A have been feeling a bit meh about MW2. So recently I changed my killstreaks. Since my favorites have been maxed out on the challenges anyway.
I always thought sentry games for kills was cheesy. But I didn't realize that calling it in, getting the package, and setting it up and moving it is a pretty good challenge on it's own.
I also went to Precision Airstrikes. Funner than I thought. It's rewarding to get a bunch of kills by getting the right angle.

The sentry gun is a bit fun. I find it the same as a pavelow really. Either you set it up great and get plenty of kills. Or it gets killed after killing one person lol. Same as a pavelow either does well or gets shot down right away lol.

Played a game of Ground War last night on Scrapyard, guy on the other team went 75-3 sitting in a corner (away from all the fighting) and lobbing semtex grenades and M203 rounds at the "B" flag and then OMAing his ammo back. He called in 3 AC-130s...

Pissed me off pretty bad.

Wow... that guy's a dick. If I were in that game, I would've switched to my running class and stabbed the hell out of him. Then again, he might have friends watching his back while being a douche...so.. I don't know.

Anyhow, I've been running with an ACR silenced + SOH + SP + Ninja, and loving this class. So much fun running around and tagging groups of people with it. I gotta spas to back me up to. Usually run out of ammo quick with this class.

Fixed that for you.

He was in the top floor of the house. Also to start the match this guy lobbed an M203 from behind the house all the way to the "A" Flag and killed about 4-5 of us in the first 2 seconds of the game.

My best class seems to be a Red Dot UMP, SOH + SP + Ninja also with a shotty for backup.

I tend to stop more guys with the UMP than anything else so long as I am not shooting for distance.

What I am getting frustrated with is emptying a clip in someone dead in the chest or head and they not go down but they get off 1 shotgun blast from a damn long way away and I am dead. It sure seems as of late that I am getting killed by a shotgun from a further distance than most ARs - quite annoying.


Last night we had a Domination game on Vacant that was complete chaos. The other team was pinned down in a back room and our team was just hammering them with M203s, Semtex, RPGs, AT-4s etc left and right and they got totally pounded. It was funny when pj decided to roll into the room with his shield when were all beating the crap out of them. Good fun last night that's for sure.

[Kabob]

Yeah, I meant Salvage. So ridiculous...

 

[Bman123]

I have been very disappointed with the killstreaks. Sometimes you get a pave low and it get's so many kills, then other times it gets blown away before it can even shoot someone.
I changed my killstreak to 3-4-5. Normally no one shoots down a uav except for me. Sometimes I get a decent carepackage like ac-130 or chopper gunner and the predator missle is always good.

I'm actually sorta surprised you like the UMP, it's difficult for me to use sometimes. One thing you might consider though is ditching Stopping Power, the range on the UMP is very short (a little further than shotgun range) and with stopping power it's a 2 hit kill close and a 3 hit kill far away, without SP it's a 3 hit kill at all distances.

Not sure about lazy hits, it could be a connection issue but you seem to run fine usually. Odd.

Yeah, last night was a ton of fun for sure despite two rough games (the one at Salvage and one at Strike where the other team guy an AC-130 from a care package and got at least 15 kills with it, probably more like 20...absolutely ridiculous). Right after you left we played a game where everyone on our team grabbed a riot shield, I switched pretty quickly but the other guys didn't know what the heck to do, it was great.

Were you there for the game where our teammate got a nuke on Vacant?

 

[GCS]

Yep that was my next to last game. We had it won anyway.

Yeah we did the Riot Shield thing once way back on an Anandtech game night it was funny as hell and confusing.

I haven't seen them get shot down too fast recently. My biggest problem is playing Hardcore where everybody uses cold blooded, so most of the killstreaks are totally useless.

 

[mugs]

How do you do this? (Sorry it's upside down)

It's kind of distracting when you're on a team with one of these dumbasses

I found the best thing to do on hard core is care package, predator missle and precision airstrike. With the care package you may get a ac-130 or a chopper gunner. Even with cold blooded on you will get some kills as you'll see them running or know where to shoot.

I have a class with a aug hbar and stinger launcher. As soon as someone calls in a harrier or helicopter I will semtex myself just to blow up their killstreak. Nothing pisses me off more then playing with people who just run in the open and get blasted non stop by a harrier or chopper.

I will kill myself and lose my killstreak just to shoot down the harrier or chopper so the idiots I play with don't die 50 times. I have found that killing myself once to shoot down the killstreak gives us a better chance to win since the dummies wont die non stop.

 

[Bman123]

I have like 8 friends that I know in real life personally that I play with but we do the ground war to free for all glitch and we just kill each other. It's pretty fun talking smack to each other in free for all with all of us in there.

For some reason they don't like playing TD or ground war. I am sure we would win 90% of the games as we have some pretty good people. I have 2-3 ppl that will play TD with me and we do pretty good but I need more ppl to play TD with. I hate getting stuck with dumb people who just stand infront of you or just die like 15+ times a match.

Ya know it's a shame when you can go 19 and 0 and your team still loses. It's happened to me a few times and its very frustrating

Yep. I've gone 33-7 and had my team lose by 10 in TDM. Try figuring that one out. (Hint: It might have something to do with the bottom 3 guys on my team being 8-43 combined.)

I see..on Salvage that guy's gonna be hard to get to. There's gonna be people over looking C and B. Also people in the house looking right at you at A. Being at A is a huge disadvantage on that map. Best strategy for the map, if you start out at A, Rush C hard..Go over the mountain thing from A to C and launch flash bangs over the fence.

It's not a bad map, but definitely not a balanced map either.

 

[Kabob]

It's balanced just fine on TDM, but when you've got to stay stationary to capture a control point...that's when the balance goes away.

 

[Bman123]

Salvage is a very good map but like others have said in certain game modes there is no balance. I went 38-7 there playing demolition last night

 

[Kabob]

How do you do this? (Sorry it's upside down)

It's some sort of minor console hack. Anyone I see doing that gets a complaint filed against them. I don't care if it doesn't really affect me, they're still modding.

Sorry we didn't get a chance to play yesterday. Wednesday night is Forza night, I actually played maybe 3 or 4 games of MW2 afterwards but wasn't on very late.

 

[Beev]

I heard something a few days ago about IW looking at a way to remove noob tube OMA'ing. Does anyone know anything about this? Are they also looking at fixing witchblades too?

 

[Kabob]

I've heard nothing of it...since IW is no longer working on the game I assume that it's just a false rumor until there's an official word.

The problem is that theres too many people who dont want it fixed.

 

[Bman123]

It doesn't matter anymore nothing is gonna get fixed, patched updated etc. IW is done with the game right? My buddie's disc cracked right in the middle so he tried to call IW to get a replacement disc and he didn't get a answer, he tried calling numerous times.

It seems to me like they gave up and that really pisses me off. I'd much rather buy map packs for $15 then to buy the turd that black ops is gonna be. I cannot play a call of duty game when they have vehicles in the MP

 

[Kabob]

I remain curiously pessimistic about Black Ops as well. Treyarch has yet to make a good game and the promo material for the game worries me, but who knows, maybe we'll be surprised (not likely).

 

[Bman123]

I'm not expecting anything better then a polished turd from treyarch. COD 3 was balls, W@W was scrotum and black ops will probably the tip of the pecker

 

[Bman123]

I know right. I started domination on afghan last night and sure enough I see tubes raining from the sky like nobody's business. So I sat back and watched it this dude was hitting the damn center of the flag with almost every tube he shot. So I scratched that flag and went to the next one. What do you know the same thing. They were both at A I believe just raining tubes across the map..
