    I think the thing that's really going to matter to your streak idea Ducks is if the attack helicopter is any good in this game. I've had games in MW2 and Blops where I put up 3 attack helicopters in a game and get no kills. If that's the kind of work they're going to do throwing them up all the time isn't going to do much good. I might go with Pred/Air Strike/Strafe.

    A fair assessment. And even if it were awesome, you'll always have to contend with the fact that it won't fire at anybody wearing Blind Eye. If that were the case, rather than replace Attack Helicopter with something higher tiered (like Strafe), I'd be more inclined to go with something lower, like UAV or Care Package (2 and 3 kills with Hardline, respectively). That would maintain the load-outs' consistency.

    Dude, seriously? I just watched a video where you went 28-2. I'd say that's consistent slaying.

    I'm still not sold on the assist part of hardline.

    How many times do you really get assists that you couldn't have killed yourself.

    In that Nuketown video I posted this past weekend, I had 8 Assists over the course of the match. Pretty certain that about 6 of them were in the same life. Even if it were only 2 Assists in a life, though, how many times have you said, "Damnit! I was one away from my Dogs." Hardline Pro's going to be great for that. Like I said, I got 8 Assists in one match before, and I wasn't even attempting to get Assists, the way I might be inclined to do with Hardline Pro.

    Speaking of "trying to get Assists" by throwing Stuns and Flashes all over the place with Scavenger, keep in mind that Bowling's said they've completely revamped the way Scavenger will work in Modern Warfare 3. He's talked about it in relation to noob tubes in the past, but from the way he talked in the Livestream yesterday, it seems pretty clear that the changes will be across the board. To clarify, in the past, when asked about whether or not Scavenger will resupply noob tubes, Bowling said that it would, but only if the guy who dropped the bag had a grenade launcher equipped.

    Yesterday, in the Livestream, someone on Twitter asked if Scavenger would replace frags. Again, Bowling said that it would, but only if the guy you killed was running frags, and only if he still had some when he died. He seemed to indicate that Scavenger would work that way with everything. So, yes, it probably will resupply Claymores, but only if the guy you killed had a Claymore on him; yes it'll probably resupply C4, but only if the guy you killed had C4 on him; yes, it'll resupply flashes, but only if the guy you killed had flashes on him; etc.

    So the idea of running around and constantly chucking stuns and flashes probably isn't going to work as well as people think.

    Well, I post my good games, lol. I don't go 50-1, 30-0, 28-1, etc on every map. I've got a 2.31 K/D, and it's hanging pretty consistent at this point. I'm on the higher end amongst my group in terms of Win/Loss (mine's 10.6 or so, at the moment), but I'm among the lowest in terms of Kill to Death: most of the guys have around a 2.8 -- and then there's Swarvz, who has a 4.0+, which makes me fucking angry just to look at, lol.

    That guy is a consistent slayer. :P

    I don't see why they didn't keep Scavenger the way it was. It was pretty much always a utility perk.

    I'm just repeating what Robert Bowling said.

    For all we know, it may not have changed at all, except in regard to frags and tubes.

    [edit] Speaking of Robert Bowling confirming shit: he confirmed yesterday on the Livestream that Modern Warfare 3 will be using Treyarch's weapon mobility system, which kind of blew me away. For clarity, Infinity Ward always has your mobility based upon your primary weapon when you spawn, and Treyarch always adjusts mobility based upon whatever weapon you're currently holding (so switching to a pistol makes you run faster in most cases). I just thought that was interesting, I guess. I didn't expect that.

    I just had a delightful experience with sniping fucks in MW1. I was playing hardcore headquarters and I was of course capping the objective and after a couple of successful caps my teammates started killing me because they didn't appreciate that. One guy told me he was going to kill me before he did it, but missed so I turned on my teammate and killed him first. That made him super angry and then he asked his buddy how many people he'd shot in real life and told him to find my IP address and I was even more delighted. Goddamnit I love sniper kids when they talk to me.

    So close to being able to prestige in MW1. I'm under 100xp to 55 and then the last grind to prestiging and I will be happy and then play Gears or MW2. I haven't decided yet.

    I could give up some codes if I hadn't already applied them. I completed a set of "battle cards" and am up to a nice 7 1/2 hours. I'm thinking that should at least grind me through a prestige. I'm pretty sure the guys with 300+ hours on the leaderboard are just swiping codes off bags of chips.

    If I can give up one of my three codes from a 12oz you can give away a code or two to those floppy headed Canadians that don't get the products...its not like your paying for them either.

    Major adjustments or anytime you adjust?

    Also with the mixamp or without?

    I get a crackle with the mixamp and mine when I do major adjustments when somethings going down, but with my computer I get no crackle/white noise if I adjust them without the mixamp (as in the headphones plugged directly into the computer).

    I also don't do as much games stuff anymore so even when the stock arrives I probably won't have the torture of processing it all day.

    I would like some codes. I'd nominate my brother SizeQueen, but he lives in French Canadia. Apparently it's cheaper to live on the French Canadia side of Ottawa than it is to live on the correct side of Ottawa. I imagine it's cheaper because Quebecois are always excluded from every kind of sweepstakes, prizes, and promotional events.
