Anyone find it literally impossible to get a nuke?

That's exactly it. That's the one true reason the game is crap. It's not the glitchers standing in the sky, it's not the connection quality drops, it's not the lack of balance for lower ranks versus higher ranks, it's not 1887s in a dark corner, it's not the guys with infinite care packages, it's not cowards behind two claymores with iron sights up pointed at the doorway. It's selfish people like me holding an open position beside a primary objective and giving my poor long-serving teammates zero enemies to worry about on the left flank.

What is the point in this post?

Too many times do I have to listen to fools in game dictating to others how to play. Well guess what. The servers are not dedicated, there are NO rules so I will continue to use my "noob" tube and camp in dark corners to get the best score I can. There's nothing anybody can do about it, which is great.

Do not blame the players for the poorly structured game, they didn't design the game. Get onto activision and complain... doubt you'll do that though

I agree there are too many people playing headquarters and domination just to get their k/d up or get a nuke, basically they cant do it in tdm so they have to BOOST to do it in another game mode.
I do think its a form of boosting when you dont go for an objective and just camp your ass off.

To be honest i really dont care what guns a person uses , they are all their to be used , but playing a game with an objective i.e domination /h/q , demolition, and you camp in dark corners just to get a good score ...lmao have a word with yourself pal , to spend money on a game just to camp in corners to get a good score , i'm glad your enjoying the game.

Your right there is nothing anybody can do about it , your not a team player so thats the way you will play.Good luck with that.

No way, you run to the opposition spawn with a Rocket launcher and take that one. That's when all hell breaks loose.

People who only go for kills on Domination do my head in too. Even when I snipe I capture things or hold off enemies from capturing one of ours. It is highly annoying when you are the only one who defends objectives when you have 2 and that's enough to comfortably win.

I prefer to win , in domination the team that can hold b wins although on rundown i do love causing havoc on A

Actually domination is the one I use to get a nuke. It's the logical one really because if you are winning they'll be forced to come to you. I'll only go for the nuke if we have two flags and the way I'll try to get it is by defending. Camping in the middle of nowhere won't get you kills. Selecting a spot overlooking your two flags and picking off enemies as they try and capture is the easiest way to get a killstreak. I have seen it occasionally that people going for nukes will set right next to a flag refusing to capture while you're being dominated but I guarantee you they won't get it.

Take invasion for example. Let's say I have a sniper rifle and a PP2000. We start at C and also capture B. At that point I will take up sniping from C with a heartbeat on my rifle so I can tell when someone is trying to flank me. I have C4 placed at C and my pistol to back me up if I see anyone going through the building at the left. I can then pick them off when they try to take B and blow them up at C.

Doing that it's extremely easy to get harriers. The only time I'm camping or not defending is when I have my chopper gunner up and I don't think anybody is going to try and say that a chopper in the air isn't helping the team. Yes I'm not going to try and capture A but I am helping you hold the other two.

very true , only most good players playing domination use ninja pro , so dont always count on the heartbeat sensor.

Not necessarily, you'd be surprised the amount of people who run straight to B and leave their spawn one. If your team go for your spawn and B and you have C under attack then the opponents get stuck in 2 minds and your team can start by dominating.

True. I know I always use ninja pro. The heartbeat is very handy for detecting knifers though.

Kev_ps3 · 02-02-2010 10:52AM

Nukes are pretty easy to get in Dom with harrier and chopper gunner.

Not really because if you have a or c then eventually everyone will either spawn on either a or c leaving the other one unguarded. I d see what your saying but i've never seen it work like that , with the exception of certain maps where b isnt the most important, e.g wasteland , map where its raining (cant think of the name of it)

keltoms05 · 02-02-2010 12:51PM

i was playing afghan yesterday and had harriers, chopper gunner and nuke on. got 7 kills and played really cautious for the next couple of minutes and my harrier got me 4 kills, so then was in the chopper gunner and got 14 kills with dat - got the nuke but didnt use it because was still kicking ass in the chopper and said id use it when it was finished. next thing i know the score limit was reached and i didnt get to use my nuke:( 29 kills no deaths was good though:D

Soby · 02-02-2010 09:42PM

Only got it once..Tis fairly hard..Although what was even more annoying was i got a 31 kill streak before i had the nuke unlocked

Well done! you have taken the first step towards recognising your selfishness and realising that team play exists, then made a bollix of it by rationalising it all away by claiming to be a lesser parasite than some other clowns.

