Scatman, I love you and have fun playing with you and everything but never ever change, you made that hardcore game more entertaining than it should of been.
After you left though, some asshat said that both me and alpha had scottish accents. Me I can sort of understand, but alpha, really?
I've been playing a ton with someone on 360 who's name is joshtogro, but I have no idea what his forum name is.
Anyone care to help me out?
His forum name is joshgotro (as is his xbl tag). He's good peoples and a quality player.
I, on the other hand, am mediocre at the game. Been playing some FAL lately, pretty fun (only have noob tube, looking forward to a site that doesn't BLOW). I pretty much always play stinger on every class. I find most of the time I don't have the time to switch to a secondary to make it useful, anyway. Plus, Scav Pro rules 24/7.

Just remember that on some maps that big rocket thing on your back is quite the >IM HERE GUYS< marker.
Also OP needs that Futurama - Ride the walrus picture I posted in the last thread.
I think I just played a match against glitchers. Every time (literally) I saw an enemy, I'd get about 5 seconds of lag. I'd see someone, try to shoot, and everything would just stop for a couple of seconds, then I'd be back and waiting to respawn. A couple of times I wasn't killed during the lag, and in these times I could unload a G18 at someone from around 2m away and then get shot while reloading. Also, I once got spawn killed 4 times in a row, within about a second of spawning each time, by the same person. Surely that can't happen naturally.

HC + Chopper Gunner is BS of the highest quality.
Shield bashing a guy on Underpass and causing his ragdoll to fall down the railing near B was a Kodak moment which made me much happier.
Been playing over the last couple nights after taking a break from the game, and I'm doing better than usual. A lot of 6:1 and 7:1 matches. My last was 21 to 3. TDM, of course.
Think it's because I'm playing more aggressively, though still with the same wariness and determination to never give the enemy a kill without putting up one hell of a fight.
Oh, and my respect for the AK has grown now that I've tried it with a suppressor. It seems to keep the firing animation from messing up my aim. The iron sights still have an absurd drift to them, but at least when I've got a shot lined up, I don't have to spray and pray.

Man, what the hell is wrong with sniper rifles in this game? Talk about hard to use, no wonder AR's rule MW2.

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.

Wrong. It takes a bit of getting used to but sniping in this game is hilariously easy. You'll have to learn to compensate for lag and lead your targets a little bit, but it's only difficult in the sense that an AR is "lol i zero sway you". The only bad part is when you've got a dude lined up and he full-autos you from across the map with his iron sight ACR.
i had some dude try to tell me that him abusing the carepackage thing was not a glitch, and was totally justified. when i told him it was getting patched out, he retorted with a your mom joke.
i might need a break until that patch hits..
For starters, you can equip a machine pistol as a secondary, and those things may as well be primary weapons in light of their stats. You're getting Overkill as a freebie, essentially.
Also, you can start with an OMA class and lay down a claymore and maybe a tac respawn, and scout the area before settling into your sniping position. Hell, your sniper class could even be an OMA build. Shoot and scoot becomes, shoot and scoot and change classes.
Agreed on the bullshit scope drift, though. It was a problem in COD4, it's still a problem in MW2.

Sure, but both Machine Pistols and Shotguns (excluding the Raffica) take about two seconds to switch to. Two seconds is a huge amount of time in this game, so I just end up using Akimbo handguns of some sort, usually Deagles.
On the OMA note; I tried that. I usually only do it on SnD, where I would start with my OMA DC M203 class and lay two claymores on a point or behind me, then OMA to my sniper class and let loose. DC Claymores have a tendency to blow you across the room, so it's very effective.
Having OMA on the actual sniper class sucks ass, because again, 3 seconds is a shitload of time.
how is it even possible to have so many fucking game breaking glitches like this.
it's killing me because i know there is fun to be had here, just not with online assholes
also fuck machinima.com for sponsoring these assholes

Hmm, I wonder how many glitches wouldn't even exist if OMA and care packages weren't in this game.
they should make claymores detonate instantly if you touch the front face... unless you have scrambler pro.
Well, it is a tripwire explosive, so there should be a <1 sec delay before it detonates, but i agree that running past claymores is plain bullshit and needs to be fixed.

Such bullshit. I'd be less inclined to rage if the biggest offenders weren't knife wielding assholes.
Yeah this game is just imploding upon itself. If I don't get a game that disconnects me after two minutes, I get into a game with some enemy off calling in Care Package after Care Package.
I thought RUST was only FFA, and that if you were in rust in TDM or GW than the host was running a hacked PC map. The last time I was in RUST kills granted a crazy number of xp (like millions).
I found myself a lot less frustrated with Bling 1887s and Badgers when I realised that, most of the time, the person would have killed me with any weapon.

Mostly lies, but meh.
Hell yes, IW made the game worse with the patches... Beats me how they did it.
I played hardcore for the first time yesterday. Search and Destroy was actually pretty fun. Had some pretty tense moments involving three mans rushing me, but the RPD prevailed.

not THIS claymore though. THIS claymore shoots fucking lasers for no reason. How about this for claymores. . . you place the claymore once to put the explosive down, then you can walk maybe 5m before you have to place the other end of the tripwire? Making it a tripwire.
also, last I checked, claymores don't have EYES or PHOTOSENSORS, so why the hell do flashbangs temporarily disable them?
I could understand stuns or maybe extremely close flashbangs detonating them. I know they're all balance decisions and they've become claymores in name only. But at what point do you consider all these concessions and say fuck it, let's use something that actually makes sense?
I'm fine with being able to temporarily disable them, but I do think they should go off faster.
And, of course, if triggered by someone who has gotten more than 3 knife kills, they should take flight and zap him with laser beams for the rest of the round.

Ugh. Gotta force a break and play something else.
It happened to me last night - fucker just kept calling and calling and calling. By the end I'm pretty sure he had 2 Harriers up and a AC-130 flying overhead. Cockholster. :x

They added Rust to the TDM rotation a month or so after release. Didn't think it was part of the GW maplist.
I swear that I will never be able to call a nuke in this game. Oh, I can go 34 and 2, but I always, ALWAYS get f'd over by the spawn. I just want to call one in without boosting. I can get EMPs out the ass, but no.... not a nuke.

If the president had any real power, he'd be able to live wherever the fuck he wanted.
Because IW thinks it's hysterical to allow the M16 to be used while in Last Stand.
With Akimbo.
