    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.

    It takes 3 hits at close range, 4 further out. Doesn't feel underpowered to me at all. Stopping Power is definitely not a requirement the way it is for the M4 and ACR.

    Can you have more than 15 harriers though? Could have swore I say three one time on Wasteland.

    You can have at least 2, never seen more than that. You could probably have 9 Harriers if somehow all 9 of you got 7 kills at the same time.

    am i nuts, or did i see a harrier shoot down the other team's attack helicopter one time?

    Yes. Harriers will shoot down other helicopters, including the Chopper Gunner. The Harrier already on the map will shoot down incoming Harriers, IIRC.

    Helicopters cannot shoot down Harriers.

    Is that with or without a silencer?

    Holy shit.

    We just got Rust in Core TDM.

    This is awesome.

    Edit: Rust 6v6 is actually very fun and not rediculous at all. It's not nearly so bad as the hell it is on FFA. Although if you get an AC-130 it's over for the other team.

    Jealous. I still haven't played that map. The damn rotation never brings it up! If it's like the majority of the other maps, though, I'm probably not missing much. What did you think of it? Is it a good?

    The map, Rust. It's the equivalent of getting Shipment in TDM in MW1.

    It was actually very nice. But that's just because I went 34-2, since I got an AC-130 and ended the game in a minute flat.

    TVs
    360's with MW2
    Ethernet Cables
    Router or Hub

    Plug them all together and it should just work like a charm.

    You also may require the following:

    Snacks
    Drinks
    Chairs
    Beer

    LAN parties are so easy, they are still the best way to enjoy this game IMO. Gone to about 4 since this game came out. We play online as well as just system link because we have other friends that can't quite make it. Suprisingly enough a 3mbit connection can actually support about 4 people playing as long as they're all in the same game. As soon as somebody joins another game, however, all of your pings will go to shit.

    Probably gonna be rocking PS3's with Wifi.

    Lots of Free Pizza and beer, my only problem is finding fresh people who'd want to come. Last Lan party I hosted was in highschool, halo 2.

    The last LAN party I was invited to got raided by the cops because the owner of that house sold drugs and whatnot, and all of their shit got confiscated and was "lost" by the police.

    So yeah, I generally try to stay away from LANs, although that was just a one time thing:P

    We had a couple of our 360s set up with Wifi, it worked perfectly fine so that shouldn't be a problem. Getting people to come might be a problem. Just brag about how bad ass you are and they'll want to come just to shut you up. I do it all the time (stomp some bragging punk's ass I mean).

    What's your definition of "hi-def?" I played on a 42" with 720p and couldn't see shit but I then switched to 1080p on a 37" and was really able to tell the difference.

    The problem with Quarry is that it's a terrible fucking map and the only way you ever fight people is in straight alleys, inside the buildings, or down in the quarry, where there is no fucking cover and grenades rain upon you.

    Edit: And when only the top 3 cm of your head are sticking up over that block across the map and you kill me with an M16, that's awesome too.

    But you're still right, MW2 doesn't run natively at 1080 and has a ridiculous number of 'shoot this guy which we're only going to render as three pixels' moments.

    Maybe it's on purpose. The whole downed chopped last stand was I guess supposed to be frantic and desperate. I dunno. Modern Warfare 2 is a game about shooting mans and yet a lot of it is not shooting mans it is shooting shapes in the distance.

    Well, dedicated servers were a huge advantage, but now it just rests on the mouse and keyboard, which is still something to consider.

    doesn't PS3 support mouse and keyboard for everything?
