who thought it would be a good idea to splatter your screen with blood all the time? This is almost as bad as the PD slap effect.
Fuck IW so many things wrong with single player.

While it may be easy, it's annoying. Especially when people can come and go as they please.DevelopmentArrested said:
I played a match on Karaki earlier in which the opposing team was able to set up turrets on some of the rooftops...
...I don't think I need to say anything more than that. Needless to say, it wasn't fun.

Today it was the first time ever I played online multiplayer since I got MW2. The game is fun, I dig all the new levels, perks and killstreak additions. Matchmaking was uber fast for me and lag was generally non-existent.
I got one question for the Special Ops though. Do I have to invite a friend in order to play the two-player coop mode? Isn't there some sort of matchmaking?

No spec ops matchmaking, no. Don't know if its invite only (I'm assuming it is), or if a friend can just jump into a Spec Ops lobby.

Honestly, what's the problem with ridiculous trash talking? Are you less intelligent having heard it or something? It's hilarious how aggressive people get. Every now and then someone will have a really good burn, too.
As for music-blaring punks and 12-year-old screamers, I only encounter them in like 1 out of 25 games and give them a quick mute.
yes we can

Ever since I downloaded 1.04 patch I can no longer join friends invites :lol . I don't see how they keep messing this up. I am sure by Wednesday there will be a 1.05 patch PS3.

It depends how it is handled. Before I got the map packs for COD4 I never got booted out of a lobby. When I did get them, they showed up all the time and it ended up being well worth the money.
World at War kicked you out of the lobby and brought up the Xbox Live market window to buy the map pack you were missing. If this is done again it could annoy a lot of people. Different developers of course but it could be a blanket policy at this point to nag people at every turn about maps they do not own.
However, that was still far better than being locked out of entire playlists from Halo 3 because you didn't want a particular map pack. I stopped playing that shit as soon as Avalanche stopped showing up in playlists after they got rid of "DLC Objective" some time last year.

Sexy explosions? :lol
There's no way Activision/IW will be releasing map packs for free. Not after W@W's numbers. We can only dream... Thankfully they've included 16 in the game already.
The only grand omission (feature wise) from MW2 is the lack of saved replays and online stat page. Even W@W had online stats pages.

Just had another good moment, this time on Quarry. I was shooting it out against this sniper fella, and before he killed me, I managed to light one fuel tank behind him on fire (there were several, at least five of theme). He doesn't realize it, so he stays in the same spot. I spawn, and a mere few seconds later I here something explode and the little damage indicator thing appear over my cross hairs. Almost immediately after that I hear another fuel tank go off, and I see a "+100" appear on my screen. Nice.

Yeah, IW did it right. Treyarch and Bungie did it wrong.
Holy shit. So today just decided to play some f4a (wasn't a big fan in Cod4) Load out as follows
Vector (with sight) and .44 Magnum
Scavenger
Lightweight
Commando
Throwing knife and stun
Basically a tazmanian devil running through the level throwing knives and slashing everywhere. Took a bit to get the throwing down but damn is it satisfying. Raced through the F4A challenges easily racking up the 20 or so top 3 finishes with a bunch of wins. My emblem is now Ninja haha.
I feel like in this game Stopping Power isn't "required" like in 4. I never played softcore mode because I felt like everyone was a bullet sponge. Now though you definitely die and kill much faster. but at the same time I don't feel like SP is used by everyone. Maybe because the other perks now in the teir are useful as well though.

Just put the ACOG on the SCAR to get the next unlock. Holy crap - that gun kicks like a mofo. ACOG and thermal are useless on that sucker.
Oh well. Just unlocked the FAL. Me like! It reminds me of my favorite weapon in W@W; the Gewehr. I feel gimped without my heartbeat sensor and sight though...but that'll come soon enough.

I don't think I'm going to prestige this time either. I prestiged once in MW1 and it really wasn't worth it.
You get 5 custom slots + titles + emblems + and all of the killstreaks unlocked.
And it doesn't help that I don't get my m21 until level 56. Meh.

Also I noticed that about a year into MW1 if a team was up against a bunch of gold crosses that there would be a large number of quiters. lol

So 10 prestiges = 15 custom slots, correct?
something i just noticed, probably another one of the massive yet funny plot holes in the game
so makarov is an internationally know terrorist right? in one of the loading screens we see his face on newspapers and magazines and what not, right? so the security cameras in the airport no doubt caught some pretty clear shots of his face, right? can you see where i'm going with this one? IF IT WAS AN AMERICAN LED ATTACK WHAT THE FUCK IS MAKAROV DOING THERE?

I'm pretty upset with how the ACOG is in this game. I used it heavily with the M4 in COD4 but in MW2 I feel the only upgrade is the cross hairs with the dot in the center, besides that it's worse IMO. I preferred looking through the scope, having the scope the way it is now makes it a bit harder to keep track of your opponents if they're side stepping. Plus as you said, it somehow makes shooting from further away even harder. What's the point of the ACOG if if actually increases the difficulty of long range shooting?
Basically I really missed the old ACOG. Besides getting rid of the arrow for the cross hairs/dot, I with they would have left the ACOG alone.
Raxus said:
The problems I'm having with latency aren't even related to dedicated servers. It's because the game won't let me filter matchmaking to games in my region. I don't understand why Infinity Ward has left this out, when Treyarch figured out how beneficial it was to people who don't live in North America or Europe.

Not to sound like a complete multiplayer newb, but are you invisible to radar only when standing still, or can you crouch and move and still go unseen?
dustin said:
Haha, yeah. The basis for the plot is formed on one giant plothole, basically.
It's actually pretty fucking retarded:
Considering that russians and americans are very similar in looks, no one could really identify the guy you were playing as as an american unless through some form of ID...which he obviously would not have on him when he was with the russian terrorists. The other way is for america to confess that it was their guy, which would also be retarded. So basically, either the US is completely fucking retarded and left the guy's ID on him, or the US is completely fucking retarded and they confessed. Logically, they'd just chalk him up to being some random guy, because they don't ID people in russia like they do here. It's like...wtf? This was the big controversial scene that does set up for the war, but it sets it up in a way that makes no sense.
Of course you get the twists later on(Shepherd), and they don't really touch on Makarov much at that point. You never get a motivation for why they're doing this, or again how the fuck they made Shepherd into that high of a rank if he wasn't really loyal.

How do they get such massive plotholes in such a flimsily told story? That's the general rule of thumb--the less you say, the less a chance of a contradiction, but IW sure proved that wrong. :lol

1 USP45 with tactical knife attachment: 100 pistol kills
1 Marathon Pro: Sprinted 26 miles
1 Lightweight Pro: Sprinted 30 miles
1 Commando Pro: 100(150?) knife kills
The expressions of rage in the postgame lobby when the enemy team realizes you and your three friends in [KNYF] just wrecked their shit 75-39 on Wasteland using only melee's (and the occasional predator missile/1 pavelow): Priceless
There are some things money cant buy. For everything else, theres *knife*....*gurgle*

Yeah, strangely this has been my most effective build. I think I had an 11 kill streak with it yesterday - I never am able to kill anyone with the pistol though, just melee.Pyke Presco said:
