That scavenger perk comes in handy when you run out of ammo.

sitting at a 1.24 k/d ratio right now

I'm sitting at a .75 KDR right now. Lol, yesterday I got no lag. Today it was all about the lag. Plus I went 0-100 over the course of 5 matches just trying to get 1 kill with the throwing knife, never got it either.

Just play like normal and eventually you'll come up on someones back who is a sniper and not paying attention. Go right behind them and throw the knife.

Boom.

Does anybody elsethink Soap resembles shawne merriman?

Excellent.

Too bad they can't kick the player. ROFL

As a PC gamer I find this to be hilarious! ROFL

The hell with IW/Activision.

Is PS3 multiplayer working?

Wow, the single player campaign is crazy stupid. Saying that they jumped the shark with this one might be an understatement.

I'm pretty sure the servers crashed.

I just did the one with Burger Town and Taco to Go lol...play this game on the hardest level it's tons of fun then...

I am on the "opt-out" level and about halfway through it before I had to leave for work.

MP is working for me now.....

kdr down to 0.93 the heart beat monitor is such bullshit

I consider that thing nothing but a distraction. It is only good for the single player mission when you actually have the cover of fog, snow, etc.

I'm liking the Spec Ops. The freakin' sniper one took me forever to get through for some reason. Someone kept on spotting me.

I finished the SP campaign last night.
I might play the entire campaign again on an increased difficulty. I’m not very good at FPS, so I could use the practice.

Then I’ll probably tackle the Spec Ops. Or maybe try a few out before finishing the campaign. Dunno.

I was surprised at how short the SP campaign seemed – I remember feeling the same way with COD 4 though too. Or, maybe it’s because I played it for about 3 hours straight the past 2 nights lol.


I need to start paying attention to what weapons I have during these things to figure out which one I like the best.

Finally started playing Hardcore yesterday - wow, not knowing the maps brought all the intensity back that I fell in love with in COD4. My KDR (which is at a shitty 1.35 or something like that at this point) will start going up. Finally, decided to play the SP campaign yesterday and beat it on Veteran and holy shit was it annoying... As far as the story goes, I hated it... absolutely fairly tale bullshit on IW's part, horrible SP experience for me, but then again, that's not why I got the game...

Also, I don't think I'll be prestiging this time around - there are way too many challenges and levels to do them 10 times over like I did with COD 4-1. If I find out there are real benefits to prestiging, though, I'll probably change my mind.

Loving the perks in MP so far, IW got that shit right.

LMAO a shitty 1.35. I guess Im extremely awful as my KRD is only 0.40 at the moment.

No shit. I was looking at all the shit you can do as far as upgrades and challenges and there is no way I'm going to work for them only to reset them. Instead of the 3 levels for everything, there are like 5 or 6 for every gun that gets you something else.

I'm on a level 5/6 of one gun and it's like 500 kills with it.

I've never really cared about my k/d ratio - it's a nice number to look at - but right now I'm just as likely to go 20-4 as I am to go 4-20 and I'm at a 1.1 or so.

I guess KDR is the only thing I really care about, lol as it's a good way to tell how well you're playing. But, yeah, I'm the same as you as far as going 20-4 or 4-20, well, dying 20 times is really hard, lol, but I get your point. I was absolutely raping people after I got the game that midnight, then the next day I got my ass handed to me a number of times and my KDR went to shit. I hate regular TDM with a passion and it felt like I could finally play the way I want to last night when I went into Hardcore.

And yeah, the challenges are ridiculous. I don't know how I'm ever going get all those sidearm ones, lol. Also, getting the ones for the perks are going to suck, because I don't want to use 90% of them.

I doubt I will either, the benefits seem minor compared to having to go against players with superior layouts.

"The prestige menu text says, 'In addition to your new prestige badge you will gain access to some new titles, emblems and challenges'...

Agree on the perks. My k/d is like 1.1, which isn't too bad for only having played 6 or so games.

K/D ratio is a good way to see how well you're doing. I'm happy as long as I'm around 1.0 - just because it means that I'm not having those 4-20 games.

Yesterday, I was up at a 1.4 and then promptly got my ass handed to me for several games in a row to settle in at the 1.1. I've noticed that if I just try to go balls to the wall, it always ends badly. Had a game last night where I probably died 7 times in a row because I just kept on running and not slowing down to look at what the **** was going on.


One other thing - in COD4 - I primarily used the same perks over and over and over. One thing I'm liking about MW2 is that I'm trying out all the new shit and liking some of the perks. Right now, I'm using the scavenger one which is cool because I never run out of ammo.

I would enjoy a few more create a class spots, but not sure that it's worth prestiging to get.

