Thanks for the quick answers. This thread is a bastion of knowledge and pro-tips.
As far as maps go, I think I like them all now except Quarry. Estate is annoying because you can't fucking see anyone, but I don't mind it so much in non-DM playlists. And Wasteland is decent for Domination.

I wasn't even hyped for this game but after beating it on Veteran and playing about 12 hours of multiplayer I honestly think it is the greatest game I have every played. Gameplay is so refined and there is so much to do. Spec ops and all the multiplayer unlockables make it ridiculous. Love the balance of the perks and how they handled the death streaks.
This is the defacto multiplayer game and sets a new standard IMO.

Hey, has anyone had problems with the multiplayer crashing? I can do camp. and spec ops just fine, but my multiplayer refuses to play more than one game without crashing.

Hmm, that does make logical sense. I'll have to play through again and watch carefully for more foreshadowing there.
I will admit that I was suprised at the end of the estate stage, and then I was like, no way, Sheppards a dick! I liked Roach!
The idea of killing off the protagonist worked well in MW1, but with Allen dying (for sake of starting the war) followed by Roach and other Team 141 members, I'm hoping this doesn't become a 24 like plot device that IW will continue to use. I can see it now, they'll kill off Soap in MW3!.

Also, not related, but loved the fact that Aaron from 24 (and the general in both transformers movies) voiced Overlord. He so fits in.

Yeah, it's great. Fucking chaotic as hell, and the closest thing the game has to an arena-type map. Definitely not for people who obsess about their K/D ratio, though!TacticalFox88 said:

See, now this guy knows whats up. Those maps are all terrible in my opinion, for different reasons. Quarry is absurdly vertical, Favela all throughout the middle of the map is insane, nothing but narrow corridors with a hundred rooms and rooftops to tear you apart from. Wasteland is a barren pile of shit where you either rush the trenches and get destroyed or get picked off moving through the open. Smoke grenades and cold-blooded only get you so far.(assuming you are playing with people who dont listen to directions, like "follow me I have a shield, we'll clear out the trench" or "switch to rockets when you die and take out that AC-130") Estate is a shitshow all around the house. I love playing the fight around the boat cabin and the bottom of the hill though.
On the other hand, I love Afghan and Derail, which seem to be pretty much unanimously hated among my friends list. They are open enough that you can have some solid ranged combat, but at the same time theres enough variation in the landscape that you can approach out of sight if you're willing to go around the outskirts of the maps.

All right - a weekend of multiplayer under my belt. So good!
Ground War has become my favorite playlist by far, with HQ Pro a close second. Enough chaos to where the super-powerful killstreaks don't show up too much, but they're definitely attainable with enough skill.
Only seen one nuke so far, and it was on my team, so who cares? :lol
I love the AA-12. So much. And I love the heartbeat sensor too. It's so good, I'm thinking about taking the plunge and sacrificing the UAV streak for something higher (currently I go 3-UAV, 5-Predator, 7-Chopper).
The Sentry Gun is just too much of a pain! I hate dealing with care packages and sentry guns; the drops take you out of the action and make you spend time dealing with them instead of the flag/HQ. I'd much rather just take a quick predator missile than the sentry gun.
And Bling? Awesome

Does anyone else find it weird that Sentry Gun is the only Killstreak Award where you have to call in a drop, pick it up, and then use it (besides supply drops, obviously)? It seems odd and a little unfair that your Sentry Gun crate can be stolen from you, while there is no way to lose your Predator Missile or other airborne Killstreak award. I guess the argument could be made that Sentry Gun has the possibility of doing more damage the other 5-kill award, but it still seems to unbalance it.

In the SP campaign, I liked the bit
. It only lasts for half a minute or so, but quite a bit of work for something that was only shown for that short of a while.

I agree. I unlocked Sentry Gun first thing because I thought it sounded exactly like my play style, until I realized that I had to mark a spot to have it dropped, then go pick it up. It's too much of a pain. I'd much rather quickly drop the predator missile, which pretty much guarantees 1-2 kills, and move on.
I really need to get some gaf parties going. Game is fine till you are partied with a punch of idiots that don't get to the objectives.
When I'm on a team with a party we roll and I'm usually 1 2 or 3. Then when with a Bunch of idiots that snipe and camp on a domination on Afgab all we see are double harriers and a pave low constantly.
Ps the only complaint I have with the killstreaks are when they can have multiple things in the air at once as long as they are different. That is BS. Can't carry enough rockets.

Or have made it make logical sense.
How would a nuke create a pressure wave that would destroy the ISS in the vacuum of space? You kind of need atmosphere to create a pressure wave. It would've been more interesting if the EMP had somehow left the astronauts in dire straights.
It was cool, but also one of the many things I had to not think too hard about to enjoy.

It would have been nice if IW put civilian NPC's in maps for Hardcore games. Make it similar to America's Army where if you kill a civilian it counts against you.
Throw a random nade into a building at the beginning of a match? -300 for you.
A lot of the maps have buildings you can go in so just put them in there so they wont get killed by helis/air strikes/etc

You like me, you really really like me!
I kinda wish there was a hostage rescue mode actually, like Counter-Strike.
Maybe for MW3?

Give those players a fucking medal or something.. a badge of honor.dagZ said:its a reward....I think that if you are good enough for 25 kills in a row, you should be rewarded.
I got 1 btw.
Now it's like "oh, too bad, a guy camped a lot and got lucky no-one shot down his air-support so now the game is over. FUN TIMES!".
I'd be okay with it if the requirement was 35-40 kills in a row. But 25 is too low. I've only played a few hours and have 17 as my best. As a noob and pretty much just rushing into combat. Game-enders just aren't fun. I can't really see how it's fun even if you're the guy using the nuke? Your reward is that the game is over? I can quit out of the game and achieve the same effect, the only difference being an insignificant number on some leaderboard.

in it's current state with self-controlled kill streaks affecting your streak, it should be much higher. A chopper gunner pretty much wrecks the entire team and is more then enough to get you up 15 kills

Wasteland is not a bad map, and it's a remake of an original CoD map. I wish they'd do more remakes because the maps from CoD and CoD UO are some of the best maps ever. I'd love to get some Dawnville action.
Of course some of these maps may be best suited for S&D.
The original map for Wasteland was called Brecourt.
Here's an aerial map of Brecourt (Wasteland):

I agree, but just for the short amount of time it was on screen the
ISS Station (I think it was) and the impact FX
The following sequence was also probably the best looking section of the game IMO. On the other hand, when you are
defending the information being uploaded and waves of enemies just kept coming
I have to admit the graphics and immersion were a step up from MW1 which I didn't expect. Still don't think it was worth the $60 but I guess for everyone playing MP I can see that it is. I'd love to play MP with a group of close friends, I just don't enjoy the whole online mentality of a lot of people playing it. Just don't get anything out of it.
