Haven't seen this mentioned, but regarding the ending:
How was Soap able to crawl on his stomach toward the pistol when there was a knife sticking out of his chest? :lol

Oh man, that tac knife build is so dirty. Theres times where I can run straight at people and strafe a little, and going so quick they cant react and I knife them with a 20 foot gap between us at the start. Or burning through their spawn slashign left and right, racking up 5 kills then pred missiling 2 , call a harrier, knife another, call an AC130, nuke em from orbit for 30-45 seconds, then immediately go back to knifing because you know where they all are....my god, when this build works, it WORKS. Admittedly, it can go pretty bad if they figure out your schtick and start camping the corners with piles of claymores around them (had 4 guys hole up in highrise with claymores on the door. I tossed a stun grenade in, got them all with it, the claymores fucked up and I sprinted in and cut down two before the blindfire from the other two mowed me down), but generally speaking it does wonders.
Unfortunately, all my friends saw my ridiculous scores and decided to join in on the fun, so now there was 4 of us doing it. The strategy doesnt work nearly as well when the enemy doesnt have people shooting at them to take their minds off me. We still had a few really good runs though, like our wasteland run mentioned above, and we still tended to win 80% of the games.
In conclusion, melee build is stupidly awesome. My leveling slowed to a crawl because I stopped working on guns for the entire afternoon and just knifed people for 4 hours straight.

Make sure you level up a pistol too(I recommend USP or M9 since they can get a silencer. Makes killing people much easier). The tactical knife attachment makes your melee attack go off much quicker which helps when you only have a few seconds to get the kill before you get gunned down.

So uh, wow, took the game online for the first time ever. As a background, I've completed CoD2 and MW2 on Veteran, and got to the last few stages in CoD3 and MW. Never played multiplayer before in CoD, only Halo.
I can conclusively say that completing the game on Veteran will help 0% in multiplayer. The game is crazy fast paced and the bullets kill instantly. I got ranked against Level 35 players mainly, myself being L1. In my first 5 games I went from 1/5 KD ratio to between 1/2 and 2/3 ratio.
I take it that the game requires quite a bit of practice - memorizing maps, learning the flow of multiplayer and all that.
One thing I wonder - do people use auto-aim in MP? Discovering auto-aim in MW2 Veteran was a revelation for me, but the mechanic seems way too slow for MP.

That and unlocking stuff. The 35 lvls already have a ton of neat stuff unlocked so that helps them even more.

I'm shocked at what a mess the entire campaign is, really. The story is horrible and doesn't make sense. Then game play... oh boy. I don't know why these guys don't know how to make a single player campaign anymore. It's the same old MW1 bullshit: hey, let's throw 15,000 guys at the player and call it a day! The mission where you're going through Brazil for the first or second time (I forget... where you have to chase after the dude) is just amazingly awful. Really. It's just nonsensical. I was shaking my head trying to figure out how anyone could find it fun.
The multiplayer is near perfection tho. Maps are incredible.

If I go through all the work of getting up to melee range when you have an assault rifle/SMG/LMG/sniper/claymore traps, I bloody well deserve that kill, thank you very much. If you can 1 shot me with a sniper rifle from 300 feet away, or with a FAMAS burst at 75 feet, my knife at 1 foot should get the edge. Just sayin'.
Eric WK said:
Why didnt I think of that?! Of course, if everything took twice as many shots/melees to kill, things would be so much more fun because we would live longer!
Nope, thank god they got rid of juggernaut. That perk basically was a nerf to every weapon in the game, and good riddance. Made stopping power virtually essential, now we get to fool around with all the other cool perks instead. Painkiller I can accept because the poor bastard is already getting murdered over and over, at least he can maybe get one kill this time around.(And yes, I know you were being facetious. Humour me)

I really hope there's an OST for Modern Warfare 2. I absolutely love the music.

FUCKING FMJ CHALLENGES. Whoever came up with this shit should be publicly ridiculed. It should either be 40 kills with penetration or like 15 goddamn kills with FMJ pene. I'm sick of having to use this shit. People must think I'm insane when they see killcams where I position myself behind a wall before finishing them.

Hell yeah it is!!! Just wait until you're confident enough/know the maps well enough to play without firing a single shot all round. It makes you feel like such a badass.
(although I do still use throwing knives for a little bit of range. I'm terrible with them though)

No way, ACOG sniper is actually halfway decent. With pro slight of hand and you can get the drop on pretty much anyone.Fyrus said:I think ACOG sniper challenges are worse than FMJ penetration challenges. I want thermal

