I kinda wish there was a button to dive... (like dive from a grenade), maybe on the next MW... double tap jump button while running lets you dive further...

I also had a dream the other night that they added a button to whistle... so like say... you sneak up behind someone, and just before you knife him, you whistle for him to turn around LOL.

^Couldn't you whistle like that on Splinter Cell? Or maybe it was another game.

I like to run up and aim at their head for a good 2-3 seconds before I shoot them

warning: occasionally takes 2+ shots though, make sure they're dead! or you'll find out what happens the hard way

^When I'm a smart ass like that I end up getting owned myself.


I was playing some FFA last night and was on a rampage... I was 20-1 and people started bitching that I was "boosting" (there was someone in the room that was 0-19) but I had killed nearly every single player twice in multiple locations throughout the map.

Ownage.

Damn, that's a terrible coincidence. But still, 9/10 times they're probably boosting...

I've started to play the objective games like domination, sabotage and headquarters. Sabotage and HQ are pretty fun Sucks when you get shitty teammates though, like in one game when we had some laggy fuck from the UK who didn't have a mic and wouldn't leave. Instead he probably heard our bitching and enjoyed standing there doing nothing. In one game when we died all we saw was him standing in an empty room, shooting his shotgun at the air!

I used to not give a crap about winning the match, only about doing good scorewise.... kinda fun to have a different spin on it.

danger close barely helps at all. i swear i dropped one in shipyard, i think thats the right map, right against the plane next to the truck to get a guy in between them and it didn't do anything. i thought it was lag but i consistently couldn't kill anyone. just hurt them

my tube class was the scar w/the tube and the thumper

kind of stupid imo to nurf a grenade launcher, if you get hit by one, you're pretty much dead.

if they keep this up the whole game will be nerfed, which will result in a frustrating game and the already nerfed guns even more nerfed bc of the "too powerful" shit.

can we agree al those people who complain about the game just suck at the game in general.

I think we can agree that some things were overpowered, like the 1887s. But my opinion is that none of these things should have ever been put in in the first place. They need to just get rid of commando (teleporting around to knife people is just stupid), all akimbo guns, and all grenade launchers. Sure, it's cool to have a grenade launcher, and guns have them in real life, but it's just not balanced to have a gun that shoots explosions

They nerfed the nade launchers? what about the semtex/frags? I still occasionally got the spawn kill on Scrapyard by throwing a semtex towards the truck on the other side...

I don't even use them that much.... but it's sooooo satisfying to get someone through a window from far away. Like those window campers on Quarry. I miss half the time, but when I don't its

the 1887 patch on the other hand was way overdue... sheesh

Ok, they're still decent. I got a spawn triple kill on afghan last night by shooting it from where A is on domination over at that crack that leads to B. I also have the shot from the top of the cliff into the bunker on the other side of the map mastered pretty well.

I thought so too...one match I played on Friday, one guy shot an RPG at a Harrier, and it shot out flairs, then I shot a Stinger at it, it shot out flairs and then my second Stinger actually made contact.

Stingers seem to randomly miss the harriers for me. They really need to make the attack helicopter better though. The harriers are ridiculously better than the chopper

For serious. The Harrier can shoot down all other helicopters including attack helicopter, pave low, and even the chopper gunner. One time I hopped into my CG and I see the Harrier right in front of me firing missiles and me going back into normal mode. No flares could save you from that

So lately my ping has been around 300ms for anywhere I go, and it's the same if I try to play World at War, but if I play Counter Strike my ping is like normal around 40 or so. So, Call of Duty is messed up for me, and I'm forwarding the right ports, so I don't get why it's doing that. It's unplayable with a connection like this

so is that how it is in real war? after they get a certain number of kills they earn a flare they can throw on the ground, and can choose from those arsenal of airpower and such?

Yes, haven't you seen the videos of us troops jumping off cliffs in Afghanistan and knifing people? This is how wars are won. Also, everybody knows that claymores can tell friendly from foe, snipers usually do their best work while running side to side and jumping, and noobtubes are frowned upon by all sides.
