No details just yet, but it's tentatively set to release the fall of 2009 (probably in November). I'm guessing the game won't be titled "Modern Warfare 2," but that it's just merely a contextual clue as to the return of Infinity Ward to the modern day battlefield.
More digital camo, airstrikes, choppers, and hopefully some more guns, like the ones featured in Rainbow Six and GRAW. The Call of Duty series is now the best FPS gaming has to offer, in my opinion.
A very short gameplay video has been released for Modern Warfare 2. BONERTIME:

It does seem to have some really cool-looking environments. I'm wondering how that snowmobile level will turn out. I find it interesting that they dropped the Call of Duty name from the title. I'm guessing they just had so much success with the first one that they want to make it it's own franchise.

I'm down with that. I wonder if the new game will use cover, like in Quantum of Solace, which was made by one of either Infinity Ward or Activision or Treyarch. I thought while I was playing the 007 game (which is mediocre at best) that they built the cover mechanic into that game strictly for a trial run for any more upcoming Modern Warfares.

Games with cover are a blast. Rainbow Six, Gears of War are two examples that did it really well and probably others too. Call of Duty has always made itself be very good without the cover. I'd be a little weary of it if it went away from that model. Call of Duty has made itself extremely hard (on Veteran) because of that lack of cover (And a barrage of 50 gernades always flying at you). You need to know exactly where someone is before you shoot them, as opposed to you being able to see them around a wall from a camera that isn't First Person (Probably shitty sentence but you get what I mean, I hope). I wouldn't be completely opposed to it, but it would be something I would be a little worried about.
A couple things I would like to see them change:
1. Enemy Respawning- In CoD:MW and CoD:WaW, enemies would continuously respawn unless you moved forward to some imaginary line. Your team would never move to that line so you'd have to, sometimes in enemy fire. This imaginary line almost makes shooting at people a waste of time. I'm sure they can do something to make this better.
2. Dying by your own gernade (specifically multiplayer)- I understand the reason for it. However, they need to either change it to where your gernade kills you and everyone (regardless of the team) or to where it doesn't kill you (for regular core matches). It's pretty stupid that your gernade can kill you but if a teammates lands next to you it doesn't. That one is one I'm not sure is completely feasible but it's an idea.
3. Bring Shipment back (or something like it) - I know IAN doesn't like it too much but on HQ, it is a blast. I played there 3 times last night and went a total of 180-80 (K/D) in those. I think my last one was 79-23. That map is a blast and if you get it going right, you can work people over and it just brings me to a laugh. Get 5 kills, drop the airstrike. Die before you call in the helicopter. Respawn, call it in, and do it all over again..

Something is being done about that, but you won't get it from Activision or Infinity Ward. Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will be all manner of knock your sack in the sand awesome when it comes to AI.

I think it's pretty evident that you're not supposed have your own grenade land at your feet. I hate it, too, but if I'm dumb enough to throw a grenade into a wall that I'm trying to throw over, I deserve the death.

I hate this map. I always can only get a 50-30 record or so on this. Until I go off for 90-30, then it's fun. I haven't had a good match on this level in ages, but that's because I never play headquarters on it and I haven't had three frags as a perk until the other day. Three frags is a must on this map. It's damn near impossible to get a streak going with just your weapon (because I suck).

I would play Shipment 32-player Deathmatch on the PC version sometimes to take care of a few of the weapon challenges I knew I'd never use (most of the SMGs, for instance) and would generally be something like 150-50. It was just a matter of being lucky enough to spawn and not die fast enough that you could go prone and aim at the spawn points for a while. You definitely had to go in expecting to spawn 5 or 6 times in a row without being able to move before you die.
As for the cover, I don't really think they should put it in. If they do, it has to switch to third-person, which I think would take away from the immersion a bit. I do really like cover systems in third-person games, but not so much in first-person.

God help me, I agree. It's also a different (and much more fast-paced) game than Rainbow Six or Gears specifically because it
doesn't have cover.

I do really like the more tactical, slow-paced shooters, but agreed, CoD is definitely not one of those. What I do hope is in the new game, however, are more missions like the sniper one from CoD4. However, I hope this time you actually have some freedom and don't pretty much just stick to a very linear path, having to do everything a very specific way or else you fail. While that level was incredible, it had the potential to be 100 times better.

Crawling through the grass in between those tanks and troops was a very tense, fake, and awesome part of the game. And I'm not big on sniper missions. I have always been someone who likes a nice M4 and some gERnades and kill the fuck out of people who are 10 feet away. Yes, I'm a loser.

Going back to the cover mechanic, I was speaking more along the lines of the single player incorporating cover. Thinking about it a bit more, CoD is not even remotely a tactical game. It's basically a straight corridor FPS with outstanding cinematics that make up for the lack of choice in how you complete objectives. But, let's be honest--in no way am I getting Modern Warfare 2 for the single player (cover mechanic or not), although it usually doesn't disappoint. It's all about the multiplayer.

It's unfortunate how many games do what Call of Duty does, which is throw in a bunch of really awesome set pieces and triggered events that make you think you're doing something way bigger than you actually are. It's the same as how a lot of games give you really cool animations, but actually limit your control. Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia (the new one) come to mind as games that give the illusion of these really elaborate move-sets, but basically just wind up as the player holding down the A button for a while. I think that's also why the MVP series was so great, because they had a very limited set of animations, so (specifically) fielding was all about letting the player have control, whereas these new elaborate animations take control away.
Have you heard anything about what the AI and gameplay of OpFlash is going to really produce? I know that Codemasters has been working on this game for a while now, and as I'm sure it'll look visually outstanding (as in GRID--they're using the same graphics engine), they are really confident about enemy and team AI that will far surpass anything in the military FPS genre.
I apologize...I just can't hide my school girl excitement for this game.

It sounds awesome, but I'm pretty sure Codemasters is just trying to get everyone on the hype train. Usually, when a developer plans something "cutting edge" for their game, it either A) is nowhere near what they said it would be or B) is filled with bugs.

QuoteInfinity Ward's eagerly anticipated follow up to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare hits retail shelves this November, but the sequel is being featured in the latest issue of Game Informer right now.
And that means highly coveted details on Modern Warfare 2 went from print to internet at lightning speeds. Game Informer subscribers and advanced recipients who already have the issue in hand have revealed information on the game, which is said to be set a few years after the events of Call of Duty 4. In Modern Warfare 2, players will tackle a Russian terrorist threat in icy locales—where snowmobiles in war makes sense.
But don't count on cooperative play during Modern Warfare 2's story mode. That multiplayer option looks to be limited to the game's "Special Forces" mode, which is described by Infinity Ward president Jason West as "in the spirit of [the] Mile High Club" mission from Call of Duty 4.
West also describes the gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 as "wide open and has a lot of variety." But expect a similarly linear story, one just a touch longer than that of its Infinity Ward-developed precursor, because West contends that "any good story is on rails."
For more details and some spectacular looking screen shots of the game in action, pick up the newest issue of Game Informer as soon as you see it.

Anyone else get that new Game Informer yet? I read the article yesterday on MW2 and it sounds pretty awesome. They talked very, very little about multiplayer, but they did discuss the new Special Forces mode. Instead of having co-op for the main story, they have a large number of separate missions without narrative (like the airplane mission on COD4) for co-op play. They're really difficult scenarios where players have to use a number of different cooperative tactics to finish, and they sound pretty awesome. Should add even more replay value to the game.

I love replay value as much as the next guy, but what about the digital recall memory on the Humvee missions that was missing from CoHJ4? I was reading this website called JLS7 and it was saying how if you do a mission, then finish a mission, but you don't hit the back top button followed by the lower top button, it wouldn't remember the checkpoint, then you'd have to START OVER AGAIN AT THE PREVIOUS SPOT. How annoying? I'm hoping the game makers make a double glitch fix and I can download it and get that mess figured out. I'm sick of spending 6 hours straight up killing dudes, then having to spend another 6 hours killing them again.

They're really difficult scenarios where players have to use a number of different cooperative tactics to finish, and they sound pretty awesome. Should add even more replay value to the game.
I love replay value as much as the next guy, but what about the digital recall memory on the Humvee missions that was missing from CoHJ4? I was reading this website called JLS7 and it was saying how if you do a mission, then finish a mission, but you don't hit the back top button followed by the lower top button, it wouldn't remember the checkpoint, then you'd have to START OVER AGAIN AT THE PREVIOUS SPOT. How annoying? I'm hoping the game makers make a double glitch fix and I can download it and get that mess figured out. I'm sick of spending 6 hours straight up killing dudes, then having to spend another 6 hours killing them again.
That's some of the funniest shit I've ever read.
This is so much better than any dig I would have made at TDubbs.

Well this looks to be quite awesome:

You can now customize your kill streak abilities just like any of your other loadouts. The only new one they show is being the gunner of an AC130 above the battlefield after getting an 11 kill streak. There appears to be quite a few unlockable kill streaks. BONERTIME.
Yeti, you might be interested in this from Modern Warfare 2: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1015604p1.html (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1015604p1.html)

One of the biggest games of this holiday season, Infinity Ward's follow-up to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, was shown off in a behind-closed-doors session at Gamescom 2009 this year, with a focus on the co-op special ops mode. From the main menu you get the option to dive into single player, multiplayer, and special ops modes, which according to Infinity Ward means that special ops is just as important a mode as the other two. It's a completely separate mode too, meaning it doesn't link with the others for unlocks or anything like that, and in it you've got the option to play split screen locally, solo, or online with a friend.

Edited to add:
It also appears that you can edit your kill streak perks; i.e., they don't have to be at 3, 5 and 7 kills anymore. You have three kill streak perks you can set and at any kill streak benchmark. Additionally, the kill streak bonus perks get increasingly advantageous as you set higher kill streak benchmarks.
So, for example, I can set kill streak benchmarks at 4, 8 and 11 (or 6, 7, and 8 or 2, 9, and 12, and so on), which have the risk/reward of being better kill streak perks as an opposing player who might have set his benchmarks at 2, 5 and 6. Not a bad idea at all.

Sorry about the DRLP of epic proportions, Weebs. But, in that video I posted, you can see (at the end, where the guy throws the knife) that the knife-throwing player has a SCAR equipped with a supressor AND a dot sight. Multiple attachements...bonertime. My guess is that it probably takes away your first perk, like the noob tube.

And I think the video you meant to post is the one I just posted. So much confusion. But the point is, this game is going to be fucking awesome.

Some interesting stuff about the weapons that are supposedly added...
"Thumper" Grenade launcher - You don't like nood tubers? Get ready for guys running around with 12 shots of grenades to lob at you, or more, instead of 2 (or 4 if you have overkill).
I am an old veteran of the Socom series, it was just as hated as the 203 punks.
Auto Shotgun - Totally different from the one in COD now that gives you only 4 shots, i think it gives you 12 or more rounds. It will be considered a noob weapon from day one.
1887 Winchester - A good old western shotgun. I hope it punches holes through walls.
The weapons list doesn't seem to have the bolt action sniper rifles or claymores.
EOtech sight -
QuoteHolographic weapons sight provides an unobstructed wider field of view. Achieves an effectively infinite parallax free distance. No magnification
Thermal sight - Snipers in the grass can now be seen, throwing smoke doesn't help you anymore either. If its anything like Socom it will be the most common sight used by players.
Heartbeat Sensor - Pfftt what are we Colonial Marines now? But COD did have radar and red dots to show you where enemies are. I guess this is added to counter act UAV Jammer.
Laser module - In all the games i have played it says it adds accuracy but never acts like its real life counterpart. You should be able to see the laser in certain situations and it can give away your position. The laser should be easily seen in nightvision, much like in the single player missions in COD. Who knows if they can get that to work in Multiplayer.
Perks -
I like the one Death Perk, if your killed 4 straight times you get triple health for 10 seconds. You can counter UAV, activite a sentry gun, call in a predator strike, care package (drops in a random kill streak that can be picked up by anyone) and well if you can get 11 kills in a row you get command of a mighty AC 130 gunship.
I just hope they boot players after 3 team kills like i heard on COD:WAW.

