MW2 comes to life with the Hardcore modes. It's basically the most realistic military simulator (other than the perks). There is hardly anything more rewarding then taking down an entire team using nothing but a knife and pistol.

Yeah, its real realistic to have a cluster of 10 year olds huddled together in a corner around a tactical insertion doing headshots on each other and then calling in a tactical nuke. Yeah, that's just like real life.

/sarcasm

That's the reason I hate the game and think WaW is far superior. WaW doesn't have nukes, and even if it did there aren't tactical insertions so cheating is far more difficult. WaW is all about skill, MW2 is just 10 year old noobtoobers and boosters.

Just cuz you suck, doesn't mean the game does.

How does other people boosting make me suck? In my opinion, if you boost you suck. The fact you defend them suggests you probably do it yourself. I don't need to.

ETA: And btw, Commando teleporting is not realistic either. You see someone rush at you with a knife and you shoot them but they teleport right through the bullets due to a glitch in how the game was made. How the hell is that realistic? But of course, you said you like to knife people so I'm sure its a sweet deal for you, but just like the noobtubers and the nuke boosters it completely ruins the realism of the game.

Missed the part where he said "It's basically the most realistic military simulator (other than the perks)", eh?

I think playing with boosters is fun, once I know there are boosters about I try and gun them down as much as possible. It's funny hearing them scream over the mic or getting a message full abuse from them.

I agree it is a lot of fun to kill boosters, and its also very easy to do. Since they all cluster together its easy to get double or triple kills, and they are too busy trying to boost on each other to really notice you sneak up on them. But sometimes you don't notice there are boosters in a game until its too late and then a nuke gets dropped... I absolutely hate that.

Fortunately, from what I've heard Treyarch is going to severely crack down on boosting in Black Ops and will have teams going through games looking for cheaters. It will also be possible to record videos of cheaters and send that in as proof and then get people banned for it. So hopefully Black Ops will be less of a cheat fest and a more enjoyable experience.

Lolwut.

No. If you want realism go play ArmA 2. Even on hardcore MW2 is still extremely arcadey. Plus from what I heard teamwork is THICK in ArmA, people looking for realistic warfare seem to be much more willing to work in a team. Oh and there's no problem with explosives in that game, although the explosions are huge and powerful the realistic engagement ranges mean the explosiopns still cover only a tiny fraction of the current combat area.

A friend told me about a game called Red Orchestra on the PC that he says makes COD look like professional wrestling (in terms of realism).

I can't envision a realistic combat scenario in which one man takes down an entire group of armed enemy combatants with nothing but a knife and pistol.

Games like Operation Flashpoint DR and ArmA 2 definitely approach realism much more so than Modern Warfare.

One thing about Arma is that cover and stuff isn't placed where some map maker thought it would be fun but where the satellite photos showed it. There are no convenient chest high walls scattered around, moving along a city street could mean exposing yourself fully with the next cover 10-20 meters away. You also have to pay attention to things like not standing out from your background, standing on top of a hill will make you visible like a lighthouse, forests are your friend.

Oh and it's the only game I played where running a civilian car into a tree will cripple or kill you.
