Never got the nuke. Not really worried about getting the nuke. Never had the nuke used against me or one of my teammates using it.

This game isn't nearly as addictive as the first one was one. I was still playing MW1 after 2 years, I can't even stand playing MW2 anymore.

I guess with the 5 helicopters/pavelows/harriers, 18 missiles, 2 turrets, thermal sniping, heartbeat sensor, glitching 13 year olds, it just gets old fast.

Honestly, this game is more broken than Michael Jackson's nose was.

Lol... nice finish to the rant!!!!

I had 2 games out of 5 that where air drop glitched yesterday, like how is that fun? The people that do it or so awesome that they leave the lobby the second the game is over... that way they don't have to hear what they already know.

Looks like the patch for the care package glitch finally got pushed through today, at least.

I've got the nuke once, but only after newb-toobing.

I catch a lot of flak for doing it, but sometimes I just get so fed up with the campers that I have to do it myself.

When playing high-rise on demolition, come out of the building and head straight for the roof on that little building, half-way to the other side. (It's the one with the big tank on it).

Shoot a newb-tube towards the enemy coming out of the window and quickly shoot the tank to explode it. Run up the ladder, place a claymore at top of ladder and lay down. Using One Man Army, reload your same class. This will now give you a second claymore and reload your newb-tube supplies. Put the second claymore at the top of the ladder, just a foot or so back from your other one.

Now, using the extra explosive damage perk, sit up there (using the exploded tank as cover) and quickly aim and fire the tubes at enemies. lay down on the middle of the roof, right next to the exploded tank and reload your tubes. Repeat Ad nauseam. People will start to get wise and try and bomb their own newb-tube or grenade up there, but you should be 95% covered most of the time. When they climb the ladder, they'll hit the claymores. I get AT LEAST 15 straight kills every time. Usually, get it up around 20, especially with the 5-9-11 kill streaks (predator, harriers, pavelow)

Cheap as crap, I know. But damn it's fun to do every now and again.

I'm exactly what's wrong with this game.

Man, I'm getting really tired of finding nuke boosters in every other FFA game I join. It was fun hunting and terrorizing them the first few times but now it's just old.

FFA might as well be called "find the boosters before they get to 25 kills."

Keep a class with the sitrep perk on. They're probably using tactical insertion, in which case you can just find the spawn site and just camp it and kill them both.

Don't know if it's my age: 36, but I just can't seem to play run and gun.
I find if you play a style that suits you I can do well, it's when I try and play a different way i get owned sometimes.
So I guess that's why I camp, but then I don't consider sniping camping, I think it's a different pursuit. Because it takes some effort to find somewhere with sightlines and get kills without being discovered. Because if I am I'll probably end up on the losing side if someone comes after me. It's not like I wait in corredors with an M4.
I've only just experienced the air lift glitch, didn't even realize it was one to start. Thoguht it was just some fluke or something.
Oh and my x box E 7'd last night which is like the red ring of death. First time

I can run and gun but Camping and sniping are different. Camping in a dark corner or on stairs with an assault rifle waiting for one person to run by pisses me off.

Taking 2 minuets to get into a spot with a rifle to snipe and not get spotted takes some skill.

Jesus Christ, me and my buddy are trying to finish Spec Ops but it lags like a beast. There is bloody 2 of us and it freezes every .5 seconds for about 1 second. This game is brutal online with the lag.

With that said, we somehow did Wardriving (Veteran) with the lag on our 1st try, haha. I have done it about 100 times and I always failed, but somehow we did it.

Wetwork we still failed. It said we killed a hostage at the last breach which was BS because we didn't, and it is too annoying to beat the entire thing with the lag (which takes 15 minutes) only to fail because a bullet goes through 2 enemies + a hostage.

We're you playing today? I find weekends brutal for lag when playing spec ops. Probably just a lot of people online. When I play on weekdays its fine.

Not surprised at all; the guy has not exactly been shy about his MO.

Anyway, I saw this earlier today and I can't say that I disagree...

In response DICE/EA are releasing 2 maps for free on the same day for Battlefield.

As well, someone (I don't have the link at the moment) found that some of the maps were already on the disc. In the screen I saw he showed that Crash was already on the disc. In response IW/Activision banned the guy's xbox and live account.

Also, to compare, when Gears of War 2 released its $15 map pack it included 7 maps and a single player mission.

15 bucks for 5 maps? Christ...I dunno if I could handle spending more money on what was a 70 dollar game. I've got better things to do with my cash.

*BUMP*
Not sure to make a new thread or not

New Call of Duty Announcement with video teaser releasing tonight

Call of Duty: Black Ops
http://ca.kotaku.com/5528033/new-tre...yline=true&s=i

It's by Treyarch, so I hope they put some innovation into it from their previous work on World at War

Quote:
In their press release Activision calls the game, the follow-up to the biggest entertainment launch in history, which can only be Modern Warfare 2. The release says that the game will "introduce fans to the elite world of Black Ops" as the Treyarch-developed game "takes players behind enemy lines in an entirely new chapter in the groundbreaking and record-setting, No. 1 first-person action series of all-time."

I sprung the $15 for the map pack and was quite happy with the 5 maps, would have been nice to spend less but whatever still wasn't disappointed

When will the map pack come out for PS3 users?

I had my xbox and it was nice when they came out you could get it pretty quick. I saw a video on Youtube about em and they remind me a lot of MW1 maps.

Didn't Microsoft say the first 2 map packs are exclusive to the 360, then the additional ones would be multiplatform? That's what I heard from E3, maybe they meant time exclusive. If that is what they meant, I'd guess sometime in June/July.
