I've been trying to snipe for awhile today and it's not goin good at all. So many of the ppl online are so good at quick scoping that I'm getting blasted hard lol...

quick scoping isn't that hard. It takes a little bit of practice, and it's seems so unorthodox. Once you unlearn a couple of things, it's pretty easy.

My friends got online and we got into a huge free for all like always. It was too funny tonight. My one friend hasn't been on in days so he was talking alot of smack, I guess he had to make up for a few nights off. Well him and my other buddy really started going at it.

We ended up sitting in one corner while those two duked it out one on one and it was hilarious. He accused my neighbor of cheating so he prestiged and continued to own him. I think they played 3-4 games of one on one and we were in there just cracking up laughing. One of the best MW2 nights I've had in a long time

I love playing with friends, the free for all glitch is great. 8 of us in a free for all makes for some good funny times.

it will sound noob but this is the class i use

UMP 45 w/ silencer
Stinger

Mararthon Pro
Lightweight Pro
sitrep pro or ninja pro?

I play domination only and actually play to cap and defend flags. I keep my killstreaks to UAV, COunter UAV and predator. I always hold onto my predator until I hear the voice over alert that a flag is being captured. Then I light them up on whatever flag they are using.

Oh and when i use scavenger instead of marathon i use smoke grenades b/c they are awesome for capping flags.

Sorry i forgot to mention i have turtle beach x41 headsets that i use every game so i am able to pick up on smaller things. I'm guessing since i pretty much rush around to cap i should use ninja. but open to other people's experiences.

Smoke grenades are INCREDIBLY effective in domination, demolition, ctf and a few others. I cannot tell you how valuable and how many games I've won due to just laying down a couple smokes in a key situation. Smoke is probably the most undervalued item in the game.

Yeah I always have fun when playing domination with TEAM ORIENTED people who aren't on killstreak mode. I communicate insanely well and always let people know when I'm taking flags. I'll throw smoke down and ask for help capping it if anyone is near. It makes it really fun. Then I either have C4 to defend it or use frags to clear out groups of people in buildings or areas.

I'll be honest that i almost got rid of this game for a second time b/c of the frustration of not getting killstreaks and dealing with akimbo shotgun people. But now that i play solely to cap and defend flags it is great. I've also noticed that my K/D ratio has gone way up and i'm getting more killstreaks playing the objective than i was when i was trying to be a one man rambo!

One man rambo is for losers. Every game I play where someone is trying to be a hero we lose. I mainly play free for all now as I only have to count on myself but I do like playing demolition probably the best. Nothing like a good ole ninja defuse

Jumping from the second story of a building and killing someone whilst in mid-air with the MP5K = win.

Lol I got my buddy like that last night. We were on favela. He was in the blue room looking out the window up the hill. I ran and jumped from the rooftop across the street and got him with a headshot with my usp while I was in the air and it was a game winning kill.

When it showed the kill cam I was like aaauuuuggghhh when I jumped off the roof and got him everyone was laughing their arse off. It was my best kill cam ever

We have some funny stuff happen. I'm gonna have to record some gameplay and post it on YouTube. Especially when we do the 1 vs 1 in free for all.

I got a clutch S&D kill cam while playing 4v4 Team Tactical yesterday. I'm usually bomb runner, planted the bomb, and camped bomb site. My buddies all died, and I'm the only one left 3v1. I kill two that were trying to defuse and ran away from a third. I went around and flanked him, but he had the same idea and cut me off. I climb up a wall, and did not expect to see the enemy there. I jumped over him, turned around and just sprayed and prayed. He tried to knife me, but I killed him durring his knife attempt. Awesome victory.

Nice.

Reminds me of 2 weird things last night.

TDM on Wasteland I am in the pit with the 2 chain guns at Flag B. I am sniping from there and using the occasional chain gun. Next thing I know I hear shots right behind me (but not at me). I turn and there is an enemy sniper right there facing the other way. I am thinking WTF why didn't he kill me?? Screw it .. knife'em and back to the action -- very weird.

Then on Quarry I am running through the rocks up to the buildings on the right side of the map (not the conveyor belt area) and I have 2 teammates in front of me. Oddly enough an enemy runs right by me, he didn't shoot at me or knife me or jump and go BOO he just went by. So I sped up and knifed and moved on. Very odd

Not game winning kills mind you but still weird.

I had a great final kill last night on Quarry as well, I don't know if it was before or after you left though. I was chasing a guy down and he started running up a set of rocks into the overpass. Well, he jumped up and went left, I jumped up but before I could turn left his teammate sprinted past me (without seeing me) and I started chasing him. He gets to the window that looks up towards the oil tanks and crouches down to shoot, I get an easy knife kill.

On another note I started using a new weapon last night that I had maybe 5 kills total with previously...the PP2000. Wow it's great, I actually stopped using my MP5K and as soon as I spawned I'd switch to the PP. Good damage (40-20), very accurate, low recoil, the only issue with it is the small magazine (20 rounds). I went from 0 kills this prestige to 75+ kills in only a few games.

Sounds like a game I had on Terminal a few months back. I was up by the gas tank in the middle picking off guys in the bookstore/plane with a silenced FAMAS. I was up there for a good 2 minutes. I turned around, and not one, but TWO enemy snipers were up there with me, laying prone just past the ladder. I just kinda stared at them for a second questioning why I wasn't dead, and then proceeded to end their lives.

The pp2000 is sweet, I've always used it with good luck. I use the silencer or fmj on it. I think it's the best machine pistol to use. You can actually kill from a good distance with it.

The tmp is sweet but it blows thru ammo.

I use the pp2000 whenever I snipe. Its a great weapon to use when moving from location to location.

I loaded up MW2 for the first time in months and wasn't too bad on XBL. I was surprised, I figured my skills would have to catch up.

I played MW2 for the first time in 2 months earlier today. I warned my friend I was playing with I'd probably be somewhere between bad and terrible. First game was Team Tactical Search and Destroy on Storm. I went 14-1 in a game we won 4-1.

No rust for me, apparently.

It could be that you were more patient than usual because you haven't played in a while. Notice when you you're losing you start running around like an idiot trying to rush and get kills and it dosen't always work out

So i dont know why but i can usually spot claymores rather easily. Minus well placed ones that is. The red "sights" give it away probably 75% of the time. But it still amazes me when i will be running, see a claymore, then stop and back up a bit just to have a teammate (who could see me do this) just through just to get blown up.

Recently though it seems like people freakin follow me. I tend to run around find a window or something and just hangout in that area. The last few days i do this and im alone. Teammates spawn and it always seem one teammate comes and stands right on top of me to look out he same window. Normally i wouldnt mind but when im being shot and and trying ot move away but cant cause of my moron teammate it really annoys me >.<

Then again the last few days havent been th ebest days for me. Seem slike i constantly get headshots on me or the other team just knows right where i am with no heartbeat/uav
