So I took a break from MW2...I noticed a patch pop up came up on my ps3...

Have they nerfed anything? Lightweight got nerfed last time...commando this time maybe?

Wouldn't really agree that a 3% decrease in speed constitutes a nerf... A knife-runner will still stab you 5 times before you know what's up with the current 7% Lightweight. That was mostly symbolic to quiet down some of the complaining.

They're never gonna change Commando though. To nerf it, you would have to remove it completely because a tiny addition to the already huge knife lunge would be a completely useless perk - it needs to be a huge lunge to be a perk at all - and they'll never even consider doing that.

And if they're gonna remove a perk, I vote Last Stand 50 times over. God damn that shit is bullshit.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it, exactly what I was looking for pros, cons and the PC parts that I need, I will be checking if they have international delivery, if not I will find similar parts here in Sweden.

btw, I have an 21'' lcd already but no hdmi, will that do or should I buy it the next month instead?

It's not cheap but it is an excellent product and well worth the money imo.

I play infront of a monitor with headphones and it's like having extra 3 perks. I have 2.5 kd (TDM only) and the next nuke I launch will be my 20th.

Yep, in CoD 4-1 I used to run up to people in Last Stand, jump on top of them and then knife them. It was a lot of fun. I can't do that no more :(

:lol I somewhat I agree.

During my first prestige I used this perk alot, I even got the "The Stand" callsign, then I didn't used it on my 2nd and on my current prestige.

I f'ing hate it now, especially the guys who used it. It's like when you hit the guy he drops dead, then there's like a 1-sec invulnerability when he goes down, giving the guy a high chance of fighting back.

On the other hand, Akimbo Raffica + Last Stand = God damn amazing!

The worst part is that I have a tendency to reload immediately after 'downing' somebody, so I often get stuck defenseless when I put a guy in Last Stand.

I say keep it as a death streak reward, and get rid of it as an actual perk.

They should just change Commando to give you double EXP for a knife kill, while keeping the no fall damage. Knifers would still choose it over other perks and it wouldn't annoy anyone. 1k exp per kill in SnD seems a bit high but meh, you can't really be successful knifing only in that mode.

Edit: Double EXP is probably a shit idea now that I think about it. Knifers are bad enough, we don't want more of them. No idea what to do with Commando then.

Also, completely remove Last Stand. That shit is absolutely retarded.

I demand Last Stand for all "kills" that are not heashots.

That will separate the boys from the MEN!

Just remove it as a perk and use it as a gameplay mechanic.

What? I find that knifing is by far the easiest way to play S&D, because everyone else plays it so slow and carefully and are not expecting someone to come running at top speed from behind.

Personally, I haven't seen a problem with Commando for weeks. People generally use a tactical knife if they go knifing now, and Commando on that leaves you with the normal lunge everyone has... Last Stand is the fucking devil though. Can't tell you how many times I've surprised two guys and had the advantage, I'm totally taking them but...nope, he went into Last Stand and ruined everything. :(

I would be cool with that. It's what IW should've realized to begin with, like they did with Martyrdom.

:lol at all the Last Stand hatred.

I rarely (and I mean almost never) get killed by anyone in Last Stand. The only time I ever really even notice it is if I'm maining a shotgun. It's so useless compared to the other green perks that I don't understand why you would want to use it. Personally, I think it should have been buffed and made to be like W@W's Second Chance, which lets you revive downed players who are currently in Second Chance. Getting together a team of buddies and running that perk as a team was so much fun :D

:lol at all the perk hatred. Come on, I hear people advocating for removing Commando, neutering the UMP, etc. etc.

I think some people won't be happy unless this game closely resembles COD4.

Maybe if they make all the perks useless, we can all trudge around at the same speed with the same weapons like we're playing COD2. That will be fair.

I know I'm the millionth person to say this, but hot damn it sucks being back at level 1.

I finally prestiged last night and couldn't believe how much I relied on certain things. OMA, Cold Blooded Pro, custom classes etc. etc. etc.

