I played a lot of COD4 and most of that was spent sitting atop my level (edit) 55 rank. I never did prestige because I did not see a point in giving up all I had gained. With MW2 though, I did so as soon as I got my 10 nukes out of the way. (I had 7 nukes when I hit lvl 70 and did not want to redo that madness)
The reason I did prestige this time around was so that I could get the Prestige challenges for weapons. You only need to prestige once to unlock these challenges which never reset. I love that it will track my kills with weapons beyond the normal cap of 1000 and earning additional titles and emblems is a nice bonus.
Like you though, now that I have those challenges unlocked, I will lock it down on this first prestige and try to best all the challenges.
By the way, does anyone know if getting fall camouflage on all guns in a class unlocks a unique skin? (just like the gold guns in COD4)

You mean level 55 in COD4?
My buddies keep telling me that I should do it at least once to open up the new challenges and I might then stop and finish up all the challenges which I'm really looking forward to because I never did in COD4. But now that everyone is prestiging... it sounds dumb but I don't want the same icon as everyone else. If I'm a normal 70, my icon is going to be unique. Again, sounds dumb but that is a factor too. I'll see when I hit 70 and I'm presented with it. I'm 62 now so I'm close but not looking forward to it.
Wondering if somebody can give me some technical support for the 360 version.
My 360 is connected to a router. and My NAT is open and so is his.
I have my buddy Steve who I play with and whenever we are partied together he is always at 1 bar while everybody in the game is either at 3 or 4.
What could be the problem?

Ugh. Nuke hunting is not fun. Still need seven more. Regular Domination didn't help; sure, the game was less laggy, but there are less targets and the Apache tends to do less work (at least, from what I experienced).
I have to say this though: I think the nuke is a great addition to the game. The threat of a possible nuke is enough to drive the otherwise unmotivated players to shoot down air support. Without it, AC-130s and Apaches would get shot down a hell of a lot less than they do now. I just wish they didn't set the nuke count for the End Game challenge so damn high - in the grand scheme of things, 10 nukes is a hell of a lot.

I'd like to share something I found funny.
I played CoD4 with some work colleagues at lunch and after work for 2 years and everyone was excited to move to MW2. And of course, the networking issues made that a lot less fun to do at work than CoD4. But aside from that, some of these guys found it really really hard to move on from CoD4.
Before MW2, they were very obviously getting antsy for something new but they could never get excited about any other game there was to play that wasn't CoD4. Here are some of the choice comments in our afternoon email discussions. Bear in mind, this stuff is from just one guy over the last 2 months. He's got the game on PC and PS3. All I can say is I'm glad I'm not playing it PS3. he's worse than the people he complains about.
"Ive been playing it just about every weekend since it was released and its still shit. The only way to balance it is to teamkill the ppl that exploit and camp"
"I only kill enemy players to reduce the tk wait between tks Its the only way to make mw2 enjoyable I usually target any fag camping it up, or double shotgun douchebags"
"I had a great mw2 team kill session on the weekend. They cry so loud and hard, the only bad thing is if you c4 the whole team at the start of the round you get a 1 min penalty for each person you kill, which is fucken GAY, but its funny as hell to stun the whole team, chuck the c4, listen to them cry for a bit, then leave and rejoin the same server and keep TKing."
"Fucken shit game
I just TK on ps3 now
Its the only thing that makes the game fun."
"I want a refund!! I bought the piece of shit on 2 skus with the expectation it wouldnt be a pile of dog shit!"
"I played kz2 online for a good couple of hrs last night,
Surprisingly I didnt spill a drop of milk.
If kz2 doesnt make me hulk out, mw2 is definitely a fucked up piece of shit."
Over the last month he's been extolling the virtues of Killzone 2, MAG, CoD2, the SW mod for CoD4 and now back to CoD4 (which he spent 18 months complaining about). Yet he's still playing MW2 on PS3 rather than sell it.
edit: sorry about the double post- there was a 500 error when I first tried. just saw this now.
But hey, it was really that funny...

I think I'm on like 8 days and 15 hours LVL67 Prestige 3. I want to get prestige one more time before Mass Effect 2 comes out. Doesnt mean I wont be playing MW2 though.

I shouldn't be allowed to play core. :lol I just went 32-6 on sub base with the ump. 3 predator missiles, and each got me two+kills including the game-winning killcam. :lol :lol
EDIT: just went 23-2 sniping on Derail. My buddy got an AC130 but he didn't have the nuke equipt, and I got my chopper gunner but we reached the score limit. Haha. Awesome night.

Tiny bit OT, but who likes the soundtrack to the game? The song that plays when you only have 1 min left in a match is very intense. That snippet is also taken from the same theme that plays in the OpFor victory song, as well as the "kill 10 juggernauts with only a knife and explosives" Spec Ops mission. It's probably somewhere in the main game too, but I can't remember.
Can't wait for Activision/Zimmer to release that.