Good luck out there on the left flank, you lone hero, its not about the nuke, its about everybody else working hard to help you pad you stats, now thats teamwork...

Actually he makes a very good point. The point of headquarters is as much to deny access to the HQ as it as to capture it yourself. In fact if everybody on the team runs into capture then all you are doing is providing an easy multikill to any enemy who is good with a rocket/grenade launcher/frag/semtex etc.

The best way to defend a HQ is to have one person in a sniper position overlooking it, one person in a position close to each entrance and two inside to take out any that happen to get through the net.

He can sit outside and not capture and he's still helping the team by preventing the enemy from capturing. If on the other hand he's sitting in some corner in the middle of nowhere picking people off in completely pointless out of the way locations then it's a very different case but the way he describes it he is actually exactly the sort of player I want on my team.

This thread was started about getting nukes - it's really not about how certain players and their styles piss you off. It's a computer game - if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

Over two irate posts you've jumped to a wild conclusion about how I play the game at all times, and you're projecting other frustrations on to that - all the while being off-topic.

Rycn · 03-02-2010 03:38AM

All you need to get a nuke is loads of patience and extreme cautiousness going round corners... or ask a 9 year old obese american kid to sit in the corner of a free for all letting off tactical insertion after tactical insertion.

Definitely recommend HQ for it though. You'll be ignoring the objective, but if the team can keep a HQ from being captured, and take it as late as possible, then you've an awful lot of targets just rushing to get smacked down.

Your words not mine.

Just run through the domination point and watch all the little groundhogs pop out of their hole to try to find you and shoot them.

Cause once you step inside the capturing box the enemy gets (We're losing C!!! or whatever) and they'll come gunnin to that point where you can flank and kill them all and then capture it. You'll have an easier time capturing and a better K:D ratio to boot.

Don't just run there, kill one guy and try to capture, that's just asking for a grenade launcher death or 3 dudes honing in on your position trying to kill you.

Single capping is easy... if done right.

Take into account what's implied as well as what is said. You have to be at the HQ to have any targets rushing at you. There's six players on a team, they don't all have to be by the box.

I said ignore the objective, big deal, bad turn of phrase. I also said I was sniping. Putting a square peg in a square hole I was more valuable to the team in a wide role since I was using a support weapon and could not have secured the HQ for long with an M9.

Quite by the by, unless we're actually on the same team, I'm not going to be influenced by what way you think the game should be played - you don't get to police that, and the opinions you've expressed so far have been kneejerk and myopic.

Happened to me, 31 kills too

I always found, that usually when your playing just for the sake of it instead off going into 'must get nuke' mode, it usually comes easily. Then there are the the times you don't have the nuke on/unlocked :pac:

Sabotage and Demolition is the easist game type I find when it comes to getting nukes.

darraghwalsh100 · 04-02-2010 11:33PM

i got my 1st nuke today

had harrier pave low and nuke on

got the 5 kills with the harrier and the paelow got me another 7 or 8 and i got a few kills myself

very happy

alexindublin · 04-02-2010 11:37PM

There's nukes and all that hardware in the game...Man i need to get stuck in, i'v only done a little bit of the single player stuff and i think the game is awesome. I'll pee my pants if i get my hands on WMD..lol

Pavelow doesnt count towards your killstreak and you get it 2 kills after the Harrier (9), i think you must have meant Chopper Gunner.

darraghwalsh100 · 05-02-2010 12:06AM

well it did wat i said anyway

Anyone find it literally impossible to get a nuke?
