Call of Duty doesn't takes skill?

Ive played some Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer games the past days, and every time I get killed, I just have the feeling its either because the other guy had UAV Recon and could easily flank me without me knowing it, or the other guy just has a better weapon which I cant compete with (f.e. Sniper + Thermal sight on stealth map like Afghan) is it just me, or has the Call of Duty-series changed into a game where experience has the upper hand on actual skill as it gives you superior weapons? I dont like the game enough to play it enough to unlock all weapons. but whenever I give the game a try I just get pissed off within 2 or 3 matches because there is just no way to compete with some things that are unlockable at like level 50

In my opinion ModernWarfare 2 messed up big time. CoD4 was almost perfect, but now in MW2, they messed up on almost everything, i mean if your running around with a P90, which takes about 5 or 6 shots to kill someone, has SO much recoil, and accuracy actually matter on that gun... Anyway if your running around woth that, and you meet a guy with i dunno, SCAR- H, there's no way you can win. That guns a 2 hit kill with stopping power, it has almost no recoil and it has perfect accuracy. So you are right it does not require skill to play, just a high enough level.

Yeh, the assault guns also have a too big range. There just is no point in using a sniper rifle if a FAMAS can be used both at long range and close range.

I know, the FAMAS and M16 can take on any other gun in the game, and in this game silencers dont seem to effect range. Ife taken on two snipers at once on rundown with a M16 silencer and holographic. I mean the M16 ruled CoD4, but instead of taking it out, they add another 3 shot weapon, i mean where's the sence in that?

Right, the M16 is not amazing at long range, it often takes 3 or 4 bursts to kill someone partially in cover at long range. With a Intervention(1st sniper unlock) at that range all it takes is quick aim and a head shot.
And the Scar has significant visual recoil, at close range i would pick a UMP .45 anyday. The Scar may be a 2-4 hit kill but the RoF is quite pathetic when compared to an MP5K.
The only thing that makes assault rifles great is their ability to be usable at any range. However if you take a more specialised gun, like an intervention or a UMP .45 at range or CQB you should only lose if he fires first.

Basically: It comes down to whoever has quicker reactions.

Sorry but i disagree, ive been spectating areon in search he's been using M16 silenced and red dot, and killed a guy at close range, i think the guy was using UMP silenced, and he's picked of snipers at long range.

Anyway this is why I prefer Halo, there basically is no luck involved in Halo apart from the Team SWAt and team Snipers playlist. In Halo even if someone flanks you, you could do some manouvres and still kill him. Like my friend says: In COD, a noob could get 10 kills 15 deaths against an experienced player, in Halo, a noob would get maybe 1 kill 15 deaths against an experienced player.

Forza 3 FTW lol, in Racing games its all fair.

It's not the problem of the Assault Rifles, it's the big maps. They have the same range as they did in COD4. It's just how big the maps are now that they actually show their flaws. In every COD game that has come out, bullets have flown forever (except for shotgun shells). If you aim the sights down at someone who is standing still, then fire in bursts, you will hit that person.

Yeah racing games are fair aslong as people dont ram. In Race Pro (its a unpopular game, but only played by real racing fans) you really notice the difference when people in the lobby know how to drive. in Forza 2 I would still bump into some *ssholes a few times who drive way too close to your car and when you brake they ram into you

And to me, the problem of MW2 are the unfair perks and upgrades. I mean, c'mon, someone uses thermal sights and hide in the bushes then take me out from across the map. even with the killcam I cant spot them because they keep moving.

I'm not the best racer in forza 3, but I like the game. Although when I was racing with ILiies, he caused a total race spinout but braking when an AI player was right behind him. I thought that game was a real race simulator not demolition derby!

If you want a demolition derby you should play Dirt 2 online, god that game is just unbelievably 95% of the people think ramming eachother is party of a rally. And if they dont take out eachother, they will still get rid of themselve within a few corners. I had a few times where I finished 1st and the number 2 till 8 didnt even finished at all because they were 1 minute behind me. and that was on a track that take like 2 minutes to complete

Yeah I guess that's why they called it dirt. Ramming must spread the dirt around like a virus lol.

Yeah its a shame all those people ruined the game. It really could have been a great game but the only way you can get a good race now is to do a custom match then hope someone is hosting a rally race with collisions turned off and staggered starts
