Professor Chang!
Except his name in Senor Chang, so this doesn't quite work.
But you can add red tiger camo to make it look like a sweet paintball gun!
Pens won!
Now I'm going to get online to shoot people while in a god mood instead of while in a bad mood!
Come join me!

WAT!?
Looks like I'll be doing a whole lot of nothing tonight so shooting mans in MW3 or MW2 sounds good.
I keep picturing in my mind that you live in some creepy foggy clearing in a scary forest, in some rickety looking wooden shack. But then you go inside and its like... TARDIS huge, and there's home made candies cooking and it smells good. And it looks like it was decorated by Martha Stewart or something.

Right now I've got $16,800 in gun and optic sitting on my kitchen island, so right now the house looks like it was decorated by Martha Stewart and Frank Castle.
Fun times later today when I get to go play the how many shots does it take before a cop shows up game at the firing range. They love it when do a mag dump with a fiddy.
Ah. I've used it a little bit, but for whatever reason, I feel most comfortable with the L86 (probably because it was the first LMG I used in the game). I also never play MW3 anymore, so my mind might change next time I play (if ever).
EDIT: Also, apparently the first teaser for blops 2 is supposed to hit at the beginning of May. It's probably because I hate MW3 so much, but I'm actually excited for it, even though I didn't enjoy blops.

wait....
When you send out three cars to respond to a noise complaint and they take a half hour to finish the call it's because I had toys at the range. You stop sending cars out and I'll stop wasting taxpayer money by letting them play with my toys.
Kthxbye

Yeah, it's not like the old Dom where a well-positioned player could loosely patrol both points. If there's one thing that killed my solo enjoyment of the game it's the way they ruined pubby Dom.
I'm willing to play BlOps. Anyone on?

I also went 22-1 with the L96. Sure I didn't move from Pride Rock for the first 14 kills, but whatever.

My wife got me a some Turtle Beach X41s last night as a surprise, because my old headset's been giving me hell for a few months. Super excited about it. I seriously needed a new headset, and these are a step up from the X11s I was using before.
Sad part is thats one of my lowest multikills that I've gotten, 5 people barely registers as a multikill to me after MW2 javelins.
http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/2012/04/17/call-of-duty-sales-on-the-decline-with-modern-warfare-3/
According to analyst firm Piper Jaffray, by way of Gamasutra, sales of Modern Warfare 3 are off by 4.2 percent, behind Black Ops' figures.
Last month, Modern Warfare 3 was the eighth bestselling video game in the United States, five months after its release. Sales of Modern Warfare 3 during the month of March were reportedly half of what Black Ops sold during the same period a year prior.
Analysts at Piper Jaffray point to casual video game players seeking their entertainment fix elsewhere, using their game consoles for streaming video and other media consumption.
Activision's silver lining to slower Call of Duty sales is its Elite service, which had attracted more than 1.5 million premium level subscribers as of January 31 of this year.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-01-12-uk-2011-modern-warfare-3-sales-lower-than-2010-black-ops-sales
In 2011, Modern Warfare 3 shifted 2,814,609 copies, the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) has revealed (using data provided by weekly counter GfK Chart-Track).
In 2010, Black Ops shifted 3,266,298 copies.
And the great decline begins, as everyone predicted except Activision themselves. All I can say is "good".
Going to PAX East 2013/14 is my biggest goal right now. I plan to achieve it...
rather excitedcautiously optimistic about Blops 2. If they improve upon the good start they had I think it could be a really good game. I think it is interesting that we usually get 8 or 9 guys together whenever we're playing one of the older games but hardly ever have more then 3 or 4 for MW3.Ten seconds later after I tossed my carepackage and got a double pred I collected the osprey gunner care package.
It was a good fucking game.
What the series needs, however, is a refresher. It needs something new. Modern Warfare 3 made some nice improvements (tying streaks to your classes, for example, having streaks roll over and start again after completion, etc), but the overall product feels really "same old, same old", you know? Call of Duty isn't dead, it just needs to be shaken up a bit.
Treyarch proved with Black Ops that they have the balls to stand up and do something they know the community's going to have a fit over (removal of stopping power, quick-scoping, etc), and I'm just hoping they have the nerve to do it again this November.
If this next game's shit, though (and it could be!), that's when I'd say it's the beginning of the end for Call of Duty.
Or you know we could just go play Halo4 which is basically CoD Future Warefare
How would you suggest they pick up the game's pace? (I'm not saying it isn't slower than the Modern Warfare series - I know a lot of people say that, and I'm not entirely disagreeing) One of the things I like the most about Black Ops is that it feels really stripped down, and back-to-basics: I don't like streaks that stack, I think that if you want an 11 kill streak, you should have to get 11 kills; I like that you're essentially limited to pistols as your secondary weapon, because game balance goes out the window when everyone's running around with dual FMGs as secondaries (secondaries should never be as powerful and effective as a primary, in my opinion); etc.
I'm just curious to know what you'd suggest for improving the pacing of the next game.
I know that Ghost is being reviewed. Treyarch knows that it was a problem. They've admitted that, in the absence of Stopping Power, it's too powerful, and they've committed themselves to fixing it. They've also seen the controversy caused by Assassin in MW3, so I doubt they're going to make the same mistake twice. Killstreaks could be more interesting though, I agree.

"However, large declines in sales of the versions of the game for Nintendo Wii, handheld platforms and PC have driven the overall decline, he suggests."
Since most consider the PS3 and 360 the primary homes for the CoD series, it's easy to see that MW3 is doing just fine. The truth of the series decline will only become apparent after sales figures of BLOPS2 come out.

I think you're right, honestly. But I also think they're going to nerf Ghost from orbit anyway; it's the only way to be sure.
Wait, did I wake up in an episode of "Sliders" where people actually LIKE a Treyarch game? That's like the episode where they find an "almost-earth" where little things are different, like the Golden Gate bridge is blue instead of red.
I thought we were supposed to hate Treyarch?
My entire universe is upside down. Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnrgh..
BLOPS2 is going to be another rehash on the same engine as the past decade with no balance, stupid glitches and retarded perks that facilitate frustrating gameplay.
