It seems like he got EXTREMELY lucky that the initial Nade killed 6 people. That alone is insane.

The thing is this video really hasnt impressed me, hes broken COD down to a series of very mechanical mathmatical motions which was started off with luck.

It is impressive for how fast he got it but yeah, a lot of things had to come together for it to happen. Sick grenade though.

That is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.

At the same time it is also the saddest thing I have ever seen. Pretty much condensed all the things wrong with MW2 into a few mins. :lol

He got extremely lucky, and the enemy team made a huge tactical mistake. Regardless of the game mode, your team should never bunch up right in the same spot.

Staged. There's no way B takes that long to cap with 6 guys.

It's entirely possible, given how low level the entire other team was. Matchmaking shouldn't have put an entire low-level team against his team (then again, the matchmaking is far from perfect :lol ). It still looks pretty badass.

True I do this all the time on my PS3 copy, people generally dont even equip weapons they are so dumb on there! Its true guys

I know, right?

Ignore lists are great until that person gets quoted. And then you realize why you ignored them in the first place. Quality posts there, champ.
Not you, butts, but the guy you quoted.

The nuke is less impressive when you look at the ranks of the opposition.



edit: does anyone know how these guys get into such low ranking games?
 
Nuke video has to be staged. Look how many idiots STAYED at the flag a good three seconds after they capped. Come on now. :lol And I'm sure he instructed them to mash on the respawn button rapidly so he could rack up the spawn kills.

looks legit to me, i mean if you've played that map enough you know where the respawns are. He placed the harrier exactly where i would of put them.

You CAN bypass the matchmaking if you want to. All you have to do is bring up your list of recently played players and follow a low ranking one into his/her match.

I do this all the time with boosters (thank you Sandy Ravage). Once they rage quit because I'm not letting them boost, I wait until a spot opens up in their next match and jump in to get them again. I'll do this about 3 or 4 times until they eventually give up. Most times they'll just quit playing for the night.
 
So I've come across a shit load of kids today at lvl70 10th prestige and I start getting messages asking for MS points to glitch my way up with all unlocks, emblems and titles!?

The hell is going on with this game?

Between that stuff and the shotguns and the akimbo and the glitches and the sociopaths on the headsets, no thanks...I'll stick with BC2 and hope that Activision finishes off the COD franchise as quickly as they gutted Guitar Hero...

Did you hear the part where the guy said he'd left around 5,000 matches trying to do what he did before he finally got the nade and everything to come together perfectly? Lets blow this way out of proportion like everything else has been regarding this game :lol

Also, seems strange to see you comment about shotguns and glitches and then pimp up BC2, where you can use a shotgun as a sniper rifle and engage in its own fair share of glitches. But to each his own.

:lol The Saiga is a pretty sweet sniper rifle though.

That's been around a while. People with modded consoles will charge money to let you into a modded lobby where kills give you insane experience, title/emblem challenges have been modified so you can get all titles and emblems, etc.

I see. I'm not bumping into these modded lobby's though? They're not on Live, right?

Ever been into a super-speed match? Or an explosive bullets match? Those were seeded by modded lobbies. Yes, they can get into general matchmaking, but they're very rare.

That 1-21 video is pretty funny. But I have to watch it sections because watching other people play makes my head hurt. The fact he was getting killed every 10 seconds just made it worse.
 
Anyone else having trouble getting the free weekend to pre-load.

I already play Modern Warfare on 360, but I'd quite like to see how it runs on my PC, so this free weekend seems like a cool thing for me.

Anyway, the second window is coming up, but it just sits at 0% and clicking start pre-load does nothing, anyone else have the same issue, or a solution?

EDIT: Actually someone on the steam forums noticed that it is downloading, but secretly. Check the program files/steam/steamapps/common and the modern warfare 2 folder is there and continuing to download in secret. Strange, but at least it's downloading.
