I wish the textures will better. Some of them look downright gross.
But Bad Company is only 30fps, dude.
Oh wait, it's on PC now. Lulz.
Yeah but it's 30FPS of amazing.
Oh and MW2 is also a PC game. Bet it'll still has lame textures.

Both in SP and MP. It's a riot shield, it shouldn't protect you from anything more than at most small arms fire. Given how fast the game is, I understand why they used that type of shield as opposed to a proper ballistic shield like in R6V (or hell, Uncharted 2 even). But it still looks off.
It's such a petty shit complaint, but I just can't get past it.
You could use it for a round or two in R6 because people wouldn't necessarily know how to react to it. But once they work it out you're fucked.Yeah, it's even less useful here if there's slight penetration like standing behind a wooden wall. There was one video where the riot shield guy was being backed up by someone with an assault rifle and that combo seemed to work really well.
I have absolutely zero excitement for this :\
I'm sure it'll be fun, but it seems standard compared to creative titles like Brutal Legend this fall

What in the hell is so creative about that one? Isn't that just some action-adventure game to the tune of mainstream metal? Really pushing the boundaries there.
lol the PC version got bumped 14 days. It's now November 24th (console versions on November 10th).

Yes. They are very two different games.
And they're coming out like five months apart! Modern Warfare 2: Boresquad Reunited! Believe!
I don't know, the MP looks like a mess now. :-\
I'm not worried about balancing whatsoever, because it's Infinity Ward. That's like crying that Blizzard is fucking up a RTS.
That shit just don't happen.

Looks like they are following suit of COD4.
fuck that wont' work because
1. a SINGLE deagle already is better than any assault rifle at close range. Even against multiple enemies.
2. cod players are already cheap enough to grenade spam your ass across the map so this little no-brainer is going to fuck up the game.
I guess I'll just wait and see how it's balanced but I'm betting it won't work out too well.

sounds like dual pistols in haloin cod, the pistols shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger. 2 shots with a deagle anywhere on an enemy and he's dead, which is why I don't like this feature even if you need to use a perk slot to get it.

Yeah, wasn't there some new patch in COD4 that people bitched about?in cod, the pistols shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger.

The GAF reaction to that bit is disgusting. A bunch of people whining about it being a "low attention-grab" done purely for the shock value, a bunch of other clowns shocked by it, and the odd three or four dudes who get it.

I'm sure they wanted it to be shocking, but the motivation for that is almost certainly not to give the game more attention.

And I think the reaction to it is sad as hell. It's one thing to be disgusted by it, but to argue that it shouldn't be in games at all in fear of it leading to stricter legislation is more disgusting than anything. And then the other group feels that it shouldn't be in games simply because games are games and should not be serious. These guys like to ponder about how mainstream media will react, when in reality all they have to do is look at themselves.
Thank god for these clowns that Heartland got canceled, there is no way they could have stomached what that game was doing.

Medium is the message etc.
I remember my cousin going to his "favorite scenes" in American History X. My initial reaction to this was "Oh, that's a compelling choice". It certainly turns the paradigm of the HOOHAH AMERICAN MARINE SHOOTER on it's head. But I'm not sure I trust the audience and I don't trust the medium. Games require an active participant and they very certainly have win conditions that have to be met to advance. When that win condition is "Play Terrorist and gun down innocent people", that just strikes me as tasteless.
Yes, GTA4 has all manner of reprhensible behavior. But it also doesn't take itself too seriously AND the more reprehensible acts tend to be voluntary. They're not necessary conditions for advancement.

Why are you people watching this? I don't get it.
I mean I watch speedruns of some games that I have already finished. But watching a full play-through of a game you intend to buy...
smh
I accidentally watched some, but I'm done. And after clicking Archies spoiler, stupidly thinking that it had to do with stoney's killstreak reveal, I'm out.
http://www.justin.tv/notmodernwarfare2
im watching these guys now: http://www.justin.tv/xxflashborys was right though, it gets kind of boring watching people play the campaign.
evidently this guy sold his copy today, shame because he had the best stream
Not sure how I feel about that nuke. Unless it's an active martyrdom thing, it doesn't seem very reasonable.
On a related note, this game is basically Modern Wormsfare at this point. Add a holy hand grenade and some tactical sheep, and it would be spot on.
It seems that whoever uses the nuke automatically wins the game. I think it's stupid.To each his own. The spice of life.
We'll see, I don't have your seemingly complete trust in Infinity Ward. Having three air support options is troubling enough, and now there are nukes. And they actively reward failure, which is just weird. Accessibility is nice, but at least on paper it looks like they crossed quite a few lines.I'm not sure if it's true or not, but they don't stack like they did in COD4 from what I've heard.

The killstreaks stack and are saved. The stacking is what is called a LIFO (or FILO) queue. Last In, First Out.
So for example:
3: UAV
4: Care Package
5: Sentry Gun
You can earn all three without using any and the one shown on your DPAD would be the Sentry Gun. As soon as you used it you would see the Care Package on your DPAD. As soon as you used that it you'd see the UAV.
Followup question from somebody.

Does is matter if you die? For example, if I used the Sentry Gun and died, would I still be able to use the Care Package, then UAV?

Stoney, the problem isn't so much change, but the kitchen sink approach. COD4 was, in my opinion, awesome in part because of it's relative simplicity. That's gone now for sure. And I personally think the idea of actively rewarding shitty players is pure poison. It will make it more accessible for sure so I doubt they will suffer, but my experience with the game most likely will. I don't trust them to keep it enjoyable for me.
It's good that they at least got rid of martrydom. It felt so stupid always running away from dead bodies.
Choppers don't count towards the nuke streak, right?
player controlled heli's and dual wielding smgs? :lol

there are many areas of WWII that have remained unexplored in WWII fps games
Watching the E3 demo made me wonder if they had basically reworked a planned IW-brand interpretation of the Rjukan heavy water sabotage campaign. I didn't mind the move to modern warfare one bit, but the mind-boggling amount of new devices, weapons and support pieces in the MP has put a big question mark on the whole thing. Some dude tried to call in a Pave Low, but he couldn't because his team currently had a Cobra in the air.
World War 2 guns suck, but as Eel said there are millions of untold stories left in that conflict.
I tried to call in an airstrike but I couldn't because there is a helicopter in the air. CoD4 am failure. :'(
And Will the biggest conflict in the history of mankind really has more stories then always the same "D-day, Market Garden, Berlin, Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor" stuff.
I'd also like to see an all out wargame, not just infantry shit. I want missions where I fly, naval battles, tank battles (KURSK!) etc.
I tried to call in an airstrike but I couldn't because there is a helicopter in the air. CoD4 am failure. :'(
Add one more type of air strike and two additional air support options, and you may never get to launch that fourth air strike option. :'(
And Will the biggest conflict in the history of mankind really has more stories then always the same "D-day, Market Garden, Berlin, Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor" stuff.
Again, you're playing a shooter. All these "different stories" play the same. The variation is really European and Pacific, both theaters have had their fair share of games dedicated to them.
yeah, i hear there's two nuke scenes in this modern warfare

Q
Is there a console in the PC version of the game, so we can change our field of view from the xbox's default 65 FOV to 80 also can we tweaks the weapon damage for each gun, removes perks, graphical debris, breathing sway, also thru console like we where able to before or is this all gone?
A
We would like you to play the game the way we designed and balanced it. - Vince-IW
Lulz
Also, they did in fact take out leaning. lulz
Yeah, much better when it's critically fucked from the start.
Lulz, some dude just picked up a weapons crate containing a B2 run.
From GAF:
"If you get killed while using the controlled kill streaks, you continue to control the killstreak until it expires or is destroyed by the other team, whichever comes first."
So you can't just sneak up on a dude with a laptop and kill him out of the AC-130 seat, as he will control the thing from beyond the grave.

The max number of players on all platforms are 1v1 through 9v9. This is the number of players we focused on when we were balancing map size, perks, classes, challenges, etc.

