FUck man that thing is so damn powerful its insane!

and it lasts for what seems like forever
i was good when i got my nuke but staying even longer to get a 31 kill streak was ridiculous :lol

 

[KolosLazar16]

Why the FUCK is the heartbeat on the FAMAS so stupid.

 

[jiien]

Pretty much no recoil with ACR so it has a huge range advantage. If you see a sniper on the other side of the map you can just put your sights on them and pull the trigger, no need to adjust for recoil...yeah the ammo is a bummer. I have tried all 3, I am doing best with ACR.

Well, I find that the SCAR has little to no recoil as well...but I guess it's all about the feel of the weapon.

I like using the ACR, but from the way people were talking about it so far in this thread, I thought it would be godly. : (

I actually specifically went back to SP just to mess around with any ACR I could pick up, and I loved the way it felt with sights. But I like playing MP without sights (I don't like to use Bling, and would rather use a silencer or extended mags), so boo.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

How the fuck do i beat the end of "For the record"? No matter what the fuck i do, i get mortared. I tired 15 times and just gave up. What obvious thing am i not doing?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

That's great and all, but you'll still show up on a heart beat sensor with Cold Blooded on. Ninja is the perk that makes you invisible to those sensors.

We all roll with Cold Blooded Pro and Ninja Pro. I got the two confused. We just switch out our blue perk. Also we all have Stingers equipped. While shooting down 3 Harriers, 2 Choppers and 1 AC130 tonight I was thinking how much I just love this game.

 

[rush777]

Anybody have some tips on leveling my handgun? I suck with it but I really want the tactical knife, I guess all I can do is keep using it.

 

[Johnlenham]

The riot shield is by far the most amusing weapon in this game. Just played a whole game running around with it, and it was one of the most entertaining games I've played. You know you have succeeded in pissing other people off when they start using the riot shield as well :lol

Yeeesss a convert :lol Riot Shield is awesome! Put on throwing knifes so when they turn and run you can knife them in the back haha

Got my Scar mastery last night, fuck that stupid 40kills through walls.

A guy on another forum says he shot through the riot shield with a USP with FMJ. He also says if you shoot it long enough it will break.
It was my understanding that it was as indestructible as the Hulks pants.

Light machine guns like the RPD seem to peirce it (no idea if the guy that kept doing me over has FMJ on though) and ive yet to live long enough to see it break but it does become so smashed you cant see shit

Yeah, that's the only thing holding me up from ANY of the assault rifle mastery challenges now. That damn FMJ challenge is total shit.

 

[devilchicken]

Yeah, that's the only thing holding me up from ANY of the assault rifle mastery challenges now. That damn FMJ challenge is total shit.

Easiest way for me was to use bling and put FMJ and red dot sight on. Took a little effort but i found it way easier than just using ironsights all the time.

Yeah, but just compared to everything else though, it's kind of annoying. 20 kills with a grenade launcher is pretty damn easy compared to shooting 40 people through a wall.

Not a total loss though aside from the XP, considering I don't really feel the urge to have extended magazine used for any of my assault rifle classes.

Who the hell said IW was going to charge for it? Or even bother finishing the code? I love how the PC gamers keep trying to find ways to make the game seem evil again. For all they know those were modes that were nearly finished or whatever, and IW just thought they weren't fun and scrapped them from match making. There's no file they found in the PC version that has the words "WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THIS STUFF HIDDEN HERE AT A LATER DATE, BUT KEEP THAT ON THE DOWN LOW" written on it...

You don't. Whatever fire mode a gun has by default is the one you're stuck with.

Have you guys seen the MW2 PS3 section at IW forums ? They are full of aussies and kiwis going mad flaming and demanding that Infinity Wards implements region lock for online play :lol , it doesn't look like anyone from IW is trying to clean up the forums or appease the anger.

It seems the PS3 game has a preference of putting americans as hosts, so if a yank joins a game full of aussies he becomes hosts which results in everybody else suffering major lag

Based on what? Tons of games have unfinished stuff in them that devs never bothered to get cleaned off the disc (hot coffee). If paid DLC comes out and this stuff is included, then yeah, that's a shit move, but it's also just as likely that those modes will never be finished and IW doesn't care about them.

Shit, for all that person, or anyone not working at IW knows, those modes will only appear twice a year on holidays and give out shit tons of experience. I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying that assuming it is right now is kind of jumping the gun.

Yeah, if this stuff does turn out to be paid DLC when it comes out, make no mistake, I'll be right there screaming for IW's blood like everyone else.

You would probably go nuts too, if 9/10 games were 1 bar lag fests, when WaW had a functioning region filter.

look I see your point, but I'm not emphasizing the paid DLC already in the game. I'm pointing out that hackers are ripping this game apart.




I also misread the video.




There's not one game mode. There are three new gamemodes inside.

gtnw - Global Thermonuclear War
1F CTF - 1 flag Capture the Flag
VIP - escort/kill the VIP

No, but it is absolutely the most dirty, underhanded, piece of shit move a publisher can make these days. I don't tend to make much a fuss over DLC as at least that actually is something you're downloading, but locking content that you ALREADY have on your disc (like extra costumes in Street Fighter) is a fucking disgusting move on a publishers part.

