Dude, I shouldn't be letting the rest of my library gather dust. I haven't raced a car in God knows how long. In fact I haven't done anything but shoot people online for the past 8 weeks.

The other day I was thinking... if I manage 70 levels every month or so, it will take me close to a year to get into my 10th prestige. Why does that seem so important to me??!! :lol

Cold-Blooded Pro also makes you entirely invisible when you're hiding in tall grass or bushes, as your name won't pop up.

You can disappear just by going prone in most areas.

Also kills thermal, which is wonderful on Wasteland. :D

I'm really thinking of going ColdBlooded/Ninja forever. Love me some SitRep and am slightly handicapped without it, but I hate being found by campers or lame players more.

It is, but nobody knows about it and uses it to their advantage anyway, so I don't think it's much of an issue. That rooftop is too dangerous to stick around on.

Reading this thread is dangerous by the way. I hadn't noticed the crap with the spawn system until I started reading the discussions and now it's starting to drive me insane. So boring to have to crouch down and hide immediately after you kill someone, just in case he spawns right in your back. :(

MTD may have just become my fave mode. Not too many players so flanking is actually a reality (in ground war its not really flanking because the other team is never one body, its just running somewhere else) and no parties.

It takes me a while to adjust to anything besides this game, 'cause Merc TDM is so awesome. People tend not to camp systematically, I tend to score well, and most of the time high on the list, plus I don't feel guilty about just turning chat off and playing the game.
Matter of fact, with as many shit-talkers out there as there are, I'm gonna just go back to friends only.

Click to expand...
You can't shoot through certain foliage, but the only place there's really a concentration of those plants is that rooftop in Favela. But it doesn't really matter if a leaf is covering your right arm on that rooftop, as every other part of your body will be exposed anyway. Non-issue even though it's sloppy...

wow sweet, didnt realise cold blooded pro made your name go invisible when hidden. awesome.
Click to expand...
Not just when hidden; you never have a name. Since you hop back and forth between playing US marines and various militia, this is pretty confusing to some players and sometimes with CB Pro on, you can totally hang out with the enemy team for a good 20 seconds before they realize to shoot you. :lol

The 'Chopper Gunner Ammo' glitch is an infection/spread type of glitch.

If you join a lobby who's host has it enabled, you yourself will inherit the glitch.

Then in turn, if you host a new game, you'll spread it to others.

I've always loved Cold Blooded, especially the Pro, and this time around I found out just how cool it is to have Ninja Pro, especially when it comes to clearing out the sniper spots in Overpass and other running work that requires you to make a lot of noise on catwalks or snow.

Btw, I find myself just going off when I'm running that class.
Me: "Damn, I love being a ninja. It's like they just drop me in behind enemy lines and then I fuck shit up. I'm like Snake Eyes, dude." <--- actual DM quote.

Anyway, apparently they did an excellent job of making you decide between Marathon and Bling, 'cause when I have one I ALWAYS miss the other. :D

It's the same problem as the 'infinite ammo' bug.

Hay, weren't they supposed to fix this in the last patch? Hey, that's awesome.

So is the glitch that it makes regular guns fire Apache bullets?

Does that mean that Apache bullets do area-of-effect damage? I thought it just had some auto-aim...this could change the way I use it in certain maps...

Yes, Apache bullets cause small radius AOE damage.

You can usually hit people inside buildings if they stand too close to doorways or windows if you aim properly.

mythbusters did some MW2 stuff or something?

I think the spawn system is awesome.

Someone kills me? I often spawn near enough to hunt him down. If I kill someone, I know he's gonna be out for revenge so I try to lay an ambush or outmanouvre him in some way. Keeps me on my toes, and opens up potential mind games. I've definitely used it to my advantage a few times.

I hate to say it but I saw actual team work in MTD - and in a way thats why my knife/flank tactic was so succesful. They'd usually be together, facing the same way dealing with the rest of my team.

so I could just slip in behind and take a bunch of em, swinging the game my team mates way.

Just got my third nuke today in Wasteland using my Sniper class,

Barret .50 CAL with Heartbeat Sensor and Thermal Sight
Secondary PP2000 with FMJ and Silencer
Bling Pro
Cold Blooded Pro
Ninja Pro

Was 12-0 after my harriers and when I finished with my chopper gunner, I was 24-0. Just as I knifed my 25 kill, somebody killed me. Finish the game 33-2 after my nuke.

