"game balance" is something nerds love to talk about but it means nothing

It's brokenness is what offers a lot of the memories imo. One man army, never forget

Black Ops 1 will always be my favorite

The only thing I didn't like was the ridiculous knife lunge with unlimited sprinting.

Loved the predator and raining death with the AC-130 was pathologically-disturbing fun.

It was so obvious that a bunch of Infinity Ward developers were on the way out. The game plays like a 2 weeks notice.

Aren't they charging for Zombies mode? A mode that was free in World at War.....

That's one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard.

Game balance isn't a nebulous concept. It means making it so most strategies/weapons/items/etc. are roughly equally viable in their own ways. Certain situations will favor different things, but when a small minority of things dominate most situations, you have a broken game.

The people who say MW2 was their favorite are pretty much guaranteed to have been the people abusing stuff like Marathon+Lightweight+Commando, dual 1887s, grenade launcher+One Man Army, the M16A4, the UMP45 with a suppressor (which was glitched to have infinite range, always being a 2-shot kill with SP), and drop-shotting.

The game also sucked because of how many freaking killstreak rewards were always cluttering the sky. Once you were past the 2 minute mark it was a 50/50 chance of death if you stepped outside.

That feel when single handedly carrying your team using specialist killstreaks, becoming a near God, and then getting a MOAB.

It was the last COD game I ever played and it was mediocre.
---

It was the best multiplayer game ever so yup
---

I remember being really good at mw2 back in high school.. but I guess thats because it was broken like everyone is saying? I dunno though Im usually pretty good at online shooters even if I dont play them super often.

Correct. It was my favorite and I abused those.

This, tbh. Some of the broken shit turned into a bit of meta ime. (Well, when you got a team that actually cooperated.) You always had at least one peron on each team with the One Man Army + Noob Tube combo dueling each other; you had to take time to hunt down nuke boosters using the flares; and knifing was risky due to the javelin glitch.

It was a lot of bullshit, but it was fun bullshit.
---

MW2 was the best because it was fun. Every gun was viable, the killstreaks were awesome, and the maps were really good as well. They weren't watered down garbage guns like some of the other games in the series. Black ops 1 was the biggest example of this, with there popcorn sounding smgs and just an overall worse feel. Think of pretty much any gun in MW2, and it's pretty good. I mean hell, the riot shield was even good lol

Killstreaks actually did stuff too. When you got an AC130, you know you were about to get some kills, not a couple hit markers and then have it fly away.
---

OG black ops was the best, MWF2 was broke half of its existence between akimbo models and the javelin glitch. Not to mention nuke boosters. Such a noob game
---

Black Ops > MW1 > WaW > who care

MW2 was broken with glitches and the abuse of one man army made the game utterly stupid. n00btube with one many army and javelin glitch?? And the dual shotgun (forget name) glitch???

That game is nothing but nostalgia talking.
---

That game was so broken every setup had like 5 counters.

Akimbo 1887s, UMP ghost, and FAMAS with SP were so cheap but fun.

It was also the last IW COD so thats why many remember it fondly. It was a weird blend of seriousness and ridiculousness.

I just remembered another cheap tactic. Running around at insane speed holding a care package. Kind of sucked though wasting a killstreak slot when every match was a nuke race.

I remember knowing several spots at the spawn of matches on domination in which you simply shot the noobtube into the sky at the initial flag reloading one man army. The other team would be unable to cap and by the time the opposing team would give up, your harrier/chopper gunner were reading to get you that nuke.

I didn't use those either

I just run and gunned with a suppressed AR, Scav, Cold-Blooded, Ninja or SitRep Pro

That game is nothing but nostalgia talking.

All of this, plus:

- Shitty maps, especially Rust.
- Quickscoping all over the place. SoH Pro giving snipers faster ADS is stupid.
- Overcentralized perks. Stopping Power with no Juggernaut to offset it is stupid beyond belief.
- Lots of useless things that are simply not viable. The Blast Shield doesn't even fully cancel out Danger Close's explosive power AND forces you to give up your minimap to use it? In a game where grenade launchers and rockets are all over the place? Are you kidding me?
- Kills with killstreaks stacking towards the next one. You should NOT be able to get a nuke with only 7 gun kills (or in most people's case, 7 grenade launcher kills) by chaining through the Harrier and AC-130. How does that take any skill whatsoever?
- And of course, the game-ending nuke, which is still the single worst thing to ever happen to the series. No one should EVER be able to win an objective game mode without playing the objective at all. No one. Ever. Just because you get 25 kills in a row in Domination without capturing a single flag doesn't mean you win.

There's a reason why the majority of this stuff was removed or modified in Black Ops or Modern Warfare 3. Stopping Power never came back in the series. Killstreaks never stacked toward the next one again, and then they were changed to Scorestreaks in BO2 anyways. Quickscoping was neutered in BO1 and only came back in BO2 because the stupid MLG montage losers on Youtube bitched about it so much. And the nuke was modified to get kills but not instantly end the game.

MW2 was a car crash and a train wreck colliding, driving over a cliff, into a canyon, and into a giant dumpster fire. If they were to make a MW2 Remastered but didn't fix any of the broken shit I mentioned, they couldn't pay me to play it.

I feel each of the MW games got better esch one but still think MW2 was the high point of the 3 games.

If you played other game modes this wouldn't of been a complaint.

The screwed up balance is what made it so fun, though. You could do all sorts of dumb crap in that game and a lot of it was viable.

I liked the campaign for MW2 the best
