    2 definitely works, don't know about three.

    But, Sentry guns don't count towards your killstreak? That is some fucked up shit right there. So, what, they fixed the Pavelow, but decided they should break something else to make up for it?

    Never have. Sentry Guns only come from care packages (even the "proper" Sentry Gun killstreak comes as a crate) so they can't be used to build streaks.

    I always found that to be lame, generally sentry guns aren't that awesome so I don't know why adding their kills to your killstreak would be that big of a deal breaker. Sure there are occasions when they can be awesome, but so can every other killstreak.

    Agreed. I think it was just lazy programming, honestly. Basically an if/then statement that says if it came from a package, it doesn't add to the streak.

    I've been playing this for the free weekend and I think I just got hacked...

    Got thrown into a game on Rust where it was a FFA. Everyone had visible laser pointer lines coming off of their guns along with a targeting box over their body and the FoV was distorted. Every couple of seconds there was messages on the screen such as:

    Graphics card overheated.
    Perks have been deleted.
    You will be VAC'd.

    After I left I was at lvl 70 when previously I was only at lvl 30 and all my custom setups were renamed Suck Cocks. This has killed any thought I had of ever buying MW2. Now I'm worried that my Steam account will be banned because of something another asshole did.

    edit: I just checked and I lost some of my attachments that I've unlocked and all of the pro perks that I've unlocked.

    I just joined a Team Deathmatch that made me level 70 and unlocked all the weapons.
    :?
    What the fuck. I enjoy unlocking weapons/perks/shit. If I get banned for hitting Team Deathmatch at the wrong time, HEADS WILL ROLL.

    Boy hope this little gem doesn't migrate to XBL. Not to make light of your situation but I have to laugh at the "Suck Cocks" custom class rename. It's like this brilliant hacker has a chance to leave each of his victims a message and all he could think up was "Suck Cocks" what a silly goose of the highest order.

    Yeah, really it doesn't take long at all to get back to at least the red dot sights (and aside from the TAR-21, FAL, and L86 I never bother with the holo).

    Silencer takes a little while longer, but that's okay because I'm not going into S&D or Hardcore until I have Cold Blooded anyway.

    I feel so guilty.

    I just figured out a new spot on Estate that will easily get you a nuke if they hold A. D: All you have to do is throw pipes over to the sides of the house while standing near the top of the white stairs. It is insanely easy as people think that they are safe at the front of the house and the vegetation blocks their sight. I think it's also a good grenade spam spot.

    One hundred twenty hours.

    I had fun, for most of it, and I might pick it up again at some point if enough of IW sticks around long enough to patch the remaining problems before the studio's legs give out and their bones collapse and the lights go out.

    But the online community on the 360 version is utter shite. I always plugged a headset in and let it dangle. So not interested in anything those cretins have to say.

    You know you've found the secondary for you when 4 of your classes have it. Thanks guys, for showing me the M1014. One sitting and it went from 0 kills to 111. It's like a SPAS that makes up for shorter range with the ability to actually make that second shot when your target inexplicably shakes off buckshot to the chest. Plus the M1014 seems to be more reliable within its OSK range. Can't wait for Extended Mags.

    So yesterday, on the 360 I was watching my buddy play and some shenanigans were afoot. We may have experienced the next round of game-breaking bugs! Here's a summary:

    Joined free-for-all. Discover that the game we got into was being nuked. My buddy quickly quit. Then he realized that we both love doing a little Sandy Ravage-esque Booster's Justice! He joined one of the recent players and got back in the game. It was still in progress, with the nuke countdown timer, AT EIGHT MINUTES!
    For the next eight minutes the nuke siren sound was going off and the count down was ticking away. The guy who did it, (Y)our (A) (B)itch -letters in parenthesis are Xbox buttons on the display of course- was using some crazy gun that, my hand to Spas-12, played the AC-130 noise (for the big shot) and the person would be utterly destroyed and then replaced by a goddamn ray of light.
    I'm not sure how scoring worked but it was wonky. My friend never moved at from "0" at the bottom of the screen because Nuke stops all the scoring. There was no game time (because nuke stops that too) only the unusually large nuke countdown. The change was reflected in the post game stats though. I'm pretty sure he was racking up points as he shot people though. The winner went 70-44 or something like that and won by the nuke. In free for all.

    What's that? The sound of my PC and a sweet, sweet nostalgic Ultima Online server is calling me...
