    I wish you could save some replays. I just got a triple kill with a Semtax that stickied one of the guys and it was last kill.

    All of us do. I threw my knife once and it went between my teammate's legs, off the ground, and into the balls of an enemy for the win. I've also run into a room with my akimbo vectors and killed four people for the win and a glorious killcam. I'm betting we all have some cams we wish we could save. :(

    That's pretty sweet.

    Can't wait until everyone learns to rub that wall and fall through it.

    ...I thought that was something they said they patched out.

    Well, now it's gonna be like beta Roundhouse if this gets widely known.

    Turns out the Brazil level (Takedown, I think) on Veteran is just as much of a fucking godless nightmare as you would imagine it to be. I haven't thrown a controller since I was around 8, and this level nearly broke me.

    God damn. Single model 1887 is terrible. Even with stopping power half the time I don't kill them on the first hit. Then they've knifed me by the time I can chamber another round.

    Music helps deal with this game, I think. It does hinder the whole "know where they're coming from sound direction" thing, but hearing this

    to whoever mentioned using the M16 with stopping power pro a while ago, thank you. I got mastery for my M4, and have been working towards it with the scar, fal, and M16, and getting the 40 fmj kills was much less frustrating when i was consistently getting two or three 7-9 kill streaks per match. Even if i was only getting like, 2 bullet penetration ones a game...

    I refuse to sit and camp by a wall out of pride, and im suffering for it. I finally got mastery for the M16, but ive got 40 bullet pen for scar and 20 for fal. Its gonna be a looong week.

    i was playing tonight for a couple hours and it was lagging like crazy. Im assuming it was just my connection, cuz the other team had no problem killing me. Its kinda frustrating, stalking a guy, going in for the knife kill, hitting R3 (PS3 controls), only for the game to freeze for a half second, then show me a kill cam of him turning around and seeing my guy just standing there before shooting me in the face. It really builds respect for my play within the playstation community.

    One time on Sabotage, the lag was so bad, that in the first 2 seconds of the match, 2 or 3 noob tubes killed off half the team. Like, Just as the round started. :|

    Anyone else have a problem with Sub Base? It seems like half the map isn't even used. Then it keeps spawning us in the same spot in a corner where we just get raped. Oh no, we don't get to spawn on the side of the level where nothing happens, it's right between two guys with ump45s and ACRs. Nonsense. I do like wasteland though... if only for amazing thermal sniping.

    The host put their modem on "stand by" and because the game is playing on their box, the game doesn't notice and they just keep on playing.

    It kinda goes like this.

    La la la, playing the game.

    Dead.

    The end.

    I had the craziest revelation today. I was playing with some friends of a friend and they wouldn't shut up about how the other team was camping and were a bunch of pussies.

    Anyway after the game, the guys on my team start screaming at the other team about being campers.

    And then the other team is like, "What? You guys were the ones camping."

    Gotta say, shooter fans, I love this community.

    While there definitely are people that camp by the definition of the word, most people (including me) use it to refer to lame-ass players that have the nerve to kill them.

    Why are they then labeled "campers," a heinous insult in our gaming community?

    Because f*ck them, that's why.

    I got labeled a camper during a SnD match on skidrow earlier. The first round, my team being on offense, I ran towards the alley. I was gunned down by no less than 5 of the other team. So at the beginning of the next round I think, well I doubt theyd be stupid enough to come the same way again, but just to be safe... So I "camp" around the corner. 4 of them run by me about 30 seconds later and I shoot them all in the back before they can retaliate.

    Boom, I'm a camper. Well, yeah... I guess so. Made me laugh anyway. Some people in Snd expect the attacking team to run 24/7 like fuckin chickens or else theyr campers.

    Have you tried it with the Holo and stopping power, 2 shot kills from any range is just stupidly good. I spent an entire domination match on Highrise sitting on the tallest point of the cranes like a demented gargoyle double tapping enemies that never seemed to watch their killcams.

    I camp on Rundown if I'm above level 45.

    Why you ask? Well, looking towards enemy-controlled A from the building at B with OMA, an M203, and some claymores, 20+ killstreaks are a simple matter. If you don't see anyone, lob tubes across the map! If you're dominating them, and you notice A becomes contested, launch a tube into A through the crack!

    You can hit A even better from the broken shack in the back left of C side. They land right by the fountain. With Danger Close you can't cap A. I've only encountered it once but it was infuriating.

    Yeah, but with DC on my OMA class the same situation applies from B.

    Also you can cover B, and hit the far left side of the map as well with the small bridge.

    Anyone know a checklist of good places to grind wall kills for the extended mags challenge? The only great spot I know is the generator room on Sub Base.

    One thing I found wierd is that I'm winning alot more in FFA when I camp for wall kills. I'm not even trying, I just glance at the score and find out I'm 3-4 kills in the lead.


    Uhm, theres also uner the plane on terminal especially if you're playing domination. You can look through this grate-like thingy and see B and the house next to it (roof included) also if anyone is down there you can shoot through the flaps of the landing gear. I think I got 7 fmj kills on terminal tonight. Almost done w the famas because theyve been so easy, only 2 left and I just got them earlier tonight

    Damn sounds good. And assholeish. With all due respect.

    Also, Sabotage is fun. So is a silenced AUG with grip and silenced Glock on the side.

    Also, edited config files to show me 10 ping bars with each representing 10ms. Now it's quite easy to tell who the host his and just how bad of an advantage they have.

    The fighting always seems to take place at A, on its God damn rooftop. I like sneaking around and flanking people, but I can't really do that on TDM Sub Base, as everyone is bunched in one area instead of moving around and giving me holes to punch through.

    Suffice to say, I hate TDM. The only mode I truly like is Domination. All the other modes devolve into TDM, particularly the ones with bombs.
