Is your guy just standing there typing at a briefcase when you control the airships? I guess that would explain why it has ended abruptly a couple times

Yeah you are just standing there using a laptop when using some of them. It's doesn't interrupt them when you die tho, prolly getting shot down.

I find a corner or something before I open the laptop.

Yeah, you are completely vulnerable, so finding a good hiding spot to keep you streak going in vital.

If you get killed, you will reswawn automatically when you are done
If you are getting shot at you will hear a warning sound from the chopper/etc
If you get shot down the controller will vibrate

Don't have a vibrating controller. I thought the warning sound was just the sound the AC130 made when shooting out the flares.

Yeah, when it shoots out the flares, you have two, when it makes that warning sound twice next missile brings you down.

I prestiged, just for the extra class and a custom title I cant get otherwise.

Only thing that truly pisses me off about it is I have to wait about 30 levels to get the stinger because my teammates are too fucking stupid to shoot anything down.

Think I'm done with this game till the map pack. Sick of the maps. Played for 5 hours tonight, didn't play Scrapyard or Favela once. God, can't even count how many times I did Afghan tonight.

There is sometimes, where the map times out, server disc, etc where I play the same fucking map like 5-6 times out og 10 and its always highrise or rust which I hate beyond belief.

Had my best game of Search and Destroy last night on favela. Went 20 and 2 with a couple assists thrown in as well. Funny thing was I didn't think I was doing so well until like the fourth round when I got a harrier and went to drop it, then noticed I also had a predator to drop, then after dropping it, I realized I had another predator to drop.

Closest person to me on my team had 3 kills I think. Friend I was playing with had like 1 kill and a ton of deaths. Might have embarrassed myself in the post game lobby, as I was quite ecstatic.

For what ever reason rust does not come up in the PS3 version only if you play offline.

My fav levels are Scrapyard, Highrise, and terminal.

I get Rust alot Savior. You just must be lucky and never get it.

The 360 Patch re-entered certification Friday, so shouldn't be too long now.

It comes up alot and you basically fight to have an even k/d to not hinder your team.

My favorite levels are Wasteland, Derail and Afghan.

does it only come up in FFA or TDM? Because I only played those a few times.

Wonder how long it will be before the first map pack. March maybe?

I remember them saying sometime in the spring, I could be wrong though.

^ The first is tentatively set for Spring 2010. And the packs are going to be timed 360 exclusives to boot.

FFA I don't know, I don't play it a lot. Merc. TDM for sure though.

So, in hardcore, the Aug with the grip and silencer is pretty rape. It has such ridiculous range and accuracy. And it is one shot kill.

The AUG is for men who can't handle a real LMG.

lol what

LMGs are pretty terrible in general. The Aug being a saving grace for their use is hardly insulting.

Actually, that comes mostly from the fact that I despise using stopping power. I just think there are much better perks in the slot. LMGs pretty much need stopping power in regular games to be effective killing machines.

This really couldn't be further from the truth.

You could explain.

Honestly, I find LMGs to be pretty shit. The only reason I said the Aug was any good was in hardcore, because it is literally a one shot kill. Its accuracy doesn't require you to burst fire or anything. Tried the RPD (the supposed other 'good' LMG) in normal play with stopping power, and it didn't perform as well as an assault rifle would in the same situations. Like, I don't know why you would ever choose an LMG over an assault rifle.

Convince me otherwise, because my mind is open for alternate suggestions on how to use LMGs.

LMGs have much more damage than other weapons, they really don't need Stopping Power. They're less accurate because they jump all over the show when you fire them, unless you have a Grip and/or silencer. I use an LMG for my sneaky class sometimes because having one means you can get more damage while having a silencer and Cold Blooded on in normal games. Accuracy still isn't great but it's ok. The ACR's ridiculous accuracy makes it better even on those settings since you can smack the head or body 9/10 straight away. I prestiged, can't wait until I get the ACR back.

What LMG do you prefer?

I tried the RPD with the grip, and couldn't seem to do shit with it. Used it the same as I used the Aug, but it just handled differently and wouldn't HIT anyone. Like, stationary targets, it wouldn't hit.. no accuracy at all and I just couldn't deal with it.. To me, it seems like you would have to have stopping power on, BECAUSE of the accuracy issues.

