    I know this sounds stupid as shit, but the F2000 is probably my favorite gun now. I prefer predictable recoil to the kind of crap the TAR-21 throws my way, and that thing is a fucking bullet hose. Also, I can feel like I am the winsomest (this was "awsomest" until my spell checker suggested this. I couldn't pass it up) person around when I top the scoreboards with a gun everyone else thinks is shit.

    Man, just got into a terrible game of Headquarters. The other team was just so...terrible.

    One guy decided to go nuke-farming...he wound up getting TWO. He was like 75-9.

    I wound up like 45-10. At least I got to call in 3 Harriers (I was rolling 5-6-7 for killstreaks).

    Those other guys, though. Wow.

    Just got to feather the trigger and it turns into a pretty decent gun. 4 shots to kill and you can put them all in the space of a body with just a tap of the trigger.

    RPD fo lyfe.

    Man, I had like six games in a row where I topped the scoreboard (Ground War, so chump city, but still). And most of it was rockin' and rollin' with my buddy the RPD.

    Hey, you dudes, down the alley and hiding back in the little cubbyhole on Karachi...I can see you. And with FMJ+Grip and Stopping Power, I can also kill you. Rapidly.

    Damn thing produces a cone of death, which ignores all physical barriers, and coverts tortured souls into points next to my name.

    I actually ran out of bullets for the thing tonight. Twice. Like, went to reload and couldn't.

    Then the SPAS-12 came out. 'Cause ol' Betsy needs some love too.

    Not saying who I'm thinking about when I watched this.

    I think he's making a bigger deal about age than it really is. I'm 34 and if anything I'm better at games than when I was younger. My eyesight is worse thanks to years in front of monitors, but that's pretty easily corrected.

    It was my fall back gun in CoD4 as well, and I played that game up until this one came out, pretty regularly. I feel like I need to give the RPD another chance, because I've tried it twice and can't stand it so far.

    It's my official "fuck you assholes" gun. Like, I'll creep around with my M4 for a while, raking in headshots and doing alright...but then if they piss me off, or I start getting rolled...

    OUT SHE COMES.

    And man, I'll just choose some absurdly long sightline and wait to see a group of dudes with a deathwish. How do I know they have a deathwish? Because they stepped out of cover when I'm carrying an RPD. Oh, no man, don't bother running back behind cover now. I know where you are, and my FMJs will shoot through all the walls in the world.

    Snipers, too. Once I see a muzzle flash, you're fucked. 'Cause I'll have NO problem putting that flash inside the ol' cone of death, and whatever meager cover you think you have is not going to cut it. And my bullets do nearly as much damage as yours do, yes even across the map. So fuck yo scope, bitch.

    THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP BUZZKILL THUMP THUMP


    EDIT: And on Domination it's usually my primary go-to gun. Because like I said before, entire teams will just impale themselves on my tracers. Like fucking lemmings.

    so I finally got to pay back some of the rage this game has given me. Early on in a domination game I pulled an EMP from a carepackage. I thought to myself, lets hold this gem for just the right moment. about half way through the game a guy on the other team drops a harrier, I think to myself...naw, not quite yet. Then the pavelow comes out and that was good enough for me. BAM, free 700 points.

    It was the gun I used in my 'Widowmaker' class in CoD4. So much suffering spewed forth from her furious & unyielding maw.

    This sounds really fun. Unfortunately, I have some mental block that won't let me just spray at enemies, because then my accuracy would fall, and that is the worst thing in the world for me. I need me my accuracy.

    I found my new favorite "game-within-the-game" last night. Akimbo Uzis, Marathon/DC/SA, Semtex. I was just running around trying to stick Semtex to everyone I saw then hip-firing the dual bullet hoses. My scores weren't anything to write home about, but the visible panic on people with Semtex stuck to them is deliciously fun.

    Ahhh, yes. The "why isn't the beeping getting quieter" dance/run. They try straight-line running, and a little turn and/or zig-zag and then kablooey. I love semtex.

    And occasionally you'll get someone who know what they're doing and runs right for you, which only increases the funny.

    35.8 seconds?

    Surely you're fucking joking; I don't mean to sound like a dick, but that's slow as shit. The fastest time I've had, counting accuracy, was 25.x (too lazy to check). The static moving position is key to accuracy in reality, which is why the soldier's time was considerably higher. They should have given the annoying fucker a gun and had him run it.

    yeah really. the nerdy host guy made a big deal about pegging two targets at once, and it didn't seem like the SAS guy was allowed to do that.

    also I know the SAS is one of the most hardcore outfits in the world about mandating secrecy over their operatives' identities even in retirement, but it was kinda surprising to see that enacted even in a show about video games.
