Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Grunt]

thats how i went 43-1, was just m16.
i also like the scar with FMJ and stopping power. I've killed people with one bullet across maps. I prefer it to the m16 only because the iron sights are good, and if they're up close, and i miss with the m16, i have down time before i can shoot again, but scar is automatic.

I never understood why

Captain Price launched, or let the missiles launch. I'm talking about the Code Black. Or...the Sniper Fi Spec Ops level.

 

[Grunt]

it was the EMP

Whatchu mean =_=

I figured after playing the campaign twice, I would understand. But No siree.

Is this game REALLY as good as people said it is? Or is it really overhyped?

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Well, bad news kiddies. I logged on today to add Green Fox (which I did) and I learned my Xbox Live months have expired. Now I do have the 2 Day card that came with the game, but after that, I'm screwed. I'll go look for my wallet though. Or steal from parents ^_^
Naw. But you guys just tell me when to use my 48-Hour trial.

 

[Grunt]

remember when the astronaut watches the missile from space and it explodes?
that was what Price launched.
it was the EMP.
that's why, in the next mission as the Ranger, all the helicopters fall from the sky and your red dot stops working.

Don't feel bad, I just beat the campaign on veteran difficulty and I'm still confused on the story because it has many plot holes in it. The ending also reminded me of Halo 2's "epic" ending. *COUGHCLIFFHANGERCOUGH*

In my opinion, the game was a bit overhyped. I was a bit dissapointed with the campaign's length and ending.

You should buy a year's worth of XBL on eBay. I got my year for $43

It was to disable all vehicles and equipment to level the playing field for the rangers and the enemies.

Who here thinks EMP sucks for how many kills you need to get it? <_< hardline pro should have let you have 4 kill streaks

 

[:mad:]

I don't think so. Preventing killstreaks, jamming the radar, stopping heartbeat sensors. It really gives you a large advantage. I can see it being really popular for anyone that plays on a team. If one person has an EMP set and they get it, that can really give the person's teammates the momentum. It's more of a support streak rather than a killer.

4 kill streaks? Are you crazy? Predator -> Harrier -> Pavelow/Chopper Gunner -> Chopper Gunner/Nuke.

 

[F8AL]

How long does the EMP disable all that stuff?

 

[Charizard92]

In game: A minute or two
In reality: Forget it coming back, EMPs fry any unprotected electronics, period. No cars, no lights, no hospitals, no modern warfare 2, nothin'. If you are over reliant on technology (which I'm guessing you are) then you are going to be in a world of hurt if an EMP goes off near you (or above you, 300 miles above Kansas or so can knock out the entire country [NO EVIL IDEAS!])

 

[Omis]

Just went 27-3 today. Definitely a sign that Im getting a lot better. Gotta love those Harriers on Afghan

Yup, there's really not a lot of cover on Afghan unless you hide in the bunkers or the area in the middle.

 

[The Real Gamer]

F8AL I LOVE your signature. LOL

I had a pretty slow day today on MW2. No nukes. BUT, I was able to get my K/D up to a 1.91. I'm getting very, very close.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

F8AL I wanna see your Sig too!

Good stuff Green Fox! I actually thought you did really well!
I went 20-2 On Sub-Base. Got 2 10-Kill-Streaks. Died one kill before Chopper Gunner. Twice. Angree faec. Oh well..

 

[GreenFox]

Yeah it was fun sorry I couldnt play longer we should do it again sometime other people in this thread add me GT: Zoob man

 

[F8AL]

One day we should all play together in domination or something. It'd be pretty epic.

Btw Greenfox, I just added you on XBL. Accept me, my GT is: II F8AL II

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Yeah he's good
I'll be on tonight. Somebody hit meeeeeeeeeeeeee uppppppppppppppp

Modern Warfare 2's poor translation, censorship in Japan draws ire

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/04/modern-warfare-2s-poor-translation-censorship-in-japan-draws-i/

"Additionally, Japanese site My Game Flash has rounded up other complaints about the localization, most notably an alteration to the sensationalized "No Russian" mission. Rather than delete the mission (as in the censored Russian version), Square Enix had the Japanese version of the mission adjusted to restrict the player from participating in a terrorist assault on an airport. If the player does engage civilian targets, it's game over.

