Meh, not much faster. You get what, maybe an extra 50,000 experience from the prestige challenges (if that)? A good chunk, sure, but in the grand scheme of things it's not much.

For me it's twice as fast since i now know the maps and have become much more comfortable with each of the weapons. I enjoy having the extra slot for custom class.

So I got this for X-mas and just started with the Campaign last night. Damn cool game.

Loved the snow mission and sneaking around in the storm and then riding the snowmobiles, LOL!!

It was too short of a mission but it was pretty cool making the climbs and jumps and then whippin' out a gun and shooting down the bad guys while driving the snowmobile.

Yes I know I am late to the party but hey I just got it.

FYI I have completed through the mission in Northern VA where we were on the helicopters flying around taking out guys with the mini-gun and then we got taken out. I stopped there last night.

Man, you're getting into all sort of games now blowfish, you gonna play MW2 online at all? If so you'll have to join in on the fun!!

Also, if you've not played CoD 4's campaign it was even better than MW2's. MW2's campaign is very choppy and tough to follow, I beat it twice and I'm still not sure what happened exactly...

Yeah I have played COD (on PC) then moved to COD2, 3, COD MW 1 on 360. I really like these types of games moreso than GOW (which I like as well but not as much). COD3 wasn't all that great but it wasn't crap either.

MW1 was excellent and really was nice comeback from COD3. I did not play COD5 WAW though.

MW2 Online - maybe. I really suck at these kinds of games but really enjoy them as well so going online and having my arse handed to me it 2 seconds every time I drop in is not fun.

Ehh I have always been into other games just not a big online player except for Forza (again mainly because I get my arse kicked really bad). I finished up Batman AA about 5 weeks ago and loved it. I also have Mortal Kombat vs DC which my son and I play a lot -- it's the only game I still can routinely whip his butt at, LOL.

Me and my 2 kids really love MUA and had been playing that for months. We got MUA2 for x-mas and will get started on that soon. I also got Streetfighter IV (again I hope to beat the little guy's butt on this too hehe) and finally nabbed GOW2.

Basically I don't get games when they first come out due to cost to be honest with you. Forza 3 was an exception. COD MW2 my wife got me for about $20 I think after discounts and gift cards she had but I couldn't get it until x-mas, rats! Unlike a lot folks I don't have that much time for gaming so I kinda get in with one game and work it until I am done and then get my next one. The 3 games I got for X-mas will probably hold me over until late summer at least.

I was at the in-laws this weekend, and got my brother in law hooked. He played my copy, until he opened his. He played almost 8 hours straight until he beat it one night, at 6:00 a.m. he was done. He was asking me what happened because to him it didn't make any sense. I told him he needs to get a copy of COD 4 and it will make more sense. Not to give away spoilers, but a few of the scenes in MW2 had me surprised, like it was a movie twist. Over all I am very happy with the single player and the game.. looking forward to see what comes next.

Unfortunately, the bars lie. All sniper rifles do 70 damage, or 50 when silenced, and they are never affected by range. They differ in their multipliers for various parts of the body and the amount of recoil. Pretty much, the Intervention and Barrett have the highest recoil but also the highest multipliers, meaning they kill in one shot on more parts of the body. The M21 EBR has the least recoil and the lowest multipliers, and the WA2000 is somewhere in the middle.

The way the math works out, if you like the WA2000, you should try using it either with a silencer and Stopping Power, or without a silencer and with Cold Blooded.

I figured that to be the case. On my sniper class, I generally do WA2000 w/ heartbeat sensor (or thermal depending on the map). Scavenger pro, cold blooded pro, and steady aim pro.

I'll take a red blip when I fire, instead of showing up every time there's a UAV or killed by harriers and what not.

Cold Blooded is okay, except the classes I use always have Stingers ready. Nobody on my team needs it unless they want to stay off UAV that is up until I shoot it down.

