Finally got all of my SCAR-H attachments unlocked. Those FMJ kills take forever. I'm not really sure if I'll ever use the extended mags though, because I'd likely run them Blinged with Heartbeat or Holo sites...or some other useful attachment, then I won't have Scavenger to get the sweet ammo. Anyone have experience as far as that goes?

3/3/2010 5:57:16 PM

Aight Tdub, I'm a 69 now; is there any reason NOT to enter prestige mode when I hit 70?

3/3/2010 10:15:10 PM

If you're fine unlocking everything again go for it at least once, I'm gonna do my second prestige next week probably since I canceled my vegas spring break trip.

3/3/2010 10:29:13 PM

Oh no! You couldn't find another person to go?

3/3/2010 10:34:16 PM

^^^you have to earn like 71k more xp after 70 to unlock prestige, so play around with the AK for a little bit and then do it.

^^^^The only time I use bling is when I'm unlocking the earlier attachments on a gun and use red dot and silencer together to get through the challenges faster. Scavenger is just too pro. I switched to that once I started getting good and didn't like having to run around searching for guns on the ground after I'd killed so many people I didn't have any ammo left (or was bad and tried to kill people but missed >.<)

just completed the flawless challenge and got the supernatural, decimator, and the show accolades

"March 2, 2010 - Activision has announced Sledgehammer Games, a newly formed studio led by former Visceral Games executives Glen A. Schofield and Michael Condrey, will develop a new Call of Duty title that will "extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre." The publisher also confirmed it will release another Call of Duty title in 2011, but it's unclear as of now if this is the same title Sledgehammer is currently developing. This leaves the door open for another studio, possibly Infinity Ward, to develop the 2011 title. We've asked Activision for clarification. The company also confirmed Treyarch is handling development on the Call of Duty title to be released this fall. Meanwhile, Infinity Ward is still set to develop and release the first two downloadable map packs for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. "2010 will be another important year for the Call of Duty franchise," stated Mike Griffith, President and CEO of Activision Publishing. "In addition to continued catalog sales, new downloadable content from Infinity Ward and a new Call of Duty release, we are excited about the opportunity to bring the franchise to new geographies, genres and players." Activision also says it's looking to expand the franchise with the same focus seen in its Blizzard Entertainment business. This includes looking at "high-margin digital online content" and taking the series to "new geographies, new genres and with new digital business models." The company has had "discussions with a select number of partners" to bring the franchise to Asia, one of the fastest growing online multiplayer regions. "

What exactly does "action-adventure" mean?

Because that name for me dregs up images of Prince of Persia and Uncharted

Fun games in their own right, but in no way what I feel a Call of Duty game should feel like

3/4/2010 8:56:36 AM

Maybe they mean it'll be more like Mass Effect 2.

3/4/2010 8:58:10 AM

I'm pretty sure Infinity Ward has more loyal fans than Activision when it comes to the COD series.

3/4/2010 9:38:29 AM

I'd like to see some cross platform or huge multiplayer modes. Like 100+ players on a huge map.

I don't really follow gaming news too much, but I read up on this. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be in Infinity Ward's corner rather than Activision's after this. Why not just make it a new shooting series that is action/adventure and leave CoD how it is? Also I'm really sick of new CoD games each year.

3/4/2010 11:55:22 AM

what accolades does everyone still need? i still need most flags captured and warming up. i never thought i would get supernatural and the show but since i did im trying to get them all.

3/4/2010 12:19:26 PM

i want to know what their supposed "insubordination" consisted of before i make a judgment. but it is really suspect that IW hasn't gotten paid royalties for the game they just made that made $texas.

and ^, i don't really give a shit about accolades, just my win/loss and kill/death

3/4/2010 6:11:35 PM

I've had Supernatural and The Show for awhile (had to look up what they were)...its 'relatively' easy if you just have a hot start and some good killstreaks...the main ones I don't have are the objective based game accolades...I have a few like whatever the accolades are for plant a bomb, or defend an objective, but I have most of the TDM type accolades...the one where you use all 3 of your killstreaks in 10 seconds...the one where you kill every member of the enemy team without dying, etc...what I still haven't done is call in a nuke

3/4/2010 6:32:47 PM

anybody mountin?

3/4/2010 7:50:21 PM

i prob will

3/4/2010 8:10:18 PM

My room mate is terrible at CoD and has been using my account. My goal by the end of the semester is to bring my K/D back up to 1.00. It started down at .84 a few weeks ago and through sparse playing I've gotten it up to .93. I'm movin' on up.

