    I dunno, I much prefer the TAR/SCAR. But then again I've always a damage > accuracy person.

    I've go the same thing with the FAL. It just makes me feel like a badass with it's semi-auto goodness...but there are times where I just can't seem to win with it. What perks are you using?

    Oh, and the ACR should be EVERYONE's comfort zone.

    With the FAL I use Sleight of Hand pro, Stopping Power pro, and Ninja pro with the AA-12 as my secondary. Sometimes I'll switch to bling and slap the silencer on.

    The first time I unlocked it I was pretty unimpressed. Then I didn't use it on the next prestige. But the next one, I went for mastery on it and never wanted to give it up. So good. I've never gotten as many EADs in that short amount of time. My K/D skyrocketed.

    Ok I think demolition might be my new favorite game mode. I just played it for about 2 hours and won most of the matches and did hella good with my FAL. My best round was 47 - 12. Plus I love how I was earning like 10k exp each match.

    Super late seeing the new maps/hearing about them, but

    FUCK YEAH CRASH/OVERGROWN. The rain level is going to piss me off because, once again, lolthermals. Underpass sucks because of rain, and so will Storm.

    Fuck Demolition. Ive been getting better at this game and I can usually maintain a positive K:D ratio in TDM or Domination, but as soon as I get in a demolition game I start going 1:3 or worse. One game I was in a week ago or so I went 1:8. Fuck Demolition hard.

    Also, I would like to see a king of the hill gametype added. 1 flag on the map that rotates randomly once a minute, cant spawn in the same spot twice, and you get 5 points for every 3 sec you have a least one guy on the hill. After 1 minute, the hill moves and it begins again. Normal respawn rules. Score limit of 750 for 12 player matches and 1000 for 18 player matches, first team to that wins.

    I'm sad for no District, but Crash and Overgrown are fine by me. Gonna have to try out the new maps before I make up my mind.

    Also, as far as predictions for the new maps go, I appear to be 0 for 4. I believe my predictions were: Gulag, Oil Rig, White House and White-Picket Fence Neighbourhood.

    Killstreaks already wreck shit up on that level as it is, you're pretty much stuck in the buildings or under cover when the big boys come out to play.

    So that's not something I'm concerned with.

    But Shipment with 48 players on the PC has a special place in my heart. Spawn -> Mash knife -> 5 kill streak GET!

    I remember the time when the spawning screwed up on Shipment and my whole team was stuck together.

    There wasn't much we could do as a lone frag bounced our way. It didn't happen again, but still.

    On a side note, your sig is mucho grande, Keenbean.

    Ok, so MW2 is on sale at Gamestop for a while for 50 bucks. I owned it once before on XB360 and I traded it in. But I've had a hankering to revisit the game, and I was thinking that this time I would play it on the PS3. But before I make the final decision, I have a few questions.

    1) Is it possible to complete the Spec-Ops missions solo, or do you absolutely need a partner? The reason I ask is that none of my real life friends play MW2 so I would be at the mercy of strangers to get these done. (I'm thinking Platinum Trophy here).

    2) How are the game servers on the PS3? Is the game laggy? Is there still an active community? Is it easy to find games or will I be sitting in a lobby for 30+ minutes waiting for a game?

    3) How are the new maps? Is it worth the investment?

    3) the maps are not out yet. The come out on the 30th for the 360. They're not saying how long the exclusivity is going to last, but most bet 30 days or so.

    2)From what I've seen, the ps3 community is alive and well. Many youtube pubstars still post videos on there.

    1) Up until Charlie/delta, all of the missions are soloable, with the exception of the two air support missions. However, if you're going for stars, that means you're going for veteran difficulty, and I'd be hard pressed to solo all of the mission on veteran.

    1. Yes. You must have a friend on some of them and a friend REALLY makes it easier on some other ones.

    2. xbox.

    3. We'll let you know when they come out :)

    I stopped hating tubers when I started using the tube. It's really a helpful tool if you're using it "correctly." I know, there's no "correctly" in a game, but you get the idea.

    Moogle, I have never waited more than a minute and a half for a full match of ground war on the PS3 -- most of the time it's under 30 seconds. This game is big enough that the install bases of the two consoles doesn't really make much difference.

    pretty sure the guys in the little preview video that's on the XBL Marketplace said 30 days exclusivity, haven't seen anything published by IW or MS regarding it though. also not sure if there are going to be double XP weekends for PS3/PC when the maps come out for them as well, like they are doing for XBox.

    Bowling just did an interview with Hutch on youtube and wasn't willing to say when the map pack would be out.