I'll just add this, so it doesn't seem like I'm agreeing with anything that you have to say, I cannot wait for this game. It will be amazing.

Is this the automatic shotgun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM-26_LSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM-26_LSS) The XM-26 LSS (stand-alone auto shotgun) appeared in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and was the titsteaks. I agree with Gil. This game will rock dick.
Anyone know of any benefits to preordering this game? I've found that you never seem to be in jeopardy of not getting a game if you don't preorder, so that's not what I'm looking for. Mainly just curious if there are any special deals to be had by preordering.

Since this game will probably be the best seller of all time, you might want to preorder just so you will be guaranteed a copy on release day. If you care that much.

I highly doubt he's going to have a problem finding a copy of the game when it's released. It used to be that way with some of the huge titles because they never shipped enough, but nowadays the only ones you will find sold out are limited releases like the Beatles: Rock Band Special Edition. Every store that sells video games is going to have like 300 copies of MW2.
I know some places offer pre-order specials, but for MW2, the most you'll find is a t-shirt or something like that. Some other games have exclusive deals with Gamestop or another company to offer DLC only if you pre-order there, but MW2 isn't one of them. The only real reason you'd need to pre-order is if you want one of the limited editions of the game, or if a store has a special on pre-orders. I know a couple weeks ago, Best Buy had a deal where you get $10 off any game $30 or over with a pre-order. Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Xbox-360/dp/B00269QLI8) is running the same thing right now.

It wasn't even hard to find the Beatles special edition. There were dozens of them in Best Buy on release day.
The only reason to pre-order any game is if you want a special edition. Halo 3 was easily available if you wanted the basic edition. For some stupid reason, I really thought the Legendary Edition was going to be worth it. It wasn't, and for that matter no special editions are worth it.
Anyways, I'm super excited for MW2.
Also, IGN has a preview of some handguns and micro SMGs.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/103/1032917p1.html
In general, it's a filler article having guys splooge over handguns like they use it in real life. The .44 Magnum is a nice addition, that's pure man-shit.
I'll be interested to see how the Akimbo Perk works out in multiplayer. I can't imagine many players wanting to dual-yield in COD4, and depending on the maps presented in MW2, what would be the point?
Well, when I picked up OpFlashpoint, the guy at Gamestop scared me into preordering it by telling me that they have 400+ reserves at their location alone. Oh well

GameStop puts too much into pre-ordering, probably because they are struggling so hard they would the early revenue stream prior to applying any costs. I'm sure stores that don't put so much emphasis on it like Best Buy, Wal-Mart or Target will have plenty.
Anyway, I'm off work the whole week of the release, so I'll be down for some gaming.

They've pushed pre-orders for years. It's just a way to "guarantee" money.
The only money that's guaranteed is the $5 restocking fee if you don't claim your preorder 48 hours after release.

That's why I put "guaranteed" in quotes. They (Gamestop at least) want you to pre-order games because they can look at it like a full game sale weeks or months in advance. I used to work there, and other than used games, there's nothing they push harder than pre-orders. At the very least, it's like $5 permanently circulating in their system because people often pre-order another game when they pick up the one they had already. And it must just be the retail chains like Best Buy/Target that have that re-stocking fee when you don't pick up a game. Gamestop just keeps it in their system. I had a Halo 3 pre-order still in my name like a year after it came out and I just put it towards some other game I bought one day when I went in.

No, it's GameStop too, homes. From their website:

I think we're missing the point: we're complete dorklosers arguing over GameStop policy. And, this game is going to be titty steaks awesome. So, Yeti, preorder if you want. There's no real advantage other than getting a special edition or a code for a gun, which isn't necessarily gauranteed to be a gimmick by Infinity Ward just yet. And, if they do offer codes and such, chances are you'll find all such codes on the teh interwebs.
Post 1907. Wow. I suck.

Yea. I might return my preorder. I need about $300 bucks to retain my RewardZone MasterCard Silver Membership. So, I'm going to need all the purchases at Best Buy that I can get.

I don't think Best Buy is that strict with their Silver Membership policy.

See, that's what I'm hoping, but I can be almost positive that will never happen, or at least that's not the goal of this IWnet thing. The main problem (other than hardware complications between consoles and PCs) is that the PC gamers will have such an unfair advantage over the console users that there would be almost no way to off-set the reaction speed of the mouse/keyboard.
I think the matchmaking service is going to be based mostly off of Steam's system, which is a great idea because the in-game stuff they had for World At War on the PC was terrible. I don't think Infinity Ward will come out and say it, but I think they're doing this almost entirely for the DLC. For the PC games, they haven't been able to charge for the COD Map Packs, because there's no real way to do it when some people buy the game off Steam, some buy it retail, etc. But now, if everyone is forced to play the game through this IWnet service, Infinity Ward can control everything as far as server authentication and that sort of thing as opposed to whoever owned the dedicated servers. Now if you want the newest Map Pack, you pay $10 through IWnet or Steam. It's really a good idea for them, but it completely changes PC gaming and takes away what is ultimately the best thing about it.
On a related note, the company I work for has been selling pre-orders for MW2 servers for several months now, so they're going to have to refund all that money and lose out on what will likely be thousands and thousands of dollars in sales. Looks like ol' Weebs may be out of a job soon!

If that's the "huge secret," it's pretty lame. I don't think I would ever play that mode unless there was something else about it that was actually cool.

I don't know or care about "big secrets." Modern Warfare 2 will rock even if it's played in seventeenth person on the planet Xenodorfopolis in the vega mushroom starburst cloud nebula Penisdoom.
But, seriously...it can't hurt that the game would be played in third person. It's just another cool nuance that adds a pretty nice layer of depth to a game that will rock my face off.

Probably secksbox. However, getting it for the PS3 is appealing. I just don't know if I can justify 2 of the same game.

Activision and Infinity Ward are going to make a fortune on this game. You know every single night-vision goggles edition of that game they make is going to be bought, and that thing is like $150. Add on the millions and millions of regular $60 copies they sell, the special MW2 edition Xbox 360, and everything else...they are going to make out big with this one.

This controller thing is going to take a lot of getting used to. I've played 3 or 4 matches online and have had my ass handed to me. Not good.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm finding the single player is difficult to the point of being annoying. I'm in the streets of Brazil, and they basically just throw a shitload of guys at you from all directions with absolutely no indication of where they are. I've even lowered the difficulty to Regular and I'm constantly dying. This one part in particular, just when I think I've found some cover, there's a guy that popped up right behind me and I'm dead again. The game's cool, but godammit if it's not hard as hell. If they throw a mission in here that's anything like the Ferris Wheel one from the first game, I might break a controller.

How do you guys maintain healthy relationships with females? See, a sports game at least takes a finite amount of time. This? You could conceivably play for hours on end with a bed pan 'neath ya. No lie, Weebs and Yeti have not stopped playing this game yet today.

I do have a relationship with a female. It just happens to be that b/c of distance apart, both working full-time jobs, and me going to school makes it to where we see each other on the weekends mainly, with a few exceptions

I'm married. She knew what she was getting into.
(Only played for two hours last night.)
Okay, so care packages. I think they're a massive WIN. Getting a four-streak and having that thing drop and it might be an AC-130 or predator missile? It's the steakballs.

I actually took it off my kill streak list. I unlocked the turret and the harrier. Of course, I've had a 5-kill streak like once so far while playing, so god knows if I'll ever get to use any other ones.

Those weekend trips to Niagara Falls must be rough.
Also, the difference between a game like COD and, say, Madden is minimal. Gameplay is different, but how long you can play? Same thing. From what I remember, a sports game can take 25 -45 minutes to play, depending on the type, length, etc. Matches on Call of Duty are 15 minutes (most of the time they're shorter anyway. More like 10 minutes.) So, one could easily play 3-4 matches in the time it takes someone to play one sports game. The difference that you were talking about it personal choice, not what game you play. If I popped in Madden, I could easily play it for hours on end if I chose to. It just doesn't make sense to justify your playing sports as somehow less crappy than our choice to play COD.
I, admittedly, played it for quite some time yesterday. I also took the day off. As far as the game, IAN, I agree with you. Those care packages are nice. I unlocked the Emergency care package (8 kills) and used one. It drops 4 care packages. In there was an AC130, Precision Airstrike, Harrier, and Ammo. I got the first 2 before someone killed me and took the last two. That one is kind of risky as the time for the plane to get there is longer and enemies can try to get to you. Also, make sure you have a big clearing b/c they're slightly spread out. The game is good as it's balanced really well. There's a shitload of stuff to complete. The single player is still retardedly difficult.

THIS. A thousand times, THIS.
I agree that the multiplayer is balanced really well and they took pretty much all of the faults of the first game and fixed them. My only complaints right now seem like they could be network-related. I've watched a few kill cams, and I'll be getting shot even when their crosshair isn't on me, or there's a slight delay so on that cam, they shot me before it showed up on my actual game. Hell, I got one of the game-winning kills and on the cam at the end, I sniped the guy despite having my crosshairs about 2 feet off of his head. Either these are just a few hiccups because the servers were so busy at launch, or it's just a problem with my own connection. Regardless, the game is fun as hell.
The "controversial" level took some serious balls. Good job, Infinity Ward. I'm playing on Veteran until it gets too tough, then I'll bump it down. I don't think it's unreasonably hard yet, but I haven't made it too far.

I agree, but I also think they wasted the impact of this level (and most others) through really bad storytelling. I mean I was able to figure out why this level was so crucial to the story, and the kind of impact it had, but the mission briefings are really bad at giving you the information you need. You just sort of get these guys talking about sometimes-unrelated crap, and then you're thrown into chaos. And unfortunately, most of the people in the media will probably just see that airport mission with absolutely no context or understanding of how it fits into the story, so they'll just look at it as a tasteless attempt at getting some shock value from Infinity Ward.

You go through an airport with some machine guns and just mow down civilians. Probably a few hundred people killed. Doing something like that is a little risky seeing as how every school shooting (or sometimes regular shootings) are blamed on the video games.

The good news is, Infinity Ward does a really good job about giving you the option to just skip it, as opposed to making you play through the level. Also, if some kids can get a bunch of machine guns into an airport, then we've got a lot less to worry about than a video game level.

Yeah, I specifically didn't jump into multiplayer last night because I had to meet a client this morning and didn't want to get drawn in and stay up late.

ah, ok. That makes complete sense.
You want to know how far I got in the story? I was in the opening credits of it, waiting patiently (because I like to kind of see the cinematics they produce leading up to the first mission). I was hoping that my gamertag "so-n-so is online" popup would go unnoticed by my friends once I jumped online. Nope. Couldn't even finish the opening cinematic before I was bombarded with multiplayer requests. I mean, I just couldn't ignore that.
I see what Slak's saying. Once I get wrapped up in the multiplayer, especially with some onloin nerd pals in a game like this, it's damn near impossible to tear me away.

I'm a big fan of the new maps, too. They've opened them up, added some verticality and range. The only problem I have are the couple maps with all the houses and buildings to go through. It's a camper's delight...I hate getting surprised with a shotgun to the face.
Since y'all are probably playing on XBox, I'll tell you about the manifold problems with the PS3 version of the game. First, the invite system was changed. Specifically, you have to send a message to a friend and then he has to open his inbox in order to join. Much worse than MW1.
Second, the PSN servers are down today. So, that really sucks.
Other than that, steakballsauce.
I've been playing Spec Ops and they're a lot of fun. A few of them really require a lot of teamwork, and the results are awesome when you and another person have a good strategy. One of the first missions where you have to sneak and snipe your way through a forest is particularly awesome.

It gets a bit easier after Rio, at least the few missions after it. They finally give you a few spots where you can have cover and take a minute to regroup.
In the campaign, I've made it as far as being the gunner on the humvee in the very first chapter. I got to the ambush and received a party invite. Oh, well.
The multiplayer is just that good.

Yeah, that's been the thing about the level I'm playing (where you're chasing the guy through the streets). You pretty much have to keep moving, because guys will keep spawning all around you.

