Modern Warfare 2

[Rebel]

Made me laugh, a guy was using a riot shield on Terminal and I was shooting at it for some stupid reason, he didn't catch on that I was shooting at him/following him so I ran up to him and knifed him in the back. Was quite chuffed with myself.

[anuj]

Jack The Ripper is f*cking GODLIKE

 

 

I fired maybe two mags the entire round, and got my first hack accusation.

[ScratchCard]

Is it any good in FFA anuj?

 

And what do you mean with 'refer to it while in a building'? Why not when you're outside?

 

Also quoted for the lazy:

 

 

Jack the Ripper

Perk 1: Marathon (run forever)

Perk 2: Lightweight (I didn't realize that this perk also increased sprint speed)

Perk 3: Commando (increase melee range)

 

Weapon1: SMG of choice, you want to be light as possible. Equipping a LMG on this build is not synergistic with the build and will slow down your character to something like pre-Lightweight rifler levels

Weapon2: stay light, shotgun or pistols

Attachments: Heartbeat Sensor, refer to it once you're inside a building.

Equipment: Throwing Knife

Special Grenades: Stun because it slows down the enemy. The problem with flash is that they can still shoot and move while blinded. Another option is Tactical Insertion but only on large maps; your guy will be too fast on a small or medium map as to make TI redundant.

Killstreaks: UAV, C-UAV, last slot is filler but stick to low-level streaks because you're not going to last long enough for the big stuff. A nice touch would be to drop Care Packs in enemy territory and draw them in like moths.

Started doing well again tonight, been playing Sabotage a lot, and playing with a decent team of mates really makes a difference. Had some very close matches, but I've been coming it with scores like 60-10 and hitting 50+ kills in a load of matches.

 

As for the matchmaking, it's been fine for me, apart from the fact that my 360 simply refuses to stick with an Open NAT. I can get it there after applying a fix (UPNP, port forwarding etc) but it just changes back to Strict after a while even though the fix is still applied.

Actually, the guy who originally wrote that forgot that SMGs don't get HBS. It's a lot easier to just run like a f*cking madman and scan for targets. I went 30-5 in a FFA on Scrapyard. FFA is fun because anyone you see gets a knife to the face.

FFA? And that class sounds beastly.

[supermortalhuman]

Been reading a lot of good things about this, the latest COD. See you when it's not priced ridiculously and more like $19.99

[ScratchCard]

Free For All

 

Thanks anuj Will try that out tomorrow

[FullMetal]

supermortalhuman: online is great and alot of fun (beats the living crap out the previous 2 games for sure) though it ain't worth the price actually.

 

You should get it at 20 bucks MAX... else it's a waste (singleplayer wasn't that impressive/great + was really short. PC version is buggy as hell (crashes/lagg/...).

I just went 40-9 using only my knife (no bullets at all) on scrapyard. Go me. I use ninja instead of commando though.

[EmagmaLak]

as cool as it is (And it is cool) but does anyone else find the heartbeat sensor really distracting?

In S&D its helpful when your stealthy But in busy games like domination i dont find it helpful atall

[swolo yaggins]

Been reading a lot of good things about this, the latest COD. See you when it's not priced ridiculously and more like $19.99

Good luck with that. Wasn't MW released like 2-3 years ago? I bought it last month for $49.99

 

Yeah, FFA is tits. Use my ninja class on that and I spend most of the time throwing knives at people and just general winning. Spent a whole day pwning FFA and won about 80% of them, my biggest win being a 30-6..

 

Ha, the other day I tried 3rd TD and it was on Estate. sh*t, that was fun. Control of the house in 3rd person couldn't have been any more fun.

[Ryan]

Well 6 hours after I installed it, I just beat the storyline. I didn't experience any problems with it like some people say. The game actually played pretty flawlessly for me. Nothing I can really complain about. On the game play aspect of things, the Riot Shields are f*cking retarded. You sit there and shoot at it with a machine gun for 30 seconds and nothing happens. Those really annoyed me. Other then that though, an awesome game. An awesome game, but not worth the $60 EB Games made me pay for it.

 

MP time!

Funny, when COD4 came out, I got it for $89.95, in GAME.

 

Today, the same store, its $119.95. Yes.. COD4

[skramz]

I finished the storyline. It was great, but quite short. Finished in 5 hours, ~50 minutes. Now I play the multiplayer. After 3.6h of playing, I am at level 12, 200XP away from the next. It is so damn addictive. I do get killed a lot, though. On average, I probably get 1 kill for every 3 deaths. Do you guys have any tips?

Some tips you should keep in mind are [from my personal experience]:

 

When close to a enemy, start bursting before aiming at him.

That's right, using hip-fire is a good strategy in killing a enemy when in close combat. By the time he aims down at you, you'll already have a couple shots in him, decreasing his health and for him ready to die.

 

Don't keep coming back to the camper.

If you know there's someone at a specific spot on a map waiting for enemies, don't keep coming back at him if he keeps killing you. You're just giving him more kills to end the game quicker.

 

Knifing

Always knife a enemy when coming from behind instead of shooting at him. By doing so, you're avoiding to give away your spot on the radar and saving ammo, too. If you have a silencer, aim for the head, it's a free headshot. (assuming you want challenges)

 

Flank

If playing TDM, don't follow your teammates, instead go around the other way and try coming behind you're enemies if possible. Again, knifing or using a silencer to try and avoid your spot.

