Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Which you'll never really use. Heartbeat Sensor is the worst attachment if you still learning the game. You get tunnel vision on it and most people I see using it do the dumbest things with it. For example, this guy on Skidrow in Hardcore would just stop in the open if it went off, and would wait for the ping again. He'd just wait for someone to approach in the open if he though the HBS was saying they were coming near.

There are generally more useful attachments, such as the silencer or grenade launcher or a site or extended mags.

I unlocked the heartbeat sensor, tried using it in two games and just gave up. Your right it changed the way I play I was just focused on the sensor, didnt really move around the map, I played even worse than I normally do

Im really getting into this multiplayer now just a few more noob questions....
- How do you destroy a sentry gun?
- How do I get claymores?
- Whats the difference between holographic and red dot? I also unlocked the holographic today, tried it and got rid of it. It looks too big and was distracting. Red dot seems so much sleeker.

To kill a sentry gun you have to knife it. Cold blooded makes this task uber easy. If you don't have that perk, use a stun or flash grenade to surprise it then knife, or just sneak around it and knife. Sometimes the guy that called it in is close by the sentry gun to protect it, so be fairly quick or discrete about it.

You have to unlock claymores at level 31.

And the holographic and red dot sight are pretty much the same, up to you if you want to use it. Though I heard that the holo sight makes the M16 more accurate, and the FAL stronger.

I personally think the holo sight makes my aiming better, plus it makes my guns look sick on the killcam.

To destroy a Sentry go up to it and Knife it, approach from behind should be obvious.

Claymores are unlocked at level 31.

I think the Holographic sight is slightly more accurate, also it has extra lines on to help with aim I think, however I also prefer Red Dot.


EDIT: Tree'd!!

The holographic site has greater auto aim, and doesn't completely fade out during an EMP. by auto-aim, I mean if you get most any part of the circle on the target, you'll generally hit, versus the smaller dot on the Red Dot Sight. Personally, I rarely use anything other than Iron Sights on guys because I prefer to have Scavenger or Slight of Hand with a Silencer or Grenade Launcher.

As for the Heart Beat Sensor, I use it as more of an extra bit of info than primary. I play like I normally do with it, and check it when I am in cover or getting ready to call in air support or something else that leaves me open for a minute. Absolutely never bee line to a red dot with it, best way to get yourself killed.

 

[sumbrownkid]

^I like using bling with Holo sight and FMJ. Makes my MG4 really useful in Favela and Rust.

Had an awesome kill at Invasion with the predator last night, hit 3 guys with a single predator missile, including one in the head (The headshot symbol even came up, prompting another player to congratulate me

Chris.

Most i've gotten from a single predator missile was about 5 or 6 kills. ut i've never gotten a headshot with it before, good job 👍

This game is pissing me off so bad right now with all the cheating going on, its so broken I'm just going to have to put it down until they fix it. None stop care packages are ruining almost every single game I get into. Plus since I have went prestige I'm getting put with people that are way better than me so XBL is pissing me off in that regard because they have the review player deal and if you put they are too good or too bad its suppose to look at them and put you with lower or higher skilled players, which its not. I got gamefly once again so I'm waiting on prototype and assassin's creed 2 so those will do what they were made to do, have fun with. Have been wanting to play prototype since almost a year before it came out so that will be nice to finally play it.

Err, what? I didnt know this, by completely, what do you mean?

 

[Azuremen]

The Red Dot Sight disappears during an EMP, so if you ADS, you don't really have a point to place the target on. Holo supposedly just dims during an EMP.

I don't know if you read, but I stopped playing on XBL few days ago(about a week?). Tonight, I was supposed to play special op with my coworker, so I got on Xbox. He ditched me. So I ended up playing few TDMs on XBL. Not one match with Infinite Care Pkg. I got in at least four, five different lobbies as well. Maybe lot to do with luck.

As for the matchmaking, just be patient with your game play. I know how good you are, unless the matchmaking is putting you up with some crazy good players, which does happen once in awhile, you should be able to hang with most anybody.

 

[Azuremen]

HC TDM I am starting to hate more and more. It is more a test of patience than playing a game, since most people just wait in corners and sit and sit and sit. Or they try to find creative places you wouldn't normally look to camp. Just way too campy lately and its just not much fun. Sure I can have good scoring games, but like I said, its more about waiting around for something to happen most of the time.

I know about the RDS but the Holo I did not know about.

Cold-Blooded is so enticing to me since I can't be seen by the automated kill streaks and by the chopper gunner and AC-130 to an extent.

BTW The MG4 is really underrated and underused.

