where you ppl @??

for anyone who is interested, something i was playing around with today: http://lionhart.us/kd.html

7/31/2010 9:32:22 PM

what is the best SSDD/Pit run time you guys achieved? Mine is 27.1 sec so far with a USP.45 as primary and M9 as secondary.

8/1/2010 5:55:20 PM

Haven't tried it since the first week or two I had the game...I should try again though since I'm a little more used to the controls...I agree USP and M9 are the guns to use

8/1/2010 6:01:02 PM

Yeah, I kept getting ~30 second times but noticed aiming/sprinting was quicker with pistols... Iron sights aren't bad at all (just like in real life, focus on the front sight and you'll do fine).

8/1/2010 7:24:07 PM

haven't done it in a while but just got 31 seconds after 4-5 tries.

edit: 29.5

Finally got the 10th nuke tonight. Played for several hours Friday night, finally earned one at like 1AM, but the dickhead host turned his xbox off as I was calling it in and I didn't get credit as the match timed out.

So then I played 3 matches today and called one in. Now I can stop being obsessed with nukes, prestige again and just drop plates on fools. word up.

8/1/2010 9:18:11 PM

nice

any late nighters tonight?

8/2/2010 12:14:18 AM

wtf is going on here, no posts in over 36 hours? unacceptable.

8/3/2010 4:18:49 PM

haha seriously.

I had a pretty good run last night. I've been trying to use weapons I generally shy away from. I've never been a big sniper guy, but last night I got a lot of kills with the barrett. I still won't say i prefer sniping to running and gunning, but on certain maps, it's definitely easier to rack up kills that way.

8/3/2010 4:22:51 PM

i'm online. you people aren't. fix it. this is like drinking alone... only bad things can happen.

8/3/2010 7:19:51 PM

ill get back on when i see 3 < x < 6 where x = no. of ppl playing

8/3/2010 7:42:08 PM

i'm about to mount

i have a weird feeling we're gonna get Skid Row like 20% of the time

8/3/2010 7:51:46 PM

reckon i can mount too i reckon

8/3/2010 7:52:15 PM

I just finished playing.

Last three matches were 28-6, 18-3, 24-4. I am getting decent at varying my gear based on map.

8/4/2010 3:02:02 AM

i'm out of town for a couple of weeks...hold down the fort!

8/4/2010 5:34:25 AM

I really hate the M4...but I've invested so much effort into it this prestige my brain won't be happy unless I finish. 25 more FMJ kills....fml!

8/4/2010 9:00:03 AM

M4 with red dot is beast man...

i don't know what you're smoking...

8/4/2010 9:22:46 AM

yeah seriously. In my mw2 career, most of my seriou rapings were done when I used M4. I use the holo sight though

8/4/2010 9:27:36 AM

Personal preference I suppose. I'm a SCAR man.

I've been using the holo on the M4...maybe I'll switch to red-dot and see if I like it better.

8/4/2010 9:33:31 AM

the SCAR would be 10x better with 2x the bullets-per-clip

8/4/2010 9:40:44 AM

yes, that's the only downside of the SCAR.


There have been countless times where I come across multiple enemies, and kill one, maybe two, and then run out of ammo and get killed when it auto-reloads.

But otherwise, the SCAR silenced is my favorite weapon in the game.

8/4/2010 9:43:53 AM

^^yeah, i wish. I think they had to make the clip so small in order to make it balanced. It would be pretty unstoppable and damn near unfair if it had clip similar to a M4 or M16.

8/4/2010 9:50:42 AM

I need to stop drinking makers mark when I play this game.

8/4/2010 10:06:57 AM

I think TDM express just has better players than MTDM.

I kick much more ass when I play mercenary, and then whenever I join up with y'all on express I get my shit fucked up.

except on bailout. I rarely ever get less than 1:1 on that map

[Edited on August 4, 2010 at 10:12 AM. Reason : .]

8/4/2010 10:12:29 AM

Yeah, bailout isn't bad. You killed me a few times in that map last night.

Salvage on the other hand.............gawd I hate that map.

[Edited on August 4, 2010 at 10:15 AM. Reason : .]

8/4/2010 10:15:32 AM

Salvage I don't mind...its damn Trailer Park that screws me every time.

I ususally just run with scavenger with the SCAR, though I've earned extended mags I've never used them...maybe I'll give them a shot this go around.

