Had a few good games of mtdm tonight. I've used the ump45 for months now but was getting sick of everyone migrating to it so decided to try my old faithful m4a1.....what a gun! Every single match (1.5hrs worth) went high twentys (some in thirties) to single figures. One match went 36 - 2 - 6. Its just a combo of a lot of small things, fire rate, smaller hip fire cross hairs and accuracy... that kick ass sound helps get the blood pumping too.

(Tis amazing how quickly people revert to dual shotguns, prone pointed at a door when their team is getting mopped up though:rolleyes:)

Isnt it? its like instead of getting out and trying to rack up kills, they'd rather sit out the already lost match and take a few people out if they happen to wander by, gotta protect that ever precious kdr :rolleyes: mines gone up and down like a yoyo lately, 1.11 down to 1.05, then 1.08, then 1.10 again then back to 1.07 where it is now, couldnt care less, sometimes I run around like a loon packing a SPAS, sometimes I lurk with a Scar-H, depends on my mood and how the other team is playing. If they're running around I lurk, if they're all sticking to one area then say hello to Mr. Spas :pac:

Well, sometimes when you are stuck in the middle of the other team's spawn, all you can do is try and hold your ground (Upstairs in estate springs to mind). I haven't dualwielded Rangers/1887's but when you are stuck up there and you hear your claymore go off, it is stupid to do anything but go prone and point your aa12 at the doorway.

Thats understandable alright but this was blatant campfest. One instance was my team spawing at the back of the house in salvage, ran around to the concrete pipes at the corner of their spawn to find a prone camper with dual 1887's, my own aa12 took him out nicely (had ninja on too and hadnt killed anyone on the way there so he couldnt have known I was coming) . Tis a disgrace though, pay 60 bucks for a game and another 15 for add on map pack to lay on the ground hoping someone walks past? Just doesnt make sense to me.

Wasnt mad for too long though, the match ended with 28 - 0 - 2 as I recall. Although a bit of that was my pave low..... the rest was the m4 though:D

:pac::pac: I love MW2.

TDM on strike. Get my uav, care package, and predator. Go to secluded spot and call in predator. Kill. Throw care package specifically in corner so that it lands there. Instead it hits off the building side above and rolls over me and kills me. I respawn and quickly run around the corner to where it was where i'm greeted by a **** on my own team that has robbed the STEALTH BOMBER. Fair enough if it was a uav or whatever, and also if it was out in the open where the enemy could have hijacked it but it wasn't.

Suddenly as he sits in the corner calling the bomber in i pin him against the wall and keep him there for over 5 minutes. That'll teach the bastard. When i died i specifically followed the **** around to do the same again. He was upstairs in the sniping room and lo and behold he ran straight into a corner where i duly pinned him once more. PerrinV2 was in the game at the time so when i had him pinned i sent him a message to come and look. He took it upon himself to help me keep him pinned in the corner. The dude tried so hard to get us killed by firing rounds at the wall behind him to attract enemies but we killed every one of them that came looking. I couldn't stop laughing as he tried frantically to jump out over us only to fail everytime.

You may ask why i bothered but the chap learnt a lesson. Don't take my care packages that are good if i've went to the effort of putting them out of the enemys reach in our own spawn.

****ing bellend. Pity i don't record.

and petty people like you are the reason the CoD community has gone to sh1te. he took your care package after you managed to kill yourself with it, how was he to know an enemy wouldnt come past, the spawns on TDM change all the time depending on the whereabouts of the other players. you wouldnt take a bomber or chopper gunner belonging to someone else if it was just sitting there?

If you die, your care package is free for all to take. The icon shows up on enemy radar and he wasn't to know where you spawned. He was right to take it, rather than risk it be taken by the other team. It's called Team DeathMatch for a reason.

With this game, I have only twice seen full out proper team play. One on terminal where a guy on my team was up by the gas tank. He had a headset and told me to wait by the door pointing at the inflatable ramp. He then threw me down his care package and held the enemies off while I collected a hind.

Another time on rust I had a chopper gunner. My team (using headsets) organised themselves around me and protected me 'til it was finished.

If there was more of this team spirit, it would be much better game imo.

Headsets make a huge difference.
Only really seen the benefit of them in objective games (cos that's mostly what I play when in a party - calling out who's sorting which point on attack/defence) but when playing S and D I've had my (random) team making call-outs and it's a massive boost.
Any real cooperative play will almost always guarantee a win in TDM, calling out claymores (I try to do it as I usually roll with SitRep), locations of an enemy trying to lock an area down etc.

The fact that he saw the package kill me and knowing our spawn at that point in the game ( considering our whole team was near me) was just there it was a bit cheeky to take it.

If i saw a care package in the back of an alley specifically thrown out of all the action and seen the guy get crushed by it i'd only take it if it was a UAV or something the team benefits from.

If it was a chopper i'd wait to see if he came back for it, and if not then i'd obviously take it.

Greed is a huge problem in mw2. Massive. Being crowded out of your own care package by greedy bastards is just not on.

I couldn't give a **** if it was petty or not, he got the message loud and clear.

Says you who is complaining about how a team-mate took your care package in a team game?

