Was playing Underpass. Got my first Emergency Airdrop. Excitedly used it. Didn't look up. All 4 crates landed on the overpass :|

Fignuts 11-11-2009 08:05 PM

lol I see so many people calling in airdrops indoors.

Got to call in the pavlow a couple times. That and the harrier strike usually rack me up a ton of kills. Went 38-7 on terminal because of them. Went from 7-0 to 20-0 in the span of three minutes, after calling in the harriers.

Blitz 11-11-2009 08:07 PM

Dunno if they actually changed it or I'm just better, but the M4A1 is beastly in this game.

Also doing some nice work with the RPD. Silencers on LMGs are lovely.

Fignuts 11-11-2009 09:07 PM

Yeah LMGs are my weapon of choice, seconded with sniper rifles.

Although I'm really digging the SCAR assault rifle atm.
Especially with the scrambler perk.

LoDownM 11-11-2009 09:31 PM

I was playing, uh still haven't gotten the names down for the levels, the one where its raining, and watched my teammate drop his airdrop and kill 2 of our teammates.

Fignuts 11-11-2009 09:54 PM

lol yeah, was just about to say the drops can kill you. Been hoping to sneak up on a camper, and plant one on him.

The Genius 11-11-2009 10:27 PM

D Mac 11-11-2009 10:27 PM

Play the game. :p

D Mac 11-11-2009 10:28 PM

Yeah I'm getting drunk right now and playing this. It rules.

The Genius 11-11-2009 11:18 PM

that 'public enemy' with the great white shark logo is sick!

OssMan 11-11-2009 11:58 PM

I get nothing but lag. Oh well

D Mac 11-12-2009 12:23 AM

That's PS3 for you.

LoDownM 11-12-2009 12:25 AM

I've had 2 games lag out on PS3. Don't know what Assman is talking about.

Shaggy 11-12-2009 02:36 AM

I figured out how to stay talking to your friends during Team Deathmatch....instead of a party you need to do private chat....

I love playing this online even though I pretty much suck at it most of the time.

Ermaximus 11-12-2009 09:03 AM

Campaign is much easier than COD 4, yet The Pit was much harder than COD4. Also loving the drones. Great addition.

OssMan 11-12-2009 09:10 AM

Nah prolly my shitty college connection that can't even properly load a YouTube video. It worked fine last night though

Johnny McNasty 11-12-2009 06:27 PM

Really love this game. It definitely lived up to the hype for me. Story is as epic as it gets, Spec Ops is really fun, and multiplayer is intense.

Story mode really draws out emotions while your playing which is always a good thing. After I beat it I turned around and started a new one its just so much fun.

The customization in multiplayer is nuts, I feel overwhelmed with the choices of perks and attachments I can use. Mostly been sticking with the ACR assault rifle with Sleight of hand, Stopping power, and Steady Aim. Favorite new perk is definitely bling, assault rifle with a grenade launcher and a red dot sight is win. Up to level 51 right now, but plan on gaming through the night with some friends.

Anyways I'm getting off here, and jumping right back into it.

LoDownM 11-12-2009 06:38 PM

HATE THE HEARTBEAT SENSOR SO FUCKING MUCH WANT TO PUNCH EVERY BABY BORN DURING PRODUCTION THATS LISTED IN THE CREDITS :mad:

Also dissapointed I went from 90k rank to 250k ranked from not playing yesterday :'(

G 11-12-2009 08:42 PM

i :heart: the heartbeat sensor. just got one today, and my k/d has been been improving. i'm not just running around like a lunatic anymore.

Fignuts 11-12-2009 08:50 PM

Does the scrambler perk also effect the heartbeat sensor.

G 11-12-2009 08:50 PM

no, but ninja does

LoDownM 11-12-2009 08:56 PM

Im 2 ranks away from unlocking ninja, untill then, I hate it.

Ogen 11-12-2009 09:03 PM

Does scrambler stop you showing up as a target for predators do you know?

ClockShot 11-12-2009 09:03 PM

SPOILER: show
Just played some more campaign and sprung Capt. Price from the Gulag. Big markout moment for me.

No, cold blooded makes you invisible from everything except the heartbeat monitor.

Ogen 11-12-2009 09:31 PM

The drop things are way too powerful, was playing earlier won a FFA 30-5 only one other person got to 10 because I managed to grab someone elses pavelow at the start then got one of my own. Can see missle launchers becoming a very common secondary weapon to conteract all the stuff in the air.

Ogen 11-12-2009 09:32 PM

So do you need all 3 too be totally utterly invisible? Thats overkill and a half.

LoDownM 11-12-2009 09:38 PM

I love when people drop their airdrops on themselves. Came around a corner just as the guy died from his air drop, got a pave low out of it :D

Anyone drop a nuke yet or get close to it? I get to 10 in row and generally die, never gonna get it.

Fignuts 11-12-2009 10:07 PM

I got 25 in a row, thanks to harriers and a pavlow, but I hadn't unlocked the nuke yet.

OssMan 11-12-2009 10:20 PM

Let's go ECG

Kalyx triaD 11-12-2009 10:30 PM

Played an offline session with Khuntri and one other. Pretty fun, WITHOUT PERKS. We really like Terminal. Probably gonna play this offline from now on.

UNLESS you guys are down with custom games with no perks.

?!?

RoXer 11-12-2009 10:50 PM

Kills from perks from airdrops DO NOT count toward your killstreak btw if anyone thought otherwise.

Dug myself out of a huge hole just now. I was about 150 kills back to get to 1:1 because I was dicking around with the riot shield trying to get those challenges. Dead even right now though thanks to a 42-13 game and another 30-something game.

G can attest to this.

G 11-12-2009 10:59 PM

no, he's lying

Kalyx what is your problem with perks exactly?

When I play an FPS, there's certain elements that I believe makes for a genral shooting game in regards to gameplay. These elements can be found in real gun fights - no matter how outlandish a shooter may be (you still need to take cover in Halo).

Here comes CoD with Perks that negate these fundamentals. I will say one, and only one, scenario to elaborate my issues with this feature:

There's a sniper housed up in a window, right? He's picking off the other team willy-nilly and he's racking up points. Everything's all good. That is until somebody finds him and coordinates a flank with a teammate to shut him down. Now let's evaluate this event from a CoD game and a respectable game.

- In CoD, this fucker may have a Perk that keeps him invisible from radar even has he shoots his sniper rifle. GAY

- In CoD, even if someone were to get the drop on him, he may have an armor Perk that gives him an extra half-second to retaliate and take out his enemy.

- In CoD, things like flanking and ambushes are complicated by buffers that can change an otherwise expected outcome.

So what does Infinity Ward do? They make counter-Perks. All this does if create that exploitation arms race I spoke about - when it could be solved by NOT. HAVING. PERKS.

Perks make an otherwise great FPS (we had fun without them) into an annoying... joke. And in no way can someone say they had more fun than we did with Perks. That is of course if we were arguing fun. We're talking about game balance and elements that betray the underlying engine of a certain genre. It's like Madden Cards that do silly shit like increase fumbles and make certain players faster or stronger. From what I know the Madden community don't like that shit. And I feel like Perks in CoD make the game into a joke, riddled with 'chance' outcomes like, "I hope he doesn't have armor" or "I hope we can find this guy since he's not on radar."

This to me isn't skill, it's Fiesta Mode in Halo. A party feature, not to be taken as seriously as most of the CoD community takes it. I actually respect CoD as a military strategy game, but NOT with Perks on. Than it's Smash Bros.

LoDownM 11-13-2009 12:29 AM

Sounds like Kalyx sucks at first person shooters that aren't over hyped garbage like Halo.
