Modern Warfare 2 looks awesome.
 

Not sure if this is the proper section for this topic, but it has to be said. The line between video games and Hollywood just got a lot thinner.

The shots seen in the talk section really wowed me. There's a guy there wielding a Desert Eagle (hang with me on this one). Thing is, he's carrying it like he frickin' knows how to use it. The grip is so excellent that it made me forget that he was holding yet another one of those things...and tricked me into thinking that it was a real-world shot of a developer airsoft shooting or posing with one.

Can't wait for this game.

Too bad they still need to have the ever-present deeg. Realism is good ive given up on relaism in video games though. I play for the fun factor now. And Modern warfare 2 definitely has that going for it, lots of guns and things to shoot with them.
cant wait for multiplayer. (just need to get the xbox fixed)

Yeah, I wish they'd dump the Desert Eagle, too. And here's hoping the SAS gets their L119A1 carbines instead of "generic" M4s.

Well technically it really is an M4, just not made in the US. There are some slightly noticable features, but it's an M4A1 plain as that.

And yeah the Desert Eagle is over rated in gaming and they should get rid of it for something better or at least different. Why not a CZ 75 or a Browning Hi-power.

I'm a nut for realism, though. I like a given SOF unit (whether it be SEALs, SAS, or whatever) in a movie or game to be portrayed accurately and I consider the weapons they're holding a key element.

Why not have the russians carrying makaarovs or tokarevs instead of m9s and 1911s? Or that new 9x19m pistol there starting to issue? Ak-74s instead of 47s?

Weapons common amongst shooters, like the cz75/85 and cz-97s, Sig p220/26/29. Walther p99s? A LWRC IAR? would be cool as a automatic rifle.

I'd love that, too.
Yeah, those would be good, especially the SIGs, P99s, and the IAR.

I hope the brazil militia are realistic. Like, if i see them all decked out in tacticool, ill flip. They should have some good guns, but also be a little ratag, with bolt action rifles and stoer shotguns, and mostly taurus handguns, pt92s and wheelguns. If i see them all with benelli m1014s and BEretta 92s i may scream.

Also, two thins that have never been fixed, ever.

Psitols should be portrayed as close range and hard to use, not something that goes exacly on taret with each shot and hits 100 yards away.

And, i ahve never seen this.......A REAL SIGHT PICTURE.
We all know you cnat see rear, front sights and target equally clear. A little blurred vision would help realism. Giving weapons ability to jam wold also be cool. Not like far cry though, there system made no sense. Have it like, you jump in mud with the m4 and it starts jammin, not the system based on total usage where the whole gun goes form prisitine to rust in like 4 mags

I'm not liking the look of Modernwarfare II, it just looks like Rainbow six Vegas II but with a different name.

Not really, the graphics are just like COD4, almost exactly like it. It's like an expansion than a whole new game. Vegas 2 had the same color tones and lighting as the first one.

Now, if Modern Warfare 2 had a 3rd person cover system, the capability to switch firing modes, and squad based combat and takes places in Vegas, THEN you can call it Rainbow Six Vegas 2

They should have firing mode options for guns anyway Rainbow Six or not. I like firing guns on semi-auto, it saves ammo.

Well, yeah, but in games, most guns fire slowly enough on full-auto that tapping the trigger quickly to achieve semi-auto fire is easy, unlike real life.

Not to mention that ammo also tends to be much more plentiful in games than it would be in real life. And in games like CS, the game rounds are so short that it's unlikely you'll use up all your ammo before the end anyway.

But still that's more control to worry about when shooting at another player or AI. I prefer knowing that each time I press down the trigger fully I'll fire only one shot.

And maybe it is just because in RS:V all the guns run empty fast on full auto, but I find I still have a loaded primary gun by the end if I shoot in semi-auto.

I've always been pissed off on COD4 that they didn't fix it so you can switch firing modes. I mean, I wanted to shoot the G3 in full auto in multi player or the MP5 in semi but they don't allow that. I also hope they fixed the damage rate since the M4 sounds like it won't damage you when the M16 fires like it should.

As long as they don't make it so semi auto mode is more powerful than full auto. You know, like when you turn a FAMAS to semi and it suddenly sounds twice as loud and takes less shots to kill like in rainbow six.


I want jammable guns. I even remember a part of Vegas2 when terrorists were coplaining about how much their guns keep jamming. I kill them, take there guns, and of course, they work perfectly.

Realism is good, and perfectly fine.

However, the day I pick up a action/shooter game and have my gun jam on me is the day I finally break a game. It would be cool to see, but even with the advances in technology and game programming nowadays, it's impossible to eliminate or even completely suppress glitches, and I'd hate knowing that I just wasted precious time on a level because the game decided, either inadvertently or purposefully, that it was time for my Beretta to stovepipe or for a dud round to be chambered.

Im also hoping weapon daage is more realistic, the "Its a sniper rifle it must be powerful" logic kills me. A .308 m40a1 drops people in one shot but a FAL needs a 6 round burst?

If I ever make a video game I'll remember your requests. :D

Jamming guns would definitely great, but it should be an option you can turn on and off.

Then you should play "America's Army". In that game, the M16-series weapons jam (or at least they did, when I used to play it, but I haven't touched the game in about 4 years now).

It shouldn't be optional, then people will typically shut it off.

The chance of the gun jamming in the game should be programmed to about 1 in 1000 chance, so it doesn't pop up too frequently but is still a factor.

Not in the console versions, at least.

Well, yes, but that's because consoles are for morons. :D

Well that's a slap to the face! I'm a console owner, I can't do anything with a computer other than what I do on IMFDB. But does that mean I'm dumb? Nah.

Or people who can't keep up with ever-increasing computer performance standards for games...:D

I remember when I wanted to get Max Payne 2 for the PC. My computer at the time was near-infinitely more than capable of handling the original Max Payne with no problems. That said, that particular computer wouldn't have ran MP2 without graphical issues out the ass.

That, and other games, is what finally turned me off to PC gaming.

And the fact console controlers are much better and easier to use. I love how consoles dont get out of date.

True, and I admit that I used to be tempted to go to consoles when I got frustrated that my computer couldn't play the latest, greatest game at high-resolution with all the high-detail features turned on, because my graphics card and CPU weren't high-end enough.

That being said, PC games can be modded. If you buy one game, you've bought all the free mods that can be added to it. It's a trade-off I'm willing to make.

I find it way easier to use a keyboard and mouse than a controller. And consoles DO get out of date eventually, just not quite as fast as PCs do. Most new consoles last about 4 years before the next generation comes along, whereas PCs are only like 2-3 years at best.

Or one year, NEVER had luck with PCs. To get it to last long at all you need to buy a gaming specific computer or spend 50% of your income updating yours.

6 months I say for most graphics cards. Prices always goes up and down depending on where and what's being sold and there is always something better. It's best to just get what you can afford now and wait a year or two if you dont mind.