I had the same opinion on Cold Blooded, but switched back to Stopping Power and it makes a big difference. Basically, without Cold Blooded and when UAVs are in the air, you need to be extra alert to your surroundings since the enemy has a good idea of where you are at. During kill streaks, I hunker down in a place where they cannot get me. I also quickly select my anti-air class in the event that I get killed. If I am to die, then I can quickly take out whatever is in the air.

All LMG's are underused in MW2. I have no idea why either, they are very good guns. Personally I don't use them as they don't fit in with my style of play at the moment but I could adjust to them if I wished.

I really like the AUG HBAR. It is currently on my anti-air class and it works very nicely with the Grip and Red Dot Sight. I also need to get around to trying the other LMGs in the game and see if any works as well as the HBAR.

- Whats the difference between holographic and red dot? I also unlocked the holographic today, tried it and got rid of it. It looks too big and was distracting. Red dot seems so much sleeker.

I tend to think the holographic is better for close quarters, as I feel it blocks too much of a target down range for a longer kill.

I have been very unlucky because seriously 90% of the matches I'm in are constant air support crap going on, very frustrating especially without my cold blooded pro because the last match I played there was an AC130 in the air and the game just kept spawning me in the exact same place and the AC was spawn trapping. Spawn, die....spawn, die.....over and over 12 damn times then I just rage quit. F this game right now on xbl. As far as the matchmaking, its putting me lately with people that are way, way up on the leaderboards. I'm not horrible at the game, not the best either but some of the people are just like playing damn robots Put it this way, some of the people it has put me up against the last few times I tried to play G.T. would have gotten it handed to him, and thats for sure saying allot.


Here's what I have been dealing with......

 

[Vasco]

Here's what I have been dealing with......

Feel your pain mate, it's bad enough that 90% of my games are red bar or yellow at best, now there's always a group of douches camping in some corner constantly calling in care packages. It's absolutely ridiculous how many glitches this game has! As soon as they fix one a new one is exploited! And it takes them about a year to get a patch on XBL too

 

[boiltheocean]

Had a load of good games with Dragonistic earlier today, I didn't do as well as hoped so I'd like to do some more matches sometime.

Finished out tonight with 4 very nice game starting with a 20-0 then a 26-0, followed by a 34-6 and a 39-4 to finish off. Overall my KDR has risen by 0.02 today, bringing me up to 1.61.

 

[Legendary]

The patch is FINALLY on xbox BUT, as we already know, the unlimited care packages will still be dropping out of the sky but I havent seen much of it on PS3. I have a feeling that because of the Xbox's audience, you may see alot more of those dropping out of the skies than we do on PS3. I feel sorry for you Xbox guys, is it at all possible for you to get a PS3 anytime this year? I think that would improve your online gaming experience quite alot. There are no Jtagged PS3's, games like GTA IV online are STILL not hacked, thats not the case for 360.

I think we were both having quite alot of trouble getting any really great scores during our session, I to struggled for the majority of games up until the final few we had together where I finally came to life a little.

I noticed you pulling in the killstreaks at the end. It wasn't really spawn killing that was the problem either, I was getting shot practically anywhere I moved without the team. Plus with not unlocking Cold-Blooded until later in the session I felt the effects of air support hard. I'm so glad I've got my usual setup back now, I think I may stick at 70 on this prestige.

 

[Time_Attack]

It is impossible to get a co-op spec ops game without lag.

Had some good games today though.

Me and a few of the guys had some good matches tonight but encountered 2 or 3 where the opponents were spamming care packages
I had one match on the map with the broken bits of aircraft all over the middle of it where I racked up 32 kills and managd to defuse the bomb milliseconds before it blew up

It was all unlimited care packages the night I quit playing on XBL. Last night though, I didn't see it. My friend who came on later said he didn't encounter any. Personally, I'd keep on jumping lobbies until you are in the right crowd.

On that youtube video, just wow.

 

[sumbrownkid]

Simple question here, does anyone play the game and not care about about K/D ratio? I've seen some people that go ape 🤬 when they start complaining about that K/D ratio.

I don't particularly care about it, I just keep track of it. I merely observe it so if I have a bad game or night, I'll simply be like well thats my KDR down a little, move on. I half care that my KDR goes down if I get spawn camped or something, but I mainly care because I'm being spawn camped and thats just cheap in itself.

It's a game when it boils down to it, whether you're good or bad at it isn't important, it's about having fun and not spoiling anyone elses. If people hate dying, this is the wrong game to play. Everybody dies, ALOT, even the best players with high ratios. I never shut down or quit because I'm not on a good score, I shut down or quit if somethings or someone is spoiling my enjoyment (multiple enemies who use the noob toob as a primary religiously over their bullets for example).

