Brag: Had a 5 kill predator missile last night. Everyone spawned basically as it was landing.

For my 1,000th post, I give you I_Like_Beer's ways of making Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 a better game:

1. Knifing is ruining FPS games. It is ridiculous what it has turned into. So how do we fix it? We make it be that only knife attacks from behind is a one-hit kill. We copy how Dragon Age determines if a rouge backstabs or not. A perk that could be added would be to widen the area a one-hit backstab works (from 120 degrees to 180 degrees). All other knife attacks deal 50 damage. Also, you can't stab when carrying a two handed weapon. How the F do you withdraw your knife when carrying an RPD or akimbo weapons?
2. People can run way too fast in this game. It turns some games (like capture the flag) into a track meet. That's not fun. How do you fix this? By adding a equipment slot for armor. You want to run really fast? Then you aren't going to be able to wear any protective gear, thus bullets are going to do a lot more damage. You can have multiple types of armor to choose from that gives you more or less movements speeds and damage reduction.
3. Kind of related to the previous two, but getting hit by bullets hurt. You shouldn't be able to continue running at full speed when getting hit.
4. Give us more Hardcore mode options. Just having TDM, S&D, and HQ is lame.
5. We need more game modes that can handle 18 players. Just having the one game mode is not enough.

Found out that if you're killing during a controlled killstreak, while you continue to control the killstreak, the kills don't add to any further killstreaks you may have gotten.

I really think it's just the care package glitch causing the problems with both the knifers and the fast run speed. Neither of these are really a problem without it.

Ya, I haven't had a problem with someone using a commando knifing class in a while. It's only when they have the care package marker that I get frustrated. Otherwise I just fight fire with fire(fire up my CQB class), or use an AR and try to keep my battles to medium range.

when I log on in says that some things are limited or unaccesable, are any of you getting this message? anybody know what it is

You should probably be playing Rainbow Six

Just found a sweet FFA lobby that I was crushing and my fiancee forces me to stop playing so we can take care of some social business approximately 3.5 months ahead of time

In other news, I am in love with the RPG as my secondary. Trying to aim it into a commonly-used sniping opening from 3/4 of the way across the map is really satisfying when it works, especially when you get a double kill. Was playing on Estate before in that FFA game and I hear a ruckus going on in the house, so I fire a rocket into the main door from one of the pickups near the boathouse for one kill, then fire another rocket into the opening to the front ledge for a second kill. Also I'm convinced the Semtex is the only equipment usable in FFA, unless you want to use the throwing knife for style.

So I guess the 360 Global Thermonuclear War game mode has been hacked and we may see it crop up from time to time?

This video made me ROFLMAO..

mostly good ideas , -- game modes with 18 players is so much laggier though, i never play GWar anyway.

Doesnt getting shot slow you down already? i remember the CS days it would make you basically come to a stop. I liked that .

ive never played dragonage but i think your knifing idea is good, but i dont think knifing is 'ruining' mw2 at all. I love the throwing knife tbh.

To all UMP-haters: are you just saying you hate all SMGs? The UMP is by far the best SMG imo.

Damage goes from 40->30 when silenced though, right?

DEAR GOD NO

I've played it a few times, it's only in private matches at the moment though.

unlocked the red dot sight for the ACR and proceeded to go 105-11 in the next four rounds

i've been getting so ****in pissed at the knifers lately. they just run through half a clips worth of bullets and knife me. then when i try to knife they hipfire 3 rounds and i take a dirt nap instantly. and forget about winning a knife vs. knife battle. no matter when i knife, if they knife too i lose.

maybe just a bad day for MW2 cause i was getting the most ridiculous spawns today too. or i'd kill a guy and he'd spawn right behind me. how ****ing hard is it to make a decent spawning system? look at where enemies are, spawn away from there. seems pretty ****in simple.

also, that MAG beta i downloaded keeps disconnecting me from the server before i even get a chance to play. that was a waste of 2 hours. anyone else had any luck with that?

im not really a big fan of SMGs but i'll take the p90 over the ump all day every day. **** ill take the glock 18 over the ump.

you only lose range when you put the silencer on the RPD

Semi-grunching omfgridiculous thread.

Picked this up last night for the PC through Steam, but haven't had a chance to play yet.

Can I get any keepable unlocks from single player missions? Or will everything reset when I step into the IWNet multiplayer?

Is there some kind of "Enhancement" (read: Hack) that will automatically knife when someone is in range, because some of these knife deaths of mine are mind-boggling. I'll be coming around a corner or something like that and boom, I'm knifed. He scared the bejesus out of me, so I'm assuming that I was a surprise to him too, but it doesn't matter. Knifed.

yesterday, I got knifed by someone, and during the kill-cam sequence, I did not appear on his screen! I ran by him on his right, he knifed, and I was dead.

Nah, machine guns and snipers handle silencers differently than the other guns. They do the same damage at all ranges. Snipers always do 70 base damage and MGs always do 40 or 30 depending on the gun.

Silenced sniper = 50 dmg
Silenced MG = 30 or 20 depending on gun

headphones? i have 'prediction killed' someone with a knife before, it's not hard.

your second paragraph sounds suspect obviously though haha.

i like the vector but im not big on smgs

Finally got to lvl70 last night, but I'm not gonna prestige. I've got too much actual work to do to leave myself with any unfinished video game business*, plus I like all my fancy weapons. That being said I wouldn't mind playing some co-op specialops at some point if anyone's interested, I just unlocked the delta ones and def need some assistance.


* - I still need to nuke somebody though, obv 7-11-25 is the way to go but what about level selection/strategy? Should I just try to camp and slowly accumulate kills until I can unleash my aerial support, then hide somewhere safe?

Does anyone who uses headphones also have a receiver/speaker setup to compare it to? I have a receiver/4-way floorspeakers/sub but have never used good headphones before. I know they make a big difference over the TV speakers but not sure how they compare to a decent home theatre setup.