 

Reloading

Every time you kill someone, reload (even though the screen doesn't say reload). You'll never know when you'll encounter 2-3 enemies at the same time next time you turn that corner. You won't want to run out of ammo while in combat.

 

Don't charge

[TDM] Charging into a pile of enemies just to get one kill isn't worth it. Sure, you'll get a kill, but so will they.

 

Weapon swap

Remember, switching to you're secondary weapon is always faster than reloading.

 

Destroy that Heli

Sacrificing yourself [to switch classes for an RPG] and taking down that chopper is better than trying to avoid it. You'll get one death, but the helicopter will be gone afterwords. Rather than getting 2-3 deaths from it and waiting till it flees.

 

These are just a few techniques I use while playing, they work for me.. might just work for you.

If you don't mind me adding some of my own tips;

 

Grenades

 

Don't waste them, wait until you know you can cause some serious damage (eg. some people are capping flag in domination, bust out a frag in the middle then tidy up the kills with bullets)

 

Riot Shields

 

These thing f*cking destroy. Work with your teammates when you're using one and you can dominate the map, always be sure to crouch when enemies are shooting at you. Also, when running away wield your secondary weapon so they can't shoot at your back, if you're on Afghan or somewhere that has some awesome sniping, be sure to pick up a sniper rifle, lie down with the riot shield on your back, and no one can shoot you without getting A) a headshot B) they lie down next to you.

 

Challenging

 

If Halo has taught me anything, in a 1v1 battle you have think ahead of your opponent. If you see one guy on your radar and hes behind the wall next to you, you have to think. Will you run out with your shotgun, what if hes crouching? Will you let him run at you with his shotgun? Will you throw a grenade? What if he runs out while you throw the grenade?

 

You need to remain calm in these sort of situations and decide whether you have a better chance of running away, a better chance of outslaying him if he does rush at you or if you reckon you could surprise him.

[TEoS]

Any PS3 users having issues with the party system? I get invites to parties and matches and it just says "Unable to connect to host" after a few seconds. I'm unsure whether it's a problem with the game or if it's my sh*tty Japanese internet.

 

Can't believe the AK-47 is so high up on the unlocks. It's my favorite gun.

[Lubas]

I have a question for SP, Is "Endgame" is the last mission? I just curious because mine is crash after we fall to the waterfall I wanted to know if Makarov dead or he lived again.... Thanks Guys

Makarov's fate is never revealed.

 

Technically speaking the last mission would be the Epilogue where you get to run around the museum featured in the credits and kill things.

[Minic]

M93 Raffica is pure awesome, i just got 24-12 (not the best ever score) with it on a Ground war game full of people with SMGs, ARs and LMGs, so that's not too bad in my opinion.

Edited November 15, 2009 by Minic

[Lubas]

But General Sheperd is already dead in that heli we take down right??? I still dont understand why Sheperd kill us after we got the DSM. Is he betraying our country ( The USA )?

[The-King]

Have you actually finished the game? Killed Sheperd and gotten rescued by Nikolai.

[tubbs51]

i find it retarded that people have to cheat inorder to be good at a video game. some douche by the name of mafiaGENERALD has a kill streak of over 600 yes over 600 effing kills. tell me if the most in a match is 75 and the streak ends when the game does how the hell can people get triple digit kill streaks?? i hope MS and IW do a better job running the leaderboards than they did in MW1 cause its retarded if a guy that glitches and cheats yet hes awarded with the top spot on the leaderboard?? WTF

[Inky]

Although this game for PC may blow some major ass, it's a definite console win in my opinion. I, like many people, beat the single player campaign in around 4-5 hours (and I actually thought even though it was quite short, it was very sweet) and I'm addicted to the multiplayer right now. Takes me back to the days of CoD4 playing online.

 

I'm using the second Assault rifle right now (can't remember its name) w/ ACOG, along with a shotty and I haven't even bothered trying out any other weapons. I love the three-round burst. Seems to kick ass quite well

 

Question though. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the red-dot and holographic (?) sights? The only thing I was able to notice is if someone drops an EMP the holo-sight is disabled but I've never had one dropped when I had the red-dot.

[asimov]

EMP's disable both sights. Apparently the only difference between the holo and red dot is the holo sight dosen't sway when you look left adn right. IMO the holo sight sucks, it obscures more than the red dot.

[FullMetal]

Hah, we share the same fate... I bet (if you play online or start playing online) that you also will experience 'crashes' when maps load.

 

It's f*cking weak....

[Stig]

Just finished the game, and I have to say that the storyline is short, but it's also very great with some good twists.. and some of the music on some of the levels really made the storyline feel real to me. Very good all together

[asimov]

This new host migration is going to ruin online for me. I would say 60% of my games are 1 bar, the rest are yellow, with the exception of a game here and there that's three green. Even if I get decent one round in with some aussies the next one is usually ruined by someone on the other side of the world joining with a better connection and becoming the host >

[1ManArmy]

My internet was down for three days after the PS3 server was fixed. That sucked so badly. But I just got it back up now and I LOVE IT!!!! It's f*cking epic. Oh and Famas=WIN.

Use the SCAR if you have it. Damn that thing is great

 

Gonna try that Jack the Ripper build now
