Except for the asskicking I took Sat in a very unfair match (thanks to shitty Spawn points and assholes on the other team).

Spawn points have gotten awful for me lately. Sat's game my team kept spawning at the same point over and over again. And on top of that the asshole other team decided to camp out at this site. Score ended at 7500 - 1200 just brutal!

At one time the other team had 2 harriers a pave-low, a chopper gunner and a damn AC130 in the air due to their camping on our spawn point.

It was awful I don't know what made me more made .. the spawn point or the fact that the other team camped on it.

I hear ya. I was on a similar match, but was on the giving end of an ass whooping with my team. It was on Afghan, and we had them trapped at B. I had an EAD with two auto turrets and planted them on each end. It was pretty brutal for them. Also, my attack chopper was in the air, a teammate had a harrier and ac-130 up. I would've left if I were on the other team.

Actually, this game started off really badly for our team. There was a guy that just murdered us at the beginning of the game. It was domination match. He went 22-0 before dying, and I swear we were gonna get nuked. Thankfully, someone got him. He was def. going for the nuke as he had a Harrier and Pavelow up, but never called a Predator. I started off going 0-6 as well as a buddy of mine. Then, things turned and we started destroying them and got them trapped at B.

Yeah, if I'm not having fun I just leave the game if it's not too far along. The wonderful team setup system kept putting me at the top of a team of people with negative K/D ratios and 900 points or less in a match, because I was better than they were. But on the other team were 3-4 people with 2:1 K/D and 2000+ points each. Buh-bye

I'm finding that I don't like large camping maps. I like to get into some action and not sit there to wait in case someone comes by. Overgrown is probably the worst for me - so many camping spots, several guys in one house, huge distances to travel when you die. Wasteland isn't too bad, as long as most people aren't sniping.

I need to try this game with some team members that I can coordinate with. I imagine it will be much more fun to have a cohesive unit to attack & defend with, rather than essentially going solo.

Wasteland is a great map to play on with an actual team. Typically, we take control of the C and A area and wait for the other team to stream into the tunnels from B. Then, it's noob tube/launcher time. Everytime I play with a random team though, it can be brutal as they know not what they're doing by entering the tunnels.

This I actually have no issue with as it is a Domination game and this is the point of the game. Would I have been happy with the game, no, but it was appropriate tactics and play which I am cool with. I was playing TDM so there was no need to sit and wait for us - particularly at our spawn point. And why the system didn't start spawning in a different spot I don't know.

I have been on the other side as well and frankly I don't understand (particularly in Domination) why in the world people keep coming back after the same point when they are getting trounced there .. move on to the other 2 spots and take them with little to no resistance.

And I also had another weird one this w/e (one I am sure all of you have had before but it was a first for me) ... my whole team was sniping except me!! We got hosed there as well but not as bad but damn nothing is worse than no support from your teammates as they are too far away to do anything.

Other than those 2 horrible games I still enjoy playing and I have seen no glitches or issues whatsoever.

Yeah, in your situation I'd cut and run. Find another room without a team full of snipers (that's a HUGE disadvantage in any game...you need 1 or 2 max).

 

[digiram]

I have noticed one problem...not sure if this is related to my connection or not, but there seems to be a delay in our party when we merge into another game lobby. Anyone else notice this?

 

[Kabob]

I've not noticed, but I don't play in parties very often (unfortunately).

 

[Beev]

I haven't played much recently (and I keep forgetting to add the PS3 players from here to my friends list...), but when I do I've been playing Domination. Riot shield is so fun and useful in that gametype. I find myself at the top of the list almost every game just from bonus points.

 

[chedrz]

I've noticed this, too. I ALWAYS show up in a lobby .5-1 second after my team lately. I think it's something to do with the improved netcode they released with the last patch, but I'm not sure. Either someone shows up late, or everybody's mic disappears, or something else weird happens.

I've noticed lots of campers the last couple days. The new maps seem to be particularly bad for campers, but it hasn't just been on those. Nothing ruins the game for me more than guys sitting in dark corners of rooms on top of boxes with claymores on doorway entries, heartbeat sensors on rifles, and shotguns. I use ninja anyway, so the heartbeats aren't so annoying for me particularly, but when you're sitting in a small room with a shotgun hiding with cold-blooded and ninja, it's really obnoxious.

Feel free to join the parties that I'm in. Also, add my other gt: lituphu. I usually use that one when I'm running solo.

