yea from what i've heard any of the prestige challenges carry over from prestige to prestige. i've decided to (for now) focus on one weapon primarily each prestige. got all but the 1000 headshots challenge on the M4.. probably do the SCAR or ACR next.

aw shit just got a nuke at wasteland

1/12/2010 12:50:13 AM

For you guys getting these really long killstreaks are you running and gunning or mostly staying at a particular location and sniping. Also, do harrier kills and other streak perks count towards your killstreak?

1/12/2010 7:52:00 AM

i was trying to get the emblem with ac130 shooting flares by ending a game with an ac130 kill cam

so i got it on my second match within the first 2 minutes and it didn't migrate the host

mother fucker

i got it again on the next match on rust for god's sake but my team sucked so much ass we lost even though i brought it out

then i went prestige and lost my killstreaks

From what I understand, everything counts except for things that come in crates. So, sentries do not count and nothing that you get in a care package counts.

1/12/2010 11:11:19 AM

Apparently I missed TT in the zone last night

Funny, he always seems to play better when I'm not around

1/12/2010 11:19:04 AM

i've tried using sentry gun on maps like favela and terminal but it never fails the whole other team rushes to where the package is and spams me with semtex

its like hey look at me that's why i rarely use it anymore

harrier is so easy to shoot down but the other team rarely has a guy carrying a launcher by default - it is a greatly overpowered killstreak so i always use it

Both

Pretty much anything thats not dropped in a crate counts...if I'm lucky I only really have to get a killstreak of 5 with guns and claymores, then if I can hit 2 people with a Predator that unlocks the Harrier, and if I can kill 4 with that, its Chopper Gunner time

^^I think I play better without a mic

1/12/2010 1:31:29 PM

DaBean has the perfect setup when we play with him...he has no mic so he plays well...and we talk shit on his behalf after the match

1/12/2010 2:12:07 PM

Played last night for the first time in 3 weeks.

I was awful. Couldn't get comfortable in my new living room setup. Couch is too far away from the TV. Not optimal for gaming.

"i think i have only seen one person do it and they just refilled their rifle grenades with one man army adding danger close and claymores is quite a combination well terminal is the perfect map for n00b tube but i'm sure this combo would work well on most maps except maybe wasteland"

I tried the kit in that video a few times last night and wasn't particularly impressed. I mean, I supposed if you're playing a map like Terminal on Domination and you know exactly where a bunch of enemies are going to be the infinite noob tube would be great, but I find it easier to get a 5 kill streak with a gun rather than having to keep resetting the kit. I'm sure this guy is a lot better than me at this game, but to me, the kit really didn't seem all that impressive.

Haha yeah I let you guys handle all the trash talkin.

I would use a mic but I generally play after my gf falls asleep beside me on the couch...so I use headphones and cant talk...in case you guys were wondering why I never have a mic.

1/12/2010 4:43:56 PM

I suck at the TDM Express or whatever its called

I like the shorter time between matches but it seems like there are no n00bs at all so its harder

1/12/2010 6:56:14 PM

I hate TDM express. I change my classes way too much.

1/13/2010 12:28:06 AM

after playing Hardcore for a couple of months I went back and played a game of GroundWar - I dont think Im ever going to stray from Hardcore again

1/13/2010 12:40:42 AM

I stick to Ground War for the bigger teams (more killing potential, despite more dying potential) and HTDM. I like not needing to worry about Coldblooded or silencers aside from people getting air support.

Current level is 58, highest killstreak is 24, K: D is only like .8 as i sucked when i first started.

1/13/2010 6:42:13 AM

I would have really liked this game had I the opportunity to play Also it tends to be the center of my SOs attention for about 23 hours out of the day... I really hate this game just because of those two things

1/13/2010 7:50:40 AM

I got a nuke last night in Invasion...I use a riot shield with marathon, lightweight, and commando until I had a 4 kill-streak (air drop canister)...then just ran around the entire stage and beat everyone to death with the canister in my hand...I must admit it was the most fun I've had so far!

Huh?

1/13/2010 9:04:43 AM

Its a small "glitch" that allows almost super speed if you have an airdrop canister in your hand and move around the map. A little cheap, yes, but hilarious to hear all the 12 year olds in the lobby after the match

1/13/2010 10:01:26 AM

commando is a gay perk.. i hate people who just run around and knife...

