Modern Warfare 2's Disappointing Nintendo DS Port

Ойындар

Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most revered FPS games of all time-- but what about its DS port? Kacey finds out what N-Space learned from their mistakes... and what they didn't.

    You should check out dementium the ward and dementium 2 on the ds. They are FPS survival horror games. There is a solid effort behind it and while dementium: the ward sort of missed the mark for me, dementium 2 was really great. The history behind it is interesting too, I would love to see videos of you covering these 2 games. Also, the horror element is done really well considering its on the freaking DS of all things!

And despite the portuguese language being similar to english, some of the most used words in both languages are very different In case of point: yes = sim Please = por favor/por obséquio Hello = olá/oi Gun = arma (considering that this word probably is used several times in a war) War = guerra

    Yeah every COD DS game after 4 makes enemies do insane amounts of damage. World at War suffers from every single rifle being A: a sniper and B: having the exact fucking same model, a Kar98K/Lee Enfield/Mosin Nagant are all exactly the same aside from fire sound (and then you find a Mosin Nagant in the Pacific.), this also means most levels have 3 weapons, your faction SMG, your faction pistol (can't get to use German pistols outside of MP) and the enemy SMG and sometimes a gimmick 4th weapon. (Rocket, flamethrower or machine gun.) I think Black Ops DS is at least interesting enough (and they awkwardly phrase dialogue to avoid spoiling the console verisons) but I feel every COD DS game after 4 is a step-back. (Especially since in COD 4 DS, you'd have 5-7 weapons per level, while it feels like it's 4, including your starting weapons, most of the time in the later titles.)

    Funnily enough, World at War DS was actually one of the better entries in the series. Less verticality, more open maps, frame rate was better and the new assets look really good. The slower firing rate of the WWII guns also made aiming and hitting targets easier since the bullet spread wasn't all over the place.