There's one particular spot in that level where I died about 20 times. It's a checkpoint that starts you inside a building, and to go forward you have to climb a ladder up onto the roof. Immediately as you go towards the ladder, there are guys shooting from above. Then if you manage to climb out, you're getting shot at from every direction. There's really no way to keep moving in that part, and no cover up on the rooftops, so I had to spend a lot of time ducking in and out of that building until it was safe enough to actually climb up the ladder.

Go back out the door you came in at... Immediately take a right and hide from the alley you just came from. Kill the 2 guys on the roof on the right. After that, creep out to the right a little more. There will be 2 more guys.
One on a lower roof and another on a high roof with a rocket launcher. Kill those two. Advance forward and there will be guys on a roof around that next corner (3 to be exact) work on killing them, but be aware that there will be 1-2 guys who come back on the bolded roof. Once you take care of them, start advancing, but there are plenty more ahead. This game is one in which you have to get a good assessment on where someone is, pop out, and shoot them extremely fast. They always seem to be able to target you first but quick movements are the way to go. It gets pretty cool as you go on as the fight takes you to D.C.
As far as the spawning, there is a limited amount of that. Unlike the previous CODs you don't have to advance past an imaginary line for people to respawn. There is an end to it.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I could have hid in a room in the city all day, and they would have kept on coming.
As for that ladder part, I took out the three guys on the roof, climbed the ladder, and just ran like hell to the right. There was a cinder block wall there that I got behind. They actually started shooting out the cinder blocks one at a time. It was pretty cool.
I'm very interested in the fighting in American settings. That's got to be pretty surreal.

FH, How are you winning so many matches? I think your ratio is 1.59, while I think mine is 0.60. Do you have a few guys you play with and do very well with? Or do you have a certain game you guys do?

Yes. But that's also a good match for me.
Over in PS3 land, I have gotten up to Level 38. KDR is about 1.45, but my win ratio is about .80. It is very difficult to win in these games, as most of the people playing right now are focusing on a conservative (i.e. camping) game, rather than pounding the ground and securing objectives.
I expect that to change within a week or so, as the first wave players get closer to the higher ranks.
I did kill a guy with a crate this past weekend, so that was nice.

My KDR is still below 1.00, but since I've changed the sensitivity on the analog, I've been doing significantly better. I also screwed myself over by trying to get the thermal sight on the .50 cal because you need to get 20 kills with the ACOG sight, which I found nearly impossible with that gun.
I think my win ratio is a lot higher, but I usually only play TDM, and it's with mostly the same group of guys.

I've been an absolute beast with the MPK5 and the M4. On the former, I have the holo sight and extended mag, with the stopping power pro. On the M4, I have the holo sight and the FMJ, with stopping power pro. That is a complete killer, usually one shot to take someone out.
Some other notes, the sleight of hand pro and lightweight pro are worth obtaining. They help considerably when you are running and gunning.
The Stryker is great too. Good distance for a shotty.

Since we're sharing our progress, I'm a level 45, I think. My KD is 1.10. I have some of those missions where you go 2-10. I think I now have over 2000 kills, and almost half of those are with the M4. I got the mastery with that. Getting the FMJ mastery is quite a bitch to do. As far as perks, I've got pro on all the blue ones, except One Man Army which I unlocked just before I went to bed last night. My preferred classes (when I'm not trying to complete a challenge) are Bling Pro (holo and silencer), Cold Blooded, and Ninja. I don't really like being seen on radars. I'm a big time flanker, so when you have those things on, if they don't physically see you, you can come up from behind and rail their asses. I love railing asses.

My K/D is somewhere just above 2.00. I usually like playing Headquarters because that's where I'm most effective. I have several maps that I just love, but there are some where I play super conservative and wont' venture out alone. I find the care package drop is my most rewarding killstreak. I have no idea what my win ratio is, though. I'd imagine it's pretty low; probably below 1.00.
My favorite setup is the M4A1 or the SCAR-H, both with Semtex grenades, holographic site, sleight of hand and stopping power pro. I've yet to even locate FMJ. When is it unlocked? I think I'm only on level 24. The M4A1 is money, especially with sleight of hand. I tried going to Bling, but I hate not having the fast reload because I usually have an irrational habit of reloading after every kill.

My K/D is somewhere just above 2.00. I usually like playing Headquarters because that's where I'm most effective. I have several maps that I just love, but there are some where I play super conservative and wont' venture out alone. I find the care package drop is my most rewarding killstreak. I have no idea what my win ratio is, though. I'd imagine it's pretty low; probably below 1.00.
My favorite setup is the M4A1 or the SCAR-H, both with Semtex grenades, holographic site, sleight of hand and stopping power pro. I've yet to even locate FMJ. When is it unlocked? I think I'm only on level 24. The M4A1 is money, especially with sleight of hand. I tried going to Bling, but I hate not having the fast reload because I usually have an irrational habbit of reloading after every kill.
FMJ is unlocked after 300 kills with the weapon.
Is it Bilbo?

Over in PS3 land, I have gotten up to Level 38. KDR is about 1.45, but my win ratio is about .80. It is very difficult to win in these games, as most of the people playing right now are focusing on a conservative (i.e. camping) game, rather than pounding the ground and securing objectives.
I expect that to change within a week or so, as the first wave players get closer to the higher ranks.
I did kill a guy with a crate this past weekend, so that was nice.
My KDR is still below 1.00, but since I've changed the sensitivity on the analog, I've been doing significantly better. I also screwed myself over by trying to get the thermal sight on the .50 cal because you need to get 20 kills with the ACOG sight, which I found nearly impossible with that gun.
I think my win ratio is a lot higher, but I usually only play TDM, and it's with mostly the same group of guys.
I've been an absolute beast with the MPK5 and the M4. On the former, I have the holo sight and extended mag, with the stopping power pro. On the M4, I have the holo sight and the FMJ, with stopping power pro. That is a complete killer, usually one shot to take someone out.
Some other notes, the sleight of hand pro and lightweight pro are worth obtaining. They help considerably when you are running and gunning.

I love to rail asses.
I'm starting to dislike playing in matches with mostly high-level players. It seems like a majority of them do nothing but camp.

I said I sniped a lot in that game. Sniping sometimes equals camping, but I always moved around as much as I could in that. There's almost no way to move around and snipe in any game, especially Modern Warfare.

If you think getting FMJ takes a while, wait until you try to get the extended magazine. For those scoring at home, that's 40 kills through walls or other barricades. Guh.
I've found that sleight of hand works well with the LMGs, mostly. I really don't feel a need for it in any of the other gun classes, and I reload after each kill or after most shots. I guess I find having two attachments versus a marginally faster reload time to be more effective in my game.
And yes, the campers are becoming annoying, especially now with the silenced sniper rifles. I feel like I have to check every single corner when I'm running, because I think that there is a guy hiding in every nook and crany.
PS - Does anyone else find the AC130 gunship hard to use? I can't seem to get ahold of how to use that effectively.

I've found that it's been pretty easy to use. At estate, I think I got 10 kills with it.
Just use the 2nd gun. If you want you can switch from the big, to the middle, to the small and just cycle but if you time it right you can use the middle one over and over and just wipe the team out.

I didn't find it difficult, I just couldn't do much with it. What's really awesomesteaktitties is the chopper gunner. That's where you really rack up some kills. To me, that's the one that can get you to 25 if you can manage to stay alive while you're manning the gun.
As far as Bling goes, I'll probably use it if I ever play hardcore. But, in regular core and playing a lot of HQ where there could wave after wave of enemies coming at me, I like the quick reload. The holographic sight is all I need.
ETA: I realized I don't have your tag, Gil. If you want to give it out, send me an IM. If not, cool. Yeti and I manage to get in a game at least once a week.

From what I've gathered, your kills while using a killstreak award don't get added to your current streak. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen it work that way yet, and I've got a care package @4, got an AC130, used it for many kills, didn't die while on the ground, and I don't recall seeing my Emergency drop available.

Come to think of it, Yeti might be right. I've noticed the same thing. I have the sentry gun as one of my killstreak perks. It usually racks up kills, and it certainly would get me to my next streak, but I would never get the bonus. Interesting.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, I'm pretty sure kill streak perks add to your current streak. I had streaks of 3, 5, and 7 set originally. I got to 5 kills, used my Predator Missle, killed two with that, and it got me my Harrier Strike at 7. I just know you can't cycle back through your streaks. So if you get to the chopper at 11, unless you have a streak higher than 11 set, you won't get any more perks until you die.
On another note, I was just playing TDM a bit, and I've started to really like using the M4 Bling with ACOG and Heartbeat Sensor. I might switch to Cold Blooded at some point too, because the sensor seems to really let me get the jump on guys, and it has a fairly decent range of where it detects enemies, so I can get some long distance kills with the ACOG sight.
ETA: Looking at Yeti's latest post, I'm guessing you guys mean a kill streak perk you get before you die won't give you a new streak after you respawn?

I think it's a good way to even things out so average players like myself can't get nukes easily. Also, it prevents stuff like I used to do in the old game (MW1 and WaW) where I'd get the 7 kill award (dogs or heli) and wait til I die to use it to start a new streak on the next spawn.

I'm starting to dislike playing in matches with mostly high-level players. It seems like a majority of them do nothing but camp.
Goddamnit, Weebs. In a thread long, long ago (I think it was the W@W thread) you said all you do is camp. How's it feel, pussy?
I said I sniped a lot in that game. Sniping sometimes equals camping, but I always moved around as much as I could in that. There's almost no way to move around and snipe in any game, especially Modern Warfare.
If you think getting FMJ takes a while, wait until you try to get the extended magazine. For those scoring at home, that's 40 kills through walls or other barricades. Guh.
I've found that sleight of hand works well with the LMGs, mostly. I really don't feel a need for it in any of the other gun classes, and I reload after each kill or after most shots. I guess I find having two attachments versus a marginally faster reload time to be more effective in my game.
And yes, the campers are becoming annoying, especially now with the silenced sniper rifles. I feel like I have to check every single corner when I'm running, because I think that there is a guy hiding in every nook and crany.
PS - Does anyone else find the AC130 gunship hard to use? I can't seem to get ahold of how to use that effectively.
I didn't find it difficult, I just couldn't do much with it. What's really awesomesteaktitties is the chopper gunner. That's where you really rack up some kills. To me, that's the one that can get you to 25 if you can manage to stay alive while you're manning the gun.
As far as Bling goes, I'll probably use it if I ever play hardcore. But, in regular core and playing a lot of HQ where there could wave after wave of enemies coming at me, I like the quick reload. The holographic sight is all I need.
ETA: I realized I don't have your tag, Gil. If you want to give it out, send me an IM. If not, cool. Yeti and I manage to get in a game at least once a week.
That's because he's on the PS3. GEEZ!
D'oh! Sorry, Gil.
Come to think of it, Yeti might be right. I've noticed the same thing. I have the sentry gun as one of my killstreak perks. It usually racks up kills, and it certainly would get me to my next streak, but I would never get the bonus. Interesting.
I think it's a good way to even things out so average players like myself can't get nukes easily. Also, it prevents stuff like I used to do in the old game (MW1 and WaW) where I'd get the 7 kill award (dogs or heli) and wait til I die to use it to start a new streak on the next spawn.
Good Lord, I'm dumb. I never thought of that before.
Now, I've heard it both ways. Some people I've spoken to have said that kills obtained with a heli or sentry gun count toward the overall streak, while others say differently. But the uniform thing I've heard is that you cannot get an award higher than your current unlock on the killstreak, i.e. the nuke. The only time I've gotten the AC130 or the stealth or whathaveyou has been via the airdrop.
And I love the fact that the designers added the feature that when you get a 3 streak, and the UAV, but continue your hot hand without using the UAV, you can wittle down your rewards. Specifically, say you kill 3 guys right off the bat, but don't use the UAV, you kill another and get the airdrop. I love how you'll get both the drop and the UAV.
Finally, are they going to add the regular team tactical? I was in that all the time on MW1. I love Mosh Pit now.

