Overall balance in MP and then and then not just cut health to 30% in HC mode making fast guns become OP.

Make the hit detection mean more and have different effects or something for balance.

 

[MrPing1000]

A less silly plot (omg nuke crawling) and the removal of invisible monster closests that last until u cross a certain invisible line.

Remove martyr and give people not doing to well some sorta hand instead of having them die over and over to the fucker thats doing well.

 

[The Librarian]

In all seriousness, though, I liked the way IW handled the achievements for CoD4. I like having campaign-only achievements, though multiplayer ones that require you to "play X amount of games" or "get to X rank" are okay with me.

 

[nelkon and parker]

I would like to be able to attach atleast 2 things to my weapon, if it take up a perk, fine,
but it would be sweet to silence a sniper rifle.

This is a seriously bad idea. The whole point of having a silenced weapon, is that you gain the ability to take down enemies before they can realise where you are.

A sniper does that job anyway. The only time the sniper's target has a chance of surviving is if the sniper misses. At which point his position is revealed, and hence the target can try and take the sniper out.

It'd work fine in non-hardcore modes, unless you're using an M21 and you're really good. It'd ruin hardcore modes, though.

Actually, that's the problem with having a two-attachment perk – in hardcore modes, stopping power or juggernaut or other perks aren't needed, so when you face off against someone with stopping power you're not at a disadvantage like usual. It'd make everything a lot cooler, though.

 

[pringles]

It's been said already but I'll chime in:
No more infinitely respawning enemies.

Also, less obvious invisible triggers where enemies appear, or where the encounter is "over".
More sections where it's possible to use stealth. That also has to do with enemy A.I., I hate how enemies in MW basically knew exactly where you were, if the level design had decided that you couldn't use stealth in that area.
Basically, less scripting and more dynamic gameplay, while still maintaining some of the awesome scripted sequences that are the trademark of the series.

And pretty much all Call of Duty games has that "fake physics-engine" thing, which I don't really like.

 

[Loxley]

~ Get rid of 3x Frag & Martyrdom
~ Nerf the ever-loving shit out of the M16. If the rifle itself is honest-to-god that fucking amazing in real life, then great. But in CoD4 it's unbelievably overpowered.

Essentially, get rid of the things that turn games into "If you're not using this weapon or this perk, you're likely not going to do as well as the people who are." I agree that maybe it would also be better if Juggernaut and Stopping Power were removed, and damage was based soloely off of default weapon stats and player health.

And I can't believe some of you are asking forsilenced sniper rifles. Even secondary attachments to weapons is too much, from my humble point of view.

 

[blindrocket]

Better MP maps

Less "desert" locations

Party system

Host migration that actually works

Clan system

Make Hardcore mode the standard mode for MP.

 

[Rapping Granny]

And also before it even happens I'll say ignore all the posts that try to turn the game into Killzone 2.

Yeah god forbid that killzone mp has some good online features, such as a real Clan/Tournament system that I wish MW2 will have, instead of the retarted put a tag in front of your name and pretend your in a clan.

 

[Mileena]

give people not doing to well some sorta hand instead of having them die over and over to the fucker thats doing well.

Give people a hand for sucking? Seriously CoD4 on consoles is not a hard game to play at all. If you suck at it, you deserve to suck. Also, giving people a hand isn't going to help them get better.

 

[mu-chan]

I play a LOT of COD4 local splitscreen multiplayer and love being able to tweak rules/settings for custom game types, so I would really appreciate the ability to SAVE those custom game types.

And in case someone at Infinity Ward is skimming over this thread, here it is out in the open for you to see:

ABILITY TO SAVE CUSTOM GAME TYPES, PLEASE!

 

[VaLiancY]

An actual realism mode.

 

[RiverBed]

Let us search for custom games. Let us black list maps that we don't like and favourite ones we do. This way we can join the maps that we like more often. Also if there is only maps available to join that I don't like it can ask me beforehand if I want to join it or wait for something else to come available.

Agreed. I hate having random only maps and that you didn't know what map it was until it start loading. This is especially ridiculous since I payed money for three maps that I only had a chance to play in them whenever the random system brought it up. I probably played Killhous for like 5 times only...

I like how Killzone 2 lets you vote for the next map- even though most people blindly pick the top one, yet still.

Also, you should be able to select servers by region and to see a room's connection quality before actually waiting and then starting a match.

Finally, toned down the grenade body magnet waaaaaaaay down. Throwing a grenade should take skill, timing and accuracy not just, you know, an arm...

