    I got two Ac130's last night in the same match and only managed six kills in total. Half the team had cold blooded on all the time, the other half switched the second there was any type of air support. Nobody even bothered shooting them down.

    Its really lonely up there without those helpful red dots.

    Maybe it's just the evolution of the game play, now I switch to a class that has cold blooded in it if any air support is brought in, where as before I used to use cold blooded as a perk.

    Same thing mate. I called in an AC130 2 matches in a row, Karachi (~3 kills) and Quarry (0 kills). I guess alot of the guys had cold blooded and the rest of them hid indoors (smart move). I was gutted, although we annihilated them anyway.

    Another plus for my PaveLow > Chopper/AC130 point of view. People rarely seem to switch to another ColdBlooded class for a PaveLow for some reason. Given it lasts longer than either of those rewards, you have a good chance of plenty of kills. Unless you're going for a Nuke or trying to break a Killstreak record, I think the PaveLow is a better option.

    I got greedy and was going for highest killcount. Pred/harrier/pavelow is probably the best combination for a sustained assault on the hostiles.

    You still trying to beat that 35?? I'd just give up at this stage! ;)

    not as weird as my carepackage getting stuck in the clouds...not a building or a tree or stolen by a flying pig. An actual cloud

    Got a few kills. guys running over, some trying to shoot it down. Funny!

    I'll beat it ! Got 30-0 on Scrapyard over the weekend on TDM, but we reached winning score of 7500 before I could reach 35!

    Yeah, the olde cold blooded thing is getting way too popular. My eye sight isn't exactly the best to on a few maps I actually need to use the thermals if I'm sniping, especially on underpass because of the rain, otherwise I can't see a fecking thing. A few weeks ago I'd be racking uo the kills but lately every one seems to be using cold blooded so I'm like Mr. Magoo scouring around the map before some little ****e with decent vision shoots me in the back.

    Wow. Scrapyard. Tough place to go unkilled. Was that on your own, or with the lads and yee took over one map spot? Maybe try some Ground War for extra time, or Domination is handy if you are defending flags. You get to make way more kills in that game also. I've started playing a bit more of this, but it can be a pain playing with Randoms cause it's so hard to work out strategy. At least if you are playing with mates, you can discuss this a bit better.

    That CarePackage on cloud story is hilarious. Great way to pick up some extra kills. :)

    Well a trip to Specsavers sounds like a good option! And no, I'm not trying to be funny, my gameplay has absolutely improved since getting my eyes re-tested and getting new specs.

    Also make sure your xbox display is set to 1080p providing you have the correct hardware, the clarity is perfect.

    No it was on my own Saturday afternoon at some stage. I went 40-2 on Rundown aswell during that session, just one of those afternoons.

    For the first time ever I got 0 kills with a chopper gunner. 4 out of 6 of the other team had cold blooded, the other two were inside buildings and I couldn't get them. I just couldn't find anyone, it was unbelievable

    MW2 resolution for consoles is 600P.

    Cant use the AC130 at all. I robbed one from a care package in FFA highrise and got 2 kills with it. People were running around but my aim with it is crap. I hate when im on a team that keep running out and getting killed by airsupport. I either switch class or stay out of the line of sight.

    So it is. I didn't believe you, so had to go find out for definite.

    That said, I've used the component settings for a while on the XBox, which are 720 I think. They aren't quite as crisp as the HDMI cable 1080p quality.

    Amen for PC and 1200p and 1600p resolutions :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,209 ✭✭✭Redzer7


    Got 5 AC130's in 4 games last night :D, Got over 45 kills.
    Get one this morning though and didn't get one single kill in Karachi.
    Back to the Chopper Gunner for me :).