And yes...silenced is the way to go.

8/4/2010 10:45:25 AM

ACR is the best gun in the game by far, with the way i play. even without HD, i can see you in the shadows from across the map. ACR with ACOG is a sniper machine gun.


im title hunting right now...using guns i never use to unlock everything and get the title for the specific weapon.
just got 6fears7.
working on "behind enemy lines"
after that, i will make a valiant attempt to get my first nuke. my highest streak right now is 27. i never have nuke equipped.

The new bare bones mode makes it easier. Make sure you're playing that.

8/4/2010 11:53:23 AM

really good idea

8/4/2010 12:00:09 PM

^^^a little advice on getting a nuke, these are the things that worked for me.

utilize OMA and switch to a hardline class when you get close to your killstreaks (e.g. if you're running harriers, switch after 5 kills).

Claymores are crucial and use them gratuitously.

IMO, Chopper gunner >>>>> AC130 for getting nukes.

If you're getting pressured bigtime, don't be afraid to hide and let your active killstreaks to the work.

Make a OMA class with ninja and cold blooded for when you're running your choopper gunner so it's more difficult for the enemy team to find you when you're vulnerable.

Be careful calling in harriers, I've been 7-0 and killed myself with the airstrikes more times than I care to admit.

Domination games are a lot easier b/c they last longer, and in TDM, to get a nuke you have to get 1/3 of your entire teams kills in order to do it. (that being said, most of mine were on TDM)

Open maps like Wasteland are really easy if you can get harriers in and the team doesn't shoot them down right away.

On maps with more cover (Skidrow), I've found sometimes it's easier to use 9, 11, 25 (pavelow, chopper, nuke), b/c the pavelow has such a greater linger time.

Practice getting on top of Highrise, I've called in 4 or 5 from up there. Also, if you can get Domination on Highrise, have your team take A and B, then spawn trap them at C and it's pretty much an automatic nuke if your team doesn't go inside the building and swap the spawns. Claymore the two side window exits (claymore will drop down all the way to the ground from up top) and n00b tube down into the corners. it's almost unfair and a lot of fun.

Afghan is another relatively easy one if you camp up at the top of the ridge (by C), and keep putting claymores at both ingress points. Pop up momentarily to n00b tube down over the map, and be pepared to hold them off coming from the cave side or poppy side, b/c when they do, they usually come in droves and you can mow them down for quick killstreaks. If you get harriers and drop them in a good spot, it's smooth sailing from there b/c the map is so wide open.

Go for it almost all the time. When I set my mind to getting 10 in one prestige, nuke setups were the only thing I used every game. I ended up calling in nukes on maps i never would've thought.

Finally, persevere. I can go 3 or 4 days w/o a nuke, but I've also gotten 2 in-a-row and 3 in one evening before.

Good luck!

My lone nuke was on Salvage playing FFA. I camped up in the 2nd story of the house with n00btube/OMA/DangerClose. I claymored the shit out of the stairs. And had a 9/11/25 killstreak set. I was also blindly firing n00btubes at corners and getting double kills. LOL.

8/4/2010 12:46:01 PM

My lone nuke was on Afghan, MTDM. Running with M16A, bling (holo + fmj), stopping power, and ninja. I ran 7,11,25 killstreaks

Ended up 31-1 after the match


The main thing that helped was the chopper gunner got 13 kills. I was at 24 and had to actually shoot someone for 25, I embedded myself in a corner and waited

8/4/2010 1:22:24 PM

Haha I bet you were about to shit your pants when you were waiting for 25.

8/4/2010 1:24:14 PM

Fuck yes... It was not my first time to 24....

the other 2 times I was at 24 with a nuke equipped - it did not end well, I think I cried

8/4/2010 1:40:38 PM

I remember one fail you had in the embassy on Invasion. I was up there with you.

8/4/2010 1:51:14 PM

I still get all jacked up/nervous when i get to 20+. I've gotten blown up by random n00b tubes and grenades at 24 several times, probably the biggest buzz-kill ever. that's why i started switching back and forth to the hardline class. that 1 kill difference may not seem like much, but it can make all the difference.

8/4/2010 2:19:03 PM

I told you guys about the hardline switch months ago!

