Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[DustDriver]

Some good games on tonight and had at 1 point about 10 if us from this forum playing.
Game makes abit of difference when you have headsets on.

I appear to have a headset, but I just do that to block out chatter. I can only hear the game sounds in my headset. And my mic is turned off too.
I play a lot by ear, so it's a lot easier to concentrate that way.
Mostly only turn it on when in a private match, or when i'm not too bothered about my kdr. (Which I mostly am)

 

[Dragonistic]

I'd say KDR benefits way more from teamwork then anything else. I mean if someones got ya back you're much less likely to die, and deaths is what hurts a high KDR the most as apposed to kills. The amount of times I've saved my team-mates from certain doom is already high, which also leads me back to my point on UAVs being underused, if you can see them coming on your map, you know to be ready and it will result in less deaths for your team if you have a UAV up.

 

[boiltheocean]

I've switched my killstreak awards to UAV, Anti-UAV and Predator Missile and already noticed I've been scoring much better in all the matches I've played. It's extremely easy to call all of them in so I'm getting hundreds of extra points a match just from using them.

 

[DustDriver]

I find it fun when the opposing team calls in a UAV. Since I'm using cold-blooded and I can mostly guess where the enemy is coming from , I can ambush them while they are running towards my team mates. I also walk in the opposite direction of my team most of the time, to prevent (or at least try to) them attacking us from the back.

It was some fun matches yesterday with many from GTP You was playing very well GTP_LP2K Hope I see some of you guys tonight

 

[ajwilli]

yay I was playing yesterday night with GTP masicompo is a level 30 and Im a level 22.

 

[ajwilli]

oh have any of you got a tactical nuke before.

 

[G.T]

oh have any of you got a tactical nuke before.

A few times yeah.

But I generally don't use it because I usually want more kills in a game with other killstreaks equipped.

Also it's kinda frustrating when you lose it on the 23rd or so kill.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

I've gotten it once. It was on Rundown, GW DOM. I got a 44 killstreak in total

 

[Dragonistic]

Well I'm certainly swinging into things now with my scores, 4 hours of play time so far, rank 19. Currently on a 2.51 KDR thanks to a 25-3 followed by a 28-3 just now. My 3/5/7 set of streaks is perfect for consistent play whilst still allowing decent streaks. I have the UAV to help everyone, followed by the predator to get a quick kill or 2, followed by the harrier to rack up some more kills and of course pin enemies down. I do suspect my KDR is going to drop during the night though, it's a hard ratio to keep up when trying to help the team.

Here is something cool which I havent yet looked at:
PS3 vs X360

I'm starting to like this game.

I guess i was put off at first because I was being pawned left and right with my inferior equipment and the controls (im used to Battlefield). It's just all run and gun, but once i started to unlock stuff, i slowly improved my K/D. I think my current total now is 1.07, it was below 1 just a few days ago.

Had a great round earlier with 39/5 - Domination at Sub Base using the SCAR

A few times yeah.

How many kills (streak) do you need to get a nuke?

 

[boiltheocean]

I now have no interest in any other gun besides Akimbo Model 1887's. There is something deeply satisfying about blowing the head off your enemy at a ridiculous range while they are desperately trying to drop you with a weak sub-machine gun.

I HATE those guns, I HATE them. When I get blasted by one of those alot of times I am not a happy chappy.

 

[Masi_23]

A little overpowered i guess. I hate getting killed with those.

BTW: to all the GTP MW2 regulars please add me

It's amazing how many people come to back to me after I've shot them, usually crouching as they walk, it makes no difference but they keep on comming back hopelessly trying to catch me off guard. When I'm running around in a group using assault rifles I'm usually the last to be shot at as the enemy believe I'm out of range, turns out I'm the one to gun them all down.

 

[Dragonistic]

An overall successful nights CODding for me, I reached what I really wanted to get, Cold Blooded. Now all I really need is Ninja and a couple of attachments perhaps and I have the set up I really want. Amazingly I held the ratio up, sitting on 2.64 right now, with some really good games along with some generally solid showing.

