The Type95 is a weird gun for me. I used to be spanking with it then I started sucking with it. But then again, fuck what people say about it, I play for AC130s, not the approval of my enemies. I'll definitely let BO2 breathe a long time. But I'll hold on to MW3 until MW4 comes out.
Statements like these make me almost throw up in my mouth. The fact that anyone would even try out BO2 makes m... Ugh. Ugh.... UUUUUUUUuuuuuughhhhhh. koff koff. I just wanna s........... UUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggghhhhhhh... koff koff fucking black o.... UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggghhhhh. Koff ko.........UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... In summary, fuck a bunch of IW.
Not buying it. Fuck Treyarch, fuck rc-xds, fuck dogs, fuck quadrotor killstreaks. I think I'll be hopping back to PC gaming, CS:GO is looking pretty damn good.
I've been trying to complete the operations challenges lately. Got all of them done except for Sabotage. My god, was Search and Destroy a miserable experience. I have never run into so much rage quitting as I did in this game mode. I lost connection to host on probably a dozen winning matches. No one wants to spectate for 2 minutes on the game losing round so everyone just backs out. If the host isn't on your team, you will not record a win. As bad as it was, there were a lot of intense clutch moments where I was the last man alive. Only once, I successfully took out all 6 people on the enemy team solo. My team was cheering me on even though I couldn't hear them until the round ended. Sabotage is proving to be a pain, too. 25 minutes matches that end in a loss are not fun.
I know mentioning Treyarch to some of you is like “accidentally” sticking it in a girl’s ass, but some new info was released that makes 2 game modes that I usually hate seem very interesting. The campaign mode will have a branching storyline and requires players to make choices that determine which path you take and how the story ends. The campaign is also influenced by Strike Force Operations, which are small sandbox battles allowing you to either fight on the ground, pilot quadrotors, or direct a squad from an Overwatch. You can use whatever method you see fit to achieve the objective, but if you fail the mission, the game continues and the consequences will impact the story. The zombie mode is going to have a 4 vs 4 game type where you will be fighting against another team while also fighting off zombies. For a full read of the press event, have a look at this
Ideas are great. I love all sorts of ideas, especially great ones. Treyarch has great ideas. Its their execution that fucking sucks. Ideas without proper execution is shit.
Execution is hard when you take risks and aim to innovate, it comes with the territory. To be fair, the new Infinity ward hasn’t quite nailed down lag/connection issues even though MW2 ran pretty smoothly. I have to assume that running theater recordings concurrently with matches has something to do with this. IW also tried to move from larger maps to smaller ones with more verticality, but this reduced the effectiveness of some of the weapon classes. Personally, I think a lot of the maps suck and better examples of small, vertical maps can be found in Crysis 2. The spirit of Kill Confirmed was also ruined by guys camping around tags and standing over their own tactical insertion. I haven’t forgotten the problems with BO, but the new Infinity Ward team has it’s own issues with execution as well. If my friends weren't playing MW3, I would have sold it already. The new info on BO2 shows that Treyarch is listening to people’s criticisms and making efforts to address them. I’m sure there are a lot of people who share your complaints and hopefully, Treyarch will have solutions for them this November.
Honestly, the only thing I'm hoping for is a return to the old style of Sabotage. It's the game type my buddies and I play the most and it was just ruined by MW3.
What'd they do to Sabotage? I think I've only played that game type about 10 times in my COD career, so I have no idea. Capture the Flag was the only game type I played in BO, but MW3 changed it around, too. I don't even play it anymore, I dislike it so much. I guess I will be in the minority of people that will be buying BO2. I still play BO every now and then, and will say with absolute certainty I have more fun playing BO than MW3. I used to be able to play BO for hours on end, but I can't even make it through ten games of MW3 before getting bored/pissed off.
Fundamentally, it's the same (neutral bomb w/ 1 round with a 7 second respawn timer). However, the game timer ramped up from 10 minutes to 20 minutes and the time to explosion decreased from 30 seconds to 20 seconds. Doubling the time has encouraged a lot of people to join this game type with their friends under the premise of making it a 20 minute TDM. The random spawns makes it hard to coordinate a response with less than 5 people, as randoms just fuck up and do whatever they want.
Does anyone play anymore? Kubla and I had a 3 hour session yesterday. I'm loving some of the new map packs. Haven't seen anyone on though.
I have been playing periodically, mostly on the weekends after the bar. I made it a personal quest to get gold camo on every gun just to force myself to try something new. Today my buddy and I just unlocked the gold PM9 submachine gun, which looks pretty fucking cool in gold. That thing with rapid fire is nasty up close. The new maps aren't bad with the exception of Foundation, which always seems to turn into a total campfest. Oasis is probably my favorite at the moment. It seems to be a nice mix of open sight lines mixed in with in-your-face CQC.
