    Fuck Youtube.

    Speaking of which, more videos from our gameplay. I figure it'd be fun to keep a record of how we're doing. These aren't the "best gameplays, " but rather just fun matches which show how well we roll... If you want me to stop, just say so.

    OH SHIT I'M ON TEEVEEE!!!!!

    How is that knife any different than the throwing knife?

    Other than, you know, being a secondary instead of an equipment slot. And if the rumor is true, and I haven't seen any evidence that it's not, the stabby knife was just part of that kit.

    So trading the ability to shoot a gun for throwing knife + "tacticool" seems fine for me.

    It's also knife that has limited ammo and from the looks of it you can't pick it up from someone you just killed, cause ya know, the blade is imbedded deep inside the victims skull.

    Meh. As long as people don't instantly teleport towards me I'll be happy.

    Though I guess that depends on how much work was put into the engine.

    And seeing all the support we've gotten for MW2 I believe we have nothing to worry about.

    Ignore this if I've misunderstood you.

    Treyarch is not IW.
    Treyarch has had the advantage of watching what happened to IW and MW2.
    Treyarch probably wants to avoid a situation like that.

    Right, which is what I said in my post.

    My point is that alot of people rage about knifing in MW2, but what they're really mad about is knifing + being able to shoot + commando + (sometimes) Marathon/ Lightweight.

    Just from the video, I can see that one of the "problems" is taken care of: You have to decide between a knife with a throwing knife attachement, or a gun.

    The range on the knife in blops, coupled with the "reload" animation, seemed about right to me, but granted it was a 5 second magazine.

    I just get frustrated when people judge blops based on MW2. That's exactly like judging WaW based on what happened with CoD4. Blops could certainly suck, but... dude... it was 1 video that was like 1 minute long. At least wait for the "beta". Or a real preview by someone respected.... something.

    Everyone here liked MW2 at some point, right?

    I very much doubt the famas in MW2 is the same as the famas in blops. Now, I didn't say OMG when the trailer came out, but it did get me very, very excited.

    You did see the part of my post where I said that the FAMAS disgust/apprehension was a personal thing, right? And also, how I said in the post preceding that one that I thought that they could be abused, not that they would be abused?

    I'm kind of exited for Blops now. I wasn't and then the teaser sold me on the multiplayer aspect. it looks like something I won't ever be able to take too seriously.

    It's okay to hate the famas. I can't stand sniper rifles in general and thermals in particular, so I was pissed when I saw a SR in the trailer, I was pissed.

    MW2 is the Barrack Obama of video games. Everyone was hyped as hell at first but after time the reality set in and it just had no way of being as good as advertised and there were tons of problems real and imagined to criticize. I'm hoping BLOPS is the Bill Clinton of video games. Everyone is apprehensive at first but it ends up being just some good excessive fun.

    Rumor is there will be some sort of MPbeta/demo next month...

    MW2 is keeping a BJ on the down low? Sweet.

    Yea for all the crying/bitching/whining I do about this game, I keep coming back. This game gotta be doing something right, so i'm willing to give BLOPs some credit. Out of the shooters I played, the call of duty games are the fast-paced action I enjoy in MP. Also the SP looks pretty damn cool, I wanna play a space suit man helping out the ground forces.

    this, the main reason the FAMAS, FAL, and UMP are so overpowered is that they don't lose damage over range, which seems almost certainly to be due to a programming oversight when you compare them to the damage curves of the other weapons. hopefully Treyarch will be a little more on the ball with their number-crunching and QA than IW was.

    also, if I don't get to shoot a bunch of VC trucks off the side of a cliff with the exploding crossbow while wearing a bandana, then fuck this game.

    They definitely do lose damage over range. The UMP only loses 5 damage which barely makes a difference.

    edit: The FAMAS and M16 have 40 damage, not 30. My bad. They are the same power as SCAR, TAR-21 and AK.

    They do lose damage over range. The FAMAS does 40-30 damage, but that minimum damage is reached a bit after the M16 does so. The UMP is 40-35 and reaches the 35 very quickly, but is still 3 shots to kill.

    No. The FAMAS and M16 have effectively the slowest fire rate, but they do more damage per bullet (40-30) than the M4, F2000, and ACR (30-20)

    I see where I went wrong, the FAMAS and UMP do lose damage, but the FAMAS does so much later than every other AR which seems like an unfixed error to me. Same with the UMP, it loses 5 HP from its initial damage very quickly like you said but still does 15 more damage than every other SMG, which also seems like an unintended error to me.

    just my opinion, but given the other wonky stuff that's never been addressed like certain suppressors not working and whatnot, it doesn't seem like a far-out assumption to make

    The UMP is a copy of the MP40 from WaW, which was an overpowered piece of shit. The FAMAS does not hit minimum damage "much later" than any others; it's only very slightly better than the M16's dropoff.

    S314der, in regards to that demo game.

    If they are camp sniping a single avenue choose a class with a silenced weapon and/or marathon. Then approach them from the angle they are not properly watching. I like to add CB to my class as well and choose a ump or tar for that silenced weapon.

    Oh, and DC works wonders for defending the bomb site.

    EDIT: and don't play demo unless it's S&D. Certain maps they spawn right on the bomb and it turns out stupid unless the attacking team is TI'ing and being cheap in their weapon set up.

    I don't find it any more overpowered than the SCAR. That's just me I guess though.

    The UMP is horrendously OP though. Fuck that thing. Everyone should use the Vector.
