Rare I get taken down by dedicated knifers, I'm going more for stealth builds these days, and if they can't see you on scanner, you tend to be just run past and you plug them in the back with a silenced weapon of some nature.

Can't believe how many claymore kills you get due to all the running around. You can see them from miles away of you're vaguely cautious.

If you play this in a "realistic" way you get way more kills anyway. I haven't seen any poor behavior at all - try Halo and see how bad it gets there. Cheers for the .50 cal advice about shooting through walls - I'll be trying that later.

Anyone had a game with infinite ammo on? Not much fun really.

Interesting one this. Apparently it's a savegame hack of some sort that enables it, and once you've played in a game where someone has hacked it on, it moves with you to any more games you play.

Thats going to be a bitch to patch out.

Easy text edit at that, no clever hex editors like the "good old days"
Infi ammo would just lead to me spamming AUG rounds, so I've resisited the temptation.

Standard behaviour seems to be constant grenade launchers > nuke.

Glad to see the 1887's being corrected. The infinite ammo thing hasnt affected hardcore much (yet).

Not played for a few days but one of the guys at work said it was almost unplayable last night for all the cheating.

Finished the single player now (Normal difficulty). Odd game. Certain parts I loved, others I hated with a passion.

Might have been more fun all the way through if the plot hadn't been total bollocks as well. ;)

Should really do some of the spec ops at some point.

Playing the PC version and I've not had too much trouble with cheaters, although I've had a couple of abusive usually racist idiots on voice, but they're easily muted.

There seems to be a load of players who accuse anyone better than them that they are cheating. No, you didn't kill me because you can't aim for shit, not because I'm cheating.

And, I really don't get why people moan about campers - the game gives you a kill-cam, a map and grenades - if you keep getting killed by a guy crouched in a corner, then really you should just give up.

That's not camping is it? Camping is sitting on known spawn points or in blind spots waiting for easy, uncontestable kills.

People on BF do this- knifing people in the few moments of helplessness as they respawn. If you* do that sort of thing you are at fault, not the players you are farming. If you can't admit you need to take the competitive element out of a game to win, you'll never develop any actual ability and you should stick to solitaire. Or masturbation.

As for the cheating. I imagine its because there is so much actual cheating taking place in the game that someone making a lot of good kills falls under suspicion. Or maybe its just nerdrage.

*As this is bound to be taken out of context- this is a generality, not aimed at Shadowtail.
