Modern Warfare 2 Beta Survey Sent Out by Activision, Asks About Movement, Mini Map & More

Activision has sent out a Modern Warfare 2 beta survey to select participants asking about the movement, tick rate, TTK and more.

For me it was the usual suspects of Hit Detection and Weapons balance. It has been better in recent games but I ran into players taking a full clip or two with and yet I went down with 2 shots.

Hit detection was definitely an issue. Though to be fair I can't remember ever playing a beta that didn't have some kind of hit detection issues. Except maybe COD4 and Halo 3, but those were ages ago.

The movement can be sped up a bit. It's slower than the MW from 2019. It feels solid and the guns feel better than Vanguard and Cold War. The perk system is trash. Their only goal is to make it so accessible so that they can sell millions of extra battle passes that wouldn't have been bought if the game was as hard to get into as the game from 2019. I know many more of my friends didn't get into it because they said the ttk was too low for them. I thought it was great and it was my preference over the last two games. This game can be great if they fix the hit detection and improve in other areas like Dead Silence alerting your enemies. FFS, why is that even a thing?

Beta felt good overall, definitely some improvements to be made on hit detection. But it felt solid for the most part.

I did enjoy the maps though, while only a few were present, they were very well balanced for most gamemodes I played and had good paths through etc.

I know there is a lot of hate towards COD games as it always seems to be a rinse and repeat effort (me included) but, I quite liked what I played of it. I don't buy the games every year which helps somewhat with that.
The slower movement of the game I actually appreciated as its a change from the norm. Not for everyone I know but I survived in rounds for longer because of it too which made it more enjoyable for me. I don't have the quick reaction skills most of you have out there so for me it was a welcome change.
I'll be purchasing it as it my 1st COD game since WW2 and need a change up from my usual game types, Horizon, TLOU, Elden Ring, Dying Light etc.

Loved the slower pace game and Gun play,just overall a much better feeling than the last two games

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood640d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G640d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade639d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty640d ago (Edited 640d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality639d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator638d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G639d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85640d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai640d ago (Edited 640d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G640d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo640d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg640d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast639d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