Back to the point about the kills...just yesterday I was playing on Afghan and I was having a very mediocre day. I got a four kill streak and called in my airdrop. Thankfully, it was the AC-130 gunship. I went from 15-13 just before the airdrop to finish 27-13 (that's 12 kills with the AC-130). My next highest kill streak reward would have been the Predator Missile at 5, then the Chopper Gunner at 11. I got neither, but I got 12 kills with the gunship. What my thinking is is that you don't get the kills awarded to your streak if you receive a perk in the airdrop that you don't already have as a set killstreak reward. Meaning, if my killstreaks are set at four (care package airdrop), five (Predator missile) and 11 (Chopper Gunner) and I receive the AC-130 in the airdrop, the game doesn't count any kills I get with the AC-130 toward my streak. I'll have to survive on the map through the duration of my time as the AC-130 gunner, then shoot an enemy on the map to get my fifth kill and the Predator missile. Does that make sense? I doubt it does.
I was close to proving my theory right or wrong yesterday as I outlived my time sitting there with a laptop on the map as I was the AC-130 gunner. I finished getting my kills with it and then retook over my soldier. I had a guy in my sights, hit him a couple times, but he ducked behind the downed airplane in the middle of the map and I couldn't locate him. The match ended just then.
In other news, I got pretty much owned last night. I didn't have many 25-5 games like I was during the weekend.

Good call. I think it makes sense too. And for some odd reason, I was getting creamed yesterday too. I had three or four really poor games. Like 14-25 poor.
I've been enjoying taking advantage of the outside area on highrise. There's a nice spot on the opposite side of the crane where you can walk on a ledge on the side of the building and flank the opposing team. Also, it's probabaly a good spot to use the chopper gunner or AC130.

No, that one has all the tin roofs and shacks, right? (And I think it's "Favela".) That's the South American one. I'm talking about the one with the clay buildings...I can't think of a landmark for it.

Favela. And I'm guessing he means either Invasion or Karachi. I like Invasion a lot, but Karachi is a pain in the ass because of the couple spots where people always camp. And there are a few maps I really have a hard time telling apart. Karachi and Skidrow are a lot alike. I think Skidrow is the more annoying one, if I remember correctly. It's the one where most of it takes place inside apartment buildings. They made way too many spots up high where players can camp behind a wall and pick people off. I like that a lot of the maps are more vertical, but there are some that give way too much of an advantage to the player that's higher up. In general, I think most of the maps are really balanced, and there are only a few I just like to avoid (Wasteland).

Has a tank in the middle? Along with a gas station on one side. Also, has a shop with a couple mannequins on it? Then Weebs is right. Skidrow is cool. I like being in the building with the MG b/c you can sit in that window and have a perfect sight on the library area and rake.

I believe Karachi is the bigger pain in the ass, if I'm remembering right. I think that's the one where you can climb along a few of the rooftops, and there's big bombed-out hole in one of the buildings. Everyone just camps up on top of those few rooftops.
The levels that have super-tight corridors (mostly those apartment ones) annoy me because you can really notice the network issues when it's just one-on-one if both people see each other at the same time. I'll look at a kill cam and it'll show the enemy firing at me before it actually showed it in my own game. I know this is just a latency issue and according to the game, he must have actually fired first, but it's just frustrating when you think the guy should be dead but suddenly you are instead.
Skidrow is the one with the brick buildings. It has a forklift in a garage in one area. I like that one a lot, too. The one Yeti mentioned with the tank in the middle and the gas station on the side is the one I was thinking of beforehand.
Weebs, the high ground is always advantageous for a shooter. That's not the game's fault...it's just science.

I understand they always have the advantage, I'm just saying I think there are one or two levels where the advantage is so extreme, it borders on being too imbalanced once one player/team has that higher ground. You don't want to make a multiplayer that has a very obvious balance issue. Of course, it might not be as bad as I'm remembering a few of them. I'd be really interested to see if Infinity Ward will release their player metrics for this game like Valve did with Team Fortress 2. They show all the maps with dots for every single recorded death at each spot, so you'll see the really big clusters that obviously represented a chokehold, or in some cases, would show a flaw in balancing the design. If you see a map where a large majority of the deaths are in one or two spots, there's some design issue causing it to be an easy spot to die (camping spot, height advantage, etc.).

I enjoyed last night. I had a game later on that was like Weebs' but not quite as impressive. I went 21-0. I think I could have gotten more but our team won the game pretty quickly. Also, about 7-9 of my kills came from a chopper gunner I got from my emergency airdrop.. BTW, when it comes to that Emergency Airdrop, someone pointed out to me that the plan flies in at the same direction you are facing, so plan accordingly.
Also, one thing I noticed with this game that's pretty nice is that it seems to allow you to earn challenges at tiers you haven't unlocked yet. I unlocked the payback tier yesterday or the day before, and when I went in there to look what there was to do, it showed that I had already completed a couple and was on my way to complete a couple more pretty quick. I'm not sure if it does this for the weapons, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

Did the last game do this for the weapons? I used to try to pick up an M14 at every chance in the last one so that when I finally unlocked it, I wouldn't have far to go to get the red dot.
My very favorite thing about this game is the way it stores your kill streak bonuses.

Also, one thing I noticed with this game that's pretty nice is that it seems to allow you to earn challenges at tiers you haven't unlocked yet. I unlocked the payback tier yesterday or the day before, and when I went in there to look what there was to do, it showed that I had already completed a couple and was on my way to complete a couple more pretty quick. I'm not sure if it does this for the weapons, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.
Did the last game do this for the weapons? I used to try to pick up an M14 at every chance in the last one so that when I finally unlocked it, I wouldn't have far to go to get the red dot.

I don't think it does this for guns. I've picked up the P90 and a couple others before I unlocked them, and I'm pretty sure it didn't get me any kills towards the Marksman challenges. I haven't noticed it giving me points already towards a new set of challenges unlocked, but I'll take a look when I open up the next set. That would be pretty cool of it does.
And IAN, the killstreak stuff is pretty badass. I really like the setup I have right now, because it seems like as long as I get to 5 kills, I have a really good shot at getting the chopper gunner. The Predator Missile is a nice bridge between 5 and 7 because that missile will always take out 1 guy, and sometimes 2. That gets me to the Harrier at 7, which is usually good for at least 2 or 3 kills. Then it's an easy 1 or 2 to get to the chopper gunner, which is absolutely badass. I set that perk up a few days ago, but never got to 11 kills before yesterday. I got it twice yesterday and the first time, I think I finished 26-7, and the second time was my 37-1 game. As long as someone on the other team doesn't have rocket launchers, that chopper is unstoppable.

There's 4 types of people you'll hear on that game: 12 year-olds who call you "gay," rednecks who keep talking about the guns, 20-somethings who brag about every single thing they do, and potheads who use the "Joint Ops" title and just talk about how high they are or when they're going to smoke next.

I know what you mean. I'm sure you know this, but just in case you don't once you find out which gamertag all the noise is coming from, you can mute them by hitting start, going to the gamertag, then toggling mute on.
You 360 or PS3?

Yeah, if you see me on we should get into the same match. I don't think I want to play with the guys in here. I play with a dude from work and he's better than me by far but still not as good as these clowns which means it doesn't totally suck. My brothers are the same way - both of them are awesome at this game.
Hang with me Kerm. We can be terrible together.

Things will get much easier when you start unlocking new weapons and attachments. This game, much more than the first, has a huge advantage for higher-ranked players over lower-ranked. In COD4, the best guns (M4 and AK47) were available from the beginning, so you could get by a lot easier with the early-level equipment.

Also, one thing I noticed with this game that's pretty nice is that it seems to allow you to earn challenges at tiers you haven't unlocked yet. I unlocked the payback tier yesterday or the day before, and when I went in there to look what there was to do, it showed that I had already completed a couple and was on my way to complete a couple more pretty quick. I'm not sure if it does this for the weapons, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.
Did the last game do this for the weapons? I used to try to pick up an M14 at every chance in the last one so that when I finally unlocked it, I wouldn't have far to go to get the red dot.
My very favorite thing about this game is the way it stores your kill streak bonuses.
I also like that we're the most hated nerds in this dark corner.
I'm working my way up the chain. Got up to level 6 after picking up the game on Monday night. I suck ass, but it's a good old time unless I have the stupid headset on and have to hear these ignorant kids shout insults at no one in particular.
Sweet. I'll play against you instead of the pros in this thread.
Yeah, if you see me on we should get into the same match. I don't think I want to play with the guys in here. I play with a dude from work and he's better than me by far but still not as good as these clowns which means it doesn't totally suck. My brothers are the same way - both of them are awesome at this game.
Hang with me Kerm. We can be terrible together.
Things will get much easier when you start unlocking new weapons and attachments. This game, much more than the first, has a huge advantage for higher-ranked players over lower-ranked. In COD4, the best guns (M4 and AK47) were available from the beginning, so you could get by a lot easier with the early-level equipment.
So, now that you're ranked way ahead of me AND better than me, it will be even WORSE to play with you? Sounds fun.

I would think it would be good to play *with* people that are good. That way they don't kill you, they kill the other team efficiently, and they can help "protect" you.

Wow, you have a terrible memory, because I think you killed me maybe twice before I sneaked up on you and knifed your face. No, I'm referring to the time when we were on the same team, and you were laughingly ignoring the objectives and doing your own thing, and Yeti and I and the whole rest of our team hated you for it, and I vowed to never again play an online shooter with you. That time.

Ouch.
I've kind of always been that way with the Battlefield series. I like sniping a lot in those games, and the sniper class is pretty worthless for actually trying to capture an objective, which is why I was just killing people. Also, I was terrible at that game the three times I played it.

Here's a pretty interesting take on Modern Warfare 2:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/11/17/wot-i-think-modern-warfare-2/#more-21247
I think it does a good job of showing just what kind of trouble this game will probably cause for the medium, even though it's really just supposed to be an action game where you blow shit up and kill people.
I'm sad that I'm the lone PS3-er for this game.
I also love the irrational hatred Chad has for this thread and its denizens. I don't get it, but I love it.

Did anyone else finish the single-player yet? There were a lot of cool moments, but I got a little annoyed that (SPOILER) pretty much every character you play gets brutally killed at some point.
Nice choice, Infinity Ward.

THIS.
I think everyone was so amazed by the nuke scene in the first game that IW decided it has the same emotional impact when it keeps happening over and over and over again, particularly with characters you play as for about 5 minutes.

It's gotta be dramatic. I really don't care too much about the story. Once I could, I fast forwarded through the cutscenes when it was possible. I did watch the final thing without trying to fast forward it. I enjoyed the game. It was frustrating at times to beat, but not having that "imaginary line" to cross where enemies don't respawn made it much nicer

On Veteran, the Rio level and the level where you have to take the sub were pretty infuriating, but nowhere near as terrible as the Ferris wheel level from MW.
SPOILER (I guess):
I hadn't finished the game, but I read teh SPOILER anyway. I figured as much. I'm at the part in the game just after the explosion in space. Just before that, when Price goes to teh sub, does he turn on Task 141 and the United States? Or, does he launch the EMP that knock the enemey helis down for the Marines to take hold of Washington? I played this last night and couldn't exactly figure out what was happening.

I had no clue what was happening throughout much of the game. But I will say it took me about 45 seconds to realize I was in control of the satellite before I finally realized that I was supposed to turn it.

You're supposed to control it?
Okay, so I beat the campaign last night. Were Soap and Price fighting against the Army Rangers? I guess Price didn't turn in the sub, but what was that all about? I'm very confused. I just know that they get away with a Russkie in a Little Bird. I'm satisfied with the ending, I just wish I knew what the hell was going on during the story because it seemed pretty epic.

Basically, I think Shepard was trying to do his own dastardly deeds, but Soap and Price were the only ones who know what was going on (or at least price did, for a while). I think Makarov, despite being a terrorist, was actually working against Shepard the whole time. While I'm not sure if Price letting the EMP go off actually was to help the people in DC, I do think it was used to expose Shepard. I had a pretty good grasp of it while I was playing, but this just goes to show that IW did an incredibly shitty job of telling the story outside of the cutscenes.
They missed out on a great way to end that level at the airport. Instead of taking one in the head from Makarov, why not just have him wound you and leave, and then you're suck trying to fight your way back through the airport with a whole mess of angry Russians coming after you?

