Title: New MW2
Post by: chyros on Thu, 08 September 2022, 06:01:57

New MW2 coming out in October! Opinions, speculations, comments!

It's not a remake of the old MW2 apparently. Wondering what everything will be like.

Yeah but Halo backlash is deserved. They just need to do MW2 like they did Modern Warfare and all will be well. Personally, I'm excited, Modern Warfare campaign was a lot of fun and had really impressive graphics for a call of duty game.

Heh, I didn't know this is coming.
I may try it out and play a bit, single player of course.

I miss Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, really liked it, preferred than COD...

I do plan on getting it, as it does look really good as a continuation of the newer MW.  But I do plan on waiting since I tossed my hat in the ring more for Destiny 2's new season/expansion, as I tend to get more mileage out of that game compared to the annual releases of CoD.

For me, I'm not paying €70 for just the campaign. The multiplayer needs to seriously hold up as well.

In that regard, I'm highly skeptical of their claims of big, open maps. For me, the only reason that MW2019 worked fairly well was because they used small maps, which nullified the major weapon design mistakes they made and which WERE highly tangible in Warzone. If they were to go to big maps again, they'd fall for the same pitfalls, in my opinion.

MW2019 was good, but it failed at most things that made CoD4 and MW2 so good - and they are almost unable to reverse those decisions now, because of the direction that shooting games are taking. The important thing is whether they frame the rest of the game well enough to compensate for those mistakes.

Really, I think they only have three choices; regress to an earlier, arcadier MW style (which they won't), move forward massively to where they rival something that's vastly more realistic and detailed, like Tarkov (which they couldn't even if they wanted to), or try to navigate the midspace as well as they could.

Big map is what turned tp off to battlefield.

Tp4 can't stand running around forever to find targets.

This is why Tp4 much prefer halo, but now with the controller problem, the balance is really thrown off.

If most of us will get it, should we arrange some GH sessions online? :)
