The same person doesn't plant every time, so it's not likely they'll check. If they do, you can hear the explosion and bait them into camping.

I hate dying in this game. LOL

So today I was gonna get a nuke for the hell of it, and at the 24th kill, my team mates, yes, two of them, get killed by ONE guy and the guy kills me as well. All I could do about it was laugh...Eventhough it felt as if a part of me died there, forever!

Be sure to send those guys friend requests and let them know their help was appreciated.

EDIT: Wow, I cannot believe I hit a tree.

Sorry I left, I'm eating now. Thanks so much, man.

NPD: Modern Warfare 2 Sells 6 Million

http://kotaku.com/5423781/npd-moder...-new-super-mario-bros-139-million-in-november

"As widely expected, Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 moved over 6 million copies in the U.S. last month on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, making the first-person shooter November's best selling video game."
Perhaps this is the wrong place to say it, but the game does not deserve that. with a crappy campaign and a bad special opps, the fairly good online is not enough to have this game beat all other games in sale and (unfortunately) steal "game of the year" from the games that deserve it (Brutal Legend, Assassin's creed II, L4D2). and yes, it will get game of the year, I'm nearly certain. but at least it's limelight will be taken once Bioshock 2 comes out, although it won't get as much sales as MW2.

Name a better game that came out this year and list reasons why it's better.

a crappy campaign and a bad special opps,
Crappy campaign? Bad Special Ops? If you didn't enjoy playing through this, then you must have extremely high standards and I suggest you avoid gaming at all costs. In my opinion, the campaign was just fine. You explored so many different parts of the world. You climbed cliffs, chased down arms dealers in Brazil, defended the US in Washington D.C, and breached an enemy camp high up a mountain. It had some moderately challenging missions that really made you play cautiously. Special Ops was a very good concept and it only added to the fun. It obviously impressed a lot of people, otherwise nobody would purchase it. The graphics were stunning and the controls were solid. I see very little flaws with the multiplayer and it would help if you tell us what was wrong with the single player, rather than claim it just sucks.

the fairly good online is not enough to have this game beat all other games in sale and (unfortunately) steal "game of the year" from the games that deserve it (Brutal Legend, Assassin's creed II, L4D2).
Brutal Legend would need better sales, AC2 was decent, and L4D2 could easily take runner-up. I couldn't decide between the two, but I'd say MW2 would have the slight edge. The multiplayer is really, really good this time around. If everyone has a good connection, you'll really love it. Adding a 3rd person mode was a really good idea for those out there that enjoy it, they balanced the perks fairly well. We're still early in the games life, but we're pretty sure what the best guns are. Pretty much any AR excluding the FAL and F2000. M16, SCAR, ACR, and FAMAS, are all pretty close.

and yes, it will get game of the year, I'm nearly certain. but at least it's limelight will be taken once Bioshock 2 comes out, although it won't get as much sales as MW2.
That goes without saying. This game had so much hype to begin with. Infinity Ward must be doing something right if they get these kind of fans.

This is all my opinion, feel free to disagree. Just don't bash it without backing yourself up.

As thrilling as the campaign may be, it may get a few points reduction for the controversial (yet morally tolerable due to the fact that you can skip it or remain pacifistic) No Russian, but more likely, I think the main problem with the story is the total number of plot holes loaded into it (see No Russian, again)

Agreed on the games. Also, we can already filter the guns to a handful (4 ARs, 3 Snipers, 2 LMG, 2 Pistols, 3 MPs, 4 shotguns [or so], and 3 Rocket launchers, the only class without any filtering is the SMG)

And thankfully, Hanukkah starts tomorrow, and I already penciled this in as my Hanukkah present (now just what to get for Christmas)

Because Lightweight was so gamebreaking before.

I'm talking about gameplay in general. It played so well and while paying attention to the plot the first time, I enjoyed it more when I completely ignored what anyone was saying after a second play-through. The story won't earn it any points for game of the year, but the gameplay really wins people over.

It's the bi-weekly TRG is back on his Xbox MW2 partay! Anyone who can play needs to be on Xbox Live tomorrow at around 8:00!!
I am SO in for that. :)

nuke boosting?
Get a friend on the other team, meet up somewhere, have them put down a tactical insertion, kill them, repeat 25 times = tactical nuke!

No.

I cant believe they nerfed lightweight. Does IW hate the community or something?
Yes, they especially hate the PC community

Halo 3:ODST? LOL I KID, I KID!