These are little things that amazes why the biggest FPS game in the industry doesn't do even though lesser, smaller games do it. These aren't wish-lists and fancy over the top demands here. I am not playing an average mediocre game either. This is Call of fucking Duty 4: the sequel.

 

[Hellion]

Remove Martyrdom and Last Stand.

ADD More Guns like the Magpul Masada, FN SCAR , Famas , Galil and XM8

 

[Defuser]

Making sure Treyarch doesn't get it's dirty hands on it.

 

[t4ng0]

I want more unique, SWAT/assassination style missions, and less of the 'kill 30 guys in this area, rinse, repeat'. I'm talking silencers, flash bangs, snipers, etc. Also, Veteran essentially came down to knowing where enemies would be, and being patient until they popped their heads out. Make Veteran a legitimately different experience other than just improving enemies' accuracy and damage.

 

[smik]

Cant believe people haven't mentioned this

REGION FILTER: similar to W@W where i can search strictly locally or worldwide This is a must for me.

MP mode for Last Man Standing would be a great addition to multiplayer and mix things up as far as gameplay goes.




Good things to take from this thread from other suggestions




I would like no infinitely respawning enemy waves and I would like better squad AI for the single player.

If I shoot an enemy and he goes in last stand I automatically get the kill, and whoever finishes him off gets the assist.

No Vehicles in MP no matter how good you think there are implemented....just say NO IW

More maps & guns, mainly

Customisable MP Character (cosmetic only)

More support from IW IE More DLC & post release patch support







Modes

Horde, Terrorist Hunt mode that can be done in co-op
Capture the flag to be included
No Respawn Mode for Multiplayer: Last Man Standing


also this

Air strikes that drop dogs via parachute.

 

[Puck]

No vehicles, good spawn points, greater variety of maps (snipers havens, etc)

 

[SkySonata]

bring back BASE ASSAULT.

That shit was fun!!!!!!!!

 

[Deacan]

Give us the L85A1.

 

[maus]

just give us infinite grenade launcher ammo and make the only achievement to kill 20,000 people with it

 

[NIN90]

Make Hardcore mode the standard mode for MP.

 

[Mohonky]

REGION FILTER: similar to W@W where i can search strictly locally or worldwide This is a must for me.

I think this is a given. Even Infinity Ward did a pretty good job getting COD4 to find decent matches, where the game launched finding Aussie matches was a nightmare I think we didn't really have any drama's midway through the year it seemed pretty well sort.

World At War, despite the fact I wasn't the biggest fan of the WWII setting eliminated the problem of searching for games entirely with the region filter; I think Infinity Ward will continue with the region filter. I suspect WaW incorporated it because of the barage of shit that the forums were copping with people outside the US complaining. I'm very confident we won't see that again and the region filter will become a mainstay in the Call of Duty games.

Being that I haven't really played a lot of World At War, most of my recommendations come straight from playing Modern Warfare;

- Matyrdom: lose it. It's fucking cheap
- Intelligent increment in difficulty. Being spammed with infinite spawning enemies who continually bombard you with grenades is not difficulty, it's just ridiculous. Completing Veteran felt part skill / familiarity and a shit load of luck.

Nothing else springs to mind really....a shit tonne of maps would be nice

 

[PnCIa]

Make a good singleplayer campaign. You know, not something were your very steps are scripted. Create some good AI and make the game more open. Good graphics would be a plus.

 

[Kamakazie!]

I would like no infinitely respawning enemy waves............

- This (It would mean improving the level design somewhat too which is a bonus).
- Less grenade spam from the AI.

I don't care for the multiplayer so they can do what they like with that. If they made some major changes then it might make me interested. I'll be there for the SP campaign if it offers a significant improvement over 4.

 

[Eccocid]

This may be harsh but i want weapon weight just like in Kz2 in next Cod..After getting used to KZ2 controls i tried to play Cod4 and it was terrible..Weapons feel same and never affect your aiming speed. It feels like they are made of paper.

I think more shooter games should add different weight for weapons.

 

[Captain N]

I would like to have stats for each weapon and to be able to look at them while waiting for a game to start.

 

[Tomcat]

Cant believe people haven't mentioned this

REGION FILTER: similar to W@W where i can search strictly locally or worldwide This is a must for me.

yes region filter is a must

P.S.: Treyarch should show epic how region filter is done right

 

[NotWii]

Better mission scenarios
COD4 had some standout scenarios like the car ride, sniper mission, nuclear blast, gunship.
But overall it PALED in comparison to COD1 with it's epic stalingrad, berlin, pegasus bridge, normandy missions.

And so did COD2

 

[Azzwanker]

Make a ''roof'' on everey level so the granade launcher whores cant kill people over the whole level.