I used to be all into kill to death ratio especially when playing Counterstrike. I'm not so worried about it with any of the CoD games because normally I get stuck with a bunch of blind Nancies. Plus all of the perks which seem to get in the way.

Have you guys all tried playing together? I know some have, and if you guys are into Hardcore and good communication, I'd be up for playing with all ya'll sometime. I know I see Bucking on all the time, he didn't have COD4-1 for 360, but I'll probably try and play with him at some point in time here, now that he got the right version...

I think you were on my playlist in COD 4-1, you had a really good KDR, no?

I don't play a bunch of hardcore - but I really don't mind it. I just have a tendency to accidentally kill teammates because I get trigger happy lol. I see someone running, the name doesn't pop up right away, I shoot only to find that it was a teammate.

I'd definitely play some hc at some point though and try to limit my friendly kills lol.

Remember that time you made me buy the map packs for WaW?.....Well, it's payback time.....buy it.

Yeah I'll play. Whats your gamertag? I'm not sure who anyone is on my friends list from CP?

By the way, let me ask you a question.

I have about 4-6 groups of people who I play with.

1. My neighbors and their friends
2. My old co-worker and his friends
3. A friend from highschool and his friends
4. My roommates cousin (Donkey fan, bleh)
5. Chiefsplanet people (havent played w/ yet)

Anyways, whenever I play w/ group 1, my KDR is probably like .45, yet they are all really good and we win most matches, but when I play with anyone else, my KDR is probably around 1.3

I have no idea why I suck when I play w/ those guys but its starting to piss me off.

I'm unsure. I don't think I've added you to XBL. Gamertag is chyeahhh son. I honestly don't remember my KDR in CoD4. I also didn't play much MP on CoD5 and rightfully so.

There's about a 80% chance I purchase this game today. I just need to transfer some money from savings, sad, isn't it?

Yeah...sucks when you get old.

I'll go ahead and get this game this afternoon. I don't know how much I intend on playing tonight. The football game tonight is a big game for me, fantasy-football-wise.

None of my RL friends ever played COD4 with me, we played a bunch of Halo 3 together, but when I moved on to COD, they stayed with Halo 3. I got a bunch of shit for not playing Halo 3 anymore, but w/e, I hated having to pick up good weapons as opposed to starting w/what you want. They all stopped playing altogether since they all moved out of Lawrence, though, lol, been offline for months. So I don't really have anyone I play with on a regular basis - I just usually pick up a few good people who actually communicate in pugs and form up a party and go from there...

I never bothered getting that game, lol. I know someone from CP had a good KDR on my list, just can't remember who, I'll look when I get home.

It was probably Kraus aka Trespasser. Dude is nails. I try to keep my shit between 1.3-1.5. I honestly don't know how accurate those numbers are either.

Yeah....he's pretty damn good. I think Pittsie is good as well. If I'm remembering right, I have 2-3 people over 1.7 k/d (if not higher) and I think they are 2 of them.

I'm pretty sure it was you, it was something like 1.48 which is pretty damn good in my book when you're into thousands upon thousands of kills. Now I want to play with Kraus, lol, so I can learn...

Just from experience, be on his team - not on the other team.

Well, yeah :)

Is anyone here good w/ the Sniper Rifle?

I suck at it. I never used it in COD4 except when we did a Snipers only private match.

The Thermal Scope really helps you in the snow (I picked one up off a dead body), so I wanted to at least get my Barret 50 cal up to the point where I have the Thermal scope, but I suck so bad at it.

I did a sabatoge match where I started out 6 to 2 KDR but then I ended the match at like 7 to 18 KDR which really pissed me off.

I never sniped in COD4-1. I probably will in this one, though, since you can silence them now. My whole thing was to never show up on the UAV in COD4-1...

Sniping is a blast, but it takes practice. Give it a shot - especially with the 50 cal. Like Metro said, use all your jamming perks so that you don't show up on the UAV at any point.

Maybe I should wait til the Ninja perk becomes available before I snipe.

Every so often, I'll go with the default sniper class for a kill or two. I haven't run through an entire match sniping yet. I'm waiting until I unlock all the necessary perks before I start. Plus, I'm trying to find good sniping locations in the maps.

2 things to remember when you snipe:

1 - After a kill, keep looking down the sights for a good 5 seconds - used to be only about 3 seconds on MW1, but they've extended the kill cam. This way, when the guy you kill watches the kill cam, he will have a harder time locating where you shot him from.

2 - I try to move locations as often as possible to keep people from locating me. Nothing pisses me off more than when I'm looking down my site trying to locate a target and someone walks up behind me and knifes me. I usually try to move after every 1-2 kills.

