Not really a problem for me as I like to play with the support strike package. 5-6 kills before running out of ammo is a decent compromise, plus I have steady aim and a machine pistol as my secondary so I don't need to change my play style much when I run out of ammo.
Wonder if the PM-9 is as good as the PP90.

Glad I didn't waste 50 dollar signing up for Elite at this juncture. Site works fine on my PS3 but on my PC nothing. Keeps promising double XP but I click on the link only to a dead page. I was in the beta too. I'm surprised they still haven't fixed it.

Wondering about the XP progress, does each level require a certain amount more XP than the previous? What's a decent XP per match?

In game chat is amazing. I just heard a guy call someone the "N" word, and he responded by saying " Shut the fuck up whiteboy, that's why white people like mashed potatoes!" Guy started calling him potatoehead afterwards
lol, I don't get it.

Not sure if this was posted but it looks like elite founders will be getting an extra 30 days of membership due to the elite service being messed up.

My whole setup is based around avoiding and destroying air support and with the way these maps are layed out holding a position long enough for these SAM turrets (which are pretty weak compared to BLOPS) to work is difficult. Not to mention that these maps have so much shit hanging over your head that good spots are few and far between.Tomat said:

I was playing a game and EVERYONE in the room was running specialist. NOT 1 fucking killstreak happened the whole 3-4 matches we had.

I still cant register my founder's code on the CallofDuty.com website. Anyone else having this problem? Would appreciate any feedback. Cheers!
Had a run in with a bunch like that today. Maybe it was the same mofo's. Dude had the nerve to tell me that's how it has been done since Modern Warfare. I said that's not the way you play a game moron. Who buys a f'ing game for $59.99 plus tax to sit in a f'ing corner the whole match. Rest of his team chimed in talking shit. I said pick one of your punk friends and hit me up now for a one and one. Yup they kept bitching and wouldn't accept my request. Punk a$$ mofo's.aku:jiki said:It's pissing me and my team off too. We keep being matched up with the same camping asshats over and over and over. I guess we get the "best" ping (questionable though) against them, but it's getting really tiresome. Even if they didn't play dirty, it takes away from the fun randomness of online gaming...
I want MW2's netcode, all of it, back so bad!

Haha, oh wow. I'm between 1 and 2K, and usually the best in match is 3K.... How on earth would you get to 7K - does the specialist ad XP?
Rented this yesterday and banged it out in two sessions on Veteran. Story was braindead, but entertaining and gameplay was decent. No denying the production values they put into the series these days. Was fun picking out the voice actors in particular.
Glad I rented it though - no interest in multi and I'm largely jaded with the SP campaigns of the series at this point. Only so many times you can get excited about slo-mo breaching and blurry "I'm hurt because a bomb blew up in my face" sequences.

Well on elite if you can get it working on your console or pc it gives you a time estimator to whatever level you put in it.

I'm not a member of the premium elite, but it keeps getting stuck on a page saying it was entering my info into elite with some spinning wheel below the text. Keeps timing out saying an error occurred.
If you run hardline you get an unlock at 1 kill. I think it's like 600 points so every time you die and get a kill you get 600 points. On top of that every perk you unlock has challenges for XP so eventually you'll hit those milestones and get a bunch of xp. I'm not sure if the 2nd and 3rd unlocks are both 600 points, they might be more. I saw a +5000 flash up once but I 'm not sure what that was for.Chittagong said:

Ahhh! Worked it out. The code is useless as I am already a premium member cause I entered my Elite code in on the 360. Doh!
I read this on the COD forums and thought it might be useful to someone else in my situation:
"if you already signed up for premium, you do not need to use your founder code. its just a cool looking card. only the people who purchased hardened, but didnt get a chance to activate it till after the 13th need to use the code"

Ok so my brother just got a patch on the 360 and now I cant join his games? My friend and I still haven't gotten a patch for the game yet. Any clue on whats going on?
BigBlackGamer said:
This is great, I HATE killstreaks, if they disappeared from the game I wouldn't miss them. I just want to have to some fun shootouts, not worrying about shit in the air trying to kill me. I hope everyone figures out how great specialist class is and doesn't touch offensive killstreaks again.

What the hell? Me and my friend were in a party and I got booted from Live. Then I was prompted to download an update. When I got back on we couldn't invite each other and it kept saying game session was full even though we weren't in a match. Plus my friend didn't get a prompt for an update. It appears both are version numbers are different too. Anyone else get a prompted for an update?

So pleased with my 1.70 K/D right now. Still slowly pushing it upward.
Just got Akimbo Skorpions. I am so my favorite gun has made a return, and having two of them is awesome.
I still wish there was more variety in the maps. All the maps seem to be focused on close quarter combat. I don't usually snipe, but I do enjoy using an M16 in long range situations, but I feel like there aren't many opportunities to do that. Also, all of the maps seem to urban to me. I wish there were some more natural environments.

Went on for a few hours of multiplayer TDM, this is the worst COD online I've ever played, and I've played the last 5 online quite a bit. Horrible maps, the random spawns right behind you are unbelievable. I'm selling it, I got my hours out of the single player, but I refuse to play this shiny turd online when I can play Gears 3. Hell, I'll probably buy Battlefield 3 even though I hated the demo. This is horrible horrible horrible online gameplay. Way to kill this one Activision.

I'm inclined to agree. I dig the support killstreaks as well though because in previous MW games my scrub friends hardly ever got to call in killstreaks but now they can contribute with UAV's, vest's and other stuff.
Hell my friend called in a EMP and he sounded like he just got the MOAB.

I agreed and disagree.
On one hand, they're kind of a defining feature of the multiplayer.
On the other-hand, the totally undercut the notion of player skill deciding the outcome.
Yes, you earn a killstreak by playing well. And then what? If your chopper guns down 10 people, how the hell did you have anything to do with that? And those kills that go into your next kill streak, you didn't earn them, some AI script did the work for you.

Just finished the campaign.
Ho... ly... Crap.
Infinity Ward really are the masters of creating a ridiculously immersive and bombastic single player campaign. I don't think there's a developer on this planet that can make me cringe at the ridiculous set pieces and special effects they utilize. I played Uncharted 3 and sort of shrugged at some of the special effects they use to "shock" you, but damn if I didn't try to shield myself when I saw some of the things that this game throws at you.
And the story is told, and wrapped up, very well. I've been with COD since the beginning (Call of Duty 1 on the PC was so awesome at the time), so I have a strong connection to Price, and this game makes me love him and his bad-assness even more. Some of the twists and turns as the story went on seriously effected some emotion out of me. Not many games can do that.
Overall very satisfied with this game, as I'm one of those weirdos who plays Call of Duty games for the campaign (well, the Infinity Ward ones at least. Treyarch's campaigns are dog shit in comparison, although I love Blops' multiplayer). Going to play through again on easy to pick up all the intel, then do my obligatory COD Veteran run, which I've done on every IW developed COD since COD2. I'm disappointed that the IW campaigns get shorter with every game (4:40 clocked this go around), but honestly I think they kept it succinct and powerful, and that's the way I love my single player campaigns.
Also Bak3ray sorry I didn't accept your game invite, I was knee deep in some serious shit in Act III at the time, so couldn't tear myself away lol.

I was ever so slightly disappointed at the final "boss fight" though. I thought MW2 did it better. Flinging a knife into Shepherd's eye was just so much cathartic than what happened here with Makarov.
