I don't play this bad game anymore, but SitRep would probably be a pretty good choice if there's not loads of guys using HBSs. As all the OMA DC guys always set up 2 claymores in their camping spots it would make them easy to find. Plus the Pro must be amazing if you have a headset. Saw some guy on CoD4 this week sniping with Juggernaught and Martyrdom lmao. Killed him multiple times as he ran back to the same spot.

Most kids on MW2 just slap on Commando even if its not on a M/L/C scum class. I use Deep Impact most of the time in CoD4/WaW. RPD+Grip+Deep Impact = Nowhere is cover.

I might use Dead Silence now after I felt the benefits of Ninja Pro on MW2. Dead Silence has a pretty high unlock level on CoD4 though, in the 40s or even 50s I think.

My problem with Nintendo as well. They don't have to try anymore. I see this as a problem is that the games aren't standing on their own merit. Its the characters and the brand, similar to how say a horrible pair of shoes will sell just because it says Nike on it. Yeah Kinect is BS. Even the name sounds pretty gimmicky, it seems a waste of time to me to create a whole new motion system and then just use it on a set of essentially minigames. Kinectimals seems lifted straight from Nintendogs. I don't think much of Move either, but they do seem to be using it in games like RE5 that are already out and could actually be improved with the Move. I only played the demo of Heavy Rain but thats a game that could really benefit from a motion controller, though they have made this new "Heroes on the Move" game especially for it which I think will probably tank pretty badly. Microsoft seem to be moving to be more child friendly on the whole, e.g. with avatars which are pretty much a copy of Wii Miis. I don't think you can blame them too badly for it though, Nintendo have proven its a good business strategy, and they just want to just get their own piece of the action. I wish they hadn't bothered with this motion technology though; they seem to be charging a lot for it, but if you want motion control that badly you might as well just get a Wii. They should have just written this generation off and come back with properly integrated motion controls in their next set of consoles.

Meh Nintendo seemed to just pedal more of their casual crap, as usual. They seem incapable of creating anything new, like shdowfaxpz said they just rehash the same franchises and characters. But hey Nintendo don't need to do anything to please gamers anymore, they can just wallow in their swimming pools full of cash. Sony and Microsoft still need to actually try and sell their product because they're not targetting 8 year olds, so they are putting the effort in by creating new stuff like this motion stuff, even if most people couldn't care less about it. Sony at least have made plenty of new franchises, like MAG, Motorstorm, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance etc, Nintendo just rely on the same franchises and characters, and know they'll sell just because of people's fanboy attachment to them. They know they don't really need to make good games, just like Activision and MW2, they knew it was going to sell a ton, so who cares about things like a beta? Saw this thing for Gears of War 3 where you played as the Locust in a kind of reverse horde mode. I'm a pretty casual fan of GoW, I bought the first 2 cheap, but I liked the singleplayers and horde a ton, there was a gameplay demo as well showing that theres now 4 player co-op.

Lol bad kids like the guys on Crash who always try and climb the ladder at the Marine spawn onto one of the roofs, despite the fact they get sniped off everytime they try. Honestly I've seen a guy try climbing up there even though I've sniped 2 of his teammates doing it literally right in front of him. Also they always just rush straight up the alley on the OpFor spawn, its like shooting fish in a barrel. I'd Love to see some of these MW2 kids play CoD4, they would get absolutely wrecked. Apart from the way theres obviously no BS like OMA/DC and M/L/C, the guns actually have sway and recoil, so no ACR laserbeaming or 2 hit SCAR kills across the map.

It was never that big anyway. PS3 slim I could understand after suffering all those grill jokes.

How is that even possible considering there was only one console before the 360? It can run all Xbox games... I don't see that as limited... Nah I don't think it can run all of them, only the big games like Halo 1 & 2. I really think it was a bad idea to make this thread lol its making kids like ratchet rage. I own both systems and have had only had problems with the PS3, not hardware problems but software issues caused by Sony's patches. I don't see why you need to have a thread like this, from any rational point of view they're pretty equal. Because I own both consoles I use their strengths, I go to my 360 for online games whilst I go to the PS3 for its better exclusives, and the limited selection of Blu Ray films that I have. Does anybody remember this thing where the first PS3 platinum games were coming out and they were all in red boxes like HD-DVDs? I remember everyone joking that there would have been a lot of them around.

Using the CoD4 AK47 again feels so good. Loving the free kills from all these kids trying to do [cabbage] like jumping 360 no scopes from the top of Broadcast.

Try not to play with randoms, because the biggest problem is getting to like wave 15 and having a good thing going and then for some guy to either ragequit or open all the staircases or something.

Nah just OMA DC guys camping at the top of the ladder.

Killhouse and Shipment HQ <3: Rust is such a terrible attempt at another map like that.

The point was he called CoD players kids, then talked about his school. The Barbie & Friends joke was just in retaliation for the unneeded "kids" comment, I wasn't being serious, and this should have ended there. This kid started the flaming not me.

IDK maybe stop playing Barbie & Friends and they won't. Also you call us kids then talk about your school, fail. See, thats the thing. I call you kids because CoD players are largely immature, at least the majority of them are. I don't play it because it isn't that good of a game. It's just another FPS, as hard as that may be for you to comprehend. And if you think someone can't play "hardcore" games without CoD you're just ignorant. Grow up, kid. I lol'ed, seen as you started the childish name calling, then call us immature. You could have expressed the opinion you don't like CoD without bashing the people who play it, now you've just come across as one of these really butthurt kids who hate that CoD is the most popular game right now. I played the demo of AoE3 and didn't really think much of it, it didn't really feel like AoE to me very much, I doubt I'd have liked the full game. For me its always going to be AoE2 and AoM that are the best.

