Honestly the only thing I'm missing right now is...Ghost Pro, SoH Pro, Marathon Pro, Hardline Pro, and Lightweight Pro so I guess all in all its not that bad prestooging.
Honestly with the steakhouse and LW/SA/Mara I think I can pretty much tolerate another couple of prestooges, so I think I'm just going to say fuck it and keep on going till I hit all the extra class slots.
So I was rolling around Havana with my Spas, and was really lamenting the lack of range on it. I see an anemy running around Lightweight/?/Marathon and I chae him down to shoot him. Turns out he has found a viable solution to the shotgun range bit. Use a g-11 and Steady Aim Pro instead of a shotgun.
Turns out....works kinda well. You have to worry about Second Chancers again, but it's the g-11 so one more burst isn't a big deal.
Here's an awesome video of me getting a triple kill while dual wielding skorpions. I love running around with akimbo smgs while I have a team of at least decent people.
I'm sure others have already weighed in with their opinions, but my computer is broke and I don't know what's going on, but I really like the map pack. Kowloon is pretty awesome, and might be one of my favorite maps period. Berlin Wall, and Stadium are good maps. Discovery can be brutal against a team of ghosts or with a really crappy team who can't hold your line up to B. I discovered that when I went 47-21 in that map with 5 caps and 10 defends and got destroyed because the rest of my team did nothing. I'm sure Discovery is getting a lot of hate, but I think it will get better as everybody gets used to the camping spots and can roust people out of them faster.
I had my best game the other day when I went 73-5 on WMD in a game of domination where I got chopper gunner and attack dogs twice. It felt really boss.
I'm going to pile onto the ghost hate from earlier. I was playing the PA people in ground war the other day and called in a spy plane and got one red dot. One out of nine fucking people wasn't running ghost. I also got a chopper gunner and about half of them had ghost pro as well. It was awful.
I guess they couldn't figure out a way to remove restocking tubes without making OMA completely useless. Of course, I don't see how that's possible, but that's the best I can come up with.

More likely Activision forbid them to make any further gameplay affecting changes apart from bug fixes. Still absurd, considering the OMA tweak was in discussion even before the meltdown.

Prestige is so painless in this game that I might do a couple more runs.
It's disappointing that the color clan tag is reserved for 13th prestige, though. No way in hell am I putting that kind of time into it, but I'd really like to see my tag in better relief on certain camo schemes that obscure the white.

Anyone want to play with a newcomer? I'm on the 360 and I'm trying to get to 25 today.
Hey Auburn, back when you changed your XBLID last year, it sent out a message to me stating that your ID had changed. Did you have to do that manually or does it automagically send it to everyone on your list?
Also, I'll be picking up BlOps in the next couple days. Meeting a dude from craigslist (50% of retail? Sure).

It is possible to dive to cover from the side and survive a hail of gunfire, but only if you deliberately reorient yourself to face the cover, (going from --- to |) to reangle the player so they don't take too much damage.
I would never, ever count on it though, but if you're lucky it works.

So...bought the Strike maps just because I came into some money so what the heck.
Kowloon is pretty good. I like the design and it's easy to get used to, also pretty cool to look at.
Stadium is nice for quick games, pretty straightforward.
Berlin Wall, I'm still a bit iffy on. Too many places to camp, but Hacker does come in pretty handy on that stage.
Discovery, meh. It's too big and it takes a while to find people. Especially when they're camping.

So...overall 2 out of 4 isn't bad I guess.
I don't like Discovery TDM because of the same reasons you pointed out but I really enjoy if for objective gametypes.

I don't know what to say other then it works with my connection, tonight it made the most clutchyest Mc Clutcherton thing happen in a game of demo.
We think it was at least one person on the other team modding because of their near instant defuses and the fact that the video gives an error "Unable to load world while world is in use"
So its sudden death and after the entire time we manage to blow B giving us three minutes of tossing ourselves at A, with like and I kid you not under a minute the steakhouse comes out swinging and drops five people and I get the plant with sub ten seconds left taking the game into super sudden death overtime overtime where if they defuse it we lose and if we get it we win.
Tridus drops napalm on the bomb, another person drops napalm on the bomb, and boom GG bitches. Anyone who was in the game can tell you just how huge of a win that was that we pulled off I mean it was down to the absolute wire and we got the plant at the very very end and pulled it off.

Lots of them I could use huh...
Hopefully my connection should unfuck itself in an hour or two so I can get back on, otherwise I'll be on noonish tomorrow because I could care less about the super bowl, mainly due to the fact that I didn't get booked to work this year.
That demo game revert is talking about was a well fought game. I dont mind games like that, even if I do bitch a lot, because at least I can fight back and somewhat determine the outcome due to better gunplay/tactics. Overall that was a good fight the enemy team pushed us hard.
Another game I played on berlin, a demo match as well, was just flat out unplayable. We all had poor connections and the enemies were pretty much teleporting on my screen. I dont like backing out but for games that are flat out unplayable, I dont mind rage-quitting and not dealing with it. Why should I have to deal with someones shitty ass connection and handi-cap myself to the point that I can't even fight back? Yea so if you play with me and it's clear the lobby has a unplayable connection because of the god awful host, then expect me to head out. I know people got mixed feeling about this whole thing but I decided it was time to just make a line on how much lopsided BS I can take.

Well fought for us, those insta defuses they had though wasn't so much. Bad spawns made that game so much more frustrating but daaamn where those two napalms you two had came from I will never know, I mean either you were sitting on them for some hail mary play or just fate smiled on you and gave it to you right before I went in and had shotgun sally singing her song.
Still I wish to christ I could watch that film from our final push and see how down to the wire it was, I remember the time was in yellow when I planted.
You think it might work for someone who wasn't in that game to watch the film? Like if I fileshared it and someone downloaded it and viewed it it might play? Because damn it I want that film so flipping bad, at least the overtime part of it.
Seriously though, we've had a few crazy comebacks in PA games (Dom on radiation tonight/last night were we three capped for a 201 to 198 win with the big comeback) but I think that game was quite possibly the most satisfying win I've had ever in Blops. I like to think that we just flat out outplayed them in that final round.
I remember planting and then just going "napalm it napalm it napalm it" as I ran away and having you two drop it on there, I could just imagine how pissed those guys were that we pulled that win out of our asses like that.

I was just about to suggest filesharing it. The best PA objective matches should be fileshared by law. For instance, I've still got the Radiation Dom game where milkducks, a couple of his friends, josh and I locked horns with a good - but not quite as good - team.

Man, what?!
Last time I checked, IW were the devs, how could that lose that fight? To whom? How?
I guess they're down to just Bowling and the janitor.

Cool, I've only had the game for a few days.
Give me a half hour and I'll be on, chinese food from last night is due any minute now so I gotta keep that time slot open.
I'll add you though from xbl so expect a FR in a minute or two.
Downloading the game. 6.5 gigs take some time. Also dinner and a movie.
