"Twista, what OMA classes do you run? I have"

i dont remember all the specifics, but of my 6 classes, 4 of them are OMA, such as:

- n00b tube, danger close, claymores
- n00b tube, cold blooded, claymores
- sniper rifle, cold blooded, claymores
- riot shield, danger close, claymores

As far as which assault rifle I use, generally its going to be one where I don't have 1,000 kills. Once I get 1,000 kills with the AK for example, I used a different AR for my tube

Also I think all 4 of those OMA classes have Ninja Pro for the 3rd perk

^i have very similar classes setup for n00b tube ownage, except I've got one with tac insertion (for highrise or back in the foliage behind the corner of Rundown). I also use SitRep on my most comonly used danger close n00b tube class, b/c it helps me to see claymores people have set up as they're hiding in buildings; I get a lot of blind tube kills that way.

haha, wtf, damn you IW. hating on my score

as long as it isn't XP then I'm cool with that. who the fuck cares about score anyway

3/30/2010 11:48:05 AM

The Microsoft points system is such bullshit. How convenient that like everything else you can buy it costs an amount that just happens to be right in the middle of the increments that you can purchase points in, so you have to buy a lot extra.

Wait, what good are the points in MW2 anyway? What do they do?

XP is what actually gets you to a higher ranking, right?

3/30/2010 11:54:21 AM

Don't you get XP from your score?

3/30/2010 11:55:29 AM

^^^^yeah the points system is bullshit. why not be able to purchase something outright for it's actual price??

Luckily this time I had leftover points from another stupid download that was in the middle and didn't have to buy as many points

so they felt too lazy to make a decent change

won't stop me because i'm never going to prestige again or play really heavily again for that matter

3/30/2010 11:56:10 AM

Maybe it only calculates your XP gained from a match by your final score of the game?

3/30/2010 11:58:23 AM

Will this subtract from your score in TDM and remove the points from the 7500 (or 10000) its takes to win?

3/30/2010 11:58:49 AM

I installed the stimulus package but now I can't connect to any games. It just says connection to Xbox Live has been interrupted.

3/30/2010 12:00:29 PM

Doubtful, that would lead to the same situation as "de-levelers" in Halo 2 and 3. This probably just impedes your personal score, that is shown at the end of the game in the post-game report, and from there lowers the XP you get from that match.

Also, stimulus package playlist still isn't working as of 30 seconds ago

3/30/2010 12:01:42 PM

Yeah I can't connect to any games either, no matter what play list. Private match works

I'm gonna give Sitrep with my OMA Tube classes a shot. At least it gives me a perk to work on and get XP for

Sounds like it will subtract from the team score, but only what you contributed. So you can't make your team go all the way back to 0, just your contribution to the team score will be taken away.

Sounds like my score in Objective gametypes is going to take a big hit.

3/30/2010 12:07:35 PM

i doubt it has any impact on the team score in any regard, much as your points for an assist do not contribute to the game score

3/30/2010 12:12:08 PM

haha, they screwed up the weight numbers in the gym in Bailout

I would say that if it doesn't have an effect on what you contributed to the team score then this update is pointless, and pretty much unpunishing for abusing OMA.

Also, I think the first OMA use should not be penalized.

^^ Hahaha, I really hopes this shit salts your OMA game, because you abuse this shit like a muthafucker.

I'm playing Domination by myself and changing OMA classes doesn't affect my personal score

3/30/2010 12:24:39 PM

Maybe its public matches only?

3/30/2010 12:26:03 PM

Maybe its not even true?

Penalizing you for using a perk each time you use it doesn't sound like a "tweak"

Until Duncan provides a source, I'm going to assume he is full of shit

Quote boxes with no links are great...especially when you copy the quoted text into google, and get zero results

And if it is true...well I had about the same KD the fist 5-6 days of online gameplay before I even finding out about the One Man Army 'glitch'...I'll make do

oh btw...is Infinity Ward really dumb enough to take away team points for doing this? Whats to stop me from just joining the enemy team and spamming the shit out of this to ensure that my own teammates win? Oh shit, we're down 7100-6200, quick somebody join the other team and subtract their score!

[Edited on March 30, 2010 at 12:32 PM. Reason : .]

3/30/2010 12:26:43 PM

there's no way it takes away team points.

probably just your personal XP. o well.

It was a Facebook message from a friend. I'm expecting the next one to be something along the lines of "April Fools, bitch!" because I, too, can't find anything else to back it up.

Sonofabitch got me all worked up for no reason... at least my class setups should still work.

3/30/2010 12:35:04 PM

well, on the xbox.com forums, there are multiple people saying they are still spamming the shit out of OMA noob tubes as if nothing has changed

however some of the programmers' twitter pages mention the OMA tweak

but nothing specific, and apparently no users have actually confirmed that you lose any points for switching classes

3/30/2010 12:49:34 PM

^ Are they playing on the playlists or in private matches?

Maybe it's a playlist-specific tweak? Like the party-chat stuff?

I mean it still COULD be true. This friend of mine is usually pretty solid (knows a guy who knows a guy) but he could also be trolling me. I messaged him back asking for a source but haven't gotten a response yet.

3/30/2010 12:55:27 PM

God, I hope this is true, I might start back playing again.