The posting last Thursday on Craigslist was alarming. Someone was selling a Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundle, with both a console and a game, for $500. The problem was that Modern Warfare 2, one of the most anticipated games of the year, doesn’t officially go on sale until Nov. 10.
Activision Blizzard, the game’s publisher, called in IPCybercrime.com, a Dallas private investigation firm that specializes in online investigations. The investigators tracked down the seller and stumbled into a scheme to pirate the game and sell a bunch of fake copies over the Internet. While the bust led to the arrest of just one hacker among many, it sheds light on the shadowy underground of the business of illegal piracy. It also offers a peak at how investigators try to head off a major piracy disaster before it happens.
“It all happened very fast,” said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime. “If these guys get their stuff out, then they can do some major damage to sales and spoil it for everybody. We plug leaks every day, but this was one of the biggest ones of the year.”
The investigators started by calling the Craigslist ad phone number and talking with the seller, who said he had two items for sale. They negotiated a deal to buy two bundles for $800 each. Then IPCybercrime dispatched its investigators in Los Angeles to perform an undercover pickup. Then another Craigslist ad appeared for the same Modern Warfare 2 bundle. A search on social networks revealed that the first seller was a friend of the second seller. And the second seller said on his social networking page that he worked as a “box boy at a major retail chain.”
IPCybercrime’s client, Activision Blizzard, approached the sellers, who then admitted having stolen a crate of the bundles from the backroom of a game retail store. Then IPCybercrime folks turned the case over to the loss prevention department at the retailer, which dealt with the thieves. This kind of inside job involving physical theft is becoming common, though it’s hard to do because retailers get a major game just a week in advance and then lock the boxes up in a high-security part of their warehouses.
On Oct. 30, the client told IPCybercrime that an individual going by the name “cedelamo” and “cdelamo815″ had posted a message on the piracy forum at xbox360iso.com. The post asked for users to donate funds to him via PayPal so that he could buy one of the above-listed Craigslist bundles and crack the anti-piracy code. Once he did that, he could distribute counterfeit copies of the game widely and make a bundle of money doing it.
There wasn’t an obvious way to track the person who made the post. But IPCybercrime checked on Facebook to see if the email address belonged to someone with a Facebook account. The search turned up a page for someone who was anonymously offering “modding services.” Modders are people who hack into Xbox 360 systems and turn them into repositories for pirated games. They stand in a gray area of the law, as it’s legal to make your own backup copy of a copyrighted disk, but it’s not OK to sell that copy commercially. To evade the law, the modders often describe their services in ads as selling “backup disks.”
The Facebook page had a cell phone number and it said that customers could contact that number via text message. Holmes’ investigators stayed in contact with the person sending text messages for four days as they negotiated a business deal. At one point, they convinced the person to call them with a cell phone. Holmes called that number back and then managed to get a business address out of the person.
Meanwhile, the person on the web forum said that he had received a copy of Modern Warfare 2 on Oct. 30. Over the weekend, the hacker went to work on the copy protection built into the DVD disk with the game on it. He cracked the code — something that isn’t that hard for hackers to do these days — and announced that he had done so on Monday. Coincidentally, pirate digital copies of Modern Warfare 2 flooded onto torrent sites, which are peer-to-peer sites for sharing software, on the same day. That has likely caused untold losses for Activision Blizzard, Holmes said.
Holmes was looking into the business address he got from the Facebook modder. The location (pictured right) was a computer business in Miami, owned by the subject’s father, Hiram Del Amo. IPCybercrime sent an investigator to the address and then determined that the cyberhacker was Christian Del Amo, an 18-year-old who was known as a modder and had a site for selling modded Xbox 360 hard disks on iOffer.com, an eBay-like site. The modder advertised 250-gigabyte Western Digital hard drives, loaded with 125 hacked games, for $150.
IPCybercrime handed the case over to the Miami-Dade police department. They conducted a buy-bust sting where Del Amo had sent a “runner” to make the exchange. The runner gave them a disk with the Modern Warfare 2 limited edition image on it. That meant that not only was Del Amo making pirated digital copies on DVDs, he was also sophisticated enough to know how to make disks that look like legitimate copies. On his Twitter account, Del Amo was in a conversation with an underground hologram maker. Holograms can be used to make the disks look like legitimate copies of the game. Those who bought the pirated game would be able to play it in modded Xbox 360s.
“This kid was in a position to sell thousands of these,” Holmes said.
Police interrogated the runner, who led them to Del Amo’s home. They then arrested Del Amo yesterday (pictured right). Del Amo’s attorney has not returned a call for comment. The whole process, from finding the first tip to the bust, took less than a week. While the operation snagged a perpetrator, it didn’t move fast enough to prevent the massive copying of the game on the torrents on the Internet.
“Hopefully it is a lesson,” said Holmes. “If you try to do piracy on a large scale, you will get caught. When you use the Internet, you always leave tracks somewhere.”

The water in the this game looks terrible, btw. Pretty unacceptable.
They really had to sacrifice the graphics for 60fps.
It's only how action games/movies have worked since the beginning of time.

Choppers and bombers do count towards the nuke streak. Good jon, IW.
This leak is going to make it a bitch for newcomers. The maps are much larger and a lot more complex than anything in COD4, so knowledge of the maps makes a huge difference. Having a bitch of a time trying to learn the maps while being chewed up by other players, their killstreak rewards and whatever rewards those damned crates hand out. IW fucked up with the care package thing.
Anyone who cares about K/D and EXP and wants to keep th game going will opt to not use a Nuke period. Why would you choose to end the game?
I just learned that Russia invades America in this one? What a crappy story there.
I read that three times and I still don't know what is going on. :dizzy

LMAO
I read that three times and I still don't know what is going on. :dizzyspoiler (click to show/hide)It turns out the General that you're working for, was, uh, somehow maybe working with the Russian terrorists, who are rebels despite the government in Russia apparently having the same pro-Zakhaev views as they do (apparently all the stuff in MW1 didn't make a difference or something). I guess Russians just can't be trusted, being evil and anti-America is their natural state of existence.
The General was using the invasion as an unspecified "blank check" for no real reason, because his troops were killed in the nuke in MW1 "and the world just fuckin' watched." I don't get that at all, since the nuke was portrayed as like a shocking huge tragedy and I'm not sure how losing your soldiers to a terrorist nuke justifies creating a secret army and plotting an invasion of America or whatever the hell he actually did, it's not explained at all. Then the General says that "tomorrow there will be no shortage of volunteers or patriots" so I guess his plan is essentially ripped off from Metal Gear Solid and he wants to create a world of war??? Oh and Soap and Price are now wanted terrorists because the General, like, framed them somehow, so they kill him like the very next day.[close]
It makes no goddamned sense. It's like IW's 'writers' took Red Dawn, Metal Gear Solid, and every Tom Clancy novel and shoved them together.

Edit: I should use my press powers to organize a Boresquad vs. Ice T throwdown.
The funniest part of the game so far is having to protect the Burger Town, which looks suspiciously like a Burger King. It's hysterical to hear officers yelling "bogies inside the Burger Town" and "we must protect the Burger Town!"
I imagine that in Infinity Ward history books, children will read about the day that the brave men and women of our country sacrificed themselves to protect the Burger Town of Northern Virgina. Much blood was spilled on the extra value menu that day.
In fact, if you are amongst a squad of Army Rangers, it is not uncommon to hear servicemen valiantly charge into battle crying out in one voice: "REMEMBER THE BURGER TOWN!"
You are literally fighting amongst two or three fast food restaurants, a diner, a gas station convenience store and a restaurant. :lolGoddamnit, that is so retardedly awesome it makes me kind of want to play this now. :lol
Thinking about it is making me hungry.
They chickened out by removing the much ballyhooed civilian factor there. They should have had a submission of herding fatties from one fast food joint to the other.

