Mine's 2.0. It's harder to get a huge ratio without the stacking killstreaks, lol

got mine up to 1.12 just now, raping on Nuketown. we kept voting for that map and I kept raping lol. had like 5 wins in a row. I was trying to upload a video of my best game, 30-11, but I can't figure this stupid theater out. I think this is saying you can upload 30 second clips. What is the damn point of that. I am trying to see if I can jimmy-rig some kind of setup to record it with a miniHD video recorder lol.

That is my least favorite map. Respawn points blow and it'd damn near impossible to get any kill streaks going.
I will say though that the AK74 destroys on that map.

Finally made it to stage 11 in the "five" zombie map. That's only cause I set the mode to defcon 5 and got a big Gatling gun powerup and was able to mow down the zombies.

I failed the next one cause as I set it to defcon 5, a bunch of zombies massed up near the teleport to the PAP room

i tried a few different ones and end up going back to the small dot.

but i seem to like the green and yellow dot better then the standard red...

If its designed the way I think it is. I'd change mine to red color so I can be like a predator.

I should probably play more multiplayer, but I'm having fun with zombies.

man I love how it auto-saves replays of your matches!

also, I love how you can get up to high perches. One of my biggest complaints about MW2 was that in many maps, there are high perches but you can't get to them. In this game, if you see a high perch, chances are you can get to it. Pretty damn cool.

wow, so that's the Nuketown map everyone talks about. It's tiny! I'd love to wreak havoc on that map with a shotgun. oh man, damn you srika, that looks like a lot of fun.

It may not be easy but always mind your radar in the corner of your eye. Don't stare at it, just make you sure know where gunshots are coming from. It will keep you alive and maybe get you a kill too. I guess I'm overly paranoid... I used a silencer all the time in COD4. You also ran right past a bunch of people at the edges of your screen

If I was wide out in the open in MW2 and the harrier was starting to turn towards me, I'd get behind the biggest closest solid object I could find and go prone. Also if your reflexes are there, if you pay attention to that red parentheses that shows up when you get shot, they point towards the direction where you're getting shot from and you might be able to kill the guy who saw you first.

Focus less on how the map looks and more on your surroundings not bashing, just trying to help

played domination on nuketown last night. wow. what a blood bath. the team that gets the jump on the kills ends up owning and you can never come back. we did it twice in a row. the first game I went 20-40...it was aggravating as shit. spawning into grenades an bullets. The second game was much better once I learned to just hang out. I went 30-30.

Unfortunately you can't make custom shapes, and Treyarch were too mature to include the penis.


And is Nuketown in your ground war playlists? On PC, every server is 18 players (which is gay that there are no smaller servers, even FFA is 18) and nuketown is hilarious sometimes with so many people. If you get the rolling thunder killstreak it can get like 5 or 6 people easily

I loved how last night this level 30 something guy was saying that everyone with a < 1 K/D ratio sucked and should get a new hobby. Fool was only like 1.5 or so. And everyone that did bad was < level 15. Myself I was 7.

hey Im a total amateur in terms of strategy. I mean I know theres a whole dimension of FPS that I either dont know about, forget about, or dont care about. I did see the guys I missed, kinda surprised myself because I don't think that happens very often. But who knows lol. Also I didn't use any equipment. lots of room to improve, for sure.

when I get out on the field, I just want to kill. Im not really using my head much in terms of strategy.

I always run past peeps that I should have seen. I blame that on the shitty peripheral vision in FPS games. That has always been my biggest complaint. I know it's hard to mimic since it's not 3-d, but I wish developers would put some more thought into better peripheral vision.

Equipment is a big part of my strategy
