Just about to play it for the first time. Something tells me I'm not going to go to sleep much before work tomorrow. Don't know if I'm going to get onto multiplayer but I'm thatsperverse on xbl if you want some easy kills.
Another Sandy Ravage video. 27-1 playing Kill Confirmed on Interchange. He actually gets a few guys with that Wall-E robot thing too.
Add Thorgouge on Xbox Live, finally got home to play some. Spent like two hours going all over the stores and I know how like 40 hours of double xp time cause I'm awesome. Game is fun so far, despite me trying to play all tactically since I'm used to Battlefield 3 and low crawling everywhere like an idiot.
Got mine from UPS this afternoon, but I gotta finish up Uncharted 3 first like I mentioned before. However, since I'm getting back into I'll repost my gamer tag: Fernanthones (no I) on xbox live. I think a lot of you are already on my friends list (and I have a couple invites that may be from here too, but I dunno), but feel free to add me.
This game is so sexy. SCAR-L with a silencer and kick proficiency almost feels like cheating. Although now the guns all sound so powerful and awesome now it seems like a shame putting a silencer on. The wealth of options is also kind of mind blowing - strike packages, death streaks, weapon proficiencies... So much to pick from. I've been hesitant to switch from the assault package and only used support for a little bit, but the specialist one seems really interesting - every 2 kills you get another perk, and the wiki says that after 8 kills it gives you all of them. While not exactly a nuke, that seems pretty awesome.
I don't know why you even would use another gun not the UMP45. It's perfect. Like the rest of the game. Kill Confirmed ruined regular TDM for me. It's amazing.
Apparently that, the type 95 and the p90 or another gun that starts with a p are the top 3 weapons. I'm personally liking the scar and the g36.
This fucking game won't load the goddamned update. It keeps saying it's gonna take like an hour to download, and then erroring out.
Re: Re: CoD Addicts Thread Its all I have used so far, I have watched a couple of guys running around with gold guns already, what level is that for a particular weapon? I am leveling the UMP pretty quick but damn.
Just put in about 3:30 hours worth of multiplayer and I am digging it. First and foremost NO NOOB TUBES. Thank fucking christ. I love the insane asylum that is ground war and I just couldn't play it anymore in MW2 because of the noob tubes. No longer a concern now. Since I like to play in a mindless way without any regard to strategy, I have been using the support package a lot. I'm sure we'll see a lot of "support package is for pussies" soon because kill streaks that don't reset, yet still include a controllable sentry, a stealth bomber, and an assisted airdrop is pretty lethal. It isn't that hard to get 18 kills total, especially in ground war, so I've been abusing the hell out of that set up and getting kill "streaks" galore. It does play almost exactly like MW2 (feels a bit more sped up though) but they seem to have fixed all the issues. I wish I had more time to put into it but I'll be lucky if I'm able to play more than once a week. Can't wait for winter break. PS3: sohaib00
Man, I haven't played MW2 is over a year so it is going to take some getting used to playing an IW game again. Played TDM for a couple of hours and I think I will be okay with the game once my lag issues get fixed (I only had one game with four bars all night, and actually getting in to a game with a party takes forever). Hopefully once people settle down a bit after a week or two it will be better. The party joining thing on the PS3 is kind of pissing me off, since MW3 gives you the OPTION to join another person's party, but it won't actually let you JOIN because the game comes back with a "this is a private lobby, you must be invited" type message. Which would be fine if you could change your lobby preference to Open, but you can't. Yet. Hopefully. Besides that, I am digging most of the maps and most of the guns that I have tried out so far. It definitely feels way more balanced than MW2. Once I get a bit more acclimated I will try and party up with a couple of you guys and we can try our hand at pub stomping.
Played through the campaign and played about 4 games of TDM tonight. I like it, a lot. The best I did was even as far as k/d goes, but in only 4 games I didn't expect much. I was glad to unlock the scar, that M4 is a piece of shit and the irons on the M16 suck ass. I'm one level off form the silencer on the SCAR, so I'm pumped about that. I feel as if a lot of deaths came from being seen on the radar due to noise. EDIT: I'm Schmidster34 on PSN
Love absolutely everything about this game except the shotguns. God damn do them suck for a primary weapon. I was using the highest damage shotgun and probably 1/5 were one hit kills, and MAYBE 3/5 killed in two hits or less. Only one I am having any luck with is the AA12 but even that one takes 3-4 shots. Since I don't have scavenger yet, I am lucky to get 3 kills before I am out of ammo. Favorite setup so far besides the SCAR: Dragunov/ACOG/Kick Quickdraw Steady Aim And I can't tell you how happy I am the brought back the Riot Shield. Riot with Support Strike Package and Hardline Pro makes it so easy to get kill streaks.
For everyone complaining about shotgun primaries sucking; There's a proficiency that adds range. That is all.
Kill Confirmed is probably the only gametype I'm having fun in at the moment. The rest still feel a little too old after playing them for 80 years but that's probably just me. Anybody else slightly disappointed that the maps all appear to be as small and close quarters as Black Ops maps and nowhere near the decently sized maps of MW2? It might just be the Battlefield fan in me, but I would love me some bigger maps.
I definitely feel the close quarters sentiment. I feel on average the maps are larger but there is a bigger emphasis on close quarters. There isn't one that I can think of that are wide open like Afghan or Derail. I am really digging about 3 of the maps the rest so far are uninspiring.
Now that I've slept on it. I have to say I agree with most of the conversation. The game feels more balanced. The gameplay is just as smooth if not smoother than MW2. Lag became an issue around 10pm when I know more than half my kills were lag related. Allowed me to get some of the campaign in. I love most of the maps, not sure if I'm freaking out about size yet, a lot of them have a third level now that barely any of the MW2 maps did. A lot of the maps feel familiar due to textures and what not. They feel like a "Best of COD" with the exception the blown up NYC map I've played so far. Then again there are 16 maps and I don't think I've played them all in the 3 hours I got in. KC as a game mode makes the maps feel much smaller. I love this mode because it allows me a SM class which I gave up on in MW2. The proficiencies make this game. Its like crack cocaine to hear that level up sound again and seeing the unlocked page brings tears to my eyes. The I.S.M is the most underrated KS and the Support Package is pretty fun and not overpowered. You can get a KS by taking out a SAM or Helicopter. Makes the game balanced since everyone isn't calling in helicopters every 5 seconds, plus more often than not there is a UAV up so it forces more players do use silencers and the hide from UAV perk. I like the diversification.