Because then you'd have a chance to explain you're an undercover agent and what's going on. All the Russians know is an American helped kill an airport filled with civilians. Or maybe they still knew he was undercover...this game really sucks at explaining.

Someone dug into the code in the PC game and found mention of three gametypes that (one would assume) are already on the disc and will be unlocked as DLC:
1) VIP - It's the same as the Counter-Strike mode, which if you aren't familiar, has you rescuing and then escorting an AI (or possibly human?) player to a safe zone.
2) Capture the Flag - One flag between two teams. Pretty straightforward.
3) Global Thermonuclear War - Once side captures, I'm assuming, a nuke and the round ends when either the team detonates it, or the other team defends it for long enough.

I think the CTF in the game now has one flag for each team, whereas the new one has one flag total. I haven't tried CTF yet though, so I'm not sure.
How have you guys been doing with knifing people? I did more knife kills in a single match than i ever did in Mw1.
Putting together a sub machine gun, marathon, lightweight, and commando and you can wreck some havoc. Wasteland I think is the easiest map to use this combination on as you can run so fast that you can get around and behind your enemies and just take them out at will.
Skid Row is a good map where speed counts. You can almost always rush the edges of the map and get to the side of the enemy team especially if they are on the side with the playground. The enemy team usually sits in the windows waiting for the other team to come straight at them. That is the map where i got 8 knife kills in that room and no one saw me coming, got the ninja title as well for that.
Afghan is another good map for speed as they like to get on top of the hill and snipe, most times 2-4 people are on that hill early and its just free kills. They just don't think you can get there that fast.
Been experimenting with the riot shield and that is fun but its a test in patience and tactics. I had fun just being a decoy for my team mates and getting a chuckle at how the other team would freak out as i slowly approached them. They would just instantly forget about the 2 team mates behind me and shoot at me, while my team picked them off.
If you want to get a nuke, get harrier strike and pavelow and get it on a map like Wasteland where your team controls the tunnels. At one time you will have a harrier jet hovering over head and a helicopter to cover all spawn points. It's a turkey shoot. The fastest 25 kills you will ever get.
I play under IShockIWaveI, if you want to send a friend invite over. I played a little bit with Irish on headquarters but i tend to stick to team deathmatch.

I've heard of a lot of players using a loadout like that lately. Apparently if you get a care package and activate it so you're holding the flare, you move even faster than if you have an SMG. My friend said he was playing against some guy that had that on with Lightweight, Commando, etc. and the guy was just moving too fast to shoot. He was weaving back and forth and got up close enough to knife my friend before he could land a shot.

I was absolutely tearing people apart with the MPK5, Marathon Pro, Lightweight Pro, and Scrambler Pro. I found it effective at running around and flanking the enemy and then destroying them from behind.
Is it just me, or does the P90 seem really overpowered in this game?
DPD, but I have what might probably end up being a dumb question.
So, I am attempting to get two of the last pro perk rewards, namely the SitRep and the Cold Blooded reward.
I understand the objective for SitRep, but what does the game mean by "Destroy 40 Enemy Killstreak Rewards?" Does this mean I have to destory some combination of 40 planes, sentry guns, helicopters, and airdrops?
Anyone got any clue on this, because the reward for Cold Blooded (No Red-Crosshair or Name When Targeted) sounds pretty cool.

Yea. That's exactly what it means. I was perplexed on how to achieve that b/c you can't really shoot down a helicopter easily with this, and I was thinking you would just get it by knifing sentry guns. Maybe stopping power, but not cold-blooded. Pull out a javelin and do it. To get this one (and I'm working on it now), I am using Scar (or M16) along with the Javelin, and my perks are Scavenger (I like to kill people with random Javelin kills so getting replenished is nice), Cold-Blooded, and Steady Aim (that one's just kind of for the hell of it)

DPD, but I have what might probably end up being a dumb question.
So, I am attempting to get two of the last pro perk rewards, namely the SitRep and the Cold Blooded reward.
I understand the objective for SitRep, but what does the game mean by "Destroy 40 Enemy Killstreak Rewards?" Does this mean I have to destory some combination of 40 planes, sentry guns, helicopters, and airdrops?
Anyone got any clue on this, because the reward for Cold Blooded (No Red-Crosshair or Name When Targeted) sounds pretty cool.
Yea. That's exactly what it means.

I think it might be easy to use the Javelin to take out the UAVs (as they don't shoot at you) and the knife for the Sentry Guns.
Also, you mentioned the SCAR just now. I think that gun is absolute steak sauce if you use it with Sleight of Hand and Stopping Power.

It's even more steak sauce with Bling, using a holo or dot sight and full metal jacket (FMJ). The toughest perks to choose between for me are Bling and Sleight of Hand, the latter being very advantageous to me because I'm a chronic reloader. The M16 is gravy boats, too. I went 44-9 (a nice little Weebs round) with it on the airplane map (not Terminal, but the other one).
What are everyone's killstreaks? I stopped using the care package because any kill reward I get from it doesn't count toward my streak. I moved up my first reward to five, which I thought would be a death sentence. Turns out it's not really that hard to get to. I call in a Predator Missile at five, then that usually gets me two to three kills and sends me right into my Harrier at seven, which usually gets me to my AC130 at 11.
The Predator is fun. It's bonerizing when you see about five red squres huddled in one spot on the map, especially when they're not inside a building.
PS: Don't know if it was covered yet, but you can boost the speed of your Predator Missile by hitting the right trigger. It's a one time thing, though, so you can't slow it down.

I have the same basic killstreak loadout, although I haven't even played the game in about two weeks. But instead of the AC130, I have the Chopper Gunner.

I have mine set at Predator Missile, AC130 (will switch to chopper gunner when I complete the AC130 challenge), and tactical nuke. I'm holding out hope. I've had a couple 20+ kill streaks but not 25 yet. I have considered taking a chance and doing pavelow with AC130. Having those 2 going at the same time will rape and get me to 25 real fast. It's just needing to get a natural 9 killstreak, which is a little tough.

I almost never get more than 6-7 kill steak on a regular basis. What gametypes are you playing?
I just rock UAV, Care Packages & Predator.

I play a lot of Headquarters, Domination or Sabotage. It's much easier to get a kill streak going because you have a good idea of where people are heading/might be camping. What level are you? I highly recommend tinkering with your killstreaks. The most effective ones are AC130 and the chopper gunner. Pave Low is decent, too.
I too have been using the 5 kills benchmark for my first killstreak, seeing as I finished the complete UAV challenge. With regards to the guns, I've been sticking to the SCAR and the UMP45 of late. My KDR has moved from 1.15 to about 1.30, so it's been a positive development.
Also, do you Secksboxers have the Mosh Pit game mode? I love that one.

I've done that a little bit, but I stick to the HQ most of the time. Mainly b/c I can camp near the HQ and pick people off. I'm a little bitch. My K/D is sitting around 1.20. I want it to get above 1.25, and 1.5 would be the ultimate goal but I doubt that'll happen.

As long as I'm in my happy medium of between 1.10 and 1.30, I'm fine. Also, what are the specific benefits of prestiging in this game? I know W@W allowed one to obtain additional custom classes, but is there anything for this game?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you get to unlock an extra custom class slot with each prestige. You also get to keep all your emblems and titles. Everything else resets and you get a fancy little symbol next to your gamertag. I mainly prestige because I like the sound the game makes when you rank up in a match.
What is Mosh Pit? I've seen it down there, but like the whitebread Southern swamprat that I am, I steer away from anything DIFFERENT. My K/D sits at 1.81.

What is Mosh Pit? I've seen it down there, but like the whitebread Southern swamprat that I am, I steer away from anything DIFFERENT. My K/D sits at 1.81.
It's a lobby that plays random game types, Team Deathmatch, Sabotage, Search & Destroy, etc.
I thought that was Ground War?
Ground War is just a big team battle lobby (20 player opposed to the standard 8) that cycles between Domination and Team Deathmatch only
The Javelin glitch is gay. People just do this to piss other people off, right? I mean, that's got to be the only enoyment out of it for them.

IAN and I were in a match last night in Scrapyard (Playing Headquarters) and some faggot who used that thing went 72-68. I know the guy's K/D wasn't phenomenal (1.06) but it pissed me off to kill someone and get blown up by him. Also, there were times were I was a good "50 feet" from him and still got killed by the explosion. I took the strategy once of trying to not kill him when he came at me (we actually chased each other around a vehicle for a few seconds) but I found out that he can still knife when he's doing that. I'd like to see that thing fixed.

I've heard they're working on a patch and that Microsoft is banning people from XBOX Live for a day if they find out who's using the glitch. I don't think they need to go that far...it's just a video game. Instead of banning, we should be able to punch them in the face one good time. The patch should be enough. Maybe the banning is to tide everyone over until the patch makes it to distribution.
Anyway, that fag went 72-68. I went 54-23. I would say half my deaths were attributable to that cockbag being within about a 50' radius of me shooting him. The Javelin is a powerful weapon, so I imagine the splash radius on it is pretty accurate. I just can't stand getting into a game, knowing I just want to have a little fun with the mere hour I have to play, and it be sucked dry by some douche who cheats at a video game.

Where'd you hear that? (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=6469.msg198783#msg198783)
Question - how can you tell if this is going on in your games? Last night we played a few matches and in one of them there were just explosions galore. Non stop. My team would respawn and immediately get blown up again.
Is it fair to say that the glitch was being used in that match?

That sounds about right. If it indicates that you guys were getting killed via the Javelin, then yes that was probably what was going on.

This (http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:_ExjOhPuLrAJ:www.masscomm.loyno.edu/~dmyers/F99%2520classes/Myers_PlayPunishment_031508.doc) is a long read, but I found it pretty interesting. A guy basically trolled and griefed his way through City of Heroes and found some interesting social results. He played within the rules of the game, but he found there were unwritten rules in the MMORPG world that he was expected to follow, or be forced to face ostracism and abuse.
Print it out and take it to the shitter with you.

Slak, a lot of people use it and just shoot it at random locations on the map. For some reason, the Javelin locks on to something and the other players just let it land randomly. That could be it as well as the glitch. It's annoying as fuck.
I just read about another glitch: if you have Marathon and Lightweight as your perks and you take out the care package grenade, you run twice as fast as normal. Weird. Who figures this stuff out?

I got to level 61 last night and began to use the F2000. That is an impressive weapon. 44-21 in the first game with it, 37-9 in the second. Also, the TMP machine pistol is an amazing weapon.

When you are ready for your care package, you have to toss a red smoke grenade to signal the helicopter where to drop it. If you take out this grenade while having the two perks I mentioned, supposedly you run really fast. Faster than any of the perks allow you to.
I've heard that the ACR is getting a lot of love. Personally, I'm in love with the M16 right now. I've picked up a few ACRs here and there (I haven't unlocked it yet), and it's pretty good. Great accuracy, but low on damage. I have the Raffica set as my secondary. I love it. I love railing asses.

I also saw some people using Lightweight, Marathon, and Commando with the M9 Tactical Knife (makes melees faster). They'd just run around all day an knife the fuck out of people. I actually copied that idea when I went to master lightweight. It helped me get lightweight pro and I completed the Commando challenge really easily with this. Now that I finished Cold-Blooded, I am just going to work on weapons. The only perks I haven't gotten the pro class on are SitRep and Last Stand. SitRep seems like it would take too long (destroy 120 pieces of enemy equipment) and Last Stand isn't my style. So, I'm just working on getting 300+ kills with all the Assault Rifles and then I'll work on getting the FMJ mastery done. I might prestige by then though, so it'll be moot as I'm at level 66 right now.
Also, I think the FAL is underrated. Have that thing with Stopping Power and it seems like it's 2-3 shots to kill someone. It's accurate as fuck.

