    FCUK YOU EIRCOM!

    double xp and my net connection is slow as fcuk tonight, typical.
    Sweet jesus, it's arguably the worst I've seen in a long time.

    I had the exact same alst night, it was ok at 6 until about 7:30 and from then until about 8:30 I just had to quit it, went back to it at about 11 for an hour or so, disappointed, only had 60,000 to prestige and still have about 12,000 left to get today when I get a chance, I expected to get this last night and be up to my 4th prestige and afew levels in.

    Bloody Eircom :(

    Yeah, it's a bitch. No idea why it's so much more than the Marathon perk.

    Gotta agree, its so annoying that its much higher, I think atthe moment I have racked up about 110 miles of Lightweight, to get the 250 I would have to use it on a lot more classes that I already have Cold Blooded selected or Hardline. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    If you want to get the lightweight one just go into a private match on wasteland and run around it endlessly, some guys use elastic bands to hold their analogue sticks at an angle that just makes them run in circles, and go away and leave it on its own for a while lol

    would that count for public matches if it's done in private though?

    Private matches don't count for challenges though, do they??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    hmm maybe you're right,I saw a vid of 2 guys doing it on youtube, unless it was a public match with a clan they had or something? sure i suppose if what you did in a private match counted we'd all have about 50 nukes each if it was that easy :P

    Just over 100, maxed out Marathon but sweet mother of Jebus.
    I'll probably do it over the next few weeks because I've mastered all the assault rifles this prestige bar the FAL and FAMAS (though I mastered the latter in a previous prestige), the UMP and a few of the LMG as well as finishing off most of the other perks.
    Just dunno what to do with myself!

    I am having a ****ing bad day. I don't know why. Every single match I've played today my team has quit on me, and that is not a lie, every game there was a point where it was just 2-3 players. I struggled to do well and lost every match because of it. Not only that, it seems like half the people I played dropshot. So I just said **** this and I'm done with it for today.

    The worst thing about MW2 is the players. I go on to have fun but half the time with people camping, going prone or jumping while shooting just ruin it.

    The cod community in general are just retards. I was looking forward to barebones objective but most games I play are filled with people using noob tubes. I rarely die from gunfire anymore, its either that, commando or shotguns:rolleyes:

    I hate that so much. I remember one time getting 3 games in the one day where my entire team on my side left.. 5 on 1 for a bit until finally more people joined.

    I looked at the Barebones game type this morning and wondered "What will piss me off now there's no killstreaks?" The first thing that popped into my head was "noob tube"..seems I was right:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Lag and dropped connections is unreal tonight, guess it was inevitable with the new maps, annoying as fcuk though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,692 ✭✭✭shawpower


    Campers. I was playing a game of TDM on TrailerPark last night. Some little sh1ts just kept going back to the same spot, hidden in a corner beside the swimming pool. He positioned himself in such a way that it was tough to pick him out. Got him after 1 death, but he kept going back and picking people off. Ended up with him getting the winning kill on someone else in the game winning kill.

    so i go and splash the cash for the resurgance map pack. 4 times in a row strike shows up. I never played the carnival one yet. Was about to but the other muppets decide to veto it. What comes up next. Strike. For furk sake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Sigh, I stuck Commando on one of my light classes as I want to be able to jump off stuff without killing myself, means I have to knife 20 people, I feel dirty :( apologies to any boardies that I stab over the next while, if there was another way of getting no falling damage I would!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Cossax


    Kinda sick of the rate at which the Resurgence maps are still popping up (Xbox user), Strike is an OK map once in a while but am starting to get sick of it. Carnival is also pretty good but comes up way too often.

    On the otherhand, Overgrown and Crash are much rarer than they once were so thumbs up there.

    Can't remember the last time I actually got Rust and I miss Skidrow, Rundown and Afghan being part of my regular rotation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Its funny watching people (me included) who havent played the Resurgence maps enough to know the ins and outs of it, me a 2 other guys ran into a building on Strike not realising it was a dead end, was funny watching us stop, look around then all go back the same way lol

    Chris Smoove has a video up where this happens. He's playing S&D on Strike for the first time, he has the bomb and there is about 10 seconds left to plant it. He's running for the A bomb and tries to duck through a building, but ends up in a dead end. Turns around and sees a teammate who's "escorting" him has followed him into the dead end too. :D:D (Got the bomb planted with about a second to spare)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,494 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    I haven't gotten around to getting the Resurgence pack yet, but the game is pissing me off big time lately so I'll give it a miss for awhile and probably get the Alan Wake DLC later in the month so I'll have something else to play.

    The match making in this game is ridiculous. The only people I get matched up with are people who have the Stimulus pack and with people who are on a losing team with a minute to go. And what have they done to the map rotation? I'm always playing on Bailout but never Crash, and I hardly ever play on the normal maps. It seems like I'm either playing on Bailout or Estate. I don't think I've played on Scrapyard in about 2 weeks and every second map is Bailout :mad:
