I hate dome

I love dome.

1/11/2009 9:41:59 AM

i enjoy dome.

(and where you been mildew, every time i'm playing you're not)

1/11/2009 11:26:45 AM

I've been out a bunch of nights lately. This week, I should be on live a bunch more.

1/11/2009 12:19:48 PM

Dome is the Wet Works of WaW.

1/11/2009 12:53:55 PM

Hell naw. Not even close to be similar.

1/11/2009 2:03:26 PM

less shotty/grenade combo, but its still the small speedball map thus far

1/11/2009 3:03:41 PM

i really like courtyard and dome - the smaller maps are so intense and there really is a lot of strategy you can use

i don't like makin and asylum you can get shot from any angle i start freaking out

1/11/2009 3:11:44 PM

any tips on the bolt action rifles? i am absolutely horrible with them and am trying to discipline myself and play with each gun.

1/11/2009 6:51:23 PM

Mosin Nagant with stopping power in regular team deathmatch... it has a good iron sight (I actually like it better than the scope). Just aim for the shoulders/chest... one shot kills

1/11/2009 10:09:18 PM

stopping power is almost a must for me. too many juggernoobs out there

1/12/2009 7:38:22 AM

I do better with rifles in general in hardcore because bullet damage is so high.

1/12/2009 11:19:08 AM

i got tired of people using second chance and killing me with my FG42 - I never have enough bullets left to take out those bastards so I switched to using the mp40 with double tap

i think i like it the best of all

1/12/2009 11:28:46 AM

I like Makin the best actually I like them all but Roundhouse, just not feeling that one.

1/12/2009 2:25:27 PM

yeah roundhouse is my least favorite one as well. I too, like Makin. if you can get a good jump on the other team you can absolutely rape.

The only other one that I really don't enjoy, and it's because i haven't gotten my strategy down yet, is Seelow.

1/12/2009 2:28:33 PM

On Seelow you can either snipe or blow shit up with a tank. It's not much of a run and gun map.

On Roundhouse I actually do alright, though I'm not crazy about the map. Everyone is so focused on a frontal assault you can rack up kills by just following the perimeter of the map and flanking anyone trying to snipe across the yard, the rubble also protects you from getting lit up by a tank while doing so.

1/12/2009 2:45:16 PM

It is absolutely infuriating playing on Roundhouse (I think) and getting knifed from under the ground. How the fuck is it even fun for tools to do that? I love though, on Team Deathmatch when people are jumping up against that wall (sometimes 3 at a time from the other team) and I just throw a sticky grenade and take them all out before they are able to do it.

*** I love the 9 on 9 in Ground War. I don't have class tonight so hopefully I'll be able to get up to Lvl 28 or so tonight (I'm 26 right now)

1/12/2009 2:55:08 PM

i'm almost on my 2nd level of prestige

who's got the highest - i know its nothing to be proud of

1/12/2009 3:17:43 PM

jeez, i haven't even prestiged once yet. Still level 36 i think

1/12/2009 4:02:25 PM

I'm not prestiging this game. I went thru 3 or 4 times on COD4.

1/12/2009 4:18:58 PM

I dont prestige. But I am closing in on 17,000 kills, and I am improving daily my 1.70 kill/death ratio. It really sucked as I was getting all my weapons challenges. I have been averaging somewhere around 3:1 in free for all, and will continue to pillage there until it gets somewhere close to a 1.8:1. Probably too much damage for me to get to a 2:1 anytime soon.

1/12/2009 4:21:01 PM

i'm not gonna waste my time until the ps3 gets a proper patch to fix all the glitches and fuck-ups that it has. I read today they are looking at early February for that to be released. By the time it really happens we'll all probably have moved on to Killzone 2

1/12/2009 4:22:01 PM

I have a .59:1 K/D ratio

I sucked ass for the first like week I had it and plus I let my sister play it when she was drunk and she was like 0-50 in Team Deathmatch a few times... which puts a hurting on the ratio.

960 kills / 1628 deaths

[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 6:43 PM. Reason : what is the point in prestige? it's the same shit all over again.]

^^^you didn't have to say she was drunk all you had to say was she is a girl

i got killed by a person with sn [XOXO]GossipGirl

that was embarassing

1/12/2009 10:37:06 PM

wrecked face tonight, kept ending games with like 21-9, 21-1, 16-7, etc..

cliffside is my new favorite level.

1/12/2009 11:57:30 PM

i love starting out 7-0 on team death match, and only getting killed because the guys i just killed spawned behind me. then they end up spawn killing me until my k/d is barley above one by the time i have 10 seconds to get setup after i spawn. When are they coming out with a patch?

1/13/2009 3:01:21 AM

Wow, you guys must be some SERIOUS campers in order to have k:d like that. I go positive a lot, but its like 21-17 for example, but all I play is objective games, and you tend to die a lot more, and kill less compared to playing any kind of deathmatch. What modes do you guys play?

1/13/2009 7:41:03 AM

I don't camp at all. It's all about the momentum...I can go into team deathmatch and rack up 10 kills easily before anyone knows what's happening to them. Then one of two things happens...I'll keep going and finish off with a 21-5ish record or i'll die and begin a series of shitty spawns and finish 19-16.

i like objective based games sometimes. More when i'm playing with a party and there is actually communication and strategy involved. If i'm alone, i'd rather play deathmatch and just rain down on the opposing team.

1/13/2009 7:57:32 AM

Yet, another problem exist with COD. That's the ranking system. Its not representative at all of the player's skill, whereas in Halo the ranking system is very accurate. Now if you were in Halo having those k:d with people on at or above your level then I would be impressed. I am not trying to slay you or anything, I'm just saying.