Definatelly the first nuke is the hardest one, I got three nukes in 4 days after trying to get the first one forever.

When I ran CB Pro exclusively in my first tour, I got the accolade "most time spent near enemies" almost every time. Enemies will approach you from behind and run past you all the time. Occasionally, they'll turn around, say "what the f?" before I shoot them or they stab me. It's very useful.

Ha ah, yesterday I was able to get the 1 bullet two kills award. That was pretty neat. Seems like that one would be kind of tough to get.

I've tried making a runny knife class, but it seems to me I'm running too slow. I've got marathon, light weight (i think), and commando. What am I doing wrong?

This reminds me: there's some weapons I'm going to wait to use until my last prestige so I don't ever lose their camo. I saw that Barrett in fall camo and realized, I will never work on headshots with that thing until the very end. Obviously same goes for the AK and some others...

Running with something other than a pistol or submachinegun?

Yeah, if you're using anything like a rifle or LMG, you're gonna be the world's slowest ninja.

But yeah, Marathon and Lightweight with Commando is where it's at.

As I'm starting to care less about my score, I'm trying out some new weapons.

After watching a few montages online I've tried my hand at some quick sniping, and it's crazy frustrating, I don't know how those guys do it so consistently. Granted, montages are no proof of that, but I subscribe to a channel on youtube where the guy does. Every once in a while I'll get in a groove with it, but usually I just post even at best.

Also, I tried switching my SMG to the Mini-Uzi from the popular UMP. I wouldn't say that I like it any more than the UMP, but there isn't any downside to it, you just need to watch your ammo consumption. I like it a bit more because it's less popular, so I'll stick with it.

I'm max level again after prestiging once, still haven't got my nuke. Things always seem to go horribly wrong when I get close, I've had people spawn right on top of me or right behind me being 20-24 more than once now.

Personally, I find the most satisfying thing is beating organized teams. The other night I joined a ground war mid-game and was the only pub on TF141's side. I messed around, didn't do too well, they made fun of me post-game. Got put on their team for the second match, turned it up but didn't play aggressively, went 14-2 or something in a TDM. They talked more shit post-game. Finally got on the other team for Domination in sub-base, took out my scavenger-stopping power-M16 class with predator-harrier-chopper gunner. Went 73-4, best score I've posted, we won, boy was that post-game hilarious.

If you use CBP, remember to equip the silencer on your weapons. That way you will be truly invisible.

If you go prone and do the weapon switch repeatedly very quickly with CBP enabled, enemies will run right by you so you can get up and shoot them in the back. I've tried it and it's hilarious. I can only imagine what the killcam looks like.

Been having mental amounts of fun with
Ump45 I think its called + any scope/rapid fire etc
Marathon pro
Lightweight pro
Commando Pro

HardcoreTDm I was getting upwards of 30kills a match with people trailing with 15 or so as the next highest, on Free for all coming 1st-2nd with a similar amount of kills. Just stupidly fun sprinting round stabbing/shoot up groups of folks :lol

Im so impressed by all the people that I see getting massive kills with no type of add-on sight put on the gun. I am absolutely worthless without the red-dot especially when I am lining up a far off shot.

Intervention FMJ, Sleight of Hand Pro, Stopping Power Pro, and something else. He says his sensitivity was "high" which could either mean 4 or something higher.

I, also, play only as a sniper. Play in private games and get used to a higher sensitivity (for the 360s/720s). Do most (if not all) of your aiming with your crosshair. That's all. :D

Do you play on PS3 or Xbox? :)

I'm on Xbox, I'll have to try harder at crosshair aiming, using anything else I'm pretty much exclusively ADS.

Any old Ghost Recon players here? Like old-school GR and GR2? Even though I think games like MW2 have eliminated the need for "tactical shooters," I really do miss wide-open fields, woods, mountain ranges, small towns, big cities, etc. etc.

There's a challenge for using a nuke when your team is losing, and the reward is a sweet animated emblem. I bet he was hunting that challenge.

Once you call in the nuke the score freezes, regardless of the game mode.
