Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[WallRunner]

I've only been nuked once and it was by a teammate in a laggy GTP party (GTP_LP2K and the crew). I've called in 2 thus far and both were on extremely biased teams, but I don't feel it should be upped. It takes a VERY lucky game, the other team having massive lag or just really good camping, and it's very hard to accomplish unless you're insanely good at the game.

The key to keeping from getting Nuked I've found is just controlling the battlefield for around 2 or 3 minutes of the match, if someone dies more than 3 times (non-consecutively and with decent lifespan), it will be really, really hard to get a nuke and if you aren't past 7 kills with 4 minutes to go downright impossible.

If Nukes became harder to get, it would cause them to become unused, since the main demographic of people that are playing don't get 30+ killstreaks, the people who do would not end up being called "cool" or "awesome" because they got a nuke, but rather someone who spends way too much time playing

[G.T]

To be honest to get the nuke genuinly (i.e without your killstreaks) is VERY hard and you need to be very good, but usually people get like a Chopper Gunner and on an open map get like 10 kills with it, so they're quite close to the nuke afterwards. Makes it a lot easier. I've only ever got it the hard way once, and that was honestly without realising.

 

[Legendary]

Another thing is that you guys here who do not car about getting nukes do not realise how bloody hard it is to get them. They are very rare to get and you have to be very lucky to get the map suitable for chopper gunner. Not only that but the harrier has to stay in the air and also the chopper gunner, all of the factors have to be right. I have only had one but I have come close alot of times and that is because the factors that effect it have not gone right. If they upped the nuke to even 35 kills I wouldnt use it, I never get killstreaks over 25.

 

[a6m5]

Those are two opposite perspectives though. Those who are complaining about the nukes, from their view, they couldn't care less how hard it might be for you to reach the streak. They are encountering it often enough.

I don't care either way, really. But just because long kill streak is hard for a6m5 doesn't mean somebody else in the game won't get the killstreak.

Edit: I damn near broke my third controller just now. It really should have broke, but my X360 controller is built by Toyota, apparently, I almost broke my hand(it's very sore). One thing to get pwned, but it's a whole another to get owned by campers, mediocre players who should have gone down, but noooooooooooooooooo, they have like three juggernaut on.[/rant]

 

[Legendary]

Yes, painkiller is freakin ridiculous, I always get my kill streaks taken down by people with that. Not only painkiller but that last stand crap, I once got 10 assists cause the same guy dropped into last stand and the team mates took all my kills. When I put health on minuscule in private match, one shot with a sniper still does not kill pain killer, I find that very shocking and over powered.

 

[Azuremen]

It is designed to give people that suck a chance. Do keep that in mind. Any good player won't go into anyhow as they are unlikely to die 3 times in a row before they kill some one.

 

[Legendary]

Its lame and I dont like it, CoD4 was fine without deathstreaks and so adding invincibility and ruining other players game is not something I look upon as a good addition to the game.

 

[Sharky.]

Painkiller isn't invincibility though (it's 2x health), and it only lasts for ten seconds.

The deathstreaks were designed with accessibility for new players in mind - Bowling himself said that in an interview about MW2. Can you imagine how annoyed a noobie would be feeling if they kept getting shot and killed the instant they spawned, without fail? As Cody mentioned, "good" players don't die enough to trigger deathstreaks anyway.

 

[Magic069]

Alright, I just was on and I think I may have run into some old school type hacking going on. It was on the board with all the snow, not sure of the name dont have them all memorized yet. Two snipers were able to fly, or what looked like walk in the sky, and get outside the boards borders and set-up sentry's and fire on anyone walking by.

Please tell me if this has happened to you, and if we are having yet another hacking problem like COD4. I really dont want to live with another 2 weeks or month with this.

 

[Magic069]

Dont tell me I am the only one that has seen this! I cant find anything about it when i google it. Well I hope Ward catches and fixes this fast. I swear it happened and it brought back all the horrible memories.