One of my main complaints is also their up close efficiency. Can't turn fast enough aiming down sights, and hip firing doesn't seem to do much due to the bullets going EVERYWHERE.

My style of play might differ from yours, so maybe that is why I am no good with them? Idk.. I don't use SMGs really either so maybe I am just bad without an assault rifle. lol

I find that I really like scavenger or bling depending on the class, followed by cold blooded or lightweight pro(if I use lightweight, I might also use sleight of hand or marathon for perk 1, and IMO lightweight is only useful with pro).

Dude look at the stats. The L86, RPD, and AUG all deal major damage. MG42 and M240 are much lower, but I've never had a problem using those. Again, you can't say any weapon in this game is bad. Certainly some excel in certain areas, but pretty much everything balances. LMGs are for tanks. They've got a huge magazine capacity so you can pin someone down for a while. Good bullet penetration too. And the RPD and AUG are super accurate. Some of the best iron sights in the game too. Slap a grip on them and you're laughing.

And come on, how do you fault them for not being great close quarters? That's like bitching out the shotguns for not being able to hit someone across the map.

It's all in the user. Look at Icebox a couple of pages back, bitching about the silenced ACR. Practice. Everything has it's uses. When I first got COD4, I hated the M60 and the Mini Uzi with a passion. By the time MW2 came out, they were 2 of my favourite guns in the game.

And for the record, I don't use LMGs a ton because I prefer more mobility, but I like to break out a blinged RPD or AUG when I do. Silencer/grip.

For any of the LMGs, I always equip the silencer. With that I can do almost as well from a distance as I do with most of the assault rifles. And spray-and-pray in close quarters is much, much better.

Same here, except for the grip/silence. Can't live without Scavenger Pro. Only use LMGs to camp the tunnel/hallway in Skidrow till I die mostly, never was a huge fan of them even in MW1.

An LMG class is one of the few where I don't feel like Scavenger is essential, given that it comes with a fair amount of ammo anyways.

Meh. I've been using the Throwing Knife and RPGs like crazy lately, and both those are gone quick.

Used the AUG for a while just so I could have plenty of ammo without using Scavenger. I probably would have kept using it had I not experienced the ACR.

First time playing in a while and my K/D is unusually positive. I don't think I played any less 'gung ho' as I do. Last game was shabby, though.

I've tried out the RPG lately. Useless as anything other than shooting towards a group. Just too damned inaccurate.

I feel naked without it, I cant aim for shit with the SCAR-H anymore :(

They dont need stopping power at all, before I prestiged I had a class set up as

RPD + Thermal/Grip
Stinger

Scavenger (Took the thermal off) or Bling
Cold Blooded
Steady Aim

LMG's are ridicuosly powerful and can be used at close range but it takes loads of practice as they jump. Grip + Steady Aim, helps ALOT.

I practiced using the open sights on the ACR, then put the silencer on after I got comfortable with it.

I think once I ran out of ammo with an LMG before I died, I mean really, is 200 bullets not enough?

Firing into rooms where someone is camping a window is great, also great on derail when you are not holding the office room in the building.

Got more headshots with it per shot than my fucking M16. I use it for splash damage, no need to be accurate.

It is quite hateful on Rust by the way, especially used with Scavenger. ;)

I've pulled off some nice kills with the RPGs. On Rundown I got flashed banged while I was coming around the corner for the bigger bridge, randomly fired a RPG off and hit the pillar of the building, killed 2 people and got the game winning kill.

Didnt get the killcam but last night, my team and the other was tied 7000-7000 and with 2 seconds left I fire a sniper shot

end score?

7200-7000

:cool:

Kinda getting bored with this. Maybe when the new maps come out...

To be honest me too, but I just think it will be another suckfest of glitchitude.

For some reason I have the urge to play World at War again.

I think I will go play GH: Metallica.

You better :p

I'd seen a lot of rumours that the maps would drop March 1st. I'd think they'd be announced by now if that was the case though.

Wouldnt be bad, but still not sure I am going to get it. With all the glitches and headaches and frustration they have given us since launch I want them for free.

HURR DURR MODERN WARFARE 2 WILL BE THE BEST GAME EVER

TOO MANY GLITCHERS FUCK THIS GAME IT IS TERRIBLE I'M PLAYING METALLICA GAME

Had a quick session today, basically clearing some challenges and being an asshole. Blitz arrive for some games as well.