Dude, why would you buy Modern Warfare for the PC, when all it is a port that won't have a real community or the PS3, which will have far less people playing it than XBL? :lol

You don't need a huge community to make an online shooter viable. Even just a few hundred people playing works fine. I still play Quake Wars on the PC from time to time and while it doesn't have 50,000 people online playing, it has a few hundred and I never have trouble finding a good game (thanks to having six or seven 'favorited' dedicated servers).

Regarding PS3 servers being down:
http://twitter.com/ATVI_Randolph/status/5626271737
http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/5627637199QuoteTipster Kenneth B. pointed us to a tweet from Activision support that says the MW2 outage is "totally unrelated to the patch." While this means a fix can be done before Friday, he admits "we don't have a hard ETA on the servers coming back up." We'll be keeping track of this problem, but don't forget to send us your tips.
Tipster Brent point us to yet another tweet, this time from Robert Bowling who confirms the multiplayer downtime is caused by server overload. According to Bowling, "Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so." Seems this mysterious "3rd party" infrastructure simply cannot match the Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live.
:rofl
First PS3 game to sell gangbusters and it melted PS3 MP servers!
@JMCPHX Not true. Multiplayer will be available as soon as Demonware gets the servers back online ASAP.
31 minutes ago from web in reply to JMCPHX@_PerforatoR_ Immediately when it's resolved. Keep an eye here.
about 1 hour ago from web in reply to _PerforatoR_@Kaboutertje MP doesn't require a patch. It's a server overload not a bug in the code. They're working to have servers back up ASAP.
about 2 hours ago from web in reply to Kaboutertje@scoobyjim Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so.
about 2 hours ago from web in reply to scoobyjim@Agrzybianek Have you installed the game to your hard drive? This will reduce load times and make for less disc reading.
about 2 hours ago from web in reply to Agrzybianek@sean_armstrong It's related to the servers being down at the moment during an upgrade. It'll be fixed when the servers come back up.
about 2 hours ago from web in reply to sean_armstrong@T_Rux That's unrelated to the patch. They are adding more bandwidth servers to meet MP demand. The Patch was for SP only.
about 2 hours ago from web in reply to T_Rux#MW2 PS3 Status: Patch successful. Trophy Unlocks on PS3 now available in Single Player & Spec Ops. Adding more servers to meet MP demand.
about 2 hours ago from CoTweet @OPM_UK The amount of players on #MW2 PSN overwhelmed the PSN presence server which updates "what you're doing" and is essential to parties.

Is the EXP output much more than MW1 was? It feels that way.
Other than the ice climbing stuff and Rio mission (I'm on the second one now), it's been a lot of fun. The snow mission was badass after the ice climbing and before the snowmobile; if there isn't that mission in spec-op, that would suck.

I don't mind earned killstreaks, especially since there are limited spots. I fucking hate the killstreak crate system, and that includes when I get the reward. Two minutes in, an enemy calls in a care package. Shoot the dude, grab the crate and get an AC-130. It's ridiculous.

Dude, why? It's awesome, and you know it's awesome. Campaign is awesome, SpecOps is awesome, multiplayer is awesome.
Out of curiosity, how long did it take you guys to finish the campaign? Disregarding the time spent replaying the first few levels on harder difficulty, I think my finish time was around 7 hours on Hardened. I actually took my time depleting the troops in some areas, which is stupid since it's all about hitting the checkpoints, but at least it demonstrated that the infinite respawn thing was gone.
n the shots below, we see the 360 rendition transition from a medium-quality texture to the full version in just one second via an HDD install, while it takes four seconds streaming from DVD. The PS3 version on the other hand takes eight full seconds, kicking off with a very low-quality asset that you don't see at all on 360. While the impact is limited to certain scenes only, it does suggest that an optional install for the Sony platform would have been worthwhile.
Hey swaggaz, how is the game affected by the removal of lean? I've been playing CoD4 online alot and I am honestly surprised how much I lean. I never even consciously thought about it until IW mentioned its removal.

Everyone's saying they won't buy it because of the dedicated server nonsense, but at the end of the day it's MW2 and gamers are pathetic.
The only PC people who will buy MW2 are gullible idiots who buy a PC from Best Buy and the peon at the store tells them they need to have MW2 on their new Acer with integrated Intel graphics.
PC FPS fans are playing Valves games and waiting for Bad Company 2 in March.
Being force to play on some idiots server when he's running a 56k modem is not worth $60 and 15gigs on the HDD.

At least you play more than you watch. At least I'm assuming based on other CoDs. I don't own this yet.
Both are stupid, but I give MW2 the advantage because it has a hard on for The Rock instead of Mr and Mrs Smith.At least you play more than you watch. At least I'm assuming based on other CoDs. I don't own this yet.
The term "play" is thrown around a lot these days. If you saw the E3 demo where the guy spends five minutes climbing some ice and considered that "playing", then yes, you play more of Modern Warfare 2. It's like Act 3 in MGS4 again. Boring sequences you can't skip, even if you've done them once already.

you climb the ice for about a minute and you know within the next minute and then the rest of that mission is a send-back to all ghillied up, which is awesome.
how do the kill streaks stack now? I mean, for the 11 kill streak, do they expect you to get 11 kills with one life or 5 one life, 6 in another. I know that if you got a drop and UAV, the UAV is available after the drop.
Thanks.
also, death streaks are kinda cool if only for the copycat ability. If you ever thought that the enemy only beat you because of their load out, you can steal it and realize that really, you just suck.
Had a ton of fun playing with Willco and Beezy last night, hope to see more folks on tonight.Sorry I didn't join again. After the room closed some other friends invited me.

The killstreaks stack and are saved. The stacking is what is called a LIFO (or FILO) queue. Last In, First Out.
So for example:
3: UAV
4: Care Package
5: Sentry Gun
You can earn all three without using any and the one shown on your DPAD would be the Sentry Gun. As soon as you used it you would see the Care Package on your DPAD. As soon as you used that it you'd see the UAV.
Followup question from somebody.

Does is matter if you die? For example, if I used the Sentry Gun and died, would I still be able to use the Care Package, then UAV?

"Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is having a great week. When Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched Tuesday it sold 4.7 million units within the first 24 hours generating $310 million. If that’s not enough, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made this week, Kotick sold nearly two million shares of Activision Blizzard upon the launch of MW2 earning him a whopping $20 million. This figure tops his 2008 compensation package, which according to Forbes totaled nearly $15 million. Post-sale, Kotick still has 3,109,729 shares of Activision Blizzard that are now worth a smooth $35,575,300. No wonder he’s always smiling."

Thermal kinda sucks.
Thermal kinda sucks.
I disagree. I'm not a sniper but I've seen snipers kick ass with thermal.
Also, for as much as it seemed like the additions to multiplayer would be nonsense, a lot of it makes sense. Even the supply crate is being used in clever ways because it essentially baits enemies to it and gives away your position, so people are throwing in unreachable areas to attract enemies, then taking them down.
As assault class or dedicated snipers? I play close to mid-range, and the thermal is even worse than the acog for me.
yeah, I've seen some good shield teams. When they're alone, just shoot their feet or run past, turn a knife their side, but the good ones have a guy who fires at you while they defend.

That's interesting. I wonder how many people see the body go down thinking it was a confirmed kill and just run the other way. I'd play dead all the time.

The only reason I'm NOT getting it for pc is because no one I know irl is getting it for pc.
the sound on the PC version is terrible. everything sounds so muted. none of the gunshots have any weight to them. isn't an issue in other games, specially L4D.
Riot Shield + Throwing Knife is the best combo ever
people let you get super close with the shield and you can take your time to wait for the perfect moment to throw
plus if you have scavenger you can just run over the knife instead of holding x to pick it up, a novelty class for maps like invasion I like a lot
on most open maps riot shield is death though, lag being the greatest killer, so many times Im keeping my distance and looking at a guy and he runs up and around and knifes me thanks to lag, watching their killcams and seeing history rewritten by a better connection, a little part of me dies inside each time :(
TAR is my new best friend. It fires much quicker than the SCAR and you don't have to reload as often. I don't think I'll touch the SCAR again after I unlock all of its challenges.
I've never played MW1's campaign, so how does MW2 compare to WaW? I'm playing that on Veteran and I've never seen grenade spam like this before. It's just constantly raining grenades.

hah I nailed a sniper in a second floor window with a throwing knife from maybe 25 feet away, awesome
also I made my cheapo riot shield class cheaper by adding the thumper instead of some actual gun so now i get suprise noob tube kills

To put this in context, Activision’s title has now grossed almost twice as much as the entire entertainment software market last week. The Xbox 360 version alone has sold over 1m units in its first week, making £38.5m (which on its own is more than last week’s total entertainment software market figure).‘Modern Warfare 2’ has smashed GTA IV’s launch week record of 927,000 units (£39.9m) by a huge margin.

