    but their team was doing stuff like taking and holding more than one point

    Clearly a professional clan to be practicing such advanced techniques. Your teammates can't be blamed for failing in the face of such skill.

    Went and played a little bit on lunch. Was trying to get the achievement for surviving 5 straight minute in a multiplayer match. Was hanging back on underpass moving behind the lines and picking guys off from a distance with my acr. 5 seconds left before I got what I was after...

    and I got picked off by a fucking random noob tuber. What fucking luck...

    Unless you were playing hardcore, and you shot him in the back as he went to his crate, you didn't steal it.

    Yeah I stole it. He called in an emergency air drop and took the first three crates (ammo, UAV and jammer) in the time it took me to long-cap the fourth, the AC130.

    People who play TDM on Domination are definitely fucking retarded... I was in a game the other night where the other team was consistently getting high k/d's, while we were mostly negative, but we were beating them at least 2:1 every single game. They talked so much shit, and were completely content to lose as long as they had high k/d's. Even though we were winning easily, it really made the games no fun to play. Just go play fucking TDM you pansies.

    75% of the time when I throw down a care package the entire enemy team will show up around the goddamn corner and and steal my shit. Which is why I switch to my knife build whenever I get a care package

    I just love the people who throw down their care package marker at a contested point in domination, where the life-expectancy is about 7 seconds.
    I did this yesterday on Scrapyard (olol what's not a contested point on Scrapyard), and felt like a damn idiot as soon as I let the right trigger go.

    I came across a guy last night (in Hardcore Team Deathmatch) who was knifing us...

    I don't get the point of that.

    He was being all tough when people (like myself) were noticing saying things like "you got a problem with that?" etc

    What good does that do?

    I use domination to raise my K/D ratio, yes.

    I usually defend a point until I get a predator missile, and then use that when our other point is contested to defend that. Then when I get the harrier in the next couple of seconds, I then again use that to defend the other point while I defend the one I am at, thus keeping two points for an extended period of time. Then the chopper gunner comes out and pretty much guarantees that we keep those two points. I use my extremely high k/d ratio to keep those points defended.

    If my team can't capture atleast one other point while I defend our spawn point, then no amount of me running out and dieing over and over again will give us a win. Besides, when the opposite team all rush spawn points with painkiller on and final stands and constant death streaks, you are probably going to lose anyway no matter what.

    While the guy sounds like a dickbag, in all fairness knifing someone keeps from giving your position away, which can be invaluable in HC. Or do you mean that he was actually running a knife build? Because if that's the case, I have no idea how your team could let that be even close to viable in HC...

    I was playing a Domination game with pubbies in Ground War on Skidrow a few days back and had worked myself up to the Emergency Airdrop. I didn't need anything as the point I was defending would only be contested for a few seconds at most, so I pitched the marker out the window and told my teammates to grab whatever they needed. When they saw there was an AC-130, Stealth Bomber, and two Predators there, they actually stopped to look at me and I had to yell at them to take them.

    I've found domination to be much more fun when one person on the team takes control and makes suggestions such as "we should hold just A and B" or "we should all try and take point X". Maybe other people find this annoying but I always love teamwork and MW2 seems to severely lack that.

    They need to just admit defeat. Build in dedicated server support, let people pick their own damn games from a list. The matchmaking system causes just as many problems as it solves. You can try to justify it all day long, but yeah- feathers, butt, chicken, etc.

    I was playing in one for almost an hour on Saturday with my brother, I am pretty sure I was completing challenges, and even leveled up in that game. About 90% sure.

    So I was playing domination last night:
    We start the match... nobody gets a kill for about 2 minites so our team caps all 3 points.
    Suddenly were ambushed, were all killed, but they don't cap the point they just sit there
    THE WHOLE OTHER TEAM CAMPED THE WHOLE GAME!
    We get to 185-0 when...

    RE: Emergency Air Drops


    Always ALWAYS call them out so your team can camp them. There's nothing better than nailing a bad guy who looks around the area like a timid little rabbit, jumps onto the package with glee, and then getting headshot.

    And, also, save the best for the guy who called it in. If he's busy getting whichever ones are closest to him, then yeah, you can get on another and hope he doesn't take it from you first. Otherwise, leave the AC130 alone and go for the turret.
    Gameover
    defeat

    If they weren't capping then why not just let the time run out while you slowly gain points?

    So apparently trying to play this on the weekend at like 4am is not a good idea. It was all fucking akimbo shotguns and weird fucking private matches. Oh, and drunk Irishmen. Like everygame. It was most disconcerting.

    I think I'm gonna shelve this until the DLC comes out. Hopefully by then they'll have patched out all the bullshit. Besides, Demomen (in TF2) aren't going to kill themselves. Well, they might, but I like to help.

    Took us about 20 minutes last night to get a full lobby on XBL. Which sucked because in between every match everyone would leave (our group is pretty aggressive in ourplay style) and we'd have to wait another 20 minutes for more people to join.

    It got to the point that some of us purposely played badly just so other player's wouldn't leave.

    In a game that sold 5.5 million copies, you'd think there'd be plenty of players just itching to join a match.

    So I hear the UMP is sexy good. Kills in 3 shots silenced without stopping power.

    I guess the downside on SMG's is that the effective range is significantly less than AR's and LMG's?

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    From what I've seen.. not really. I've been nailed by Vectors from sniper rifle range. The maps are so small for the most part that it seems like weapon range isn't really a factor at all.

    The part that piques my interest is that the UMP doesn't need stopping power, even silenced. If so, I'll be experimenting with it on a cold blood/ninja build.

    I like my silenced FAMAS, but that thing needs stopping power.
