one sided and biased opinion
Now, I know that I'm new to these forums, but until recently I didn't even know that they existed.
I have been playing MW since I first saw it last year, about February of 2012 . I found it because I play Crime City and trust me when I say that I like MW much more than I like CC. That being said, I have major issues, not just with this game, but the entire mechanics behind this company.
My major issue, and I have written to support many times to no avail or just a reply stating "we thank your for your opinion, we will forward it to the developer", my major issue with the mechanics is that your attack and defense are a fluctuating number. Never set, and the company at one point sent me a response stating that there is a random variable to keep the game random.
WTF
A random variable? Let me ask something. If your playing say Final Fantasy (and I know that this isn't final fantasy) and you have an HP of say 1200 and you go attack something and all of a sudden your HP is 800, are you just going to say its random?
There should be no randomness in the Attack and Defense numbers. I have gone into battle against someone, fought them, and lost. After, I will look at the results and the numbers are showing that I should have won. Like say i have 8k attack and the other guys defense reads 5k. Of coarse we can't see what he's dumped into his personal stats, which is bogus btw, but the defense number you see should be your total defense number, not just the defense number of the equipment that you have. Another example of this problem is that you will attack someone, and say your attack is 6k and they have a defense of 5k that first attack, so you win, and you attack a second time, your attack is now 3k and their defense is now 8k. On what level do you even call this fair? How does this add to game play goodness? It doesn't. This is by far the most infuriating problem I have ever faced in any game, and I was part of the Nintendo Era, so I have played some really bad games, but that being said, I have never come across a game that has this much of a random factor in attack and defense values. Especially one that is a unit buying game.
Do yourself a favor and check this website:

This is a game I used to play a lot a number of years ago. This game is entirely the same, but with no graphics. You have troops, you have weapons and defense equipment. You have money making buildings and even defense buildings, and there is a randomness to the attack and defense. BUT NOT ON THE SCALE THAT MODERN WAR AND CRIME CITY HAVE.
Modern War and Crime City pretty much can't count on half of your attack or defense. Darkthrone, we're talking maybe a couple of points, and that's only because of the personal stats. After an attack on Darkthrone you can see the persons total defense capability. You can send in a spy to see their defense capability before you attack. Darkthrone is old, and they have a new one out that isn't really all that different, just more snazzy and on a different server, but is still more stable when it comes to game mechanics.
a side note, and I know that this is turning into a rant but that is because I have the time to write all the stuff frustrating me since I first started playing this game, once you attack someone, you should be able to see their stats, personal or otherwise. Either that or come up with some spy troops that are lost that you can send in to find out what the stats are before you attack someone an then find out that they have a way high defense because they spend entirely to much time playing this game or have invested way to much REAL MONEY and are pay to win and then have your name on there news so that they can come and attack you for possibly the next 2 weeks depending on how often that particular person is attacked... OY!!
Another major issue i have: Lets assume I have 35 allies, and I first log in for the day, and the first thing I notice is that all my buildings have been hit. The first thing anyone would do is check who dun did the deed. So you go to your news and find the person and click "REVENGE" and you will notice that every so often you are getting attacked by someone with say 350 allies. HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THE GAMING GODS IS THAT FAIR? In the name of The Daktylos Herakles (Greek God responsible for founding the Olympic Games) please fix this major issue.
These are the major issues I have found with this game. Not to say that there isn't any more or that I don't like the game.
As it stands, I love MW. When I'm not being screwed by a bizarre game mechanic or getting reamed (really, I can't say the work Skrew but spelled right) in the pooper by someone with 10 times the amount of allies than I have, the game is great.
The only other thing I can say is, how the hell is pirate united nation taking control of everything... are they just a group of people that have dumped thousands of dollars into this game? are they cheaters? are they developers with the game and therefor have access to change their stats therefor making all this faction war stuff another piece of bogusness?
These are my major concerns... my major issues... I hope that this is read by someone and it sinks in a little... I have tried to be as constructive as possible and not to rude... if i have offended a dev, im sorry.... if i offended a sniveling pay to win dweeb fearful of the game being fair to all, piss off ... (i can't use the word Skrew spelled right but i can say piss.... that makes a lot of sense) .... and if i have offended a forum troll, get a life...