The worst map is clearly the one with a giant big grassy field and a dirt hole in the middle
Riot shield + shotty in HQ, bring it on :gun
I am convinced that performance is almost entirely dependent on lag. I played last night with no noticable lag and I was tops in 3 out of the 6 games that I played with a high k/d ratio. I played a few games tonight, with significant lag, and I am losing almost every single encounter. Fucking garbage

It's supposed to be a throwback to a cod1 map.Yeah. I was playing splitscreen with some friends, and my friend and I both noticed it like simultaneously. Kinda cool, but I hated that map even in CoD1. It's even worse now that it doesn't have that tunnel going under the big hedge. That was a good choke point.
eh, it does have an underground area that goes through the hedges. If you play CTF, the tunnel links the two flags directly but it's kind of a death trap.It's supposed to be a throwback to a cod1 map.Yeah.

I could have sworn it didn't. It had the tunnel that runs parallel to the hedge, but not under it. Maybe my memory is off.eh, it does have an underground area that goes through the hedges.

I could have sworn it didn't. It had the tunnel that runs parallel to the hedge, but not under it. Maybe my memory is off.Yeah it's kind of confusing when you're in there but the center of the tunnel is a hub that splits in 4 directions (north, west, south, and east) so it can take you to any corner of the map basically.
3 directions right?No, four entrances.
Need a break from AC2 tonight. Will the Boresquad be on? I think it'd be cool to get a full room and just do some customs for a bit.

Thanks to Katayama and millions like him, Modern Warfare 2 generated a record-setting $550 million in sales through Saturday, besting not only the previous mark for a video game but also for movies at the box office. That represents about 8 million units sold, according to estimates by publisher Activision Blizzard Inc. of Santa Monica.
"This provided the entire industry with a shot in the arm," said Colin Sebastian, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, who predicted Modern Warfare 2 would ultimately sell 15 million to 20 million units, exceeding $1 billion in revenue.
Call of Duty cost $40 million to $50 million to produce, people close to the project said, about as much as a mid-size film. Including marketing expenses and the cost of producing and distributing discs, the launch budget was $200 million, on par with a summer popcorn movie -- and extremely high for a video game.

Marathon, Lightweight, Commando.That's a good combo. I did that for ctf and got them up to pro within a few days, the pro of commando apparently lets you take no damage when you fall.

Effective, and lame as hell. Anyone who uses this, at least in TDM, is a major lame-o. The bunny hopper of MW2.
Can't wait to use this to piss off people like you. :lol
Might get rid of Scrambler but not sure yet, would have to get silencers then >:(
You thought you could move to Korea and there wouldn't be any consequences?
God damn, I cannot get the trophy for The Pit. How do you run this thing in under 30 seconds? The closest I've got is like 32.5.just did it in 28 sec.
Still sounds better than games filled with monkey-armed hoverskaters with infinite energy swords.Might get rid of Scrambler but not sure yet, would have to get silencers then >:(
I find that scrambler mostly works to the detriment of the user anyway.
Just witnessed my first nuke. It was a guy on my team. So awesome.
The engine does look pretty dated when you're not looking at player models. When will the use a new one? Maybe CoD8?
This IWNet stuff really isn't cutting. I didn't have too much trouble earlier, but I left it on "Finding a Match..." for 45 minutes and didn't get a single bite. In countries where CoD is less than a RELIGION, this sucks. Asia is big on dedicated servers. Fuuuu. I finally got a match that was hilariously laggy. The kill cams were like dispatches from some alternate dimension. And it kept giving me Challenges I didn't complete. It was like "AWESOME 10 PRONE KILLS WTG" when I didn't even crouch, let alon lay prone.
How is this any different? You have some nice mountain levels, ugly orange battlefields at dusk, and such. Texture quality may be slightly better, but there still isn't a single good texture in any given level (well, at least not on Xbox 360). The backgrounds range from rather nice (again, the mountains) to bug ugly. And the snow levels do not hold up well to similar levels in recent games. And lighting is hit or miss, with shadows being complete misses.
Honestly though, I think the worst idea they had was that damned ghost mask. It looks so bad.

Because it has actual color and contrast between them. It's not Mirror's Edge, but a lot of elements in the game still pop. It was just all around more appealing to look at than CoD4, which as I said above, was incredibly drab, and flat, brown, etc.
side by side, you can definitely see some higher detail and better lighting.
decent enough, nowhere near GOTY.Did you play online at all? MW1 and 2 aren't loved for their campaigns.
It doesn't mean anything in the real world if the textures and poly counts are a little higher in a game like this. I'm just saying, some improvements were made on those things but mainly it looks like it was the lighting/particle effects that they improved in the sequel. I can't tell exactly what they did to it but everything has just a sharper look to it and the colors are more saturated. In the campaign, there's definitely a lot more attention paid to building the setpieces so I guess that should count as an improvement.side by side, you can definitely see some higher detail and better lighting.I thought you said the detail didn't matter in such a fast moving game? Which was already a shitty argument when it was used to defend Resistance, and it hasn't gotten any better with age.
gonna try covering my back with a shield the next time i play.
commando + lightweight + marathon = :lol:o

I never thought of that!
The lighting is pretty terrible sometimes. When soldiers are walking toward a light source they practically sparkle and glow, which shouldn't be happening on ACU material.
yeah, that's a reverse italian. The one with the black "wheel" emblem is Indian. There's no Hungarian at all.
I'm going by this list:
http://www.themodernwarfare2.com/mw2/multiplayer/callsigns/titles-flags/
what I use is the iranian one, thinking it might upset some redneck. so far, every other flag emblem I've seen has been mexican or american so I probably don't even get matched up with anybody outside of california.
Which playlist?
The harrier is kind of useless now since everybody has unlocked a stinger or a javelin. Occasionally, you'll run into a match with a team that was dumb enough not to carry any anti-aircraft whatsoever, but that's an anomaly.
Good games, guys (Cajole, Zero Hero, Kestastrophe, etc.). I had been playing for almost 90 minutes beforehand with Cajole, though, and desperately required a break.
You jumped off right as we invited you, Zero.I had to go to bed. I was on the server with you guys for the last few minutes on wasteland, just not in your party.
And we played some tough-as-nails headquarters matches. That shit put hair on your chest. :punch
You're insane. I used to be able run right by claymores in Call of Duty 4. And if they went off, as long as there was a wall that separated us, I was fine.
Not the case anymore - whatsoever.
Sure, you only get one, but it kills you.
You have my SCAR.
Negative. I apply the same tactics that worked with the game's predecessor, mainly a quick spurt and jump forward from the damage radius or ducking behind a wall. These do not work this time around, and I've been killed through walls countless times.
M16 is way better than the SCAR or TAR.
M16 is way better than the SCAR or TAR.That's good to hear. I just unlocked it last night. It was my favorite and only weapon in COD4.
I will be back on around midnight EST if anyone wants to have a go.
Anyone here that plays with me can attest to the fact that I'm pretty good.