Got my akimbo Desert Eagles so yeah, gonna run around like that for a bit.

Akimbo handguns are nasty.

I can't believe how accurate they can be.

With the Eagles I have to pace my trigger pulls. One time I unloaded wildly with an Eagle on somebody at near point-blank range and missed the entire clip because you cannot shoot it like that.

I had that problem with a single Deagle; the recoil is distracting especially in ADS. Pretty much went away with two because obviously you can't look down the sights. But I think it helps more that you can actually see the bullets fly towards the other guy and you can extrapolate from that to go a little more crazy with the firing.

Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left Trigger

Had one of my best games there, I think you were in on that session. something like 31-6 or 7 on Rundown, I believe? This close to the nuke. Gonna get it sooner or later.

Prestiged with a buddy earlier for the first time. Sucks balls not having shit. Also sucks doing it in glitched to fuck games anymore.

Had a couple experiences with glitching in hardcore even. :(

I had a match tonight that I would have given my left nut to have a stinger, would have been mega experience and since im level 19 (I think) I could have leveled very quickly.

Should have kept your PS3.

:y:

You PS3 owners do know when the map pack comes out for the 360 you won't get it till 30 days later don't you?

Thats fine, been playing glitch free MW2 for 2 weeks almost.

Send me you xbox please :(

joined a match last night against a team of care package glitchers.

End score of the match was 700-7500

I managed one kill and hid for the last 20-30 seconds because I knew if I came outside that building I would be fucked up.

A month??????

Oh no :(

I want some huge maps for sniping, if they have those I think I will get it but if they have Rust/Wetworks type maps I dont think I will.

Sidenote, just went 17-0 with no killstreak rewards on Wasteland (care package was a UAV, Predator Missile kill was stolen and my Harriers were shot down)

Yeah I seen that. Wondered what the fuck my guys were doing. I ran into you a few times just by running around but I had to get Eagle kills, and I was no match for your set.

You were playing against Blitz, not with him?

Still have my PS3, but I play MW2 on 360 because I can play with friends. Only one of my friends owns a PS3, but they also own a 360 and play on it mostly.


That is Sony's problem. Sure they have free online, but people who thrive on multiplayer don't give a shit because most of their friends don't have a PS3. Really have no urge to buy multiplayer games on the PS3 when I can't play them with anyone I know. Sure as hell not going to pay $60 for a primarily multiplayer game when I can't play with people I know. That is half the point.. no way I would want to play this game all the time on my own.

Also, I can't stand Sony's controllers for FPS games. They feel awkward for it compared to the 360 controller. TPS is fine.. MGS feels fine on it. But games like Killzone or whatever just don't feel good to me on the PS3 controller.

Also, MW2 was included with my 360, as was Madden 10. And xbox live. Because I am an awesome bargain shopper.

Wow, how long ago did you get it? I know I wouldnt have sold my Xbox that quick after MW2 released.

He joined Team Deathmatch Express and you know how it likes to shuffle people if they're not in a party. He was on my team maybe one or two games, but we were mostly on different teams.

Oh, I thought he was in your party which confused me for a sec, I have been rocking the magnum lately, love that gun so much.

Bought it brand new at Walmart. Didn't get it from anyone. Had it a little over a month now.

You GOT it with two decent games that shouldnt be in the bargain bin, jesus american walmart kicks ass.

Was a special offer, but yeah. 120GB Elite, 12months XBL, and 4 games (came with Lego Batman and Pure, and I got to CHOOSE the other two. Chose MW2 and Madden 10 obv).

All that, for the regular price of an Elite. $300.

Even so, the price really didn't have anything to do with it. Really just do not want to pay money for a game like that, that I can't play with my friends. :-\

IW and Xbox Live really needs to step up the reporting cheaters complaint with options to report what cheat they are using by regularly updating which cheats to complain against.

Say someone uses the Care Package Glitch

The complain log should be a drop down that includes

Hacking
XP Drain
Wall Glitch
Aim-Bot
Care Package
Javelin Glitch
Other (Specify)

That wuold make loads of people (I.E me, very happy)

as some cunt I filed a complaint against before and put as an avoided player was just in a match with me, called in 4 Emergency Airdrops and only had 11 Kills.

