It does take awhile, especially on hardened and veteran, but that's the only way I can personally get past the room. There's never actually infinite spawns.
As for the javelin:
Aim down your "sights" using the left trigger. You'll see green arrows pointing to the hard targets you can lock onto. Center one of those in your screen and you'll get a flashy buzzy thing when you lock on. Then fire with the right trigger.

Yikes, how can people play free for all games? I think I've been damaged by playing TDM in so many games, because I just can't relate to whatever enjoyment people get out of this chaotic mode.

Posted this in another thread:
Martyrdom needs to be fixed, even though you've thrown away your only frag grenade (unless you have the Frag x3 perk) you somehow magically get another grenade when you die? Or maybe you were just saving one for when you died.
It's also really annoying that even though you were killed, you still get a chance to kill someone.
Martyrdom needs to be moved to Perk 2, way too many people use it mainly because most of the perks in the perk 3 slot are pretty "meh" so people choose martydom cause it's the best one there. If they hade to choose between stopping power or double tap and martyrdom, less people would probably use it.
Also they need to fix so that if you don't have any frag grenades left, you don't drop a grenade when you die.
Though fortunately there is Team Hardcore, where most people who have martyrdom end up with a negatvie score because of all the team killing that ensues, thoug unfourtunately there is no Team Deathmatch only Team Hardcore
(And to the people who say "just run away lol", try playing Headquarters, loads of fun when you are trying to take the headquarter or defending it, and you get rushed by three guys who all have martyrdom, even though you managed to take 'em out, you're still dead.)

I don't want to say that Microsoft 1st party underachieves when it comes to technological things, but they clearly aren't the best at pumping out cutting edge visuals, save for Rare. Blimblim has heard good things about their R1 engine since it is being built ground up on the 360. People can question their games and the quality, but their technical acumen is without question. None of their 360 games are created from scratch with final dev kits.

I just finished the single player and loved it. The first person story scenes really impressed me and I thought the risks they took really paid off. For once the cliche "cinematic experience" came through.
This game seems to have at once reached the pinnacle of this style of scripted first person thrill ride, and also it's limit. When the game worked my instincts were engaged and I was filled with a panicked excitement, but just as often I found myself being too aware of the director's hand and having to outthink him, i.e. I'm not having fun & how do I trigger the next scene?
At this point I don't want to play another heavily linear, trigger point based fps. I have no desire to go replay any of the COD4 levels, while I'm still playing Halo 3 levels having beaten the game multiple times over. With their incredible tech and wonderful attention to detail, I'd love to see IW go more in the AI based "encounter" style with their next game... though I'll probably buy it either way.

Ah, my good buddy decides to show. I didn't say proficient, they put out games, they are at least that, but as far as pushing hardware, they don't do that. When 3rd party is able to put out better looking games than first party, it's quite easy to see and say that 1st party isn't the best at pushing the envelope.

Stop this. You're going to get to do the Prestige thingy anyway and wipe all your progress, so build up only a couple of weapons that you like or want to experiment with, and when you get tired of going all the way with Prestige, or when you hit the 10th level of Prestige, then focus on building up all the weapons.

I forget who the fourth guy is...
Also, Prestige Mode resets everything except Clan Tag and a couple of minor details. You also get a Golden Desert Eagle. So all that weapon xp farming is just going to go back to zero. Focus on skills that will level you up faster to hit more Prestige.

I've leveled up on the PC version as well and as far as I can tell there is no prestige mode on the PC version, I wonder why so?
zam said:
Given the number of people who use Martyrdom, I don't see it being changed much, for better or worse. I would be happy if they required you to hang onto your grenade, but I'm not unhappy with the way it is right now.
It's a great tool in domination when you're losing control of your flag... if you can get in the vicinity of the flag... so some maps it works better than others.

this is no intent to derail this thread, as i posted many times against console wars centered around this game in the first couple of pages., but i need clarification about this:
link
i was under the impression that both versions only support 18 players, but if the head of the studio says it i maybe wrong. any ps3 users can confirm this?

The guy is full of it, both versions are 18 players max, and the PS3 version has already been proven to have lower resolution textures in many areas. At best you can say the versions look equally good but different.
Apparently all the stuff about PS3 being so hard to program must be true since IW can apparently take the best programmers around and put crappy ones on the 360 and get comparable results. :lol
I guess if I were a 360 programmer at IW I should now realize that my bosses don't think that much of me.

That's not true. Maybe it was true when the magazine went to print, but if there is a 24-player mode in the PS3 version then it must be real well hidden.
I just got to level 38 and I'm kinda done with this game. It's certainly a good multiplayer shooter but it has too many annoying little things that stop it from being excellent imo.
- Martyrdom (& Last Stand). Yeah you can run away and I rarely die from it, but it's a stupid feature that doesn't belong in this game. If it was absent from day one and was added later with a patch, everyone would call IW retarded.
- Machine guns used as sniper rifles.
- Random grenade spamming. Now I see why Valve removed them from TF2.
- A lot of times you get killed without even seeing your enemy. While that makes sense in a modern warfare shooter, it's just not really my cup of tea.
- Constantly getting dropped (kicked?) out of lobbies after one match. Why people like the matchmaking system is still a huge mystery to me. Good ol' server list is so much easier. You can't even pick the damn map ffs! Okay I guess I should've bought the PC version.

This game is starting to piss me off. Must be lag, but I'm sitting here spraying someone down with an AK, and all of a sudden they turn around and just kill me. I have to empty half a clip with an AK + Stopping Power to kill someone. WHY DO I HAVE TO SHOOT these guys so much for them to die? It's not an aiming problem, because i'll be right behind a guy and I have to empty half a clip into him for him to go down.

It'd be cool if you could choose just one thing (either park or weapon) to keep when you trade in all your progress for Prestige Mode. I'd keep that Golden Deagle.

Out of the close to million people that have logged in XBL, I'm in the top 20,000 in accuracy, and I have the same issues. IN Halo 2, when they kept track of accuracy, I was over 50% damn near every game. Something is amiss

Martydom really sums up the design of the MP perfectly. Cool or neat ideas first, and strong competitive, skillful, or tactical design a distand third.Scotch said:
Which is fine in the short run; it's indeed fun in moderation. It just hurt its long-term prospects, at least on PC, when up against the much more refined MP design of TF2, UT3, or ETQW.
It also doesn't help that they decided to make Ranks and Challenges client-side. Are we back in the 1990s? Folks have apparently been editting their own Profiles for a couple weeks now.
Ya know, I originally thought the game did a terrible job at separating good players from the bad, but the more I've played, I'd have to retract that statement. It's so easy to flat out dominate matches in this game, once you learn where people are going to go on every map, it's just a matter of can you line up enough people before they turn around on you. :lol

Getting a little frustrated by Mile High Club on Veteran. There's times when I clearly mess up myself and am the cause of not making it in time, or dying. But when a guy kills me while he's falling down dead it's kind of frustrating. Or when a guy kills me with blind fire.
