    Scatman, I love you and have fun playing with you and everything but never ever change, you made that hardcore game more entertaining than it should of been.

    After you left though, some asshat said that both me and alpha had scottish accents. Me I can sort of understand, but alpha, really?

    His forum name is joshgotro (as is his xbl tag). He's good peoples and a quality player.
    I, on the other hand, am mediocre at the game. Been playing some FAL lately, pretty fun (only have noob tube, looking forward to a site that doesn't BLOW). I pretty much always play stinger on every class. I find most of the time I don't have the time to switch to a secondary to make it useful, anyway. Plus, Scav Pro rules 24/7.

    Yeah, I've discovered the joy of One Man Army (Pro). I can switch to my Stinger class, and switch to my Stinger, pretty darn quickly but don't have to run around with a gigantic flag sticking out of my head. Oh, and for bonus points if I'm running low on ammo I can switch to a different assault class as a resupply if I want to.

    They really need to fix it, though...you should not be able to switch to the same class to resupply...that level of fuckery should at least require you to dedicate two slots to it, and really OMA should be disabled once used until death.

    But yeah, I roll with a Stopping Power/One Man Army build until I see something that needs shot down, then I just swap classes to a Cold Blooded/Stinger build. I agree that I rarely find myself switching to a secondary weapon in a pinch. Reload early, reload often.


    Even without OMA, I'll generally roll with an AT4 instead of Stinger now, just so I can't be seen from space. If something beefy is in the air, I'll just switch to my CB/Stinger class and shoot it down after I die. But hell, with Stopping Power Pro you can shoot down most things with just an AT4 and a mag or so (assuming it doesn't blast you...not Cold Blooded and all). I shoot down a surprising number of Harriers now without Cold Blooded or Stinger.

    You can also just run Scavenger/Stopping Power and resupply your AT4.

    I like the AT4, since 75% of what I shoot down is just UAV/CUAV anyway.


    As for favorite perks, I'm starting to settle on Sleight of Hand Pro, Stopping Power, Ninja Pro. SoH is great for reloads, obviously, but it's the Pro version that shines. I really feel like the faster ADS allows me to get the jump on a lot of guys, and win some face-offs that otherwise I'd lose...especially in Hardcore, where the first couple rounds settle it. Stopping Power, obvious...unless I'm shooting down birds, I need to be able to take down dudes faster. Who gives a fuck if the guys know where I am, if I rape their face when they come looking for me? And Ninja Pro is the shit...quieting my footsteps serves to both amplify everybody else's (poor man's Heartbeat Sensor/Sitrep Pro) and allows me to shank fuckers from behind with impunity.

    The exceptions are Cold Blooded or Hardliner instead of SP for Hardcore (since Stopping Power is useless there), and One Man Army instead of SoH if I'm feeling like I might actually need to shoot down some air support.


    Man, I just came in to blue dot this bad boy...wound up writing a novel.

    I think I just played a match against glitchers. Every time (literally) I saw an enemy, I'd get about 5 seconds of lag. I'd see someone, try to shoot, and everything would just stop for a couple of seconds, then I'd be back and waiting to respawn. A couple of times I wasn't killed during the lag, and in these times I could unload a G18 at someone from around 2m away and then get shot while reloading. Also, I once got spawn killed 4 times in a row, within about a second of spawning each time, by the same person. Surely that can't happen naturally.

    This message is brought to you by Fishy Joes.

    Been playing over the last couple nights after taking a break from the game, and I'm doing better than usual. A lot of 6:1 and 7:1 matches. My last was 21 to 3. TDM, of course.

    Think it's because I'm playing more aggressively, though still with the same wariness and determination to never give the enemy a kill without putting up one hell of a fight.

    Oh, and my respect for the AK has grown now that I've tried it with a suppressor. It seems to keep the firing animation from messing up my aim. The iron sights still have an absurd drift to them, but at least when I've got a shot lined up, I don't have to spray and pray.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Wrong. It takes a bit of getting used to but sniping in this game is hilariously easy. You'll have to learn to compensate for lag and lead your targets a little bit, but it's only difficult in the sense that an AR is "lol i zero sway you". The only bad part is when you've got a dude lined up and he full-autos you from across the map with his iron sight ACR.

    Goddamnit, that's aggravating.

    Sniping is easier in this game than COD4, IMO.

    For starters, you can equip a machine pistol as a secondary, and those things may as well be primary weapons in light of their stats. You're getting Overkill as a freebie, essentially.

    Also, you can start with an OMA class and lay down a claymore and maybe a tac respawn, and scout the area before settling into your sniping position. Hell, your sniper class could even be an OMA build. Shoot and scoot becomes, shoot and scoot and change classes.

    Agreed on the bullshit scope drift, though. It was a problem in COD4, it's still a problem in MW2.

    The only Machine Pistol, yes. All attachments present on the weapon will carry over into Last Stand.

    Sure, but both Machine Pistols and Shotguns (excluding the Raffica) take about two seconds to switch to. Two seconds is a huge amount of time in this game, so I just end up using Akimbo handguns of some sort, usually Deagles.

    On the OMA note; I tried that. I usually only do it on SnD, where I would start with my OMA DC M203 class and lay two claymores on a point or behind me, then OMA to my sniper class and let loose. DC Claymores have a tendency to blow you across the room, so it's very effective.

    Having OMA on the actual sniper class sucks ass, because again, 3 seconds is a shitload of time.

    not THIS claymore though. THIS claymore shoots fucking lasers for no reason. How about this for claymores. . . you place the claymore once to put the explosive down, then you can walk maybe 5m before you have to place the other end of the tripwire? Making it a tripwire.

    also, last I checked, claymores don't have EYES or PHOTOSENSORS, so why the hell do flashbangs temporarily disable them?

    I could understand stuns or maybe extremely close flashbangs detonating them. I know they're all balance decisions and they've become claymores in name only. But at what point do you consider all these concessions and say fuck it, let's use something that actually makes sense?
