Returned to blops2 with renewed vigor and less concern about stats. Suddenly losing 1v1s to lag doesn’t bother me as much. And oh what a return it has been;
I revived a playstyle I enjoyed on Counter-Strike (1.3, 1.4 days) called “Ninja-Style”. Tactically employed flashbangs and/or smoke grenades along with map manipulation, some Sun Tzu style surprise elements, and Jedi Mind Tricks (Jedi just autocorrected to Jesus, epic).
I pulled off anywhere from 1.85 to 2.0 KD. A few times up to 20 kills on the match. Last game of the night an exceptionally campy team on plaza held me to minus two but a few knife kills sweetened it for me.
i hear what you’re saying about the FAL, but you have to understand; i’m an old man. not all of us are young crackheads that triangle dash everywhere across the map. it’s much easier on my calloused, hard fingers to depress and hold the trigger than to frenetically bring it to climax while drop shotting at every turn
Am I the only one who never gets the stage Aftermath?
I’ve had this game for a week now and I’ve only seen it as a voteable map once and that was today, though I didn’t get top play on it because everyone voted for fucking Carrier for some reason.
For such a big stage Carrier has the shittiest spawns of just about any COD stage i’ve ever seen.
I like to call Aftermath “the biggest SMG map in CoD”. Despite being so damn big, nothing happens anywhere but the middle of the map. I wish it was more like Wasteland.
I don’t have a problem with Turbine. It seems to be a mix between Afghan from MW2 with Yemen from BO2. I don’t particular like that it’s hard to see snipers who are lying down in the entrances of those towers, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Carrier.
Shotgun’s are seriously annoying in this game. MW3 I understood there was a distance I could effectively neutralize an enemy armed with a shotty, but in this game it feels like shotties can get kills with single shots at midrange :wtf:
I’ve had some success playing alone now finally. Seems I can do pretty well, by sitting back instead of rushing so much. Been using the FAL to try and unlock Select fire. Otherwise I agree with you. I think it won’t be so bad for me once I unlock Awareness though. I can’t hear footsteps at all in this game and I’m tired of people running behind me for 100 ft only to stab me from behind.
This game seems like if you don’t play with a team, and the opposing players are a team, you are SOL. I’m also annoyed that people don’t play the objective and yet this game is all about the objective.
Solo queue seems to always put me on the losing team, so I’d agree if that’s what you mean. Even in Merc Moshpit, I rarely join anything but an already-started game that’s beyond lost by the time I load in. :tdown:
Got more hatemail for using a shotgun. And for some reason in this game I feel like I do the most inconsistent. I’m not use to my KD being -10 some matches. Its like some rounds my guns just dont damage anyone at close range, but if I use a shotgun I can kill people which doesn’t make sense.
I visited a forum on mp1st today out of boredom, and lo and behold, people were complaining about the first shotgun. Then some guy mentioned how the Skorpion and PDW were really good, and the ones who complained about shotguns said those guns were okay. I oughta camp with the first shotgun and see if I can get any hatemail.
after trying out all the shotguns, I have found use out of all of them…issue really is that their hipspread (where 95% of players do with shotguns in CoD out of force of habit) is larger than what previous games have had for them. course being precise with a shotgun in a game where people like to move as erratically as a fly doesn’t help.
laser sight is a requirement it feels like. Long barrel really only benefits M870 and KSG since they have the longest range and are easier to get OHKO. oddly enough I have had great success with a suppressed M870. those who played with em from last night would know.
that match on Drone (aka the Jurassic park map) that team kept bitching at how I kept picking them off with one :lol:
How the fuck do I beat the part in the campaign where I’m rescuing some skinny dude and I have to walk 10 meters to the other guy while in the Jungles of Vietnam?
Need to get on some Bouncing Betty action when I start maxing out snipers. Almost finished with the SMGs… I find setting goals for my self like reaching max level on a weapon set or going for gold on the launchers keeps things fresh.