Ok, now I understand about the smoke grenade. It didn't make sense to me when I first read it.
The ACR is great. Compensate it with Stopping Power and you more than make up for its lack of power, at least compared to the M16. I'm telling you though, once you get around to Level 60, do yourself a favor and at least try the F2000 on your standard assault class. It is tremendous.

Commando extends the range of your knife, right? It doesn't give one a new knife, does it? Ditto on the SitRep and Last Stand; I'll never use those.
The FAL is the single-shot gun, right? I've used it once or twice, after having picked it up on the battlefield. It's a decent weapon, but it makes me wish I had an auto-trigger, though.
Also, here's a question for Cold-Blooded, which launcher is the best? I've started using the AT4-HS, seeing as it can vehicle lock and free fire. However, one has to listen closely to make sure its locked on.
Finally, what benefits, if any, are you noticing from using the Cold Blooded pro perk?
I'll hang up and wait for my answers.
Am I understanding this correctly? You can blow up the care package smoke grenade?
Gil,
Yes, it extends the range.
The FAL is the single shot. I'm usually better with automatic rifles (I hated the G3 and M14 in the first one) but I like this FAL, plus the way it reloads is kind of cool.
I like the Javelin the most. It targets aircraft really easily. Also, it can be used on enemies. Like IAN said earlier, you can target a building in the distance and it'll come crashing down, sometimes giving you 2-3 kills.
As far as Cold-blooded pro, I have yet to use it (I just got pro last night and switched to mastering the weapons). I'll do a couple tests of what it can do tonight. One thing that comes to mind is to lie down in a grassy spot near the middle (Overpass comes to mind) and use a silenced weapon to take people out. When they come to find you, they won't see you right away and you can probably take them out again

No, the blowing up thing is basically that video Weebs linked a page or so back. The smoke grenade thing is just about how you can run fast as fuck with it and Lightweight and Marathon selected

I've always been a Sony brand loyalist, so that's why I got the PS3. Plus, the Blu-ray is nice too.
Maybe y'all should think about getting a PS3. My cousins and I are dominating this game lately. And they're 3 hours ahead of me too.

I would, but the fact that I don't want to start over again on a new system, am getting a new HDTV and a couch this week all conspire to prohibit me from getting a Secksbox.
Plus, I don't think I could justify it to Mrs. Gil. She already hates the PS3.

Maybe y'all should think about getting a PS3. My cousins and I are dominating this game lately. And they're 3 hours ahead of me too.
I have one. That's why I strongly recommend getting a 360.
Maybe...maybe.

Am I understanding this correctly? You can blow up the care package smoke grenade?
No, the blowing up thing is basically that video Weebs linked a page or so back. The smoke grenade thing is just about how you can run fast as fuck with it and Lightweight and Marathon selected
Also, damn you gil for making me think about picking this up for the PS3 also so we can tear shit up.

As a dual system owner I echo this loudly. The only games I'll buy for PS3 are the exclusive ones. Basically, The Show. Blu-ray is nice, though.

wait.. Yea. Yea, that's right. Come on LA Gil. Get a 360.
I would, but the fact that I don't want to start over again on a new system, am getting a new HDTV and a couch this week all conspire to prohibit me from getting a Secksbox.
Plus, I don't think I could justify it to Mrs. Gil. She already hates the PS3.
I really want to like the FAL, I really do. But, when playing Headquarters or any other objective based game where I might run into about two or three enemies at a time, I can't justify it. I try to use it on hardcore modes, but those are frustrating me lately in this game. I doubt I'll ever use it. Once I get to 48, I'll bust out the ACR and hopefully I'll get FMJ fairly quickly with it. I'd like to get Bling going on that bad boy with holo and FMJ. Lethal.
I'll take your advice and check out the F2000, Gil. Though, for some strange reason I hate using guns that look weird. It's irrational and completely retarded, but hey...that's me!
PS: Gil, please get a 360.

The Uncharteds and The Show, for me. I mainly got it for the Blu-Ray. PSN just feels and looks terrible compared to XBL. Plus, I hate the PS3 controller in comparison to the 360. It feels so flimsy, and I feel like the shoulder buttons are nonsensically reversed in every game. Why would your main fire button not be the BIGGER button? DUMB.

Charlie Brooker:
QuoteCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the Citizen Kane of repeatedly shooting people in the face.
I don't know what it was, but I had a very terrible weekend on MW2. I couldn't get any sustained offense. I'd get one or two kills, and then like three or four deaths in a row. My KDR dropped badly, hovering now at about 1.16.
By Sunday night at like 11pm Pacific (which was when I saw Yeti on; when do you sleep?), I think I've fixed it by returning to the SCAR. Hopefully.
I can't wait until Christmas. New blood.

I actually turned the PS3 on to watch Generation Kill but saw you were on so I tried to jump in your game. Only one time did it show "Join Session" and when I clicked it, it said it was full. I quit shortly after you logged off and started Generation Kill.
I had some good success on the Xbox this weekend. I got the Akimbo Model 1887's, which as much as I complained about them, they fucking rape. I think I got 65 kills on Invasion with them.
For the PS3, I've played only a little and it's been tough with the dumb trigger button. I'm starting to hold my own, though. Last night, I had some good success.

I got owned something fierce on Saturday morning. Then, I started playing Demolition and started really raising my K/D. I can't play Hardcore on this game...I used to love it on CoD4, but it's too annoying on this one with all the sneaky perks people have that let the run forever while not being detected by any radar while weilding two giant sawed off shotguns.
The M16 is boobsteaks.

I'm at Level 66, so I have one more level until the Model 1887's, which are absolute steaksauce. Those things are deadly.
However, my goal is to reach Level 70 by the weekend, so I can begin to mow people down with the AK-47. I've picked a few up in the field, including one with a red dot and silencer, and the balance and power was perfect.
Also, it used to be common knowledge that the easiest way to rank up was to play Headquarters, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this game. I've gotten massive bonus awards from playing capture the flag or demolition. Any one else agree?

Funny you bring that up. I've always wondered how you get the "match bonus" points at the end of a match. I'll have a round where I'll get 1000 points, then at the end the game will say I got 1578 match bonus points or something...like, "Oh, here's some extra because we like you."

I do. She hates this game. Everything is a negotiation now. "Of course I'll vacuum and do the laundry, provided I can play MW2."
Her text message on the day I bought the game, was "T-minus 1 hour until I lose my boyfriend." Prescient.
However, she is good with enforcing my time on the game. Come 10:30 pm or 11 pm, she'll come in the living room and tell me to come to bed, otherwise I'd miss work the next day. She's right, of course.
And IAN, in one game of Demolition I got an 8000+ match bonus. Steak sauce.

And IAN, in one game of Demolition I got an 8000+ match bonus. Steak sauce.
In my first game of Demolition, I got a 10,000 point bonus. No idea why...all I heard was teh awesome rank up sound and a big "10,000" across the screen.
EIAN enforced martial law last night..."I think you've played enough today. Just watch football." She just can't let me be 13, can she? But, you're right, Gil. If I didn't have a responsible adult in my household, I'd probably be living in my mom's basement combing the interwebz for game testing jobs I only need to work 15 hours a week for.
I saw on another board somewhere out there that the PS3 is getting a patch soon. No 360 love? Maybe that's why Microsoft is banning kids.
I'm not sure what the best game for points is. Games with an objective are usually the best. TDM: there's a limit on kills of 75 or 100 so you can't go crazy. I would think Domination would be high up there. I still like the Headquarters game. Plus, they've added time to the game by making it to where the HQ doesn't go online until 30 seconds after it's identified. That helps to balance the game. I've kind of figured out that the match bonus is based off of your contribution to the game. If you win, and are the highest scoring player, then your bonus is considerably good. I think my best match bonus was 7900 or so. That's a nice feeling when you see that.
I did just get to level 70 last night on the box. I'll have to sample the AK47. I'm disappointed I won't be able to use it for very long since I think I need like 70,000 points to prestige, so that could happen in 10-15 matches.
I picked up an AK-47 and hated it. It kicks a lot. The one I picked up only had a red dot on it, I think.
One extra point I should make note of in my negotiations with Mrs. G for MW2 is this. Allow the significant other to watch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC for any amount of time in exchange for MW2.
Works wonders for me, save for the insufferable TLC commercials and incidental programming.

For me it's trash like So You Think You Can Dance, Girls Next Door, and Real Housewives of (insert city I could care less about). I would ask why on God's green earth women would watch such things, but then I wouldn't get extra sexboxing time.

One extra point I should make note of in my negotiations with Mrs. G for MW2 is this. Allow the significant other to watch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC for any amount of time in exchange for MW2.
Works wonders for me, save for the insufferable TLC commercials and incidental programming.
Just wait for Baby Stories. Oh yes - it will happen to you.
Are you fixin' to be a dad? If so, congratulations, man!
Indeed I am. Girl on the way.

Weebs,
Somewhere along the line, I believe you posted a map showing where people get killed a lot of the time for one of the Call of Duty games. Remember where you got that from? I'd be intrigued to see some of that information for this one.

I didn't actually post a map. I was wondering if IW would release any of their player metrics with those maps like Valve did for Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, etc. To my knowledge, they haven't. They probably never will, either.
I prestiged on Monday night and I found out that there are more challenges after you prestige. First off, there is a whole "Prestige" challenge section that has killstreak awards along with Stun Kill, Flash Kill, and Silencer Kill awards. The Killstreak ones aren't "Call in 10 AC130s" like the actual Killstreak category. It's more like "Spectre I = 50 kills with the AC130". I like this because I like to complete challenges, but I've found that using the Predator Missile is very effective. However, for the Killstreak category, it stops giving awards after 5 predator missile strikes. This way, it looks like you'll keep getting awards.
The other thing I've noticed that they changed was the weapons. They added a "Veteran" and a "Master" challenge. For most of them, the Veteran I says "Get 1000 kills with this weapon". It says it opens a new title. The Master says "Get 250 headshots with this weapon" and ditto on the title. For the launchers, I noticed it said (for the Thumper, so I'm assuming the AT130 (If that's the name), Javelin, and RPG are the same) that the Veteran is "500 Kills" and the Master is "250 kills".
I'm unsure of any other additions, like to some of the other categories (Humiliation, Intimidation, etc), but I'm pretty happy that they added this in there.

That's actually decent incentive to prestige. I'm not huge on doing the gun challenges because I'm not that good with a gun I hate. So, you'll never see me with a shitty LMG or SMG. (The only LMG worth a damn is the AUG HBAR with the foregrip. Tit steaks, that one.)

Eh, still no for me. I like what I have right now and would like to finish off the existing challenges before starting something new. I might use one of my alternate names and use that to prestige, but for my main name I'm sticking with Level 70.

I prestiged on Monday night and I found out that there are more challenges after you prestige. First off, there is a whole "Prestige" challenge section that has killstreak awards along with Stun Kill, Flash Kill, and Silencer Kill awards. The Killstreak ones aren't "Call in 10 AC130s" like the actual Killstreak category. It's more like "Spectre I = 50 kills with the AC130". I like this because I like to complete challenges, but I've found that using the Predator Missile is very effective. However, for the Killstreak category, it stops giving awards after 5 predator missile strikes. This way, it looks like you'll keep getting awards.
The other thing I've noticed that they changed was the weapons. They added a "Veteran" and a "Master" challenge. For most of them, the Veteran I says "Get 1000 kills with this weapon". It says it opens a new title. The Master says "Get 250 headshots with this weapon" and ditto on the title. For the launchers, I noticed it said (for the Thumper, so I'm assuming the AT130 (If that's the name), Javelin, and RPG are the same) that the Veteran is "500 Kills" and the Master is "250 kills".
I'm unsure of any other additions, like to some of the other categories (Humiliation, Intimidation, etc), but I'm pretty happy that they added this in there.
That's actually decent incentive to prestige. I'm not huge on doing the gun challenges because I'm not that good with a gun I hate. So, you'll never see me with a shitty LMG or SMG. (The only LMG worth a damn is the AUG HBAR with the foregrip. Tit steaks, that one.)
Eh, still no for me. I like what I have right now and would like to finish off the existing challenges before starting something new. I might use one of my alternate names and use that to prestige, but for my main name I'm sticking with Level 70.
a wha? Multiple names? Don't you have to level up to 70 each time though?
I have two other names on the PS Network. But yes, I would still have to work through the levels to prestige with them, but I like the comfort of having my guns and classes still present.
It's like a security blanket.

