I got my first nuke today :)
And that's enough. I get kills more easily without it
 
Exactly, it's one of those things..... Like when I was learning to play basketball, all kids wanted to dunk. Although I had more hops than most of those kids, I worked on things that I can actually use in the game to win.

I can change my game, gear it towards nukes, and longer kill streaks, but I really want to win, too. But of course, with you guys getting the nukes, I am jealous. :D
 
Had to be quick too. My team was on 7200 points :)
Wasn't even a brilliant game. Ended up with 33 - 6
 
Anyone else here think that MW2 needs more online maps? Or at least make some of the ones they have a bit bigger or something?
 
Am I the only one who thinks of that but since the last patch (On PS3) it seems like the SPAS 12 is the new 1887 ?
Let me explain. The SPAS 12 has unreal range and everybody takes it now.
Anyone else feeling like this ?

They will be releasing some DLC sometime in spring although I hear its already on the disc to begin with.

Speaking of DLC, is that true that Microsoft paid that the DLC will be released on the 360 first then after a period of time on the PS3 ?

Not at all. Outside of close quarters, the SPAS 12 is useless. Furthermore, the SPAS 12 needs to be aimed accurately, as the pump action is unbearably slow and usually leads to death if the first shot does not kill. With that said, an accurate SPAS 12 shot in close quarters is very deadly. The weapon has been my favorite secondary weapon to use, but then again I am also only at level 42.
 
I hate it when in game winning kill someone kills someone with a Spas 12 across a distance of 7 metres and EVERYONE says it is unrealistic. False, shot guns in real life go quite alot further than in this game. I for one, love the spas 12, for the prestige challenges I have 1600 kills with it, I also have 1600 with the M4A1 and the 50 Cal. If you hit in the chest at a close kinda range it will be a one hit kill, if at a longer range you aim at the head (you can hip fire of course) you will kill with a headshot. If you can only see a head in front of a bin it will be a head shot. It is one of the best guns in the game and if they patch it I will be very un happy. I have threatened several times to trade this game in for a newer shooter but it wont happen yet. I will see what the DLC has.

Derail and Wasteland are quite large, given the size of the teams in this game. And in TDM, most of the fire fights will take place around points of interest - the House in Estate, the center building on Derail, the bunker thing in Wasteland, etc.

On a different note, SitRep Pro does not really cancel Ninja Pro, despite the game math saying other wise. A Ninja Pro with SitRep Pro is still quieter than non Ninja Pro user without SitRep Pro. SitRep Pro is still fantastic, once you adjust to how much louder foot steps are, since not that many people use Ninja Pro in core it seems.
 
Slightly bizarre, rather random and 100% epic win kill time.

Bullet penetration longshot headshot (phew, that's a mouthful) all the way through the bunker dividing wall at Wasteland, with a red dot TAR.

Pretty picture:

Yellow is my location, blue is the wooden dividing wall, red is where I estimate the guy I shot was.

Before you ask, no I wasn't firing over the top of the wall - I was shooting through the middle of it. I saw movement through the gap at the top of the wall, so I figured someone was coming. Dropped my sights to about 2/3rds the way up from the bottom of the wall, and let rip. Headshot. Was very very random, but very very cool. :D
 
Very nice Sharky, I've had a few random "Wait what I killed someone?" moments as well.

And I may unlock the HBS for the FAMAS again and use that instead of the SCAR on I can Noob? just because it is a superior hip-fire weapon compared to the SCAR. This is also the secret to getting experience points faster, using this variety of weapons.
 
Sharky, did you spray or what? Cool story bro.
Nope, no spray, it was an ADS kill. The TAR has a fair bit of recoil so I'm very surprised I managed to get the kill, let alone a headshot.

Then again, the recoil is probably what caused the headshot in the first place. :lol:
 
Man I had my worst game I've ever had this morning. I just couldn't do anything. I don't even wanna say what I ended at. I ended up unlocking CB pro and that was the only good thing about that match. My K/D ratio dropped like a stone.

After that I started trying to unlock the silencer for the scar but I seriously hate that ****ing weapon. It might as well only have a 3 round clip. I'd rather use the M4 than this POS.

Thank god for the FAL. after I went back to it my K/D ratio went back up.
 
I like the Grasshopper class.
So do I but I dont like the WA2000. It must cover a third of the screen, it is damn well huge! I cant stand the M21 or the WA, they just arent for me.

The SCAR has superior accuracy and stopping power though. The trick to the SCAR is to fire in short bursts (2 or 3 round bursts) and to generally use it with Scavenger.

The WA2000 is the stand in for the M21 till I unlock it again. I only use the WA in Hardcore with this setup, but the M21 with a Silencer I use in Core all the time.

Not entirely a bad idea. It does have more damage but I still have a hard time getting it to work for me.

Since we're talking about snipers I put a silencer on my Barret today and its not as bad as I had thought it would be. Its still possible to get one shot kills fairly easily. I haven't tried the WA2000 but I've always thought it was interesting looking at least...

This is the first I have read, or instead likely noticed, of someone absolutely hating the SCAR-H. The only prior negative attribute I remember someone stating about the weapon is the smaller 20 bullet magazine.

