Played the PS3 version of MW2 over the holidays

[{Ru}EINHANDER]

Ugh.. gotta play something. I played the MW2 on the PS3 while my cousin was over. Had quite a bit of fun but it was frustrating as having the living daylights knocked out of you. Man no keyboard/mouse sucks something fierce! The game itself looked great and played really well. The only problem is (and I doubt most realized it much) was the lack of a persistent server. There were several occasions when the 'host' left the game and all the players had to migrate to another players PS3 connection to host. I hardly ever noticed much lag when playing though with the exception of having the host migrate to another player. I did find on eBay a PS3 keyboard/mouse combo adapter that I considered getting. I still think the PC version sucked and I'm not going to buy it.

I did enjoy playing it on my nephews xbox 360 over the holidays, but yea...trying to aim with the joystick is a journey into hell. My nephew probably learned a few new curse words after watching me try and play it Didnt play it online at all, just the sp mode.

Bubba's nephew can do really well online. He was leading the board several times but how they do the match making by Infinity Ward is.. one minute you are 3/18.. then you are 18/3.. and they keep matching you with people just beyond your skill level. It's a good concept because they are pushing you to learn to play smarter or better by matching you up with better players automatically. Nice concept but the persistent servers is something I'm still stuck on. What if you got matched up with jerks? etc..

been outta the loop for a bit, but in my opinion, every now and then i like to be able to just pawn the hell outta some ppl that cant play as well as me, it's a nice ego trip , granted not as nice as pawning the hell outta ppl that are actually better than you, but i take what i can get

Well go beat up one of the neighbor kids and it should have the same effect.. except you go to jail for that.

Ha ha.. that's cute.

Well, I picked up a keyboard + mouse adapter for my PS3.. so we'll see how much more fun I can have in MAG with it.

I know there are some really good controller people out there.. has to be. I keep thinking that some of the really awesome players already have keyboard/mice anyway. So basically, I'm bringing a knife to a gun fight. I can do pretty good but there are times it's kinda tough to pan and do something. I think that is the biggest problem I have playing with controllers is the pan/zoom part. I can do pretty good with changing weapons.. running.. jumping.. hiding or crawling.. but panning to shoot a moving target or hit multiple targets is gay as hell. Many times it's like you target someone.. shoot them.. and then their buddy gets the jump on you and your dead.. then your teammate comes up to help finish him off. I have gotten 2 kills in one gun battle but I just wish I had a video of the event. Hellacious to be sure.. felt like I was trying to scratch a rapper's record. It's really cool to see 256 other players on the map. The use of vehicles isn't over done on the few maps they are at. They can be blown up fairly reasonably without being stupidly overpowered. It's really fun to play.. everyone's often talking. It's funny sometimes people call out for help.. and I envision 'medic'! You get command posts in the game and can direct the battle but I'm only level 11 at the moment. You have to be at 15 to be a squad leader then not sure about how high for a battle commander. You play in the game and issue commands in the middle of combat which is cool. They have a skill tree that you can specialize in but have a training area that groups with with people of your level so you cannot get jumped by higher level people. I'm playing a medic with infiltration options. I don't think in this first day I got any higher than 2nd on the board. I typically get 1/3 or 1/4th fo the way from the top, so I do pretty good. Graphics are just as good as any other game I've played.. it's more teamwork oriented. You know when you don't have it too as you get rolled by another team with clanners in it. I cannot think that any single class has the advantage over another. It really depends on what you choose to unlock. You only get 60 points when you max out and you have to pick what you want. No one can unlock everything so you need to plan ahead to be what you want. You can be medoicre in everything or you can be the best at one thing with some side abilities. So I picked Medic with some side abilities. I heard Raven was one of the worst groups to pick but I found that Raven seems to be ok (still get some teams with no teamwork whatsoever). The US group Valor has the most players supposedly. Raven is mostly European I guess. I heard some Arabs talking last night.. had no clue what they were saying. The other group, Sver, is Russian/Chinese and Arabs supposedly but that's obviously not the exact case. People from all over play in the 3 different groups but I like Raven so far.
