how the hell do i get throw-backs. instead of another prestige i have decided to get all of the pro-perks first and i need 2 throw-backs

2/14/2011 9:25:40 PM

haha, lots of frustration and time

run into the shitstorm chokepoints on maps where nade spamming happens a lot, and be ready to die a lot

I found I did the best playing Domination, and got a lot of throwbacks underneath the rocket in Launch

Staying on the pistol in the gun game and stabbing is pretty fun. I went 20-19, all 20 were stabs. The other guys were annoyed, I demoted one guy 8 times.

2/15/2011 10:06:26 AM

thats how i play sticks and stones, but with the tomahawk

2/15/2011 10:19:09 AM

I like to imagine the nerdrage I induce when I go on a rampage with the tomahawk.

2/15/2011 10:25:14 AM

I'm on my 3rd prestige and have never unlocked the tomahawk.

Am I missing out?

2/15/2011 10:25:32 AM

go play some sticks and stones in the Wager Match section just to try it out, the most you have to lose is 10 cp unless you finish in the top 3

2/15/2011 10:27:00 AM

I like it in FFA matches... only using the ballistic knife and tomahawk. I have a video of it on my file share (FFA on Stadium) where I won the game with only blades

2/15/2011 10:27:41 AM

Haha my friend is stuck on the same one

Maybe I'd we party up eventually well get thrown on opposite teams. I think he plays with you guys, he has the tww tag. He only needs one though

2/15/2011 10:59:21 AM

Twice now I've jumped out to such a quick lead in gun game where I'm on the ballistic knife and the #2 guy is only at lvl 12 or so. So I just run around with the ballistic knife humiliating fools until there's less than a minute left. By knifing everyone it prolongs the game big time. It's the most fun I've had playing this game so far. I dropped this one guy back from the china lake all the way to the LMG before the M60.... talk about nerdrage. Best match was 17 stabs and still got 1st place.

2/15/2011 11:11:35 AM

my roommate, i, and another friend party-up then play gun game and only knife people. you want to talk about nerd rage.

we also play one in the chamber and all get into the same room and don't kill each other until time runs out. people usually get pissed and there is always a bunch of rage-quits.

2/15/2011 11:18:04 AM

Gun game knifing is so last page

I hope everyone watched my 17 stabstreak

2/15/2011 2:55:26 PM

zombies is really addictive. I didn't like it at first but after a few games i really got into it.

2/16/2011 10:37:49 AM

2/16/2011 10:46:11 AM

since we're talking about tomahawks, here's my shitty clip from a week or so ago in sticks and stones

never mind the final failure, it won me the game



^awesome flamethrower usage. you run it regularly?

2/16/2011 11:08:43 AM

i have been for the past week or so since i prestiged

i wish it had like 5 feet more range, a lot of times im just barely too far for it to kill a guy that is shooting at me

2/16/2011 8:26:38 PM

so weird question for ps3 players

am i the only one that gets a numb left thumb from playing too much? i run alot and jamming on that controller just deadens my nerves or something.

2/16/2011 10:04:23 PM

probably doesnt help that the left stick on a ps3 controller is ergonomically incorrect for pushing down and upward for 90% of your playtime

2/16/2011 10:34:46 PM

no, but i have a problem with accidental knifing because the switch is too sensitive

2/16/2011 10:37:25 PM

Real men play on tactical

2/16/2011 10:40:47 PM

^^^^ nope.

2/16/2011 10:57:04 PM

stop whining

2/16/2011 11:05:39 PM

Tried out the jammer for the first time

Seem to get way more kills than with the motion sensor

2/16/2011 11:20:49 PM

Also, thought this was a pretty sweet crossbow stick

2/17/2011 7:22:31 AM

that semtex to the face is pretty solid...in the first video however, i dont know what im even supposed to be looking for

2/17/2011 7:56:16 AM

The levitating RC Car?

2/17/2011 7:58:40 AM

i thought somebody jumped it or something i guess, its just hard to see for more than a second or so

2/17/2011 8:00:12 AM

Excuse me, Steven Spielberg

2/17/2011 8:02:06 AM

how do you use the jammer to get kills? like a bug zapper? I always try to find the source when someone is jamming by perk or equipment

I had a pretty sweet start to one TDM game last night with the Olympia...like 6-0 start, all double kills (1 kill per barrel), death, then 4-0 again. Damn replay started when the match was 3000-1000 because of a host migration after I called in my Cobra

2/17/2011 8:19:49 AM

I just kept setting it up near the B flag. I guess dudes get confused when their radar is scrambled, because no one ever uses the jammer.

2/17/2011 8:24:27 AM

my first attempts at using theater mode...

Chuck Norris uses the Roundhouse Pro perk which he earned by (1) Knifing 1,000 enemies in the throat in one game of Free-for-All, (2) Ripping the testicles off 45 Attack Dogs and feeding them to his enemies, and (3) Jumping out of 10 Chopper Gunners with no parachute, roundhousing his enemies to death as he neared the ground...to this day, Chuck Norris still has never heard of Call of Duty

2/18/2011 1:26:59 AM

here's some weapon versatility for you people

I was trying to get Hardline Pro but none of the n00bs i was playing with would pick up my care package.

