Highrise is one of my favorites, definitely in the top 3 of the original MW2 maps for sure.

I use to like highrise but too many people have figured out how to spawn trap on it and i hate it .

i don't want to spawn trap anyone and i definitely don't want to be spawn trapped, so i skip that map as often as i can.

Agreed... love that map.

About the spawn trapping...I got a nuke on this map while my crappy (random pub) team was being spawn trapped. I camped the bottom hallway in my spawn trap location for 3 kills, then rushed to the other side and got 4 kills along the way. When I got to the other side, I hid and launched my harrier. The spawn trappers were stuck in the middle of the map and my harrier murdered them. Since I got to the other side, my team started spawning there and they captured that flag. It was all a matter of time now for my inevitable nuke..

My two favorite maps are Terminal and High Rise.

I like all of the CQB maps + Carnival.

What is spawn trapping? Basically spawn camping?

Generally, your teammates will respawn with the person farthest from the action. If you prevent anyone from escaping a corner, you can force the enemy to keep spawning in that general area.

Yep I enjoy Highrise, Terminal and Scrapyard the most.

Other day a buddy of mine was trying to use the m4 and was dying left and right. So he started bitching about how crappy it was.....ha???

So, I equiped the m4 and was pwning. Damn, one of my fav. guns. Love how easy it is to use. Just point and fire. Has a little recoil, but this gun gets me the most headshots.

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, if you struggle to use the M4 you're gonna struggle with anything. About the most balanced weapon in the game.

 

[velillen]

So finally prestiged as something to do. holy crap its annoying starting all over again! Did the prestige thing then went right into a game (merc team deathmatch) and went like 14-5 the first game and about the same the second game. not to bad for using the FAMAS which id never used before. Unlocked the m4 and started sucking lol. First game with it was like 12-12 next was more like 5-15. I miss my ACOG the most. I always end up with the ACOG on the guns i use.

But brings a bit of excitement back into the game! No more just playing to kill but feel like i have something to shoot for now. Maybe itll be motivation to finally buy the two new map packs......

Not really. I enjoy the M4/ACR's laser like accuracy if the connection is good. They are my go to AR's.
If lag is bad, I switch to the TAR. The TAR is my anti-lag gun. I can't explain why, but it just is. I think the TAR from medium to long distances throws a random bullet or two outside of what is aimed for. And it works great for this.

Had some fun games with blowfish and a few other friends yesterday afternoon, although I was "off" all day. Never seemed to have any good matches and I think we lost the majority of the games we played...

A thought blowfish, I noticed you use a Bling M4 w/red dot an M203 but I don't think you use the M203 very often. Have you considered swapping Bling for maybe Sleight of Hand or Scavenger instead? Maybe I just missed you firing the M203, it is hard to pay attention to who's killing who with what in the midst of a match.

I love prestiging, starting back at lvl 1 and fighting for your equipment is alot of fun for me, honestly it's the reason I keep playing the game. Only 3 1/2 more prestiges to go though

The key to prestiging is setting yourself up for alot of XP early on. You can't start doing this until prestige #2 though. You unlock "Prestige Challenges" after your first prestige and they carry over. At 500/1000/2500 kills you get an extra 10,000 XP. So you sit at 499/999/2499 kills with said weapon and then prestige. Then when you unlock challenges (lvl 6) you get a 10-40K XP boost (depending on how many weapons you do it with) which rockets you anywhere from lvl 8 to lvl 13 or so.

Lag is one thing, being unable to hit anything in a lag free game is another though.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Well, a miracle happened. I got a 24-7 on Highrise over the weekend. The auto-shotgun was my miracle worker that allows me to call in my Pave Low.

I proceeded in other games to get my normal 1:1 kill ratio... the magic was gone.

 

[SandEagle]

got the new map packs and noticed quite a few users who are moving faster than normal, almost like teleporting. is this a new glitch or what? stupid cheaters

 

[Kabob]

On the 360 or PS3 version? I've not noticed it at all.

 

[Beev]

I'm on PS3 and haven't noticed it. Though the servers as a whole have been shit since the map pack came out for us. Bad, constant lag.

 

[Kabob]

Hrm, the 360 servers have been pretty solid, not sure what the dealio is.

It's PSN, THAT'S what the dealio is :awe:

 

[Beev]

PSN has been fine for me historically . It didn't have any issues back with the stimulus map pack =/

Its not taking me anytime to level. Go to level 12 i think tonight in just a few games thanks to some nice boosts (30 crouched kills, ect). im just missing my ACOG. Even RDS doesnt do it for me. O well though only 75 more kills to go till i get it for the m4 (i think at least)

PSN has been just fine for me too. Only people moving faster than normal are those with lightweight or the grip thingy.

The real frustrating thing fo rme is still the noob tube and spawning. nothing like killing aguy and dieing ot him 2 seconds later cause he spawns pretty much directly behind you And noob tubes, well been quite a few games where watching the kill cams all the people do is run around with the tube out to fire. Guess i use it more like i would a grenade. Shoot to kill first, if i get in a fire fight then bring it out.

on PS3. maybe it was just lag, who knows. i see it on the new maps all the time, so i thought it was some kind of cheat

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I hate the ACOG but love the red dot. I had to complete my M4 ACOG challenge yesterday, thankfully most of it was done on Skidrow which has lots of long range fighting. The Red Dot/Holographic sights are 95% as effective at long range and 150% more effective at close range for me (compared to the ACOG) as you turn much faster.

I agree. Can't stand ACOG. Especially for sniper rifles. I only use it to unlock challenges for the weapons I use.

It seems to add more recoil to weapons, and on sniper rifles it makes your weapon unsteady and you can't hold your breath to make it stay steady. Useless attachment on sniper rifles.

 

[Kabob]

I put it on assault rifles and SMGs for the challenge but as soon as it's finished I swap it out.

ACOG is great on sniper rifles when you play 3rd person. Also great in Hardcore with say, the M21. I really miss the M40A1 w/ ACOG from CoD4 though.