 

[minx]

Not sure why the ACR gets so much love. Maybe I'm just not feeling it, but it's MUCH weaker than the SCAR. I find I kill a lot faster with the SCAR, where I'm pouring bullets with the ACR. I know the ACR is supposed to be weaker than the SCAR but have a higher fire rate, but it just feels too weak. Anyone that uses it, how do you use it?

Ultimately, the M4, SCAR, and ACR all play pretty much exactly the same, but I'm interesting in knowing why people vastly prefer the ACR over everything else. Like the other two, it also seems plagued by a lack of ammo.

Edit: Actually, M4 is okay with ammo, but SCAR and ACR both burn through ammo.

I feel the same way. I got the 1000 kills with both the M4 and the SCAR and now am on the ACR. The scar just dropped people so fast. Sure you have to run scavenger with it, but I loved that weapon. ACR just takes too long to kill people. SCAR>ACR>M4

I also tried out the Marathon/Lightweight/Commando knife setup. HOLY SHIT! My first match I went 36-26 and had to most killed on my team. My second match I got a 10 kill knife streak! :lol :lol However, the following games I didn't far too well, guess it depends on the map and who you are playing.

 

[KAOz]

Anyone on PSN playing Spec-ops?

I need some massive help with getting three stars on Estate, Big Brother, Wardriving and Snatch and Grab. Which are also the very last stars I need. >_>

Anyone who is super-kickass at them, know the levels and tricks inside out, want to help me out? <_<

that explains a lot. being in central europe, 90% of the time there is awful lag. it's not unplayable, but if you encounter an enemy upfront your basically already dead -.-
kinda frustrating...

Since they are different in structure than other available MP modes, maybe they're just waiting to be unocked when equivalent playlist is introduced.

Whishful thinking ofcourse, but if hack is true I can already see that Nuclear War will become the Akimbo-Fistrape-Rocketfuck-Martyrdomfest-Slaugtherhouse.

Have no idea how can such mode could be manageble in 6vs6 games, especialy on maps like Favela.

It could last for 60 minutes and I guess nobody would win.

VIP Escort sounds like a great mode for MW2 mechanics and maps though.

I just finished playing with a kill that I really wish I could have saved in some way or another. Jumped off a building, and then knifed a guy right before I landed and died (forgot the class I was using didn't have commando).

Then again, there's a lot that I wish existed on the community side for this game. Infinity Ward really needs to take some time researching what Bungie does with their games.

Not just the PS3 version. It happens to me on the Xbox 360 as well.

Discovered how ridiculous snipers with thermal scopes are on Wasteland today. I picked up a Barrett with a silencer and thermal scope when I was 2-0, and ended up finishing the game on 23-0.

Anyone having issues with 1.04 for PS3? Buddy at work said his PS3 will not go past 7% on the DL of it, and now he's having PSN connectivity issues....I didn't DL it yet, So I dont know.

Did see some reports of it freezing via a googling.

Wasteland rawks. Nothing better than sneaking though the grass and outskirts, taking out unsuspecting snipers who think they can't be seen.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I love hearing this since my entire team of friends all have Cold Blooded Pro on constantly. The more people that depend on this to play the better for me to knife them in the back when they aren't paying attention to their surroundings. Keep staring at your gun Mr. Heartbeat man.

The trick the HBS is simple: don't stare at it!

Train yourself to listen for the beep. Then quickly glance down. Don't rely on it; just use it to complement your game.

[RSTEIN]

I love Wasteland. As was said above, it's really awesome to float around in the tall grass. I feel like a raptor :lol

MW2 forces you to change your game up much more than MW1. In every MW1 map I would dominate with just the M14, stopping power, and juggernaut. Even the small maps.

In MW2 it is essential to create different load outs for the different maps. Maps like Scrapyard, Skid Row and Sub Base I'm going commando style. Rapid fire ninja shit. Then I'll switch over to a mid range build with SCAR/stopping power for Estate. Rather than fight the maps I'm really trying to embrace them and go with the flow. One stops hating certain maps when one stops trying to force an incorrect strategy upon them.

Agreed with that. Also, this feels more like there's a lot of very different ways to play. You could be the hulking power in this, or you could go ninja-like and both be successful. Seems a lot of times like I'm trying to counter other people's perks with my own to figure out what works better.

Also, a lot less grenade kills in this game, it feels like they reduced the distance you can throw a grenade quite a bit, also it seems like people have less grenades. Also, less last stand and martyrdom idiots.

This man speaks the truth, and anyone who disagrees with him is an idiot. No joust.

IW has said on multiple occasions that they have the ability to switch up MP game modes on the fly. Blindly assuming that they're going to charge for access to new playlists is far too cynical. I know you're still butthurt about not getting dedicated servers on PC, but wait until you know what you're talking about here before you start spewing ignorant hate.
