Modern Warfare 2

People on your team will hear you, plus everyone when in the lobby.

I got fed up with all the whining idiots and 10 year-olds that play this game, so I changed my privacy settings so I can only hear friends.

I came across a couple of boosters in a normal TDM game the other day. I could only kill one of them since one was a team-mate but I trapped him in a corner and knifed him constantly for about a minute solid until he got fed up and left.

does anyone know why some of my prestige challanges have reset to 0 when ive prestiged for the 2nd time, whereas some havent? my air based killstreak ones have remained, but my stun / flash based kills have reset...

gutted last night...i joined a map last night and after 2 seconds the nuke went off... no time for hunting

So in FFA, no one can hear me in-game? (they aren't on my team).

[charlesr]

They should just remove the tactical insertion from FFA. Problem solved. Not sure how they'd do that, but can't be that hard.

Everyone can hear you in game in FFA, unless they are in private/party chat.

I can hardly make out what most people say due to extremely poor sound quality. Is this the same for everyone else?

Agree and tactically insert something into all boosters

Regardless of how it was "cut" together. Some very disconcerting things said by the moderator there. "Ban every console you've ever been on"? Umm, what the ****?

I'm totally, absolutely against glitchers on any game, but threatening to ban "every console you've ever logged in to" is absolutely NOT ok.

the guy was a d**k when that kid asked him (nicely, too) what the player in question did wrong.

[Jebus]

Indeed.

Apparently MS have backed the mod for his actions, though admitted that he regrets the way he did it.

Yeah, of course he does.

The guy probably deserved a ban, he's a known glitcher, but either way that is abuse of power.

One thing though, I saw a guy with "Code of Conduct" as his blog, figured he was trying to be funny. I didn't realise that was the action they took against offensive items!

I'm absolutely baffled that these people, who are obviously paid to be mods go on mic and talk to people at all, surely the best mod on a service like XBOX LIVE is a silent one.

[jim g]

Jesus, glad I play PS3 if thats what 'mods' do on 360 live

[Family Fry]

Holy crap, how MS can stand by this so called Pro? Heaven forbid I ever play a game with him and I lag out. Wasn't even aware there were mods on xbox live, thought it was all done via complaints.

When I heard some of the things that were cut out of that video and what one kid was saying to him, I'm less surprised at how ThePro acted. From what I can gather the majority were baiting him to get a reaction and while some of the things he said were probably a bit silly, they're a sign of him reaching the end of his tether.

Ultimately it's what happens if you decide to be clever and piss off the person with the big red button. Some people (especially on the Internet - and especially with online games) just don't know when to shut their yap holes and that's where it gets them.

[Soi]

Yeah exactly. Don't fall for the scam of feeling sympathy for those twats.

If I were The Pro, I'd have said far worse to those scumbags.

[nonny]

So it's edited to cut out their own behaviour that pushed him over the edge? Either way ban all these modders. His response may not have been totally by the book but these idiots are ruining the experience for everyone.

One less moron in XBL ... a result.
