Equip Javelin. Cook grenade, switch to javelin, release grenade.
When you die you explode. Walking bomb essentially. Is disabled if you climb anything.
Man, I work as a programmer - my job is cleaning up buggy ass software. This just flat out doesn't make sense to me.
Like, I don't understand what kind of programming chicanery you'd need to do to make that happen.
Maybe I should get into the game business, since I have an actual appreciation for software engineering and less for 420 erryday son.
The Javeline bug especially seems strange that it was overlooked. I mean, it's a common action to press Y to switch off your grenade should you change your mind. You'd think that one of the QA criteria would have been "Does pressing Y to put away a grenade and switch to X gun work properly? Y/N?"
Man, I wish I'd known you could press Y to switch off a grenade. I'll often cook a grenade thinking someone's around the corner, then toss it off before it explodes when I don't find someone. Didn't realize I could be saving.
I kind of feel like being a dick and having our entire team be suicide bombers w/Javelins in a match, just to watch the mayhem that ensues. Like, only once. For reals.
Man, I wish I'd known you could press Y to switch off a grenade. I'll often cook a grenade thinking someone's around the corner, then toss it off before it explodes when I don't find someone. Didn't realize I could be saving.
I could be wrong but I don't think you can cancel a frag grenade since its timer starts counting the moment you press the button (and while you hold it), but the semtex timer doesn't start until you let it loose so you can safely put it back in your pocket.
The multiplayer is still less-glitchy than Gears of War, which probably colors my opinion a bit on how this game is still tolerable, but the infinite airdrops thing is probably going to irrevocably change my mind unless it's fixed soon.
Non-sequitir response to another conversation I noticed during the last couple of pages -- the joy of Cold Blooded isn't simply that you can't be spotted by UAVs -- it's that you don't get highlighted with a big red rectangle betraying your position to any enemy who has a Predator Missile, an attack helicopter, or an AC-130. You're right, though, that UAVs are kind of rare because everyone takes them out of their kill streaks in favor of indirect fire support options. Which is kind of a shame. The situational awareness attentive peeps get from a UAV is frequently more dangerous than a predator missile.

I suppose that would make significantly more sense. I wonder if I can stuff the live grenade back in my pocket, just to giggle with delight when my pants explode?

On the other hand, infinite airdrops is kind of tough to pull off. Plus you're giving away your position. Airdrops = everyone swarming and throwing grenades and being ridiculous all over each other.
Vote-kicking wasn't the original concept talked about, it was a straight kick/ban button (which I assume the host would have?) like L4D has...which would fail fucking horribly in a game like MW2. It would be abused so terribly by every pre-pubescent fucktard who is mad you are better then him. At least with vote-kicking there is some wall to prevent that from happening (most of the time).
WTF are you talking about?
1) No one suggested giving the host kick/ban capabilities, that's fucking retarded
2) It's always been about vote kick
3) L4D has vote kick
In summation, figure out what the fuck you're talking about before making expansive statements.

Taking the UAV out of your killstreak list seems kind of stupid, honestly. I find the UAV to be immensely useful. Maybe it's because I rarely get kill streaks high enough to get the really good indirect fire weapons.

I always pack UAVs because it's just so damn easy to get them and it benefits the whole team, not just myself. It's just one more disadvantage to give the enemy, not necessarily a game changer or anything. My favorite benefit of Cold-Blooded is when playing with pubs who aren't shooting down Pavelows or Harriers. I still get to run around and do my thing instead of cowering inside a building.
When playing with PAers, I can't equip my Javelin fast enough, it's almost always shot out of the air within a couple of seconds. Last night an incoming harrier didn't even get a chance to hover over us before being obliterated. PA is scary good at shooting down air support.