Apparently not good enough to avoid getting killed, repeatedly, by nerfed claymores. :teehee
Best gun in the game is the AUG.
People are constantly on the move in regular Team Deathmatch, Domination and Headquarters; the odds of mowing down someone running across a map with stopping power is higher than sneaking up on someone with Ninja Pro.
Are you seriously saying that people don't camp in this game? :wtf
I just discovered that Im still 200 kills under a positive d/k ratio.
All due to the first few hours of play, now I usually end up positive.
1500/1700
The more I read, the more I really don't think Willco has a good opinion about anything.:shh
Are you seriously saying that people don't camp in this game? :wtf
There isn't a shooter made where people don't "camp". Especially if it is a non-objective gametype and the game isn't a Quake style shooter.
There are two types (among many) that play COD MP. The group that plays gametypes like Domination and GroundWar which are essentially much more fast paced and chaotic and those who prefer the Hardcore Playlists where slow play is a much more dominant and enjoyable gameplay style for those playlists.
Personally I prefer the hardcore modes because I don't like to run around in a manic state but the nice thing is that there many playlists to incorporate either style.
At least Stoney Mason gets the score. You guys can use Ninja Pro if you'd like on non-Hardocore playlists, but you're wasting your slot. Have fun getting that one kill you earned from sneaking up on someone versus twice as many with a more high-powered approach.
I still have a shitty kill death ratio because until a few days ago I didn't realize I was running utorrent as a background process on one of my computers that was chewing up all my bandwith for the last few weeks and giving me shitty connections.
When you play with 3 or 4 bars it is a whole new game. Because of that utorrent issue, I was always playing with one or two bars and it was frustrating because while I'm not great at the game, I knew I was better than what my stats were saying and I couldn't quite figure out why I was sucking so bad.I still have a shitty kill death ratio because until a few days ago I didn't realize I was running utorrent as a background process on one of my computers that was chewing up all my bandwith for the last few weeks and giving me shitty connections.
Every game I join is like that, I get shot and I watch the killcam and I'm about 10 feet from where I was last alive on my screen.
I got in a full local game last night (all 3-4 green bars) and it was like a whole new game.
You seemed to be saying that camping isn't a factor in regular TDM, and that's a crock of shit. And then you went on to rant about Stopping power, despite it being in a separate slot altogether. I don't particularly give a shit whether or not you use Ninja pro or some other perk, but your argument is all over the place.
Also I forgot who mentioned it but someone said the p90 wasn't as good as it was in COD 4 and I'll disagree. I'm owning with it now on certain maps just like you could in COD 4. If it was nerfed, it was quite a mild nerf.

Commando Pro, Steady Aim and Last Stand are all superior perks to use in those modes. And Cajole, if you wonder why I did so well after that one bad round transitioning from Hardcore, that's the reason why. I dumped Ninja Pro for Steady Aim for one class, Commando Pro for the other.

Camping is in TDM, but between Kill Cam and the radar, you're unlikely to pop more than 1 or 2 kills from a hiding spot before someone comes and drops your ass.
Me, Willco, and Bz completely owned tonight in our first ground war domination match on Skidrow. I managed to call in a predator missile, harrier, and chopper gunner for the first time. :D We had the 'BORE' tag up, so after that match we all got messages from people wanting to join us and like a third of the room threw up the Bore tag. :lol
Camping really isn't a regular factor in vanilla TDM. Am I saying people don't do it? No.
I also didn't saying GO WITH STOPPING POWER ONLY, I was merely saying it's one of those high-powered perks you should have. I APOLOGIZE THAT I DID NOT RECALL ALL THE PERKS FOR A VARIOUS SLOT OFFHAND, but as stated, I have corrected which ones would be better off in a slot.

We'd still have fun. We have a couple of guys that I would call novices, but it's all in good fun, and we're never serious. If you put six or so of us together, we can usually prop up our team as a whole with consistent communication.Indeed. I still consider myself a novice, but I have really good games every once in a while.
Just saying shit like, "Will, look at out behind you - it's a dirty turrist!" goes a long way. Y'know?

God, you're daft, duckman. My argument isn't all over the place - it's remained the same. How come Stoney Mason seems to understand it (as does am nintenho, GilloD, etc.), and you don't? Wait - don't answer.
The only thing I screwed up was naming a perk for a specific slot, which I a) clearly rectified and b) mentioned only as one of the perks people should have in lieu of perks designed for camping (i.e. Ninja Pro). If you can't follow that, then you're a moron. But - hey - you're the guy who was clearly talking out of his ass before the game came out.
... Also, you're arguing for Ninja Pro for "camper hunters" in non-HC playlists as a way to get the upper hand when you know a person's exact location? Here's a thought: grenades and special equipment.
Then you can use that slot for something that matters, instead of searching out errant players who only have a kill or two in one spot before the jig is up.
Look, it's a cool perk, but as already stated, it's unlikely you'll deal with a team full of campers in non-HC playlists. You can use it if you want, and that's fine, but it seems pretty silly outside of Hardcore. If you can't use Killcams, radar, UAV, grenades, etc. to weed out such players, I doubt Ninja Pro will help you.
You're pretty good, Beezy. Every once and awhile, you'll pull out a monster game. Most notably when you got stuck on the opposing team, and whooped everyone. It was like you channeled your rage into AC-130 form.Haha, thanks. I'm pretty reckless though so I end up dying a lot. It helps win matches in objective game types (domination is my favorite) because I'll do anything to capture shit, but not team deathmatch. I usually die the most on my team and I feel like the loss was my fault.

There's a sense of freedom in playing objective matches. With TDM, there isn't much to fight for other than better win/loss and k/d ratio so that becomes an obsession, but that's all useless in objective matches.Basically. I stopped caring about my K/D ratio since COD4. I do still care about my win/loss ratio though.

You spent pages defending a game you hadn't played against (unfounded, lulz) internet impressions from someone currently playing it. Yeah, you really shouldn't be yapping too much about pre-release impressions.
you were wrong.
MP looks like a fucking mess, is therefore a shit game for idiots.
So it is therefore a shit game? :lol
Sounds like you don't want you copy then. Put up or shut up.
wasteland is a pretty good map for me. People who camp in the bushes and in the bunker are actually pretty exposed if you flank them or flash them, it's a pretty good tactical map for objective stuff.
yes it sucks for me that infinity ward are lazy cunts who cant put in a local search

Well it is in Domination and HQ, I dont play TDM so dunno about that.

Did the first one have a local search? I'm browse this thread because I'm enjoying the wii hand me down, and it would be really weird that it has a local region option and mw2 doesn't.
Hmmm... I need some tips on how to play the Estate Map.
I'm a middle distance AR player and a short range SMG player on most maps but I can't quite get a handle on that map and how to run it and where are the good spots. Whenever I actually get inside the house I die a lot. I can't hold down the area because there are so many entrances.

Duckman's total ignorance of Bungie's stattracking site, which is pretty well known in online quarters, just underlines how nobody outside of forum junkies would likely use it. Why pay for the expense?
Are these available in the actual game? I got some basic stat page, never found any more detailed stats. COD4 and 6 gives you very basic stats, but at least they are right there in the game (which, in fairness, Halo 3 might have too, maybe I just haven't figured out where), and you can compare them easily against the stats of friends.

I said this like 4 pages back. Dual 1880 Rangers are like hip-fireable sniper rifles. The range on them is INSANE.
yeah it was posted a while ago. He aims too fast for it to be a console version so maybe he hacked it or something?
Much to my surprise, I have received no hate mail playing this game. Last night, however, I was asked in a message "u play runescape? if u do wut lvl r u"Sometimes people on Live are just overwhelmingly lonely. One guy kept pinging me to Voicechat EVERY time I logged on; it got really eerie, and made me happy there's not a privacy issue with Live, unlike connection in a social networking site.

It's basically the new Vacant.You mean Shipment.
What do you mean "no sniper guns?" What's wrong with the Intervention? Besides, you can always try using the lower access tunnels.exactly
Yeah. I hug the sides and use the tunnels. I usually do pretty well.
... my question is it a GLITCH that people can jump on that hanging lift and somehow get to the roof of that one building? Or is it something that IW meant for people to do?
I see people plunge to their death trying to do it all the time. :lol

Finished the SP. I didnt understand anything from the plot :lol
Loved the set pieces, game is a ride indeed. Ending was pretty cool too.
320 matches and I saw my first nuke. It was against my team. :rapetime
It didn't help our team that I was experimenting and playing with a weapon, I normally don't trying to level it up.

