I'll be honest, last night while playing I ran into the bs we're all used to in this game but for the most part I was having fun while playing.

And this was alone too. That usually never happens .-.

Imo it depends on what lobby you're put into. Some are bearable while others are downright rage-enducing.

Man it's been so long since I played an FPS.

Maybe I'll hop on for a few games tonight.

Did they nerf the FMG's anymore?

Once I heard they were nerfing them a 2nd time I quit the game.

I play Infected a lot if that sheds some light on it. I don't look too much at my K/D and ignore most of the bull****.
This. Except I can only TRY to ignore the BS. Lots of stuff still agitates me and compels me to eject the disc.:applejack:

I really wish there was a way to go off the record where matches aren't counted for any stats. These games would be much more fun then... I remember in MW2 I had to keep my KDR around 2 or I wouldn't be happy, and it's still hard for me not to care now.

Yeah, I think they've already done it or are doing it again soon.

IW knows where their priorities lie.

Me too, maybe a playlist where nothing is recorded. That'd be fun.

This game actually never makes me mad, I just sort of accept the things that happen in this game and it never really gets to me. I think the only time I actually raged was a time I was going for a MOAB and got killed by Dead Man's Hand at like 20 kills. DMH is still the only thing that will annoy me in this game, but come on. The thing is bull****.

The community wanted death streaks, fourzerotwo said that himself.

Never trust a clown. A stealth clown.

From fourzerotwo's twitter:

"I wouldn't say no one, deathstreaks are popular among the lesser skilled players. The game has features for all skill sets."

"Last Stand was removed because it was super annoying as a perk (used every death), kept Final Stand as compromise (every 4)."

"I understand for guys like you & I who find it annoying no matter how often it is, this still sucks, but it is what it is."

Great logic there, Robby boy!

I guess they weren't happy with CoD4/WaW and the millions which those games made WITHOUT death streaks so in order to make BILLIONS, just add death streaks! :awesome:

Remember guys, every game should be easy to get into and everyone should play them!

Sucks how developers often "nobify" their games to appeal to the casual/bad players: i.e. brawl and splinter cell: conviction. :c

Ok, now what about Dead Man's Hand?

You know, where the deathstreak doesn't reset when you get a kill with DMA.

:glare:
Wait, really? I thought it does...

I think he means killing someone while the deathstreak is active, but you can still use it when you've taken enough damage. Like, having a surprise for enemies that thought you killed someone, thus clearing you of the deathstreak.:applejack:

To be fair, they are a company whose goal is to make profits, and like it or not, casuals come in droves to buy games like this and seem to be the best group to market to. I miss the old days of gaming... Get off my lawn.

Death streaks should be exclusive to the Wii version then. :smirk:

I agree, but then you have to remember how many 10 to 12 year olds there are out there with a 360. I hope either PS4 or Xbox 720/whatever it is going to be called has an expensive launch price, because that seems to keep the younger generations out of it. That said after Sony's launch mess with the PS3, I highly doubt that happens again. Casuals are here to stay... maybe I need to start gaming more on PC, but I just love my gaming rig setup a lot more (although this is my current PC build: http://imgur.com/a/cwzrT /showingoff). Has anyone here played much CoD on PC? Wonder what the communities are like.

Oh well, first world problems.

I trade options on stocks/futures for a living, and quit my job working for a firm to do it on my own in June, so this setup is sitting in my room. The big screen on the wall is a 50" plasma for size comparison. Love having this in my room, and work is a nice excuse to have this kind of rig! That said, I have my main PS3/360/Wii hooked up to a 106" HD projector with 7.2 surround, and I like being able to relax on the couch and play after work. PC gaming just isn't the same for me.

Why are you guys still not using Blast Shield Pro?
Blast Shield Pro doesn't compare to Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask in Black Ops, Grenades do less damage in this game, plus I lose ADS time because of no Quickdraw :(. That's why I don't use it.

I always run Specialist. Never really cared for Blast Shield all that much, since I'm pretty aware of who has DMH by observing the leasderboard after each death of mine, or when I have time. I seldom see rogue grenades during my play. Wish I could say the same for Stefan. :< Bouncing Betties are useless against me, and I still don't get the Claymores in this game. They're so... bad. C4 is still amazing, though.


I recently began using the Trophy System on my classes, it's GREAT. Predator Missile hungry for me again? Eenope. AC-130 missles? Negatory. What else... I can't recall much, but this thing is entertaining.:applejack:
