Call of Duty thread: always bet on Black. OPS. Unless it sucks

Yeah that is 3,4,5 but yeah there are different things in that. I should say I run Spy Plane, Counter and Napalm Strike/Care Package depending on the map for my support role.

GGs tonight, I was just trying out different things with the M21 to see how it would work. That last match that the clan played against us they actually had a guy on our team boosting for them. That is why they rage quit directly after the match, they were cheating and still got owned. It didn’t help all I did was follow that green arrow around and kill them everytime they tried to cheat.

Team Scrambler is funny, but you shouldn’t say you’re gonna do it in the lobby, and you can’t do it against a team that you play a few times back to back. The reason is that a HBS will completely wreck your shit.

I usually run 345, though for a while I ran UAV/CP/Sentry, and my normal is really 3-7-9.
UAV/CUAV is great on SRK rush teams…really opens teams up.

When I go against a team that likes to run it or a hardline UAV user, I swith to a CB class instead of being the only person trying ot shoot them out the sky, people get too reliant on the red dots to see me shrug

  • :bluu:

Forget red dots. I don’t even look at the radar. I listen to footsteps!!!

So SRK ran team Scrambler and I wasn’t there? Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…I’m so disappointed.

Nothing’s better than a 3,4,5 (UAV/CUAV) with Hardline class and add Scrambler to that. So annoying lol.

As of lately I’ve been rolling 5,7,9 or 5,7,8 with 6 players, in ground war I always stick to 3,4,5.

I’m rocking 7/11/25 right now, before MW3 gets here I want to get a nuke. I’ve done better as I’ve changed my menatlity a bit working towards it, but until I can get actual KILLS out of an AC130 or chopper gunner - it does me NO good at all.

On my way to work this morning I was thinking of this setup I used for a bit, I had an OMA toob class, an OMA snipe class, and a OMA riot shield class. I was using it primarily on Karachi, I’d hop into that ‘hole’ in the building, clay/C4 the side and snipe/tube people in the alley. When I felt the heat turn on GTA style, I’d switch to the riot shield class and hide in a corner, I’d survive 90% of anything anyone did to me that way. Things calm down…I go back to tubing/sniping. The flaw with it was I was doing TDM - so people just stopped going that way and its actually a pretty quiet spot 80% of the time as people prefer the llong alley ways to the cent of the map for Karachi.

But then I started thinking about Hotobu’s ‘asshole-mode’ that I’ve seen him do and it made me think a bit more out the box with OMA riot shield. I’m still marinating on spots, but you can essentially find a high traffic area like the upper floor of Run Down - clay it and then simply camp behind the clay, they can’t run past it and invariably set it off even running MLC…I’ve watched him do it on the other side of the map before. This should work in the bookstore at the airport, Salvage has a few spots I think it could prove effective, stil ltrying to think of some more spots, any ideas?

  • :bluu:

OMA to a riot shield was fun for laughs for a bit, but I found it to be inefficient mainly because I didn’t have enough classes to accommodate it.

I don’t play like this much anymore, but my current asshole mode pretty much involves me getting to a particular spot (damn near every map has one.) And holding it down (tubing, claymore/C4 and other random fuckery). As I said I don’t do it much anymore, but when I get a bit frustrated, or the other team is talking shit that’s when I go into asshole mode… and… well I’m the best there is at what I do cause I did it for so long. I’ve got multiple contingency plans for every spot too. I’ll admit that I’m making it sound a bit sexier than it really is, but shit’s funny when it works.

If you’re truly nuke hunting and want THE best stage to incorporate an asshole strategy it’s Highrise… good god it’s Highrise (Domination).

The spot is the most obvious one too. On top of the ledge with the propane tank where the elevators are. Obvious place = stupid spot right? Here’s how to hold it down:

First of all tube the tank, so no one can blow it up and kill you.

Next right to the left of the ladder there’s the ledge that you can go around and run to the other side. Stand on the ledge and put a claymore there facing the ladder. This is far enough back where people running the main part of the stage wont trip it, and inconspicuous enough such that someone running around that side to come up the ladder wont see it. Basically the only way they’ll trip it is if they’re coming for you.
It
Next put a Calymore on top of the platform like this

----> – Ladder

----> —Propane Tank ___ Claymore

In other words slightly further back than flush with the edge of the tank. The reason for this is to get sneaky people that will jump across the platforms across the stage from where the helicopter is to get you. As soon as they jump down they blow up (Of course you also get people coming up the ladder too).

