    I think I can give you a run for being absolutely terrible. I think I'm level 3 right now, and get absolutely raped for the most part. I'm attributing a part of the problem to having to play with those crappy starter classes and now that I've been able to create a class I hope I will be better.

    I think the game is a lot more top heavy than part 1 was. In the first game, you got some pretty potent weapons early on (M16 with red dot was a killer) and I was constantly the #1 or #2 guy on each game. MW2 has newbified me to no end... I dont see light at the end of the tunnel either lol

    Join the club - I'm like at .68 or something atrocious like that. If it weren't for my girl - I'd be at .88. She's really good. I've had a few friends over to try the game out under my gamertag so it's a bit skewed in both directions. :lol:

    Play FFA if you are struggling. I did and have been getting consistently better with my aiming as well as quickness. Also go for the challenges to gain XP as quick as you can so you can get must have perks like Bling and Ninja.

    In some maps - like the rest of you - i get totally raped. The weapons are way out of balance and getting killed with shotguns from 20+ feet away is really annoying.

    What kills me is that you don't have to option to party up with people close to your level. I'm constantly playing against level 30-40 they just run up and kill me before I can do anything. That is the one thing I liked about halo, skill matching.

    Headquarters on Terminal is officially the lamest thing ever.

    Edit - and include Fevela on that list as well. Getting randomly killed from some random camper on some random rooftop 40 times a game is so fun!

    My thoughts.
    Had gamefly send me this game and played through the campaign on Sat. Horrible job by the writers of this game, just horrible IMO. Not only do you run through an airport killing civilians you also spend the end of the game killing lots of servicemen who are defending their superiors who they dont know has gone bad. So to get to him you kill a lot of innocent army guys. Great.

    And then there is the utter absurdity of the entire thing. The Russians invade the US? And we have no idea they were coming because they cloned a transponder that made their planes look like ours? Really? They fly across the ocean with enough troop transports to carry a full scale invasion force and we dont pay any attention to it because the dots are tagged as friendly?

    "Oh look at that, our entire air force just took off from Russia..... Looks like over a thousand planes. I didnt realize all our cargo planes were stationed there..... And they have a massive fighter escort. We have no war games planed for today but its probably not a big deal. We will just ignore what looks like a MASSIVE invasion force because their transponders are friendly."

    Yeah. Really? I have no problem with a campign being dark. IMO there are not nearly enough dark games or movies out there.... I do have a problem with stupid though, and this story line was epic stupid for me.

    fixed it for you. This game stresses teamwork a lot more than other shooters IMO, so if you're not communicating it's going to be a lot less fun since you will be the guy everyone is gunning down

    EDIT: I just remembered another lamest moment in gaming history I got in this game. Me and a buddy partied up and were looking for a domintation match. We get put into a game that has the Nuke countdown going. That's right, puts us in the game right as the countdown hits zero, don't even get to move, select a class, or anything. nuke goes off, we both finish the game with no kills and 1 death and a loss. Thanks Infinity Ward!

    i disagree. I think the game did it's purpose in putting you in the seat of an action movie. And like all action movies, the "Bad guy" is simply a matter of perspective.

    I thought they kept the action coming fast and never let up. As far as the final stages, if you're looking that deep into it, then go for operation flashpoint. It's much more realistic and a thousand times less interesting.

    So, I have a little game I play with a buddy of mine called, "whose Xbox?" Basically, It's my Xbox and his COD:MW2 game. I came home the other day to find my XBox missing and a a note that reads: Whose Xbox? COD is great BTW...

    So immediately I knew that he broke into my place, took my xbox and is playing a game he bought. So, a few days ago, I caught a break, he was out of town, so I returned the favor and took his game as well. The return note said: Agreed, COD is awesome...almost as neat as doggy doors positioned underneath a deadbolt (which is how I got in).

    So that has triggered a back and forth break in fest where we are taking stupid crap from each other's houses. It is going to end in one of three ways. Either we get bored with it...one of our neighbor's calls the cops on us for burglary...or I finally plant a claymore directly in front of my door and "win."

    Speaking of claymores...has anyone played the special ops level where there are three houses with computers that you have to download? It is in suburbia and I can't beat it for the life of me.

    The strategy I have been using is to enter the house on the left first, clear it of all enemies, plant claymores at every entrance point and the walkways, and try to defend from upstairs when the next wave of peeps come in. However, I cant seem to stay alive long enough to get one download complete, let alone the entire level.

    Any tips? I tried playing with a buddy of mine who is pretty good at thisstuff and we kept just dieing.

