I may be in the minority here, but I really liked playing with a Tar w/X-mags in MW2. Has anyone tried the "local" connect option that supposedly pairs you up with other people close(r) in proximity to you when playing multiplayer? If so, did you notice a difference in responsiveness/lag at all? It seems like a pretty good idea in theory.
Can I say? I fucking LOVE the wager match stuff. Those are some incredibly fun game modes right there. Gun game is amazing.
So I just got put into a lobby that was too glitched to describe.. again. This time people were flying around, invulnerable to bullets or explosions. One guy was invisible, another was shutting people in by spawning care packages around them. Constant choppers / AC / EMP's in emergency airdrops for their team... Fuck this. That's the second time tonight. I think I'm late to the party or something, did MW2 die in the past couple of days? The waiting times for lobbies are also a huge pain in the ass. I used to get <50ms games. Now it's 70-80ms if I'm lucky. Going to pick up BO tomorrow.
This could be a Black Ops issue, but when my roommate updated his 360 for BO and started playing, the whole system froze up. Now when he starts up the system, he gets to the Xbox menu and it freezes and stops working. This all started after he updated the Black ops game. We're testing it out on my xbox now to see if the results are the same. Anyone else have this problem?
So here's another reason to love B.O. Contracts. They have a time limit. Fucking brilliant. Things like : Kill 25 people with the Enfield in 40 min of game time. Kill 75 people with an SMG in 45 min. Kill 75 people with the (X) Shotgun in 45 Min. You know how hard that shit is? Killing 75 people in 45 minutes of gameplay with a shotgun? You gotta be good. I made 47 my first time around, playing nothing but Nuketown.
I know, I know.. Don't expect my posts to be coherent, I mostly just blurt out my thoughts. Contracts are an awesome addition though. That's gonna keep people hooked and, more importantly, switching up guns.
Ah HAH! The first symptoms of a switchover! Buy it, play it, we'd all love to have you here. Everyone is going to be playing this game until the next one comes out, that's clear. Maybe you stop being like thirteen year old me with Snapple and just recognize that something is good. Get on the bandwagon.
I got my copy from Amazon today but haven't played it yet. The girlfriend try to secretly get it for me for my birthday that passed last weekend, but left the confirmation page up and I saw it. She's in boot camp at the moment, so I'll tell her I had no idea and all that, but still, awesome girlfriend. I'll probably jump on later tonight and mess around with the multiplayer just to check it out. Feel free to add me if you want, just let me know you're from here. Gamertag is LibertyBuddy.
That sounds like an awesome girlfriend, as long as you realize there's a 0.0007% chance she'll stay with you. So, to help matters, you should play with her online. Keep the connection going. That's a luxury we didn't have when I went into boot.
Yet another convert... Pato, Maltob... Join us. We would welcome your dominance in 1ps. We can live without, and prosper, but we'd like you with us...
I broke down and bought it. I was hoping Wal-Mart would be out and my lizard-brain wouldn't win again. I played quite a few games. And it is fun. I'm just not a fan of the way it looks. Everything seems small? There is surely a technical explanation, but Treyarch just doesn't make a good looking game, imo. The FAMAS seems to be the bane of my existence. I think most of my deaths have come from it. Not as many campers, but that is probably just because people don't know where to hide yet. I hope it stays fun and it isn't just the newness that is entertaining me.
Trust me, I know. I was in the service and know all to well how that shit goes, either way, I got a free CoD game. I played a few matches tonight and it definitely has potential. I encountered a lot of camping, and I don't have a good grasp of the maps just yet, but I'm not getting killed by noob tubes every five seconds, so I'm good for now. I've gotta go out of town for a few days, so my neighbor is getting it during that time, but I'll be back on exploring this game while intoxicated later on this weekend.
I changed my XBox gamertag: HORSEGASM Just giving a heads up to all you guys on my friends list so you know who it is. It was a combination of being bored of the old one, and being mildly annoyed at random dudes constantly ripping on the Broncos or addressing me by name when talking shit, as if they know me personally. Not that I have thin skin, but I figure I'm better off displaying less personal info in such a public forum. As for where I got the idea for the new name, I'm a huge fan of The League. When I was brainstorming for a new GT, it came to mind almost immediately. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.
I had this happen after a NBA 2k10 update. To fix it, I think it was just boot up the xbox while holding down the sync button on the controller. I can't remember if you start it from the controller or the button on the 360 itself though so try both. I know it took a few times but what it will do is revert back to the previous spot before the update. You'll see it actually make a change so you'll know when it happens. I then got the update again from the game and it worked fine. Good luck!
I just picked up the FAMAS last night and with the red dot it seems to be a pretty decent gun. Due to a combination of shitty lag on my end and needing to dump practically an entire clip into an enemy in order to get a kill (seems to be a common complaint), Sleigh Of Hand has helped out immensely. What other guns have people found to be pretty useful?
I'm loving the Stoner63. I used to be all over the M16 (in MW2 too) but this is now my go to gun. It's a LMG but it feels more like an assault riffle. It's really powerful and has very little recoil (for an LMG) so it's pretty accurate, but it does have a pretty small clip and you might want to use the Lightweight perk because it will slow your ass WAY down.
Fuck you all, fuck my friend Dave for leaving me a 5 minute voicemail every 3 hours about BO, and fuck Best Buy for sending me a timely 10.00 Reward Zone Gift Certificate. I wasn't going to buy this game. Fuck Fuck Fuck. Fuck.