Did it seem like a "legit" one? I saw like 3 nukes total in my time playing, and only one seemed legit.
I started playing this again yesterday and this game has kinda gone to shit. Something like 6/10 people in a server just run around with dual shotguns. I've played in roughly 10 different games with different groups, and each one has been full of these guys. Maybe it's because my level is getting higher and it is matching me with people as high as 70. They basically insta kill you at close to mid range.

Yeah I just don't agree with this. They never kill you at mid range unless you don't fire or something and let them get in close range on you. As far as close range I would argue simply don't engage them at close range. It's like me trying to battle a sniper at long range with a machine gun. You don't fight a battle with the wrong weapon or at the wrong range.

In the few encounters I've had with the 1887s, range was precisely the issue. Shotguns are traditionally lethal in close combat but pointless at far range, but these things seem to have that power at far range. It's as if they decided to completely reverse the COD4 model, where shotguns were completely ineffective beyond short range.
Yeah I just don't agree with this. They never kill you at mid range unless you don't fire or something and let them get in close range on you. As far as close range I would argue simply don't engage them at close range. It's like me trying to battle a sniper at long range with a machine gun. You don't fight a battle with the wrong weapon or at the wrong range.

son of a bitch. I was feeling a shitload of a random lag for the past week and then somebody here mentioned that accidental torrenting fucked up their connection so I check and I see that I'm running utorrrent at max upload speed..

P90 in the Airport felt like cheating. 21/4.
Also, ranking needs a re-do. I was 8/1, but weas ranked lower tha the guy who went 8/THIRTY-FIVE because he had an assist. 35. How the fuck?
Beezy and I had a Headquarters match where we were up 120 points and about one more cap from winning the game, and then someone from the opposing team killed us all with a tactical nuke. :lol
#MW2 Xbox 360 update: Latest patch just passed certification. They just need to push it live. Goodbye Javelin glitchers!
I don't know Will. You were there one minute and gone the next. *shrugs*
is it just me or is it a lot easier to dodge claymores this time
Well it's happened. MW2 is now in the mainstream news for the No Russian level.
i dont know how you guys find the time and or will to play that much, i usually play 1-3 games then shut it offhad it for around a month since launch and it took about 2.5 days of gametime to get up there. That time was split between my brother and I but there was a week of finals in there so we definitely obsessed.
What happened to you yesterday, Willco?
BORE squad gettin' it DONE tonight. Good games Cajole and Beezy.:rock
Just played in one of those glitched matches where everyone has infinite ammo for everything. Absolutely nuts.
New patch is going to fix the unlimited ammo glitch, nerf the 1887s and stop public matches from dropping into private.They'd be dumb not to. It's the most unbalanced weapon in the game.
TAR+grenade launcher+red dot scope+semtex :hump
I was toying with the FAL today and meh. I wish more guns would open up.
Noob tubes are cool, I mean you onlt get 2 shots and they are great for clearing people that are capping a flag.
just started playing this again
who would have thought the most powerful modern weapon was a antique shotgun from 1887? a dozen of these guys on the front line would make an unstoppable military power.
Infinity Ward :bow2
The Winchester 1887 contains multiple references to the weapon from the film Terminator, as they both have a sawed-off stock and barrel, as well as a large lever loop allowing for one handed cocking (also known as "flip-cocking"). While using the 1887 Akimbo, the player spins the lever around their finger to reload. This is also how Arnold reloads the shotgun in the movie. Also, when players use Akimbo 1887s, they are 40% more likely to spawn as a soldier with dark sunglasses, another reference to the Terminator.
Even with stopping power, I didn't think the FAL was as strong as I would have liked.
The FAL makes a great mid-range sniper once you get the acog/thermal scope for it (what is that like 150 kills?). It's kind of awesome how the MG4 light machine gun is more accurate than any sniper rifle if you put the foregrip on it.This is true. It's basically a one hit kill, especially on hardcore.
The Xbox 360 version will be getting the same, just waiting on ETA on it's release. PC gets same plus fix for hacked textures & altered IWDs
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie #MW2 PS3 patch just went live! Includes the Akimbo 1887s re-balancing, fix for Prestige hack, & fix for Public "private" Match. 360/PC soon

but no really, there's no point playing unless you get some unlocks and shit
but no really, there's no point playing unless you get some unlocks and shit
thats the problem with this game and the one before it
everyones only motivation is to unlock stuff, but when they get it, i think some fat diabetic black guy said it best: the thrill is gone, baby, GONE
everyones like dogs chasing cars, they wouldnt know what to do with it when they catch it, they just DO, i think some dead guy said that in a movie once
Has anyone gotten the hardened edition? I can get a ridiculously good deal on the PS3 version, but is that artbook thingy actually something to have, or is it the usual crappy pack-in shit?
How is the rebalancing of the 1887 guys? People finally stopped using them?
Alright, just got word the #MW2 Xbox 360 patch should start going live at 2 AM. You can now remove my face from your dartboards... for now.
Beezy + CajoleJuice + Willco = THE HOLY TRINITY
Challenge us at HEADQUARTERS and we will DOMINATE YOU.
Willco, my brother is playing aka making my stats worse than they already were.
Are there any issues with the PC version at this point? And is there a limit on the installs? I can get it dirt cheap, but the dude already installed it once.
Goddamn this game is overrated like fuck, jesus christ.Have you played online yet? It's all I play and I love it. I never played COD4 or 5.
the acr sucks
better than the M16No. Fuck you.
better than the M16No. Fuck you.spoiler (click to show/hide)ACR is my 2nd favorite behind the M16.[close]
I guess that's true, but you don't end up in a lot of situations in this game where you need to rapid fire. M16 is best for picking people off one by one.
Anyone try the F2000? How is it?
I don't like being forced to use Scavenger. Pass.
Anyone try the F2000? How is it?It has a really high rate of fire of all assault rifles but it can't hit anything because there's a lot of recoil and the accuracy isn't too hot. it's sort of like a smg you can put a grenade launcher on.

