So I just got Flawless (and survivalist), by going 20 and 0 in a free for all match.
And raYne, I think it was the shitty headshot hitboxes that were fucking up my G3. I'm finding that from the back, I gotta pretty much hit the top of the head for it to count.
And yes, I know It's pathetic, and kinda a bitch move to toot my own horn, I know there are tons of you who have done much more impressive things who don't feel the need to share here. But none of my friends will appreciate this. So I'm sorry. But not sorry enough to remove the post I suppose.

Go to the kiosk/booth near the Ferris Wheel, crawl low on the floor waiting for the timer to go down. Toss out the very few grenades that actually come in, other ones won't hurt you. Have your finger on the trigger towards the door so that if anyone approaches you can shoot. Only one or two guys will try. On your way out once the countdown is done, toss out a grenade or a flash grenade and just run like hell to pick up the guy and then run to the helicopter. Do not stop for anything, at maximum shoot anybody on your direct path. Doable on Veteran even.

I'm having connection problems.. it just stalls after I select the game type. It takes lots of tries to finally get in a game. I think I've about had my fill of COD4... I've put about 17 hours, am around lvl 32, and had fun with all the game types. I don't crave to play much anymore like I used to. The grenade spam has got to me as well. All in all I'd have to give this game a 10, even with the faults it's the best multi-player FPS I've ever played. Infinity Ward have created something special.
The G3 is absolutely killing by K/D ratio. Instead of the 4.0-5.0 K/D ratio that I normally get when using automatic weapons, I'm consistently in the 2.0-2.5 K/D range with the G3. I use the UAV Jammer instead of Stopping Power with this gun. Would SP make a significant difference or should I stick it out with the UAV Jammer?

I'm using the Red Dot attachment. I did notice that when I use the UAVJ, I use stealth-based tactics as opposed the aggressive style I enjoy playing when using automatic weapons.
Hey Kyoufu, do you live in the U.S.? You're online often but when I used to send game invites to you, you were never able to get into my party. From what I can tell, the patch that we received in December doesn't allow worldwide play.
vumpler said:For Search and Destroy 360 Players:
After attempting to find the perfect clan over the last month, I have found it impossible. So a few of us have decided the only way to find the perfect clan is attempt to make it ourself. Either clans are WAY to casual, or WAY to obsessive and we just don't have that much time. We all have school/job/spouse etc.
Right now we have 7 members in search for 14 competing members. We will be competing in game battles and would like to have it just be 70% gaffers.
You won't have to make yourself SUPER available. Thats why we are going to have 14 spots. Signups for matches will be first sign, first spot assigned.
We will have a 1 hour weekly practice to discuss and practice strats and then do intramural. Otherwise we will just be online playing against others. Matches will be schedules to the most people's availability. We will work with EVERYONE.
Super casual, but highly competitive clan. Add me on xbl "Jason Smapity" with the space or shoot me a pm to discuss.
Our website is here: http://www.clanthree.com
Gaffers unite!
I am interested.

See, I think UAVJ is only half-useful or should I say, mostly useless since without a silencer attachment you will be visible on the radar. I shoot alot so I can't live without the silencer. I think if you're using red dot, go with Stopping Power. If you want to stick with UAVJ, use silencer.
I'm in EU so I can only play Europeans. Another assy network design choice made by IW
I love the UAV jammer, but it's wasted without a silenced weapon. If you're intent on using the Red Dot sight I'd probably swap in Stopping Power. The G3 is a beast with it, once you get the hang of it. (It's also a beast when silenced and combined with the UAVJ, but in a completely different way.)Wickerman said:

Honestly, I don't find UAV/Silencer all that effective. I mainly rely on sight except for the few times I'm looking around corners, but then my play style is fairly aggressive and mainly suited for Domination/HQ type games rather than TDM style where stealth is a bit more important.
That is what is so great about this game and the perks; there are really a lot of different uses for them.

