Hey, I was tired of staring at your ration in CoD 4! 😱 Honestly I need to focus more on my wins than on my kills...I had a 2:1 win ratio a few weeks ago and now it's in the low 1.7's...the issue is that I'm in control of my kill ratio, I've got to rely on 5 other people for my win ratio and playing mostly MTDM doesn't make it easy.

My win ratio is HORRIBLE in MW2. In cod4 i played with a full party of friends. I have since lost contact with them and play by myself almost all the time now. Have a hard time getting wins. My K/D is suffering a bit too because of it, but not too bad. I'm still having fun though so I guess that's all that matters.
 
And I too would be up for a private match. A good chance for you to get your multiplayer feet wet blowfish.



Tell me when and where and I will see what I can do (definitely not New Years Eve though as I won't be home - family event)

I've actually got no NYE plans...I do have a NYEE party though.

I'm off all day Friday.

Oh, here's a pic of the cat "helping" me. That was taken right before she jumped down, typically she sits either right in the dead center or right in front of my ammo count and watches.

"Cat of Duty" it is.

And yes, my wife was good enough to put santa on one of the speakers...part decoration part cat deterrant.

"Cat of Duty" or "Call of Kitty"?

Took a picture of my accolades (I don't have many from pg 5 or 6).

I've never seen explosive rounds before...
 
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

I just unlocked prestige mode and am actually excited to unlock everything again!

BAM BAM BOOM!
 

Yeah yeah yeah..you're not the first to say it. Honestly it looks alot worse in the pic than in real life (then again on black glass it shows up really well under flash and it's hard to see with the naked eye unless you're up close).
 
Ok so I finished the campaign side last night. Great game but RIDICULOUSLY SHORT!!

When an unskilled player like myself can complete this in about 6 hours gameplay time you know something is wrong.

Moving on the spec ops now.

Yesterday was a great day for me, I played the best games of my short tenure that is for sure.

My K/D ratio went from about .88 to .96, almost back at 1/1. I had a few bad games of 12-10s or 13-12s, but a few times I went 22-8, 20-3. My best game so far was a game on Karachi where I went 29-1. I should have gone 30-0 on that game but I got caught with my pants down (reloading dual rangers) and got knifed. Oh well, had a bunch of fun yesterday, that's for sure.
 
My cat used to watch my play Battlefield Vietnam on my PC. She loved it when I would fly the chopper around, and she would swipe at the other choppers I was shooting at (she was helping is what my wife would say). I have pics of that somewhere, I might have to dig them up and post them. Cats are really entertaining, especially when they watch you play video games. Now that my cat is older, she just sleeps on my legs when Im reclined playing the 360.
 
Yeah, both of the cats like sitting in my lap whilst I play the 360. Problem is that I like to rest my hands on my lap and the cats are in the way; plus they sometimes decide they want to "play" with my hands or the controller...

So, have you ever had the 1 kill away from a nuke and the cat disrupts incident?
 
Can anyone do a tutorial or basic introduction to quick scoping? I am not sure exactly how it's even done. Do you literally pull the left trigger (zoom) briefly and shoot right away?
 
Spec-Ops takes about as long (or longer) than the campaign.

I love Spec-Ops. Honestly, it's a lot more intense than the gameplay in the campaign.
I just haven't got around to finishing it because there is someone always online willing to play TDM with me.
 
I finally hit 1.0...took a while, but I'm proud of myself.

It's too bad you don't get to keep everything you unlock when you prestige. I really master all of the weapons and such, but you have to start from scratch when you prestige. I think I'm done with the one time prestige and will just work on mastering as many weapons as possible.
 
I'm on the PC version, but I just got out of a 3 hour session of Ground War on Rust. Someone created a never-ending game with kill streaks disabled. Probably the most fun I've had with the game thus far. Why is this not available for regular play!?
 
So when did the timestamps for the achievements get messed up? All of my achievements for this game that were earned in November are now dated December (like 12/10/2009 instead of 11/10/2009). This seems to be true for everyone on my friend's list as well.

EDIT: Must be an Xbox Live thing as it seems to be true for Left 4 Dead 2 as well.

EDIT2: Only appears incorrectly on Xbox.com. If I look at achievements on my Xbox everything is stamped correctly. Very odd.

I like starting from scratch. Then again I was the guy who on Counter Strike would only buy a Desert Eagle and scrounge around for a better weapon...it's sort of fun being the underdog.
