    I can attest to the Holo tightening the spread: You need to do the test with two people instead of the wall. With the holo, your kill needs to be within the crosshairs at some point. With the grip, it can be a fraction of a hair outside and still be a kill if close enough.

    Good games tonight.

    I have a confession to make, apparently I'm a dirty "noob" or whatever for going 25-5 on Karachi with the RPD which apparently is "EZ-MODE" and was told off !

    By this horrible sniper named Manta123 or something with pot leafs and shit, who kept going 1:5 KD (I guess he played while stoned ?)

    I'm sorry. :cry:

    (By God the RPD sucks compared to the AUG though, only a few levels to go though.)

    Silenced P90 with Marathon/SP/Ninja is a delicious combo, as I have just found out.

    EDIT: Also, from Bowling's Twitter about unlimited care packages:
    One instance of how to do it was fixed. Another was found. We're investigating a deeper code fix for it to eliminate it permanently.

    So at least they know it exists.

    The RPD is my favorite weapon for Ground War domination due to its huge clip size (great for defending), but for anything that requires any more mobility or reloading the AUG is the shiz.

    edit: As for people defending the OMA DC toobz classes saying that its more about the spawns than the weapon, this is untrue.

    I have used that class to much easy and retarded success on every single map in domination, TDM, Ground war, CTF, sabotage and demolition. Even in games where my chopper gunner gets shot down I still do outrageously good with no effort because I can just follow behind my team mates and chuck tubes while planting claymores somewhere behind me.

    i go after people and kill them as much as possible when their clan sign is a certain letter of the alphabet repeated 3x. that's just not cool

    as for drug innuendo, it's pretty lame, but i dont have an active vengeance towards them for using stuff like blunt trauma

    Well I'm quite sure I know what kind of clan tag you are suggesting, though with the assholes I've played with yesterday that doesnt quite stir me up,

    this weird dude kept calling everyone (even his own teammates) the N-word, and said "fucking" as every 3rd word :?

    "Proven Mortal is a fucking faggot N-word" okay dude whatever, enjoy your ban.

    Edit: within the first day I played MW2 I saw a guy with a "NAZI" clan tag... Sad.

    Honestly? Yes. I'll be completely open and honest: When I see "Blunt Trauma" and "High Command" I roll my eyes a little bit and sigh. Using those call signs associates the user with a specific subculture, one which I think is full of morons.

    Invariably, anyone who uses the high command/blunt trauma/pot leaf icon goes on and on about how high they are at the given moment. Yes, the mute function works fine if I can get to it fast enough between games, but this is usually the same little kid who screams into the mic during the loading screen because he knows we can't mute him.

    Agreed. I have not met a single player who, using the Blunt Trauma or other associated tags, has not had either A) a grating, 7 year old voice or B) a dedication to enlightening everyone to the condition of their mind.

    Yeah last night my whole team was re-spawning at the same point, in front of the church on Wasteland. That's fine but not when the other team has a harrier and and a chopper gunner. Just ate through us. Even if some ran cold blooded, or which ever one makes you invisble to stuff, they would still get tagged by someone on the opposing team.

    Pot users, or as belligerent more eloquently stated below, the "High Times" culture.

    No, the "High Times" subculture.

    I agree with Michael. I certainly don't have any qualms about marijuana in general. I feel that if people can smoke cigarettes, then why not pot? However, anyone who espouses the baser tenets of the subculture (420, I'm so high right now, etc) are annoying and mostly silly geese.

    Calling every person who uses pot a moron is monumentally ignorant and about as silly goose as you can get.

    I will concede that the Xbox kids who feel the need to tell you how high they are and brag about their pot use are pretty stupid though.

    Everyone who uses pot is a moron. That's my opinion.

    You think I'm a silly goose for stating it. That's fine.

    Some of my best friends smoke pot. They're still morons for doing so. If anyone reading this thread smokes pot, I'm sure you're positively the nicest morons I'll ever meet. Doesn't mean we can't be friends.

    Here's how it shakes down:

    Some people said something disparaging about users of of the pot callsigns.

    Someone else asked why the pot signs are looked down upon more than others.

    I explained why that is. Life goes on.

    This has never happened to me and if this does happen I would assume the match is pretty much over. Wouldnt it be a good idea to use the shield class? The default one doesnt run coldblooded (so the harrier might get you from behind), but taking some fire from the chopper gunner and harrier would be a pretty effective role to help your teammates. If nothing else, it will get you some exp and progress on challenges.

    Is the riot shield effective against the chopper gunner?

    Riot Shield doesn't help much against the chopper gunner, particularly because most of the time you die because your are close to his line of fire, rather than within it.

    Also, why would anyone run a Riot Shield with Cold Blooded? That seems counter to the shields main point as the center of attention.

    In my admittedly befuddling world view, someone can be incredibly intelligent and still be a moron at the same time.


    pro tip: Opinions can't be wrong. That's why they're opinions. I'm sorry you don't agree, but I'm not losing any sleep over it. Similarly, I hope you don't get too worked up over my views. Trust me, it's not worth it. It's just the internet. Perhaps I am validating the GIFWT, but I see it as just being honest.

    Now I found a couple of awesome guys online that my friends and I play with who are admitted hardcore potheads. But they don't use those stupid symbols and callsigns. It's not the fact that someone smokes pot that bothers me. I don't care if someone does. I wouldn't be against trying it myself one of these days. It's just that, as mentioned above, the people that have them are generally annoying people and feel the need to be like, "OMG SO HIGH RIGHT NOW", as if anyone cares.

    Luckily, mute is just a couple of button presses away.