3/4/2010 8:15:30 PM

How can you mount when Kobe and Wade are squaring off?

I'll be on afterwards

Sneak peak of the new map pack on this site. Just scroll down a little bit.

3/4/2010 10:54:48 PM

thats just what we all need, a bunch of MW1 maps ported to MW2

3/4/2010 11:10:30 PM

They're better than anything in MW2 now.

3/4/2010 11:20:51 PM

Honestly I wish they'd release an all new map pack and then just release a CoD 4 map pack for MW2 alongside it. I'd buy both of them. CoD 4's maps were a lot better than most of the MW2 ones.

3/4/2010 11:33:52 PM

That's what they're doing.

3/4/2010 11:35:22 PM

Nevermind. I hope the other maps mentioned at the end are ones from CoD 4 as well.

sweet they are bringing back Crash....hey SF thats the map with the tower in the middle...NICE

3/5/2010 2:47:32 AM

I never really cared much for Crash. I always liked the one with the Sadaam statue in the court yard and overgrown.

can anybody quote the article about the map packs so those with nazi web filters at work can see.

3/5/2010 10:35:33 AM

Awwwwww shit

If y'all thought we ran shit from the office on skidrow

Just wait till Tree and I get posted up on that tall building in Crash

We're a couple of regular Charles Whitmans from up there

3/5/2010 10:36:17 AM

I'm not really excited for the old maps...but at least I know them well. Should be fun.

3/5/2010 10:46:26 AM

yeah I would rather have completely new maps as long as they weren't shitty.

3/5/2010 10:54:53 AM

Speak for yourselves

Crash and Overgrown will be like slipping on a pair of your favorite underpants

A little crusty, but you instantly feel right at home

3/5/2010 10:58:14 AM

Just imagine how well we can hold down that tower with Claymores and OMA...we held it down sufficiently in COD4 with maybe one claymore a piece...oh lawd

3/5/2010 11:23:04 AM

this is something that could get me back in.

3/5/2010 11:58:06 AM

come on boys out of the kiddie pool and in to the deep end.... Battlefield Bad Company 2 is where it's at.

3/5/2010 12:25:10 PM

I'll buy BC2 when i feel like playing a game with totally unnatural controls, and totally unbalanced gameplay.

3/5/2010 12:33:50 PM

BC2 isn't "where it's at". BC2 isn't even as good as BF2, and all of these are worse than Quake and 1.6.

was that an open window that he was shooting through? That building wasn't accessible in COD4. Maybe this is there way of telling us that there may be subtle changes to the legacy maps. I don't know, we'll see. I'm just glad they didn't resurrect "Wet Work." That map with OMA could be both extremely fun and terribly infuriating.

I already predict that 90% of UAV strikes will be directed at the roof of that building.

3/5/2010 1:54:53 PM

^lol good call...whenever you hear an enemy predator come in though you could duck down the staircase

^^I'd love to play Wet Work with the new classes, etc

There was a spot where if you got up on one of the two platforms in the middle and got on the handrail, you could jump to the base of the ship's mast, then carefully, and I mean very carefully, crouch walk up the mast to the top...it required much more touch than say, getting on top of the crane in High Rise...but I'd like to get on top of that mast with my OMA/tube class and completely fuck shit up

Until somebody snipes me from the bow or stern platforms

Pump action shot gun + x3 Frags + what ever the fuck "increased explosive damage" perk 2 was called + steady aim = the winZ

I may die 13 times running back forth in teh map but i usually rack up 20+ kills.

You are really bad at being a game snob. How is BC2 better than BF2? Would it be how buggy it is due to the new release and how bad DICE is with fixing bugs, would it be the complete lack of prone for console players, would it be the absolutely ridiculous environmental destruction system that would let me take down a pyramid with a 40mm grenade, or maybe it is the glare on the sniper scope that looks like you are staring at the sun?

And it clearly isn't better than Q2/3/Live/World or 1.6 unless all you do is pub. My guess is you are a console-only player and a scrub that is somehow failing at being a snob

Finally unlocked the M16A1 today, but was unimpressed with its firepower.

3/5/2010 7:27:45 PM

I need some friends to play MW2 with, I currently only play free-for-all. I just got to prestige mode, I think I'm like at an 8 on prestige(1). But nevertheless add me as a friend! drbyrd222
