My War Machine class couples twin P90's with a speedy reload and fast walking speed, expressing my abandon of my usual conventions for straight run-n-gunning. The Stun Grenade adds to it's aggressive elements. The class/playstyle saved our team more than once, and I was happy since our session was the first time I put it to heavy usage.

Can't imagine why'd you choose to talk shit out of the blue. We were comrades just now.

:(

All we need is Guitar Hero Metallica 2 or Rock Band Metallica and we are set. :y:

I have thought of a sequel to GH:Met that would have live recordings (Creeping Death is epic live) and maybe some special material from the band themselves. It would be awesome and Activision can bank on selling that baby.

Good night for me. Not one match that I didn't get 17-30 kills, and 3-10 deaths. Even got 2,000 something points in domination for singlehandedly capturing all the control points for me team. Unfortunately the rest of my team was awful. Normally I don't get frustrated with that, because I have bad games too, sometimes, but for like 5 matches in a row, there was no one on my team even close to my score, or any of the top players on the other team either. Sucks when you do a great job and the rest of the team is more concerned with camping and boosting their kill count than winning the match.

any comprehensive sites out there that list all the emblems and call signs?

Not yet I don't think. Has anyone else gotten the ghost emblem?

I got it after a match where I went unkilled, and got the highest score. More to do with how bad the other team was, than my own skill, sadly.

You mean the one of ghost's head?

Yeah. It might have unlocked when I ranked up in the same match, and it was just coincidance. That's why I'm asking.

I got it pretty early, 14ish. Been using that with the Ghostrider callsign, was using Kleptomaniac till I got that one on locked

14ish is just a guess, had it for awhile now.

Finished the first act on Veteran. Not too difficult, but the last mission where you chase the guy through the Favela took me forever. Such a fucking bitch. Too many damn guys. Must have died 57 times.

Finish the challenge for using it x amount of times I think.

Saw a couple of dudes on level 29 of prestige already. Their 360s must be burning up.

I really need to get better at this, I haven't managed anything anything better than a 4 kill streak.

Mainly thanks to some players having absurd accuracy and reaction times.

It'll come to you soon enough. Pretty soon you'll the irrational reaction time of a rape victim in the boys locker room.

Tried to play a bit this evening (on PS3), got an update required message. Patch downloads ok, then has an error during install and now the game won't load at all. Anyone else have this problem? What a load of bollocks.

Oh never mind, tried downloading again and now it's fine.

Does anyone know how to play objective gametypes?!?!?!? Jesus Christ the CoD community have shit else but reflex aiming. There's no sense of 'capture team/defense team' during CTF, everyone just runs around. Nobody flanks for shit in Domination, they just keep going the way to a post and hope the enemy forgot about them 15 seconds before. People seem over faggoty for their KD ratio no matter waht gametype they play. Keep in mind the scoring systems weighs priority objectives, which is why I would have the top score in a game while having a negative KD ratio.

The funny thing is, if I so dare mention Halo everyone in the lobby would shit on me. But in Halo, people actually play objective games as they should (more often than not, anyway). Nobody plays the clock when they're ahead in CTF, this in particular pisses me off. We're two ahead, but hey, "let's try to catch the flag some more anyway for shits and giggles!" Right? Wrong. No defense give the other team infiltration options and after everybody spawns from sucking so bad the flag thief is just about home.

I've had bad games with other shooters, but in the community that stressed how hardcore their game was over others, I expected more strategy . My buddy plays SOCOM on PS3 and that community puts just about any other to shame in terms of coordination and execution. I'd think CoD would be like that.

Anyway, I can't wait til I dual wield some Desert Eagles. There's something satisfying about spraying the shit out of a loser.

yeah.

Note that I got more kills than the rest of my team by actually trying to meet the objective of the match. Everyone else was just boosting their kill count.

I feel you on this Kalyx. I hate when people get so anal about their K/D ratio. I was playing HQ the other night and went something like 19 kills and 26 deaths. There was a shithead on my team who went 3/2 b/c he was camped the whole time not even trying to help capture/destroy the HQ. As soon as the game ended the first thing out of his mouth when we got back to the lobby was "Well I was the only person on my team that went positive" and I was like WTF dude.

It is a bit fucking stupid at times. It helps when there's a couple of guys on the mic who are in it to play properly and they tell other people where to go.

Levels like Favela and Karachi are a fucking mess if you have a bunch of dickheads on your team.

Don't know why the campers et al. just don't stick to Deathmatch?

