Probably worth doing once as you get an additional set of prestige challenges, which I think carry over for each prestige run. I.e., get 1000 kills with gun X.

I'm on 70 now, just going to play with AK a bit and go for it. Have to get the equiv of a rank up again to open it up.

It'll force me to use sub optimal kit for a while and try more basic loadouts.

May just have a check if I'm just shy of any challenges that give amusing titles etc.

Yes I hope the extra challenges speed the levelling up a bit.

pressed the button yesterday, Not sure it means as much as COD4 , with so many little shits nuke boosting, free for all is unplayable at prime kid play time, real shame as it fucks the whole system.

Its a fucking long way to LVL 31.

1. I miss ninja perk BIG TIME

2. I miss claymores to watch my back.

3. I want my M16 now.

4.I want my Raffica, all other pistols are slow inaccurate shit.

However I have discovered the Scar-H , its a fucking Beast, inelegant certainly and not a surgeons weapon but it could stop a elephant.

Isn't the FAMAS pretty much the same gun? Can't get on with the burst rifles in this, despite using the M16 almost exclusively in COD4. Could do with Bling pronto, as I have to play with silencer, and struggling a little with the iron sights.

Can someone recommend an LMG class? And/or an SMG class, though i'm pretty shit at the running round like a loon approach.

Also, anyone noticed people running around knifing with a care package marker in hand? They seem to go at a ridiculous pace. Must be another glitch.

I love the AUG w/ grip & Javelin. Scavanger perk. The clip just goes on forever. Favorite tactic is to start firing before I round a corner that I know others are hiding around. Tends to panic many and definately suprises most when I come around still comfortably unloading. The Javelin is for taking out air support and groups of campers (the most I have taken out with it is 4 with one shot) I have the extra explosive damage perk to help!

It's a stupid glitch because the game bases your weight/running speed on what you're carrying in your hand, regardless of the fact your other weapon(s) would still be on your back and included in your total weight. So what you have now is people going for the lightest possible weapons with lightweight, marathon and commando on then getting the earliest possible killstreak and legging it around like Speedy Gonzales on PCP.

Yup, I'm liking Danger Close a lot at the mo, especially with scavenger on so you can pick up extra grenades/claymores as you go.

I cannot stand the FAMAS at all don't get on with it not as much damage so I pull the trigger more making me less accurate, and I find it does not have the dropping / stopping power of the M16. 2 bursts on the M16 or 1 if its high torso drops the buggers hard I find. + I like the range it gives me with ACOG, its great for sniping.

But then I am a mid to long distance play man who likes to use iron sights mainly saving bling slots for grenade launcher (Hate the phrase noob tube) and silencer if free for all, and other load outs for team games. other than that I prefer scavenger perk really.

silencer is a must on FFA I find, and I like the pfft pfft pfft sound too :D

current load out is the scar H with silencer it has excellent iron sights this and the ACR are the clearest IMO , + scavenger pro which makes up for the small clip within the first minutes of play.

Anyway unlocked ninja last night so almost back to normal just got to get claymores to be happy again.

Latest patch has stopped the care package knifers and nerfed Akimbo 87s with fmj - same range/damage as non fmj - ie not a cone of death any more.

Looking forward to playing a bit tonight watching the cpm knifers wondering why they're getting shot more often.

I too want to get my claymore and ninja back, but it shouldn't take long hopefully.

Were there any glitches or exploits in the previous game, I don't remember anything like this happening. Maybe I was just lucky. :?

Might venture back and see if anyone is still playing. Think I only got up to level 7 prestige or something.
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

I think most of the patches were minor, I think they made the Sniper rifles easier to use in he beginning, that's all I can think of.

There was still a lot of bitching mind, anti martydom and p90 I remember being popular.


As was the Ak47 and double tap , but I don't think 4 had any game breaking flaws like 2 seems to have.

Also a lot less kids seemed to play 4 compared to 2 so maybe the exploits are just hi-lighted faster.

I think it's inevitable the more trinkets you add to a game the harder it becomes to balance them.

When I first hit the prestige button a fortnight ago, I found that the thing I missed most of all, that I really, REALLY missed, was the Stinger.

Other stuff (ACR, M21 EBR, cold-blooded pro etc) was a bit frustrating at times, but nowhere near as bad as not being able to shoot stuff down. I was amazed how many people were content to leave Harriers hovering, scoring free kills.

First time to 70 I tried out most of the guns, perks and toys. This time around I have concentrated almost exclusively on the gear I found really worked (SCAR until the ACR is unlocked, UMP as my only SMG, just unlocked the W2000 and slowly building up the kills to get the add-ons I want). Don't ask what the best LMG setup is - I could never find one. I'd rather be fast, stealthy or accurate (esp. as I've got into the routine of changing mags after every 15-20 rounds).

Though I've been without MW2 for a week now, thanks to my second 360 suffering a RROD (the only upside being that I *might* get an HDMI-port if they have replaced my console).
