Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Yeah just ignore them, it's hackers trying to make money. You send them points, they invite you to a hacked game that gets you to level 70 10th prestige with 1 kill.

Then you get banned a few weeks later, probably.

I wish. My buddy at work did that on two XBL accounts weeks ago. I think the first one was done over couple of months ago.

He only keeps escalating it. Now he is trying to get ten bucks for mod that gets you additional perks, two primaries, automatic bling perk, etc.

P.S. How much longer does double XP last on XBL? Anybody know?

 

[Sharky.]

Regarding modders/glitchers/hackers/cheaters in general, I have no real issue with using mods/hacks (four perks, two primaries, shoot CG ammo from your knife, aimbots etc) in private matches, but if you bring those hacks into public games you should be run over by a truck* and your Xbox + games + computer thrown off a very tall cliff.



*note that I'm not being serious here, but the concept is similar. Hack, glitch or cheat and you deserve to be banned or whatever.

This game still irritates the hell out of me.

 

[a6m5]

I agree with you Sharky.

To any XBL players out there: Did you guys download the free night vision headset for your avatar? I got it on the same page as the stimulus package, I'm not sure if the package purchase is required.

Also for getting the stimulus on the release day, Xbox Live sent me a message saying that it appreciated my loyalty, and was extending my Gold Membership for extra 7 days. All I can say is that SONY better extend that kind of warm courtesy on my three PSN accounts. I'd be p1s*ed if they didn't.

I was telling my X360 controller the same thing! I hope it still works!

 

[Time_Attack]

I'm so close to putting my controller through my TV sometimes. Only thing stopping me is that I really don't want to have to go out and buy another HD flat screen.

You ever notice that when you get painkiller you are spawned all the way on the other side of the map but when someone on the other team gets it they are spawned right around the corner you just went around...

oh and its also always when I'm one kill away from getting one of my killstreaks. why the hell not, right?

 

[Dragonistic]

Oh yeah, tar with silencer, slight of hand pro, hardline pro or coldblooded pro, and ninja pro=win everytime. The tar doesn't need stopping power so it frees up that second slot which is nice for a change since I use allot of sub machine guns. I have now stopped using the scar for the M4, I need to use the scar for another month to finish up my mastery completely, I have the pretty little gold scar emblem but its not finished to the fullest yet. Think I have 300 more kills or so.

That's the way I like to use the TAR, silenced. It's high on my list to become my stealth assault rifle of choice, the SCAR also does very nicely and I'm yet to try the F2K enough to formulate an opinion.

 

[Time_Attack]

The TAR is great silenced but its not as accurate at range as the scar. The extra 10 rounds is helpful though.

I did that when I was a kid. Street Fighter II, and damnnear destroyed my sweet stereo, which cost $500 at the time. Since then, I don't throw it anymore, unless it's at something soft(they can still bounce!). Controller's expensive too though. I've gotz'd some issues.

One that bugs me the most right now are the claymores. My claymores are somehow inferior to one that blows me up, with almost a certainty. When I trip a claymore, I don't survive it. When they trip mine, they can walk through it. They can run through it. They can stand on it as it is exploding. And they seem to happen a lot, of course, when I'm struggling with my game.

Also lag/connection speed always bugs me. Especially when I KNOW I was better than the other guy, when I should have just pwn'd him, but my bullets doesn't even register, and I drop. I know everybody suffers from this one, I just can't help but get bent out of shape.

 

[Time_Attack]

oh god I know exactly what you're talking about with the claymores. Just the other day I had a guy coming up a set of stairs with his akimbo rangers he shoots me through my own claymore that was at his head level and he walks away.

And more recently as in tonight I was using the P90 again. I'm pretty sure it shoots nerf darts... Its amazing how much sooner I can start shooting with that thing and still die.

Another thing that has been irritating me is how quickly the spawns switch in TDM. By the time I get to the other side of the map on say highrise the other team is already spawning where I just was not 15 seconds ago.

I bet this guy would be good in MW2.

[Time_Attack]

you think he can run around with a heart beat sensor no scoping?

Even he would get hit markers with a .50 cal with Stopping Power. The amount of times I fail to get kills with that set up is a joke.

 

[Time_Attack]

I may be a bit odd but my sniper class is a WA2000 with cold blooded. I don't think stopping power does much on the rifles unless you silence them.

It depends which rifle, the Barrett and Intervention (the most popular snipers) gain a one shot kill capability in the stomach as well as chest, neck and head, which doesn't sound like much but when you're closer to someone it makes a big difference as you don't have time to adjust, same with quick scoping or any time you need to kill someone in a rush.

I got that too, but why would you want that on PSN? It's free anyway isn't it?

That was my point. XBL has its advantages, but not a $50 worth! Per year!

I got the map pack on the first day and I didn't get any message giving me anything

Aww, come on! Even Mog got one, and he lives even further from Microsoft than you!

P.S. You should at least go for the free avatar goggles.

Here's 2 names for reporting on Live if people can do this for me please;

Urb3n L3dg3nd
Quick SniiPz

Both were boosting and Quick SniiPz was using something to help with his aim. I'm trying to get as many people to do this in the hope they'll at least get investigated.

