The fun factor about this game was that you could basically use every weapon because they were all somewhat viable. Surely some were a bit stronger but you could use an mp5k and bad recoil aside you could fight weapons like the ump close range everyday

Everything seemed broken because CoD followed the simple life logic. Getting shot with guns kills you

[@Flabbis]

The thing I miss the most from older CoD games was the matchmaking, sbmm is killing the funfactor in the longturn. When I started mw2 2009 I struggled to get UAVs, but when I got better I started to get nukes. This was what kept me playing, the feeling of selfimprovement. I bought MW2 2022 on ps5 and have not played a shooter on console since BO1, so my aim was all over the place, but as I improved the aiming the game became a lot more difficult and getting gunships did not get easier as I improved, rather more difficult. I later joined my kid (level 1) for a couple of games and I got my first nuke the first game and got gunships every game…

[@KOS13-APO]

this makes me so happy to see my childhood favourite game get popular and get more love again. thank you Handler. 🖤

[@modehfy1352]

That's why I love this game. You get noob tubed? Okay bring out OMA or rush them with the UMP. Don't wanna rush? Use an ACR and smoke them from deep. Wanna snipe? You'll barely get hit markers and the hits actually land. Wanna commando a dude on favela from across the map in the barbershop. Go ahead.

[@Blaaww1]

Mw2/BO was peak cod for me and a lot of others. One of the only cods where I had non stop fun. Also there was 10 different ways you could play it. You could rush(mw2 had the best rushing perks ever) you could run around with a tac knife, you could quicksxope( the silent shot with the throwing knife kill cam) , you could one man army cheese, you could play dead with ghille suit cold blooded and a hand full of others. Not saying that you can’t do this in other games but the perks matched were awesome for aggressive players and the footsteps weren’t obnoxiously loud. Newer cod are much slower paced and hurt players who want to be aggressive 🤷‍♂️ don’t play anymore so who am I

[@probst9999999999]

The stupidest thing is that a lot of people claim that modern COD is slow because TTK is low/fast but original MW2 actually had the lowest TTKs across the board, pretty much every single original MW2 gun can match or even beat any gun from today's MW2 for TTK and yet it was still much better paced.

I'm convinced what makes the old ones so much better is the movement. All the new ones are too fast, they have too much in the way of sliding, diving, climbing and jumping.

Modern Warfare 2 was ahead of its time back then when it came to graphics, gun play, maps, kill streaks and overall fun factor when playing. The only downfall is the tube spam but when you find a respectable lobby that doesn’t do it makes for some fun times. From the FAL to Barret or any of the LMGs you can have a good time with anything in this game.

[@Average_CoD_Clips]

Found this on an old forum, I believe these are both backed up and well known: Shaunomenon Mar 23, 10 When using the FAL w/ red dot the gun always shoots to the right of where you aim. I wish they would fix this I can't stand using the holographic at long range. Prodigy Mar 23, 10 The holographic actually benefits the FAL greatly. It is glitched so that when you equip the holographic it ups the damage on the FAL so it kills anywhere on the body in two shots. Even more reason to use the holographic instead.

People love to complain about broken stuff in todays games but from my memory I think we only had one real broken weapon updated in mw2 and that was the akimbo model 1887s. Everything else was just overpowered and we had to deal with it.
