What the hell is with people working together on free for all?

i've never come across a heartbeat sensor player thats killed me while im a blip on the monitor with ninja on, seen countless killcams to prove that.

The issue is with Ninja Pro, but I've paid close attention to kill cams and never seen myself on the Heartbeat Sensor when I've got this equipped.

Tell me about it, Its clear they are working as a team when they are reloading next to one another and not fighting on the deathcam. Do they think we are stupid?

Trophies, emblems, silly kids etc.. fuel this type of activity. I think IW should create an ASBO emblem......

[nonny]

Agreed...

Its the Pokemon "gotta collect them all" mentality and I dont think the majority of people doing this sort of thing online are mature enough to realise it's massively detrimental effect on other peoples enjoyment.

It still surprises me how little these people care about what they're doing to the actual game experience. Do they even realise they're harming the community and putting people off playing a game?

I think I've been fairly fortunate playing MW2 to date. I am now oooh rank 65 and I have only encountered a handful of matches with people glitching or cheating. I still havent seen a nuke and I havent seen anyone doing a tactical insertion glitch attempt to get out of the map. I havent seen this new super-speed glitch either... in fact I've only seen two matches on Rust with 18 people and I dropped straight back out and searched again.

I guess I've been very lucky this far but equally whenever this patch for 360 drops I'll be even happier. Balancing issues aside IW just need to be on the ball now and patch things as they appear. This community of idiots searching for glitches and then posting them on youtube for posterity is giving IW all the tools they need to find the issues in their code and fix them accordingly... As a result I look forward to every patch they bring out provided it improves the robustness of the code.

About prestiging...

Yes as far as I am aware you do unlock more and more custom class slots as you prestige exactly the same as COD5 and I'll be doing that as I really like having several to switch in/out of for different matches.

I just finished the game was pretty good but nowhere near GOTY and the next one will need a better story. I just played the level

->Open Spoiler<-

where you need to take the White House, so i was running through it and you turn a corner and theres a box there, i burst out laughing as i was waiting for Snake to make a cameo ,anybody think the same when they saw it?

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Havent played this for nearly a wk now & I dont seem to want to go back like I did with 4 & 5.

My bro had a discussion with a mate & he's heard that the 360 servers also run the PC servers & PC gamers are able to play against 360 players, which if true means that there would be a considerably bigger advantage for them playing a against ppl using controllers. Could also explain these super human players that seem to appear every now n then.

Anyone know if this is true?

[Matt]

That could well be the biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard

I'm constantly in awe of the quality of the graphics and the set-pieces that unfold in single player, but the gameplay itself is leaving me pretty nonplussed. I'm liking the special ops missions more than the US stuff, but the US levels just seem so damn repetitive.

[nonny]

Yeh I didnt like the US missions in the campaign at all... most we're either too dark, too much going on and just plain confusing.

I really loved the infiltration missions of the 141 team such as the Oil Rig or Snow levels... much, much better. The campaign is definitely the weakest part of the MW2 triple compendium offering. Spec Ops co-op is superb though and I really want to see what DLC they drum up for that.

Regarding the super-speed glitch.

AFAIK it's just another glitch triggered through the public match glitching stuff they're fixing at the moment. Same as the unlimited ammo glitch and so on. I doubt it's going to be around much longer. I am still yet to see it in the wild.

I don't know what happened tonight, but either I was infused with the power of god or I became a Jedi overnight.

Have been playing this online tonight for about 5 hours doing Team Deathmatch Express. Every single game I topped my team with a K/D ratio of at LEAST 2:1. I have absolutely no idea how.

Had an absolutely huge laugh with a mate when the Care Package / Sentry Airdrop combo kept giving me dual sentry guns, so I kept setting them up out in the open like <---- ---->.

Absolutely brilliant fun tonight.

[Ouenben]

Urgh they really need to drop the tactical insertion ability, even if its only from free for all. The number of people sitting in a hidden corner quickly racking up skilless kills from friends/recruits is frustrating.

(Although it's very rewarding to kill one of them a few kills short of their nuke )

[nonny]

Twitter from FourTwoZero... the 360 patch should be hitting in the next few hours... Goes live 2am US (not sure which zone).

[Neon Ignition]

Another night and still no Nukes

I'm starting to pick up routes and angles in maps as well as suitable load outs like I knew in COD4 and COD5 and the killstreaks now seem a lot less effective when used against me so I'm guessing I'm more used to avoiding them effectively. There still seem to be a fair few people relying on the shotguns for easy kills thanks to their overpowering but perks like Commando Pro are helping me escape bad situations now that I can't die from falling at heights so I can fling myself out of buildings.

Still never had a game on Rust though (?!)

[iloveannie]

This is my first COD so the first time I've had to run holding down the left stick. Does anybody else find that their second finger on their left hand (middle finger) goes tingly and then stays like it for several days after a long play (two or three hours)? It's sensation of touch is strange and it's almost numb. I had to stop playing a few weeks ago and it took nearly a week for it to return to normal. I'd change the button but the game won't let me (tossers).