Square Enix has posted an update on the Modern Warfare 2 Japanese site describing the full Japanese language and subtitle tracks and warning of the "No Russian" edits, but has not announced plans to patch the translation errors or change the limitations on the censored mission. The publisher has cited technical limitations, which prevent selectable English and Japanese language tracks."

 

[The Real Gamer]

Anyone who plays MW2 needs to watch this video. The first tactical nuke without the use of a Chopper Gunner or AC130. How did he do it? With the use of the One Man Army perk.

He has two classes with one man army. All he had to do was switch classes every time he was low on ammo and he basically had an infinite supply of M4 rounds. BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT! Why have I never thought of this??? I'm setting up two classes like that as soon as I get back on my Xbox!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfUC739VO_U

EDIT: It turns out that this guy wasn't the very first to get a legit nuke (I think he's like number 2 or something), but it doesn't matter the video is still very entertaining to watch.

 

[F8AL]

I thought that you could only switch your classes once with the 'One Man Army' perk...oh IW....

Btw, I now have every achievement in MW2. 50/50 1000 GS!!! w00t! lol

Wait, Japan is potentially censoring No Russian, Holy ****ing ****. Typically, Japan has the most relaxed censorship policies of any country (I understand Russia censoring it, they were the antagonist for 2/3rds of the game [Thanks to the plot hole filled No Russian], but Japan!). Maybe Infinity ward should have toned it down a bit in order to avoid problems, or maybe just have said that you could skip it and that you don't actually have to shoot (although with armed police involved, the guy involved could have claimed "I'm saving my bullets for the special forces")

Besides, the level is so plot hole filled that it was better of not existing, to avoid angering the people who think video games are evil and confusing those who pay attention.
(The video cameras would have caught The terrorist's face, there were two dead Russian terrorists too, the Russians would have noticed the tattoos on the Agent's body, they could have linked the bullet to the terrorist, there would have been investigations on why a CIA agent was involved in a terrorist attack, and potentially more I can't even come up with.)

8 million played Modern Warfare 2 in its first week

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/04/8-million-played-modern-warfare-2-in-first-week/

"Publisher Activision notes that the 8 million folks dabbled in Modern Warfare 2 during its first week of release, which outnumbers basically every major organized army on the planet, Activision gloats."

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Well today I started using Rangers for teh lulz. I ended up saying "wow this is actually pretty good". I'm in love with the Rangers now. Mostly Akimbo but Single is still decent. Not bad Range. But these are good as a filler until you get Model 1887's.

Thank god...I hate glitchers.

Last night I went 15-0 on wastelands and I just went 22-2 on overpass.

1.66 k/d ratio now.

 

[Delta-cod]

What's everyone here's accuracy?

I got 31.24%

I think that's incredibly above average, or at least according to everywhere else I look it is. I heard some people can't break 20. D:

 

[xLeafybug =D]

22.24% on PS3. My Live expired, so I don't remember that one.

Either you're an exceptional Sniper, or you don't play alot.

 

[F8AL]

Mine sucks. I think it's like 17% or something. I tend to spray and pray a lot and miss. lol

Oh please dont tell me you are a dashboarding person. Whats the point of doing that?

Bad news. I won't get MW2 til Christmas


On the other hand, I played it at a friend's house, and I ****ing love the Vector.

Actually, I love any gun with high fire rate.

 

[F8AL]

Oh please dont tell me you are a dashboarding person. Whats the point of doing that?

To keep their precious win streak intact.

I also had a javelin glitcher on my team. I gave him negative rep and filed a complaint against him. Hope he gets banned.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Explain to me what that is? Never heard of it.

 

[Charizard92]

Bad news. I won't get MW2 til Christmas

Hey, I had to wait 'till A holiday I celebrate that gives out presents come. Fortunately, I'm Jewish, and Hanukkah is said holiday, and it starts in a week.
That is a pro & a con.

Anyway, I am reconsidering my hatred of the glock. It is actually more useful than I thought as a sniper's sidearm. It is a good branch between MPs and Pistols. It's recoil is problematic, but it is somewhat mitigated with akimbo (which makes the Glock outright deadly). I also do well with bullet hoses too (Halo's SMG, in fact, I preferred the ODST SMG over the ODST pistol), so it ain't a problem.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Why does my predator missle never hit? Can it not hit inside buldings? If so I'd rather have a care package
