Yeah Blind Eye keeps you safe from any AI. But you'll still get killed by HK Drones/Swarm (well pretty much anything) if you're in the splash radius of it when a teammate get's attacked by it. Also, the Warthog is actually a stupid killstreak. A lot like the Strafe Run in MW3. Only works on really open maps like Carrier, Nuketown, maybe Grind.

I've actually never really had to worry too much about any killstreaks in BO2 killing me too often. I don't know if it's because i play on PC, and there are only a handful of really good PC players, but most times when i get killed by a Killstreak its an HK drone, Lighting Strike or Hellstorm. So many people stopped using Sentries because of how OP the EMP nades are. Those are about the highest killstreaks people run in the games i've played as well. Every now and then, probably 1 in 10 games, i'll run into someone that manages to get like an AGR, Stealth Chopper on Escort Drone. I think in the ~400 hours play time i have on BO2 i can count on one hand the amount of times i've seen someone get a Swarm/Dogs/Warthog/Vtol. Not worth it building a class for those 1 in 10 situations.

I've never really had such a bad issue with connection on BO2. I play on PC, not sure if that makes any difference. I get the occasional game where i'm up against people with 150+ ping vs my ~70 ping and i'd get screwed out of a kills due to lag comp, but doesn't happen all that often. It is annoying though. Getting at least 2 hitmarkers on the guy before he even starts shooting, only to get dropped by him in an instant. I've had some trouble connecting to the CoD servers past few days, so today i decided to play some MW3. One of the first games i played was on Parish. Really love that map. I run pretty low streaks (Pred, Attack Chopper, Reaper). I realized just how useless any form of streaks are in MW3. UAV is useless cause everyone uses Assassin, Air Support is useless because it either gets you no kills, or it gets shot down before it even appears on the map. I managed to get 1 kill with my Reaper, and have it up for about 10 seconds before it got shot down. I feel like that's one thing Treyarc managed to do right. They made Air Support in BO2 fairly decent. I've never had a Stealth Chopper/Escort Drone shot down that fast, nor have i ever had one up without it getting me at least one kill.

Hi guys :D It's been a while since i really posted here, mostly because for the past few weeks i've "taken myself out of the game" to focus on myself for a bit. As self-centered as that sounds, it's actually done me a lot of good. A few weeks ago i mentioned something about me and my ex talking again, and that she said when i move back to Doha, and get job, me, her and her friends should get a house together. Although i didn't really even consider doing it, it was nice to think that if i wanted to get back together with her the possibility was there. And i enjoyed this though, because i thought i still had a lot of love left for her. Thought. A few days ago me and my sister were talking on the phone and she mentioned seeing my ex at a club on night. My ex has never been th clubbing type, so i already knew this was not going to end well. She told me about how my ex was so drunk she had some stability issues. She was talking at the top of her voice, pretty much acting like a 13 year old girl who sneaked into her parents' liquor cabinet. For some reason this really changed the way i thought of her. When i met her, one of the key reasons i grew to love her was because, even though she was so much different than me, we shared a lot of the same things. I was not a big drinker when i met her, nor was i really fond of drugs. She was the same. But the past few months she changed so much that, when we're talking on Skype she's either high, drunk, or both. She mentions getting drunk/high in probably 80% of whatever she posts on FaceBook. So needless to say, my feelings towards her have changed a lot and i think we would be best suited as being "just friends". So a few days after this, i catch a girl online on FB, while i was uploading some pictures for my friend. We started talking (first time in about 2 or 3 months). I asked her if she still remembered the first day we met. We started talking about it, and how we had a bit of a moment when the two of us were alone in an elevator. This was about a year ago. I remember wanting to kiss her, but never having the balls to do so. She went on to say how it was probably better, since she was very good friends with my sister, she knew my ex, and i am 5 years younger than her. I asked her if age really mattered to her, and she said yes, because most guys my age only want one thing (hah, actually most guys do). I told her what i really wanted from relationships, and that sex doesn't play as big a role to me as most people would think. She seemed a bit surprised and a few minutes later said "Well, either way, i think when you get back home we should meet up." There was a lot of playful, flirty conversation between the two of us, and i am excited to see her when i go back home end of this month. Now lastly, and this is probably the part where i might need some sort of input. Don't know if any of you still remember, but a few weeks ago i mentioned liking a girl here, that kind of had a thing with my friend. We have had a few texts sent back and forth the past week or so. She's very tough to get a hold of since most of our conversations have been on FB, and she does not check FB very often (at all). So today i sent her a message asking her how her weekend was. Me and my friends were supposed to see them on Saturday night when we went out, but we never did because we decided to stay home and just have a BBQ instead. She told me how hers was, and asked me how mine was. Nothing too special. Thing is, i want to spend some time with her before i go back home for a while. So i told her i have something to ask her, so when she gets the message i sent her on FB, she should send me a text message and i'll go ahead and ask her. Now my idea was one of two things. Either ask her to have a drink with me (be it alcoholic or just coffee) or to have a meal with me (me it dinner or lunch). Now this is where the trick comes in. Coffee and lunch are two extremely different things to drinks and dinner. With drinks/dinner one would assume that it's going to be in the evening, and doing things in the evening often lead to other expectations, afterwards. This is the last thing i want her to think. She is a very pretty girl, gets a lot of attention. So i don't want her to get the idea that i'm going to take her out, hope to get her a tipsy and then try to pull a fast one on her. But i don't want her to think that i'm taking her out for lunch/coffee because i want to be her bff, either. It might seem like i'm over thinking things, but really this is just the reality of what i have come to notice about girls around here. But with all of that said, what would be the better option? Or anything else that i am not thinking of (no cinema, because it's foolish to take someone to the cinema when you want to have a conversation with them).

