(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); There are plenty of other issues with this game that have not been addressed, but it's the extended killstreaks that have changed the way the game is played,compared to COD 4&5.
I'm not saying the game was ruined, it is just different.

If you think extended killstreaks ruined the game,Do you think the BareBones modes are going to fix it?
My guess is most people will try them out and go back to regular modes, because they like them.
Leaving out all the crap wrong with this game ( MLC,OMA tubing, the list is long and not going to be addressed ).
Did extended killstreaks ruin this game and is BareBones going to fix it for you?

I defeated!
Honestly, i have to say no, the extended killstreaks havent ruined the game. simply because you can pull out a stinger and boom its gone. when i join a game in session and it puts me in the middle of spawn rape by a chopper gunner, than yeah they ruin it.

there are so many other problems in this game without even getting into the killstreaks

once again here you are continuing to boost each other. i have reported you both. there definitely is something wrong with camping , look around corners and use caution? so u stay in a corner and just wait for ppl to pass by and get your kills? nevermind the k/s didnt mess up the game people like you who argue about its cool to hug corners is the reason is got ruined. stop boosting each other in camping forums and stop HIDING.. DO YOU HIDE IN A CORNER IN CAMPAIGN MODE , THEN WHY IN MP? ITS STILL A GAME , YOU WILL NOT DIE , GAIN MONEY FROM HAVING K/D RATIO so stop defending your BFF and stop messing fps community up

I should have changed the thread title to ruined or changed MW2?
I think its been changed but not ruined.
With the barebones modes out or coming to PS3,I wonder how many people will keep playing them?
It must have been easier to remove all killstreaks than put in 3,5,7 and make it more like COD4. That would have gotten more long term play.
As far as the camping issue, nearly all FPS games has it.
Extended killstreaks promote it, but you watch and see how many continue to play regular modes.
No killstreaks at all is going to be boring.
A final point.
There are as many REP boosters on NGU as campers and challenge boosters on MW2 combined.
280 reps in 6 months makes for a great writer or a bit of a booster?

Killstreaks made the game better. Overpowered perk setups and noob tubes brought it down a little bit.

because originally they thought it would be hard enough to achieve and that it would really be an accomplishment getting one (+ they believed that if you were doing well enough to get 25 kills without dieing you should be rewarded with something great of give the other team something like a mercy rule). In the very beggining of this game, that was true, nukes were very few and far between. then as people started abuseing certain parts of the game like MLC + care package, and the overpowered killstreaks then they became more and more common. That dosent even consider the number of people who boosted for them. The idea of a super high killstreak is a good idea but they just made the killstreak too easy to get. In cod4 a 25 killstreak is a true achievement, in Mw2 its a failed idea to reward their players.

That said, it is not the killstreaks that ruined mw2 or was it the broken game mechanics, it is not even the people that use them that ruin the game. It is simply IW's fault for allowing them to be in there. in cod4 noobtubes were an annoyance, it is there fault that they became a problem. just like how there is no need for commando, sure the pro is fun where you dont take fall damage but that could just as easily be part of ninja pro or some other perk. it is also their fault for not fixing them with many simple fixes that i wont bother mentioning here. There will always be something in a game that is considered "noobish" or "broken" and complained about. The difference between those problems and the ones with MW2 however, are that those problems do not ruin an otherwise decent game.