The SCAR-H is currently my favorite assault rifle in the game; granted, I have only unlocked up to the M16A4 and have only sparingly used the ACR, F2000, and AK-47 as pickups. I have unlocked every attachment minus the extended magazines and am about 22 kills away from unlocking those; I have found, while trying to get the extended magazines, the FMJ attachment to work quite nicely and probably have surprised a few people with some of the kills I have pulled off with it equipped. I am also about 10 kills away from having 500 kills with it. I do not have a clue where I am with headshots on it though. Even after unlocking the Extended Magazines, the SCAR-H will continue to be in one of my class setups.

Using Scavenger with the SCAR-H is a very good tip and is the part of the setup I use with the weapon. Without Scavenger, it is very easy to exhaust all of the ammunition that it starts with.

The WA2000 is the stand in for the M21 till I unlock it again. I only use the WA in Hardcore with this setup, but the M21 with a Silencer I use in Core all the time.

I just recently started playing around with the sniper rifles in multiplayer, as it was a class of weapon I had almost completely previously ignored. I tried the snipers out early in MW2 and could not hit anything with them at all. Now that I have some more experience playing the game, I can actually use them.

I started out by trying the Intervention. I found it to be okay, granted that was my first impression of the weapon and the sniper rifle class of weapons. I thought it was terrible on a follow up shot. Though I do not think because of the bolt action, it just seemed very slow to resettle. So next, I moved onto the WA 2000. I mostly like this weapon, except the excruciatingly long switch between it and the secondary weapon equipped. Last up, I tried the Barrett. I quickly killed ten people with this weapon and unlocked the silencer. I equipped the silencer expecting the damage to only fall off slightly and it seems I was completely wrong on that. Continued below . . .

Since we're talking about snipers I put a silencer on my Barret today and its not as bad as I had thought it would be. Its still possible to get one shot kills fairly easily. I haven't tried the WA2000 but I've always thought it was interesting looking at least...

I plan on using the silencer on the Barrett only long enough to unlock the Heartbeat Sensor. After that, it is back to unsilenced and mostly one shot kills.

Now that I have a better feel for using a sniper rifle in the game, I eventually plan on trying the others some more and see if my initial impression of the weapons still hold up.
 
Use stopping power with the silencer. I also use bling so I can use the thermal scope with it. I don't get using the heart beat sensor on snipers unless you plan on using it shorter range. I have an easy enough time finding targets at the ranges I use the rifle at.

The scar... A lot of it has to do with the small magazine size but at the same time it doesn't seem as powerful as it should be. Maybe if I was using extended mags and stopping power it would get the job done but thats not the role I was using it in.

The Heartbeat Sensor is useful in alerting you of people getting too close to you with that little beep it does.

The SCAR works much better in bursts. It is a 3 or 4 shot kill without Stopping Power, but only hits effectively when used in short bursts. I have around 3000 kills with it (hit the 2500 max my last prestige, and have since added to that) with over 250 head shots. It may look like you should be hitting people with it even when you are in full auto but it doesn't. Burst and you'll find yourself not having to reload after killing a guy.
 
Urgh Care Package glitch has come back to PS3. Had someone doing it nearly every match I've been in.

Although still scored well thanks to a trusty silent setup combined with some Quick Scoping games, KD up to 1.63 now. It's going up fairly rapid lately.
 
I didn't know it beeped. I usually hear them most times though. I'd prefer to leave the spot open for something else.

One example of why I don't like the scar is this. I was playing a game earlier, shot a burst at a guy, didn't kill him so I flanked him. Shot the rest of the clip at him, still didn't kill him and he just slowly turned around and took me out. I can fire in bursts but if I want to do that I'm just going to use the Famas.

And yeah I was just in a game today with massive care package glitching. The whole team was on the other side of the map and they had 3-4 emergency airdrops one right after the other almost. I don't see it much but today was the most obvious.
 
Haha on your comment about bursts. If the ARs were more true to life, you'd have to burst fire all of them, much like in Counter Strike. Try the F2000 out at some point, and you'll hate it but it is how the ARs should work in my opinion. From the sound of it, you'll like the ACR - it can be fired full auto with a rather disconcerting level of accuracy.
 
ACR is the noob lazer of this game. :lol: And yes, it is my favorite.

SCAR does have small clip, but if you moderate your bursts, you should be able to drop two guys per clip without a problem. And this is coming from a master spray 'n' prayer. :p I've said this before, but if you can't get that much stopping power + accuracy to work for you, I don't know what the problem might be. M4 is nice. It used to be my favorite until I unlock the ACR, but then it just failed on me. It worked for a long time, but it just quit. Still not sure why. Maybe I just bad bunch of bad connection for that stretch.

That's another thing, you just got to keep switching guns if it doesn't work for ya. SCAR quit working for me once, too. I think it was right after I fell in love with the ACR, and perhaps it had something to do with the change in playing style. But my recommendation is to just use whatever that works for you that week. :)
 
What does everyone use in terms of secondary weapons?

Before I was sure Shotguns were the way to go but since I prestiged again I've been loving the PP2000. Kills are coming slow since I have scavenger on and I'm pretty wise about reloading with my main weapon but it's a great little gun to whip out if you have the chance. Once unlocked though I'll start using the M93 Raffica. It's a lethal secondary.
 
The PP2000 is a solid weapon. I usually get more kills with it than my Barrett now when I use a sniper setup. You can see a list of my secondaries posted in my huge Class post.

I still like having a handgun on classes that get up close and personal, as you don't get caught reloading or doing a weapon swap.
