on all my loadouts at the moment, i have:

P1: Bling Pro
P2: Cold Blooded Pro
P3: Ninja Pro

w/ Bling, I always use Silencer with either holo or ACOG sights. with cold blooded and ninja, it makes for a fun time - no one ever knows you are there unless they actually see you directly. they can't see you on radar (with uav or by gunshots), the heartbeat monitor can't detect you, and you have no footstep sounds. no choppers/ac130s/sentry guns etc can see you either.

i don't truly love any of the P3 perks, and wish I could use stopping power, marathon or hard line along with bling and cold blooded.

anytime i use a new weapon, i obviously go with something else other than bling, like marathon or scavenger, just to work on upgrading those perks.

i also like using the stinger as my secondary to take down enemy craft (esp. uav) - but i've noticed recently how freaking big the thing is on other players. kinda goes against the stealthy approach and probably gives me away more often than i realize. i know the enemy craft can't see me, but i like taking it to help protect/cover for my teammates.

i really can't get into the MP on this as much as i could 4. i dont know what it is but something is just...off

11/23/2009 9:49:05 PM

^^ i use the exact same setup. i shoot down helicopters, harriers and pave lows as soon as they show up. it must piss off whoever calls them in really bad.

heres for some happy fun times

Mini-Uzi w/ rapid fire
Scavenger
Lightweight
steady aim

pretty much unlimited ammo. fun as hell to run like the wind around the map. and the uzi puts out some pretty nice firepower (the fast movement makes up for the extra bullets you gotta put into em)

11/24/2009 12:08:25 AM

How does the game picks maps in multiplayer? Does it rank them based on how often they're vetoed or something? I'd assume it would be random but it doesn't seem like it certain maps (Estate, Terminal) come up A LOT more often than others, Afghan never comes up and I love that map

11/24/2009 12:43:19 AM

Does Rust only come up for FFA?

^^yes.

11/24/2009 1:06:04 AM

did terrible tonight in mp. Every game I was a half second behind the enemy players...so I would shoot them and die, then watch the kill cam and see that I never even shot at them. The only way I could get kills was to sneak up on people or wait for them to come. Really frustrating

11/24/2009 1:07:46 AM

^Had the exact same problem man, tried for an hour or two, couldnt get a good connection to save my life. So tired of being killed because of laggy nonsense. I think I may just throw in the towel until the matchmaking is patched or fixed somehow.

11/24/2009 2:39:24 AM

KD is at 1.09...up from 1.08 yesterday...but down from 1.11 the day before

Luckily in that same timeframe, my accuracy has gone from 18.38% to 18.65% to a solid 19.05%

11/24/2009 3:22:50 AM

wayyyyyyy too easy with my p90 + rapid fire, marathon, lightweight, ninja, tactical insertion

i can run laps around the map while they're playing the game and kill people from behind silently lol

This is no joke. I can't count the number of times I thought I was hidden, but then see in the killcam how the Stinger gave me away (usually while crouching behind an object).

It's very irritating how in this game it seems that there can be a great inconsistency in how "destroyable" or "shootable" some cover is. Two examples come to mind - the interior of the office building on Highrise, and specific sections of the airport on Terminal. Shooting through office cubicles shouldn't provide much bullet resistance at all, but there are some sections on both sides where, even with FMJ and Stopping Power on the FAL, I can't kill someone standing right behind a single wall. I also couldn't believe yesterday when I saw a guy squeeze into what looks like some kind of glass enclosure (almost like a phone booth?) down on the Spetnaz' bomb side of Terminal, and I lobbed 2 rifled grenades into the front of the enclosure and he didn't even take any splash damage. Seriously? A 40mm grenade against a glass partition? That guy sat in his hidey-hole for a good long time before someone finally killed him, and I don't know how they got him out of there.

When you go to the MP lobby, in the left margin about 3/4 of the way down, does it say: "NAT Type: Open" or "NAT Type: Strict"?

If it says "Strict," that's your problem. Mine used to say "Open" and just this week somehow changed to "Strict." The same thing happened to some of my friends and we don't know why. It also creates a lot of problems trying to form parties. I did a bunch of googling and people will tell you to forward ports and change firewall settings on your router, etc. but all you have to do (for Xbox) is go to: System Settings>Network Settings>Test Connection.

Once you run the test and sign back in, your NAT type should have reverted back to "Open" and you'll have much less problem matchmaking.

11/24/2009 8:23:14 AM

^haha yeah, that's not quite what i meant. But since you mentioned it, my NAT is strict...but it's been that way through 4, WaW, and now MW2. It's because i'm on wifi, i've forwarded the ports on my router and have tried dozens of times to do it through my modem but always get rejected...I'm just biding my time until i move into my house and i'll be directly wired in

WTF is the point of going into FFA with a buddy and teaming up on people? That kinda shit was rampant last night. The first time I realized what was going on was on scrap yard when I'd flash and clear the token camper in the office building. I'd run in, pop one guy, then turn to keep moving and get killed by a second guy in the same room. I kept thinking, how the hell did they not see each other?? Turns out 2 guys would just go find a spot to camp and sit pretty much back to back so no one could sneak up on them. 3 different lobbies had kids pullin that crap.

