Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II

and why does he say i hate this game ,then say he has to play it.

It's just that with One Man Army on you can keep swapping classes and get a reload on your grenades/claymores. I don't see what he's making such a fuss about. that doesn't give you much more of an advantage than you get already with scavenger really unless you're planning on just camping and launching grenades from the one spot all the time.

quite , had a look at the load out last night before bed and died a fuck load more than using my regular kit. (Could be more likely because I had just unlocked the AK47 and was running around like a child on sugar )

I'm surprised he isn't more bothered by scavenger and the fact on team games some numbskull like me can have a dozen claymores rammed everywere within five minutes.

I didn't really see that danger close had a game breaking result with the noob tube either.

Is this the xbox or PC version this dweeb is foaming about ?

Err, not any more. Thought that got patched in the update? Certainly when I was playing with scavenger on the other night when you dropped a new (only the third i think) the oldest claymore you'd planted expired.

[Terrypantsman]

mm, didn't notice that , you could be right Rik, in the heat of the game I may not of noticed having more than 3 if they are going off as well as disappearing, I will have a play on this latter.

Pretty sure you've never been able to have more than 2 or possibly 3 claymores in action.

Yeah you could. With scavenger on a busy map you could just run around picking them up and dumping them all over the place. I used to do that all the time, it was ace.

[Terrypantsman]

defiantly at least 3,

I'm positive I've planted more in a row but I'm now wondering how many are going off at one end as I'm planting down the other or they expiring as Rik says.


Interesting.

[RiK]

Yep, I've just tried it again. When you plant a third claymore the first one you planted disappears so apparently now you can only plant a maximum of 2 at a time.

Arse.

Well there goes my kill streak then!

[Terrypantsman]

Yep I've just done the same scientific experiment in a Ground war Game on Subbase :

planting claymores in a row , every time you place the 3rd the first explodes. Tried it three times in various locations.

Big buggery fuck sticks. tis all for the greater good I suppose.


got some pretty strange looks from my teams mates.

Bit late in making general comments here but I finally got on this train on Christmas Day. And off it again same day, yes it was kind of short...
It was funny talking to Soap in the third person for a while, I kind of got the warm and fuzzies being led by my character from the previous one the first time. It's like "I know he's awesome cos he's ME"
The airport scene provoked a reaction of: meh. I think I've desensitised from causing carnage to masses of innocent people in real life GTA, Carmageddon and the like. It was gratuitous and pointless (I couldn't think of any logical reason why he wouldn't just shoot Makarov there and then for example) but the content itself didn't particularly bother me. If only it served a more solid purpose.

Loving the multiplayer. I've been using the 'strategy' of "charge around like an idiot"* quite well so far for winning games - never had much luck with anything more sneaky as people just find and stab you all the time. Sticking to deathmatch mode though - I don't feel like being yelled at for not being elite and awesome enough for the team in the other modes. People take it "2 srsly".

Actually the first thing I do in any game is find the ones with speakers by their name and hit the mute button. Prior to that habit, nobody had ever said anything worth hearing, and it makes the game so much more enjoyable.

Also, fuck claymores. I'm always falling for those.

* Yes I know some people find the ones who run around annoying and I'm probably about to get chewed out. FWIW, I don't jump, that's taking it too far. But I don't like it that much when nothing is happening because everyone's lurking in the shadows. Someone has to be the idiot running around in the open!

In your system settings theres a 'only hear from people on your friends list' setting.

Ah excellent, thanks for that. I'd looked for such a setting before but obviously not very well!

[BrianTheNaughtyBoy]

Microsoft decided to hide it deep in the Privacy settings for no apparent reason. The fact that you need to exit to the dashboard to change it is also very annoying

First definitely explodes on planting a third. Consider it a C4 lite.

Level 67 and considering a prestige having sworn I wouldn't.

87 Akimbo FMJ was briefly amusing, but not much fun.

I'm at 62 at the mo and don't think I'll be prestige-ing MW2. I did a couple of times on CoD4 and once on CoD5 but I just can't see me grinding my way back up through the levels again on this one. I'm more likely to just start playing around with different weapons setups instead.