If you want extra protection you can throw a C4 on the pipes around the ladder so if someone decides to try and get tricky and climb the ladder to trip the claymore and then go back down you can blow them up, or you can just detonate it when someone’s down there.

(I always keep a smoke grenade on my Tube class) When I need to replace the claymore at the bottom of the ladder I pop a smoke at the base of the ladder (throw it straight bounce it off the marquee). Wait a few seconds for it to flare up and plant. I have yet to be shot while planting a Claymore like this when smoke is up.

From here the shit is damned near brainless. If your team has them trapped in the Russian spawn you can just rain tubes in there for free. With a decent aim you can actually hit the flag in there if they try to take it. And many people run out the left side because they spawn right there. Hitting B is easy as hell, and you can even get shots into the other building as well (not as easy.) Tubing the Russian side is super easy because you can do it blind. Just lay down and lob shit. You get better lines of sight standing up , but can do the lay down method when people start shooting at you

The only other thing to remember is to aim your Harrier way off the stage on the opposite side so the bombing doesn’t kill you. What sucks is that CG/AC130 sucks here, but you almost don’t need it.

Hell if I were playing this stage on Domination I could get a Nuke damn near half the time.

I almost NEVER go up there from fear of getting destroyed…good perspective of the opening but it seems so free when people are up there. I’ll try it though, sounds like fun. Did they ever fix the pavelow glitch where only the first one called effected your killstreak?

  • :bluu:

yeah that was fixed a while back.

so if I got 7-9-25, I can in theory get pavelow rape kills towards a nuke?

That area is great for sentry guns too…

  • :bluu:

When did they fix it? If I’d known that I’d run more 7,9,15.

As for the Highrise spot. The reason why people don’t survive is because they’re impatient. I’m patient almost to a fault. I’ve been known to lay prone for 30+ seconds up there when it gets hot, or when there’s no action on that side so people either forget about me, or they come to get me. The best way to get someone from up there is C4 which I guess is against people’s religions because they just don’t carry it. I’ve been killed by C4 MAYBE twice from there. Also a well thrown semtex has gotten me before, but most people can’t throw/time it that well. Oh and the other spot (that I’ve only been killed once from) is when people run on the scaffolding to the crane. It’s easy to know when someone’s running around back to get you (I’ve only ever seen someone do it from the Russian side), so if you lose track of someone just aim there. There’s no reason you shouldn’t out shoot them; again it’s rare that I’ve seen anyone even think to try this.

There have been several times I’ve stayed up there for an entire domination round, and the same goes for TDM.

Oh and yeah Sentry guns? FUGEDABOWDIT. That spot is so sick for them. Guns rape so hard up there. Also if you throw it JUST right you can get a throw a CP up there and get it to land there.

walks into saloon with spiders everywhere…

whoa whoa whoa…Hotobu is back?!?

:sweat::rofl::tup:

oh jeez i gotta come back on if hotobu is back lord…

No he’s doin his Europe thing right now…scouting possible new TDM locations :stuck_out_tongue:

  • :bluu:

Old School: Koop/Unreal…was it MW2 or BO that Unreal ran around the stage the entire time in CTF and no one could stop him??? I am laughing in my office just thinking about his ass running with the flag…and 2 minutes later seeing the same thing again and again :rofl:

yeah that was mw2… that ish was hilarious… especially when he literally ran through the crowd of em tryin to guard the flag an stole it.

haha - I’ve done it in both, it was easier in MW2 though because I knew the areas that no one ever went to, when we ran BO, people used 90% of the maps…but I’m pretty sure the hardcore juking was MW2…actually sounds like fun to do now heh…maybe thats what I’ll do when I get home.

  • :bluu:

Ah yeah. I remember the old late night crew back when I had a lot more time to play. One set of people would be on early, the next set would be on late, and then it was time for bed.

So can we change the title to:

Call of Duty Thread: Modern Warfare 2 Because We Troll and Still Win, Oh Yeah Don’t Forget Blops

No.