Yeah it is a pain in the ass when my team work on nothing but their kill count while playing objective games. Even worse when the dumb asses are my friends. :mad:

I wish they had more hardcore game modes, loved hardcore headquarters from 4, and hardcore ffa from 5. Speaking of ffa what is with there only being like 4 maps to play ffa on. I see how some of them might be too big,(derail) but some others would work just fine.(karachi) Hope when the new map packs come out they're all playable on ffa. Also demolition is my favorite new game mode definitely, nothing like setting the bomb at both targets at the same time and watching the other team freak out.

Oh and akimbo lever action shotguns are stupendously bad ass.

Potential huge news is Activision might be thinking of charging to play Call of Duty multiplayer in either new modes or future CoD games. It would be similar to play World of Warcraft's monthly fee.

I think thats the problem, they say they are the most hardcore shooter players but only in getting the most kills/best ratio. Instead of viewing the perks as strategy, its seen as extra kill potential.

Its a common problem with a lot of shooters that try strategy, most end up just as run-n-gun or campfests. A few like SOCOM, Halo, and Team Fortress end up succeeding since either strategy is built in by the way of a class-system or by how the levels are designed.

Yeah I'm beginning to get frustrated with people just in it for the kills. Was irritating in a Domination game when 3 of us were trying to grab a heavily defended position B and half the team was just sitting around by C waiting to snipe kills. All this while the other side also held A, so basically they were helping us lose.

It really is a rather fantastic game though isn't it, just great fun. Must start using a different gun at some stage, been using the very first gun the whole time but that with the heartbeat sensor and silencer through Bling Perk is just so fucking amazing. Almost at level 25 that'll be cold blooded unlocked and I go into my uber stealthy hardcore ways

I'm having great success with a sniper rifle and the heartbeat sensor.

I'm not entirely sure why it's letting me use the heartbeat sensor in the preset sniper class when I haven't actually unlocked it yet to use in custom classes, but who am I to argue?

Some of the pro versions of the perks are a bit shit, just unlocked Scrambler Pro and it simply delays claymores detonating when you walk by. I don't think I've seen a claymore in this at all really.

I've seen a few. Most often on Highrise to guard the sneaky route into one side of the building.

I had that, but if you take Cold Blooded you lose Stopping Power. Tried that for one game and got sick of having to pump a million bullets into people only for them to nail me with a couple of shots. Doesn't really get any better than Heartbeat Sensor, Scrambler and Thermo scope on your Sniper rifle, with a souped up machine pistol for running around the place.

Tells you when someone is trying to sneak up on you.

The range on the Heartbeat Sensor is long enough, plus let's you see other dickheads hiding in buildings.

Not much good for the city levels though because it flags up people everywhere and they are on different floors. Becomes more of a problem than a help then.

That too, especially if you're guarding a point in Domination.

Yeah but be playing Hardcore then I think and in Hardcore you don't really need to shoot them much, first shooter will win nearly all the time.

This one mission takes place in the suburbs of Northern Virginia. Fuck yeah

Helps that there is apparently no infinite enemies in this one.

I miss the dedicated PC servers :(

lol. The AC130 should fire like that all the time.

Demolition is the worst fucking thing ever. I'd rather have War game mode from World at War.

I gotta say, even though the M4A1 is the first assault rifle, I'm probably never gonna change it unless that M16 is wildly badass. I've grown attached.

"Pro"-Tip: When you use the Riot Shield (hilarious watching the enemy retread from your turtling terror!), equip the throwing knife. It's a quick projectile option without switching to a gun. I ran up on a guy who backed down and he went for a grenade throw. I tossed a knife at his ass. It didn't kill him, but I went right back to shield and avoided the blast radius to fight on.

And on shields: So I'm getting shot at, bouncing off the bullets and getting free points, and I'm wondering, "Where are my teammates? Does anyone see this orange dot on their radar?" lol

Fucking love that riot shield. That melee attack is the best thing ever. Most satisfying kill no doubt. What I want to know is when you switch to your secondary weapon and have the riot shield on your back is your back protected from bullets? Seems like it should be also something that the developers would ignore.

Yes the back is protected. I switch to a weapon and sprint for some added back protection. Great for CTF flag runs. Forward protection is great for distractions and taking a Domination post right before the enemies eyes.

Went back and played a little COD 4 and there were only 9000 players online.

Too bad they didn't add Old School Free for All in MW2. It's fun.

Salute your Captain, men. I'm Lv40. Gonna see if that M16 is worth a bone or two. Had some killer Domination games.

Played like two matches tonight. Wasn't feeling it.

Me 2. Yeah M16 is good.

Didn't play on Sunday or I'd be 45 instead of 40.

M16 really is a monster. I already have it pimped out with a grenade launcher and a precision sight. Gonna make a mainstay of the All American class. :cool:

If it wasn't for halftime switching, some maps would be seriously broken with CTF.