So.. is there yet another game breaking glitch in this game now?
Was in a ranked room on 360, playing Demolition on Skidrow. Sporadically throughout the match I notice 2 guys on my team sitting off in the spawn throwing down care package markers, but I shrugged it off and figured they'd earned them, since I was too busy attacking/defending to notice.
However, game tied 1-1, we go defense, and I notice they are actually sitting in our spawn, throwing down unlimited care packages. They would take turns throwing them down until they got an awesome drop, then they'd use said drop, then start the process again. Strangely enough I guess their drops were usually shit because one finished with 19 kills and the other only 35 while I went 70-20. Sadly our team lost as it was basically 6 on 4. And of course, being douchebag glitchers, they whined that we weren't defusing the bomb at the end.
What the fuck went on during development of this game. This is getting pretty regoddamndiculous.

Played Free for All on Highrise yesterday and it ended with a nuke by some guy. I felt so stupid afterwards, because he was boosting with some other guy with the same clan tag. I saw the Tactical Insertition once on the edge of the map you didn't notice much and didn't do anything about it..
Well, I reported him and the other guys in the lobby where pretty angry about those guys, too.

Try different playlists. That stuff seems to be more common in ground war and non-mercenary tdm. Try out Search and Destroy, HC TDM, maybe some FFA and see how you feel then.

I wish they made a non kill streak mode for tdm. This stupid shit ruins the game for me.
It would also be nice if they reduced damage for all weapons. COD4 seemed to have better balance.
I do like the ranger's theme and the brazilian ganster theme the most.

Apparently the WA2000 distinguishes between upper torso and lower torso - only the upper has a 1.5 modifier. What is probably happening is that you are getting a lower torso hit - all the snipers do the same base damage (70), but without any other modifier, stopping power is only going to give you 98 hit points of damage, not enough for a one hit kill. The WA2000 is one of the low recoil sniper guns, so you should probably fire in bursts of two to be sure...

K/D matters nothing in objective games.
It's a shame the majority of MW2 players fail to understand or appreciate this.

I think I would just stop talking to that guy or at the least tell him to shut the fuck up about MW2 because I don't give a shit.
I wish they didn't show the K/D in objective games and just had the number of points captured/bombs planted/etc. I had a game where I felt I was the only person capturing points, so half-way through I just stopped to see if anyone else would. None of the 8 other people on my team did for the rest of the match, infact many times they just ran straight past them. It's like, are they fucking stupid._Alkaline_ said:

I'm not all the way pissed with it yet, but I understand your pain. I love the "feel" of the game, but the maps and gameplay in multiplayer just make me more frustrated than anything. I play maybe once a week now just to scratch my Call of Duty itch, but I can't put hours into it constantly like I did in MW1 for like a year and a half.

Yeah, I've been close to getting a Nuke a couple of times in FFA only to have the score or time limit run out. So when someone got a nuke once, I was suprised and thought they must be really good. Then, some guy points out that a player in our lobby had ~ 2 kills - 25 deaths.

Domination is one of the most frustrating. People take advantage of the fact that those who are actually trying to play properly are sitting ducks, so they camp and pounce on these people to boost their K/D. You'll find most nukes happen in this mode.
Sabotage and demolition are similar as well - who cares about planting the bomb if you can improve your K/D instead? Sabotage is particularly frustrating - many teams won't pick up the bomb, even if they are all near it - they merely camp around it and rack up kills instead. Even worse is the fact that kills gives you 100 points in sabotage, as opposed to demoliition.
The fact is that few care about their W/L, so capturing points or planting bombs means nothing to them. They play objective games because those who are actually trying to win are easy prey. It's completely unbalanced - even worse when you consider that IW is practically ushering people to not play properly since nukes will win the game regardless of the current score. If nukes will win, why play properly? Might as well camp, rack up killstreaks and deploy a nuke instead. It's bullshit.
Search and destroy is pretty much the only objective type that is played properly.

Anyone else think that the regular team deathmatch should require more points to win? It's sometimes frustrating, really.

I totally agree to this. Sometimes when I'm capturing a point, my teammates would run right past me trying to get a killstreak instead of helping me cap faster...
Even though I average a 2:1 K/D on domination, I still capture points to help our team win.
When someone has a chopper gunner or ac130, I already assume their nuke hunting.
I will end my own killstreak and suicide(semtex) to my CB class to shoot down air support, before I let someone get a nuke because their playing objective games like TDM.

Huh, has anyone seen this hacked Xbox mod where you can give people negative experience and delevel them to rank 1?
Man, the Xbox is basically more open to hacking than the PC now. :lol

I'll admit that this has been me lately. I think the problem isn't the killstreaks as much as it is the killstreak emblems, and I'm determined to get that nuke emblem legit. That requires building streaks, and I'm going to ignore objectives to try to build that streak until I get all my nukes (and then never again, I swear).
Blame IW for setting the nuke challenge limit so ridiculously high.
Just started using the AUG and Holy Crap this thing is amazing! It absolutely vanquishes anything at short to mid range and is more accurate from the hip than the UMP.
Just got a 12 kill streak thanks to it (my previous record was 8), though it was only ended when I stopped to position my Harrier strike and some guy knifed me from out of nowhere.
On another note, Estate is really starting to gel with me. I'll agree it's intolerable on TDM/FFA but on Domination it just works. And if the other time is camping it up in the house(s), I just give them a face full of Noob Tube
