It sure as hell felt like it when I played MW2 last night, and it sure as hell is according to Den Kirson's blog.

It didn't feel like it when I played MW2 all last week to get ready for this game.

Den Kirson is probably a liar. Whoever he is.

So does anyone find shooting enemies unsatisfying? I don't quiet know how to put it but I feel like I am shooting an empty texture. This is for all CoD games I have felt like this. In comparison games I have the most satisfaction shooting people in is Perfect Dark followed by Halo and then most recently Rage. Does anyone know what I am talking about or is it just me?

I hear you brother. PD still has the best hit detection I've ever seen in a game, and it's 12 fucking years old!

Getting my ass kicked on Veteran.
The part where you have to use mortars to take out the from the tower. Its Africa i believe, can't even remember the name and i played it a few hours ago. Totally forgettable game.
Edit: Its called back on the grid.
It's also a pain in the arse that my the checkpoint before that part has an explosion go off in your face which kills you if you don't run backwards as soon as you can. And there are guys shooting at you from a tower too.

Any Tips?

What bugs me the most is that on your own screen, you see 2 bullets hit and kill you, but on the kill cam the guy shoots a lot more than that.

At least you are seeing bullets. Half the time I just fall down dead as the guys gun fires.

So the Blind Eye perk always you to remain hidden from UAV's as well correct? What about the advanced UAV?

I'm pretty sure Assassin is the perk you're looking for. Assassin Pro hides you from AUAVs, IIRC.

Kill the guys in the building shooting at you before getting on the mortar, makes it easier

Need to get assassin and pro version asap. UAV nonstop. Seems like, I am the only one trying to shoot them down. People don't seem to know shooting them down add to your killstreak.

Am I the only one that thinks the health in multiplayer is fine? Yeah you die faster than you did in previous CODs, but it does a couple things that I like:

1) It makes movement and positioning more important, which adds a strategic layer (albeit a small one) to the usual run-and-gun gameplay

2) It prevents people from consistently getting super high killstreaks. Obviously there will be people who are really good and can rack up killstreaks consistently, but the majority of players won't be that good and will probably stick with the Support strike package

Anyway I'm enjoying the game. It's nowhere near as good as COD4 (let's face it, nothing is), but it's a damn sight more enjoyable than MW2 (and I got sick of MW2 within a few weeks of it coming out). Do I like it more than Black Ops? Tough to say, I actually really enjoyed that game and played the hell out of it. Only time will tell, although so far I will say I prefer Treyarch's level design over Infinity Ward's (and never in a million years did I think I would ever say that).

Man the maps in this game suck ass. They're not even memorable looking. I'm having trouble remembering them because they look so generic.

Is COD Elite working now?
Click to expand...

Its kind of spotty. I was able to login once today on the site but never get into the 'Elite' page. I did link my Xbox live account through the elite site though.

- Just downloaded the 'Call of Duty: Elite' Application on my Xbox and was able to 'Link' my Xbox live account and CoD:Elite account there after retrying about 5 times and a lot of waiting.
- Its taking ages to login.
- Just got a message that says 'Upgrade Completed' instantly followed by 'Request Error' There was an error communicating with the Call of Duty ELITE service. Returning to the Start Screen.

So I guess just keep trying, you'll get a little further each time.

Apparently it is Internet Amateur Hour over at COD Elite HQ. I forgot my password and they just emailed me my actual password in plain text.
Thankfully it isn't one I use for much stuff so I don't have to be super paranoid and change everything.

Twitch game, P2P hosting is too fucking LOL for this day and age. Why oh why can't they get their fucking fat hands in their wallets and buy us some dam servers!! If EA can do it for console Activi$ion have no excuse. Had 3 games in a row where the host buggered off and it failed to designate a new one, that's so 1996.

Have you ever switched HDDs? I've been using my 20GB launch HDD since the beginning and got all 4 of my prestige tokens from COD4/WAW/MW2/BLOPS.

Ohhhhhhhhhh you have less health, no wonder I have died so quick sometimes, makes sense now.

Haha I agree with the killcam showing a guy shooting a lot of bullets but in real time he shoots one or two, makes me scratch my head

Criticism is valid, as is the praise. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, except when it's covered in dog shit.

If the formula hasn't changed by then, I'll be the first to complain. This game is great for now, however.

I agree. I like this game a lot. It is very fun, but the health needs to be raised or the gun damage needs to be toned down.

Its almost as if IW is telling me to camp instead of run and gun.

Just ignore the BF3 trolls. The rest of us like the game a lot, but still have some complaints here and there :p

I'm really liking the multiplayer, considering I play Hardcore only...I'm actually happy with the increased damage for the regular mode. I might play more of the reg match types now.

The guns feel great, the maps are a bit confusing but I'm sure I will get used to them over time. The gunplay is super tight, much more so than MW1/2.

I likes :)

I'm waiting until I finish the SP before jumping into multiplayer, but I'd like to get some questions answered while I wait.

1. What's the best way to take down a Juggernaut in MP? Any tricks been discovered yet? I can see them annoying me until I discover the proper way to dispose of them.

2. Same question, but this time regarding the Assault Drone. Any tips?

3. Is the Stinger in this game? If not, what's the MP equivalent?

Thanks, dudes.

Playing some S&D on PC. Lvl 67 joins the game on the other team, proceeds to hack like hell (even his own team was calling him on it). That didn't take long at all.

How about just avoid the internet? Or are you constantly surrounded by fanboys? Are they camping outside your house using your wifi to post on GAF?

Came in expecting not so great things, and came away pleasantly surprised by the MP. The ballistic vests really help out a lot. Also, i'm glad you can get killed so quickly. It prevents high killstreaks (unless you are a beast).
