It'd be cool if a teammates' perks displayed on your HUD (in the same place they do on killcams and after you respawn) if you aimed at them or something. I guess that's what mics and communication is for, but you can't possibly be expected to remember that stuff when you and one of the four people with a gamertag containing "sniper" in the match are trying to flank someone, or approach a sentry-guarded area.Yeef said:

Im shocking with dual 1887's :lol I tried it out a few times and im just rubbish as I like to fire both shots at once. Taken them off now as I prefer dual pistols/ tactical knife.
Had a mental match of Hardcore Headquaters on Rust and ended up something like 82-50 managed to get a chopper gunner and must have spawnkilled their entire team 4 times :lol
Did have a javelin glitcher on the other team but his whole tactic was run at you and ofcourse when you shoot him you die so we just shot him from a distance or behind walls etc

Worst killstreak for FFA? Care packages.
Played my first FFA game ever last night on Wasteland. I was working on leveling up pistols, so I ran around with akimbo pistols the whole match (worst possible thing to do on that map). But I did manage to steal two care packages in about a 30 second timespan, each with a harrier. Two harriers floating around Wasteland on FFA absolutely wreck shop.
Unless you plan to use them as bait, don't call in care packages in FFA.

Or rather, go ahead...I'll just take 'em

They make awesome bait though. Best is when it's ammo or counter uav, they don't know so they come running like it's an AC130.
I normally keep care package on constantly. Same with UAV. The last one I jump around to different stuff, but I think UAV and Care Packages are great for the amount of kills needed to get them.

So I was thinking about this last night, specifically in contrast with certain other FPS games this generation and how they've built variety into their gametypes by having the objective switch up every so often. I was trying to figure out how MW2 could implement something like this, and came up with, for lack of a better name, "Epic Skirmish."
6 v 6. The game lasts 7 rounds; first team to 4 round victories wins.
The first round is an abbreviated Team Deathmatch - to 5000 instead of 7500. No ties allowed. If tied after the timer runs out, you play sudden death - next kill wins.
The remaining rounds are randomly chosen from:
a) Abbreviated HQ (first to 90 with a shortened timer)
b) Abbreviated Domination (first to 90 with a shortened timer)
c) Demolition Defense
d) Demolition Assault
e) Abbreviated Sabotage (shortened timer)
f) Abbreviated CTF (shortened timer)
In case of a tie after 7 seven rounds (HQ, Dom, CTF, and Sabotage could theoretically end in a round draw), another round of abbreviated TDM is played.
Nukes win rounds, not games (actually, this may be how they work in Demo, but I've never seen a nuke in Demo before).
I'd play this all the time. Games would last a long time (thus less time waiting in lobbies!) and there would be plenty of variety. It'd be like playing a much more ADD version of Mosh Pit.

Don't think this has been posted yet. Someone got into the file details of the latest patch, finding that the perk 'Lightweight' has been nerfed...
What was originally a 10% speed boost, is now 7% post patch.

While we're on interpreting things, what does the "Bombi" phrase mean? or "Bambi"? I'm not sure.
Also, what does Oscar Mike stand for in the campaign? They say it all the time and I felt pretty dumb for not knowing.

Should be called Modern Campfest 2. I swear to God these people think they are birds. They perch themselves up on a ledge or glitch themselves on to a building and just wreck. MW1 wasn't this bad online. :/ That and those Jav assholes.
=/ I've been having a problem with my MW2 on steam lately where it will freeze after about 2 seconds of trying to do anything from the main page and the only way I've gotten past it is when I open MW2 in safe mode (because I always have to end the task). anyone else having a problem for pc?

They're probably not glitching onto the building. The maps in this game are pretty insane...you can legitimately go places you'd think you shouldn't be able to. Highrise is notorious for this, but plenty of other maps have little hidden stairs or ladders that you won't notice unless you're looking.

This sniper was on top of a building on Highrise. How do you get up there? Or is it a glitch?divisionbyzorro said:

I had the best luck knocking them down in Free for All. Just equip a stinger and destroy everything in the air. If you don't care about win/loss or k/d ratios you'll get to Pro pretty quickly.
Any team or objective oriented games can slow progress on one-track goals. Almost anytime I'm trying to achieve a challenge that isn't team or objective based I seem to have the most luck and fun in FFA.
Yup, your absolutely right. I took a few hours to just explore all of the maps in their entirety and you'll be amazed at how many places you go legitimately without glitching.divisionbyzorro said:
You guys should do it. It made me a better player.
I'll give you one. Did you know that you can go on top of the ledge above the bar in Invasion?

Skip to 45 seconds to see the area I'm talking about.
It's great spot to use your chopper gunner or stealth kill people in Domination at Flag B.

If he was on top of one of the two tall, opposing buildings, yeah, I think that's a glitch. But there are legit ways of getting to many places on that map (there's videos detailing it on YouTube). I love killing people trying to get up to them though; all that work for nothing. :lolthe_zombie_luke said:
Edit: Here's how to do it. Maybe it's not a glitch. I'm not sure if it makes sense that you can climb that thing like a ladder, though.

Well it is climbing scaffolding at least so at least it's not some guy flying up and clipping through. Thanks for the video.vatstep said:

I was thinking that last night. During balancing, no one thought that the dual shotguns were a bad idea? I would even be fine with them only being used in from levels 1-20 or something for noobs to be given a chance, but in the hands of vets, it shifts the balance of the game too far.
I am enjoying the game, but I will be honest I am looking forward to Bad Company 2. I want to see how balanced it turns out.
Can someone MS paint me a fucking picture of how the "crosshairs" for the grenade launcher works. What the shit is that upside down X-mas tree. I've learned the ways via trial and error, but I'm always curious how the real deal works.
Edit: And about the Shotty bitching: 1887's need a range nerf and they'll be fine.

As your target gets further away, you're suppose to use lower crosshairs (thus tilting your gun up and compensating for grenade drop)

IF you guys really want to learn glitches, spots, and other map tips, check out http://www.mapmonkeys.com/
They have a lot of videos detailing how to get to all these nifty spots, though sometimes you are glitching to do it. Most of them, though, just require great timing and precision. I sound like I'm advertising for them, but I swear I'm not. I learned a few spots off of their videos, and figured I'd share the wealth.

I thought that too, but it's free and took 15 seconds of my time. Worth it, IMHO.D4Danger said:
