Regardless, he definitely proved that he tore up his hands punching that wall, so if that's all fake I'm actually going to congratulate him.
Meanwhile, I've only played two fucking games online. I must be getting old. So I'm sitting on level two with no perks yet. Somehow I'm not really amped about playing long sessions yet. Maybe after I finish the campaign and then get some momentum going to encourage me.

For Scrapyard and Highrise, I recommend changing your main weapon to a silenced SMG and your secondary to a silenced shotgun. Makes those maps much more fun.
The only map I dislike is Wasteland. I liked it in CoD, but I don't think it's balanced for air support kill streaks.
HehFull Recovery said:I'm not sure why people complain about campers. "Camping" by my definition is a person who stays put in one spot just waiting for people to come by. He may wait there for half the match and get a few kills but good for him. Now I like to be persistent at key choke points. So I get a few kills then I move to where the combat has gone. That's not camping, it's being smart. It's just another playstyle.
Running and gunning is a playstyle too, and I love run and gunners.. because they're usually easy kills
Don't complain about "campers" change your playstyle and get them. Use something silenced with cold blooded and ninja and knife them in the back. Don't keep running right back to them because that's what they want.
noobs.

Just beat the game. Last act was brilliant, and almost made up for the (relatively) mediocre second act.
I guess the ending
I'm loving MP, but the small selection of maps in Free-for-all (what I play 90% of the time) is making the gameplay feel stagnant. I wholeheartedly welcome DLC if it means more selection.

means there's going to be a sequel? Sure hope so!

Imprecise to you maybe. I game on both console and PC, and I feel fine with either a controller or mouse. A mouse is just easier to use for people, especially since many people use their PC more often with other activities than gaming on it or console.
I don't want auto-aim because it gets confused and pulls you off damn target in situations that happen more often than you would think. The no good thing will even pull your reticle along a wall at times.
And sniping sucks in this game. I snipe in basically every other game out there, but this one is just terrible. It's not fun, and everyone just votes wastleland or backs out when it comes up so meh. The mechanics suck, and the vast majority of the maps are not made for it. IW can learn a LOT from looking at the devs who are better map designers.

The music in this game is pretty damn good and epic
like seeing DC burning for the first time, the boat chase, and near the end of the white house part. The music when Roach and Ghost get burned is pretty good too.

Playing COD makes me want to join the military. And that scares me.

COD4 did that to me when I first started playing it last year. I was really close to joining the Marines.

Yea but theres no way you can aim with the controller with no auto-aim, absolutely no way. So you kind of have to deal with that.
Finished the campaign just now. The second half almost made up for the awful first half. I enjoyed everything after the tanker level and liked the sniping missions. I still loathe the ridiculous autoaim that the game uses/is designed for. A smidge it okay, but goddamn it's so bad in the COD games. Great score from Hans Zimmer. 7.5/10.

Maybe you can't. But there are games out there with FAR less amounts of it and aiming is just fine.
And yes, it's a shame about no webstat tracking that many other games have done this gen. IW's budget all went into host migration tech though, something games did last gen on console. That, and that sweet commercial rocking that Eminem track.

Sniping, in real life, is camping. And in the game, especially COD, it takes a fair amount of skill since the enemy has so many ways of identifying and eliminating a camping spot. It's annoying, but in COD it's a high risk, low reward strategy.

The epic soundtrack was definitely one thing that MW2 did better than CoD4. It really helped set the mood in a lot of scenes. A lot of the score is still stuck in my head after burning through the campaign at my friend's house.

Just got 1000/1000 Achievement points for this.
By far, the second to last Special Op is the hardest. The final one isn't bad at all thanks to the 50 cal sniper. Only took me and a friend about 5 tries.
Now to focus on multiplayer.

Beat the campaign in nearly 6 hours.
Because of some shitty level design and some brain dead AI from enemies & allies, I'd give it a solid B
Really shocked that the campaign garnered such acclaim from reviewers...

No web tracking, no replay mode, no co-op play (though Spec Ops alleviates that pretty neatly)...
What I'm really curious to see is if IW will support Modern Warfare 2 better than they did the original. Timely patches, more DLC, etc...
I don't expect anything extra for the story, but I'd definitely get a Spec Ops DLC pack.

May the Schwartz be with you
Just did the ninja cold blooded combo with a silencer...that was fucking awesome lol. Unlocked heartbeat and im going to test out what you all are raving about :lol
SolidSquirrel said:
Awesome. red dot on the FAl brings it up a whole new level as well.
For Kill streak rewards it seems pretty varied. For me I now just focus on, UAV and anti-UAV. Picking up the packages gets me killed more often than just keeping playing, so I tend to ignore the higher killstreak rewards and maybe use one near the end of the game.
Say I beat some of the levels on Veteran and the rest on Hardened. Do I still get the achievement for beating the campaign on Hardened? Or does every level need to be completed on Hardened individually?
Also, what levels are the easiest sets to do on Veteran for achievements? I did SSDD and Team Player. How hard is Cliffhanger?

I love it. I have a P90 scavenge pro/coldblood pro/ninja pro build with claymores that I use to lock down the top corner and rack up kills while roaming that and the top-level warehouses. It's funny how people assume, once you've killed them once or twice in that small open square that the path leads to, that you're always going to be in there. I catch groups of three or four unawares all the time, and scavenge keeps that sweet, sweet Claymore action coming :lol
Anyone know how many Claymores you can have active at one time? I usually put one on the long sloped path and another at the barricade entrance, but I don't think you can really load up on them.

Other than the music, I think the campaign from CoD4 was much better. That said, there are still some memorable parts from MW2. I liked the Mirror's Edge-esque part where you were escaping from the mob of militants in Brazil. The whole gulag level was also pretty awesome. I also really liked the strip mall part in the USA and it was a lot of fun controlling the predator missiles.
I think that more than anything, though, the annoying blood splatter really ruined the actual shooting part of the gameplay for me. It was nothing but frustrating when you were practically blinded after getting shot once or twice.

At least 5 times now I shot a grenade from my grenade launcher at pretty close range and it went right through the enemy and did nothing. I hope they fix that.

Just played on Rust for the first time in Free For All. Such a small, hectic map. I kinda liked it though. :lol

I beat CoD4 on Veteran on my first playthrough, but I had to bump WaW down to Hardened and it was still annoying as hell.
