You're all jealous of my .75 KDR...
*sobs*
I need to stop trolling with riot shields and actually play

HighGain510 · 11-13-2009, 02:06 PM

That's my problem too... playing with riot shields is fun as hell but it's also a good way to have your K/D drop like a stone when you start getting ganged up on by a team who knows what they are doing!

Scar Symmetry · 11-13-2009, 02:30 PM

Haven't used a riot shield in Multiplayer yet... apart from one time I tried to melee him with it but I'd forgotton how to do it so he killed me

FretWizard88 · 11-13-2009, 02:32 PM

went 36 and 4 last night on Domination. I was kicking ASS!

Dude i get killstreaks with the riot shield, haha

gambit · 11-13-2009, 04:19 PM

thats not even funny scar. seriously

vampiregenocide · 11-13-2009, 05:37 PM

People are moaning about COD6 on the telly, particularly that airport level. I can't see the whole argument against video games, its all about responsibility and rationality at the end of the day :shrugs: I've played lots of violent games and watched violent films and I haven't killed anymore...yet.

Scar Symmetry · 11-13-2009, 05:41 PM

I see why they're up in arms about it, it's pretty harrowing.

Apart from that airport scene, which I agree was pretty unnecessary, I don't see the problem with it. Theres no real gore in it, Left 4 Dead is much worse, its purely the fact this is a war game and people get touchy about that. Theres worse games out there, and at the end of the day if you don't liek it, don't play it.

Scar Symmetry · 11-13-2009, 05:56 PM

Oh no doubt, the people complaining about the game are people that will never play the game, that's a given.

What did they actually say on the news? They will never manage to stop the game being sold in the UK so I'm not sure what the argument is apart from "it's just bad mmmkay?!".

Just that it was obscene and they couldn't see the fascination with killing people.

But no one complained when kids used to play cowboys and indians, and that in my opinion is much more unacceptable than MW2 when you think about it. War will always be an important facet of our make up, particularly men. Its within out nature to prepare ourselves for inevitable conflict as would happen in nature, and that is why we are fascinated by war games. Its a vessel by which we hone those skills, of course we don't use them as much nowadays.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it though

Thats just what I think in a nutshell.

Scar Symmetry · 11-13-2009, 06:15 PM

Fair enough dude. I just like blowing shit up

I'm still disgusted at the millions of parents that bought this for their kids though. I was in a game earlier with a kid that was ELEVEN.

The fact that their parents bought it for them/let them play it is pure irresponsibility and has put into perspective for me how many irresponsible, shitty parents are out there.

MikeH · 11-13-2009, 06:19 PM

Not only will it cease to be discontinued in the UK, but anywhere for that matter. Any game that rakes in $310 million on its premiere date is gonna stay on the market for a good while.

Yep

Kinda embarassing really.

Just played some third person team deathmatch and search and destroy. What a mind.....

orb451 · 11-14-2009, 11:10 AM

Well I was on a trip to Chicago for work up until game release on Tuesday, didn't get it till 8PM that night. Yes I did play with the game in 1v1 early because I had my box modded to play copied games but I didn't play online (only system link) and never used my live account to play it.

I'm sure a lot of you heard what happened to us. We got our consoles banned. Yep, signed on when I got back into town with the legit game in hand and boom, banned. It was bound to happen at some point so whatever, I went out and bought a new xbox. Incidentally they ban the console, not the hard drive attached to it and not the gamertag (though that can be banned for other shit).

So I hooked up the new xbox and went straight to multiplayer. My first impressions of real, actual game play are a bit on the fence though. It seems the lag and hit detection are way off. Lag is lag, but the hit detection + lag = not so much fun. It reminds me of MP in W@W which I ....ing hated. You put a clip into a guy as he's running and he just keeps on running, turns around, fires 3 rounds and you're dead. That's bullshit. I really feel that they wanted to cram so many goofy icons/emblems/accolades into the game that they sacrificed the actual game play. Don't get me wrong, the game is good, I just think it could be a bit better. I'm not going to complain about weapons, perks or even maps, it's their host matching system that I think still needs work (which would help with the lag).

As well as the hit detection, which I would hope they could patch. How's your experience overseas & elsewhere been? Are you getting matched up with locals? Any super laggy matches? How about hit detection, you guys notice a difference between this and COD4 as an example?

Here's my stats so you don't think I completely suck and therefore can't play:

Playtime: 23H46Mins
Level 51
Win Ratio: 2.03
Streak: 36

K/D: 2.03
Streak: 30

Accuracy:
18.45%

I've been playing mainly TDM and Free-for-all (8 person lobby).

gambit · 11-14-2009, 11:26 AM

dude, i do domination mostly and i would say about 5 times i have to face this commy group of russians, they wont speak in anything other than russians. i dont know why but when they talk, it irritates the hell out of me. i only bring this up because i dont know if we are getting paired on a global level or not. i do love talking shit after i beat them though.

vampiregenocide · 11-14-2009, 11:35 AM

Hit register is still bad.

I'm with you on this. It used to happen a lot on COD4, but never this much. I can't tell you how many times I've just stared at my screen in disbelief after this happening, usually followed by either "Bullshit!" or "Wow, really?".

It is very frustrating, but the way I see it if your K/D spread is above 1.00, it doesn't matter that much anyway.

orb451 · 11-14-2009, 01:12 PM

Vamp & Scar, glad to see I'm not the only one noticing this... and yeah "bullshit" and "what.the....." are usually what I'm saying too... hopefully it will either change with a patch/update or I'll just get more used to it. What are you favorite maps so far????

Mine are Estate & Favela for free for all and Afghan & Terminal for TDM... definitely not a fan of Wasteland for anything, I heard that's a recycled map from COD2. You'd think with 2 years and who knows how much in budgeting they could have come out with a full 16 maps entirely original. Oh well, here's to hoping the first map pack to come out doesn't suck balls.

Hit me up with a friend request if you want to play sometime:

GT: IbanezS5470

Scar Symmetry · 11-14-2009, 01:14 PM

Mine are all of them

Afghan and Favela especially.

GT: Caveman Dave 21

Zak1233 · 11-14-2009, 01:34 PM

damnnn, it sucks so hard knowing I could get this game right now but cant due to t-mobile's stupidity

feel free to add me so when the time comes i can play you guys

GT: ZakDL

vampiregenocide · 11-14-2009, 01:58 PM

My fave map is probably Quarry. The rocks make an interesting cover, but I also like Favela. Terminal is pretty cool too.

I have red camo on my Scar now, along with a heartbeat sensor and holo sight. It owns

Got am AA12 as my secondary.

What you guys think of third person gametypes?

GT : Fear Signal

Scar Symmetry · 11-14-2009, 02:01 PM

Yeah Quarry is sweet. I'm rockin' the Urban Camo on my SCAR-H, looks sooo good.

I switch between AT4-HS and AA-12 as secondary, though when I've unlocked the M93 and TMP I'll be using those instead.
