Playing Wasteland with anything less than a sniper rifle and coldblooded mean instadeath for me. Unless I get a rare team that thinks camping in the tunnels are a good idea. Then it's noob tube city.

It's actually not to bad for newbies. The deathstreaks are pretty helpful when starting out. Copycat lets you take the class of the enemy who killed you which sometimes is pretty sweet. Although you might want to wait til the carepackage glitch is fixed. It can get pretty stupid real quick if you don't know how to stop them.

It's fine if you can accept that for the first hour or two you are gonna get your dick kicked in.... badly.Tamanon said:

I don't agree at all. I think that, as demonstrated by the week or so after Christmas, this game is not noob friendly at all. Sure, once you get the hang of the game and learn the maps, you'll do pretty well, but until then (probably for the first 12 hours of gameplay), you are going to get so fucked up. I still get people on my team who are in first prestige (non-70s) from time to time and from my experience, they always get stomped so hard. I'm talking like 2-25 stomped, not 10-20 stomped.Choke on the Magic said:
At this point in the game, you really need to be patient and committed if you want to play MW2, and know that you're going to get, like someone said about, your dick kicked in with an steel-toed boot.

yep, I'm sure. They were doing it for a good couple of minutes too cos I snuck around all over the place before I found them in some little nook.
two enemies, both with red text, thats why I was able to kill them both!

It's not that bad... if you're looking to get back into shooters, then MW2 is the game you want. The guns you start out with are just as good as the guns in higher levels. The only thing you're missing is some perks and map knowledge. Once you get the maps down, you're essentially on level ground as everyone else.
My best advice would be to avoid running and gunning at first... just take it slow, explore the maps, and find some good cover areas to ambush enemies.

Really, holy $hit! Details? Any official word on what is is supossed to do?

Hell yeah dude, it's a must, we've gone as far to go through maps in every game mode to plan for GBs, etc. It's the best way to learn some of the smallest details of the map that may be useful. I usually do it with buddies though, so we can talk through it.

yup, me too. getting pretty annoying. FIX THIS SHIT, GG.
'fetching playlists...
updating rank and unlocks complete.
connecting to matchmaking server complete.'
ok... fancy letting me play?
I'm actually breezing through the last 10 levels far quicker than I thought. I'm like level 68-69 and I'm flying through really. I don't really want to go so fast cos I don't wanna be that guy who's Lvl 70 and I don't wanna make the call to prestige yet either!
I understand the 69-70 jump is big though....100,000 XP or so, thats exponential growth for you!

That's not true in every case. It depends on your team and what map you're playing. Tbh until I can to custom classes I automatically back out heavy camping matches until I get a map suited for what weapons are available to me. The preset classes aren't the best, but they're useable, heck I still use them from time to time.
Wasteland games full of snipers are some of the most annoying type, but I find it to be one of my strongest maps. I equip my stealth class and just sneak around the tall grass or stick to the pits.
You can traverse A LOT of the map without ever revealing yourself, it's amaIng how hard you can be to spot when you prone, you're basically invisible if you know what you're doing.
If that fails, equip smokes to block their field of view.
The map is so big that sneaking behind enemies is usually possible, especially if they're looking through scopes a lot.

Equip SitRep too so you can see all the sniper Claymores. That little flash of red pretty much gives away their location from across the map.
OldJadedGamer said:
I'd probably prefer Ninja to hide from HBS and reduce footsteps. Although sitrep pro amplifying enemy noises would be useful.
I don't think claymores are heavily used by snipers on wasteland since the map is so open, an enemy can approach from all kinds of angles and more likely kill them in the back from a fair distance away.

I've had SitRep equipped for a while going for my Pro and I play Hardcore so when I see that flashing red, I make a B-line over to that location since there is going to be some dude near it. Very... very rarely will a guy plant a Claymore then run across to the other side of the map. I do this sometimes though and it's pretty funny to get my kill like 2 minutes later when I totally forgot about planting it.
kaizoku said:
Again, I play hardcore and yes... claymores are heavily used in Wasteland. Sure... if it's just me going after them but I play with my friends and we play as a team so you might be able to shoot me from your right but my friend from the left is going to get you and you can't avoid stuff like Predator missiles since I know their exact location and can either fire one off my myself or have friends do it.
And with noob tubes, you can fire those from across the map. I have zero problems with Snipers in Wasteland. But the best thing to do with camping Snipers in Wasteland is to camp in the bunker. Use the players impatience against them.

Ok so looks like the afghan rock glitch is still in the game.
My brother was playing last night and said that he killed a guy trying to get in there and then a little farther into the game he was in there shooting people and eventually got an EMP. Anybody else see this? I thought they fixed it.
EDIT-Sorry, this is supposedly a new rock glitch, not the old one. If you go right outside the back cave entrance on the cliff, and make a left against the wall, theres an ideal camping spot next to a bunch of rocks. That is where this new glitch is. My brother was 99% sure he was in the rocks since the frames were all fucked up. I'm gonna test it out in a private match.

Since this game's release... have they ever? I've still said that IW jumped the Shark with MW2 and their Swan Song remains COD4.
