Modern Warfare 2 General Discussion - Page 207 - Video Games

I was looking back until the 90's and either way, two people arguing about who has had more to cheer about when neither team has accomplished a friggin thing is pretty weaksauce.

Well you could limit the time you spend in close quarters areas, just like how if snipers annoy me I don't know what ledge theyre gonna be on, but I can definitely limit the time I spend running around in an open area

So we need to limit the time we run around in open area and also limit the time we run around in close quarters? Sounds like a fun game

like i said, he is incapable of defending his position with any sense, so why bother arguing further?

aiming's gonna be a bitch, because i assume you used the auto-aim on the single player.

as a pretty awful player who is getting better, i'd say just take your time a LOT in the beginning to get used to the maps. try not to get into too many firefights at first.

if you're on ps3, i'd go one-on-one with you a couple times to get used to the map if you want, i think i'm gonna be playing tonight for awhile.

Pretty damn bad. You will get killed from every angle and wonder where the **** you got shot from. Lucky for you there's a killcam. Make good use of it. By that I mean use it to figure out where the good spots are in the maps. Don't use it to just go running back to try and kill the guy only for him to be ready for you and shoot you in the face. The biggest hurdle is learning the maps and the only way you get better at it is with time.

And there's no point in bitching about the shotguns. They're not getting nerfed any time soon, that we know of, so just deal with it. Why does everyone have to take their anger out on someone who is using them? I'm sure as hell going to use them once I unlock them again, because it's fun to do. Sorry I enjoy being able to run in and win a 1 v 3, instead of camping in a window aiming across the map at a pathway for the entire ****ing game.

This, basically. It seems really daunting at first when you're running around like WTF EVERY MAP LOOKS THE SAME, but it only took me a few days before I felt like I'd learned most of the maps pretty well.

I am actually not using the auto aim, I don't think, but I am overly reliant on zooming in for shooting. Oh well, sounds like a steep learning curve. Hopefully I don't break something out of frustration. I'll be on 360, any want to play hit me up @ your moms house

just kidding, GT is ThaSaltCracka

yah im down to play, gimme a few

you rarely want to hipfire anyway so aiming down the sight is a great habit. i hipfire too much and waste ammo while losing more confrontations than i should. so i wouldn't worry about it too much if i were you.

makeit3bets, im like a 25nl coach of cod. i could probably help get you started but there will prob come a time where the student becomes the teacher. i feel like i know what im supposed to do @ almost every instance of this game, but when it comes time to put it in practice i just fail miserably.

btw, auto aim is critical for one big reason: sometimes a dude will be far away and you won't really notice him, but as your aim goes over him your crosshair moves a little, and then you notice that and can be like "oh, there's a dude right there."

Also, having been using ninja pro for a couple days now, it is amazing - almost as nice as the fact that you don't make footstep sounds anymore, is the fact that hearing any footsteps tells you that someone is nearby. It's almost as good as your idiot enemies using Scrambler snap-telling you that they're in the house you just ran by

I really haven't looked at the setting yet, but I am guessing my sensitivity is on the default. Should I increase it? It seems really slow right now.

Sprinting around and quick scoping with Barrett 50 cal maintains the realism imo.

Muresan is winning this argument btw. "Cheap" tactics only exist in the minds of people who think they know how the game should be played. Really reminds me of the live nitdonks that gets frustrated if I win with "bad hands" that "shouldn't be played." I use whatever tactic I think is to my best advantage, but that's the way I play games. If you're playing with some imaginary code of honor and ethereal rule set, you're gonna be really disappointed in any kind of competitive gaming IMO.

Oh, and I plan on using the 1887s when I unlock them, and I'm not going to prestige.