Source – Infinity Ward not developing Modern Warfare 3January 7th, 2010 @ 14:00
By Patrick Garratt
Infinity Ward is not creating Modern Warfare 3, according to a VG247 source, and is instead working on something “completely new”.
The details come from US recruitment channels.
Infinity Ward has this far avoided the issue of its work after Modern Warfare 2, saying no decision had been made on further projects in the run up to the shooter’s launch last November.
“Right now we don’t have a clue what our next game is going to be, and we won’t know what it will be until we finish with Modern Warfare 2, which won’t be for a while,” studio frontman Rob Bowling told IGN UK last October.
MW2 DLC packs are scheduled to release this “spring” as a timed 360 exclusive.
It’s unclear where the third game will be made if IW really has gone AWOL from the series.
We were told by one dev source that a Canadian studio was handling it, but another pointed to newly-formed Sledgehammer Games, headed by ex-Visceral bosses Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey.
Sledgehammer, based in the Bay Area, is currently recruiting for a multiplayer designer with “five years experience working on current AAA multiplayer shooters for current consoles and PC.”
The identity of Sledgehammer’s first project is yet to be announced.
Activision’s only Canadian developer is Vancouver-based Radical Entertainment, the studio behind last year’s free-roaming adventure, Prototype.
Rumour surrounding the Call of Duty franchise in general is escalating. A report yesterday claimed that Treyarch is currently putting together a story-focused, Vietnam-based episode in the series for release later this year.
Activision had not returned calls at the time of writing.
That was pretty much a given. All the speculation points to them doing CALL OF DUTY: SPACE MARINES next.
I have now invested 100 hours into MW2 multiplayer. :lol
It's so absurd, racist, homophobic, and sometimes elaborate.
If I play hardcore, I can usually get a team game going through stangers, but regular TDM and such is pretty much devoid of teamwork. I won't play Headquarters without a party, because nobody works together in random games - it drives me nuts. That's why I usually stick to hardcore.
I played one match of hardcore and was thinking about mostly playing that mode now that I don't care about any upgrading levels and such anymore. The only thing I would upgrade now is to the desert eagle from the revolver.
also, just an observation, but the scrambler perk is terrible and in the many hours I've played this game it has only given me trouble once compared to the hundreds of times it helped. It acts like a sonar to tell you where an enemy is. A lot of time I'd be running around, see the radar get fuzzy, and start to pay closer attention to the camping spots to kill the guy.
I use Commando because surviving falls is ridiculously hilarious and great. Jumping from that one sniper spot on Afghan, landing on the tail of the plane, then jump again to the ground right next to the bunker is an awesome way to get a drop on the people hiding out in there.
Another reason I wish this game let you save replays was to capture all my throwing knife kills. I feel like the people I kill should thank me for giving them an awesome video to watch before they respawn. The best is when you try to knife a guy and he tries the same but you both miss and he charges at you, then you fuck him up with a throwing knife because he didn't expect it at all.
You listen to all the babble? I have the headset next to me on the couch with the volume off.
Holy crap..I'm getting absolutely annihilated starting over on the 360 version. It's just unreal. The first 3 games I have 7 kills and 32 deaths, and it's not because I suck. By the time I was done with the ps3 version (lvl 55), I was easily getting over 1:1 even with my wacky akimbo uzi classes on wide open maps.
The multi-player really puts a huge disadvantage on people who are starting new after the game's been out a while. I'm gettin slaughtered out there. I don't even feel like playing it's so bad...I wish I could transfer my XP so I could use my blinged silenced famas w/red dot + cold-blooded pro kit, but it seems sooooo far away starting from scratch.
:bow AUG HBAR
There is definitely a slightly harder curve at the beginning compared to COD 4 mainly because a gun like the M16 isn't unlocked right off the bat but when I prestiged I didn't have that hard a time getting back up to being decent. The FAMAS is a pretty good beginning AR for example.FAMAS is the best gun in the game, bro. Better than the M16 because the burst is tighter giving accuracy at long range. The FAMAS is an absolute monster
im not like a pro at the game, just average 1:1 player, but the #1 tip i can give to anyone is use Silencers
Bling with red dot or holographic + a silencer + stopping power is an unstoppable combo. A silencer is so important. Forget Cold-blooded (i meant to say stopping power in above post)...nobody uses UAVs at higher levels unless it's from a crate and all the air support is easily taken out with a stinger in a matter of seconds. Just use a silencer + RDS on an AR + stopping power

The nice thing is that there are a legit number of ways to play based on somebody's playing style. The only gun in regular TDM that I use a silencer on is a SMG. In hardcore playlists and some of the other regular playlists that becomes a lot more important though imo. Of course it also depends a bit on the play style. The other thing I've noticed is, that its the same with certain guns and maps. Some of the guns that some people don't use that much or actively think are crap in certain situations are quite useful. I kick ass with that MG4 with an ACOG I mentioned on wasteland because I play in a way that maximizes the use of it by being this long range spray guy that can pick people off from really far off simply based on the the relative accuracy of the weapon for a LMG and the number of bullets it can spit out. Me utilizing the hard beat sensor on one of my layouts was an epiphany.
It even varies a little bit depending on how the other team is playing. Sometimes I have to switch up my layout based on what the other team is using. A lot of fast speedy guys definitely will have me switch my class to handle players like that. There is just a lot of variations to be able to accommodate how I choose to play in certain situations which is nice.
I couldn't imagine NOT using cold-blooded in hardcore TDM.
You're out of your goddamn mind. >:(QuoteThere is definitely a slightly harder curve at the beginning compared to COD 4 mainly because a gun like the M16 isn't unlocked right off the bat but when I prestiged I didn't have that hard a time getting back up to being decent.

After getting owned in hardcore team deathmatch in MW2 with Willco, I played regular team deathmatch with two friends and went on a crazy win streak. I placed first in almost every match and usually had twice more kills than deaths. The one match that we lost was because I was being an idiot. I kept running around trying to knife people for the first half. It was already too late when I decided to switch back to the M16, but I was still first on my team.
The best match though was on Skidrow when we were down by more than 1000 near the end of the match and I managed to go on a mini rampage. I killed a guy outside, 3 more in a building, and another that came into the building right after. Used predator missile and got one kill. Right after I used it I killed another guy in the same building. Called in a Harrier. It got one kill and then I got another in the same building. Called in a Pavelow. No one else came in the building after that and the Pavelow just kept racking up kills. Time ran out and we won by like 300 points. This was my best MW2 night ever and I owe it all to the M16 and the heartbeat sensor. :lol
No, they both have identical stats except that the M-16 reloads a little faster and the FAMAS has a little less damage drop off over range. I prefer the M-16 though since you rarely ever get to shoot anybody from that far away.You're out of your goddamn mind. >:(QuoteThere is definitely a slightly harder curve at the beginning compared to COD 4 mainly because a gun like the M16 isn't unlocked right off the bat but when I prestiged I didn't have that hard a time getting back up to being decent.

The way the game sometimes throws you into matches that are almost over makes it hard to take the win/loss thing seriously, or at least that's what I've convinced myself to think. The K/D thing, though, that shit is serious business.
yeah I remember that. But I was technically half-right since you could go under the hedges.http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_2_Weapons
Not to be an ass, but you should know better than to quote from that site after your Wasteland screw-up.
Fuck the FAMAS though. I thought it was ass when I first got the game.
The K/D obsession kinda sucks because it make some people play like distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on objective based games.
I was wrong about the AK47. It's the best close-mid range assault rifle. It sucks at long distance though. Now I don't wanna prestige. :(
Had a fun time on Spec Ops with chow chow. I suck at sniping so the sniper missions are difficult but it was enjoyable.

yea that was great fun
what other games do you play?
What's your setup?
I don't use silencers, cold-blooded or anything on my sniper class for that reason. You'd be dead before it's useful.
Yeah, I always use ninja for this reason.I don't use silencers, cold-blooded or anything on my sniper class for that reason. You'd be dead before it's useful.
Honestly, I've found that cold blooded and ninja or silencers are really only useful for those that do alot of flanking (keeps u off their uavs and such) and moving in general.
I know a lot of people are doing it, but I haven't ran into it yet.
Me and my friends went on a winning streak in team deathmatch last night. I was known as "The Game Changer" because I was always able to pull off a killstreak to tie or get the lead whenever we were losing. :lol
We never do regular team deathmatch. I just recently found out that I'm good at it. Get on tonight at like 7-8.I know a lot of people are doing it, but I haven't ran into it yet.

How come this never happens when we play ???

