    Anywhere to get keys now, or any extras that you guys aren't using? Let me know, this looks great.

    Question:

    How do I call airstrikes? I haven't gotten 5 kills in a row yet, but I know how to turn on the radar for a bit but hitting Right on the D pad. But, if I do use the radar, does that mean I can't use the air strike?

    Also... I can usually get about two kills or so before biting the dust. I thing I'm playing it too aggressive, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it and don't think I'm really playing any differently than the rest of the players.

    Any tips?

    Also, you have to keep fuckin moving in this game. If you're still for more than, like, 10 seconds someone's gonna either snipe you, or sneak up and shank you. It's stressful.
    Keeping in motion was how I got my 17 kill streak (which I thought was pretty darn impressive by my standards), you gotta keep moving, its an extremely fast paced game, even as a sniper. And don't dismiss the knife, it's your best friend in close quarters, most people tend to blind fire, but what I do is I line up my sights, sprint, and lunge forward with the knife for an instant kill.

    If there's anything I've learnt, it's that the spray and pray technique doesn't work very well here, unless you're a light machine gunner, then your task is to lay down covering fire; else, remember to line up your shorts, stay calm, and fire in bursts.

    I also cannot emphasis enough the importance for team work, so remember to flank, out flank and things like that, and if there's anything I hate most, its when someone UAVs moments after I UAV, you have to time your power ups and work as a team.

    I've taken to using sub machine gun with the extra health and the extra sprint. Basically, running into position, finding out where they are, and simply rushing them. I can take an extra hit or two, can run extra far, and the sub machine gun is actually pretty versitile.

    I'm fucked when it comes to long range, though.

    I find that Stopping Power is better for SMG usage... in fact, I think Juggernaut is kinda useless. I really didn't notice a difference in how quickly I died with or without.

    I'm also a Last Stand asshole. I really don't care if I get a kill with the pistol... I just want an extra second to annoy them, and let a teammate sneak up behind them for the kill.

    I find Last Stand very iffy, as it only seems to work on folks who don't expect it. Once you've killed a guy once with it you'll never get him again.

    Recently I've become very attacked to the UAV Jammer. My default custom has that, a silenced M4 and a silenced 1911.

    Oh man, I was playing with Inglorious C for a bit last night and I had the best round of my life. Went 35-3 in Vacant with the RPD. I love shooting through walls and crates and fucking everything else. I'm looking forward to Halo 3 coming out just because the few 13 year olds that are actually playing will go off to Halo 3 and leave CoD4 to *hopefully* older people. Pretty sure I'm gonna pass on Halo 3 and grab this one.

    Halo 3 and this will be my XBL life defining titles.

    I think I see myself playing more CoD4 though,especially if I can maintain my now HUGE CoD4 friendslist.

    honestly, I could fill like 3 entire games with all the people messaging me for an invite o_O

    Like I said, I don't use it to kill the guy.. just to make him go "hah got him... what the fuck?!"

    It makes them take an extra second to kill me, which can be all the team needs to take him down too.

    Or he can just go back behind cover and reload while you bleed to death, still netting him the full kill.
    He'll at least get an assist if someone else finishes you off, which is still needed for the assist challenge.

    Depending on how malleable and pervasive the gametypes are; COD4 looks like it may negate my want to play Halo 3 online. I don't know if I can play an FPS without a sprint function now. Hearing the gunfire behind you as you literally run for cover is a completely visceral experience.

    You die and respawn instead of waiting to die slowly if there's no one around for you to shoot.

    Most people want that kill, and get pissed about you not dying, especially if they've moved on already.

    Like I said, I use it to create a distraction more than anything. If I'm dying, I'm normally near the bomb/control point, making trouble for a couple more seconds.

    Yeah I totally noticed you after I removed my clan tag (My friend complained about it confusing him). I saw the PA tag and I was like, "Of course as soon as I take it off!" Unfortunately the people on my team were unbearably annoying. Had to get out of that game fast. Don't now if you got a chance to hear them but it was terrible.

    I'm have a decent level of excitement for Halo 3 but recently playing Halo 2 after CoD4 has made me question my Halo skills. I'm so much better in CoD compared to my Halo suckiness. I'm hopeful my Halo 3 skills are close to my CoD4 skills. I remembers in the Halo 3 beta I played much better than Halo 2 though. So I'm hopeful.
