    But anyway I'll leave it at that as you said yourself. Domination is played for kills and that was my original point.

    nope, not what i said at all. i said most people play it for kills but name a gametype where that isn't the case. s&d maybe but thats ruined with "sick sniiperzzzz".

    A good 50% of people I find in a pub game of SnD are along the lines of "XxX quiksopezZz" or some bollocks. Worse when they're last alive and can get an easy "hard scope" (isn't that what sniping's all about:confused:), but no they'll go for a jumping 360 no scope wallbang sh1te, and die.

    Some pr1ck was no scoping me last night in TDM with an M21.

    Saw him come around the corner in afghan up at c domination point. Gave him a few seconds to notice me, at which time he ran right towards me and i quickscoped him with the intervention.

    I only got him once but it sure was satisfying and i can guarantee he was raging.

    You know people aren't sniping "properly" when they have marathon/lightweight/steady aim and a barrett/wa/m21. :mad:

    Firstly I had two posts written up, fairly lengthy ones two but my laptop crashed twice :rolleyes:

    To the point, I said if I played Domination in a self obnoxious, tossing of to my K/D manner, 5 K/D is very achievable.

    In MW2 I have my doubts for a few reasons.

    In COD4 on my master account, my K/D was 3.5 and I was always played the objective for the most part. It was 4 for a long time as well but I started ****ing around with guns I despised ie: M14(?) and Druganov. Horrible times :pac: and so I'm very confident of getting a 5 K/D in COD4.

    But anyway I'll leave it at that as you said yourself. Domination is played for kills and that was my original point.

    Playing by yourself, getting a 5 K/D in mw2 isnt going to happen. It would be almost impossible because you'll get put up against good groups of players regularly(I know that if you get put up against say myself and 3 or 4 of our clans best players, you WONT be going positive), get dominated by noobtubes or airsupport and generally get ****ed up the ass by MW2's imbalances.

    Playing with a group of good players all the time, spawn trapping noobs... it wouldn't be that hard at all, which is what alot of these youtube players do, that have high K/D's.

    CoD was alot easier to get great scores playing by yourself because its for the most part, player vs player and not who gets the most killstreaks.

    Pointing to my previous post:
    I have to disagree, my friend is a camping c**t with his .50 Cal ACOG and now has a K/D of 4.16

    He's on PS3 - thechronicle87. FR for proof

    Granted it's not a 5 K/D but it's pretty fookin close. Plays on his own, never in a clan

    Shhhh !!! Your spoiling my awesomeness !!!

    Besides hiding in a corner in your own spawn doesnt count as playing the game and i doubt adnan could stoop that low !

    Unless I missed it earlier. Nobody said anything about playing on my own or not. There are other variables not mentioned as well.

    I also did comment on my doubts of achieving a 5 K/D in MW2. For one, as strange at it sounds.. I don't even rate myself in MW2 despite usually topping the leaderboard and my current K/D. Strange I know. Said it umpteen times I'm above average at best and with my current connection it's difficult to find consistency these days. I truly have a ****e connection trust me on that, so it's minor miracle what I do at times be it on FIFA, COD or whatever. At times I have 4 second delay, it's most evident on FIFA how bad it can get for me.

    Agree on the Youtube commentators, have said that's a reason I don't rate many of them and even that I find it hard to establish how players like Sandy truly are what his perfect connection and never ever playing the objective.

    COD2 will always by my favorite COD game in the series because it was perfectly balanced and fair. No BS to put up with and I never really finished anywhere below in the top 3 vast majority of time.

    i agree that most people play it to get kills but capturing all 3 flags is a waste of time and just leads to pointless deaths. games can be turned completely by an ac130 or chopper gunner so why risk letting the other team out of their spawn if your going to win?

    When i'm playing with my english mates we try and take all 3 flags, we play the objective and its the win that counts, now if a team is bad enough to get dominated its rarely they will get out ac130's needless to say when playing with a good group the air wont last a few seconds.
    I've had this discussion before and on most maps you can take all three flags and still have the team spawn trapped. E.g rundown taking all 3 flags spawn trap them at the house with the balcony, wasteland you can trap them at the chopper between b and c.

    thats great but most people dont play in parties. if your playing with a random team your not going to have any organisation so the spawns will be all over the place.

    You're logic seems flawed to me. If you're playing with random people, the lack of organisation usually means that there's no way to try to organise a spawn trap, as people are capping and running to their own ends. That's what I've found. If anything, running in a party is when a spawn trap would be easier.

    Myself and Shammy have had discussions about this before, and regularly play Dom together so we both play the ojective. I think both are valid tactics in Domination if you are just after the win. The 2 flag option makes it easier imho, as I feel you (should) suffer less deaths, which means you get more air support up, which makes it easier to win overall. But I've seen the streaks his UK mates go on and their tactic clearly works as well. A 78 winning streak is not to be sniffed at.

    Nah hes right, holding the same two flags in non group play is alot easier to control than trying to spawn trap with 3 flags (Im pretty sure that's what he meant), yeah you might not be able to spawn trap the entire team but you can keep a good lock down on them if you have a few decent players on yours.

    78 streak is decent, but its not exactly hard if you're playing with a good group constantly, i cant remember the last time we were beat in domination when playing with a full group.

    For the majority of the games there were just 3 in a group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    Its impressive alright, i think mine is only 40ish, i play on my own during the day quite alot tho.

    Still, 2 flags is still a better tactic than trying to hold 3.

    exactly what i meant. on maps like highrise and skidrow 1 or 2 players can spawn trap a team of 6 if you let them have a flag.

    Okay, but I still think that if you're playing with 5-6 randoms, one of them is going to run in too far and flip the spawn on you. If you've a party, it's much easier to communicate plans like that.