Yeah that's actually all i needed, Select Fire. I mean, i had a few decent games with it without it, but since getting it it became a lot better. It really is one of those "love it or hate it" guns. Either you do really well with it or really bad. Sometimes it takes me 4 - 5 bursts to get a kill, sometimes it takes me 2. I guess it really just depends on connection. But i now use it with Quickdraw, Selectfire and Extended Clip. I started using Quickdraw on all my guns about a week ago and now it's really hard for me to play without it. On a slightly different note, i managed to get my 3rd Gold SMG. MSMC and Peacekeeper should be next as i am pretty close with both of them. Not sure why i never worked on getting Diamond SMGs earlier. It's actually not that hard. More of an annoyance running around with no perks/attachments. But it's fun. Should be able to get Diamond SMGs before i hit the next Prestige (which will also be Master, haha).

Yeah. Is that not a normal thing?

Don't know how people can do well with that gun. I started using it the other day and it feels like i have to put 4 or 5 bursts in someone before they die. I struggle a lot to go positive with that gun. Think best i've gone with it was something like 25 - 10 using lethals.

I actually bought about 20 games the last month or two. Been a very boring past few weeks haha. One of the best ones i got is The Witcher 2. It's pretty damn cool, and actually very challenging. I started off playing on the highest difficulty but the combat is so insane even in the very beginning of the game, i would often get two or three hit. It's still very fun though.

I won't lie it was a lot easier for me to adjust to aiming on PC. Aiming with a mouse is really easy once you get used to it. I also find that the ability to customize your key-layout makes most other things a lot easier (like dropshotting, jumpshotting, panic knifing, etc.). When i play i hardly have to move a finger to do what i need to do.

That video makes me miss Console CoD. I feel like on PC players are a lot better in general. Sure, i'm not the greatest player. Probably just above average if that, but keeping a 1.0+ can be a real challenge sometimes. I remember back on console, when i finally fixed my connection problems, i would get chopper gunners and dogs every other game, if not every game. On PC i struggle to get a Sentry on BO2 sometimes. Pubstomping just seems to be so much easier on xBox :\

3:15 am and i just watched the trailer of this game. Considering going to an ATM, making a deposit in my account, and buying this game right now :S

The thing with him is... he's i guess a bit jealous. A few months ago i used to be in his shoes. I didn't talk to girls, and i would [bleep] and whine about them constantly. Then something obviously changed and i now talk to who i want when i want. He doesn't though. So often when we go out i'll "ditch" him for a few minutes so i can go talk to some girls. I always used to tell him to come with and talk to the girl's friend or something, but he always either made excuses or he would end up just standing there not saying a word and make things a bit awkward. And the funny thing is he thinks because he's 5 years older than me he get's to call the shots. Like when we were in Vegas together i met these two girls. Both extremely attractive. One was Canadian and the other one was... somewhere in Europe (i forgot). I was going for the blond Canadian girl, as she is the one i initially met at the pool that day. I told him by all means he can go for the other one (brunette). All was fine until later that night when all of a sudden he thought it was his right to choose for me. So he told me there was something about the blond girl he found a bit more attractive, so now he wants her, and i should take the brunette. In all honesty i could not have given a flying [bleep] in February because both of them were really hot. It just pissed me off that he thought he had the right to choose when i was the one that had to do ALL the right work. He tried doing this a few times in the past too but i told him to go [bleep] himself. He does turn into a bit of a [bleep] when it comes to girls. But when no girls are involved he's the coolest guy around. He's my bro. We've helped each other out a lot. He just get's on my nerves when it comes to girls because he's totally clueless as to what goes on around him. Anyway he is supposed to leave in about a week or two, and i was thinking i could just wait till he leaves before i do something. He's gonna go back to England and chances are him and this girl won't really keep contact much after that anyway, since it's kind of hard to keep in touch with her as it is.