The patch for MW2 just passed M$'s certification and will be pushed on XBL shortly.

I'll be there. :) Looking forward to it.

F8AL is awesome, he spent nearly an hour and a half with me while we got destroyed by Juggernauts on Estate Takedown. But then I slashed them to death and sniped 15 of em'. It felt so good getting payback.

EDIT: No, you got the 1337th post, F8AL.

Had a WEIRD game last night... err... tonight...

So I'm in a game of 3rd person cage with some guy (gunner 7, or some @#$%). Game starts off with him and his akimbo 1337s (calling them that on purpose, I don't have a problem with them. Moving on). Kill him with my knife (XD) He makes a comment, 'Okay, you're good'. Making idle conversation, I said, 'Nah, just got lucky. Go back and forth for three more kills, and then the bull **** happened...

I noticed he had the M203(?), and he started infinite rapid fire noobtubing... yes. You read correctly. Infinite. Rapid. Noob tube. >_> Reported him, obviously, but I didn't wanna rage quit. So I stuck around. And then guess what happened? His AC130 goes up, and THAT rapid fires the big gun.

I was so pissed I wanted to stab a baby... >_>


Grr...

You should have left the second you saw rapid fire Grenades.

At any rate, I'll be on tonight. 12 hours from now. Going for my Red Tiger M16.

So F8AL's visitor message to me last night (Stupid dorm room ONLY allows me to have one internet hooked up at a time) gave me an idea..

Could a moderator (or TRG himself) maybe add in everyones Timezones? I know that most of you know eachothers, but I don't know any of yours, that way, when people say "i'll be on till 10" then you can just look up their timezone if you don't know it and you'll know their timezone.

Maybe even do something like this:

TranZworld
Gt- TranZworld
Timezone - Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
Preferred gametypes - Ground War, Demolition, Hardcore SnD

just to maybe help out idiots like me who can't seem to find your gamertags :p

well, as soon as I get the game and complete the first few levels (so that I get a grip on the controls [may take awhile]), I'm gonna head to multiplayer. I'll give my gamertag there (or I can send letters, either way)

The patch for MW2 has been pushed onto LIVE. The next time you play MW2, you will be prompted to download the patch on the 360. So glad it fixed the stupid javelin glitch. :)

And:

F8AL
Gt- II F8AL II
Timezone - EST – Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hours)
Preferred gametypes - Team Deathmatch/Express, Domination, Ground War and SnD. (<--- Once I get unlock all the guns and perks I'll start playing SnD)

Doesn't matter, now the infinite ammo glitch without having to reload will be an even bigger issue to face. Getting barraged nonstop by the AC130 must be cool...

My time is Eastern pacific I think? LOL I live in Miami.
I couldn't help but laugh at this.

All of us that play are on EST, I believe. You and I are Florida, TRG is in Georgia, Icy is North Carolina (I think), and F8AL is Ontario.

What!? Anyone mind explaining this, or should I go look it up?

I prestiged for the second time yesterday. First map I got was estate. I used the default SMG class and it's set up near perfectly for a knifing class, which is what I did. I went like, 27-7 just using the Magnum and Tactical knife. :laugh:

I was at a friends house yesterday, and we played this for game for like, 3 hours.

As soon as I get a Ps3, I'm getting this. I know that PC > All, but most of my rl friends have this game for Ps3.

Err, wow. sometime after sundown I should get MW2 (provided that my parents got the right one [hopefully]). After getting a grip on things (and finding the right control scheme [Typically I usually jump & melee on a shoulder button and B is reload. If there is a control scheme that has this I'm sold]) I'll start playing. I'll send a friend request to one of you.

360 > All for this one unfortunatly.

PC is swarmed with TONS of hackers (i hear rates as high as 1 in every 5 players is a hacker. There's no banning, no dedicated servers is fail, and the lag is atrocious.

That's what I hear and what a guy on my floor said, at least.

Lmao, I'm sorry dude but I have never in my life bothered to look at a time sheet(the global ones). I can map the Big Bang timeline in my head but not figure out "Florida>Eastern atlantic time."

Nothing but pro-ness.

You don't need to look at a map to know Florida doesn't border the Pacific Ocean. :p

You are getting this for the 360, right Charizard?

Cheaters/hackers do get banned. It just takes a while because there are no longer server admins to look over the games and ban players.

IW is basically saying "**** you!" to their loyal PC fanbase/commnuity after years of support. :laugh:
