[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Sethos]

Really wish they did more missions like the AC-130 and Blackhawk mission, it's huge fun to fly around while covering someone on the ground.

[Corris Veteran]

Yup "Overwatch" I think is the name with the AC130 mission

That one is easy to complete on veteran as the guy running on ground wont even have to fire a single shot :p

I would disagree, there's always one or two enemies that can hide indoors etc, at least that happened to me and whoever it was on Neowin I was playing Spec Ops with earlier.

Got proper shotgun'd in the face too, lol.

[Sethos]

Yeah, there are plenty of enemies spawning right in front of the ground-player and inside buildings they need to pay attention to.

What's the mode with the bomb planting called again? I kicked ass on that earlier, 4 successful plants, explosions and round wins from me in a row :p

Reminds me a bit of Counterstrike when playing that mode (aside from the respawning duh!).

Player invites are working perfectly for me on the PS3 now.

[AaronMT]

Demolition ^

[SMELTN]

Detonation mode isnt it? I LOVE that mode because it is so Counter-Strikish. Tons of fun

WOOT!! Got wifi working at the hotel.. I was sooo worried because everytime I try to connect to the internet at the hotel, it has you open a webpage and click login basically.. But I called the company of the wifi the hotel uses and the tech guy told me, sure man, we have people connecting Xbox's all the time.. Matter of fact there are 3 other xbox's in your hotel right now.. So he hooked me up. I want to go stand in the lobby holding my MW2 box to see if anyone walks up and talks about it to see if they are playing it.. But in todays world, somebody may find out what room I am staying in and break in and steal it. :p

This game is making me Bipolar. One min I'm enjoying my self on a lag free game, beating the **** out of everyone with my mouse skills then all of a sudden it'll **** me off when the game suddenly throws it's toys out of the pram and drops everyone and kicks me out of the game.

I am the master of the flukey shot with a sniper rifle today. Got a headshot from one side of the map to the other on that derail map, started giggling like a little girl. :(

[Konstanov]

I have the Akimbo Model 1887 Shotguns as my secondary weapon right now, and there is nothing more rape than playing Hardcore Team Deathmatch on Scrapyard with these, managed to get a nuke with them on my first life.

You should try Search and Destroy, its exactly like CS including no respawns.

[smiff]

I literally cannot get enough of Team Deathmatch at the mo (not yet tried any of the other modes), thing is though - I seem to be doing a hell of a lot better than I was in MW.

More likely than not, I will now finish the round within the top two of my team - whereas in MW, I'd often struggle to get higher than the bottom.

So has it been made easier (although, only the maps could be 'easier' as theres obviously no ai online), or have I just become awesome? There do seem to be a hell of a lot of camp-friendly places on these maps, as opposed to very few last time round. Not that I camp, of course..

That said, if I played any of you lot, I don't doubt you'd make me eat my words.

[Veedems Veteran]

I actually find it more difficult. The maps have more cover spots and player camo is way better on most of the maps.

[Sethos]

It has certainly gotten a lot easier if you have a tactical playstyle ( I refuse to say camping, I feel it's a negative word to a viable tactic ) - So many options and possibilities perk and map wise to stay hidden and sneak up on enemies now. I love how you can silence every weapon now and even snipers get a decent secondary weapon without losing a perk spot. I also love the fact with these new open maps, claymores and that sort of crap isn't viable anymore - I can cound on one hand how many claymores I've seen and hand on heart, I have only seen one getting killed by a claymore, massive improvement.

It's amazing how they balanced the two types of play styles - The twitch players who run around at 50mph gunning down every moving object and the tactical, slow moving players can actually co-exist.

After I got cold blooded, Hardcore mode became 10x as easy and 20x as fun.

[Veedems Veteran]

I have to give Hardcore a try. I have a feeling with Cold Blooded, a silencer and heart beat detector, I could have a decently good round or two.

[Sethos]

I'm not a big fan of the heart beat detector, yes it does give you a general direction of the enemy but you tend to rely so much on it and just stop every fifth second to "ping" in front of you. You also tend to forget the ninja perk - So I just rely on reaction time and the time wasted on looking at that monitor can be used to scan the battlefield - A scope and a silencer is my preferred combo.

Also got a bit of a question, me and a friend was discussing it; what is the point of the holographic scope beside variation? I mean, it has more clutter within the scope than a red dot plus the mounting itself is bigger, sometimes limiting the view - Am I missing something?

[Veedems Veteran]

Yeah, I'm not sure, either. I realized the frame of the scope was obscuring my view, so I reverted back to the red dot.

It helps as a sniper, when you're zoomed you can often hear the *PING* of someone attempting to creep up on you.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

Barrett .50 Cal + ACOG + Silencer with Bling (duh), Stopping power and Scramble = Good class ;)

Quiet, Sneaky and discreet. :p

Also... Can you level up in a private match? Do you get your killstreaks? Me and a mate want to test out the nuke :p

I tend to just cover my ass by constantly checking, you don't need to sit still for 10 minutes at the time to be an effective sniper in this game.

[Slane]

The Ninja perk makes you invisible to Heartbeat sensors. Cold blooded pro for everything else.

Seriously? Ya'll are using an ACOG on a sniper? ACOG sucks so hard on the .50 cal. I hated doing that. Give me my .50 cal with Thermal and FMJ and it's over.

Nothing can beat a Thermal Scope on a sniper.

Yes, but it's seperate from Live.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

i haven't unlocked the .50 cal thermal yet so i cant really pass comment :p ACOG has the accuracy and allows you to see people coming to your building outside of the scope sight.

[Slane]

You will understand how good the Thermal is once you unlock it.

[JustGeorge]

I really wish this game had at least 2 more missions. It was over so soon!

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

[Ash_09]
