    Taking a minute to think if I could point to the one thing I hate the most it would have to be the maps . There are three I like and after that they range from hated to loathed.

    Yeah, there's not many I actively like. Most of them I simply tolerate. In fact, Derail and Terminal might be the only ones I can say I genuinely enjoy. The rest feel kind of bland.

    Of course, but sometimes the extra bullets and fire rate have helped me where the SCAR would not have sufficed, and now I can't stop using the M4A1.

    Hahaha, holy shit. I just got dual 1887s, and apparently there was ZERO exaggeration about how stupidly useful they are. Honestly, I love me some shotguns, but these are just hilariously effective.

    They've got some rediculous range, but yet also have a very wide hip-fire.

    It's pretty hard to fuck up 1887's.

    And I know it's been said, but Scavenger + Claymores + building/area with only one entrance you aren't looking at = good times.

    Edit: Also, I'm never using anything except handguns with my sniper rifles. It takes so goddamn long to switch from your sniper rifle to even a Machine Pistol, let alone a shottie.

    You get a close-range alternative without using a secondary shotgun, and you can use a Stinger instead or something.

    Wait what? there ARE Mouse keyboard converters for the 360? That's super tempting. Anyone used em before?

    it's called USB



    A keyboard will work in place of the OSD keyboard, however i am pretty sure they are non functional for gameplay.

    Yeah, then that's straight up next to useless isn't it.

    Gameplay people, using them for gameplay. I'm not retarded.

    then perhalps you should say what you're looking for in the first place?

    Or maybe if you'd read the thread it would have been blatantly obvious?

    Be a dick or be ignorant. Don't be a dick because you're ignorant because then we're all going to laugh at you and then call you an asshole. In that order.

    it's already been determined that i am an asshole, get over it.



    There was no previous conversation with that guy's statement, he quoted nobody, and nothing. So therefore, it's a new conversation/post, if he wants people to know what he's talking about, he should probably quote the person he's responding to.

    This thread moves at a rate of like 8 pages per day. I, unlike you, have a life and cant read every single post.

    Here I thought "The 360 has USB ports" and "Keyboards and mice are USB devices" was kinda common knowledge. Along with "And they are disabled in 360 games".

    Thanks for being a dick though! Helps bring everyone together in the spirit of the holidays.

    So I just got screwed over by some 'airspace is too crowded' message when trying to use my chopper gunner. I spent the last 60 seconds of the game mashing it and it just kept giving me the message. Didn't get to use it, lost the game by 2 kills. All that was in the air was a single enemy hind and a UAV or 2.

    Finally got "The Show" Accolade on Wasteland domination (After going 9-0 a couple of times).

    Just skirted around the edge with my ACR popping off a couple of people, after 3 kills picked up some dude Intervention then popped 2 people taking C. Predator Missile for 2 more kills, Harrier over B gives me at least 1 to get Emergency Airdrop from which I get another Predator, Chopper Gunner, UAV and C-UAV. Ended up 26-3-0.

    For the last minute of the game I hid in a corner (cheap I know but we were already winning 180-130) with cold blooded and ninja just waiting out the score counter. I wanted that accolade so damn much.

    I think I need to take a break from MW2. Its just little things that are annoying. Bouncing from doing awesome with a good team to consecutive awful teams where I do awful.

    The TAR is my favourite gun but I like to run a stealthy build which means it has awful damage because without SP it takes 5 shots to kill some one. By that time they turn around and burst me with a famas or something which kills me. Or how AA is required.

    And the spawning system is still bad and most of the maps are just awful and EVERYONE camps so its extraordinarily boring.

    It was fun but I don't know maybe Its because I am awful (I'm pretty bad but at least at like .98) but this game is capturing me like CoD4 did.

    Sometimes the game would have party members still show up in the pre-game lobby, even though they had backed out. I'd be sitting there wondering why no one was talking. And then there's always the fun "Waiting for Party Leader" message.

    I've been playing this game way too much.

    This evening at thanksgiving dinner I looked down and noticed a small red circle on my left index finger. After I prodded at it I realized that I had developed a small blister. "Hmm, that's strange, I wonder what could have caused that," I thought. Moments later it came to me in the most terrible way: my iron sights finger has developed a blister. I've played a lot of games in my day, but this has never happened before.

    I'd stop, but I'm a level and a half away from the Javelin!

    I've not yet developed blisters (probably because my fingers are meaty), but I have made my controller's left trigger squeaky.

    Yes, I've zoomed in and out so many times playing MW1 and now this, that the damn spring in my controller squeaks. I also love this controller because it feels like it has character, due to the fact that even with fresh batteries the thing will just stop working at the worst moments.

    Back in the glory days of CoD4, before they ruined the whole franchise, we use to have everyone fighting over the right to call in airstrikes or helicopters. I used to just hide and constantly hit the button to call in my killstreak reward hoping that just doing it over and over and over would let me slip in before anyone else.

    An elevator stuck in a shaft when the power goes out and the door to get out is right in front of you; it's lined up with the exit/enter frame, but the door is stuck shut.

    Or maybe that's when Host Migration fails, and you get stuck at that black screen, and you have to shut down your 360 to get out.

    also lightweight pro is a fucking chore. sitrep pro too. goddamn. and does anyone know if commando works with the shield bash attack? otherwise knowing where claymores and respawn points are seems to be better choice for being a shieldguy doing objectives.