Hey, I have an idea. Instead of being a 12 year old cock monkey and trying to act hard on the internet, why don't you go back and read a few pages where someone did suggest a straight kick/ban button.
But hey, don't let me stop you from flaming people in an attempt to make yourself feel like a tough guy.
Is it just me, or does playing this game in MP make you want to play other games? I enjoy it, I play well, and about 3 or 4 matches into the night, I want to switch to another game bad.
Is it just that I maybe don't enjoy this all that much?
In non-gameplay related discussion: MW2 doesn't have alt-tab support on the PC.
Although it's hard to blame IW for finding these glitches in play-testing. You have literally millions of people playing the game 24/7, so eventually someone is going to find the odd glitch. That being said, IW is fucking up by not fixing or even addressing these issues in what one would consider a timely manner.
Honestly, a simple votekick feature would suffice so players would have some means to control it. The way things are now, it's pretty much the regular players being boned by hackers and glitch abusing dickbags like Zen, and there is nothing they can do.
PS: I don't hate you Zen.<3

Keep on fighting the good fight. In fact, I think everyone should start glitch abusing and making the information readily available. Squeaky wheel getting the oil and all that...
No concept of majority vote or anything, and if you're terrible enough that someone on your own team would vote you off, then fuck you and good bye.
No fuck you.

Theoretically, Microsoft/IW can ban your Live account for cheating like that, though I guess in practice it's not very common. Not saying don't do it, I think it's kind of funny myself...but be forewarned if you cheat like crazy (even in an attempt to show the glaring glitches), you could login one day to find your live account turned off.
e: I know Epic actually took this pretty seriously for a while and was having MS ban all kinds of accounts hacking GoW2...no clue if IW will care enough.

I WAS UNAWARE THAT ONE RANDOM PERSON HAD SUGGESTED A STRAIGHT KICK/BAN FUNCTION. THIS REVELATION COMPLETELY REFUTES AND SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS SUGGESTIONS ABOUT A VOTE KICK FUNCTION THAT HAS THE MAJORITY OF INTEREST.
IT ALSO MEANS THAT NOW L4D DID HAVE A KICK/BAN FUNCTION JUST LIKE YOU SAID. I WILL INVENT A TIME MACHINE AND RECREATE REALITY INTO YOUR IMAGE, OH GREAT AND GLORIOUS MASTER.
I used caps lock because you're so fucking retarded it must be hard to get new and dangerous thoughts into that hat holder you call a skull.
In conclusion, I am far better than you in almost every way, so please fuck off or at least shut the fuck up until you know what you're talking about, Mr "You get XP in Private Matches"

it is useful but it wasnt as satisfying as getting a 17 kill streak
also, anyone who's done Estate Takedown, pref on vet
how many juggernauts were there
so far ive killed 3, the one that comes out of the house when youre by the water in the shed thing, and then 2 that come after you kill a certain amount of people

Hi mod!
Oh noes, my feelings are hurt by a 12 year old on the internet Hey, when you grow pubes someday, let me know.
Man, I wish I'd known you could press Y to switch off a grenade. I'll often cook a grenade thinking someone's around the corner, then toss it off before it explodes when I don't find someone. Didn't realize I could be saving.
I could be wrong but I don't think you can cancel a frag grenade since its timer starts counting the moment you press the button (and while you hold it), but the semtex timer doesn't start until you let it loose so you can safely put it back in your pocket.

There's even a title you unlock for blowing up an enemy by pulling the pin and not letting go of the grenade.
1) Make stupid, unbacked up out-of-left-field statement
2) Get torn down
3) Accuse guy who tore you down of being 12
4) Get laughed at by the regulars
5) Believe you are still great
6) Start talking about penises
You strategy for success is remarkable! I foresee a future in AIG with your incredible ability to plan and think through situations.
I totally sound like a 12 year old though.

You uhh, didn't tear anyone down, and the only one laughing is one of your sycophants. Oh sorry, that's a big word, do you need me to give you the meaning? I know they don't really teach big words before 9th grade.

AH, on the PC then, I dunno. Depends on how they do IWNET.
On the 360, there were a couple of mass bannings when GoW2 first came out for glitch abuse.
Oh noes, my feelings are hurt by a 12 year old on the internet
I do. If you showed me your pubes, I would let you cheat, and not even down rep you!
Yes, yes you are. We've been invaded by the same 12 year old's that think they are hard on Live. It must be the type of game, it attracts them.
And the only clinic he's putting on is how to be a moron, just so you know.
There's even a title you unlock for blowing up an enemy by pulling the pin and not letting go of the grenade.
Kris is like the Canadian George Washington of our PA group.
And I give a shit...because?
Reminds me of that "pube pizza" from some crappy movie I watched a long time ago.
