you know how some air support doesent count to you're killstreak. If most of the kills comes from airsupport does that mean it would take more than 25 kills to get the nuke?

[XMoshe]

I think they fixed all those bugs with ks not counting etc.

[MrJoey]

Can I add you MrJoey, pretty please...

Go for it.

Guh, 2 people from forums added me so far on PSN, one from Europe, one from Australia... Someone from USA add me damn it!

PSN is SSchi

Don't hate on us Aussies

I do like to tease a few Aussie friends I have for being Australian... Otherwise I don't hate on the country, it's just kind of impossible to have a decent ping for one or the other when it's USA + Aussie trying to play together.

Wasn't it just the Pavelow that did that? The way to beat it was to call it in, then get a kill before it did, then the Pavelow's kills would count towards kill streaks. I dunno if that's still how it is.

Also, trying out this new set up I came across. Apparently there's a bug with the attachable shotguns. Since they don't have their own range like the other shotguns do, they work off of the ARs range. So a shotgun on a FAL is pretty pro at long distances.

Are you serious? I gotta try that.

I thought it was killstreaks that came from care packages that didn't count.
My brother used Attack Helicopter/Pavelow/Nuke and got it.

And I'll have to try that shotgun set up =] Hardly anyone uses shotguns lol. I'll use a shotgun Attach with a Machine pistol so I don't have to carry a spas or rangers.

It's just kind of impossible to have a decent ping for one or the other when it's USA + Aussie trying to play together.

Tell me about it lol, I have one friend in Australia and whenever we play, he is usually the host for some reason and we can tell because everyone else in the match besides him has yellow or even red ping.

First time in my life that I got like 5/6 kills with a harrier strike lol...Spawntrapping on C at Afghan ftw!

That is so horrible with a predator missile sometimes lol, because those tiny barriers block it =[
I'm thinking of trying to go for Red Carpet (Stealth Bomber 6 kills) spawn trapping at C in Afghan.

[XMoshe]

Oh I got my pred, triple kill. harrier, overkill and then my stealth bomber for like another overkill xD didn't unlock the red carpet though so meh )=

[Snazzi]

Lols, my bro got Omnicide on wasteland with a predator, and I lold when it happened, coz it looked like he was only going to get like 2 kills.

@Joey. Yeah, the connection is always bad for me, and I'm alwaaayyysss on red / yellow bars. Except in Moshpit during the arvo.

[William-CL]

I got omnicide in Favela without a Killstreak lol. It was intense. FMJ + Ump45/Stopping Power is bomb. It was in a ground war domination with them spawn trapped at A

I'm curious, what is the most annoying way to die? IE: mine is getting knifed from behind by LW/Ninja people, even more so when they have a tactical knife.

For me, the worst way to die is being shot with a grenade or rocket and its completely random. I was on a kill streak in wasteland i think, and i die from a random explosion. I watch the kill cam and the guy literally just aimed in the air and shot a grenade. It flew half way across the map and killed me.....

[Snazzi]

Probably most kills lol. (Only coz of the shit connection) But other than them, probably being knifed lols. Especially when I'm going really well, and about to get a chopper gunner or something lol. And what Fury said.

Lucky rocket launcher kills ...

[XMoshe]

I love randomly firing my noobtube and getting kills xD Same with throwing knife, and how weird it might sound I like getting killed by one from across the map, it's a nice killcam then =D

Most annoying guys are the Marathon/Lightweight/Commando ones, seriously they lunge at you from across the map. And ofcourse when you die and you see in the killcam the guy just spawned behind you, shitty spawnsystem sigh.

[LillDev!l]

Most annoying way to die : Shoot some1 in the chest with intervention FMJ + stopping power, get the hitmarker, but your enemy doesnt die, and knifes you xD

Or just being thrown in the face with a flashbang or so xD

On a sidenote: im using Sentry guns again now, for a while.
They're fun, and underrated

[XMoshe]

Lol yeah that sucks too, or you get like a 180 no scope hitmarker with FMJ/stopping power...and then they just knife or shoot you blegh, stupid game.

[William-CL]

Getting killed by someone in Final or last Stand after you shoot em in the chest with a sniper =\
Or getting hit marker on a sniper/someone with painkiller, who then turns and shoots you so fast before you can press the trigger again.. lol And another.. Shot during weapon reload or change =\

It's worse when your just running by when it happens to explode lol

I also hate being first blood kill lol

[XMoshe]

I'm always shooting the barrels since I saw a vid of some guy who used them as time bombs xD I do get kills of them sometimes and it cleans them up for the next time I'm going to that place.

[Nick Invaders]

The most annoying deaths for me are when I go around the corner guns blazing with my mini-uzi, then I get knifed from like 10 feet away by a guy with commando. Somehow it seems to happen to me like every other game >.<

[VeniVidiVici]

Most shitty death I've got was a no scope over the whole map in afghan, getting a hitmarker and then getting blown up by a noobtube.
I was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. /ragequit

[alexkyler]

Saw a super hacker today lol, he was pwning throw buildings, like there was no wall.

[woutR]

My friends just bought this... and I bought it as well

Noobtubes, noobharriers/missiles/ 1 hit machine guns/ 1 hit knives - noob galore; here I come

Airsupport is not a problem anymore, maybe for 25 and under..Just stay out their line of sight or use Cold Blooded and why shouldn't knives 1hit?

[woutR]

Knives shouldn't one hit because it takes all skill out of close combat. Just sprint 'oh shit someone in front of me' and knife. It requires no aim, no skill, I think it's a bad addition to the game.
You can't quickly stop reloading a gun either. You can switch back and forth but that takes ages. Same goes for if you want to switch weapon, takes too long.

Like I got sniper but the automatic pistol on second. Some noob charges me and I evade, but getting the pistol takes too long and I have to die to someone less skilled.
The game would fare better under larger health pools and faster switches of weapons. (For the PC) But that's what I meant when I said the game is tuned for Xbox. Xbox has severe limitations compared to PC gaming, most notably aiming. So the game has very high damage from guns (or low health pools) to accommodate for the poor aiming you have on consoles. But I knew what I got myself into when I bought it, so I'm hoping I can adapt and come out on top again.

Have to say though that my new experiences with this game put a solid 2/1 KD/R in a whole different light than before. There's just so much random stuff that it's a lot harder to be consistent in stats.
I have at least 4/1 KD/R in cod1&2, so I was very disappointed at first to realize that I am barely capable of 2/1.

[XMoshe]

Well you can't just spawn that sniper to your back now can you, although I do agree sometimes it's really slow. Some guy gave a tip to switch to your secondary once when you spawn then the next time you'll whip it out faster but I don't know how true it is, using mostly pistols as secondary now and those are always fast.

And meh I'm at like a 1.18 k/d since like for ever haha xD Sometimes I get great matches with 6-10 to 1 and other matches I barely keep it 1/1

[MrJoey]

It's somewhat true depending on if the gun needs to be cocked. PP2000 goes through a small action where you slide the bullet in on the first time you use it. If you switch to it right away, it'll skip that next time.

[William-CL]

And meh I'm at like a 1.18 k/d since like for ever haha xD Sometimes I get great matches with 6-10 to 1 and other matches I barely keep it 1/1

I'm the same way lol. Mine is at 1.20 though and it keeps increasing. I rarely get below a 1/1 now. Been getting better and using small bursts when shooting long range with SMG since i use those often. If you hold it down it'll often get you killed when shooting a long range lol.
