Yeah, it was right after they captured B at the start of the game. I was shooting at the guy capping, it popped up that they'd captured it and about 10 seconds later I was done...

I personally went 2-12 and was badly out sniped on that match.. lol. I made up for it on the next match where I went 25 - 2 and got to my ac130 on bail out though.

Played a few games last night with RAMM and blowfish (separately). Sorry I dissappeared RAMM, my modem (stupid Charter rental) has been dying on me lately, disconnected me in the first minute or so of the game. Methinks it's time to call 'em and have it replaced, it's getting annoying. Was fun while it lasted though!

I only did so-so last night. Best moment though was getting the last kill of the game at long range with a non-stopping powere'd SCAR-H on Highrise when both teams were tied at 7400-7400. I actually went negative KDR on that match but the final kill to help the team made it worth it.

Fun times, once I finish unlocking attachments for the FAL and TAR hopefully I'll start scoring better!

Yep you ended up ok in that one I think it was 21-16 or something like that.

I was just way off last night. Seems like I was a split second slower than everyone last night. I do remember saving you twice on Highrise from guys coming up behind you but that was about all that went my way last night.

I think I was 13-16 that match, I went negative I know for sure. Starting off 0-5 didn't help and there were SO many guys camping it was nuts, especially around the elevators/barrels.

Yep the worst part for me was twice I spawned by the window, hopped down and bam tubed right there.

Lately it seems all of my Spawns are right in the thick of things and I am get wasted before I can even make a move. I don't remember having spawns this bad before.

I still love the game though.

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, on one of the games I played last night (I think it was that Highrise game) I was killed and watched the killcam, the guy literally had just spawned not 5 feet from me with my back to him...

Sometimes the spawning system in this game is frusterating...

 

[digiram]

I get the funniest deaths while sniping. Once, a guy stood behind me for a few seconds and planted a claymore. Another time a guy was right be hind me and blew up his cooked frag.

I lol'd so hard both times. Somehow, these guys are always able to get by my claymore.

Speaking of annoying BS, the matchmaking system is rather hit or miss. It doesn't seem to exclusively look at rank (which is good) nor score. I'll play a series of TDM with the same top people and it will consistently group 2-3 high scoring players that dominate on the same team. If I'm on their team, I end up middle of the pack and we win by a good margin. If I'm on the other team, we lose and I'm at or near top of the board.

I don't care about scores, just about having fun. It gets annoying when the uber-l33t MW2 guys get pigeon-holed onto the same team for 2-3 maps in a row.

Maybe I'm late to this particular bitch-fest 😉

I agree with the camping part. I played a good bit last night and camping was everywhere. I notice the later I go at night the camping gets worse. I can understand Domination when you are defending but team deathmatch and people dont move; It gets kind of boring. I think it has gotten worse since the new maps came out. Now everytime I play TDM goes almost the always goes close to the full time allowed on every map not just the new ones which is crazy IMO.

I had a good one the other night. Guy was calling in a predator missile or airstrike or something and I walked up on him. Planted a claymore right in front of him facing him, but far enough away that it wouldn't go off without some movement/input. He came out of Predator mode and looked at it. Looked around (I was crouching and looking under something, might have been a table), and tried shooting it. Still killed him, I got a good laugh.

I hear ya. I was in a match once where I went 27-5 and the rest of my team was negative..this was when I playing alone of course. We lost by one kill, and I was just about to flank and was behind about 5 people of the enemy team.

Damn, winning that one would have been great b/c I started the match off 0-5 before I went on a rampage.

I played another game last night with my buddies where we played a clan and we destroyed them in k/d, but they were really well coordinated in rushing the objective points. We ended up losing the match...that sucked, but it was good to see a team make the attempt to win by playing the objective. It was lots of fun as well as it was close and we were going back and forth.

I've been in a many domination matches where my team would capture a and b, and the other team would just camp out for the kills. So annoying!!!

 

[Kabob]

Oh I've played games where I've had a 6:1 kill ratio with over 30 kills but the rest of my team went negative and we still lost...it's frusterating.

Yeah, that sounds familiar. I had a game on Skidrow where I went something like 34-8 and the next best person on my team was 9-18, with some guy being 3-20ish. We lost by six kills. Very, very frustrating.

And I agree with the camping crap. It's been terrible lately. Last night I played against an entire team of snipers on Derail, with them all camping on the TF141 side on the rooftops and train. We got slaughtered.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Yeah, the camping can get bad, especially during peak times. That's when I load up the M203 + Danger Close. Camp that bitches!

 

[Kabob]

So...there seems to be alot of no-aim snipers nowadays. Ran into a guy on Wasteland who literally tapped his aim button for 1/4 second and fired with perfect accuracy (at closeish range). I suppose it's too much to ask for them to nerf that...

I've seen this often as well. Are they cheating somehow or is this pure skill?

 

[Kabob]

I don't think it's either, I think they're just abusing the system. I think that the came considers you "aiming down the sights" the moment the you pull the left trigger.

It is possible they are using an exploit. I will not say what it is and how they are doing it b/c it will only spread the wild fire for cheaters who like to use GOOGLE.

It is a pretty complicated hack and how someone spends this much time just to cheat on a video game is beyond me.

So does anyone know what killstreaks danger close affects? It is supposed to intensify explosions. so does that mean it won't do anything for the chopper gunner?

Also do you really notice a major difference with grenade launcher attachment, secondary launcher and hand grenades while using danger close?

I'd love to hear what people's strategies are while using danger close. I've read online that a lot of people use it with the One Man Army perk to keep reloading all their gear. Other people use scavenger with it.

It increases the blast radius of your explosives. I definitely notice the difference in my noob tube and launchers with it. It also increases the damage done by the blast of your ac-130 and Predator for surer.

I only use it on nube tube maps like wasteland and bailout. So, if you see my name and I'm on the opposite team at wasteland, do not enter the bunker..hahahaha.

Potentially some information for you guys here: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Danger_Close

It makes a very noticible difference in the kill radius of explosives (M203s included). Works with Javelins/RPG/AT-4s as well.

Lots of fun.

It isn't a hack, it's just called quickscoping. I've done it a bit, but I'm not good enough at it to go positive while doing attempting it.

From what I've gathered, anytime you scope in your crosshairs immediately go to the center of your screen (like they haven't swayed yet). So, you can scope in, hold L3 for steady aim, and fire off a round in like .2 seconds with almost perfect accuracy, you just have to make sure you know where your crosshairs will be when you scope in (aka dead center of screen). Sometimes I forget to hold my breathe for steady aim and it still works.
