I was thinking about it, but a 100ft Cat 6 cable costs like $10. I will probably just switch over to wireless when I end up getting a Slim model.

I dont think we are allowed to post links here to sales site but slickdeals.net had a gaming bridge for ps3/360 from amazon for 25. Hell this could be good for anyone in this forum who wants to have a wireless n bridge. I was thinking of picking up one for myself. The deal is on the front page under monday.

Oh, I did. I also took a pic of his messages to send to MS but Photobucket deleted 'em...

I wish there was a way to know whether these people got banned or not. I regularly get messages with racist comments (starts with an "N" usually). I think it's because of my gamertag that people think I'm black and want to insult me. I report all these people but I wonder if any of them ever actually get banned.

I get a lot of racial slurs said to me, not much messages outside of Street Fighter though. I've been told, and thought to be by friends, as black online a lot. Doesn't really bother me because I can talk trash with the best of them, so I usually end up putting them in their place, destroying them in the process.

I think trash talking is a valid mind game strategy though. Most people play worse when upset or mad. In the SF community, if you can't give and take, you don't have a very good time.

Yeah none of it really bothers me either. It usually happens when the other team just got destroyed and that's all they have left is to talk trash. I'm usually in party chat anyways so they probably send messages since tha'ts the only way they have to communicate with me.

Buc, if you've ever played with Dre (a black guy) when someone made a racial slur aimed at him you would roll. I've never heard someone go off on a 12 year old like that before!

I've played with him, but not when someone's said a racial slur to him. Not that I want someone to say something like that to him, but it would be pretty funny to hear He's had me laughing pretty good several times.

Im with you, I wish I could check up on a couple of nasty people who sent me messages. 1 guy sent me 3 voice messages, and 2 text messages after I dropped connection on a Left 4 Dead game. He called me every name under the sun saying I rage quit. He followed me for a couple days after that from game to game until he came into the wrong game where I had a good set of friends playing with me. ... yup, he rage quit. I have yet to see him since.
I reported his messages almost everyday to MS for about 2 weeks, just because it was an unwarrented attack. I hope they banned him, because I have a filthy mouth, but that dude was just nutz.

I'm officially addicted to gambling - sticks and stones is pretty much the only Blops i have played over the last week or so. What a game! Soo many tomohawk kills from downtown!

My best record so far is 9 tomohawks and 8 sticks in 1 round, but it is getting a lot harder now i am playing for big money. I'm considering splashing 50k and unlocking the prestige leaderboards - is it worth it? I doubt I will be prestiging again..

Final notes

1) Will Treyarch fix the PS3 game already!! My PS3 has never had to be hard rebooted so often.

2) Does anyone know how i can fix a corrupt Hanoi map file? I am not fond of the map, but I did pay for it!

TEK ED: PS3 will never be fixed so don't hold your breath.

Last night I played with HArdcore CTF and was getting owned with the Stoner. I switched to the MPL for the first time and had rapid fire attachement (Lightweight SOH PRO and Marathon) and completely destroyed the other teams. I was the top scorer in most of the matches. Usually I am somewhere in the middle. Hope this helps out with anybody who plays hardcore.

I think people attribute success too much to the gun they're using. It has way more to do with the level of competition getting easier than switching out to a different gun.

I thought the same thing initially but I played mutliple games with different players. I have ps3 so I normally get kicked or lose connection somehow every two games easy. So I am constantly moving from lobby to lobby.

It might have something to do with the perks I was using. Who knows it just worked out for me.

There is a huge difference between the stoner and MPL when it comes to hardcore. His performance was very much adjusted by the weapon choice.

Some Interesting info in this thread:

http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=387677&sid=4ha9kbfhbr1kvvluts0cadpqe4

We are considering giving full kill credit to the guy who drops someone in Second Chance and Assist credit for someone who finishes them off. We are also considering allowing you to only be revived one time. We are even considering increasing the revive time.
- Forum users like to complain about the "invulnerability period" when someone is dropping. I found where this happens. It's in code and not script which is why I didn't see it originally. We need to think about this one clearly. I went through the revision history. Any attempts to remove the "0.5" seconds of invulnerability mean the guy with Second Chance will likely never be given his Second Chance. Removal of this entirely will all but remove the perk from the game (which I know many of you would prefer in the first place, but it's something we are not yet ready to do). This "0.5" seconds is consistent with the previous games and is not any longer or shorter.

I really hope they give an assist to someone who steals a kill when someone is in last stand. I really hate that Though I'll admit I do steal the kills from others as payback..

I hate getting thrown into a game on a team getting destroyed. In fact, I hate joining mid match altogether. I just means I am almost certainly getting a loss. The only ones I don't mind are when the game is right about to start / just started.

They need to get rid of second chance...

I hate this perk. I even hate it when my teammates use second hand pro. Tired of risking my life to pick people up, and dying to losers that catch me because I ran out of ammo on the clip I downed them with.

It is good for one thing though... getting to soh pro.

One thing is, I wish they would make it so that your killstreak resets if you are downed though. That should eliminate some of the abuse.

To be honest, I use last stand a lot and as much as it may piss others off, I love getting a killstreak from being downed and I love keeping my killstreak going upon being revived. If you play 2 player split screen with both players having last stand it is brilliant.

I will admit it can be annoying to play against, but if you can't beat em...

Has anyone played in a party where all players have last stand pro.. I reckon that would be great fun

I like second chance pro. I don't get many kills when in second chance, but usually I get revived by a team mate.

Second chance is for pussies. I will actually walk up to teammates who are in last stand, crouch, and not revive them. Because I hate them all.
