Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. I just went 50-6 on Afghan playing Headquarters. I called in two chopper gunners. We won 200-35.

This is about the fifth or sixth time you've mentioned this, and honestly I've hardly ever noticed that happening.

It happens to me too, and it happens a LOT. I've killed the same guy 4-5 times in a row because he comes around a corner - I kill him, then within 1-2 seconds he's coming around the corner again. Most times though the person spawns behind you and before you can do anything they are on you.
This is the one thing about the game that is really frustrating me.

I think I'm done with this until they patch (if they patch) the spawning. Every time I kill someone and they immediately spawn 10 feet away from me and kill me is getting me closer and closer to smashing my controller to pieces.

Have fun.

Ya know, I was going to post the same thing. No offense to you Kev but you've said "you're done" quite a few times now yet you've yet to put it down. If the game taxes your patience or puts you in any sort of state of mental instability then take a break.

I was just reading today that apparently the FAL gets a small damage boost if you use the holographic sight (much like how the AK-47 got a damage penalty for using the red dot sight in CoD 4). It raises the long range damage from 35 to 40, which means that with stopping power, it becomes a 2-shot kill at all ranges. Normally, the FAL is 2 shots at close range and 3 at long range regardless of stopping power, but with a holographic sight and stopping power, it's 2 shots wherever they are. It even works with Bling, except when you go holographic + silencer (in which case it does its original damage numbers). It seems like a bit of a cheat/exploit to use it, but on the other hand the FAL is pretty outmatched in core anyway and the little extra damage doesn't make a difference in hardcore.

Other interesting tidbits I found:

- The FAMAS and M16 actually aren't the same. They have the same maximum and minimum damage values, but the FAMAS does its max damage over a much greater distance.
- Same applies to the ACR vs. the M4A1/F2000. They all have the same damage, but the ACR's damage takes longer to drop off.
- The MP5k does its maximum damage for quite some time and only starts dropping off once you get to ranges that are so far away that it's hard to hit anything due to the recoil. This probably explains why several people prefer it over the UMP, which has a very minor damage fall-off but it falls off much earlier.
- Shotguns do between 20 and 75 damage per pellet at close range, and have either 6 or 8 pellets per burst. Full details at the link.

Wow, research much Luca? :awe: Lots of interesting info...I still do not like the FAL. Odd because I loved the G3 in CoD 4 which is essentially the same gun.

The M16 was a cool gun to use when I unlocked it, but I did a read up and found the FAMAS is most definitely the preferred weapon for the fact that it's just that much more powerful at long range. It also has a tighter spread over a long range as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Funny thing is I never even touched the FAMAS until after I played around with the M16.

The FAMAS probably has the single best iron sights in the game, I didn't realize it had a longer range for the "max damage." That said I think I like the M16 more. The shorter break between bursts I like.

It happens to me too, and it happens a LOT. I've killed the same guy 4-5 times in a row because he comes around a corner - I kill him, then within 1-2 seconds he's coming around the corner again. Most times though the person spawns behind you and before you can do anything they are on you.

True, but neither you nor I keep repeating that we're quitting until it's fixed.

Really? Cause 3 times last night I saw myself killing the guy in the beginning of the killcam. That's fairly ridiculous. Maybe it's just my constantly running style of play.

 

[Kev]

That's funny cause neither do I

 

[Kabob]

Unlocked my M16 and got 10 kills so I put an M203 on it. I got probably 25 kills with the M203 in two games...it was ridiculous. First game at Karachi I got two triple kills with a Predator and another with the M203. It was a bunch of the stereotypical 12 year olds, but these guys liked to "stick together." I got 15 with it that round plus several more M16 kills. Next game was at Wasteland and they decided they were all going to camp the tunnel...M203 + scavenger = evil on that part. I'd launch my two grenades in there, run around and find scavenger pick ups, launch more in...it was great. Ended up 26-5 on it (got killed by a guy with dual blinged 1887's twice near the very end). I had to leave for work after that...wish I could have stayed in that room for a while, I was dominating.

 

[Dangerer]

I pretty much only use assault rifles in this game and my god is the M203 + scavenger + danger close an awesome combo. I get so much hate from other players for it but it's no where near as powerful as the akimbo 1887s were and it's a great counter to marathon commandos

Haha, let's be honest... I could never quit. I need my MW2 fix.

I could be wrong but I don't remember Kev saying hes going to quit before now. The only person who I remember that kept threatening to quit was jbourne77

This.

I will admit I probably do bitch a lot about the spawning, but that's because it almost ruins what could be my favorite game. Maybe if we could disable the payback "money explosion" I would notice it less often and be less annoyed.

I would be happy with just a 5-10 second delay on the respawn on all game types.

Never, that would ruin it. I hate spawning far away from the action. Similarly though I hate spawning right next to someone and getting instantly killed. I don't think that IW will ever even consider patching this (as they probably don't see it as an error).

 

[stag3]

ah so that's why money flies out when you kill someone, i thought it was stupid and made no sense

 

[stag3]

there have been a lot of times i spawn in between 2 enemies with no teammate nearby and getting insta killed as soon as i spawn, WTF, fix this shit

 

[purbeast0]

played this game for the first time in a few weeks on new years day.

seems people have found new places to camp! i wasnt even playing TDM and was getting killed left and right mainly by campers.

reminded me that i dont have fun playing this game and i put it back into its case.

Well, you'll never enjoy the game that way.

You only played a little bit and got stuck with some campers, it happens. Not all games are like that. Eventually you will even learn to know where campers are and be more aware of your surroundings. You shouldnt' give up on one of the greatest games ever just b/c you got owned in MP.

 

[JoPh]

got this error last night

someone called a nuke in and the spilt second before the nuke hit. the game crashed and said disc unreadable.

i have the game installed to the hard drive also. is this a bug or just bad luck

so i had to start the game back up and everything works fine.

you must be new to this thread or forum.

I have come to the conclusion that the FAL + ACOG is ass.

Joph, same thing happened to me EXCEPT I was playing Spec Ops......strange

 

[AstroManLuca]

FAL is pretty much FAIL in any configuration if you're not playing hardcore. Crappy iron sights, lots of recoil, and no real advantages over the FAMAS/M16.

 

[cyphilis]

I have come to the conclusion that the FAL + ACOG is ass.

With the chance that I will be banished forever as a "CHEATER".... I will admit I do have, and have used the intensafire (rapidfire) mod in one of my controllers. Granted, it is pretty much useless on all the guns, except the FAL. That gun being single fire, with a red dot scope is lethal! I don't use it much anymore, but that gun is just plain mean with rapidfire on. You also have to use the scavenger perk because you run outta bullets pretty fast. The FAL with just about any other sight, yeah its not that great. With thermal its not to bad, but doesn't compare to a sniper rifle.

 

[Cuda1447]

I disagree about the FAL being ass. I use it A LOT. That combined with a shotty is a very nice combination, IMO. Shotty is great for close range, while FAL is a solid mid/long range alternative to a sniper. Snipers are slow to zoom and if you miss its difficult to get a moving/firing back target. The FAL you can miss and keep unloading though while still being VERY accurate. It's not the best gun ever, but it is definitely a very solid option.

 

[stag3]

wow i could not buy a kill last night.
what's the easiest way to get cold blooded pro?
i've had it on ALL my classes now for over 2.5 weeks and
im still at 16/40 shit

i was thinking about just grabbing a friend, starting a private match
and we take turns killing eachother thru walls, would that work?
