I read some of the twitter suggestions for IW's CoD:MW2 suggestion box. Some of it was very pleasent, innoventive, progessive. Something our gen of video games actualy
needs. Then we have other other portion of suggestions, the mind-numbing majority. Horrid, non-progressive suggestions that would only offer more setbacks to online gaming for all of us. Not just the competitive players, or the averages, it'd affect the casuals and any other category of gamer that is beneath. The only people it'd benifet are the ones who still need their food cut for them and use a dull pair of scissors to cut shapes out of papper in art class.
Let us begin, take note, these are direct quotes. For the overly depedent grammar whores in debates/arguements.
-------
First, the retarded
"a perk where if someone camps in the same place for 20 seconds or more, they show up on enemy radar regardless of the campers perks "
Or how about this? How about a perk where you learn to kill someone whose better than you at holding down an area on the map? Oh wait, that's up to you and your stubby thumbs, not the game.
"a perk that stops you from getting hurt by helis and air strikes, maybe replacing a red perk?"
Would you like some warm milk with that comfort blanket? Grow up and play the game you headless chicken.
"map editor for console multiplayer please"
Could you make a map, or are we better to leave it to the developers, so they can focus more on their multiplayer? Think about it. Most CoD players are still learning to walk and chew gum.
"laser pointers"
Because aim assist and red reticules isn't easy enough?
"Drivable vehicles ...maybe aircraft this time"
Assuming you're like what most player's I've encountered on CoD/xbl. How about you learn some basic motor skillls first, maybe how to look at radar when recon is deployed? Or how to strafe in a gun fight, instead of that mindless back peddeling crap I see on the regular.
"No 1 shot kill shotguns !"
All I can say is, you're an idiot. Bet you this is the same kid who claims CoD is realistic.
"Make it so that snipers can deploy a grappling hook to climb buildings!!!!!!!"
How... Juvenile. Go play Lego Batman.
-------
Now, the good!
"I would like to see the game require skill again like in cod1. Not like these console easy fests that have been pumped out yearly"
Skill in a console FPS is something I've wanted for... Well, since Halo 2 came out.
"Friendly nades should not give a grenade warning indicator when friendly fire is off"
I am okay wether this suggestion happens or not.
"when knifing someone you have to be beside them you cant do one of those crazy jumping knife attacks"
This suggestion got a lot of negative votes, I wonder why? No wait, I don't wonder why. People are affraid of challenge and skill VS being spoonfed heavy doses of easymode.
-------
If Infinity Ward listend to half of this crap, CoD would sell and at the same time, fall to the scourge of online gaming. No, not the casuals. It's the people who read books that have pictures w/ no words. They don't even have a term yet, none that I know. All I know is- they are
my scourge to online gaming. Just
mindless subhumans.
Just for the sake of it, heres my wishlist to make CoD:MW2 more balanced/enjoyable
1. Players who leave the boundaries of the map should die, instantly. With a respawn penalty and XP reduction. Will not affect teamates.
2. Remove all baby/superman perks either entirely, or all put into the same perk slot so players can only chose
one. Stopping Power, Juggernaught, Second Chance(last stand), Martyrdom, Overkill and Steady Aim.
3. Gears of War 2 setup where instead of vetoing one single mp map, we have
two mp maps to vote on.(Don't get me started on Gears, I am not a fan.)
4. Bolt Action Rifles & Single Shot Rifles are always more powerful than any given spray-n-pray weapon. Meaning you can kill an SMG or HMG fanboy just as fast, long as you're a marksman.
5. Destroying Tanks & Helicopters earns you 20+ xp, because
you took the initiative. Award players for being useful, for once.
6. Add a "Dodgeball" playlist. Objective based match where the only way you can respawn is when one of your teamates gets a kill. It will be 3 rounds, fast paced, NO perks NO vehicles NO Air Support. 100% guns only.
7. More penalty for players & host alike for quitting matches. Also, if a host does quit, make a record of it. Overtime, players with best connections and very little quit early incidents will host, whereas people with piss poor connections and quitter antics will be less likely.

For the most part the retarded ones were retarded, but I mean... some of them you're just insulting a person's opinion.
"Drivable vehicles ...maybe aircraft this time"
Your response to this was just to insult people. You didn't even comment on the idea of vehicles.
"Make it so that snipers can deploy a grappling hook to climb buildings!!!!!!!"
Some people would say wanting to play a war game where you can carpet bomb and summon helicopters would be juvenile. This idea isn't totally without merit.
I mean, you basically decided that everyone else on XBL is an idiot who's opinion is without merit. There must be at least ONE other person there with the same high level of intelligence as yourself.
COD4 is too mainstream for a real gamer like me anyway.
Too mainstream? Real gamer? Mmmm..! Guess we'll leave you to Doom then.
As for your choosing what's good and what isn't, BBW, I think its best to keep a more open mind. While there are some that eat sleep and shit FPS games, gamers like that have to understand that there's a fine line to pleasing them and others. Shooting others suggestion down just shows how close minded a person can be.
I don't think the inclusion of vehicles should be such a stretch beyond imagination, when you can summon them in multiplayer in CoDMW. Vehicles would allow for larger maps too. If vehicles can work well in Halo games, why not CoDMW2? Motorbikes in tight streets to hunt others (a motorbike can fit almost anywhere strangely and be cool, think Delta Force movie). Jeeps, Humvees, APCs, tanks in more open areas etc.
Imagine what a capture the flag game would be like if vehicles were present, especially if helicopters were thrown in, even on both sides.
Elsewhere, I suggested healing comrades, which would add an edge the game. Maybe a medic class like TF, if not letting everyone heal for a limited amount of times per game. Maybe even heal yourself a bit too.
No offense, but isn't kind of pretensions of you to criticize people like this? I don't mind you posting a blog about what you think is a good idea or not. But your basically being mean to people by saying that what they think should be added is retarded. It's just their opinions man, get over it.
@cowboy ttop
I love COD4, my last comment was just me being a smartass, mainly for reasons known to few.
I see what you're all saying about me rude to the "suggestions" people made. Maybe taking a hard look at the tweeter suggestions VS the taste I gave you would put you in the same mood. A lot of the ideas just make me go "wtf?" to myself, a lot.
Suggestions about making the game easier... when the game already is easy... or suggestions to counter snipers/campers... players with intellect. That's such bs.
Here's an idea. Explain your opinion and the reasons why you feel that way with maturity.
Enough with this attitude that you are this master gamer and everyone else a 'baby' who doesn't know shit about games. Talking like that does not make you cool. Grow up.
@sicknasty
No one is trying to be cool here. But if you've been on xbl long enough you too might get sick of how shit people are, not just at gaming, but at thinking, or talking back. That carried over to IW's tweeter suggestion box.
When I hear ideas that are not well-thought through, it tells me these kids don't think before they speak. Why make a half-assed suggestion that could potentially make a game worse?
