Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II

I think this is a good plan - if there's one thing that makes this sing in team play it's communication - usually everyone plays it a bit like the single-player ie. a lone wolf with other soldiers 'meating' the game... But an organised team sounds good. It's how me and mine attempt to play it, anyway. I'm up for Thursday.

well, thats 2 then. lets make it Thurs. I think its 8 for a team isn't it? If Headphlegm get him to drop me an line on the box.

Thursday from 8.15?

[benedictw]

Definately up for that. We could do with setting up varied loadouts beforehand.

cool - lots of chat and ale on the night I foresee!

Interesting idea. Count me in.

Except my orders will probably be along the lines of "Creep around there trying to spot the enemy and then get knifed from behind by someone you never saw or heard"

thats the potential beauty of this - utter chaos when some lead and we are all under orders to "obey" and perhaps smooth runnings at other times - it'll certainly make for some fun moments as we try to carry out various "strategies"!

[louiecat]

as a way of getting minds thinking here are some suggestions for "strategies" -

partners - head and arse - move around the map in twos one covering behind and one in front.

"sitting duck" - volunteer as bait, team form a hidden circle around easily seen squady/squaddies.

"the mower" - move forwards across the map as a hard line with 10 ft or so between all armed with high ammo LMGs or with blast shields.

flanken!! - partners or threes use radar in flanking attempts.

"wait for vengeance" - as each member makes a kill, they camp at the site of the kill. Killees viewing killcam often return near to the site of their demise to seek justice.

Sounds terrific I'm in.

I like the idea of pairing off, to pepper pot and watch each others backs.

I'm a mid to long range range assault rifle bunny myself so happy to act as support for snipers and heavy machine gunners. Certainly not good enough to be a quick draw forward assault tank.


louie are you on my friends list ? already whats your gamer tag?

We could do with using some real world tactics - e.g. flash and clear. (2 people entering the room, both throw flashes or stuns in at different angles then charge though and remove enemies).

Pairing up is fairly mandatory. I've experimented with using a riot shield as a shield on my back - did kinda work but not as much as I had hoped.

I'm a LMG nut. I may have FMJ unlocked by then so I can get some nice penetration kills.

You might want a sniper - watcher(assault rifle+heartbeat sensor+silencer) pair. If both had (say) claymores then that would double up any protection. Watcher takes out any pesky people coming up the stairs. If the sniper has no silencer then the sniper would act as bait. The watcher shouldn't stand out (well, until they kill someone) but if the peep just clicks past the respawn then it might go unmissed.

For a standard pair I think I would want a assault rifle OR smg+rocket launcher and a LMG and rocket launcher. (For those pesky aircraft).

In an ideal world the sniper\watcher would have 'heavier' deathstreaks and the standard pair would have lighter deathstreaks. If the sniper can get enough kills then bringing in a controlled helicopter or c130 would win the match.

edit: The priority should be survival not killing - if they can't kill us then they get no score and it deprives them of killstreaks.

you're right - never thought about that before. Of course, in the real world strategy would always lean towards as little contact as possible to get the mission accomplished.

Those heartbeat sensors are great, but I haven't unlocked one yet. I love the the vector and the FAMAS in combination with using corners and moving quickly to the next static position. I am CRAP at firing from the hip, and I love using the L86 LMG with the holograph sight.

Can't wait for thurs now. Trying to work as a team takes the sting out of being killed too.

Headphleym's up for it. He's a rather demon sniper...

[louiecat]
