Oh Scrapyard is the worst for that. Drives me crazy!

ROFL

How'd you manage that? The AC130 has like 3 flares...

Man, I don't know what it is, but it's so weird how sometimes air support will have flares and sometimes it won't or it will have a different amount. I haven't been successful shooting an AC-130 down yet, but I've seen Pavelows get lit up on the first try and sometimes it takes 2 or 3, same with other choppers. Shit, I've even had missed Javelins on Harriers sometimes when, usually, it's a one shot kill.... that game is just weird sometimes. One time my red dot stayed after an enemy EMP, too. I don't know, man...

Man, you guys are reminding me why I absolutely hate online play. Unless you are willing to play for a couple hours every single night you will eternally suck. There's no point.

Isn't that true for any online game, though? I mean, where competition is involved.

Yes and no. If the damned ranking system actually worked it wouldn't be so bad.

Oh, you have to go play Halo for that. COD has no ranking system as far as player skill is involved. Your rank doesn't go up and down with wins and losses like it does in Halo.

I've got a friend at just under 5...he's the best I've ever seen.

What mode(s) does he play?

I'm not sure what he's been playing in the new one but he mixed up quite a bit in the last one. FFA, TDM, Sab, Search and destroy. He's pretty much equally good in everything with minor variations.

Again, yes and no. If I could only be paired up with players of an equal rank I would at least have somewhat more of a chance of competing. When I am constantly getting thrown up against level 40s and above it just kills any enjoyment. Nothing like running for 10 seconds and getting killed. Nah. CoD4 killed online gaming for me.

Uncharted 2, on the other hand, I enjoy the coop games online.

Nobody can have a 5 KDR on a console unless they snipe only and hide somewhere where nobody can find them.

Thats ridiculous.

Anyone want to play tonight?

With the one I shot, it essentially hit the AC130 from above. It shot into the air and hit it from the top and the flares never came out - maybe because I was back far enough from the AC130, I don't know, but it worked....one shot, one kill. Funny as shit listening to him after the game crying about it.