Khuntri's gonna snatch this game, and with my bro having an extra temp. Gold card for me back at home, we could party up for a few private games. At least for exhibition. Later on I'll have a real Gold subscription and we could get some of that league thing going.

Team Apt. 25 is not down and out yet, and according to the leaderboards, I've amassed enough experience to lead the team to the the great beyond! JUST WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!

From now on... in any challenge... Team Apt. 25 will represent. Street Fighter, Halo, even your Call of Duty will not be spared. We go where the action is, then we meet the challenge. Apt. 25... Preaching the Gospel... of ULTRA BEATDOWN!

I with G on not prestiging. There are too many perks and unlocks to go through again. Plus there is no reward for doing so.

ROFL just noticed the blow up doll in the estate house.

Lots of little hidden details in there. Video games, movie posters.I wish I knew something about chess so I knew what the relevance of that move is.

Is the Flugruger airplane logo/symbol a nod to Portal?

I'll probably prestige 1 time.

You get new custom slots every time you prestige and new challenges. Plus a spiffy looking title/emblem.

thats cool but I don't think it's worth going through and unlocking everything again.

I'd go through just to hear that guitar riff every time you complete a challenge. Love that shit.

yes

How nice for you.

Yeah it is a bitch to go back to having nothing when you have all the cool stuff unlocked. The fact that you got nothing but a gold cross on COD4 was the reason I only prestige 3 times. I think I might go all the way with this one, as I really hate having to switch my classes around all the time, whenever I go from hardcore to regular games.

Also to try and keep thing interesting I'm gonna work on only one or two weapons from each weapon class every prestige. Believe their is enough guns to do this for at least a majority of the ten prestiges. Working my famas right now, and about to get 20,000 exp for getting 500 kills for it.

I have no idea what that sentence means G

He's talking about special ops.

Saw my first prestiged player today. Kinda sad since it's been a whole week since release.

Saw a level 36 prestige and said the exact same thing

You think playing over and over nonstop some people would get bored.

Yeah this is what I'm thinking, focus on maybe one gun from each class. Just too much to unlock.

Also gonna echo how much fun throwing knives are with riot shields. Love bashing someone once then when they step back, nail 'em with the knife.

Just unlocked the M93 Raffica. Pretty hot for a machine pistol. Way better range then I'd expect.

I'm level 40 2nd prestige right now. May be a tad bit addicted. :$

I want to make a riot shield team. Just 9 guys with riot shields w/ blast shield and throwing knives.

Imagine that coming at you. Would be hilarious.

I love coming up on guys with riot shields and they're all alone.

We'll just stare at each other for about ten seconds before he tries to switch weapons and I kill him or I circle around and I shoot him in the ass.

And Figgy, I want to see a game with 12 players all using riot shields.

Was having a shitty night in this, until I decided to try out the UMP.

It is my new BFF.

So is everyone here in agreement that Demolition sucks?

I havn't tried it. I mostly play Ground War, CTF, Sabotage and HC Deathmatch.

Also, that 3rd person shit sucks too.

Figured it would be pretty unexciting.

Even though I was doing well with the ump, my team was sucking balls. Not playing for the objective, and camping in places that havew no relevance.

One guy even said "Why are they trying to plant the bomb so fast?"

Seriously guy?

Played a Free for all the other day with some randoms, when one suggested having a riot shield only match. Was as fun as it sounds.

As I was doing the Pit Boss achievement, I noticed that 50 Cent was talking to <i>Will Arnett.</i>

"Hey man, you still gay or what? Nah just kiddin bro. Don't ask don't tell."

And according to his wikipedia, his gamertag is "roncore".

Gunna go bug him rn.

Got the One Man Army perk. I'd love to see how I use the damn thing. Also, had a 20+/6 game the other night playing with Khuntri and my bro (I think RoXy was there). My most impressive team deathmatch results, but more importantly I got the grasp on how the maps flow now. Gonna train up Khuntri now that we can link up on two different boxes. For now, you can add us back into that tourny thing. Once Khuntri is set up (should be brief and easy, I got Lv.40+ in less than 2 days playtime), we'll be ready.

If some of you guys are on when me and Khuntri are on I guess we can have some pop-shots or a 'workshop' or some shit like that.

Was playing Domination last night and we were winning big. Then some fucker on the other team camped out enough to get a 25 kill streak and dropped a nuke and we lost instantly. :n:

Still haven't seen a nuke dropped,got close, guy had a 24 kill streak, killed him before he could get it.

I was in a game when a nuke was dropped. My first instinct was to hide in a building. Didn't work out too well :o

right

Love this game. Been kicking ass since the night it came out :cool: Got a 24 Killstreak, don't have the nuke unlocked yet, so would've been pissed had I got 25.

Q?:

What do you guys think is the best area to hold down in Terminal?