Something really fucking needs to be done about this.

And when you see said cunt again because nothing has been done due to IW rolling in your money, would you be happy that you took the extra time to select the cheat?

If something was done about it yes. Also rumors floating that COD is going to be a subscription game, they are pretty fucking bold or must think we are pretty stupid to pay money on top of xbox live for a game full of glitches and nothing done to the cunts who use them.

Yeah, terrible idea to go subscription due to Battlefield and Medal of Honor stepping up, as well as MAG throwing it's hat in

Finally got my tac knife Magnum back the other day. Did not realize before prestige how much the tac knife helps recoil. It's become a decent mid range weapon for me now.

I want to get a tac Magnum but trying to kill 100 people with the Magnum is not fun.

It's easier when you get Akimbo. Was kicking major ass with akimbo magnum.

Give it a try on smaller maps, like Scrapyard and Terminal where there are loads of corners.

I go slow with the handguns. Don't run around with them, just switch if I come up behind someone.

I get my pistol kills in hardcore. Already 72/75 just from today with the USP.

God, Was such a dick today. Playing in estate I snuck into the house and hid in the bathroom. Everyone came in and I snuck up behind someone sniping, turned in place to see someone come into the room and used my throwing knife, turned and knifed the sniper, picked up my knife and got a guy coming down the stairs, picked it back up went around the corner and got a guy with it climbing up the woodpile in back. Switched to dual magnums and shot a guy with all twelve bullets and lumped out the window. Times like that I wish I recorded my games.

Oh, what's everyones favorite gun of each type? Assault - ACR with thermal Sub - UMP 45 with silencerLight Machine - RPD with gripSniper - Barret with thermal Machine Pistol - PP2000 with rdsShotgun - AA12 with extended clipHandgun - dual magnums Launcher - stinger

RPG atm. That is all.

Was playing with a guy tonight who only used those + scavenger, was pretty crazy.

That's what i've been doing lately lol.

Since I prestiged, I've just been using a silenced Famas. Silenced USP. Sleight of hand pro, lightweight, and commando. Also found that I have done better since upping my sensitivity by 1.

Came across a group of 10th prestige people while playing with Roxer and alvarado earlier. All but one of them on the other team was 10th prestige and they were obviously in a party. They talked a little shit about how they were 10th prestige. Obviously paid for it.

So the game starts, and I go 13-0 before dying. About 5 minutes into the game, and ALL of them had quit. :lol: Don't remember what I ended up going, but it was one of the best games I had all night. Was just on it while playing hardcore S&D earlier. Played with these people on my team who were trying to riot shield boost with eachother the whole game. Was STILL managing to win, and kill 3-4 people on the other team each game. Ended up losing 4-3, but it was through no fault of my own.

A couple friends from my buddys clan xDoMx and I were in a party of 6 tonight and we get matched up against this team with the prefix Prodigy. They are all 10th Prestige and were trash talking us because most of us just prestiged, saying we should just quit because we are going to get beat so bad. So xDoMx team leader says Joker will put a bullet in your head to start the match and I will kill you to finish it (my friend) at the start of the match tells me to snipe cover (which I already had set) and Ghost to stealth cover him, its on wasteland and heres how it went down. I Run forward to start the match, site in and headshot their leader, firewall (leader) then proceeds to take out 7, calls in harriers and gets his chopper gunner (the other 3 teammates swarm the bunker and I and Ghost provide covering sniper fire. He gets a 26 killstreak and drops his nuke. end score was like 6200-800 I went 19-1-2 and 3 people on my team (ghost, firewall and gib) went deathless (besides nuke death) so we get back to lobby and I make the comment of "See, when you actually play the game to reach 10th prestige, you tend to be quite good at it, so keep practicing" all the while I am getting called a fag and my team are a bunch of bum buddies. Anyway they left the match and firewall proceeded to join every game they were in (they would back out at the lobby when we entered) and eventually signed offline. Was pretty great to be honest.

^LOL pretty funny

Ran into a lot of glitchers tonight, pretty annoying. And none of them even won with all their gay efforts.

@ FAngel:

M16 Holo Sight (Yes, still)
M16 Silenced Holo Sight
P90 Akimbo
P90 Silenced
Riot Shield

I have been using pretty much nothing but magnums and throwing knives lately since I learned to use both quite well.