    That was a tough one. The key is good placement of your turrets. The 3rd house is the tough one. If you keep the turret from house 2 you should have 3 total turrets in house 3. One turret should point down the alley in the back left of the house (sorry about the bad directions). The 2nd should point towards the computer in the room where it is. The 3rd could point down one of the entrances to that back room where the computer is. Good luck. I stayed on my belly behind the bar the whole time.

    Am I going the wrong way to start then? I start off at the first house to the left and no turrets are there. I have two sets of claymores that I put just about everywhere (mainly because I like to hear him say, "planting claymores"). I tried once to try the house on the right to start and noticed a sentry gun in there, but shortly after got blown to hell and a handbasket.

    I also tried lazering the house from the outside after starting the download butall that got me was a skull full of bullets.

    also, snowmobile racing is too much fun...as well as the helicopter gunner level in night vision....ka booooooooom

    I go left, right close, then right far. I missed that vital piece of info... KEEP LASING the house you're in. After a few seconds the dumb thing stops shooting. Keep going back and lasing any wall in the house so the Armored vehicle can at least cover the front door

    Maybe thats my problem, brainless action movies with incoherent storylines bore me to tears.

    At least those movies usually have a token hot chick.

    I thought the game was epic. I played through it once on 360
    and again on the PS3 (less than a week later) and enjoyed both play throughs equally. And this is coming from me... I have some SERIOUS video game ADD.

    My k/d ratio is reaching epic levels of suckiness. Sure - I'll get the occasional 15/8. But then follow it with 3 straight 6/17's.FML

    My official k/d ratio as of bed time last night was .58

    Blade, however, has a ridiculous k/d ratio of 2.29

    I did have a 12/4 and an 11/6 game.... My two best. Maybe I am getting better. I'm also picking up that shooting while moving = bad.

    if you want to run and shoot you really need to use an smg. if you like to sulk about the map use an assault rifle. if you like to stay back and shoot then use the sniper. you're k/d should improve when you find the perfect gun for your playstyles. I use mainly the M4 for smaller maps where I'll be moving around a bit more, then switch to a LMG on slightly larger maps, and the big ones (derail and wasteland) I'll use a bit of everything based on what the team is doing.

    My main problem is that I always get killed by people that I don't even see, either they sneak up on me or are camping in an area I didn't even see them in.
    I actually finished top on my team the other night on Wasteland hardcore HQ. My final totally was 6/2 as every single player on the map got a sniper rifle and camped in the grass. After getting killed twice with my assault rifle actually trying to capture the HQ I just joined the campfest and was "lucky" enough to see more enemies than others. The next map was Karachi and everyone did the exact same thing again, got sniper rifles then camped inside the building. I left the server then.
    I don't mind tactical games, I actually prefer them but when no one is even attempting to capture the objective, what is the point?

    Maybe it's me but some of these kids who i refer to as the peachfuzzers - are exceptionally quick and have deadly aim. I'll try using your advice Ultra. At the rate I'm going now, I should prestige about the same time Chad Henne retires.:lol:

    I was talking about that with my roommate who is actually pretty good at COD. I was saying how I hate playing little kids because they are so annoying, and he was like just beat them, they are really easy. And my response was I can't...:no:

    They are not easy at all in most cases and they talk CONSTANTLY. Unless I'm playing with friends - I don't wear a headset. I mainly play FFA so its not like it really matters.

    I am getting better... Had a few 16/8-10 games and had a 20/4 game (the highlight of my career (with a 15 kill streak). So I guess either A) Practice does make perfect or B) I played againstr crappy players today.

    I've pretty much got this game down packed now. It's all about learning the maps. I used to suck at Favela, now I realize the way to win is to jump through windows and rooftops and knife campers while using akimbo shottys. I'm great at FFA and getting good at TDM. Tar-21 with Heartbeat Sensor and ACOG is ****ing great. Not to mention barrett + ACOG. Hell anything with ACOG just owns.

    Holographic has slightly better aim and the dot locks on to the target easier. Plus the dot doesn't sway like the RDS. However the dot is also a little bigger and gets in the way at longer distances. I can't use either for the life of me, am much better with just the iron sights.

    just a heads up on some cheats going on right now.

    1) people are 'joining in progress' hoping to get on the other team of their friend. Since you can be in 'private chat' they meet at a location over and over until one of them gets the nuke.

    2) people found a glitch with the Javelin that Infinity Ward said will be patched in the first update. Basically you can cook a frag, but before it explodes you then switch to the Javelin. This glitches the game somehow and when you die the Javelin instantly explodes on your location killing any enemies in the kill area. Happened to me last night in a domination game, very annoying when the other team just suicide runs into a territory killing all the defenders instantly.