EDIT: Now another one; hitman3297

Three words will some up my session so far tonight. One Man Army. I've been using it with my trusty M16 Holographic but my word does it open doors, yet it doesn't feel cheap (unless you use it with a tube of course!). Unlike Battlefield I don't have someone to give me extra ammo, I burn through it alot because I stay alive alot, even Scavenger Pro fails me sometimes. I also like to use stuns to check corners and such so it's proving very handy on a defensive set up, and when it's time to offence give me 5 seconds and I'm ready for it! That said so far I've just changed to the same class again to get more ammo.

Also using Sit Rep pro now which is an extremely useful perk, serving me well indeed, combining both in the past 3 games (which is actually my first games since getting SR Pro and using OMA full stop) and my WORST game has been 21-5 using 3-5-7 Streaks. Best was a 40-3 including a quad semtex kill for good measure. In just those 3 games I've racked up over 70 OMA kills (streak rewards don't count either!). Whether I'll completely phase out my normal Scavenger Pro I'm not sure, but it's a contender as it increase my flexibility. The question is do I really benefit from changing primaries that much without a secondary to begin with.

OMA does leave you vulnerable for a few seconds, it also disrupts your offensive rhythm somewhat.

Anybody know what the update supposedly did to OMA? I tested it right after the update, but didn't notice any tweaking.

Indeed it does disrupt your rhythm and you are an easy kill, thats why I think it's better for defence to begin with, when an Assault rifle you're familiar with get's the job done at almost any range then swap to an offensive set up when the time comes which does NOT have OMA and commit to it. Naturally you're more likely to die on attack then defense so having that other slot is important to gain every advantage you can, I personally like swapping to Marathon, CB and a UMP.

I started out game loving SCAR, and it's been back for a pretty big role in my rotation again. Its only shortcoming that I can think of is the fire rate, which bothers me none. UMP is nice, but for long shots, you need bit of patience & skills, which I sort of lack.

When I get to lv.48, silenced ACR will be my main gun again. But in place of submachine gun, or to use with cold blooded(no stopping power), SCAR will still be my choice.

 

[Dragonistic]

I to enjoy the SCAR as a none-stopping power weapon, it's one of my favourites in an aggressive role and it's been swapping places with the UMP alot. The UMP is a little tricky at distance and certainly not something you want to go barrel to barrel using at a range. That's why I don't tend to use it on any open area. For example in my last game, a 45-6, I used my trusty M16 for a large period of the game on Estate, but then we pushed them back in to A as I tried desperately to regain the game which my team had already as good as lost before I even joined. So I found a corner to quickly change to my silenced UMP, stormed in with Marathon through the front door and knifed 2 guys who weren't ready for me, killed the same 2 when they came back for more, then took out another 4 guys before my team showed up to capture the flag with me, killing another with a Predator before I was finally taken down as they all continued to spawn on A despite that we had just taken that flag from them, we were dominating but we had left the other flags clear. It ended up going from 60-70 points down, to a close 194-200 loss so I was happy with my work.

That is the beauty of OMA, but it does mean you need to be able to effectively play different roles and know when to swap or you're wasting your time.

I think they just tweaked the tube, ever since the update I have had a really hard time getting kills with the tube like I could before. On the bailout match we played there was 2 people camping out in one room on opposite sides so there was no way to get in without getting killed. Usually I could pop a tube in there and it would kill them both because it was a pretty small room, I tried today and didn't get a single kill, not even a marker. So I had to run in there and actually got both of them. I had the thumper on the other day and had a few times where the grenade landed right in front of the person and nothing, just blew up and they kept on going

You could well be right, after all the only complaints you hear about OMA really is related to using it to get infinite grenades for the tube so it's certainly OMA related if that's the case. However I still see plenty of people getting plenty of tube kills, some from outrageous range, so I'm certainly thinking if they were nerfed a little, they're still plenty powerful enough.

 

[Legendary]

Hate or break up whatever may be going on here but excellent news has arrived!!!!

On fourzerotwo's twitter he mentioned that at the end of today (I believe it is around 4pm where he lives atm) the double xp will be turned off and when they do that, regular Team Tactical will be coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the excitement but that was my favourite mode on cod4, I loved it. Hopefully it isnt just a 360 update today but all platforms. If they dont release TT until the map pack for PS3, oh boy, that would be BS.

 

[[empty space]]

is it simply because ive not played for two weeks or does the famas and the m16 feel like the same weapon now? it fires faster than what i remember.

 

[Time_Attack]

One game mode I'd like to see them bring back is old school TDM. No classes, weapons and perks are pick ups. It was my favorite mode in COD4.

 

[breakpoint]

I am starting just hate MW2, came close to crushing it today.Its getting absurd on xbl, if I could just get in one room and not have to jump around for 30 minutes because of F'ing modders. They need to do something about all of the modding, ban the entire console, ban the ip addy too, who cares if there are more people in the house that play, too bad. Its getting to where I am so ready for treyarch to release theres so I can play it and all of the idiots can have MW2, either that or just start cheating like everyone else so its fair. I know they can do something about it, detect it, stop it, why in the hell are they dragging on this issue!?