That's cool. I guess it is possible to do that since the PSN doesn't cost any money. As far as my endeavors on the PS3, I'll probably prestige once to get the extra challenges and that's it.

I still haven't played MW2, but have bought 4 new other games and played those constantly and have thrown my controller across the room and broke it like a 3 year old child would and bought a new one, in like three weeks.
Don't act like you're not a loser still'd
I read this morning (on either IGN or TeamXBOX) that the 360 patch for the Javelin glitch (and others) drops today...it already might be live.
Kerm...you still play? Yeti and I ran shit last night. We love to rail asses. Weebs and Slak, you guys play at all anymore?

I haven't really felt like it lately, but, yes, I still play. I'll try to get on later tonight, but I have a bunch of stuff I need to get done around the house, because I have some friends coming to town tomorrow.

I haven't played since before I bought Assassin's Creed II. If I've played anything lately, it's just been a few minutes of Zelda or Mario on my DS. I'll try to get on and play with you guys sometime, but I'm busy pretty much all weekend.

My xbox died and my new place needs nice furniture so I'm going to get one of those
MW2 elite packages
Why, are you going to use the box it comes in as a chair?
No, I'm going to play xbox while my wife buys furniture.

I read this morning (on either IGN or TeamXBOX) that the 360 patch for the Javelin glitch (and others) drops today...it already might be live.
Kerm...you still play? Yeti and I ran shit last night. We love to rail asses. Weebs and Slak, you guys play at all anymore?
I haven't played since before I bought Assassin's Creed II. If I've played anything lately, it's just been a few minutes of Zelda or Mario on my DS. I'll try to get on and play with you guys sometime, but I'm busy pretty much all weekend.
You're camping out for Avatar, aren't you?
That movie looks terrible, but no, I'm actually trying to have a life outside of video games. I call it: Second Life.
I assume that was on purpose? (http://secondlife.com/)
You're so wise.
I had never heard of that until today. I was going to try to spin it into something about Half-Life but then I went and fucked it all up
Really? And you call yourself Mr. The Office?
I had an absolutely great game last night. HQ in Karachi Invasion. I went 100-21-44. It was amazing. I missed on getting the nuke twice, both of which ended at 24 kill streaks, which is my current best.
The setup: Slieght of Hand Pro, Stopping Power Pro, Steady Aim Pro with the FMJ SCAR, using just the iron sights. It was amazing.
Question: What killstreak layout do you think would be the best for getting up to 25? I'm using Predator at 5, Pave Low at 9, and AC130 at 11. Thoughts?

So far, the closest I've gotten to 25 was 22.. I had the Predator Missile, the AC130, and the Nuke. The match ended while I was at 22 so I couldn't get the nuke.

What is 100-21-44? You got 21 assists? 44 deaths? I was using the Predator, Harrier and AC130. I switched to the Pavelow because the Harrier sometimes just sits there waiting to be shot at.
Yeti, I think I may have fixed my router problem. I had this thing called UPnP enabled on my router, but it turns out I needed it to be disabled. My NAT on MW2 is now at "Moderate." There was a guy who I was having trouble connecting to before and now we got in no problem. I'll be online this evening if you want to be a nerd with me.
By the way, I know it's completely within the rules of the game, but what is the fun in running around with Marathon, Lightweight, and Commando and wielding akimbo Rangers and sneaking up behind people all match, especially when your K/D for a round is 25-35? Why is that fun? Is it because he knows he's pissing me off by sneaking up behind me while I'm trying to get a kill streak going?

Good to hear.
As far as classes, I use that Marathon, Lightweight, Commando class on occasion. I mainly do it to master the classes, get the experience points. Until I reach the final prestige, I will mainly be doing things that help me advance ranks regardless of if I like the class: using danger close, getting kills with cold-blooded, etc. If I do a class without regard to leveling up, I'll do bling (or scavenger), stopping power, and steady aim. Really, the gun doesn't matter all that much, as long as it's an assault rifle. I guess the favorite so far is the M16.

I never use those classes. Running around like that isn't fun to me. It's not worth it. I'm just the guy that shoots you in the head from across the map with an ACR all match. I guess that's annoying, too.

100 kills, 21 assists, and 44 deaths. It was a great game. It came in the context of a great weekend too, because it reversed the decline in my KDR from the past week. It's gone back up to 1.21.
I'm debating whether or not to go prestige on my primary name. I really want to, but I don't want to lose my stuff all over again. It does suck, because when I get all of these XPs, it does nothing for me.

I believe you get to keep your emblems and callsigns, and maybe even your killstreaks and deathstreaks, but double check me on that. Other than that, the only real reason to prestige is to unlock another custom class slot and to hear the level up sound that I love so much.
100 kills is beast. Invasion is a fun map.

Callsigns and emblems stay. Killstreaks and deathstreaks don't. There's an added "Prestige" challenge, along with 2 additional challenges on each gun. It's worth it to do it once, personally. I know I'm going to prestige over and over until I can't anymore. Invasion is an amazing map. I have some of my best games there. Terminal and Scrapyard, as well.
Also, I just noticed something. You missed the nuke 2x but you had Predator, Pavelow, and AC130 selected? You have to have the nuke as your third and get rid of those.. Or did I read you wrong?

You're right, as I noticed that later. I guess its better that I missed the 25 in a row, since nothing would have happened anyway. I've changed it since.
So prestiging just once is basically all you need in order to unlock those new challenges?

You're right, as I noticed that later. I guess its better that I missed the 25 in a row, since nothing would have happened anyway. I've changed it since.
So prestiging just once is basically all you need in order to unlock those new challenges?
Yea. As far as I know. I doubt they'd add more for the second, third, etc presitges. I do know you can get more callsigns for prestiging so many times, but that's not too big of a deal. I'm around level 25-35 of my second go around (prestiged once) so I will let you know of any changes for additional prestiges.

Yep. Now there's a new problem, though. I found a new glitch last night, after you got off. Apparently, in a bunch of matches, there was a game glitch that allowed for infinite ammo and no need for reloading. What this resulted in was an automatic grenade launcher fest. This glitch is much more intrusive than the Javelin glitch, as you have no choice but to participate, but it's actually fun. Seeing all the grenades fly is amazing. Also, I set up Predator, AC130, and Nuke when I found this. The AC130 is ridiculous, because the biggest gun doesn't need to reload and shoots as fast as a P90. It allowed me to get 14 kills with the 130. It was amazing. I then set off the nuke.

Well, that explains why I was getting mauled Sunday night. I felt like every death was with a noob tube.
My one question is this: how do people find these glitches? Is it just luck? Do they enter cheat codes? Is Weebs Game Sharking the IWard servers?

Is this the kind of stuff that could be pretty much weeded out if they'd do a prerelease beta? Isn't that the point of a beta?
IAN, your Sunday night experience probably isn't what this was. I'll try to post one of the videos in the sbox so you can see it.
Aw, damnit. I wanted to blame it something other than me being terrible.

No, it's not. IW had significant beta testing for this game, but it was probably just all internal. Or if it wasn't, it at least wasn't a public beta like with Halo. Apparently, this is an exploit that modders have created and somehow it gets passed along between systems, being stored in the 360's cache. Beta testing is meant for finding bugs and balance issues. That Javelin glitch may have been something they just missed, or perhaps it popped up after one of the post-release patches. But IW says they know about this newest problem and are working on it.

I have no idea what "cache" or "modder" or "the" means. So, some nerds found a way to make the game gayer?
Yeti, thanks for the video link. I bet that guy had fun. I couldn't see what his final score was, though. Too bad he didnt' have a nuke.

It actually is pretty fun. It's gayer than shit, but oh well. I would actually like to see them open this kind of play up for private matches, but I think it might be best for IW to shut this down completely, because if they did open it up on Private matches, someone would find a way to manipulate it into the ranked matches.

Killstreak question. Say I get a five streak and then die. If I use my Predator missile and get three kills with it after I spawn, do those three count toward a new streak?

Don't think so. I had the AC130 selected as a streak, died, and then used it, and my kills didn't give me a new predator missile.

What are you guys looking at?
The more and more I play this game the more and more impressed I am. I really think they balanced it very well. There are so many things a player can use to dominate a match, but at the same time there is something always there that can fight it. There were many things an opposing player could use in the last one where you would be defenseless.
Aircraft: Instead of the RPGs from the last game, you actually have something that can hit it in the Stinger and Javelin. Also, when you have cold-blooded, the aircrafts can't see you, unlike last game.
Heartbeat Sensor: They have ninja to combat that.
Thermal sights: Cold-blooded helps. It's not perfect but it definitely hides you a little bit better.
When you think about it, there are really only a couple things that are in this game that render you defenseless: Akimbo 1887s (even though I heard they fixed that to balance them out) and people who use Marathon, Lightweight, and Commando and then even more so if they have a care package in hand. The care package is something I think they're fixing, but to think there's only one setting that has a clear advantage is pretty amazing. Kind of nice when a game basically reduces a lot the competition down to skill and one's ability to adjust during a game to be better equipped to take out the opposing team.

Coming from the guy who had an 82-12 game. I know what you mean, though. There aren't many times I feel defenseless. The only time is when I get dropped into a game already in progress and put on the team that is getting depantsed. There's usually a Harrier, Chopper Gunner and AC130 in the air at once and no where to hide. Other than that, my only complaint is the akimbo shotties. That's super gay.
The Akimbo 1889s are easily the biggest ripoff in the game. They are ridiculously accurate and insanely powerful.

Seriously, what the fuck. Every god damned time I get a decent kill streak item, the fucking game ends. Like, right as I'm pressing right on the d-pad to use the motherfucker. GOD FUCKING SHIT.
Also, this game rules, yada yada yada.
ANGER. I didn't know you played nerd games, ChuckD.
You underestimate the size of my nerdong. I've only had it for three days and I've already logged 3.5 more hours than Weebs.
That's because Weebs owns every gaming system and every game made for that system and can only manage to play each for like thirteen seconds before he moves on to more debt.
By the way, I had NO IDEA that was you in Yeti's party when I joined. I thought you were just one of his lumberjack friends.

DPD. Don't know where to put this, but I just got the Turtle Beach headset for my 360. I got them for one reason: Mrs. IAN hates the XBOX noise with a firey white hot passion, and this headset funnels all the sound from the game into the headphones. Thus, I can be a nerd in peace and she can watch Real Housewives of Orange County in peace.
What I didn't realize was how awesome the audio is in these things. I'm hearing things I've never heard in this game (MW2) that I've never heard before. You can hear directionality of rounds, reloads, death moans of other characters, footsteps you would otherwise not hear, character chatter, and sweet ambient noise from the levels. For instance, High Rise has spots on the map with chainlink fencing and exhaust fans and neon light fixtures. When my character walks by them, the headset really brings out the audio from these things. Not to mention the sound of the weapons and explosions.
I highly recommend them. The wired set is $60 and come with plenty of slack. The wireless ones are much more expensive and can interfere with your wireless adapter, so I would stick with the wired ones if interested. One more perk of the headset...you can mute the other players' voices and still have the game sound in your headphones. The audio is righteous.

That sounds pretty cool. Is the headset something that connects into the TV? Or the secksbox?
Also, I had a pretty productive day on there yesterday. I called in two nukes, both at Rundown. The first one I finished 39-3. I used the Predator and Chopper Gunner as the 2 first Killstreak awards. The CG just completely decimated the other team as I was spawn killing the crap out of them. On the second nuke, it was basically the same deal as the first, but this time, I was 31-1 (the one death being the nuke). I also came very close to getting a nuke on Quarry. I was using Marathon, Lightweight, and Commando. I was knifing the shit out of them. My team did a good job at being decoys for me on occasions. I got the Chopper Gunner and I killed probably 7-8 of them before it went away. It’s tougher to get CG kills there. I killed a few more people before I died. I think I was at around 23-24 kills. It was definitely a good day. I had my K/D go up by .03 points (which is significant when you’re looking at 10000+ kills and 7000 or so deaths) to 1.32. I’m inching my way up to PTM’s 2.07
Also, I just remembered.. I'd like to see Activision have a killstreak counter on the HUD. I'm sure they could find a nice place for a small number that keeps adding. If they wanted to, they could include deathstreaks with a negative number.