1/13/2009 9:10:41 AM

For some reason I can't get into World at War online mutliplay like I can for CoD4. While the campaign blows that in CoD4 away and playing zombie mode with my buddies is fun in World at war; i have broken out the CoD4 again to play online tdm.

1/13/2009 9:12:08 AM

Well you're missing out then lol. See you when you come back, we'll be waiting!

1/13/2009 9:18:51 AM

how does the ranking system work in halo? i haven't touched that game circa halo 1. and even then i didn't like it.

1/13/2009 9:54:09 AM

Well in Halo 2 and 3 its really really accurate. Say for example if you are level 30, and you play some level 20s you know you are going to win with out a shadow of a doubt, and they only match closely ranked people because the system is so accurate. In COD there really can't be a true ranking system because you have unlocakables and to make the game enjoyable they make it so everyone has a chance to play with all features, weapons, perks, and attachments. If you just play COD you will eventually unlock stuff no matter if you are good or not, whereas if this had the same leveling system as Halo 2 or 3 then lots of people would be awfully angry, and really know if they are good or bad. Halo 2 and 3 ranking systems are like a reality check.

This is not official but its probably close to the actually 'under the hood' description of the ranking system and how it works http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=14414600

ok i got ya. that's what i thought you were getting at.

you are exactly right. anyone can play for weeks straight, have a K of 1:1 or worse and still level up and prestige which makes them appear better than they are. A true ranking system would be pretty bad ass.

I play on Veteren which is supposed to be for more elite deathmatch players, but i find the same level of skill there as anywhere else.

1/13/2009 10:09:59 AM

Is Veteran like Hardcore, or is it just more experienced players?

1/13/2009 10:12:46 AM

its just like regular team deathmatch. I saw no evidence that there were more experienced players involved

1/13/2009 10:22:02 AM

well if i see someone with a symbol beside their name that i have never seen then i consider that person to be good because they must play the game a lot

like last nite 5 guys on the opposing team all had like 3-4 prestige and i was on a team where no one had prestige

we were getting waxed so bad i left the game and cursed how they set up the teams

but yea i bet halo's system is better even though i never played

i think in hardcore there might be a spawn delay but not sure

Any good strategies for that one? It seems like on every game some of the guys try to snipe down the middle of the map and the rest try to flank along the sides.

That's sort of how like I am now. I love the 9 on 9 Ground War (even though I have to suffer through some Team Deathmatches on Castle) when it's actually the War mode. On the big maps, it's awesome trying to hold and capture the flag with 9 people trying to do the opposite. Of course it blows when it turns in to a tank war.

I rack up some nice 16-5, 20-9 type games on Team Deathmatch but I hardly ever even have a 1:1 on War because I like to try and help actually get the flags.

I can't way to be able to play Hardcore War mode too.

Honestly I don't like Halos ranking system. Every match is pretty homogeneous. Thus you do not get the pleasure of waxing n00bs one round and than getting your butt kicked by someone a lot more advanced (which helps improve your skill). Plus it sucks when i play with my halo 3 friends b.c as a guest my opponents are always a lot more skilled than me since i am playing on their higher ranked account. Whereas if i am in a party with my buddies in CoD there will be a mix of player skill levels. I think this is part of the reason i did not get into halo3; although if i played in my account the halo players would be n00bs.

trying to play through single player mode, stuck on the level where you have to assault the reichstag.

it says "enter the reichstag" and i keep killing people for like 30 mins, and nothing happens. if i get close enough i get instagibbed. and the guys seem to be respawning. also, i have horrible weapons for this, they didn't even bother giving me anything good for long range either.

1/13/2009 11:31:17 PM

on cliffside i usually plant 2 betties in the "hole" thats punched through the rock wall. i also like to plant a couple in the "staircase" room, and camp at the bottom and shoot people from there.

1/13/2009 11:33:09 PM

I just had a 1790 XP round
went 22-3 on courtyard, with the dogs helping me out to get that number
that and I completed 4 challenges during the round, and got a healthy match bonus.

are you inside? where you can flank either right or left? You have to keep moving as much as possible. COD is a checkpoint based game and the badguys will keep respawning until you progress far enough to trigger a checkpoint. First start off and try to Molotov the wooden towers they have built in the center, by then some of your men should have died and dropped a Mosin Nagant. Grab it in place of your pistol and go left. find cover and snipe the half a dozen or so guys in that corridor. A couple should drop an MP40 or STG. Grab it in place of your SVT-40. You should be able to take out the rest of the guys on the towers across the center area. (I went back and flanked right to take out some remainders, plus its easier to get to the stairs from the right). Once the center yard is clear make a dash for the stairs, toss a grenade or two and the checkpoint should trigger.


If you are outside, after blowing up the 4 FLAKK guns, and trying to enter from there you just have to keep fighting the guys off for several minutes. But you have to continue up the stairs to their barriers. After a minute or two one of the columns will fail triggering the next checkpoint, but don't rush up the stairs b/c a guy with a flamethrower comes out.

i think W@W is worse than this than CoD4. I like sniping and sharpshooting with the rifles but its not effective since the enemies respawn. If I want to run-n-gun spraying my mp40 everywhere than i would play halo3.

The flakk gun mission sucks btw

How many times do I have to explain this - the enemy DO NOT constantly respawn. There are a set number of them and if you set back they will be aggressive. Think of yourself as the point man, so you have to move forward to make your friendly AI push harder and kill more of the enemy. The checkpoint system works nothing like this. There are at certain points whether you have killed enough enemy or not, unless its a specific situation.

1/14/2009 9:11:08 AM

not arguing your point, b/c i honestly haven't read up on their checkpoint system. But that farm level on Modern Warfare where you have to make it down the hill to the helicopter. I've set back and slaughtered dozens and dozens of enemys for the fun of it without advancing and there was never any end in sight.
