So now I've got j0sh recommending that headset, too. :P
I take it you got it and it's working well?
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been playing with you guys. The exploiting is really driving me off until they manage to get a new patch out. Gamespy made a funny little flowchart about all this, in fact.
Never had a headset feel so solidly made before. Also just noticed you can bend the mic so it's in front of your face as well.
So are the emblem/titles bugged for anyone else? I got a game winning kill with a pavelow but didn't get a killcam so I didn't get the transformer title. I got killstreaks set at 7/8/9 and didn't get 6fears7. I've killed 20 people while under a flashbangs effect and haven't got the flasher. I don't have the my little pwny from silencer kills either.
:x
Frustrating.

I used to think Hardline was stupid but now I'm starting to really like it. I don't need Stopping Power with the SCAR (even silenced) and getting to 6 kills for a Harrier instead of 7 seems a lot more obtainable for some reason.

I like getting 3 kills, getting my CP. Then getting an AC-130. Aw yeah!
Doesn't happen often, but I've easily won a few FFA matches like that.

Grats on first place. I never can get into 'competitive' play just because I hate all the limits that get placed on the games. For example I find the limits on equipment in the upcoming CTF game on that site to basically make it an entirely different game.

I've been having fun baiting people with Emergency Air Drops. Last night in Estate Demolition I dropped one behind the A bomb site and just farmed kills as these four jokers tried getting my UAVs and Ammo. I literally got 16 kills doing this. Then my teammates stole all of my crates. I did get a nice laugh when one of the guys on the other team typed "STOP IT" as I killed him multiple times.

That's really stupid. It's like some kid took everything that's killed him before and decided it was cheap and shouldn't be allowed

I love it when people work so hard to try and steal packages, when all they had to do was watch like 15 seconds of their kill-cam and they'd know it is just some ammo and uav's.

From the gripes I read in this thread, it would seem alot of people would like this.

EdIT: no stun grenades? Why? I think I've been killed while stunned maybe twice? Flashbangs are far more deadly, I think. Though i've gotten pretty decent at knowing where I am, and being able to take cover while blinded.
It pigeon holes people into using Ninja, and only Ninja. With it removed it creates a far more friendly environment for other perks to be used.
Most of the yellow perks suck anyway. I roll ninja only because I don't find the rest terribly useful. I run sitrep from time to time, but no one uses claymores (except me) in TDM.

Those rules he provided was for a CTF environment. The kind of place where explosives such as Claymores and C4's would (or should..) be common place.

Well, I never really played Ground War, but if it doesn't have say, fixed general spawn areas like something CTF will have, you're not going to see much use of it.
But if you play something like CTF or S&D a HBS would be an incredibly powerful tool, since you'll have a good idea of where to point it.
Can anyone tell me how match bonus is calculated? It seems so fucking arbitrary sometimes.
General size of bonus determined by your level and the game mode, bigger bonus if you win, bonus size smaller if you weren't in the room the whole time.
Basically "you're doing it wrong" with MW2 unless you're running a straight sniper or assault rifle build with a weak secondary and no explosives.
**AKIMBO IS BANNED**
Overkill. The concept is fine, but the weapons are kind of unbalanced. There's no way in fuck you should be getting consistent akimbo kills from any further out than just a bit beyond shotgun range. Limiting akimbo to pistols-only would be the best compromise, in my mind.
**ALL SHOTGUNS ARE BANNED**
Hell fucking no. There's a reason why the SPAS is always my secondary. If the enemy allows me to get close enough to buckshot him into oblivion and isn't prepared for close-quarters gunplay, then he deserves it. It's a legitimate and fucking awesome tactical consideration. No akimbo shotguns, though. It looks stupid and can be abused.
No Grenade Launchers
Nerfed from COD4 without Danger Close. With Danger Close, you're essentially giving up your ability to kill efficiently with an assault rifle. Easily countered with blast shield.
No Secondary rocket launchers.
AT-4 is weak, Javelin gives you plenty of warning and the RPG is inaccurate as all get out. I think rocket launchers are a legitimate solution to take out the other team when they form squads of two or three to rush you or an objective.
No LMGs allowed.
What? The LMGs have been completely nerfed in comparison to COD4. Especially since it's impossible to use with the ACOG attached. So, you're basically limited to suppression fire or flushing out guys behind light cover. No silenced LMGs, though. So fucking stupid.
No Heartbeat Sensor
Ninja is there for a reason.
No Tactical Insertion
Sitrep is there for a reason. Tac inserts are one of the better additions to MW2 save for abuse by boosters.
No Claymore / C4
Sitrep is there for a reason. Claymores are also way less effective than in COD4, since anyone with Lightweight or Scrambler Pro can run right through two concurrently placed claymores.
to everyone ever: boo effin hoo this is more powerful than that hurf durf
just play, it is what it is
The only "too powerful" claim that I find legitimate is with witch-builds. Utterly gamebreaking: too fast, too much range for the lunge, too easily abused. Slow down the marathon + lightweight speed by 15% and you're good to go.

Oh how far we've come...
About 8000 people scattered across the playlists, most are non-prestige level < 30 for whatever reason.
I fall into that category. I got tired of MW1 pretty early... I think I started sucking and stopped playing.
MW2 has left me with renewed interest though, hopefully I wont suck as much since MW2 is still fresh in my head.
Are you talking about single player or multi?
multi.
I played with the G3 and was absolutely raining down helis, so I don't think so.
I like getting 3 kills, getting my CP. Then getting an AC-130. Aw yeah!

Basically anything that someone can use to kill you is cheap, and should not be allowed.
I understand the mentality, but implementing it like this "competetive" rule is just silly.
Its like The Miami Dolphins playing the Indianapolis Colts, only the Colts aren't allowed to play Peyton Manning.
That's like saying UAV's pigeon hole people into taking Cold blooded, and only cold blooded.
And we all know that never happens.
A UAV requires a kill streak. They can also be shot down with Stingers and/or regular firearms.
A Heartbeat Sensor requires absolutely nothing to know the general area of the enemy.
Most of the yellow perks suck anyway. I roll ninja only because I don't find the rest terribly useful. I run sitrep from time to time, but no one uses claymores (except me) in TDM.

It's about damn time. Now I may actually play this game again!