Here's what I've witnessed playing this past week: Two people take 2 KSG w/ damage shots to the face and not die. A dom flag was taken because of the 10 second air support immunity when you spawn. I only killed 2 out of 4 people with a direct predator hit. A guy lagged over my bouncing betty. His screen froze right before he entered range then unfroze when he was completely over it. I know this because I got to watch the Kill Cam after he shanked me. Sprayed down by akimbo FMGs from 100' away using less than 1/3 of their magazines Sub-machine guns that never take more than 3 shots to kill. NEVER! 2 shots not uncommon. This game is almost unplayable sometimes
I got in for the first time in 2 months with a bunch of buddies. It was awesome - the kids online are terrible. Hell, we don't even pick up the flag anymore on Team Defender to make things more fair (and rack up more kills).
If any of you guys are interested in joining a clan, shoot me a message. We run just about every clan op with a focus on the Hardcore mode ones. Just hit level 22 and got the 4 hours of double XP. Doubled with the double XP weekend I have been averaging 27-35 thousand XP games. God bless S&D. Speaking of which do any of you guys play hardcore in general? I can't stand playing core because seeing 5-7 hit markers makes my skin crawl. I also seem to run into quite a bit fewer issues with kids/campers in hardcore. Yeah noob-tubes will generally kill ya in one hit but the slower pace suits my play style more. Here is my main Hardcore class in case any of you are interested Mp7- Attatch- Silencer + Extended mags Mp9- Silencer Semtex + Concussion Blind Eye Pro Assassin Pro Marksmen Pro Pred-Heli-AC130 I get an AC-130 every 5 games or so using this. A lot of people have asked me why I use marksmen on a Sub machine gun class and the answer is pretty simple. using marksmen has the names show up at a longer distance. In hardcore its 1 shot kills most of the time so all ya gotta do is aim at the middle of the name and lay a burst down. Xbox live Gamertag- DSK 415. Clan name- GRCN
Does anyone still play MW2 on XBL? Anyone? No? Fuck it, I'll still post this: M16 Holo+Silencer Spas-12 Grip+Extended Mags Equipment/Special Grenade depends on personal preference Bling Pro Stopping Power Pro Ninja Pro If you're going to be fighting at optimal SMG range, this class will leave you pounding your fists in frustration while you watch nothing but killcams. Otherwise, it lets you stealthily pick off anything at long range, and the Spas setup all but demands you mute the entire opposing team for the sake of your hearing. I played with this class last night for the first time in months and went positive K/D every game. Only made on AC-130 (which I fucking suck with) but at my very worst I was the guy either holding the entire team at a chokepoint or popping up behind like a ghost. General Pickett wannabe teammates make the latter much easier.
MW3 has become so unplayable for me that I've actually gone back to Black Ops. The final straw was during a game of infected when I was the last survivor. I heard someone coming so I threw my bouncing betty down about 40 feet in front of where I was stationed. I waited for the guy to come around the corner so my bouncing betty could kill him, but as soon as he came around the corner and heard the bouncing betty sound, he LAID DOWN directly where my fucking betty had just shot up in the air from, and survived the explosion completely unharmed. He got up and started sprinting towards me, so I aimed down the sights and shot him either six or seven times in the face/chest with a Striker, getting hit markers every time, but then still died somehow. I assumed it was from a throwing knife, but I got to see the killcam show the guy lay down and jump back up as the bouncing betty explodes above him, sprint towards me, and commando pro knife me from AT LEAST 15 feet away without me shooting a single fucking shot. Game over. I threw my controller against the wall and didn't turn the ps3 on for a couple weeks. I put Black Ops in a few days ago and went 33-0 on Stadium on the third game I played. There's almost no lag, CTF is 10x better on BO, and I find a game almost instantly every time, since there are about two times more people playing CTF on BO than on MW3. Easy decision.
Unplayable? Are you guys on Xbox or something? I run into some bad lag here and there, but unplayable is a stretch. And MacGruber, that's how you survive a bouncing betty! That's why you unlock it at an earlier level than a Claymore. That's not a glitch, that's a game function.
Besides your terrible shooting it sounds like the guy mercked your ass. Diving on the ground is the only way to avoid the bouncing betty's unless you have that perk on that slows explosives reaction times. I just can't stand the complete amount of fucktards. Sure I could just not use my mic but ehh. They were noob tubing this weekend though god damn.