You get an extra 500 XP for a headshot in Search. Triple RPG on Chinatown, that was pretty nice. Just using it right now as I'm a lvl 20 or so, I'd like to use it more but I prefer Bandolier most of the time.

What would happen when a player goes over 2.147 billion XP or whatever that number is that RS can't handle? Or has Gertjaars already gone over it?

How did you find it sad when Ghost died, he had zero character development, apart from he was basically just Gaz from CoD4 in a mask right down to the voice. I found it a lot harder to engage with the MW2 campaign because it moved really fast and had a lot of "wtf" random moments like Captain Price being alive, him setting off the nuke, suddenly switching to an astronaught, getting shot by General Shepherd, getting shot by Makarov, etc. Like multiplayer I think they took it too far with the all the crazy stuff. IDK maybe stop playing Barbie & Friends and they won't. Also you call us kids then talk about your school, fail.

OH NO! I ARE NOT TEH CONFORMINZ! SHOOT ME NAO! I prefer MW2 over CoD4, go cry to mummy. K, you must be one of those bad kids who benefitted from stuff like OMA/DC tubing. Really though you didn't need to respond like an asshat, I just wanted to know why.

You put MW2 second but not CoD4?

I forgot to mention the health system was a lot better in the first game, instead of the generic CoD style. Better variety of enemies in the first game as well, now its basically just Grims, Hybrids, advanced Hybrids, some Steelheads to piss you off, and those annoying guys with the shields.

The co-op mode is good but the online multiplayer was terrible. BS guns like the Wraith, [cabbage] killstreak reward style things like Ironheart, the special ammo which refilled the 40MM, LAARK/Pulse Gun etc. The biggest problem was that they basically removed all of the customisation in setting up your own servers, the best things about R1 was all the melee only servers/1hit kill carb/snipe/LAARK/Dragon only servers and stuff. The campaign was ok, not a patch on R1. They put in bad boss fights like the stupid swarm and T-Rex thing and stuff, took out the weapon wheel, which for me was one of the thing that was so good about R1 campaign and why I took the time to collect all intel and finish it on superhuman. I mean in a game where the weapons are the funnest part, limiting it to 2 was a stupid idea. They obviously looked at the success of CoD4 and tried to copy it, they ruined the controls by making it so you had to press L1 to aim, made it 2 guns at a time like CoD, put in a bad class system, put in badly thought out killstreak rewards. In singleplayer there was bad character development and storytelling in general, in the abscence of a narrator you had to work everything out for yourself through intel and the radio broadcasts (which in fairness were pretty impressive). You can tell they rushed the graphics in areas as well, on the level where you have to bring the AA towers online you can look at the ground and see one of the worst textures ever of fields and stuff, even though your only 100 metres high. On one of the last levels theres a laughable moment where a guy is typing stuff in on a Chimeran control point and half his arm is in the pad, its pathetic. Similar to MW2, in parts it was a mixture of awesome highs and deep lows, e.g. the moment you walk out of the SPECTRE base and see Los Angeles burning with all the Chimeran battleships flying overhead, that was [bleep]ing amazing. Then getting given a Pulse cannon to fight the Kraken and seeing that they didn't put in a proper animation for sprinting with it, not so good. I liked the coop, that was the only thing I think they did better than R1, but no simple splitscreen coop in campaign? ffs. Also no vehicle missions, commandeering a Stalker and driving a tank through Trafalgar square was so epic in the first game. I'll probably get R3 when it goes down in price, unless they actually learn from the big mistakes in R2 and don't completely sell out to CoD.

If you bought a new Xbox since 18 months ago you should have no problems with it unless you give it really bad ventilation or something. Yeah, because the whole trophy crash thing didn't affect many people did it, just anybody who turned on their PS3 over a 2+day period. When the PSN crashed the first day MW2 was released the IW forums and internet in general was flooded with rage messages at Sony/IW. I know I would have been really pissed if XBL had crashed the first day of MW2, the hype and anticipation for the game was insane. I know first hand that it also crashed a lot the first few days WaW was out. And then theres the patches that have resulted in completely bricked systems. Sony kids often cry "OMG RROD" and thats kind of true if you have an old console, if you bought one now it would be fine. The first PS3s were also full of hardware issues, I know a guy who's 60GB PS3 crashed so much he bought a 360. Neither really have any hardware issues now, but the PS3 has had numerous issues with system updates and stuff. So ironically a new 360 is probably more reliable now. The party chat alone makes it better, unless of course you don't have any friends. Then theres the preferrential treatment the 360 recieves 90% of the time, the XBL marketplace which I think has something like 100s of times the content of the playstation store, even the small stuff like being able to hook up your iPod and play music whilst playing games, something the PS3 only has on a few games, I think Resistance and Warhawk have it, unsure of any others.

No. I saw a clip where the guy knifed him, then he spawned in the room right next to him multiple times. ? on MW2 or CoD4? Lol ever get put into one of those hacked 18 player FFA rust matches? You spawned inside somebodys head at the start of the match.

Seen as the DLC is the same price, maybe even less on 360 if you can get a good deal on the points, the only difference is that Activision is making you wait an extra month+. The only thing to support your statement is that theres a load of CoD4/MW2 licensed avatar and gamer picture crap on XBL that you could buy if you were so inclined. I don't know why you had to make this thread, its just going to end up in flaming and bad feeling. The forum felt a lot better after that PS3 vs 360 vs Wii thread died.

Yeah its balls. Its better on games like Domination, where each team tends to spawn on each side of the map, which usually results in a minimum of spawnkilling. I don't know how they could have got the spawn system so wrong seen as it was fine in CoD4.
