But try headshots on the console... and especially in previous cods it was so much easier to just spray the body

Ahh, that makes sense. But I don't do console shooters =/
I don't have an xbox/ps3 anyway.

So you quckscope while aiming for the head? That is just...well retarded. You hardly take any time to precision aim and you go for a target 5 pixels wide compared to the 25 a torso would be (for example that is). And in cod it's not needed to headshot.

But yeah if you can succesfully headshot people while quickscoping then props to you =p On purpose that is, sure I headshot people too but that's just luck while aiming for them.

My brother is playing atm =\ So I'm not.. Since he bought it.. And I'm a little ancy to get on. A few things I noticed with Graphics were the Guns look like they have improved graphic wise. And Environment doesn't look as terrible as I thought it would. Textures seem sharper as well, which over all I like em as much as Mw2 Graphics. idk why. It's just appealing.
And Omg so far from what I've seen in multi-player, not nearly as much camping going on as Mw2.

[Miguez]

Level 30 now, loving it, keep getting triple kills with my RC-XD :p

I've started to use the PM63 and I love it but I miss my pink star reticle

[Key-J]

So i finished the MP, a little sad that they

Spoiler!

didnt do a "special finishing" like MW1 and MW2, i mean even BFBC2 had one, and no i dont count drowning as a special finish.

I did enjoy the game though, going through all the flashbacks was cool, i got to say the level where you are

Spoiler!

just chilling with the boat while woods and bowman are your RPGs

is really fun especially with the music. I got to say i didn't like the

Spoiler!

helicopter fighting, i felt it was difficult to control the enemy chopper was always above you, and that shit was just not fun

. All in all though, did have fun, did have a diverse story and i enjoyed it.

Anyway, back to mp to pwn some noobz. Nearly lvl 40

[MrJoey]

Every game I play, my teammates are completely retarded... Trying to get hardline pro, and have 4-5-6 killstreaks set up (SAM, care package, sentry gun). I can drop all three right where my team is spawning, and all of them run off ignoring the packages... I get at least the first two just about every game, despite that, I've only got 4 share packages towards the challenge.

Lol Campers are worse than mw2. they're whole team camps together...

Yeah I know what you mean man, I guess I will give away chopper gunners or I'll never get the frikkin challenge.

@Key-J: Yeah I love the vietnam music, it's awesome.

[LillDev!l]

Sigh, played online for the first time today....
And it sucks.
Its nearly impossible to join a game with 3 players.
EVERYONE CAMPS, they're behind every damn cover point, so playing agressively = sure death.

The winning killcams lag as hell, the servers have lag spikes, the damage registration online isnt great yet either, it obiously mixes up some hits (grenade blows up in face > hitmaker > few more bullets, hitmarkers too).

I've been getting negative kd's with my try-hard pants on.
People from my clan got positive, but just coz they were camping / slightly patroling aswell, its the only way to get a positive ratio it seems.

EDIT: i cannot join 9/10 servers either, unless through a friends invite (if not invited i cannot join either).
Then when finaly in a game (versus both my clan members again).
All the servers go ofline... T_T

Bullet penetration doesnt work yet either it seems.
Unless its ment to be impossible without hardened.

NoNO! I don't do quickscoping, it bores me. I do hardscoping.

[Miguez]

One thing that pisses me off is how there can only be one heli on the air at a time. EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET MY CHOPPER GUNNER THERES A COBRA IN THE AIR AND THEN WHEN IT FINALLY LEAVES AND I GET TO CALL MY CHOPPER THE GAME IS OVER FFS

Sure you're talking about the right game here?

[maxietheboss]

I think it absolutely astonishing that they even thought about releasing the game in this broken state. Games like MW2 and blackops have been the first steps into the grave of pc gaming, amongst other games. Arrogantly porting games from consoles to the pc and thinking the community will accept it isn't the right way to do it. PC is ofcourse still superior for RTS and MMORPGS. Unless they quickly fix the multiplayer on the pc I think I might've as well burned 50 euro and still have had as much fun. The hit registration online is quite terrible at the moment on the pc, and now every server is down and no one can get past the fetching stats or downloading game data anymore. I've lost levels/challenges/contracts/CP several times now.

[Miguez]

I still giggle at CP.

"It has so many problems I lost all my cp"

Invalid rant, it has ALWAYS been one chopper in the air at a time, care package choppers are the only exception, those can have 3 at a time I think.

[FliiipZ]

So what are the best weapons atm?

Get with the times. FPS companies dont care about PC anymore.

PC Multilayer still has issues from the game itself, they tried to fix this by a little patch they did and increasing the Server Side Packet capacity, but it still has issues.

I did notice it got better with more playing, and there are certain servers i jump into with 30 fps and some with 60 fpt... If you want to display your fps ingame, pull up your console with ` and type cs_drawfps 1.

Yes i also hate how NO one is sharing my damn Care Packages, im still at 0/10.. Im trying to be nice here ffs. and i've had some contracts say complete, and then when i go to change my contract it says i havent done it yet.

Meh, im still enjoying game

[William-CL]

In MW2, I couldn't keep ppl off my dam packages... I find it kind of ironic that now that there is a contract in BO for them, no one takes them.

[MrJoey]

Not a contract, but a challenge in order to get hardline pro.

[Key-J]

I managed to share 3 in a game. All i had to do was say "Free Care Package!"

I mean sure, one was a Mortar the other a Sentry and the other a Counter Spyplane, but still they got taken ..

Had i seen a Helo or Dogs, **** no that bitch is mine!

[Toasty]

I'm on 5 packages stolen so far.


Taking a while. :/

[William-CL]

I'm a Noob, idk the diff lol. haven't had a chance to play yet =[

lolwut I'm not talking about having two chopper gunners in the air, I'm talking that if you have any 7 killstreak cobra in the air you can't call your chopper or gunship, whereas in mw2 you could have atleast two harriers + whatever the fack you wanted. and since now you have no harrier a chopper in the air is very common.

Maps are smaller.

But this is good anyway.. it means people dont camp and hide whenever someone has a killstreak.

I'm sure people used to complain about stuff like this. Then when it gets changed they moan that the game has changed.

[LillDev!l]

The matches i played after the last one earlier on were a bit better, less camping.

I do still hope they'll put in a friends system for the PC soon though... its kinda worthless how it is now.
And the 'not being able to join' certain servers stuff too ^^

Besides that, i do like the 'feel' of the game a lot, it just has a few things left to fix.

[Miguez]

I don't know it's just annoying that when you get a good killstreak you can't use it...


Just lost my third Chopper Gunner because of this.

[MrJoey]

If I get a lobby that votes for nuketown 3+ times again, I'm going to rage...

[[Orphen]]

If I get a lobby that votes for nuketown 3+ times again, I'm going to rage...

If I get a lobby that votes for nuketown more than once in a row I just start mic spamming Johnny McGovern.

[Skyve]

If I get a lobby that votes for nuketown 3+ times again, I'm going to rage...

QFT.

It's not even that good of a map Actually, I hate it.

[Key-J]

I personally love Nuketown, there is just too much action to deal with, but yeah 1nce in like 10 maps is good, 3 times in a row is suck