No killcams in hardcore, brah, you can snipe till you know he spotted you. But, yeah, good sniping is all about changing position, unless you're 100% sure nobody spotted you. It's going to be really hard finding those assholes in 4-2.

The best sniping map is derail IMO. Get to the center warehouse, plenty of windows and only two narrow entrances.

I get claymores and Scavenger, set one on an entrance and go to the other side of the building. If someone dies near you, grab the pack and place another claymore at the other entrance. Even if it doesn't kill the enemy it will only take one shot from a pistol or machine pistol to finish.

Metro what is your gamertag? I'm pretty sure you don't have me added to your XBL so I don't know how you'd be coming up with my stats.

Another good gamer (as Plow mentioned) is Pittsie, known as Cannon Fragger on XBL.

Quikies83 is pretty good too...

Oh, that's word.

pants0n

Just played a few games at lunch..... I rampaged on Wasteland, which is an update of Brecourt from COD1.

Ahh so thats you, invite me next time you see me or I'll do vice versa.

Tonight when I go on I'm going to not run-n-gun so much and take it slow and lay back and methodically make my way across the map. I really want my KDR to be above 1.5 and I'm nowhere close now.

Oh my bad, for some reason I thought you were a different gamertag, and I wasn't aware I added you.

Played it lastnight and it reminded me of every other freaking FPS game out there. So glad i didnt get on the hype train and buy this to not p lay it after a few days. lol

Are there any games that you DO like? Besides 2K5 that is...

I think it was you, man, I'm not 100% sure. But I think you added me as MavericoSuave (which was my roommate back in the day) because that's what I had listed 1st when UP did the whole 360 thread. So I added you a while ago when I got my own account...

Yeah man, let's play tonight if you can. Running and gunning in hardcore is suicide, especially when you don't know the maps... I LOVE the intensity it's bringing right now because you, literally, have no ****ing idea where a dude is likely to be hiding.

Also, the KDR is extremely fixable at this point in time, it gets really stagnant when you get 10's of thousands of kills. You pretty much can't really change it at that point...

That game is not meant to be SP, the hype is about MP and if you don't like what it has to bring there, you probably won't like any MP FPS, lol.

I havent played 2K5 since like Jan of 2005.

I like Street Fighter IV (i have over 4000 matches in it. bought it for the ps3 and 360, have arcade sticks for both systems. I like the Star Wars game, its pretty fun for me, Tomb Raider game that just came out and come next Tuesday i will be playing Assasins Creed 2. I like action adventure games. Outside of sports games, they are what i like.

Just by the list you have there I would say you don't like FPS's - which is why you wouldn't like MW2...or MW1 for that matter.

but my dumbass has halo halo3 halo3, GoW 1-2 and Killzone 2 lol i do still play killzone 2 once in a while though.

Buckin' I really like how your GAMRtag is "Lames a Charger" :D

Went through on Veteran last night, and without infinitely spawning enemies and constant grenade spam, it was a cakewalk in comparison to CoD4. There wasn't a single section I replayed more than a couple of times.

I always go through the 1st time on Regular and then go back through on Veteran. Probably going to start that this weekend.

Got owned a bunch of times in Hardcore yesterday. Good times.

P.S. Stinger missiles = air support useless.

I really like how you are bald.

Anticipating fat joke in 3, 2, 1........

I've started carrying a stinger on some classes. Some of those helicopters just rape me every time....so I switch classes and shoot them down.

Buckin, you gonna be playing this weekend?

Did the Chiefs win Super Bowl IV?

Yeah, I'm going to have to do the same thing. Pave Low is a straight up rape machine...

I had around 2.3 K/D in the last CoD.

Do I like tacos?



I'll look for you and we can get some games going.....anyone else interested?

Thats a good idea.

I'm gonna set that up tonight when I go home.

Surprisingly I only played like 5 games last night. I had to get my TV fix in (Office/Always Sunny/The League)

I've got the KU game tonight, but I should be on after that. Probably 10pm, which would be 8p your time.....and I should be on for awhile.

Man, I was getting man handled last night, my KDR dropped to 1.18 and I was getting so pissed at everything... If my friends didn't ask me to go out and I stayed home that night, I would have probably broken my TV with my controller, lol. I hope it goes better tonight after the KU game.

See you on there....whats your gamertag again?

Man. My KDR going into last night was .93, then I got it up to .97, and then started sucking again and it went down to .95

The only thing that sucks now is that its getting to the point where I'm at .95 but I have like 30 kills to make up. I don't know why I am sucking so hard at this game, but I guess last time when my KDR was .35 after 1500 deaths and I made it up, I can do it again. I haven't played an FPS since I quit playing COD4 some 16-18 months ago.