I really hate judging people, and generally when it comes to a ~20 year old single mother people tend to judge. Or even worse, people try to justify her having a kid by saying "everyone makes mistakes" like the kid was some sort of mistake. Now this girl has a kid, and i honestly never thought i would be even vaguely in to someone with a kid. Mostly because of my conservative upbringing, and also because i don't want to raise someone else's kid. But for some reason with her i really don't care that she has a kid. She's an extremely responsible parent, and that is a quality that makes her even more attractive. As for talking to my friend about this... I'm not really sure how to do it. He thinks that he's god's gift to women, in some way. I once mentioned that i'm willing to bet i could get in to this girl's pants before he can. He of course laughed it off, told me she would never go for a guy like me, she's way too in to him, etc. He's very jealous and competitive with me for some reason. Whenever i tried hooking up with a girl for the past month or two he would always [rooster] block me by telling me that "Oh, x-girl is here tonight" while i was talking to a girl. She of course would ask who this girl was and he would pretty much say something along the lines of "Oh, that's a girl he's been [bleep]ing for a while". It's happened a few times the past two or three weeks and i spoke to him about it and he says he's just "messing around". This is kind of why i feel like i don't owe him anything anymore. Why i feel like if i think this girl has a thing for me, then i should just go for it.

Input might be needed. So here's how it happened: Me and my mate went out on Saturday night. There's this girl he's had a "thing" with for a while now. And when i say a "thing" i mean they text each other now and then. But a few months ago they were a lot closer than they are now. They never actually went on an official date, but he was really in to her (and still kind of is). She has a kid though, so she often blows him off, doesn't reply to texts, doesn't answer when he calls, etc. She kind of does this to everyone though. So anyway, we're out and she sends him a text asking what he's up to. He tells her, of course, and she says that she was going to stop by and say hi. We were just about to leave because the place was closing and by the time she got there we were walking back to my car. So we ended up standing in the parking lot for an hour talking. But here's the thing... That entire hour she was talking to me. We were making jokes and teasing each other. My friend kind of just stood there and said a few words now and then. She would get very touchy with me as well, while we were talking. Often punching my arm, or pushing me, in a joking way. Or sometimes just put her hand on my arm while talking to me. Now the same thing happened a few weeks ago to, while we were out at a bar. She spent the whole night sitting next to me and every now and then i would feel her leg brush against mine, or she would put her hand on my leg when talking to me. I didn't really think much of it that night, to be honest. The two of us seem to click really well. So anyway, on Saturday night we eventually had to say bye (actually i told her i was tired and i wanted to get to bed and i couldn't be bothered spending another hour standing in a parking lot). She came over to me (i was sitting on the hood of my car) and pulled me off so i could hug her. She hugged me and put her head on my chest. She then walked over to my friend, hugged him and walked off. Now here's the problem. I have grown to kind of like her over the past few weeks. We had a few very deep conversations about why she's been such a "[bleep]" towards my friend (by not texting back/answering calls). I told her i knew why she was doing it, and that i kind of understand why. Her kid needs to be #1, and she can't afford to fall inlove with a guy that's bound to leave in a few months. Me on the other hand... she see's me more like a "Mr. Rightnow" as pathetic as that sounds. Also, there's the fact that i don't act like other guys. Most guys want sex, and pretty much only sex. Me on the other hand... sex isn't such a big deal to me, and she knows that somehow. Maybe it's because i am able to talk to any girl at a bar without caring about getting her number, or taking them home with me. Anyway to get back to business. I know that things between her and my friend are never going to go anywhere. Knew it from day one, and also told him this. Of course, he never listened. But her behavior towards me the past few weeks makes me feel like i'm not just a friend of a friend to her. But i am not sure what i should do about it. My friend is likely to leave in a week or two. I don't have her number so it's likely that i won't see her often at all after that. Also i'm not sure if i'm going to be a dick if i do in fact try to make a move.

