Hopefully Friday. I stayed in NC last weekend, but I’m coming home and planning on getting at least a LITTLE run in dammit. I need to try my Dante out too, I pciked him randomly and need to see how bad my execution is - especially online. I’m a week away from picking up SF4 again - I havne’t even download AE2012 patch yet. Seth is calling me, upset he didn’t make UMvC3 (comeon he has a frigin divekick!)
:bluu:
I don’t follow competitive CoD at all, but I’m already unimpressed. They turn off killstreaks and limit your perk use? I can understand ST Akuma. I ‘sorta’ understand Metaknight. But perks AND KS? Just play Halo at that point.
That is DEF different from what I’m used to. Hell, its not like in Starcraft they said ‘no one oculd play Zerg’ when patch 1.06 was out (OG SC). Maybe I’m just too used to FG tourneys…
It would seem obvious to me that under these circumstances SP would be the go to perk in tourney play. However, to say it was the end all be all of second tier perks in MW2 is kind of silly.
Some of the best players use SP --ok, that’s great, but it doesn’t make you win. I’ve lost gun battles in close quarters using SP to those using Lightweight pro with various weapons plenty of times.
lmao. Hating on mw2 still?! I guess it’s never going away because there’s something to bitch about, but I really do hate when shitty ass players complain about a game just because they suck at it.
And those YouTube commentators are NOT top level players. BO and MW3 proved it since it shows them getting ONE good game out of five. Saved game battles exploited their true talent so plz, again, stop hugging their nuts. And their opinions? Yea, they filter through their comments and choose what they like best.
Machinima would Sign me up so quick if I uploaded a Reth gameplay and added Infernoman’s opinions. I’d probably be the next best YouTube commentator. I can’t wait til you guys quit being stupid.
I played a ton of hardcore the other day to finish the SitRep IV challenge. The under-mounted shotgun was pretty hilarious. Killing someone in one hit from what seems like 30 feet away? Oh yes, it was glorious.
You know, I’m cool with you, but this whole “they hate the game because they suck at it” mentality is just stupid. Retarded mechanics are retarded mechanics, plain and simple. People call them like they see them. If they just roll off you (or you like them), that’s fine. It doesn’t mean we should all think the game is perfect though. Stop acting like it should.
Well, in my personal experience, I’ve found the MP5K (there goes that gun Kaz is mentioning again…), the TAR21, L86, RPD, AUG-HBAR, AK47, Akimbo P90, EBR and M16 to all be pretty viable without stopping power. When I first got MW2, the TAR21silenced was actually my go to gun along with a Cold Blooded/Ninja class. I played that class to death until I got comfortable enough to be seen occasionally on radar using another perk other like Stopping Power or Hardline.
Since MW2 was my first COD on a ‘real’ system (I came from playing W@W on Wii) and I played hardcore exclusively, I wasn’t used to the whole being seen on radar whenever I fired a gun. So to learn how to get adjusted to playing a multi-player FPS with 12 people or more in game as opposed to only 8, I used Cold Blooded for the longest. If I couldn’t be seen, I’d have less an opportunity to be killed. And it worked for me. I maintained a KD well over 1 without using Stopping Power, so it’s not always necessary to use it like most people think.
Lol I actually said to myself that you’d mention the MP5k but in reality EVERY weapon you named sans the M21 EBR will ALWAYS be a 3HK without Stopping Power and a 2HK with the Perk. Again, I don’t know why so many people don’t understand that every gun in the game was “Optimal” with SP. Unless you were tubing or trying to be sneaky/shooting down air support. M21 plays like a WA2000 with LESS recoil(lol) or you can spray at people with Cold-Blooded.
BTW “Personal experience” really isn’t a good measure of how good certain things in a game is, I could say Servbot is good MVC2 based on my experinces beating shitty players at my local arcade. That doesn’t mean that it’s true.
He was talking in terms of core damage. In HC using any gun with a silencer can be effective. In which case cold blooded or lightweight are used more often. Maybe 6 out of 8 out of my classes have stopping power.
I forgot to say, when I got MW2, I didn’t really play Hardcore anymore. Or at least not like I used to. Cold Blooded was always my first choice tier 2 perk regardless of game mode.
