    I've been trying out the other modes since I've been getting a little tired of Merc TDM. The only one I don't really like is CTF. I haven't played too many games where people are actually trying to CTF.

    Yea the Blunt Trauma and Pineapple Express titles are totally perfect for the million or so guys on xbl with 420 in a gamertag. At least Pineapple Express was a funny movie.

    Also adding to the list of people to auto-mute is anyone with "High Command" "Joint Ops" "So Baked" and the like.

    Just got the M21 EBR... err M14... whatever. Anyways I'm totally in love and will probably use it with the acog when I unlock it and just use it like a regular AR.

    From kill cam I saw a guy raping me over and over with that thing and acog.

    The m21 is so weak compared to the .50 cal though.

    It's impossible to one shot someone with it.

    Wrong.

    Chest and higher will one-shot 90% of the time, and there's practically no recoil.

    No kidding, it's taking forever and a day for me to unlock extended mags on my ACR. I think I'm up to 16-17 out of the 40 i need now.

    I've played around with it, and tried puting around in the chest only to have to put another in them to put it down.

    You people act like using FMJ's is a downgrade.

    Personally, on weapons with good irons, I used them specifically for the (slight) damage boost and the Deep Impact functionality. No bling, just a stand-along attachment.

    Guys, when we get our 360 games on, we need to not use the same Clan Tags.

    It makes people leave and it takes for-the-fuck-ever to get a game going.

    Which is really either the point of them or against the point of having them.

    So, since this game is going to be appealed for ratings, I'm probably going to grab it (I do want it, since I love the series, but I wanted to wait for a price drop because of Kodicks recent price gouging) but platform... eh. Since I have a new gaming PC, I'd rather not grab an FPS on console if I don't have to, but the whole dedicated server thing annoys me (I do like online FPS, even if only for short bursts of gameplay). How does the PC version play online? Is there any way to be sure you connect to a game with decent ping?

    If you don't live in the USA the matchmaking is pretty abysmal.

    But good GOD the akimbo p90's are comic relief incarnate.

    Edit: Playing Rundown with Akimbo P90's and Scrambler, I pulled a 59-4 on Domination with the PA Crew.

    Yeah.

    Scrambler is ridiculous because the moment my map goes fuzzy I am immediately aware you are lurking about and your ambush is ruined entirely.

    It's basically a useless perk.

    No, it doesn't, sadly. XBL CEO's are too busy rolling in their money to let other people play with us. The tech is there, just not being utilized.

    This is what I thought as well, until I used it and went 59-4.

    Didn't think to bring the nuke just in case. It's a rookie mistake! Aaaagh!

    Guess I'll get it on PC anyway. I'm sure I can find Aussies to play with, even if only in private matches. I'm sure the lag situation will be the same on PS3, so I might as well go on the system where I'm more comfortable with the controls (I played through CoD 4 and W@W on PS3 just fine, but never touched multipler because I'm just not that great at fast paced shooters on a gamepad). I mean, I can be delusional and hold out in hope of a patch adding dedicated servers like the rest of the PC crowd.

    I imagine if and when I get a few nukes dropped, it will grow old and less enjoyable than other killstreaks.
    But as for the first time I've done well enough to have possibly used one, it's a moment of random regret.

    Ah well, back to the grind.

    Defense by yourself is how I did it. I hid in the building by the far bridge, and as people walked by they got about 40 rounds to the chest. Rinse and repeat with Scavenger until AC-130, then get another 15 kills because it's Ground War.

    For me it's usually people who actually bother to play the game that's listed. I know earlier I was playing Ground War Domination, I would stealth in and ninja a point alone since my entire team was clustered around the single point we had control of. By the time I captured the other point they would lose the one they were holding. It was amazingly frustrating. I couldn't hang back and play D since none of them were grabbing the other points and we had no hope of winning if we didn't get and hold two points.

    It was probably for the best I didn't have my mic plugged in.

    Less bads feeding the other team killstreaks like UAV and whatnot, and giving away positions, plus it's fun to play with people you know who don't stress you out with weed symbols and whatnot.

    I feel the sniper rifles are incredibly lame this time around. I liked the way that 4 had it set up much better.

    Also whoever said the M14 with an ACOG? I'd like to kiss you. I started using it instead of my Barret regurly and it's paradise.