I get NO RESPECT around here

8/4/2010 2:22:45 PM

^ I do use it with OMA, but the flip side of that is that you want to try to switch to danger-close when you have air support/chopper gunner to get quicker kills

8/4/2010 2:36:01 PM

^^my bad, Slave. I wasn't trying to steal the glory. You know I've got nothin' but mad respect for you.

That's right... it's 2010 and you just heard the term "mad respect" used. Don't ridicule me, if anything, I deserve "mad props" for use of the aforementioned catch phrase.

8/4/2010 3:04:58 PM

he is going to be mad mad at you

8/4/2010 3:06:57 PM

^^^ danger close wouldn't have any effect on chopper gunner though would it? since it's just bullets..

[Edited on August 4, 2010 at 6:50 PM. Reason : ^'s]

8/4/2010 6:50:31 PM

I think it does.

8/4/2010 7:05:55 PM

"Danger Close - Increased explosive weapon damage. Danger Close Pro - Increased explosive weapon damage + Extra air support damage. "

ie, n00btubers have more powerful killstreaks

just n00bed.. wow..i always read it as "do extra damage TO air support".. it's been a long week.

8/4/2010 8:15:03 PM

^^i thought that too but i need my Stopping Power for my silencerz

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

8/4/2010 9:08:51 PM

thats why you need that OMA Pro flexibility with your classes

I have 7 classes. Please allow me to elaborate upon my strategication:

BOOM OMA
Famas Grenade Launcher, No 2ndary, Claymore, Stunx2, OMA Pro, Danger Close Pro, SitRep, Martyrdom
Good old n00btube class...weapon doesn't matter much, as long as its an AR with a launcher...SitRep is handy to find enemy Claymores/C4 and destroy them with tubes...and OMA claymores are a necessity for camping tubers

RUN
UMP45 Rapid Fire, USP .45 Tac Knife, Frag, Stunx2, Marathon Pro, Stopping Power Pro, Commando Pro, Martyrdom
Run-and-stab class...feel free to sub Stickies for Frags on any of there, I'm trying to get challenges

SNIPE OMA
Barrett Thermal, No 2ndary, Tac Insert, Smokex1, OMA Pro, Cold-Blooded, Ninja Pro, Painkiller
Silent sniper class...OMA compatible for covert tac inserts and Highrise rooftop stuff

SHIELD C4 OMA
Famas Grenade Launcher, No 2ndary, C4, Stunx2, OMA Pro, Hardline Pro, Ninja Pro, Martyrdom
Accessory class to BOOM OMA...benefits are adding C4 to Claymore radius for powerful kills, also Hardline + OMA = ability to change and need one less kill for killstreaks...props to Slave Famous for knowledge

BOOM COLD-BLOODED
Famas Grenade Launcher, No 2ndary, Frag, Stunx2, OMA Pro, Cold-Blooded, Ninja Pro, Martyrdom
For those times when you want OMA Tubes, but need some security...basically the 1st class but more stealth...good to change to from class 1 when air support arrives

ANTI AIR
RPD Red Dot Silencer, Stinger, Frag, Stunx2, Bling, Cold-Blooded, Ninja Pro, Martyrdom
Even better for air support...Stinger x 2 means you can take down air support, Blinged RPD has good challenge value as well as solid in-game power, only drawback is no OMA

SHOTGUN SHIELD
Riot Shield, M1014 Silencer, Frag, Stunx2, Marathon Pro, Lightweight Pro, Ninja Pro, Painkiller
Fun class, reserved for boards like Vacant...Haul ass around the map and gat fools with one shot...silencer is optional, but shield helps you navigate tricky areas...not advised for maps with lots of space though, vulnerable at long distances

Like I said, you can sub any AR for the Famas, thats just what I'm using, but thats kind of my overall gameplan...with OMA I can switch from tube classes to silent classes to hardline classes with ease...and when i need to sacrifice OMA, I can quickly switch to an anti-air class (if dweedle isn't around) or run-and-stab class if the situation calls for it

after all of my literal days and days online in both MW2 and COD4 MW1, this is what I have settled on with my classes

but you can bet your sweet ass I will swap out the Famas for the AK at level 70

Also, whatever isn't Pro will be eventually

8/4/2010 9:31:07 PM

SHIELD C4 OMA actually has a Riot Shield and not a Famas

[Edited on August 4, 2010 at 10:19 PM. Reason : actually it doesnt but it used to]

8/4/2010 10:16:39 PM