I played the first CoD and CoD 2 on PC, I didn't like either much. Felt like a half-hearted attempt at a more realistic Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. My old roommate convinced me to get CoD 3 and that was a mistake. That said I really wasn't even remotely interested in CoD 4 until someone gave me a beta code...the beta itself blew my mind. That was one phenominal game...I tried the beta of World at War and didn't like it at all. I finally bought W@W about three months ago just to play through the SP and then sold it. MW2 isn't as good as CoD 4 but it's still a ton of fun.

As for multiplayer if you're worried about getting your butt kicked play with some of us or join a private match with your friends, you'll get better at it over time.

I just started up last week in multi. Played a lil of the first COD4 multi but got tired/bored of it. Now I can't get enough. For me, playing Mercenary Team DM seems to be the "fairest" way of getting better, unless you have a ton of friends who are good that you can join up with. Always seems like in FFA or normal Team DM that you have groups of guys who all play together - you either get raped by them or rape with them...it never really balances out from game to game.

I'm hardly good at this point but have seen a lot of improvement. I've even topped the list for my team for points and K-D ratio, but I'm just assuming it's b/c everyone else sucks equally

This game is ridiculous...It's like crack. I've logged over 4 days of play time in the friggin mp now.

Finally at .99, and about 70 kills away from 1.0 in k/d. I might stop after I've completed that goal. For a week at least.

Congrats! Although if you stop for a week you might lose your "edge" and drop down below 1.0, you'd be better off to keep playing ()

lol, its a vicious cycle.

Kabob I had some friends over (they're very into the KD ratio) and when they were checking out my leaderboard they noticed your name at the top and thought you were god. Just thought you'd like to know.

Yea I'm getting tired of staring at his 2.0+ K/D ratio.. haha

If you guys want to try to get another private match or just a party going this week I'll actually be around to be able to play this time. I don't care when, but I think it would be fun.

2.0 kd..definitely sick. I have guys on my list that are like 1.6 and such, and they always own. I'm a pretty crappy .99. I had never really played any of the other cod multiplayer though.

I only use cold blooded pro on my sniper class. Comes in really handy on places like Wasteland. If you can lay in the grass without anyone seeing you if you don't move much other plays run past you all the time. CBP adds the no red name or cross hairs when enemies target you.

High kill ratios is a sure sign of one thing...I play too much! Just ask my wife, she'll agree! :awe:

I have up days and down days. Yesterday I played for maybe two hours and the worst game I played I had a 2:1 kill ratio, the best one I had I went 36-3 and plenty of 24-2's and such. Then other days I will just be "off" and play 5 games in a row where I barely break even or go negative and it'll drop. Once again, "a vicious cycle!" D:

Hey, I was tired of staring at your ration in CoD 4! Honestly I need to focus more on my wins than on my kills...I had a 2:1 win ratio a few weeks ago and now it's in the low 1.7's...the issue is that I'm in control of my kill ratio, I've got to rely on 5 other people for my win ratio and playing mostly MTDM doesn't make it easy.

And I too would be up for a private match. A good chance for you to get your multiplayer feet wet blowfish.

Ice-T showed off one of his after action reports. Pretty good.


Not too shabby, I thought of taking a picture of my accolades page the other day...then the cat jumped up and started watching the screen and I got distracted.

2.0 kd..definitely sick. I have guys on my list that are like 1.6 and such, and they always own. I'm a pretty crappy .99. I had never really played any of the other cod multiplayer though.

Once again, I'm constantly at war between getting caught up in the kill ratios and having fun. If you go 2-10 and have fun and I go 20-12 and am upset about my kill ratio then you're the winner. I try not to take games too seriously (I mean come on, it's a video game) but having fun is always #1.

Trust me, .99 isn't bad, I've got a friend with a 0.1*:1 kill ratio, I've also got a friend (who I shouldn't have removed from my friends list, sorry about that Dead Soul) who last time I checked had a 4.5:1 or so kill ratio.

Ice-T the rapper/actor? Where was this?

Yep, the rapper/actor/pimp. He posted it on his twitter. He's talked before about his game playing on Jimmy Fallon and gave out his gamertag and the games he likes to play.
