[Multiplatform] Modern Warfare 2. 50 THOUSAND RUSSES USED TO CHEAT HERE.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I've been waiting for this, because Infinity Ward is sure to deliver if their last effort is any indication. The Single Player was great, the AC-130 chapter especially. Fuck that Ferris Wheel shit though.

I could go on about the MP but I'm sure the entire Xbox Live crew remembers how much of a blast we had rolling people all day and night on that shit. Best MP experience since I first hopped on Gears with the crew. I hope we get another Shipment-esque map because that never stopped being funny. "OH GOD CALLIN IN MY TENTH CHOPPER".

Either way I fucking cannot wait for Call of Duty: Russ Stop Cheating 2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It doesn't have the same kick as having CoD in the front, but the title really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things anyway.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh man I can't believe I forgot about the noob tube. Now there's some shit that got old quick. Dudes running around with grenade launchers like a bunch of pricks. It's a good thing most of 'em had terrible aim.

Also reload glitching was the best thing ever. I don't think I've ever seen Skills so angry in my life. I like how it took me about five seconds to go from "well yeah why would you do that" to abusing it whenever I felt like it.

Most amazing jew boots

How is that a "sadly"? Don't get me wrong, we all loved the campaign and it was amazing. However, compared to the two plus months of all nighters we spent as a full crew playing online, the single player pales in comparison since you really only play through it once or twice.

Get in the spirit of multiplayer gaming, yo. Infinity Ward spent a great deal of time developing the MP aspect and it really showed.

Edit: Ahahah the title. Requesting the next one be 50,000 PEOPLE USED TO PLAY HERE...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't know about the crew but I know I'll be around for some shit today after I finish campaign.

It has MiG-29s in it! Game of the year.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

In other news, all that shit is pretty fucking sad. Oh IW, way to shoot yourselves in the foot before you even got out the door.

e: also hardcore team deathmatch more like HARDCORE TEAM CAMP WITH MY HEARTBEAT SENSOR HOLY SHIT i have never played a mode so boring in my life

How ya doing, buddy?

mspaint or it didn't happen

At this point I don't see why anybody would bother with Veteran unless they were in it for the achievements or just a masochist. I really don't have the energy to fuck around with getting shot once from any given direction killing me and forcing you to retry a second section fifty million times. There's a certain point at which things start to cut into the enjoyment factor of the game and that's one of them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In non IW-is-apparently-run-by-a-bunch-of-retards news, HOLY SHIT THE FAL. It's the like M-14 all over again. Only this time I'm killin niggas with extreme malice.

Also dying at people actually using the Riot Shield in MP. Russ and I had to team shank a dude because of that madness.

Hope to play with Garr and anyone else I haven't met up with sometime soon. (Aside from Desert, because he sucks)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, Special OPs is good shit. Especially the sniping in the snow mission, because apparently Mo0 and I are both blind.

"Alright Mo0 we're gonna snipe those guys on three, you ready?"
"Yeah."
"Alright 1, 2, 3."
"Shit I think there's another guy over there"
"What? Where?"
::surrounded by enemies and killed::

I thought the SP was alright. It was certainly less bullshit than MW1 (save for Favela, which was all bullshit, kinda like the TV station level in the first game). It had its moments, and it had MiG-29s, so it gets the thumbs up from me.

I was kinda concerned that

Spoiler:

IW was going to be a bunch of niggers and kill off the American team again because they're jerkbags (You can't kill off Keith David!), but then Price was all NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED and my face was all ='DDDDD because that was pretty cool.

Also snowmobiles lolololol

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think the best part is how close to the beginning that is. For a second they lull you into a false sense of security with this reasonable and quite manageable number of enemies/spawns in the previous missions then you step into this courtyard and literally in about all of five seconds it goes from "some enemies" to "NIGGERSEVERYWHERE NIGGERSEVERYWHERE NIGGERSEVERYWHERE NIGGERSEVERYWHERE HOW YOU GONNA ACT NIGGERSEVERYWHERE". I caught myself yelling "Come the fuck on man" at the TV before I finally decided to tone the difficulty down and be on my merry way, only to find out that I probably could have done the rest of the game on Vet without much fuss. Then again, I didn't even care at that point.

Fucking Infinity Ward.

e: Actually now that I think about it the whole Burger Town mission would have pissed me off significantly as well had I not changed difficulties.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It seems to me like

Spoiler:

they threw Makarov to the side when they had Shepard betray you because they couldn't think up a proper ending fast enough. To make up for this they played the whole "enemy of my enemy" card to have Makarov help you kill Shepard while he gets away so you can chase after him in Modern Grenades 3.

That and they wanted to kill off a protagonist for real this time (Roach and Gaz and that guy with the mask who sounded like Gaz) since they brought back Price.

Also those lines from the intro are still funny to this day. A++ would laugh again.

e: fuck yeah breaching, I could do that shit all day

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

Also it blew up in the upper atmosphere, not space?

I'd have to go back and watch again though, I was only kinda halfway paying attention there, thought it was a straight up cutscene.

e: yup

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

Well to be fair Ramirez, Keith David Foley and crew all take back Washington at the end of the game. You could see a bunch of green flares on roofs all over to indicate that they've pushed back the Russians. So they do get some kind of victory.