Agreed. I did horrible when we tried Ground War.We never do regular team deathmatch. I just recently found out that I'm good at it. Get on tonight at like 7-8.
I much prefer the non big team version of any game type myself. Lowers your chance of random kills and makes it more about how you perform as an individual good or bad.
I only play Ground War
I only play Ground WarSame though I wish it had more domination involved.
sigh.
I switched my button layout from Default to Tactical so there won't be this constant brain freeze when I start switching between this and BC 2 but man is it difficult to make the adjustment. You wouldn't think two buttons swapped around would make that big a difference but it really does. Its gonna take me awhile to get use to this.
doesnt that swap the melee and duck/crouch buttons?
doesnt that swap the melee and duck/crouch buttons?
Yeah. I switched because like I said BC 2 places the crouch on the right analog press (And the melee on the LB button). I need to find some sort of compromise since I plan to play both and I know I would constantly be fucking up as I switched between them. The only real solution for me (outside of buying some programmable controller I guess) was to switch to tactical and adjust to crouch on the right analog. I need to make whatever adjustment I can to make the transition between the two smooth.
It sounds minor but after you've played a series for hundreds of hours its like muscle memory and hardwired into your brain so its hard to get use to. I'm starting to adjust though. The knifing is better because its a responsive actual button click so you know what you are getting everytime. But the crouch toggling part is less responsive now in comparison which sort of hurts me since I'm a croucher and slightly camperish. Even now when in close quarter situations there is a temptation for me to press in the right stick but eventually I'm sure I will get over it.
yea I remember setting that in COD4 and never looking back. I did it when I got MW2 as well. I cant play with my melee on the stick sadly. It annoys the hell out of me.
Getting back into the groove of things now, k/d up to 1.35. Unlocked the AC-130 instead of the chopper gunner, and ditched the stupid distractive predator missile. Now if people would only stay in the open when my AC-130 appears.
- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
- Fix for "infinite care package" exploit.
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
- Fixes to prevent various XP hacks (including the prevention of negative XP)
Note to PS3 Player: The PS3 still needs to receive one additional fix, regarding the infinite care package exploit - not included in this patch - which will come in the near future.
Yeah, I mostly unlocked the AC-130 because I like causing big explosions, and because I know it scares the shit out of everyone on the other team. Not the best choice for long killstreaks, but hey.
If it's really just a map pack with no new guns or perks or kill streaks and it's 1200 space bucks there better be like one dozen maps.
Absolutely right I'm entitled, you shill.
do they become free after 6 months or something?If Halo map pack trends apply, the Stimulus Pack will be 1000 points in 2013.

Salvage - a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars
Crash - a war-torn urban environment (CoD4)
Overgrown - features a massive dry creek bed (CoD4)

Sweet, now even more reason not to buy this map pack :lol
There needs to be options for map pack-only multiplayer and also integrated DLC into the regular playlist, as another separate mode, of course.
Crash feels ALOT smaller to me now after being used to the standard mw2 maps.
We'll be integrating the new maps into all playlists as well as enabling Double XP for all playlists tomorrow

Completely agreed and that was my first thought also. It sort of feels almost too small because I've gotten use to the size of the new maps which on average are bigger in MW 2 than COD 4.
From 402 on twitterQuoteWe'll be integrating the new maps into all playlists as well as enabling Double XP for all playlists tomorrow
(http://i36.tinypic.com/34oc9af.jpg)
Modern Warfare 2 playlists now updated. They should all have double XP and include the new maps in their rotation. May need to restart!
I like CTF now that I've been forced to play it. Don't really care for Seek and Destroy though. New maps are hot.
I prefer that design otherwise the kill streaks are wasted. I specifically save mine for the correct situational use and the holdover if our team is performing decently. It's why even if you win the first half you don't go crazy and let someone rack it up on the other side because they will win the second half.
I try to not get wrapped up in the bitching about this game, because in spite of its numerous flaws I enjoy playing it very much.
BUT
WTF at having killstreak rewards carry over from round to round in game types like HQ, sabotage, etc. I played a couple rounds yesterday and there was a sick dude in the lobby who would go like 15-2 in the first round, and then as soon as round two begins: stinger, harrier, chopper gunner, GG. It's crazyness.
What's tejb?I think that he is the most popular mw2 uploader on youtube with more than 100,000 subscribers:

Skidmark plays a good amount of MW 2 and is pretty good at the objective gametypes. (Certainly better than me. :-[)
You know, if anyone invites a member you should probably PM me and let me know. We get a lot of spam registrants so it's hard to pick out who is legit and who isnt. I'm not deliberately making people wait to be approved.I guessed that that might be the case. I tried to send an email to the website's email account thats in the faq thread, but got a message that the email can't be delivered, I also checked your myspace but thought that it might not be the best place to ask you about forum related issues so I explained my situation to stoney and he helped me out.
Maybe
I finally got around to using the ACR and it just may be my new favorite gun. :o
ACR :bow2
I just unlocked it a couple days ago. :-[
Have you used the red dot site on it? I just got that last night but haven't tried it yet.
April 7, 2010 - Activision announced that the Stimulus Package, the first map pack released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, was downloaded over one million times on Xbox Live in the first 24 hours of its release on March 30.
Priced at $14.99, first-week sales reached 2.5 million downloads in total. The Stimulus Package is currently only available for download on Xbox Live, making these sales all the more impressive for Activision.
Comparatively, first-week sales of the first map pack for Call of Duty: World at War reached one million downloads across Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and only cost $10 at launch.

I did play the steam version for the free weekend stuff. Pretty good. Unfortunately it would take me so long to get my skill up on the PC version (not unlocking stuff I mean, actual playing skill level relative to other people) that its not really a viable option so I'll stick to the console version.
I have always wanted to ask this to someone who has played both, what was the difference in how people play, do they camp more on the pc? are they better at aiming? does this somehow change the gameplay and how people move in open spaces?
Good game, lots of camping was going on some of the games which gave us the opportunity to sit down and take our time talking shit about some other members :lol
:shh
:lol
Yea, there was a lot of camping in quite a few of those games.
Skidmark, want to play sometime this week? I'm pretty rusty.Sure, just add me on xbox live and we can play.
I just played a match with a player who's name was blue. Taint was the name but the A was a picture of the A button on the controller. Anyone know if there is any significance of having a blue name?
True, thats what I always do too, although I do come across many who have such gamertages, almost daily.I just played a match with a player who's name was blue. Taint was the name but the A was a picture of the A button on the controller. Anyone know if there is any significance of having a blue name?
It's someone who has modded their Gamertag. If you do a search on google or youtube you can find little videos on how to do it.
I always report them. Even though they may not be cheating because you can do it without actually cheating, I don't risk it and just immediately file a report.
Makes sense. When I viewed his profile it was under a different name.I just played a match with a player who's name was blue. Taint was the name but the A was a picture of the A button on the controller. Anyone know if there is any significance of having a blue name?
It's someone who has modded their Gamertag. If you do a search on google or youtube you can find little videos on how to do it.

I'd love to play with you guys but I'd just drag your team score down. I'm pretty solid on Favela, Terminal, and bailout. I usually do pretty poor on Afghan, Derail, and Estate.
You guys are way better than me.
sorry I couldnt stay on and play with you guys. Having to work sucks. But it pays bills.A life, lucky you man.
That only happens for you Skidmark. When I prestige it gives me a manly 21 gun salute!:lol :lol :lol
:P
Did the map pack come down in price yet?
Cool. Do you have anything you can share that you've recorded thus far?I have recorded a lot and have deleted most of it too, one match is about 1 GB in size.
Activision has sent over a lovely mail, informing us that Infinity Ward’s second pack of multiplayer maps for Modern Warfare 2 will hit first on Xbox Live June 3.Not a bit surprising there, is it? PC and PS3 will likely get it a month later, should it follow in the Stimulus Pack’s footsteps.The Resurgence Pack features five maps and to celebrate, there will be not one but two Double XP weekends. First one starts Friday, May 28, and the second on Friday, June 4 – just [more] in time for the new map pack – coincidence? We think not!
I hope RDR is good enough that I won't feel compelled to buy it. But I probably will. :-\
The new Modern Warfare 2 map pack, Resurgence, has been detailed in an interview with Major Nelson.Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling confirmed that the two old maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to return will be Vacant and Strike. The three new maps confirmed for the DLC are known as Trailer Park, Carnival and Fuel.Trailer Park is seen as a “super condensed” map, cutting through abandoned trailers and is pretty much “a maze”, according to Bowling. Carnival is a daytime map and a “decimated amusement park”, full of rides you’d tend to expect there like fun houses and rollercoasters.The final map is called Fuel, which is a “sniper haven”, full of wide open space in an oil refinery and is “completely unique” from other maps in the Resurgence pack.
There is a campaign in MW2?
Having the general as the main villain threw all the game's story credibility out of the window.
Except I wish there was just a TDM playlist for the new maps. Or something to separate the maps. I just don't ever, ever want to play Sabotage ever again.