I've got 2 gold guns now. The PDW and the MP7. I actually stopped using the PDW at all since i never really likes it from the start. Not sure why i used it as much as i did previously. The PM7 is so much better. I like the faster firing SMGs so i tend to stick to the EVO, MP7 and VEKTOR. When it comes to ARs i guess the only one i really use now is the SCAR and on some rare occasions the AN94, but not as much anymore. I'm more of an SMG player since i'm that guy that doesn't give a crap about KDR and just rush the objective blindly. So i'm faced with cqc 90% of the time. I've been having a lot of fun sniping too though. The DSR is a monster. Been getting some really insane crossmap Quickscopes that would make any Optic/Faze member proud, even though they are mostly luck. 1 more bloodthirsty and i get the gold DSR, but it seems nearly impossible for me, haha. And as i say that, first game after posting this, i got it :D

My parents have been in town the last week, visiting me. We went to Disney World the other day and it was really amazing. We went on a few rides and i don't think i've ever heard my mom and dad laugh out of pure enjoyment the way they did that day. It was truly awesome. I also took them flying last night. It was an amazing thing to share with my parents. Also found out today that some guy that was in school with me died 2 days ago. He was a Flight Instructor at a school in South Africa. Him and what i assume was one of his students crashed into a lake/dam and both of them died. It's extremely scary when you hear about these things.

Anyone use the SCAR lately? Feels like it's really good now. I've been having good games with it constantly. I'm not an amazing player so i sometimes struggle to get a Bloodthirsty with any gun, haha. But with the Scar it feels liek whenever i use it i get at least one or two per game.

33 BILLION? Mother of god. Well i've never had a 33b bank all to myself before, i think most i had was around 13b and then i lost about 10b of it in one day (gave the other 3b to a friend before losing the 10).So i was basically down to nothing. I closed my laptop and pretty much couldn't log onto RS for about 3 or 4 days. But then i started playing again and realised how much more fun it was to have nothing because you had something to work towards then. RS is a lot more fun when you have very little.

Sat in front of the Laptop the entire weekend watching it. Sad that Optic had to lose against Fariko again. I don't really like Fariko because they seem to be a bit to cocky for my liking. But i guess after the impression they have made with the last three "major" competitions they deserve to be cocky. Parasite has a big future ahead of him. Scumpi and Nadeshot though, as always, played a great game (especially Scumpi). That 3-piece he picked up on the Aftermath SnD. It was amazing. Kind of got me back into BO2 again too, after taking about a month break from it. I'm happy Nuketown is now on PC too. I've been doing extremely well on it (for my standards). Had my best game on it just earlier. Went 76 - 34. I felt like a pro. I can see myself dropping my first 100+ on that map. All it takes is one good streak and i'll be on my way.

Why would this being diagnosed affect becoming a pilot? If it is found you have it then you've had it the rest of the time during your training/school. Well you're not supposed to fly when you have ADD since it might keep you from performing certain duties the way they should be performed. It can be controlled with medication, but those meds are usually not approved by the authorities. My main point is if you are shown to have it, then you have had it for a while. Therefore there should be no difference in your abilities or training as you have already proven that you can do it perfectly fine (so far as I am aware). Not how the system works, but how it should work. A sudden diagnoses shouldn't change the entire outlook upon you/abilities when without the diagnoses you would of been put through. Unless this is something an instructor noticed before you go to that point. Actually, i have to say i agree with you 100%. No one has ever been able to notice this of me whilst flying. The thing is though, the planes we fly are very simple compared to Airliners. We don't have half the instruments they have, and most of theirs are a bit more complicated to operate. So while i'm doing just fine now, flying a small 4 seater, things might drastically change when i'm put in a plane that carries 200 people with 400 different buttons and stuff. I'm not too worried at the moment though, because i've never really experienced any sort of attention deficit while flying. I actually feel like i'm way more focused when i fly than any other waking moment.

Turns out i might have ADD. If it's so, won't be able to be a pilot for a while.

Ive played about 150 hours of Skyrim over the past 3 weeks. I think about 20 hours of that is just me leaving my PC on idle while i do other things, but even still it's a lot of time spent. This game is awesome. One of the first games in a very long time i find my self captured by. Today i discovered my love for Conjuration after finally getting it to 90. The Dremora Lord is awesome. It totally wrecks in combat. I'm at level 63 at the moment and i am yet to touch the Companions Quests, but i hope it involves a lot of combat opportunities so i can make good use of the beast. For now i'm actually just trying to clear out as many of the dungeons as i can, trying to level up some other skills slowly. I made some Daedric weapons earlier (Bow, 2x Sword, 2x Daggers) but i can't really see myself using anything but the daggers for sneak attacks to be honest. I am playing on Expert difficulty and i've not yet run into any situations that gave me too much of a headache so using weapons and armour that's as good as Daedric might just really kill the game for me right now. Besides, i think Blades Armour and Sword looks so cool that it makes up for the lack in stats :D

I think this thread has lost the "Advice" part a long time ago. Only on very rare occasions do people actually want advice. This is more of a way for people to vent about relationships and discuss them. Well, more than people wanting advice anyway.