I use it alot on Highrise.. Run to the other side of the map and knife a bunch of people. We had just had highrise right before Quarry, so I was in the mood. My main purpose is to get Lightweight and Marathon Pro. Once those are done, I'll probably get rid of that class or never use it.

I really don't know anything about them. I know the PC has programs like Fraps, which lets you do that stuff really easily, but I'm not familiar with much for the consoles. It seems like a lot of people just prop up a video camera and record.

Just doing some checking around. Thought it would be entertaining to have. From everything I've seen, it looks like it'll cost around 100-150 to get the device, and then I'd also want a second computer, a desktop, so that'd be an added expense. So, it probably won't hai, but I'm intrigued by it.

For me, 1. I will say that I don't give a shit about stories that much, but if you need to know, the first one involved a war with some Arab people after they killed someone of importance along with something with some Russians. There's a nuke or two that's exploded and then at the end you shoot a guy in the head. Game over. The second game's story is pretty nonsensical I hear

THIS. Do you use Sleight of Hand or Bling? SoH is money for me.
And, to answer Ivy6's question, I'll refer him to Felix's response. But if you must know, the two stories are related, but you don't really need to play the first to care about the second all that much because MW2's telling of the story is pretty crappy. The dude you shoot in the face at the end of CoD4 has a protege named Makarov. Makarov is now the villian in MW2. If you just play campaign, you'll enjoy it.

Nice.. I prestiged as well. Second time last night. I was railing asses after the Bears game. I think I called in 10-15 AC130/Chopper Gunners (2 in one match a couple times). I decided to nix the nuke and just set 5, 7 (Harrier) and 11. After #5, I find it's pretty easy to get 7 and 11. If you play it right, you can get the 7 on the Predator and 11 becomes easier with the Harrier flying around.
Also, I've switched to Headquarters. You seem to be able to get more kills that way. In multiple matches, I had 50+ kills.
As far as the blue perk (#1), I've fallen in love with Scavenger. Once you get the pro (extra mags), you never run out of ammo, even if you don't pick any more up. With the M16, you get 180 bullets.

I couldn't kill shit with the FAMAS. I would get a lot of assists, but I'd constantly get shot in the face. I switched to the SCAR and that helped a bit. The M16 is a lot like Halo's BR which is what I'm used to.

Prestige means that you get to level 70 and you have the option of going back down to level 1 and starting it all over again. Some things carry over. Weapons and attachments don't... However, there are special weapon challenges for prestiging.

You get a new emblem next to your name so that others playing the game will tremble at the sight of your presence in a pre-game lobby, in addition to new emblems, new titles and new challenges.
You get all of this for the low low price of everything that you've worked to obtain.
Yeah, it's worthless, but it does add to the replay factor of the game. But it's COD, so that wasn't really an issue anyway.
DPD, but after 15000 kills and 11000 deaths, I finally got my first nuke in this game. It was wonderful. Followed it up with another game and another nuke. Followed by another game and another nuke.
The setup:
UMP45 silenced
PP2000 silenced
Semtex/2x Stunhh
Scavenger Pro
Hardline Pro
Steady Aim Pro
The killstreaks were Harrier at 7, Chopper Gunner at 11, and Nuke at 25, all of which were reduced by one because of Hardline.
No camping either; I stuck with my run and gun approach, which the silencer was perfect for.
This game is awesome.
I got waxed pretty frequently last night. My highest K/D was 2.11. I'm now down to 2.06 (not all in one night). Awesome.
CD, were you not able to join up with myself and Yeti after that 3rd Person game on High Rise?

My TV had been giving me some problems with turning itself off/on. I figured it was due to the old wiring in our building as well as my jury-rigged power cable (three extension cords and a surge protector). It kept getting worse last night, although I could still play for the most part. But right as we went to change lobbies, it turned off and started flashing two lights on the front. A little research online and it appears it's caused by dust building up on the high voltage input. The dust draws away current and causes the protection circuit to trip. So, I need to grab some compressed air and pull my TV apart before I'll be able to play.
So, I've been very mediocre over the past week. My K/D went down from 2.11 to 2.04.
Maybe it's because I've been playing 3rd Person games. It's a little harder to get crazy kill counts because there's only six players per team, max. But, it's actually pretty fun if you can get in a lobby where people don't always run around with shotties. The 3rd Person games take the functionality of things like heartbeat sensors and sights for your guns. The only thing is that if you have an ACOG scope, you zoom in just a tad bit more on your target than you would without it. (You don't look through the scope like in first person, but you just zoom in over your player's shoulder.) You get a broader view of the maps and what's going on around you.
I'm looking at IAN on this one, but does anyone know how to best use the AC130? Currently, my 11 Killstreak is the chopper gunner, but it is shot down very easily. I know the AC130 can withstand some assault before it's taken down, but my major problem is how to control it.
Any tips?
Nuke count at 6 now, btw. That's fun to do.

I haven't gotten a single nuke. I have had killstreaks over 25, but I never equip it. I might do it one of these days.
Anyway, I alternate between the AC130 and Chopper Gunner. I find I use the Chopper Gunner more because it's a constant wall of artillery. Usually for me, I get enough kills with the gunner and then the chopper hovers over the opponents' spawn and they have no chance.
But, if you're dead set on using the AC130, just know this about it. It circles the map--meaning, it doesn't go to the middle, then dart to the outside to another location like the chopper gunner. The big round on the AC130 should be used on spawn points and the smaller guns on individuals. Lead your targets, don't shoot straight at the red square. I usually quickly alternate between the big gun, middle gun and small gun. The reload times are pretty much eliminated when you move from gun to gun. AC130's are just as easy to shoot out of the sky than the chopper gunner.
That probably didn't help you at all, but to be honest I prefer the Chopper Gunner over the AC130. The AC130 just seems like it's more fun. Chopper Gunner rounds can also pierce walls; AC130's cannot (from my experience, at least).
Last couple times we've played, I recalled IAN bitch about a care package glitch. I was curious as to what it was since I hadn't seen anyone using the Marathon/Lightweight/Care Package glitch.. I just noticed it. Apparently there is a way to get infinite care packages. It's especially deadly if you manage to get the Emergency Airdrop. Although they're not perfect, I have two ways to combat it. First, have a Marathon/Lightweight class and flank the guy doing it, kill him and steal his care package. The other way I deal with it is use my cold-blooded class which has a stinger on it along with Scavenger. Shoot everything he calls out of the sky. And, try to flank while doing this. I've stolen probably 15-20 of those packages the last couple of days.

I'm not playing this again until it's patched. In fact, Infinity Ward recalled it's 360 patch because they found a way to correct the glitching deeper within their code. I don't know what that means, but all I know is that they had a patch send to Microsoft last Friday, then took it back because they needed to go deeper into their code for the fix.
This game is so buggy and retarded. I can't wait to sell it.

Nice. I got frustrated with the glitch but it converted me to doing Scavenger/Cold-Blooded/Ninja with a silenced FAL. That shit is deadlier than hell. Since Sunday, I've gotten 500+ kills with it. It's good stuff, plus with the stinger, you can shoot most of their shit out of the sky.

The game is probably broken when you have to use one specific loadout to actually be successful.

Well, I was pretty successful with my regular Assault Rifle/Stopping Power class, but I enjoy discovering the potential for the FAL. I'm going to get all MB-love-esque with this and say I love this game still. It's outstanding.
I liked the FAL on 3PTT. I really can't use it in first person view unless it's hardcore. I like putting a silencer on the ACR. It's kind of deadly. No one has any idea where they're getting shot from.

Yeah, but with one burst of an M16 and they have no shot. I tried the FAL when I was really railing ass and I did okay. What games do you play with your FAL?

I don't know if anybody cares, but the rumored Map Pack release date for MW2 is March 1. There will be several maps released, and XBOX 360 gets them 30 days sooner than PS3 owners. Here's the "supposed" list of maps:
Six new maps:
Abandon
DCWH-The White House
Compact
Revolt
Complex
Storm
And four from CoD4:
Shipment
Vacant
Overgrown
Crash

Get ready for the Madden of first-person shooters. (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1073468p1.html)
Well Overgrown and Crash made it, Salvage is a fun map with tons of hiding spots. I haven't played Bailout much but that map can get crazy. People tend to stack up in the hallways and entrances to hallways, equip a striker shotgun and its a turkey shoot.
I haven't played this game in over a month and I'm losing my shit.

I haven't played Salvage yet. I've played probably 15-25 matches and it hasn't come up. I've played Bailout the most, I think. It frustrates me for the reasons you listed. I did a little at storm, but not much. I'm been wanting to get Salvage. Just no luck. I'll probably get some playing time in tonight. If I'm lucky it'll be on the TV I plan on buying.

Maybe, depends how the law suits work out.
I've been struggling with wanting to play this game lately. Not sure what it is. I'm kind of disappointed with the maps. $3 per map blows. It might also be the lack of a ghey secks buddy for the game (IAN). It just has been losing it's luster a little. When I've been trying to play it on the new TV, it's been tough, because it seems like I'll miss things happening in the corners of the screen where I'm not used to looking.

I doubt it's really going to be any different from any of the other games, but Call of Duty: Black Ops (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1087087p1.html) should at least have some cool guns/gadgets. Also, I'm pretty sure Treyarch already confirmed that Nazi Zombies is coming back. Bonertime.

It really should be Charlie Zombies. Or Zip Zombies. Or Slope Zombies. Not may Nazis in the Nam. I think. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a solid game just like World at War.

I'm down when I get home from work.
Word on the screets is that it drops at 4 PM CT.
Along with the other ACORN video?
Works for me. I'm leaving work early anyway.
I probably won't get to play until about 9:00 anyway. Oh, and I don't have a mic thingy. Not that you really cared to talk to me anyway.
I'd talk to you. P'shaw. But do get the PSEye.

Right about now is when I'd expect Dubbs to come in here and say something retardedly funny about how gay and losery we are.
I might stop and get a little mic thing or a PSEye deal. I dunno.
The Resurgence Map Pack (http://kotaku.com/5538129/modern-warfare-2-resurgence-map-pack-deploys-next-month) is due June 3 on XBOX 360 with no confirmation on a release date on PS3 and PC. Now, back before the Stimulus Package map pack was released, somebody found the code on the discs (http://www.modernwarfail2.com/2010/01/21/402-bans-xbox-live-account-of-modder-who-leaked-early-mw2-map-packdlc/#comment-30744810) and was banned. Appearing on that list were ten maps with somewhat temporary-sounding names. Three of the maps on that list, Overgrown, Crash (throwbacks from MW1) and Storm appear in the Stimulus Package. I guess we could deduce that Complex = Bailout (the new apartment complex map) and Salvage = Abandoned (the new snow map in the dump).
I guess what this means is what I'm kind of excited for--the original leak is true and the return of Shipment and Vacant as well as three new maps are gonna be in this new pack. The best part is, if the original leak is true (and I guess it would have to be if somebody found the code on the disc), we'll get to play a Washington, D. C. map. The D. C. levels in the single player game were pretty impactful, so a multiplayer map is intriguing. The other two map names from the leak are Compact and Revolt. Not sure what they could be referring to, but hopefully they both take place in the States. A map in the suburban area of Virginia (like the Burger Town area) would be sweet.

I couldn't be more wrong (http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/05/13/an-interview-with-robert-bowling-on-the-mw-2-resurgence-package.aspx).
TPD...I guess no one cares about MW2 anymore. Anyway, Double XP Weekend just started and will last through Tuesday.

Really? I'll have to be back on it this weekend. Balance that, RDR, and a steady stream of tearful JOing.

Tears are great lube.
