How so? Do they not show what the other person is looking at?Sielys said:Well they are one hit kills most of the time with stopping powers. Also killcams are notoriously bad at conveying how you really died.
Its a simple matter of the game being a little forgiving as far as hit detection goes. Ive had more than a few kills where I know for a fact that I didnt even hit the guy.Chumly said:How so? Do they not show what the other person is looking at?
Yea its a really frustrating way to die though..GqueB. said:Its a simple matter of the game being a little forgiving as far as hit detection goes. Ive had more than a few kills where I know for a fact that I didnt even hit the guy.

NullPointer said:Heh. That too.
Some people seem far too concerned with their K/D ratios and pull this kind of wankery at the expense of the team and a good game.
Here are some tips:
* Stay Alive. No, seriously. Its a mindset switch I'm talking about here, not some magical pixie dust of indestructibility. Put more of your focus on staying alive and less on getting the kills. In a team deathmatch game it doesn't matter how many kills you get if you've died getting them all. Move between covered/concealed positions and don't just pull the trigger because you can. A good rule of thumb when fighting defensively is: don't open fire unless you can handle the counter-attack. Seek small advantages and fire when you have the upper hand. Of course this game is filled with tons of ways to die randomly, but if your mind is bent upon survival your game will improve overall.
* Get those kills. In a team deathmatch game your best bet for kills is to stick with other players. Not too close mind you, because you don't want to have your entire squad taken out by a tube, grenade or airstrike. Give each player enough distance so that you can maintain multiple fields of overlapping fire. Don't rush forward. Take a steady pace and cover angles that your squadmates aren't. The idea here is to get into skirmishes where you outnumber the enemy. At best your overwhelming firepower destroys the opposition, and at worst you can get the counter-kill on enemies that have taken your buddies down, effectively removing their kill streak. No kill streak means fewer Harriers -> Chopper Gunners -> Nukes.
* Don't run out in the fucking open. Just don't. Unless you've got some strategy that involves being bait, or if you want to give the enemy a false sense of superiority. if you feel you MUST do this, invest in smoke grenades or at least cause a distraction first.
* In objective games, learn to defend the objective. This isn't the same thing as camping, and you don't really want to be right on top of the objective for the best results. Give yourself a little distance from the defensive point, but that allows for line of sight over what you're guarding. Then hold the perimeter. Sticking in one spot for an extended period of time won't help much though - you have to keep moving. With this in mind its fully possible for just one player to hold a contested point. In a Domination match you should be either guarding a held point, establishing a perimeter around a point, or assaulting a point.

I currently roll with this:
This is a really good point. To put it simply, people are stupid and irrational when it comes to camping and fighting campers. Ive been killed by someone that I could tell was camping and I just go back to the same spot and the idiot is still there.NullPointer said:* In objective games, learn to defend the objective.

You know that there is more than one person with that tag playing on PS3, right?rodvik said:Wait do you play HC on PS3? I swear some guy with that tag chased me around quarry last night , I was back pedaling the whole way, I emptied a clip and two nade launhcer tubes at him (too close to explode) before he pummeled the life out of me. :lol :lol
divisionbyzorro said:Snipers: That's really up to your playstyle. I don't really like sniping and I've never taken the time to learn how to do it effectively. There are some who are really good with it though...

That's 185 hours of MW2 multi since release. Good lord. Look what you've done IW :-(

divisionbyzorro said:Nope, sorry. Either Ground War or Domination on XBox 360, with a little Demolition thrown in there as well.
I'd play Mosh Pit exclusively if they removed Sabotage though. Seriously - Sabotage is the most infuriating mode ever.
Silly Junior, this is the internet. People can just Google the requirements up, and even if they don't, it doesn't take much effort to figure out you get the Price emblem by getting a ten killstreak without having any killstreaks equipped.Ice Monkey said:you guys talking about emblems, best one is clearly the mario captain price on looks alone, plus the effort and preparation necessary to achieve it, plus how nobody in the game will just happen to come across it unless they know beforehand how to get it. The game even discourages you from setting your profile correctly for getting it!
Not telling how to get it for the sole purpose of seeing if/how many people know about it.
That is some bullshit, plain and simple. Hopefully they patch it and remove the ridiculous speed bonus you get with the care package.whitehawk said:I prefer the running class.
Marathon + Lightweight + Commando + Care package.
Run fast as hell and I've gotten a 11kill streak before just by knifing people.

That happens to everyone. For me, it just depends on who I'm playing. If the other team is filled with bad players, I do awesome, but when there are some real pros on the other team, then it's hard to rack up the kills.Ken K in the Fresh!!! said:Sorry to say but this game doesn't require a lot of skill. I'd say 50% skill, 25% quick reflexes, 25% dumb luck.
Last night was a "bipolar" experience for me. After a week hiatus I was going 25-3 regularly, launching a chop gunner every other match. I was doing so well I was killing fools by shooting grenades close range into their chests. After feeling good about myself I took a couple hr break, drank a beer and then saw my k/d take a dive. I was going 8-9 for a long stretch and finally decided to call it quits lol. Man this game can make u a stud one min and a dud the next. My heart doesn't deserve this kind of strain. I'm going on a another week long break..

Same challenge as the title.Ramirez said:I have both of those, I know how you get Heads Up, but whats the Emblem for?
buy teh haloz said:Same challenge as the title.
Yes. An extension of this idea is to make your kill and relocate. The best place to relocate is usually the place that gives you a perfect firing line on your previous location. Thats where you can expect somebody to be, hunting you down for revenge, only to get shot in the back, again. One of the most powerful effects of a string of these kinds of kills is demoralization, and how even one unexpected turn can turn an entire enemy team into a confused mess, running this way and that, with no central goal. Easy pickings, in other words..GqueB. said:When I hold up somewhere I always switch positions because people are filled with pride and a desire for vengeance so I know theyre coming back so I change position. I dont run across the whole map I keep it simple. If I killed him while standing near a truck I switch which side of the truck I was standing on. If I killed him while standing on one side of the door I just switch sides. And of course the guy comes in pointing the wrong way.
Meier said:So I've twice now used a javelin and had it just randomly fly up even with a lock on. What gives? Should I use the Stinger instead?
Did you just unlock it? That's how the Javelin works.Meier said:So I've twice now used a javelin and had it just randomly fly up even with a lock on. What gives? Should I use the Stinger instead?
That's how it works. It fires straight up, and descends on the target a few seconds later. Some air support (AC-130, chopper gunner, pave low) need multiple rocket hits to be destroyed, so that's probably what happened in your case.Meier said:So I've twice now used a javelin and had it just randomly fly up even with a lock on.

man, that's the emblem I've been trying to get for the longest time. it's a real challenge for someone who blows so hard at the game, like myself. i've come so close, twice getting nine in a row.Cosmo Clock 21 said:Silly Junior, this is the internet.
