Ever since I've started using the sniper rifle with thermal scope I haven't been able to pick up an assault rifle. My addiction is so bad that when I run out of bullets I rather die than pick up another gun. The sad reality is I'm not very good at sniping. It often takes me 2-4 shots to pick a guy off and a lot of the time I will miss and he'll kill me before I can shoot again. I think my ratio with the sniper is 1:2 whereas my assault rifles are 2:1 sometimes 3:1.

I'm the same way. One some levels I don't bother with the sniper rifle, but when I can I choose sniper. So much fun.

Play hardcore, and the sniper rifle is a lot more fun. One shot and goodnight.

The sucky thing about the sniper rifles is the fact you HAVE to use stopping power. That way my Barret is almost always a 1 hit kill. It sucks because it would be so much more effective to use "cold-blooded" because then you'd virtually be invisible. But alas, the Snipers are totally underpowered so I need Stopping Power.

If every sniper could use cold-blooded the sniper class would be way too powerful. Impossible to see due to camouflage and one hit kill. It'll become awp whoring like cs... but this time invisible also

I think my best ever was 28-3.

On another note. I may have to take a break as I got the 3 flashing red lights of death last night. Luckily enough a restart fixed it but from my experience of 3 xbox's before this one... it's going to die soon. I can't believe they haven't solved this problem yet.

I normally struggle getting kill streaks above 5, but I went 49-9 once in terminal/domination. I used a M16 with noobtubes with One Man Army Pro and Danger Close Pro and spammed the noobtubes/claymores (shoot deploy, change back to the same class to resupply). Got a Harrier and Chopper Gunner to help on in the carnage. I think I ended on a 20 kill streak, but the game ended before my chopper attack finished.

I have the exact same class, but I don't use it quite that way. I start off with it and then run to a point where the other team usually storms at the start and bomb the hell out of them. Then I switch to my regular class (assault rifle, shot gun, scavenger, stopping power, claymores) and go from there.

I only use it that way in terminal (The level sort of funnels everyone into certain areas so it's easier to bomb people. When I spam the noobtubes in other levels (where it's more open) I get rushed and die a lot more.

Ive had a few good matches that I can remember. I went 25-0 one time on Underpass and my other good game that I remember I went 69-6 on Rundown. My best killstreak is 31.

Anybody else getting annoyed at all the people doing the airpackage glitch?

No, I was so fed up with the amount of a-holes on CoD, that I started doing it. Then after the game I here them all bitch. I love it.

But I am pretty sure the last patch removed the feature which was 200% faster run speed with canister.

I don't think so. I played a game of Sabotage (got conned into it by a friend...it sucks) and the other team had constant air packages. Twas a gigantic piss off.

The patch hasn't rolled out on XBL yet, if that's the case. I'm actually getting quite annoyed with it, because every game I play its just a barrage of air support from care package and emergency airdrop glitchers.

I played a couple games today where a couple people were trying to cheat their way to kill streaks, using tactical insertions. In the first one I was killed by one of them from a predator missile and watching the kill cam i found out where they were and headed to it. Killed them twice before they moved to another location. I then once again found where they were by luck and killed the guy twice forcing them to finally quit the game.

Then a couple games later found 2 other players doing the same thing. But this time they tried to move away to another location, but I decided to follow my teammate and they also ended up quitting.

Both were while playing domination. I don't' really understand how people can have fun boosting their stats this way, there's no challenge to it and it's got to get boring sitting in one spot and killing each other.

I just experience my first glitch today playing scrapyard. THere were constant harriers, ac130's, chopper gunners... anything it was ridiculous. I made it over to their end and I saw about 40 crates. Jacked about 3-4 before dying and never made it to their zone after wards. It was so ridiculous it was actually funny haha. My K ratio is already down the drain so I could careless.

It was more directed at everyone in the thread. I've never used it, but my buddy was telling me about it, he said if you try to pick up a gun while throwing the care package it will just keep dropping. At least thats what he said.

Shows you the tutorial to do the glitch. Incredibly cheap but it's pretty damn funny when you see 30 packages falling from the sky
