Dont even really know where to start on this, but Im about sick of developers having to spend so much time and resources on " online" modes and balance.
I am mostly a sports and FPS gamer and its come to the point to where every game that has an online component has been nothing more than a negative experience.
Sports games in general usually revolve around either A) losers pulling the plug at the last second, or B) resorting to any and all AI / programming glitches found in the game to guarentee a win. Doesnt matter if its Madden, NCAA, 2k10 etc...always results in some BS the majority of the time.
Recently spent some time with the Modern Warfare game online and its nothing more than a cheat fest as well. Those stupid kill streaks ruin any sort of balance to the game. Joined 3 different types of games today and played over 20 different matches and in every one of them there is rampant cheating / boosting going on which kills the experience. Someone getting a legit kill streak and popping out the choppers / bombers etc isnt the issue...but when you look at the scoreboard and see a dude at 26 kills and 0 deaths using a nuke within 5 mins of the game starting, something is up. Sure enough....there is a prestiged lvl 70 on your team that somehow amazingly has 0 kills and 25 deaths and just allowing his buddy to nuke each game.
If this was just a random occurence, I wouldnt care....but each game you join now has someone in it doing the same crap.
I really wish they would go back to focusing on the single player aspect as there is no way to prevent all the cheating / glitching that goes on in these games.
Now certainly I realize I may be in the minority here, but all this focus on the online aspect of games these days is certainly leaving a bad taste in my mouth since there is no way to prevent the thousands of others in ruining the experience.
