[Multiplatform] Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. God Damn it russ, stop cheating.

I picked this up this morning and have had a chance to play a little bit of it. As I expected, the campaign mode is shaping up to be lame, but since somebody here said the multiplayer was so good, I figured I would pick it up and see. I played one match and got some kills, so we will see how it goes once I start playing with GFF people.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In terms of presentation, yeah, it is interesting, but in terms of actual gameplay, why can I not take cover when everyone else can?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm guessing the do as if you lose all your equipment you'll need a way to unlock things like the red-dot sights, etc.

I haven't decided about prestige mode yet. Honestly, I am so locked into the G3 right now that I'm simple not sure if I could switch back to a less precise killing instrument. And with Mass Effect coming in a week, I will probably be putting less time into this, at least for a bit, so I don't know that I would want to give up my weapons. Maybe once I have played through Mass Effect once, and can put more time into Call of Duty, I will do the prestige mode. That, or I will just wait until my Kill/Death ratio is comfortably above 1.00 enough that I can absorb some bad games en route to level 25 and the G3.

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

The G3 is the most awesome gun on the game for people whose play style is more about precision than spamming bullets through walls and whatnot. When I hit level 25, my kill/death ratio was in the Mo0 range of .60 - .68. Now I am something like level 46 with a kill/death of .95, which includes an absolute bullshit round last night where I had a 5/22. With the exception of last night, during which more bullshit was going on than I can even understand, at least during the public match that I played, the G3 + Stopping Power is a two shot shot kill, unless the target has Juggernaut turned on. Then it is a three shot kill. I will frequently two-shot people's legs to kill them. I know that they are mad when they watch the kill cam and see this. Last night I was putting 4 shots into people with the G3 and not killing them. I was royally pissed off about that. The main downfall that the G3 has is that if you happen to find yourself in close quarters with an enemy, if that enemy has weapon with a high rate of fire, he will almost always win. If you're a run and gun person, the G3 isn't for you. If you are a supreme flanker, the G3 may be the gun for you. For example, on the Countdown map, bad teams camp the hangers, good teams have four guys keep their attention to one side while sending a pair of flankers around to pick their exposed flank apart with beautiful precision.


And Team GFF? There is so little strategy being discussed in the typical Team GFF game that anyone simply eavesdropping on the voice chat would expect us to get destroyed every time out. The fact is that the worst person that Team GFF will run out there on a full six man team will rate out as an "average" player kind of bodes well for our chances, especially since all the GFF people I have played with seem to understand what is going on, and don't run around like idiots. And the fact that most of us have played together a lot, on this game and other games, and you don't really have much need to talk about anything further than fried chicken, or the weird sounds that Kostaki is making when he gets shot, or Jap mode's Fire Emblem progress. Also, it helps that Skills, Tails, Iwata, and Omagnus are all really good.

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

I don't know, the Desert Eagle + stopping power packs a hell of a punch and is pretty fast. I would say that I am fairly attached to stopping power, but I guess I should test it to see if affects the number of shots needed to kill a target before I eliminate the possibility of switching away from it. I've also had instances where the G3 didn't seem to be penetrating a wall, and I really needed to eliminate a sniper behind said wall, so I whipped out that big chrome piece and handled business. He was probably mad.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh shit, Achievement Unlocked - Mile High Club 20G. God it was intense. I don't even remember how I got through the bottom floor, that is how intense the top floor was for me. I was running low on time, so I flashed that asshole hallway and blinded myself in the process, so I ran through, shooting blindly, got to the end and shanked the shotgun guy, saw that I had less than two seconds left to trigger the hostage. I sprint, it triggers.

So there I am, excited about just having gotten this far, because I had been working on it for a long time.

Slow motion. Whip out the pistol. OUT OF AMMO. RELOAD. TIME RUNNING OUT.

I see his forehead.

SPLATTER.

Achievement Unlocked.

I blind ran the asshole hallway.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