Well I at least dont want to join a game with Deathstreaks, I wish you could have a choice to join non deathstreak games, that would be wonderful. Again with CoD4, people lived without deathstreaks so why do we need them now, I dealt with it when I was a noob. I just dont like the idea, I am sorry.

They are called elevators and have been in CoD4 and MW2, I dont see people do it ever, I know they exist but I just dont see them being used. Apparently the snowy level called Derail has really easy elavators. It puts you outside the maps boundary and you appear to be walking in the sky but your just walking on a type of invisible box.

Well boo to elevators then. That was the first time I had seen it, and having two people doing it at the same time was not fun. Once they got outside the borders of the board it was almost impossible to kill them. When they were walking in the sky, it wasn't as hard, unless you didn't realize the red dot you saw on your radar wasn't on the gound.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, I hate that crap. If that stuff get popular enough, I will quit this game. I have hard enough time looking around for enemies as is, I don't want to have to scan the blue skies, too.

On the painkiller deathstreak thingy, I also am not a fan. Like Legendary said, CoD4 was fine without it, and I think that's a great example. And it's not just for people who suck either, I get it all the time. I actually forgot that it comes on. Now I actually feel sorry for the guys I took down, while on deathstreak reward, while I am flashing red. It really does happen to me all the time.

I just got done playing tonight, and I went through what I call...... well, I can't say on here, so use your imagination. Basically, I do everything wrong, and if I get something right, I die anyway. Tonight's highlight, well, I have two. The good & bad. The good was that I reached 2.00 on XBL tonight. The bad, the real highlight, was during this slump. This guy walks into my claymore, he stops right on top of it. I see it explode with this guy directly on top of it from across the room. He stops, probably because he thought he was dead. He's still standing there, so I rush over to him, and I get couple rounds of AA12(fullauto shotgun) into him, he picks up his gun and shoots me dead. It's just so ridiculous in the CoD world sometimes......

 

[Icarus25]

Now, if they blatantly ignore the objective, that is bad. Though sometimes it is hard to tell - I've walked by people taking a point to sweep the area so they don't get picked off, etc.

It's pretty easy to tell when you look at their score and it's pretty much all from kills and maybe 1 or 2 positions. I understand that someone has to provide cover for people trying to take positions. It just annoyed the crap out of me that my team could hold 2 or 3 points most of the match only to lose because some jackarse can only win by trying to get a nuke. The last thing I expect is for a TDM to break out in Domination.

I've tried to just cover a point but I just can't do it, I have to be on the move. I'm sure you noticed, Azure, in the games with Eric the other night I was always around a 1:1 kill/death but also close to or in the top 3 scores. And I finally got my cold-blooded back now this time around so no more worrying about enemy air support.

Its the elevator bug/glitch... just type it in on Youtube... you will find it... and you can do it on the snow map called Derail.... I dont think theyve patched this yet... I believe you can do it on Invasion or Karachi as well.... Some sort of button combinations with movements and poof youre in the air for 30 seconds or something...

-edit: OOps... shouldve read further in the thread... Tree'd by EVERYONE.. lol

 

[uk86ze]

Cant you get a stinger to them once their up in the air?
Must be a title for that somewhere.

 

[Dragonistic]

Stingers don't lock on to people, or anything bar air vehicles, so I'm thinking no.