I'm not sure what scares me more: That I've played 80 hours of online MW2, or that it took me that long to get to 71. Either way, I'm old.

Honestly, the UMP is bullshit. It literally is 2 shots to down someone. WTF. And I agree last stand is bullshit. Last Stand is just bullshit though, because I tend to reload after downing someone so here I am thinking he's dead and I reload, BOOM. I'm dead, that motherfucker shot me while I was reloading in last stand and when I respawn, I see a +50 on my screen, and I'm like die you shit. And the UMP is just too fucking powerful, like holy shit wtf at that gun. Literally it's just so annoying and to have a battle with someone with a UMP is just ....... because HE WILL DOWN YOU before you could.

And that's when I resort to TAR, fuck them UMP'ers.

I'm 3rd prestige, never got a nuke but I win my games (try to) and a somewhat mediocre k/d ratio. 1.20.

That isn't the issue with it for me. The issue is you down someone and Joe M16 comes up behind you and steals your kill. That has happened to me a lot more than actually getting killed by Last Stand, and it is just as annoying.

I really, REALLY wish that the prestige mode would unlock new secret weapons only usable by prestige players.. Like golden version of the guns,

Lots of my friend reached 70 and they just stopped playing as they feel like 'theyve finished the game' and dont feel like restarting all over again for basically nothing.

The other day I was shot in an alley with last stand on and managed to get my 4,5 and 7 kill streak rewards while in last stand. The other team just kept running in! It was great :D

I don't hate Last Stand because I occasionally get killed by people using it. I hate it because of how much goddamn time and ammo I have to waste killing that person who has it and should have been dead because I shot him in the chest with a fucking SNIPER RIFLE that in reality would make your chest cave in and head explode due to the force of the shot.

When you're in situations where you have to act quickly (let's say, 2 or more enemies within your sights), Last Stand completely fucks up your chances of taking them both down or even surviving. There have been so many situations when I should have gotten 2+ kills that have been destroyed for me because of douchers using Last Stand.

That's not comforting at all. A game is meant to be balanced, fair and fun. Real life is random, unfair and sometimes not very fun at all. Real life warfare, of course, is even more random, unfair and basically never fun.

So, basically, Last Stand should exist in real life but never in a game.

Edit: To be more serious... zorro, kitch9 and the rest, you guys are aware that we are just as allowed to take gaming seriously as you are allowed to not care that much, yes? Last Stand is fucking bullshit for those of us who take our matches seriously and have pride in our skill. It's totally cool to not care too, but don't come preaching!

I'm not preaching - I'm saying it doesn't bother me. I almost never die to it, and since I never run with a sniper rifle, I almost never lose kills to it either. Thus, I don't get all of the "bullshit" claims. It's something of an annoyance, but it's rarely effective and I don't have problems dealing with it. It's vastly less annoying than Commando or even Scrambler. Of all the things you could legitimately bitch about in this game, Last Stand seems pretty far down on the list.

I don't mean to cause you discomfort, but whenever I go running, whether it be in the city or on a trail, I
A) hold my hands in the pistol+tactical knife position
B) occasionally lunge as if I were a commando
C) shout "TEN-INCH STORZGINA!!!" at passers-by
:lol

PS: OT, I eat a decent amount of fish, and I enjoy nothing more than throwing 1/2 a cup of malt vinegar on some french fries. But I usually have the sense to do this within a restaurant or home or outside. Who the fuck brings this shit back to their cubicle to give everyone a nice big smell of it???!!?

The only annoying thing about last stand is the wasted bullets AND the fact that half the time a teammate steals the kill. The guy putting someone in last stand should get the kill points, the dude finishing him off should get the assist points.

Totally agree. I used to be a huge last stand/second chance guy in cod4 and waw because it actually required some effort to use it, unlike martyrdom and juggernaut. But I hardly ever use it in this game since I'm always using commando. Commando has become such a part of my normal play it screws me up when not using it. I end up killing myself by falling off buildings and missing a knife lunge.

But damn I was really hoping for second chance to be in this game. If you had a few friends with it, it was extremely helpful.
