About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6344 DaysThe online is a complete joke at times, while the singleplayer campaign doesn't last long at all. I wouldn't call the game 'great', put it that way.
Since 6515 DaysWhen I'm searching alone it's all right. I actually began to have a lot of fun with SMGs because they are forcing me to move up close (ARs are boring) and now I'm getting into sniping, which is also a lot of fun (but only when you're flanking).
Since 6344 DaysAnyone seen the new hack that makes you move at super speed? I've been in two of those games now.
Since 6772 DaysThis is such a fucking joke. I won't attempt playing with friends again. Also a lot of people are getting the hang out of the ways to get lots of kills. You only need 5 kills to get onto a killstreak that can lead up to 25+ kills in a row without firing a single shot from your gun. It's not a problem when at least 2-3 guys use Stingers with Cold Blooded but from experience noone uses them, they run out in the open and get raped by AC130s, Pavelows or the Chopper Gunner. The quality of the match depends on luck alone since MM doesn't seem to work at all.
Oooh, Profound, isn't it?

Since 6943 DaysThis game requires too much patience outside of actually being in games. The load times are terrible and so is the map cycle (as is simply finding a game as mentioned above, sitting in lobbies). It'd be nice to get an fps this gen with a decent amount of maps so you don't get bored as hell. Left 4 Dead 1 had the same problem.
Since 6085 DaysI do agree about the time wasting in the game being out of hand, you have finding games wasting ages, host migration wasting even more time, intermission wasting a ton of time etc etc. I hope bad company takes a different aproach, maybe more akin to killzone with dedi servers. Have the game switch game types and maps without going to some loading screen etc, be allowed to drop out of games without punishment (none of this being dropped onto the losing team or in a crap map then being punished when you leave with a loss against your name), join games as a spectator, giving you the choice to join the game or leave. Most importantly, a goddamn server browser so we can choose to join games with a decent ping, a decent map and a decent chance of having a good game.

Since 6444 Daysthe fact that you're unhappy with it doesn't mean it's "absolutely overrated".
Since 6515 DaysAlthough a MW3 is inevitable I hope the recent rumours are true and it'll get developed by someone other than IW. The only way the franchise can continue to "improve" is by bloating up the gimmicky gameplay even further (the core gameplay won't change, it's as close as perfect as it can get) , that's a waste of talent. IW should throw it at a new project, maybe a Future Warfare game?
Since 6444 DaysApparently there's rumors going around about the next iteration being an mmo and i'd have to say that, although this might, at first glance, look like it's activision trying to capitalize on the CoD series, this is a great idea and one I've been dying to see for ages. The idea of something like extending the co-op missions of MW2 to a persistent world, where to take some missions you'd need a medic, support etc whatever, so you'd have to find a party in an outpost, and then got out in the wild and take the mission and get loot (guns, attachments for guns, special ammo, armor etc etc) which would help you progress and take more difficult missions...it's just great and one i'd really really like to see happening.
Actually BF more than CoD would be the perfect game to adapt to an mmo, what with the focus to classes and whatnot (well, not so much now in Bad Company, but before, in Bf2 and 2142)
There was this game Huxley or something, they were trying to do something like this i think, an fpsmmo, whatever happened to it anyway?

I'm actually in the exact same situation as Virginti_Tres: I am constantly frustrated with the game, yet it's pretty much the only game I'm playing at the moment. Of course, that will change in just a month or two.
Since 6772 DaysOooh, Profound, isn't it?
Since 7710 Days"I think about it like a sports team, when you sign a star athlete for your team... when you sign that free agent, I think it makes your team better. At the end of the day, we want to turn as many people as possible into Xbox 360 fans," he said at CES.
"And then to say, on top of that, to take the biggest game of last year, and be the exclusive place you can get that downloadable content first, I think that's a big deal.
"That's a big reason you'd want to buy an Xbox 360 instead of another console. So we think from a business standpoint that's part of the reason more people are buying the Xbox 360, more people are on Xbox Live, it's part of the reason more people are buying Modern Warfare 2-more than two to one our box vs. the PS3."
If you own a PS3 and 360, which version of MW2 did you plump for and why? Bet it's got more to do with multiplayer than DLC?

Since 7013 DaysBut I am still not sure what your point is. Of course it's popular. I'm just saying that arguing against his opinion that it's overrated by pointing out its popularity is sorta silly, since it could not be overrated if it were not popular to begin with. Sales (and metacritic!) are a crutch in almost any argument, especially when the discussion is about quality.
Since 6366 DaysSay what you want, but IW created one of the most fantastic shooting formulas the genre has ever seen. It just feels SOOOO much fun to fire a weapon in that damn game. With a new style of game and even vehicles maybe, I could see IW's new IP being something simply amazing.

Since 6984 DaysReally, grow up folks. Yes, a game this big and popular is going to attract people who dislike it. Welcome to the big boys MW2. Halo and GTA say hello and every fan of less than successful titles hates you.
One thing I wish MW2 had was a full theater so you can watch other players. e.g All those whining about getting destroyed by air targets: HOW?! I find MW2 is a LOT more forgiving than MW1 and I haven't found the perks, especially air ones, to be unmanagable. A couple times here or there I may die 2 or 3 times quickly in a row but never more than that. I would like to see what others are doing (i.e. don't know how to take cover / use scene objects for shielding, run around aimlessly like a chicken with their head cut off, just plain suck, etc) because I never have this sort of problem. Then again I have played a lot of FPS and just learn to adapt instead of expecting a game to play to my specific strengths/style.
