This is one of my biggest gripes about xbox Live. Nothing on there matches the point packages that you can buy, so that no matter what they set the price of something to be, you always end up having to pay more. I think that is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
I'm at level 67 right now, the first time around, and I hope I have the willpower to quit this game once I Prestige. I play on the PC, so I have nothing to compare it to besides the original MW, but I don't think I can take too many more rounds where it devolves into sniper + motion tracker w/ akimbo G18s vs. Rifle + noob tube w/ Scavenger. Attempting to play Demolition when everyone is using those is fucking infuriating. And $15 for 5 maps? No thank you, I'll just go back to the original MW and play those maps.
I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft is being sued over the fact that they force you to buy more points so you can use up your remaining ones. I'm sure someone is less high than I am right now and remembers more about it.
Sure enough. I don't know how accurate it is, but that article (and the few others that were in my google search) made it sound like Microsoft is already considering moving to a direct currency transaction model and away from the points system it has now. Good news in my opinion.
So do you start over every time you prestige? I'm level 10 1st prestige right now, it kinda pisses me off. On the plus side it's forced me to focus on my fundamentals again and my K/D ratio hasn't suffered much.
Yes. And then every couple times more that you prestige you get one extra custom class slot. Its so mother fucking awesome I couldn't believe it. So glad I made it to Prestige 10 Level 70 because fuck yes.
What the hell is up with the ultra fast servers? Why do 12 year old kids think it's fun? It's not it's frustrating as hell. Fucking kids ruin everything.
No shit. I just got invited to a match and everyone was running super fast and jumping a mile high. I don't understand why people think that is fun.
Ha I just got "Bling" back...level 21 first prestige. Never prestige-ing again....plus I don't play a whole lot anyways. But if anyone's ever up for a game, XBox live tag: GTown 007
The Stimulus Package is great!!! Not only do the new maps not load, you can't play online at all anymore!!! Yay.
I'm so happy they brought back Crash. What a great map, and I'm really feelin' the other new ones. I'm assuming no one's posting because they're all off playing...
Just a little story to share which I guess could fall under the Rave section, but fuck it, it's COD related. Played my CFO and his brother, 63 and 70 respectively in a few Domination matches last night. I couldn't get in the party, join session and jumped in. I spanked both of them. And with semtex and the fact they play off each other, a lot of double kill ensued. Pretty fucking excellent. Even better because things are looking positive I'm leaving for another job soon, he does know how I'm really going to stick it to him...(see what I did there?) We got one good comment on the maps in full working form. Anyone else get them and have feedback? Have people seriously moved on? Haven't seen Maltob on in ages.
I haven't been on in a good while actually but my brother has been using my account a lot. Chances are if anyone has played with me recently it's actually been him. I'll probably end up getting the maps when they are released for PS3 which should be in three weeks. Don't think that old people aren't good at video games. My grandfather on my dads side - one of the coolest guys ever - was an absolute machine at CS and Delta Force before he kicked the bucket. Now a days not so much... EDIT: I've been made aware that you were probably talking about their ranks and not their age. I stand by my comment, I haven't played in a while as you can tell and a fuck you guys just for good measure.
I will not be getting the stimulating package yet. You can only play these maps in two new game modes which are random objective type games, I believe. Apparently it will be like this for a month or so. Also the messages from people to join a party and get to 10 prestige and get all the emblems and titles are fucking annoying. Do people actually pay money to do that shit? How is that not highly against the xbox live terms of service? What would be the point of playing the game after that? There is nothing satisfying about it. Kids are retarded.
This isn't true. As soon as you get the stim package you automatically get matched up with people who also bought it, so all the new maps are fair game for all the game modes. Also, when you buy the new maps you can no longer play with people who haven't bought them.
Let me clarify this. When you click "Find Match" it brings up a list of game modes ( Domination, TDM, CTF, etc.) After you download the new maps two new game modes appear: Stimulus and Stimulus Hardcore. Stimulus Hardcore rotates between Deathmatch, Headquarters, and Search and Destroy on the five new maps. Stimulus rotates between Deathmatch, Domination, and CTF I believe (only played briefly.) So one game you might play Headquarters on Crash and the next you play Search and Destroy on Bailout. It sucks if you really don't like a certain game mode but I've gotten used to it and kind of like the forced variety.
Or, like me, the entertainment value from playing is no longer enough to outweigh the annoyance of 12 year olds on their mics, glitches, hacked box matches where everyone is super fast, screwed up matchmaking, and teammates that would rather camp next to the objective to rack up kills instead of actually play the game the way it's supposed to be played. I've tried to get back on and play 3 or 4 times over the last 2 months, so a good 2 weeks in between each, and each time I get on. play maybe one or two maps, and quit because it's not any fun. I'm not going to spend $15 on the map pack either, for reasons I've given earlier in the thread. I'm just in a lull right now, until a new game catches my interest.
But if you do have the map packs you can use find match on any of the other game types and it will match you up with other people who have the new pack. Then the new stuff is just mixed in the play list with all the original maps.
