You know you are too obsessed with MW2 when every plane you see in the sky reminds you of a UAV...

I did it again on skyscraper, got on the helicopter platform and started killing. it's a great vantage point, just move around a lot and hit people - seems like most of the guys are focused on the regular lines of sight and the buildings - I mean, what kind of moron would just stand up there on the heliport and start shooting??? oh...

God damn this game is crack. I'm not that addicted to it where I'll flake to stay at home and play, but when I went out with some friends tonight they were all talking about MW2. and one of my friends even has dreams about playing

we're even making jokes.... another friend of mine saw "Pantene Pro" in his shower and it reminded him of MW2. and that if MW2 was real life, it would suck ass, cause there'd be no such thing as final stand. Once you get shot... there's no getting back up you're either dead or crippled. we're fucking losers

I dreamed about MW2 the other night too. Ironically, it was the story line and I haven't even finished the single player yet (I rarely play the campaign). But in the dream, the Marines came in at the end to say the day

One of my games tonight I played on Highrise and half their team was sniping/camping on/near the helipad, the rest of them were rushing with marathon/lightweight and 1887s. We switched spawn sides at least 6 times

Sometimes this game is beyond aggravating.

Last night I got thrown into a glitched private party TDM (I was playing sabotage) where friendly fire was on---you could shoot your teammates. That was ridiculously out of control.

When I finally got into a "regular" match, I shot a few people square in the chest and I died. I watched the kill cam and it showed him shooting the wall (I was already past him). :angryfire

There was also a guy I emptied an ACR clip into form across the room, yet he still managed to knife me.

I hope they fix some of these issues (knifing from a mile away, akimbo 1887s,). Those are they types of things that made me stop playing Halo.

That said, I enjoy the campaign and the Spec Ops. I do the opposite of is300. Whenever I get aggravated by the MP, I do the campaign.

oh... is it faux pas to shoot from the helipad?

I didn't know there was a "proper" way to play that map...

They're nerfing the akimbo 1887s soon (PS3 has already been patched) so have your fun with them while they're still overpowered.

1887s are nerfed for PS3. I don't know if its me or the riot shields may be nerfed as well. Everytime I was using one, i would get bullets to my head and when i watch the killcam, it shows the enemy shooting through the shield too. I think they also up'ed the range on all the other shotguns as well.

No, that's actually the best way to play that map. Have people camp outside so nobody can leave, and have others rushing in so it pushes them back into their own spawn. It's just gay as fuck when you're trapped in a corner of the building because if so much as a finger pops out they'll shoot you, and they also have their buddies spilling into your spawn from every entrance.

Good, finally. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to give a shotgun a longer effective kill range than any of the SMGs, let alone let it be an akimbo shotgun.

elaborating more on my previous post, there isn't really a correct way to play this game. I just think the current 360 1887s are lame and camping is fine, but its stupid if some guy is prone with a LMG and is aiming down the sights at a random doorway for what seems like minutes at a time and never moves. That's not tactical.... that's just gay.

even better is on top of the helipad, right on the edge where that chain link fencing border is, facing their building

I suck at placing sentry guns and I always end up asking my friend for a good spot, but that spot I found on my own and it kicks ass.

I don't like how your stance doesn't change how accurate the guns are. There's just as much recoil while prone as while standing

cool deals - I wasn't sure. I mean, you guys are pros so I wanted to hear it from you.

regarding stance etc. I have been watching some Bad Company 2 videos, looks like that game is more realism - like it has bullet drop for long snipes so you have to aim above the person's body. things like that. looks really good, will come in good timing after im tired of MW2 heh.

Really? I never really tested and just assumed that they'd program it so that it would be more accurate the lower you are. I'm probably crouching 60% of the time. That sucks.

When are the 360 1887s getting their updates? I can't wait. I see SO MANY frickin people using that as their main, it is pretty damn ridiculous.

hmm, never really noticed that the recoil doesn't change. I usually crouch to expose less of myself when I'm sniping and usually go prone when I get stunned/flashed so I'm a smaller target.

I don't remember but I think stance affects the sway of sniper rifles when not holding your breath.... if not, it should. I know that stance affects idle sway though, at least it did on the G36 did in COD4, confirmed on Denkirson's site

Agreed. I can't stand how people are changing the definition of "camping". Camping is when you sit staring at a doorway while wielding an overpowered weapon. Camping is NOT when you sit in a room sniping out of a window.

I hate how people complain about someone sniping out of a window in derail with a claymore at the door. Or in this case laying down on a helipad. That's called playing smart (A.K.A. tactics).

Is it just me or is Team Deathmatch more fun that FFA? In COD4 it was the other way around, just for me at least.

ive only been playing FFA for the last week (and thats when I do my best) - I tried TDM last night and thought it sucked. lol

I always liked FFA, going back to Unreal 1999... I never even played any of the team games in Unreal... always FFA.

I prefer TDM for some reason, I guess it's a little more laid back and I usually play with friends. But FFA is a great way to sharpen your reflexes. FFA on Rust = madness! Love using a SMG on that map, the few times I've played it I usually own. One time I won and had double the kills of the 2nd place guy and less deaths than anyone else. muhaha

oh and I think someone was mentioning how Last Stand Pro is a bitch to get. I agree, they nerfed it because in COD4 once in a while I used to get shot from beyond 1887 range, and I would somehow be able to snipe people across the map with my deagle. Now it seems like there's delay from when you go down to when you pull out your pistol, and you can't rotate as fast.

I found out if you have the M93 as a secondary, you can use it on LS and its a lot easier. Also if you have your pistol/M93 out when you "die", there won't be a delay for switching to your pistol. If you're really desperate to get it, in Karachi you can jump off a building with your pistol out when you see someone below you and it'll put you in LS. Just make sure he doesn't see you, of course

another tip for those who like to use pistols on the console, modify your controller grip. When I pistol, I usually have either my middle finger or ring finger on the trigger and I've been accused of using a modded controller. Not sure how this would work on the PS3, but yeah.

Hmm.... maybe I'll try and make a pistol video.

and

Agree 100% I think its because the MW2 maps have so many places to hide its just so easy to get shot from behind and people always seems to spawn right behind you as well. Also, unlike the maps on COD4 that are good for both TDM and FFA, it seems like most the maps in MW2 are more suited for TDM. The only map I can think of that is suited for TDM is Rust, and that's only if you like an arena style death match (like Kill House in COD4)