1/13/2010 10:03:28 AM

^^yep. The intent was so that when you earn a air drop reward you have the ability to sprint very quickly to cover in order to pop the red smoke and reap said reward, however people are exploiting that functionality. Combine that with marathon pro, lightweight pro, and tactical knife, and it's a bit absurd. I've never tried it but may have to one of these days.

Enjoyed playing with some of y'all last night. I started off really well but then must've been tired or something b/c I was having a tough time those last couple matches.

" Infinity Ward Announces New "Momentum System" For Modern Warfare 2 This morning, Robert Bowling (@fourzerotwo) tweeted that a new "Momentum System" would replace the killstreak system in Modern Warfare 2, setting the internet abuzz. To the best of this GGM editor's knowledge, no modern video game has ever made such drastic changes to its core multiplayer structure in this manner, and you, dear reader, are in luck. Only GGM has the exclusive details about what you will see when the next title update hits on January 20th for both Xbox Live and Playstation Network. No More Killstreaks Yes, you read that right. Those precious killstreaks that you spend hours camping in the corner to earn are all going bye-bye. In their place is a brand new "Momentum System," which rewards you for actively, yet smartly, pushing on objectives and playing as a team. In practice, it's very simple: every time you earn a kill, capture an objective, plant a bomb, or do anything to help your team's cause, you gain points to fill your momentum meter. When your meter reaches key points, you can choose to "cash in" your meter for one of those precious bonuses, like a UAV, Sentry Gun, or the dreaded Chopper Gunner. But be careful: cashing in your meter will cause you to "spend" all of the points you've currently accumulated, bringing you back down to zero. So you'll have to decide if you think that a UAV now is better than a possible Predator Missile later. Lest you think this isn't fair when compared to the old system, wait until you hear this: getting killed will no longer reset your streak. That's right. If you die, your momentum will not be reset to zero under most circumstances (Bowling tells us that suicides or teamkills in Hardcore modes will reset the meter to zero). Rather, you'll incur a penalty to your meter. We pressing Bowling to tell us exactly how much you would lose, but all he would say was "it depends." Apparently they have some super-secret formula which takes into account what exactly you were doing when you died. For example, getting killed while running around in the open would cause a greater loss than getting killed while pressing on an objective. Speaking of deaths, we were also very excited to learn about the new "Noble Sacrifice" accolade, which rewards players who risk their lives to complete objectives. Said Bowling: "We noticed that many players wouldn't play aggressively because death is such a huge punishment in this game; the new 'Noble Sacrifice' award takes this away." Simply put, if you and two teammates work on capturing a flag in Domination, but you get killed while trying to grab it, as long as that flag is captured for your team, you will get a "Noble Sacrifice" message and won't incur a loss of momentum. This works in all objective based modes, and will hopefully encourage the more cowardly of you to actually put yourselves on the line for your team. But this brings us to the biggest change in the new system: Team Momentum. Not only will each player have an individual momentum, but so will each team. This momentum will swing back and forth as the match progresses based on how well each team is doing relative to the other. If the bar swings too far in one direction, one of the more devastating momentum bonuses will be automatically released. Yes, you guessed it: the dreaded "Tactical Nuke." In fact, the nuke is no longer an individual reward. It can only be earned by the team as a whole and serves as a sort of "Mercy Rule" for those highly lopsided matches. "We always viewed the nuke as a sort of mercy rule anyway," Bowling told us, "and we were very disappointed to see the way that the community reacted to its inclusion. With this new system, we feel that the tactical nuke will fit more naturally into the flow of the game." We got to go hands-on with the new system in an exclusive event held only for GGM, and we walked away incredibly impressed. While Team Deathmatch games felt almost identical (and, in fact, are essentially unchanged), the objective-based games felt like new life had been breathed into them. Personally, I was overjoyed by the newfound usefulness of the Riot Shield, as using it properly can now actually earn those precious bonuses we've all come to love. This feels like an entirely new game, one with a greater sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Obviously, the true test of this update will be when it releases next month to the incredibly vocal and picky Modern Warfare community, but the general consensus around the office is that we're sold on it. Be sure to check out our video section for exclusive footage of the new system in action."

is this for real?

this sounds like a GREAT idea - but how will momentum work in team deathmatch?

i'm guessing it will have to be based on kills and people will still worry about K/D

this will make communication even more important - too bad no team chat on ps3

1/13/2010 12:06:52 PM

^^^He says your momentum won't be totally reset if you die but instead you'll just incur a penalty to your momentum, if you receive the "Noble Sacrifice" thing you won't incur any penalty at all

I still want to know of this is legit, making this big of a change to a game in an update is pretty risky/drastic
