first night playing in about 2 weeks. Took a few games to find my groove, but I went 37-3 on Karachi, thanks to getting 2 emergency airdrops. I ended the match with 57900 XP points. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. And fuck the new maps. I'm not paying $15 bucks for some rehashed garbage.
I thought the same thing, so me and my friend split the price of the maps. The Gamertag that initially purchases the maps can download and play the maps on any other Xbox. Also, any Gamertags can play the maps on the 1st Xbox that the maps were downloaded to. So my friend recovered his Gamertag on my Xbox and downloaded the maps. Now I can play the maps on my Xbox with my own Gamertag. He then recovered his Gamertag on his own Xbox, and it lets him play the maps there too.
I actually played this game for the first time on an Xbox for a few solid hours today. First I gotta ask, who else still fucking uses the lame ass inverted controls like this was GoldenEye 15 years ago? This was more a problem I found with my friend than the Xbox because I just changed them back to the normals settings. The biggest difference I found was that it has a totally different spawning pattern than PS3. You respawn 90 percent of the time within twenty feet of where you died. It sets you up a lot more for revenge killings and you don't end up on the opposite side of the map as much. Aside from the trigger buttons being switched around I really didn't have to much trouble getting used to it.
Personally, I do for the vertical axis. Not playing it inverted fucks with my muscle memory and hand/eye co-ordination. Anyone who has ever shot any form of rifle can tell you that the rear hand dropping raises the muzzle (and accordingly, the reverse is true). I know that doesn't corelate to left and right, but I often make little sense. It's also different from standing position and a whole bunch of other things. Alright, I just can't fucking do it. I always end up shooting myself in the foot and wearing lead in my face if I don't invert.
Just to prewarn everyone, I got my bluetooth headset today. If you don't like hearing a morbid amount of cursing I suggest just muting me now.
I gave my headset to my girlfriend's 12 year old son, on the basis that the PSN would be subjected to less swearing, ranting and tantrums that way.
I invert the Y-axis too, I think it goes back to playing the X-Wing and TIE Fighter flight simulators for hours on end as a child, as I've never been able to play FPS's without inversion.
Good God, I just got back on the COD horse a few days ago and I am doing absolutely terrible. I haven't played since I was home during winter break, but back then I was usually first or second out of everyone with a solid k/d ratio. Now I'm generally first or second to last with a horrid k/d ratio every game. I don't feel like I've lost too much of my skill. It seems like people have just gotten better/more used to the maps. It also doesn't help that my rank (47 no prestige) is generally the lowest out of everyone. Have you guys seen a huge spike in level of play in the five months that this game has been out? Has anyone been away from the game for a while and experienced this?
Are the PS3-ers getting the stimulus package anytime soon? Edit: Answered my own questions with a little investigative reporting <a class="postlink" href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178738" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178738</a>
I dont know if it's possible but I think there is another care package glitch. Half a dozen or so games today turned into a constant air dropfest.
I have done pretty much exactly the same - although I wasn't topping the charts before. I don't feel the standard has improved noticeably, just that I'm a bit rusty. Upping the joystick sensitivity has helped a bit, it does take some getting used to though.
Note to self: Don't join session with Maltob or TeflonDon on the other team. For every time you kill them, they will hunt you down...
My rage is usually focused on those running dagger motherfuckers. Killing them three/four times in a row is very satisfying. Ive switched up guns and have sucked major ass in the past few days. Plus these newbt00b fest are getting out of hand.
For the last week when it's been me playing with Teflon I've been doing shit since i've been experimenting with new guns. I just went back to my old guns today and me and him raped face.
My current gripe of the week is camping motherfuckers. Since I'm getting my penetration shots for the extended magazines, I will hunt them down and blindfire them into oblivion with FMJ. I'm sure they're cursing me repeatedly.
I decided to try out the M16 with 3 round burst. For a day and a half I was murdering people. Doing as good as ever. Then, it might have been add ons, all of a sudden my shit fell way off and Ive been lucky just to break even. Ive also switched from the UMP45 to the Uzi just to try it out. A few good games and the rest have been shitty. We caught two fucking bad breaks with retard teammates. The hillbilly boy that talked shit being on his 10th prestige and barely getting 5 kills, only to drop out the next game when we dominated Sub Base against him. The sunburnthippe dude would shut his goddamn yapper the whole fucking time. I love mute buttons.... More people need to start playing together here. Team shit is always much better than lone dogging it.
I'm always happy to join in whenever anyone's online, but I never invite people to my sessions. My rationale for that is simple. Because I'm in Australia, anything I manage to join is going to be best for my ping (if available). If I join you to mine, your connection is going to suck. If I join yours, my ping is going to suck. Just saying.
I noticed my KDR got stuck at 1.41 after weeks of constant rising, must've been the fact that I switched from assault rifles to sniper rifles. (Though not the WA2000 or the M21, those things shoot like BB guns.) Made it my personal mission to get fall camo on both those babies and I've never had so much fun. Highly recommend it. God, I can't wait for the new maps.