 

[Kabob]

I've got 98 people in my friends list or I'd add it as well :-/

I'll join you when I can, don't ever want to intrude though!

 

[basslover1]

The spawning has been pretty crummy lately.

I've been noticing it more and more, I'll kill someone that I cross paths with they'll spawn about 5 seconds away from me (of course in the direction I'm heading) and kill me back.

Or, just like what happened to you GCS, my entire team will be in one specific area and we're just getting flat out raped, and it will continually spawn me in the same spot.

 

[CharlestonUSC85]

So i tried a new setup last night

AK47 w/ grenade launcher or RDS
RPG

Marathon Pro
Lightweight Pro
Ninja Pro

Frag
Flash Bangs

And i've come to realize it is awesome for me. I can 100% guarantee that the AK47 won't hit anything too far away. But for running and gunning it is great.

I don't do the typical run around w/ reckless abandon though. I just like to be able to cover ground quickly and then take cover to scan the landscape. It was pretty fun. If only the SCAR had a bigger payload i would be using that.

 

[Kabob]

I didn't realize how much damage the AK-47 does. It's the second highest damage behind the FAL (50-30)...I'm still not much of a fan but that's a 2 hit kill up close w/o stopping power.

 

[digiram]

Got the greatest EAD that I've ever seen while playing yesterday. CUAV, Harrier, Chopper Gunner, AC-130. Ended the tdm match by going 36-1.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I think I'm gonna take some time off from MW2. I've got Gears of War 2, COD-WAW, COD4 (which I've beaten on PC, but not 360), FEAR2 and Dead Space all gathering dust. Plus I'm keeping up with Forza 3.

Too many games, not enough time!

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, I've got 3 new games en-route to me that I need to play but MW2 will still be my "go to" game.

En-route I have:

Bioshock 2 (I haven't played the first in years so I need to go through it too!)
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (always wanted to play, never had a chance)
Brutal Legend

And I've got $20 Amazon credit I need to use by tomorrow...it's going to come down to payment towards Red Dead: Redemption, Lost Planet 2, or 1600 MS points.

 

[chedrz]

Had some pretty solid games the other night. 34-3 on Sub Base, 24-1 on Overgrown (never do that well there), 26-2 on Skidrow. I put lots of AC-130s in the air.

Of course, in a game where I led the team at 16-5, three guys collectively went 13-42. Yeesh.

Something I'd like to see change: you should get points/credit for killstreaks/air support when you open the laptop, not when you actually get to the screen for the air support. I've called in 3 AC-130s as the match ended on this prestige and received no credit for them. That gets pretty annoying. If I get the killstreak and hit the button, I should get credit for calling it in. Just my $.02.

 

[Kabob]

Heck, in that case go a step further and get the points as soon as you earn the killstreak.

 

[Cuda1447]

Shoot, why not just give the points when you've got your crosshairs on the guys head before the last kill needed....

I kid I kid... !

Hehe, there comes a point of "too much!" :awe:

 

[foghorn67]

I have been using the ever living crap out of the TAR-21. I kind of jinx with it for medium and long range shots. Up close, it's like an SMG, just spray and keep the target on the center of the screen while bouncing around, and it's a win/win.
I love the ACR, but it doesn't do well with crappy hosts. Too many times I have to near empty a magazine on well placed shot, just to get killed. The TAR-21 is like the anti-lag. It adds that extra one or two extra rounds outside the hitbox that seem to help fight crap hosts.

And that's another thing that's been pissing me off. I'll check the bios of everyone inbetween matches. Found a good set with everyone in the same region. And what gets selected for a hosts? The friggin foreigner. It picks the furthest hosts possible. Almost all the time. What the hell?

the ak-47 has the same damage as the tar and scar-h, and only has slightly higher fire rate then the scar-h and less then the tar.

also if you add any kind of attachment to the ak-47 it adds idle sway (except acog) which no other assault rifle has.....so you have to use it without any attachments which makes it a slightly higher fire rate and much less accurate scar-h.

Basically they destroyed the ak-47 in mw2, it gets out classed by the scar-h and tar and there's no reason to use it over either of those two unless you really enjoy the iron sights.

Its a shame cause i love the ak-47

Negative, in MW2 the AK-47 does 50-30. The SCAR and Tar do 40-30.

nope, the in game stats are incorrect, here are the real stats:

according to that site its 40-30
