Modern Warfare 2

[Slamman]

At some point I'll get it to try, have the first one, obviously. It made the Network TV news, locally, as did Nintendo Wii (nationally?) about the benefits of Wii Fit, is it actually working for people with issues?) BUT, back to MF2.

 

 

The news showed video of the airport being attacked by terrorists and troops going in, guns blazing, and the reporters claimed in the terrorist scenario, you can use innocent people as "shields", and that was over the top alarming with the aftermath of 9/11 still in people's minds. Do you think the game over-shot with that scene added?

 

I am reminded of the future action/comedy with Arnold A. on Mars, where he uses a guy to deflect all the bullets shot at him, and tosses the body aside, done for humor, obviously, it was tasteless and excessive, and director Paul Verhoeven heard back on that, further alienating him with uptight critics.

 

Of course, video games and movies take real life and allow you to just explore what might or would happen, still, geared towards young people, it CAN be harmful in the wrong hands, I feel

One, the 'scene' in question is a optional mission where you play as a terrorist (actually an undercover CIA agent) and mow down civilians in a Russian airport.

 

Second, what the f*ck are you talking about?

You can't use people as human shields. Basically, you shoot some innocents, fight with the airport security and that's it.

[AreXi]

Actually, you don't even have to shoot them, no need to squeeze the trigger at all. Just walk with the Ultranationalists through the airport.

[Bates_GTA]

I guess it is very controversial. But what isn't now days? But as i've said ALOT you get the chance to skip any offensive missions before the game starts. I myself think the influence on games is ridiculous, if the person playing the game is stupid enough to act out what they see in a VIDEO GAME then they shouldn't be playing games.

You can't use civilians as human shields, you can only shoot them. The player also has the option to skip the mission, or to just not pull the trigger at all and let Makarov and his men do all the work.

 

Seriously though, who gives a sh*t. We kill (or at least I do) hundreds of civilians in GTA. We throw them down stairs, we shoot them, we explode them, we run them over, those people who find the 'No Russian mission' awful should just skip the mission and get over it.

 

On another note, I've just had a kickass free-for-all match. Got a 30-10 and manned a AC-130, f*cking awesomeness. There was this one dude which sounded to be about 40 and he was screaming down his headset at me

 

I also got one of those grenade impact kills where you kill the enemy by throwing the grenade AT them.

[.2D]

I hear alot of people complaing about that mission on youtube, tbh people need to grow some f*cking balls and realise its only a game. People play GTA all the time and you can kill f*ckloads of civvys and no one cried like bitches when that came out .

 

Just mastered the SCAR . Only need the Headshots now, im only on urban since I suck at headshots.

 

I think this is my Class,

 

SCAR-H + Holographic/Red dot sight + Urban Camo

Stinger Missle.

Tactical Insertion + Stun Grenades

Scanvenger Pro

Stopping power Pro

Steady Aim Pro

PainKiller

Rank 32.

 

Any way I can improve that?

Three headshots from Red Tiger on the Intervention now. I really want to get Fall camo on at least one gun and I think this'll be the first one. I'm also trying to get the 40 FMJ kills with it, but I find it really hard as the only shots I can regularly get on people are through low walls meaning the shot will only penetrate and hit their legs, after which they sprint off before I can land a kill shot. Anyone got any tips on how I should go about this, or maybe a different way of looking at it?

[Hell No..]

I think I'm missing something with the points.

 

I had like 250 so far, took down a Jet for 300, but it didn't show on the board. Or is this something that adds on after the match?

it uses the same system as the challenges, you get it but it doesn't show up on your total score that match.

otherwise you'd see everyone go crazy with their stingers when the other team calls in UAV/heli/AC130

So how does it work in S&D? It shows '+500' when you kill someone (or more ofcourse) yet only 100 of it shows up on the scoreboard

 

 

Last Stand Ability: Allows you to survive a normal death. You will drop to the ground and pull out your pistol. You can crawl in Last Stand, which was not possible in Call of Duty 4. Last Stand ends after 10 seconds or if you get shot again, and in both cases, you will die. Pro Ability: This allows you to use your equipment too, for example, frag grenades and throwing knifes.

 

So there's no getting up again? I was kind of thinking about using that to get longer killstreaks but that's not giong to work out now is it

[tarnell]

emm can someone tell me how does the tactical insertion work?

[AreXi]

You drop a green flare which indicates your next spawn point. So if you die, you'll spawn where you dropped the flare.

[ScratchCard]

Keep in mind that enemies can easily disable it. Plus, it takes a pretty long to actually light the flare, you might get killed before dropping it - thus spawning at a random spawn point as usual.

Well when I have had a bad time and got a deathsreak and had last stand, I've survived and lived on to fight but I don't know about when you choose it as a perk I thought it would be the same, anyone know?

[oldage]

FINAL stand is a deathstreak, same thing as last stand but you won't die if you survive for 10 seconds, instead, you get back up.

LAST stand is a perk, you can only live for 10 seconds and you will not get up again.

[Hell No..]

How do I unlock more Killstreak things? I want a go in the airship so bad, haha.

Rank up. After every couple of levels you can get a new one

[Menaced]

Bah, I'm getting sick of people knifing me when they're 1 and a half meters away from me.

 

It's pissing me off.

[oldage]

what a night, I had 5 game winning kills in a row.

3 of them were with semtex stuck to someone.

It's called lag.

[Slick Willy]

That is impressive. Surprisingly out of about 300 games I have only gotten the final kill ONCE. Which is very lame. Although I suppose only a third of those games were TDM/FFA.

 

Only 8 bullet penetration kills away from SCAR mastery!

[Hell No..]

I use the SCAR all the time and nearly have the 800 kills thing. But how do I do that penetrate stuff?

 

@Scratch, say's in 6 levels. 6 levels?! f*ck me...

Kill someone by shooting through a weak surface; for example through some of the materials the houses in Favela are build from.

 

You do so in S.S.D.D. (the opening level) aswell, when you have to shoot through some weak material to destroy your target.

 

Pick your rewards wisely

Or Commando. You can knife someone from up to two feet away with it activated. It just teleports you to them.

I just got to level 70, which means i can finally get a proper go with the AK-47, i hope it's decent.

Shhh you. I've been doing ok with it, i sucked with it on Derail though, but i do kinda hate that map.

[anuj]

I saw some guy idling today during a 3v3. We had 7400 points and the other two guys on my team were dicking around, so I went up to the idler, dropped a care package smoke on him, and watched happily as he was crushed by a crate.