Agreed, an acog on a barrett or wa2000 is awesome. You put it with stopping power, scavenger(with claymores...yep, I'm a dirty bastard like that) and some green perk (I like ninja to avoid heartbeats, since I dont need steady aim/iron lungs for an acog) and it wrecks shit. 1 shot kills at anything close to medium range, sometimes even at long.
And seriously (this is a dick move, so I apologize in advance) set up a claymore at a doorway so they cant react to it when they come through. Then loot their corpse and put another one right there. You can totally control an entrance to your "snipe position" (ie. camping spot) and the fact that different guys will try to use that entrance (and the fact that people dont communicate things like "that jerk keeps putting claymores in that door, toss a stun grenade through first to disable them) means you'll keep fooling them and rack up the kills.
An example position in the map above, put a claymore right at the entrance to the plane from the bottom elbow. Put another one at the back of the plane covering the ladder, and then chill with a sniper in either the nose or the side windows by the slide. You can control middle hallway, the top of the building, the gift shop, the tarmac, and the lower gardens, while your claymores cover your back. If you hear them click but not go off(b/c of scrambler pro), or not kill anyone, switch to your pistol and take cover behind the seats (if you're at side windows) or turn around(if you're at the nose) and gun them down. Then loot their corpse and replace the claymore they refused to step on, the inconsiderate jerks.

Just hope they watch WW2 in HD, not freaking Hollywood movies for inspiration for their next game.RSTEIN said:
I rented this game today to play through the single player(I'd have bought it for PC but...yeah). Anyway, the SP is pretty...shit. It's just a mish mash of "ZOMFG WTF" missions or at least they try and make it like that. It reminds me of 24 how it started off realistically then started getting more and more crazy. By season 6 it was nukes going off, Bauer vs Bauer and all this crazy crap. This has gone down that same path where rather than making a gripping story its just "How can we beat that nuke scene in MW1? OH LETS SHOOTS UP AN AIRPORT LOL"
What's going to be in MW3? World War 3?
And I have to say no offense to Americans but fucking hell this game is overly patriotic it seems. Especially some of those quotes when you die. It's like the game was made by a bunch of Marines.
Overall it just doesn't have that same fun feel to it. Everything's overly hectic and just too over the top.

YES! YES! Spread the word! Let GAF bring the knives of pain down upon their heads one game at a time! Abuse that shit for everything it's worth!
But no, seriously. It's ridiculously fun to just play with knives only. The fact that it can work (and sometimes spectacularly!) is just icing on the cake. Everybody should definitely try this build once they are familiar with the maps/know where the enemies tend to be and how best to stay out of their direct line of sight. The ability to dart in, shank one and then book it around a building or through a doorway or over the wall into the treeline just makes you feel like such a badass.
Started on the MP last night and am having a blast. Was a bit rusty since I've not played any FPS's since KZ2, but caught up to speed fairly fast.
Only gripe I have is the matchmaking just doesn't work or must not be there.
I was level 4 in a game where there was no one under the level of 32, with a majority being in the 40s, and a couple of 50s. I don't mind so much about KDR as I'm having fun with TDM and Domination, but I just would like to play with some people around the same level as I've only played a few of these maps a few times and haven't gotten used to it.
Love the throwing knife too by the way, there is just this huge satisfaction of chucking it, and dropping someone. The way the point stuff booms onto the screen helps too. It's like boom, knife kill, boom, head shot, boom payback, boom buzzkill, followed by the da da daah of the level up that is just so awesome.
Anyways, I'm a PS3 Jgaffer so if anyones up to play or do specops on JST (usually 10PM~12PM) just send me an invite: CloudV

What the fucking hell am I supposed to do here? I'm stuck on
[edit] I somehow made it by staying back for a bit after killing some guys and running on the right side. Just barely made it.
the last part of the mission where you are running down to the extraction point from Makarov's safehouse. I'm playing on Veteran and my checkpoint I keep getting shot up and I die. I've been trying to get around for at least 15 min now. This is fucking pissing me off.

Seriously there were times where I managed to get behind a group of 3 and just slaughter them. It was almost as though they were running away from me trying to outrun me. It was ridiculous. I was telling my buds "1st knife kill, 2nd, 3rd.....4th....FIFTH!! PREDATOR" and it just kept on going and they're laughing their asses off. The little message queue is filling up with Lionheart1827 (knife) XXXXXX constantly. :lol

Yep, that sounds about analogous to my experience. They dont even pay attention to you since you're not shooting, they instead focus on where the gunshots from the rest of your team are coming from. And if you can hit that first 5 kills (or at least for me, I use [5
red]/[7:harrier]/[11:ac130]) then you can just steam roll one streak into the next into the next into 18 kills with one good run. Get one or two of those per game and even if you die 6 times before getting a kill, you still come out ridiculously far ahead of the game. The other streak set I use is [3:UAV]/[4:Counter-UAV]/[5
redator]. This one is much more achievable than the other, sicne the UAV feeds you the position and the soon followed counter wrecks any chance they have of using their UAVs to keep tabs on you. I tend to get more knife kills but less overall kills with this build, but sticking people with your blade is infinitely more satisfying than watching the harrier do its thing or using the AC130 from a mile up. It's just more visceral.And yeah, nothing beats getting a triple or quad knife kill and seeing the bottom of the screen with your name over and over. The internet rage in the postgame lobby is fun too.
