Man, I was hoping for a Whitehouse based map similar to the campaign and/or a burger town sniper map.

Here's hoping for another double XP weekend like last time

 

[Kabob]

There's two double XP weekends, May 24th (before release) and another right after.

I wonder if PS3'ers have to wait a month again.

 

[foghorn67]

I can't picture Strike right now. I can recall everything else, but can't muster the ability.

I hope not. That shit caused me to forget entirely about the map pack until last week. Pretty stupid.

Carnival

Fuel

Strike

Trailer Park

Vacant

Yeah, it was one of my better/favorite maps as well. I'm not sure it will play well on MW2 though. Think of all the grenades + Danger Close areas.

I'd have liked Crossfire over either of them but I'm GREATLY relieved that they went with Strike over Shipment (I heard Vacant + Shipment months ago). Strike is a good map.

In my book, Crossfire ties Crash for the flat out best map EVER.

I didn't play much of COD 4 mp at all in the past, but I borrowed a copy and went online with it last weekend and played a bit of strike and vacant. I think they're really good maps. I did really well on COD 4, surprisingly, as well. I never got enough kills to get to an air strike in the past, but got to an attack heli multiple times.

You beat me to it Kabob, that carnival map is looking pretty bad ass

Heh, I had a humorous kill last night where I backsmashed a guy with my riot shield, he martyr dropped a grenade, then I picked it up and threw it at one of his teammates for another kill. I couldn't believe that wasn't a challenge but stuff like "Get a game winning kill with an airdrop crate" is =/. I felt cheated out of some sort of "did you see that?!?" recognition...

Haha...pretty awesome!!

I had a pretty funny incident last night on Skidrow. I was one man army noob tubing (just to piss people off) from the crack at the B house and an enemy shows up and takes my spot while I'm changing kits. I had no clue it was an enemy till I took a close look and saw a red name tag...I stabbed him and that kill got me to my predator missle... hahaha

Another incident, but this time I was the victim. I'm sitting at C in Afghan and killed a couple people. 4 storm in and I mow them all down....except one had last stand on. I was tryin to, but couldn't quite finish him off. he throws a nade, and I'm dead...damn it. Just got to a predator too.

I got victimized yesterday, too. I was capping B on Afghan, nearly had it. Some guy on the other team walked out of the cave and threw a throwing knife over the plane and small bunker and got me. I didn't even know what to say to that one.

OMG...that's friggin awesome!! That's a WTF moment right there.

ROFL - those are some awesome stories

 

[Dangerer]

I decided to test out kabob's stealth UMP45 build. Definitely my new favorite build

 

[Kabob]

Not my build, I got killed by it a bunch of times and gave it a whirl

 

[CharlestonUSC85]

Will using a silencer and stopping power on the ump45 just cancel eachother out? I'm trying to use the following setup

ump45

scavenger
stopping power
steady aim

I know some people say stopping power is not required for this weapon but i like the effects for close quarters gameplay. I'm trying to increase my hipfire kills without having to aim down scope. I've seen videos of people having success doing this with the setup i have but without the silencer attached. They usually use FMJ. I'm guessing using the silencer is at least going to reduce the range of the hip fire spray.

Adding a suppressor will only decrease the range where your gun does max damage. A silenced UMP45 will always do 40 damage (or 52 with SP) if you're within max shotgun range. When silenced and any further than max shotgun range, you'll do 35 damage (46.55 with SP).. 3 hit kill either way. How about trying rapid fire with your build, you double the 2 hit kill range plus you spit out a ton of bullets.

edit: just gave the build a whirl. Topped the charts on Invasion (not exactly a CQC map) using only hip fire. Pretty fun build though I did find myself dieing a lot more.

Oh man, I'm FREAKING EXCITED about these new maps. I still consistently play MW2 and am probably one of the few who likes it better than CoD 4. (Not sure why though)

I like it better too, i played cod4 a little but on the pc a few years ago but i always prefered battlefield 2....

i recently picked up cod4 for xbox 360 and played a little but i found myself moving back to mw2

 

[CharlestonUSC85]

i'm not keen on rapid fire b/c i hear the recoil is too much. i will try it out though since you're offering it as advice. why is the best weapon to use for hip fire spray then. if i don't want to ADS at all what is the best weapon with range and accuracy?
