I just dont get it.. why a 5.5? Ive played alot of shitty games in the past that have gotten a 5.5. And this isnt one of them. I mean i got the game on the PC so i cant comment on the console versions but
The Controls = Great once you get hang of them, i love running at high speed to wall to wall with the alien.
The Graphics = I love them, great texture work on the characters and the trophy kils are really well animated.
The Sound = Awesome! i have a few niggles with the Smart-gun (but who doesnt?)
The Gameplay = Freaking great! lenghy singleplayer + CO-OP + Fun Multiplayer = Good replay value.
I cant find any major fault with this game i really cant, even if i try to think of faults i just cant. I can nickpick but i cant generaly say "ohh this game is bad because the Smart-gun doesn't sound like it does in the movie"
Seems like these so called complaints are more like stupid nickpicks a 8 year old would make. MW2 now theres a game i can give complaints about. Lets name a few Complaints i have "these are my valid reasons why MW2 is all hype. And that reviewers always forget about these and just focus on the bad points. Ok so Bad points in MW2?
First off the Spawning sucks (This wasnt an issue in the first MW Game) Ive killed people or cleared rooms, only to be shot in the back because someone has spawned in the room i just checked 1 second ago. It seems like i get more deaths because of this stupid ass flaw.
The Singleplayer disspite it being fun is lackluster. I felt no emotion for any of the characters and it was just "Kill bad guys, move on" Then after the level i get a Video screen with useless data on, and two people talking about somthing i have no idea what about.
The Level design sucks in multiplayer, The Original MW Game had much more fun levels. Theres too many openings and windows and doors that make it impossible to laydown a good camping spot. Annoying ass gameplay bugs and glitches that ruined the game and still are.
The AI is dumb. Its not impressive, yes IW have removed the endless spawning but all they did was replace the spawning with fix positions with the enemy's (so the AI is the same its just placed different) Ive never once seen the AI react differntly to my tactics. All i see with the AI is that it throws the odd Flashbang or grenade or keeps firing at my last known position. they never flank me or use team work (Somthing the Marines in AVP3 Do)
MW2 sucks balls in my opinion, the Singleplayer experience is forgettible and the Multiplayer is overhyped. Yes it was impressive first time around but they didnt really add anything. The Multiplayer has no skill its just a set of varibles, (This guy this this gun with this amount of recoil with this perk) theres no skill involed, all you need is luck and hope you have a better weapon loadout then the guy your fighting. All they just tweaked the multiplayer a alittle bit, added a few new weapons and changed some of the perks and added some new kill streaks. All that for 60$ WOW impressed. Now MW2 is a good game but its not the Mother of all FPS that all games should follow.
AVP3 in my eyes is my perfect Online shooter. It doesnt have stupid ironsights, it doesnt have weapon loadouts, theres no Perks that effect bullet penatration or recoil, theres no cheap ass Martadom. All there is, is your pulse rifle and motion tracker and the rest is up to skill.
I just dont listen Gamepot much now because it feels if one game comes a certan multiplayer mode they expect all the others to have so, or if not they give the game a stupid rating. You watch the last line the guy says in the GS Review. What was it he says? "theres better Online first personshooters or somthing? The only few major ones being played are "MW2, Killzone, Halo3. Halo3 is outdated and did nothing to reinvent the genre, Killzone 2 has a good multiplayer though.
Give me one game where u can pit Aliens, Predators & Marines in the same game. That alone is my ticket to this game.
