What sux about CoD2 online?

As I posted in the BASH Boards, with the launch of CoD4 imminent (if November is imminent in July!) ...we can now fess up...what really irritated you about CoD2 multiplayer?

For me:

1. The lack of PunkBuster out of the box.

2. Punkbuster: do a Google search right now of all the folks being booted from servers with legit copies of CoD2 and no hacks - even virgin copies with no mods are being booted. This is unacceptable from a piece of software that came out last year. It's getting worse at every revision.

3. I confess. I still hate most of the weapons with the exception of the Thompson, Nagant and the M1 Garand. They all feel uncomfortable to me. And those pistols seem totally wimpy. I would also include the Kar in that list, but I found it wimpy.

4. A pet peeve: there are no street signs/addresses on the maps...how am i supposed to tell my clanmates where the enemy is.

5. Lack of a sprint key...i really feel the need for speed sometimes!

6. The rifles have no lethality. The use of rifles should be rewarded. They should be one hit one kill weapons. I know its a game - but hit someone in the chest with a round ...they go down in my book. That's what should happen.

7. Gravity has no effect on ranged shots.

8. There is a huge barrage of text messages and warnings in the game and they take your eye away from the action. They all appear right at eye level. put the text messages, including the chat box away from the action!

And here are a few to round things out from some of our readers:

9. The pellet spread of the SHOTGUN! It's a damn joke!
10. Grenade icons (he doesn't want them)
11. Hit blips (he doesn't need them)
12. Red dots on the compass (he abhors them)
13. Recoil-less weapons (too easy to fire and stay aimed)
14. Weapons are too easy to aim (no pulse?)

Do you have some CoD2 peeves? Get them off your chest and register on the forums and continue this thread.