Yeah patch is finally out on Xbox!

Still no word on a matchmaking fix EVER getting done for us though, it's great that IW can just alienate Australian 360 users like this since the game's release!

I do have a PS3, but more of my closer mates have Xboxes than PS3s (about 8 vs 3) and so I will buy multiplatform releases on Xbox. Can't wait for Bad Company 2!

Everybody I know care about it. To what degree, that depends on the person. I seriously care, like kill death ratio is the game itself, but that's because I'm strictly a team deathmatch player. In TDM, k/d is somewhat critical.

I fired up MW2 last night even though I had thrown garlic at it and poured holy water on it and vowed not to touch it until IW fixed the care package deal at the least When starting up it prompted me to apply a patch or I couldn't play so a patch was released but what all is included in the patch I haven't looked into yet. I know that there are 2 new ways to do the care package glitch that were found after the PS3 patch, so they are more than likely not covered on the 360 patch considering how long it took this patch to be made and when the new ways were found, just no time to patch them also. But I didn't encounter any CP problems while in the 10 matches or so, so either they patched the living hell out of it the first time and the new exploits don't work or people don't know about them yet/they have a hard time doing them, hopefully they just patched the hell out of it I stopped playing but only because I was too jittery to play, couldn't aim to save my life. I was really tired and wired from energy pills just to make it through the day and my thumbs were shaking the sticks everywhere while trying to aim so it just wasn't working for me.

It was all unlimited care packages the night I quit playing on XBL. Last night though, I didn't see it. My friend who came on later said he didn't encounter any. Personally, I'd keep on jumping lobbies until you are in the right crowd.

That night I got so mad I jumped, I jumped like crazy for the entire I would say 30-45 minutes I played before just getting Danny Bonaduce style pissed off and just turning off my xbox. I had gotten so pissed I couldn't even play Forza 3 and enjoy it because I couldn't focus enough to play it. It takes every bit of focus you have to play that game if you play it on the hardest setting like I have been from the start, one small thing like letting a tire slip into the grass and you just went from 1st to 9th that quick, and with it on hard you won't be catching up but maybe 2 positions if you have enough time left....IW ruined my entire night that night.....jerks.

Simple question here, does anyone play the game and not care about about K/D ratio? I've seen some people that go ape 🤬 when they start complaining about that K/D ratio.

I had no clue what mine even was until the other day I finally found where the K/D even was after having to google where to find it in MW2 Mine was something like 1.59 or 1.69, posted it here to ask if it was good or bad since I have never looked at K/D ratios I didn't really know where mine sat at, so no, I don't really care what mine is but I always try not to die and try to get kills. It always pisses me off in a game when I come in 2nd and the leader on my team that got 1st had 1 more kill than me and something retarded like 12 more deaths than I did, that's not even right......they should have a mode to play where it takes points from you when you die, I would like that. More specific, don't take away from the teams point total but your personal match xp[ total, that way if you are really not a good player it won't ruin your entire teams chance at winning anymore than it would the way TDM is right now, just the other team gaining those points from killing that person, not that person giving them the points and losing X points for his entire team:tup:


Ok, done, had allot of catching up to do on this thread and say

 

[Time_Attack]

People that say they don't care about K/D ratios just have a poor ratio to begin with. It really does reflect on the whole game. I'm not impressed at all if someone is multiple prestige and they're ratio is only .87. That just says they have put a lot of hours in without doing much else.

 

[Sharky.]

I take a bit of offence to that. I'm (1st) prestige with a KDR of only 0.63 (due to the woeful matchmaker at release... I challenge you to have a decent match with a ton of lag), and I don't care about my KDR. It's a game, games are designed for people to have fun, and fun is having a good time, whether you get killed a lot or not. Sure, it's nice to see what's happening with your KDR every now and then, but I don't play my game around it. If I have a good game with a high KDR (11-3 @ Terminal earlier), that's nice. If I have a bad one (8-18 in GW, first match I'd played in a week), I'm not fazed.


On a different note, I'm loving the TAR. Powerful, recoil isn't too bad and it has an awesome reload action, which is something I look for in a gun. Take the SCAR - an awesome gun with a lame-as reload animation.

 

[Time_Attack]

I tend to check my KDR after every match. I set a goal of making it go up by a couple points and it helps me play better I think.

What do you guys use as a main weapon on your stealth kits? I have a silenced UMP45 but I can really only use it effectively at close range. Should I switch to something like a silenced ACR?