 

[HAD2]

still not had 6 extra kills yet for the nuke otherwise my kill streak would be 46... & its pretty easy to get a nuke thats why i never use it as my kill streak no more because i have done the challenges & got the spinning nuke emblem for it. no more chopper gunner neither for me, i did the prestige challange for it,1000 kills. ...ps.to get easy nukes i use the the harriet air strike (1) chopper gunner (2) & the nuke (3) i give fairplay this tip an he nearly got one soon as he changed his kill streaks....but now i use attack helicopter (1) , pave low (2) then the ac130 (3).. and i still get over a 25 kill streak no problem,theres no point running round like a headless chicken lol cod is a waiting game, once your in a nice spot your laughing the kills fly up. my setups are bling pro,cold blooded pro & ninja pro,I use most of the assault rifles & smg's with a silence & fmj. cant really say my best gun yet but the m4a1 & the ump45 are wicked ,so is the barrett 50 cal with fmj & heart beat sensor,👍

 

[breakpoint]

I can lend some info on the elevator subject since I'm a glitcher ( I just like finding exploits in games, I'm not a cheater or a booster). With the elevators you don't just push a few different buttons and poof your in the air. One of two things happen with them, either you are really good at doing them and it doesn't take too long to do it or it will take you a while to do it. SO, I don't mind people doing them because they are the slowest of any type of glitch that you can do, it will take you 10 minutes sometimes just to get into the elevator. And no they won't patch them, they really can't because its a problem with the game physics engine its self. You can still do them on COD4 and WaW, WaW just had a TON more of them to exploit. There are always glitches in games, but at least with IW you can't get under the maps by crawling through the end of bricks and such! On the airport stage they still haven't patched the wall rub yet, you can jump a certain way and barrier break into the jet engines where you can shoot out but nobody else can shoot you, funny

Similar set up to me except I'm still working on my Pros for ninja and Cold blooded, not to far to go IIRC. The major differences come with the streak rewards, as I use UAV, Predator and Harrier, sometimes swapping out the UAV or Predator for a Stealth bomber or AC130. More likely to keep the UAV because it helps out everyone and nobody bothers to shoot them down (except me ). I highly recommend next time we're all on we get more people on the UAVs and counter UAVs so we have a bigger effect against strong opponents who don't allow big streaks. I believe uk was using care packages to great effect as well.

Did you guys have a strategy planned out yesterday? I sort of just joined in on the fun but got put on the other team... which didnt have much strategy at all so I just run and gunned my way through the match... You did get me quite a bit though... Quick reactions and precise when watching the kill cam (me that is)...

Myself, Uk and fairplay were communicating regularly of goings on and movement up until about 10pm my time which is when I had to shut up on my headset for my parents sake. It wasn't always super precise communication but it was regular and clear like on demolition it would be the enemy is going for this base, or I have this one covered etc. etc. Thats all you really need unless you're brand new to the game, say what you see, what you're going to do and if you need help ask for it. A win is never guaranteed but it helps and more importantly to me, it's just straight up more fun.

I agree... Playing with a group is way more fun... I always try to play with UK, Fairplay and the rest as much as I can because of this... I would turn on my mic as well but its on the PS EYE and if I turn it on the rest of the group will hear my TV and such so I just leave it off... I think its time to invest in one of those nice Sony PS headsets... Oh well, hopefully I bump into you all more often... 👍

 

[uk86ze]

see you guys tonight but might not be on long as the wife is hiding my pads and game now so promised not to spend to much time.

 

[Dragonistic]

I may not be available at all tonight, packing ready to go to uni tomorrow.

 

[GM]

If there are any GTP games tonight, add George0393.. need some new people to play with

 

[boiltheocean]

I love the Spas-12 shotgun. It's got a decent range and good fire rate, couple that with erratic movement and it's a sure fire way to annoy the enemy. Seriously, erratic movement wins this game.

 

[Legendary]

Spas 12 shotgun is epic. I have the prestige emblem for it now, It is is the first prestige emblem I have gotten which shows how much I use it. I do share the assaults around though. My next emblem will be M4A1 and then FAL and then Barret .

 

[Sureboss]

Quite liking the ranger as a Shotgun (literally started using it tonight), got a few kills with it in a 41-17 (or 16/18) at Karachi. Killed 4 of their team in the overtime.

 

[boiltheocean]

I've never really got why I see so many people using Akimbo Ranger's. From my own experience they are underpowered and the range is terrible. Do they mistake them for 1887's or what?