Yeah, I can definitely see that. I play TDM exclusively and enjoy shooting people in the back, so the UAVJ, silencer and Deadly Silence are godsends. Without a lot of play it can be difficult to see how effective these perks are, and the range penalty on silenced weapons is pretty brutal but it's worth it for the many more opportunities for shooting people in the back you're presented with when you're invisible to everything but the naked eye :lol.rotaryspirit said:
No doubt.rotaryspirit said:
Im thinking about buying this game, but im hesitant.... If I don't have Xbox Live, does this still provide a sufficient bang for my (50) bucks? Or should I buy Mass Effect?
Also, is there much of a difference in frame-rate between the 360 and PS3 versions? I know the 360 sails at a stable 60. Any other noteworthy differences?

Not worth full price if you can't play multiplayer online.Cataferal said:
There are basically no differences between the two versions on a technical level.
Cataferal said:
PS3 version here... I may not have the eyes of Dark10x, but I haven't seen a single framerate hitch...
The SP campaign isn't all that long and I'm not too sure how much you'd play Arcade mode, maybe Orange Box would be a better buy if you aren't going online with the game?

I do nothing but play Domination now (for points) because it's less frustrating than Headquarters when you are on a bad team. For that, Stopping Power/Fragx3/Martyrdom are pretty much mainstays unless I'm sniping, and then I just use Iron Lungs.
rotaryspirit said:
Yeah, I've pretty much given up HQ completely for two reasons: first, the ridiculous spawn points and second, and most relevant these days, exactly like you said, it's so frustrating when you're on a bad team. I mean, stab myself in the eye frustrating. I honestly don't think people know how to play HQ sometimes. When the enemy captures the HQ, they form a ring around the HQ and sit there, waiting for the enemy to come into view. Um...
I played my first two sabotage games tonight. I loved it. I'm going to try doing that more instead of Domination 99% of the time. Love domination though.

COD4 is now displaying a message that the servers will be down for upgrades tomorrow. I hope I can host and join private games when they go back up again.

moments like these, i wish i could shoot my squadmates...
other moments:
- when 2/3 of your team think they're snipers
- when 3-4 of your squadmates think standing still, close to each other
- When one of them put up a UAV, a second after you put yours online

Oh shit I thought you meant the part where you just have to snipe the guy. I was gonna make fun of you.McDragon said:
Yeah, that part is fucking hard as hell. The way you beat it is how I survived on Veteran.
rotaryspirit said:
That statement makes you want to smack whoever gave birth to that person.
To tack onto to what everyone else is saying, it's becoming harder to play headquarters simply because of the people who play and just don't get it. Some people treat it as if it's Deathmatch and try to get a ton of kills. Others simply run around or hide in corners hoping that they can catch someone walking past and they get their kill. YAAY!

How the fuck are you guys getting so many kills in one round? I don't think I've ever seen anyone get over 60. Jesus...

Even on Shipment, most of the time even the top players have a pretty mediocre K/D and not...well, maybe I have seen some kill totals in the 60s.Geoff9920 said:

Highest I've done on Shipment is 83 with 11 assists.
He probably was facing a lot of noobs and got himself some helicopters
The UAV thing isn't that big of a deal; especially because it gives you +10 to your score, on top of that it disappears if you get two more kills, so I don't see the problem with people using it as soon as they get it.

I guess I haven't played Shipment enough times to see such a massacre. I haven't really played much online the past month or so at all, period. Been busy with other games and also making my way through Veteran.Geoff9920 said:
CajoleJuice said:
Of course on shipment - on no other map will I even see 116 people
Surprisingly, it wasn't helicopters - I only got 2 that I was able to use, the first of which was mowed down in about 5 seconds. Airstrikes helped a bunch, but really, the G36 was just on fire. Normally I use the M16, but today I tried the G36 on that map - oh, a lot better. I was 116-22... I've played this map many times, never had I see anyone even approach 100, yet I guess it happens often. I'll never do it again, I just got lucky CajoleJuice

I think my best round was actually in the beta.
Was something like 50-8 in Vacant.

If you're playing on your own, and don't feel like PUGing against a (possible) full clan, then you go to Merc TDM. Both teams will be PUG's, so it's fair(er). I assume it uses the same team splitting algorithim/program/thingy that all the other playlists use, it just doesn't have to worry about keeping certain people together.

Holy shit S&D got harder. Which is nice to have a challenge, don't get me wrong. I assume the people that didn't care much for S&D and weren't very good at it are all playing HTDM now that it got its own category.
