If anyone is still up it looks like CQ is live.
Got to play against Enigma on Scrapmetal. For some reason he switched over in the last few secs, probably just to get the win.

lol @ me getting 99% accuracy. Its too bad they dont keep track of the 1v1 record, cause I kicked his ass! Well, SPAS-12 vs L96 in cq will win every time, but the dude is quick with those headshots. He had a spectacular one on me where he jumped off the stairs and headshotted me before I could go into ADS. I also caught his ass in the air a few times. Crap like that only works on me once. Playing conquest domination with good players is going to be really tough. Its the small circular design that has people shooting you in the back all the time. Its basically TDM. There are some 64 player servers running CQ...that must be madness. It'll be interesting to see how these kinds of maps play out once the strategies start to form.
And I suck at Gunmaster. Get stuck on the Magnum 44, as I never use it. I was also stuck on a sniper rifle, which was pissing me off cause thats my bread and butter, but it felt weird and the reload was really slow. Also, up close shots to the chest was only doing like 50% or less damage. After the third or so game of leading then getting stuck on this POS, I paid attention to what it was. Turned out it was the M417, and I was treating it like a bolt action: reloading after every shot. lol F me. The game is so fast and it had a scope, so I thought it was the new bolt action or one that I dont use. So problem solved, but then I got stuck on the knife. Its BS cause half the time it doesnt do shit when you are facing someone, so its really random...you almost have to come behind someone. I was rushing around and my frickin teammates would shoot people right before I got to them. Anyways, best placing was 2nd. CODs version of this is better. Heres a tip though, join a server with few players, or one that is capped at 8. You shouldnt have a problem placing, as half the guys are still on handguns when someone wins. On the higher player count if you get stuck on a weapon you are done. I was always leading, then stuck on magnum a little too long, stuck on M417

a little too long, and you go from 1st or 2nd to 6 or 7. There are no ties, as ranking is determined by points. And I still have a problem using the grenade launcher, so this mode is always going to be a problem for me. It was sphincter clinching experience, especially when you feel things slipping away...
For some reason, I only got to play Scrapmetal, and I played like 7 games, on three different servers.
