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.
If I'm watching an MW2 video it's because I want to watch MW2, not forty seconds of 'look what I can do with Movie Maker'. It's also far more helpful to actually see how you're playing if I can hear the audio cues from the environment that you're responding to and the team callouts rather than the music.
lol, I'll post the games from last night today when I get home. I think brutle will be happy, I got his 3 pavelows... I think. I'll change my tag to REC when I'm recording.
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.

It looks like a Secondary weapon (Hell, if it were Primary I'd roll with that). Rather than equipment.

Actually, I think it shows "Press X to Pick Up Knife" in the video. I'll have to double-check.

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.

I just checked, you can pick it up, it appears very quickly.

Still not that bad. Basically a more accurate throwing knife.
"Okay, don't ever talk to me again, githert! Cause I have a girlfriend, and I've had sex with her, and she liked it so there! I'll report you but actually not, because reporting is gay!"
I will pay cash money (hoes) for a recording of that, if you can. Set your voice to come from the speakers and plug your 360 audio into your PC audio-in.
Sorry, I had to record it with my phone. And I got what he said wrong, but in my defense I was laughing a lot.
For context, I sent him a message after the game that said something like, "If you ever want to talk I'm available. I know how hard it is being a young man in the closet."

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 betting if it is full auto like in the video, it's accuracy and power is nerfed.
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.
I mean, double blade guns and exploding crossbows.
At least now I can act out my favorite Rambo scenes.
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.
And then I cheered when he got a missile to the face.
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...

As amusing as that is, Jonny, you do know where that analogy leads to, right?
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.
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.
I took a break to render some videos. I'll be back on later.
Unfortunately, my breaker tripped and the audio messed up on the best video, so yeah, there'll be music on that one. The audio track is 5 minutes longer than the gameplay. figure that one out.

yea, I checked Den Kirson's chart thing and it seems like I'm mistaken about the damage falloff, maybe IW did make the FAMAS an overpowered POS on purpose
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.

Treyarch has had the advantage of watching what happened to IW and MW2.
Treyarch probably wants to avoid a situation like that.