I couldnt agree more. I had pred , harrier and emergency airdrop set up but had to switch to pavelow simply cause of the amount of hassle from supposed team mates. You had to find a place on the map to set it down away for the enemy team and your own team!!!! On most if the new maps thats just not possible with any degree of ease so feic it.

Tis a joke when you have to protect your hard work from your own team and all. Funny cause the reason they are trying to steal airdrops is because they suck and cant get their own so go for the easy option..... but yet if they took up defensive positions they would easily get 3+ kills from enemies trying to rush that point :rolleyes:. Some kids in this game just have no foresight and just see the immediate kill and dont think ahead.

Its very evident with air support, the amount of times I see harriers and a pavelow in the air at once is a joke. The kids get all carrid away with themselves and "blow their load" all at once. If you release harriers the majority of the opposing team are gonna go to ground fast, the harrier will keep them pinned there so out with the shotty and head to the nearest indoor spot for a bit of killin. Once thats over and the harrier leaves THEN call in the pavelow to get everyone who has now left cover to come at your radar blip... there's another wave of kills in. If you have the harrier out and a pavelow your just overkillin it to the very last and essentially wasting 60 seconds + of what should be a serious match tipper.

You can take a whole team by yourself in COD so it's not really necessary to have a team plan (well the way I play)

Team game really goes for the game
I don't want someone who's level 10 who will go 5-20 in TDM on my team

Games like Halo put you with people who are as good as you. Something COD lacks

I can't believe this discussion is even happening

celtic723 if you are stupid enough in the game to kill yourself with your own care package, you don't deserve it anyway

Yeah I think if your play style is more tactical , you anticipate enemy moves two steps ahead, anticipate others moves (anticipate teenage whinge revenge kills) and lay traps then tdm is a much better experience. Its sad that the team part is so under used, the most"team" work you end up getting is timing killstreaks around your team mates and the odd clearing of rooms together.

If I see someone on the field that really know what they are doing I will stay and work with them for a bit and when you get someone good the damage you can do in conjunction is astounding.

I was playing in Kariachi and noticed a guy who had a good head on his shoulders so we teamed up, didnt have mics or anything but we could anticipate the others moves like room clearing.. if he was on left he'd clear left and I'd take right etc. If he'd move into line of fire to dash to cover I'd follow a half second later while the enemy were still acquiring his target and not focused on me so that made for easy pickin an vice versa. Honestly was the best match I had in the game thus far.

You'd really miss a good match making system after battles like that but alas your just lumped into noobtubers and witchers the very next night.

Gotten back into a sniping phase again and rediscovered my love for the intervention + stopping power.

Only got time yesterday to play two full games, they were MTDM on sub-base and followed by MTDM on afghan.

Ran with care package, predator, precision kilstreaks. I run precision over harrier because I find the precision seems to have more firepower with 3 flyovers as opposed to the harrier's two (my harriers were constantly getting shot down after the two flyovers). once I get to 6 kills I wait until someone on my team gets a UAV then once I see a cluster of red dots, fire.

Anyway got two care packages on sub base: pavelow and ac-130

Saw afghan coming up next so put the thermal on the intervention and claymores. went straight to the big bunker and laid a claymore at the door overlooking A flag direction and held down the bunker room and the area by B flag.

Patrolled that area the whole game and went 26-1 including achieving All-Pro + Collateral for a double headshot with my trusty intervention


Only two games I played all day so hopefully crushed my 'first game of the day' curse

Joined into a game of domination there in rundown yesterday, we were 140-70ish down and there was an enemy ac130 in the air as I joined. :eek:

Choose my sneaky git class, marathon pro, cold blooded and ninja pro with silenced p90 and raffica and started a comeback.

C was being noobtubed/mortared from the far side of the river, so I legged it round by the boathouse and knifed a couple in the building above A stopping the ac130 and then captured the point. Killed a few attackers trying to steal it back.

Had my kill streaks as uav/c-uav/pred and started calling them in. Went for B but the had it well guarded, 2 guys in the river and died several times trying to get it. Eventually someone on my team calls in pavelow/harrier together and allows me to capture B.

Eventually we start getting our act together and start to dominate all positions. We ended up winning 200-170 in a really enjoyable and memorable game, I even ended up getting a positive k/d and the most points captured in the summary.

I really think the lower level killstreaks swung it as once you know where your enemy is and they can't see you they're almost defenceless. Throw in ninja pro and you're silent too, add in cold blooded and now're you're sucking diesel!

The guy was around level 40 not even 1st prestige.

To be fair, I would point to this and say he probably didn't know anything about care package 'etiquette'

I had an emergency airdrop a while back and my team were all over it like ants on a picnic. It was 2 sentry guns, ammo and counter uav. I took the guns and ammo and left the c-uav as it doesn't matter if I use it or someone else. It's often easier to get kills by using it as a lure for noobs than to use the care package.

With some "teams" it's gotten to the point where I'm throwing the care package out of the map or whilst indoors so it lands somewhere inaccessable to lure in the scavengers (enemies and allies) as they run towards it blindly. I did a really good one on Afghan where i got a predator stuck on some pipes near number 4 on this map.

That missile lure got me 4 kills! I would have been gutted had it turned out to be an ac130 or chopper gunner of course!