But yeah, they never get to do all the cool shit like Price and Soap do. And you know what? That's cool with me because Price is the baddest CoD dude of forever.

Random astronaut guys getting blown away was pretty damn funny, looking back at the whole thing.

FELIPE NO

Ahahaha, using the whole "Knife Class" thing with Marathon Pro/Lightweight Pro/Commando Pro is damn funny.

It's not useful 100% of the time but there's something nice about taking a break from the usual COD-style bullshit and just running around the map at super speed like an idiot and shanking everyone you come across. You can seriously lunge about ten feet through gunfire and still get people, it's ridiculous.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, people let their guard down like crazy when they think they've got the house locked down on Estate. It's so easy to come in through the basement or using the log pile in the back to reach the second floor and just clean house when you're doing the knife thing.

Also knife class works on EVERY MAP, you just have to learn the fine art of bob and weave. That or keep a silenced weapon to pull out on the off chance you get caught in a long distance fight with little cover. I use the Pistol/Tac Knife and a silenced M16. Works wonders, especially halfway through the game when people aren't expecting you to just sight up and shoot them in the head when they turn a corner a ways from you.

Additional Spam:
ALSO: Emergency Air Drops are the next best thing ever.

I was playing earlier with Kid/Vagrant Mugen and managed to rack up two Care Packages and an EAD, so I turn to him:

"Yo help me lock this area down I gotta drop this shit"
"aight dawg we got this"

We set up in an open parking lot, dump the signal grenades and take a knee. The EAD comes first and as we're picking them up the two regular Care Packages drop, and I turn just in time to see a big ass box fall out the sky and kill Kid. I could not stop laughing. If there is ever a kill-cam in this game I would actually want to watch, it would be that.

Can you imagine that shit, a big ass box coming down in slow-mo and hitting you right in the dome. I love MW2 more and more I play it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

AHAHAHA, oh wow. So the game lets you join your friends Mercenary Team Deathmatch lobbies when they're in pre-game mode which I thought they wouldn't allow since that defeats the point, but damn is it funny.

Mo0 and I did this for about an hour and a half, and while sometimes you end up on the other team it's still great because of Party Chat.

"Is that you running up this building?"
::runs all the way around and stabs Mo0 in the back::

When we did get on the same team (a lot) we would run around all KNIFE SQUADRON and EMERGENCY AIR DROP mode, fucking people up all day (I think I went 38-5 or something stupid with a Chopper Gunner a bunch of other shit). Bait-and-switch is the best tactic. Have one dude run through an area and have the second come in and stab everyone in the back when they come out of hiding to kill the first one, who usually makes it away because of the bullshit speed.

Shit, we even had a random third guy start doing the knife shit with us. This. game. There's so much to hate about MW2 but if you play it all the wrong ways it becomes the funniest thing in existance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I tried to focus on pistol kills to get the tac knife but that only ended up pissing me off more.

Too bad you can't get any knife bonus with the best gun in the game, the 1887 shotgun.

It took me a couple of days to get the Tac Knife. Sometimes I'd have to stop and shoot people instead of knifing them when I got the drop on them. It's a lot easier in Merc TDM though. Once you hit 50 and get Akimbo pistols it stops being such a pain to do.

Also, lmao 1887 shotgun. People running around with those in Akimbo mode is the most ridiculous looking shit I've ever seen in my life. It looks like a dude with two long ass twig arms when they're sprinting.

But I'm here all night tonight. Hit me up in chat and we'll roll on dudes.

E: I joined yesterday after you left Skills, stabbed Toku and Desert about a million times, and they told me about how you ragequit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is because being a white canadian male you don't speak the language.

I talked to him just fine! Something about purple, grits, and Skills leaving if I recall correctly.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

We had a problem like that only once the other day but since then it's pretty much been business as usual.

We usually play as groups of 2-3 though, so not sure how that compares to how many you bring.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's funny because Vagrant and I were playing this morning and somebody went "Why were the last ten kills knife kills?"

It never stops being fun. Ever.

I'm also learning to snipe, given the few rounds we've run into where knifing doesn't work.

But fuck yes, knives.

edit:

By contrast, in Modern Warfare 2 - a game which, whatever liberties it took during its narrative, is not actually science fiction - allows players of infinite stamina to teleport and murder people.

Ahaha, it's so TRUE. People using the knife build actually move so fast they skip movement animations, and lunge from impossible distances.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah. There's already a ton of dumb shit, like the Javelin glitch that turns you into a walking time bomb. As the the airdrop thing they're calling it the Infinite Care Package glitch.

I haven't encountered any of that though. I have however, run into someone who glitched into the rocks in Afghan.

FELIPE NO

You prep a Semtex grenade and switch back to the Javelin instead of throwing it and you explode like a Predator Missile when you die, basically.

Switching weapons or climbing objects (ladders, ledges, etc) resets it, so all you can do is knife until you die. Apparently it's hella effective, especially with Danger Close. Haven't tried it myself.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I haven't seen any rapidfire glitches, but then again most people shooting at me tend to get stabbed, so.

Also is THAT what people are doing on Highrise? I see people just kinda haphazardly jumping off all the time and I either shoot em or stab em.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
