a mouse and keyboard.
Until someone mods a controller for the 3, no. The console has the capability, the games do not. There is a mod controller for the 360 that allows for a keyboard plugin.
PC > Consoles for shooters. But I'm sure someone's about to tell me how wrong I am.
Just bought it for the PS3 tonight and so far... eh.
It's fun and all, but not so much different from the other shooters I've played in the past. At least not so different that it deserved all the hype.