 

[DubloSeven]

I'd love a new match browser. The current one is antiquated as hell.

More attachments, weapons, and visual customization of your character.

 

[G0DLIKE]

Add a region filter, please.
Slightly bigger maps - spawn killing is rampant.
An option to turn stat tracking off - Friends let the stats down.
An option to choose different 3x 5x and 7x kill abilities.
Subtle gore.

 

[Dabanton]

The scripting is a big part of what makes CoD the game it is. It works most of the time and to mess around with that could fuck things up.

 

[bj00rn_]

I would like no infinitely respawning enemy waves

This. Basically one of the few but huge flaws (Grenade rain from the AI is another though..) in the game in my opinion. Let's hope it's toned down or completely fixed for Modern Warfare 2.

 

[Raxus]

Single player:
Remove the infinite spawns
Co-op just seems standard now.
Keep xbox epeen points to single player don't listen to the idiots that want the multiplayer ones.
The single player was really well crafted just make sure to include one or two "relax maps to remove the tension similar to Death From Above.

Multiplayer:
Remove invincibility frames from last stand and whoever gets the guy into last stand is awarded the kill.
More points for assists depending the damage you do to a guy.
I can't emphasize this enough. Put in a death streak bonus. if a person dies 3 times in a row kill-less then he gets a UAV, 5 times he gets stronger bullets, etc. this way losing teams don't get punished so bad and it makes it more accessible to new comers.
Nerf the timer on martydom by .5 seconds and it would make a huge difference.
Lose juggernaut. Fuck that perk, seriously. Replace it with a faster recovery perk.
More custom slots, and none of the W@W unlock crap.
NEVER EVER put vehicles in MP. EVER.
Bring back Crash and Crossfire.
A melee perk, 2 gun addons (excluding grenade launchers) perk, and a 4th perk slot for teamwork (i.e. command perks like increased power, rate of fire, etc. is given your surrounding team mates if they are close to you. Make it nearly unnoticeable unless you have 3 people together to reap the reward).
Matchmaking has been covered pretty well. Region select and better host migration.

 

[sullytao]

One last thing from me. If someone quits dont end the game! Do what Halo does and give it to the next person.

 

[Blutonium]

10 kills is a nuke.

 

[Eccocid]

10 kills is a nuke.

This!

 

[The Librarian]

10 kills is a nuke.

That would be amazingly awesome.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

10 kills is a nuke.

Oh this :lol :lol

 

[RiverBed]

Don't throw me in a match that is ending in 3 seconds...

 

[blindrocket]

How about some new weapons?

The military has had a "goo gun" in development for some time now.

Army Reloads on Sticky Foam Weaponry

:lol

 

[TimeLike]

Make ALL the maps accessible during local multiplayer. Give access to custom classes during local multiplayer. COD4 local multi sucks. Halo3 crushes it.

 

[NubCakes09]

Single Player:
-Better storyline
-No infinitely respawning enemies
-No A.I. nade spam

Multiplayer
-Split screen LAN
-No Martydom, Juggernaut or Stopping Power Perks
-More than one attachment per gun
-A bare-bones playlist
-Customizable Characters
-No Vehicles

 

[cameltoe]

Keep the launched nades from WaW, where if they are fired in the first 10 seconds or so they do not arm.

Fix the hit detection/net code...also allow us to select the search locale like in WaW.

Yes, allow for 2 attachments. Make it the new overkill perk.

Use the WaW assist point system.

Up the max sensitivty a few notches....I need a touch more speed.

Last stand needs a overhaul.

Numeric ping please.

AS and Heli are fine...keep those as they are. And the kill streaks are fine as is...no need for something at 10 or 15.

 

[Feral Youth]

Not much really, but on the multiplayer side I want EVERY map in Modern Warfare 1 available as FREE download in Modern Warfare 2.

FREE.

Oh and some type of assault mode.

Host migration..

 

[sullytao]

I'm really surprised at the amount of people asking for better story. True the plot is something we have seen done to death but I thought it was executed in such a great way.

It never intruded on the gameplay.

Kept things as real as possible.

Made you care about the characters and it made you want to see what happens next.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Destructible environments.

I want to be able to destroy entire buildings with bombs and shit.

 

[No_Style]

Full Recovery pretty much got all my complaints in his first post.

Achievements & Trophies are fine as long as they are along the lines of:

Win 1st online match
Win 50th online match
Win 5 online matches in a row
Enter Prestige Mode

Anything else outside this mindset is just asking for a punch in the face.

How about they just don't do any online achievement like in COD4?