11/24/2009 9:49:35 AM

One of those things thats fun to do, but sucks to go against

11/24/2009 9:53:08 AM

but how did they get into the same lobby? it had to have been a random alliance b/c you can't play FFA when in a party i thought.

11/24/2009 10:00:39 AM

just pull up your friends list and 'join game in progress'

11/24/2009 10:06:49 AM

ah yes, good point. i forgot about that end-around

11/24/2009 10:13:34 AM

Mine is like .77... but it was .60 because I played Demolition and Domination way too much early on and actually tried to help win the games instead of camping for kills.

Since I switched to TDM it's probably been right at 1 or a bit higher. I am like 130 deaths behind right now so it's going to be hard to catch up I think.

I'm sure I'll play a lot the next few days since I'm not going anywhere for Thanksgiving...

11/24/2009 10:14:12 AM

1.25 here, only play groundwar and occasionally 3rd person team tactical. (PC btw)

Before creating a RIOT shield class: 2.13

After creating a RIOT shield class: 1:21

^ lol

Its worth the sacrifice though

11/24/2009 12:17:37 PM

Riot Shield is fun as hell but yeah it fucks up your KD...thats why Slave is way too pussy to even use it

But its cool that you get XP points for just taking damage, being a distraction, etc...and usually if you're running around after somebody and you have the shield and they realize they can't shoot you, they'll give up on you...thats when you pull out your secondary and blast them

Accuracy is more important than KD anyway, although I'm sure the inaccurate sprayers would disagree

11/24/2009 12:22:52 PM

once i got the AUG my accuracy went to shit because all i would do is lay down suppressive fire while taking flags in domination, though my KD went way up.

The problem i'm having in general is that every game i play i have 5x more assists than the next guy, either i just suck or i'm still the only one not using stopping power. Everytime i die the other guy seems to be using stopping power but my killstreaks don't kill anyone. Go figure


I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

11/24/2009 12:27:17 PM

accuracy ain't shit. sometimes you have to lay down suppressing fire in objective based games so that your teammates can gain ground or take objective points. just because you didn't hit anything doesn't mean that they were wasted bullets.

11/24/2009 12:28:47 PM

But when you do hit something, they definitely aren't wasted bullets. I'd hope when you're laying down suppressing fire, you're at least actually firing in the general direction of the enemies

And is that how some of yall play every single game? In TDM do you just spray bullets all over the place? Or do you try for a couple bursts at their upper body to actually be efficient with your ammo?

I mean if you just have trouble sometimes getting the sensitivity of the joystick down and miss some shots like that I can't say anything. But if you intend to just spray bullets around and not hit anything, thats just retarded

11/24/2009 12:32:49 PM

that depends on what gun i have and how far away they are

i tend to always get into close range combat because i can't really sit in one spot and defend for more than like a minute and selective fire is never effective there. i think my accuracy is pretty high though especially considering how low my KD is.


^for example on underpass(?) that flag thats on the bridge always has some one trying to snipe from that warehouse next to those silo looking things. I'll fire on whoever is sniping in there even if i know i have almost no shot at hitting them with an LMG from all the way over there. To me getting the flag is more important than me boosting my stats.

I'd probably switch to my riot shield class, and kneel on the bridge and try to take the flag...hopefully they don't get a grenade behind me before I get that 150 point bonus

I'm usually firing into the hiding places behind buildings and boxes where the enemies either hide or where they would try to attack someone at the flag from. keep in mind, I only do this with an LMG while playing domination or headquarters.

shooting randomly into the air just gives away your location and gets you killed.

11/24/2009 1:43:38 PM

the only time i really spray is if i'm in close quarters and come around a corner and see someone. I usually unload my entire clip into their center mass without thinking twice. I almost always am in the crouch position. If i have a bead on someone or see someone across the way i usually do a three fire burst with any weapon. It's one reason i love the M16 and Famas so much, their burst fire and accuracy are great

11/24/2009 1:49:51 PM

I don't give a fuck about my k/d ratio. I love playing with my riot shield. Ri0t sHizZieLD 4 LYFe!

I love it when the guy unloading his clip into my riot shield gets killed by a team member.





I wonder how a squad of all riot shields would do in TDM?

11/24/2009 4:06:15 PM

Shitty

Its like a bunch of Steve Nashes playing together

You need an Amare to make it work

11/24/2009 4:08:29 PM

hahaaha It would be like 300

To make it work you'd have to all get back to back, like Slave and his friends at a reverse circle jerk, so that you'd protect each other's vulnerabilities. But one well placed grenade would be like a quintuple kill

11/24/2009 4:11:18 PM

should make a tww riot squad

11/24/2009 4:13:56 PM

both are useful...obviously trying to hit something is one thing...but saying that spraying bullets in an enemies general direction is a waste is just stupid.

There are plenty of situations where your team is trying to cross a road or get into a building but they can't because of an enemy sniper...if you spray bullets at his general hiding spot keeping him from peeking over to pick off your guys...that is in no way a waste. that is what MG's (support classes) are for really...why else do you think you can fire off 200 rounds without a reload?

You aren't trying to aim for the guys head you are trying to keep him from showing himself and firing back. Bigger Picture > individual play....thats what FFA is for.