^that's pretty awesome

Forgot that I had a 'one shot two kills' with the Olympia last night. Might have to go find that.

Sharing SAM turrets and sentry guns counts toward your total. After I realized that, I set all three as my killstreaks and knocked that shit out in two matches.

2/18/2011 11:16:27 AM

And now, because it's slow as shit, I'm going to rank the maps from the perspective of a guy who plays 90% domination.

Firing Range -- A bit unbalanced, it's way easier to control C & B than it is A & B, but perfect size and layout for a good pace.
WMD -- Most balanced map, campy sniper spots have good counters. Big map, but there's traffic pretty much everywhere.
Grid -- Too big, but no one uses the big field in the back. Lots of variety, open spaces and CQ.

Jungle -- Early on this was my worst map, went like 1-20 every game, but it's grown on me as I've improved. C side (sniper rock & the hut over B flag) is the more dominant side. Chopper gunner absolutely rapes on this map.
Launch -- Also hated this map early. Still hate the stupid rocket launch, and there are probably too many camper spots, but lots of good CQ gameplay.
Hanoi -- Probably the only map where you can easily hold A & C. Makes for pretty wide-open matches.

Radiation -- Used to like this map a lot more. Probably too much action happening in the B flag tunnel, no one uses the edges of the map. The ground-level window on A side makes holding that flag way too easy.
Havana -- Starting to like this map more and more. Some matches are great, some matches are full of guys sitting in the windows over B. Other than Nuketown, probably the hardest B to cap.
Cracked -- Super campy map, but I really like it. My second favorite B to cap at the start. You can crawl up the hill where you're still hidden from view and they almost never find you. Also a good map for nading A or C.
Villa -- Easiest B to cap, especially if you know how to work the cart and wall near the flag. Always fun to crossbow dudes in the windows overlooking B and C. Too much unused space, though.
Crisis -- B is a bitch to cap because of dudes hiding in dark corners, and the beach at A can turn into a shitshow. Probably my least consistent map.

Array -- Too big, too slow.
Summit -- Most unbalanced map in the game, C side is infinitely more advantageous than A side. Was one of my favorites early on, had some of my best matches here. Now I fucking hate and seem to play it twice as much as any other map. Too few paths through the map, all of which are too narrow. Caping B by laying behind the computers on the C side is always fun, though. Also, what the hell were they thinking with the chopper gunner on this map?

Nuketown -- More like AK74utown!! Don't know where to put this, probably fits between groups two and three. If you can get B early, you're set. If not, you're probably going to go 4-50. Don't think I've played a match here in a month, though.

New maps in order:
Kowloon -- Starting to warm up to this one. A lot more fun now that I know where all the windows are.
Discovery -- B is rough, way too many long lines of sight. The flag that's not on the ice cave side is too open. Probably more camp spots on every flag than any other map.
Stadium -- I don't think I've had a good match here yet. Gives Havana a run for its money in the hardest B to cap category. Best looking map, though, in a game full of dreary maps.
Berlin Wall -- Too big, too slow, too many two-story buildings. No-man's land is a waste. Dumbest B flag in the game.

2/18/2011 12:15:47 PM

ffffffuuuuuuuuuuu

was trying to upload another clip and i was messing with my xbox live profile...hit "Gamertag" and it backed out to the dashboard

Sticks and stones is fucking frustrating sometimes...be leading the game the whole match and finally get bankrupted with like a minute to go

And now a wrap up of the maps from someone who finishes top in the lobby 90% of the time

All Maps:

I > you

lol, kidding I <3 you all. Oddly enough, other than the hateraid of some maps (I really don't have a problem with any of them, you know fung shewi, adapt, all that other Tom Cruise from Collerateral bullshit) Pretty spot on.

2/19/2011 1:10:36 PM

lol, fung shewi

nice

2/19/2011 10:55:51 PM

Been running the M60 with extended clip...idea courtesy of the5thsoth

Feels good man.

2/19/2011 11:16:16 PM

thoroughly enjoying running around with a suppressed SPAS-12 .... havent really used shotguns in MW2 or this game until recently

2/19/2011 11:20:59 PM

^I use the Olympia and love it sometimes.

Got your party invite hey now, but I was rolling with darthmattino at the time.

--

After a series of epic fail games, I watched a replay of a guy who beat my ass and got dogs on Nuketown and adopted a play style of territorial camping/patrolling and otherwise only traveling on the very edges of the map, avoiding high traffic areas. Used FAMAS, taped mags, red dot, ballistic knife, hardline pro, warlord pro, hacker pro, and of course tomahawk. Went like 5 or 6 straight games of getting dogs , scoring 20-30 kills and 3-9 deaths.

2/21/2011 11:03:20 AM

How are the controls on the wii? I'd imagine the gameplay has potential, but the graphics would be lacking.
