Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II

[Ratsoap]

It is possible to shoot down harriers etc with an LMG, Just quite hard.

If you want a good LMG experience go for RPD with Grip and FMJ. Add cold blooded and a stinger or javelin and you become an anti aircraft machine.

Anyone got any tips for Search and Destory, or any other game modes that aren't team deathmatch? Started playing some S&D, but it seems like I have to learn the whole thing again....

So what do you play, why, and how?

[Flabio]

I play the Ground War playlist most of the time. I like the bigger teams, and it mixes between Domination and Team DM which are my favourite two game modes.

Much as I used to always play TDM in previous versions I've ended up playing loads more free-for-all in MW2, primarily because of my stupid colour vision an Infinity Ward's insistence on identifying teams with red/green.

Why the hell couldn't they just put an option in for an alternate colour choice such as the one Treyarch did for CoD5?

That must be very annoying. But, I believe that the enemy names don't appear when you're not targeting them, or at least take longer to appear. I remember in COD4 there was a sudden realisation of how you spot the enemy (the ones without the name tags) and (for me) it had nothing to do with colour.

Whilst that's true, it's not as simple as that because the colours are also used on stuff like the heartbeat sensors/radar etc. In a game you're taking in info from a variety of sources and when it's all kicking off anything which causes even the tiniest delay can give the opposition a distinct advantage.

[RiK]

It's just bloody annoying because in CoD5 Treyarch nailed it by providing an alternate colour option. Can't for the life of me understand why IW didn't follow suite.

[BrianTheNaughtyBoy]

yes seems like an error. If in doubt, shoot, I suppose

[BrianTheNaughtyBoy]

I wish they'd hurry up with some new maps. 4 new maps would really make things interesting. If they added some old ones too I'd blow my load.

[Terrypantsman]

Free for all , I have this crazy notion that one day I'll get the perfect game, came close with a 30 / 1 win once.

I do Like TDM with people I can trust (Yakers on Thursdays are good). It would be good as mentioned on here to get some larger groups involved on the team games. Strategy's that work usually involve lots of talking swearing and coming to the conclusion that basically following Ratsoap seems to work.


Search and destroy and team hardcore, I am all for, much slower much more tactical, they make the games good bits shine.

I dunno about hardcore. I remember quite liking it on COD4 but I played it the other day and I'm just not sure it works. Actually, I think it may have been because I was using a silencer and realised there was no point. Maybe I just need a hardcore class.

So come on, how do you bloody play search and destroy? I seem to get tonked whenever I get near to the targets by some camper (which is clearly a sensible way to play though!).

[Portland]

S&D I always go Silencer, Ninja, Cold Blooded and use claymore rather than frags.

Talk to the team and decide if you're going to rush one site or try and stalk around for a bit and try to thin out the opposition before going for a site. Don't forget to protect the bomb after you drop it. Also a good idea to work out where the defenders are likely to be.

Hm, unlocked the '30 Something' title after playing for the first time after my 30th birthday. Is that a coincidence?

Edit: Yes