A good first game with Legendary on Skidrow as well, even though i didn't have a brilliant score it was fun and good that we worked together on some of the flags just by paying attention unlike those who go only for kills. Then the lag kicked in to ruin it... for leg although I had some issues at the start of a round of Scrapyard, I ended up with 40+ kills and single figure deaths.

I'm finding as I predicted on the map front, some maps are fun offering enough space to move without making it sniper dominant, some maps are just to linear and make for a boring and frustrating experience such as Highrise which I often back out to avoid even though I do quite well by just running end to end underground.

That said I am having enough fun on my own to keep me going to unlock more things, just about, and it's worth it to get with some friends and start actually using some tactics.

I saw that the server was lagging and everyone had one bar at some stages. That paired with my already one bar connection wasnt helping, usually when someone is using my net it will go from green to red connection so I can tell if it is my net or not, having it on a constant one bar was too confusing so I just left, it was all over the place and I could not walk straight let alone forward . At least you ended with a good score.

 

[Dragonistic]

It wasn't just you for sure, we must have got a new host or something because I was getting lag spikes every 30 seconds it jerked massively. Then it got unbearable just before it stabilised so I didn't leave. Good job to cus that room helped me get to where I am now.

 

[a6m5]

I guess you didn't need to warmup or anything. Good for you, Drag.

I know it works, I just think it's stupid that it should ever work.

Agreed. Even in CoD4, I was annoyed that I'm blasting someone with an full automatic weapon, and he can still dash at me, then knife me. Not knocking on the players who use the tactics, it's very much part of CoD as I know it, but is very, very silly. If you ever shot something more than a 9 millie in real life, you'd understand.

It works now.

I just hope he called "bank" on the third shot, because you know that shiitake doesn't count on the street, unless you call it. My bankshots so sweet, I call it "ATM". Open all-day!

So wrong, but so true.I'm always on the receiving end.
Edit:

That is so weird. I haven't noticed any differences, but then again, I haven't touched the campaign. I'd have expected the PS3 to have better graphics though. In CoD4, some parts of the PS3 campaign were just incredible!

Get your ass on the sending end then! I only really use them for the lulz because I know I could score better with other weapons. At the moment though I'm having the most fun with 1887's.

They did that comparison with the graphics settings at default, which from what I've heard PS3 is a bit washed out unless you turn the brightness down.

The Texture size issues are also due to the connection you get, XBL has better servers so faster connections allow for your system to download (from the disc) the textures at a higher resolution.

PS3 has slightly worse servers so in an effort to reduce lag they introduced texture scaling, which makes it so when your system is downloading the textures (it does this when the match starts), they can get smaller (512x512 or 1024x1024) textures and reduce the memory needed to load textures and focus it more on other things like bullet tracking and character movement.

If the same was true on the PC and you had access to the .ini files, you could more than likely access those and force the "Texture Size" Variable to be at full all the time, you wouldn't have blurry textures but a decreased FPS rate.

Oh and the pictures were originally from gamespot who declare 360 the winner in everything

It is ported from X360, ported games are almost always better on the original console than the ported one, thats why exclusives are so good.

At the moment though I'm having the most fun with 1887's.

Just unlocked them and I will get FMJ in 40ish kills.

It's almost as if they dont see him or something?!?! strange... wonder what perks he has on... ?? There are a couple of funny situations there though

 

[Sharky.]

Holy jeebus, I just got Dronekiller.

Went with the Gump approach again, wasn't doing too flash at 7-16, but had a ripper final stage in a TDM (Quarry)... first nailed a guy with a stun + Mini-Uzi to the face, then knifed a guy from behind, then knife to the face of a guy who rushed at me, guy just around the corner got sliced in two, his mate flashed me so I wildly hit melee and *somehow* connected with the guy; that brought up my Predator and I scored a kill with it... little did I know that was the game-winning kill.

 

[G.T]

LOL that video is sooooooooo good.

 

[Legendary]

I just unlocked FMJ for the models and it can now shoot 1 million blocks away again .
I am having fun with that and my knifing class for now, I am level 68 first prestige staring at the barrel of second prestige. Second prestige might come tomorrow or the day after depending on how much I play.

 

[Sharky.]

New PB - 25-2-16.

The knife class at Sub Base... it's a massacre.
