What kind of sights would be affected by EMP?

[snwbrdr435]

ones that are electronic? Thermal/ red dot etc

[marlin29311]

ones that are electronic? Thermal/ red dot etc

+1 - any type of sight that powers up or illuminates...red dots, holo's, acogs, etc...

It's a nice touch.

Huge post on Shotguns

LOL I think you like using them even more than me so its good to hear they are getting more love this time around. I can't wait to get this and drink some delicious pubbie tears.

I just want you all to know, I am buying a xbox360 just to play this game. And Grand Theft Auto 4 hahaha I are awesome. Gotta love US Forest Service unemployment checks. ahhh being 19's awesome.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Just a note on GTAIV: if you have a PC capable of running it, get the PC version instead. It has a really cool replay editor that the Xbox version lacks. Makes me wish I'd waited for the PC version.

Kill ratio @ 1.66Win ratio @ 1.80Rank level @ 40

I wanted this to be better than cod4.......and man did it deliever!! I fell in love with modern warfare all over again because IW did'nt mess with anything but only improved it, I strongly believe in " if it ain't broke, then don't fix it". The Scar is amazing with FMJ I believe? stopping power, slieght of hand, steady aim, plus the perks within the perk just rock!! Final stand for my deathstreak if that happens, 3 kills for radar, 5 for predator missile strike, and 7 for chopper.........very effective for me.

This game is sooo fast I am blown away how the performance doesn't lack one bit.

The PC community isn't happy with it, but can you blame them?

The average ping rate on IWnet games is pretty bad IMO. Usually ranging in the 200-300ms range. Dunno if this pic will show up, but try to spot the host:

From what I've been reading this is looking to be the average for ping rates. Dedicated servers would have been a much better choice for end user utility, however I was not in the design of the game, and Robert Bowling felt that his tweets gathered a fair share of responses to give the design staff ideas of what the community wanted. He said the average user response would range in around 60,000 responses. However, the current dedicated server request petition is over 200,000. So take that for whatever it is.

As for my final comments on the SP. I still feel MW1 had a better SP experience. Not dissing MW2 in any way as it was a great ride. I rather enjoyed the end fight, however, the story was just so much better in MW1 from start to finish with the Force Recon and SAS stories intertwining well. The Rangers and Task Force 141 stories didn't have that same feeling as one really didn't impact the other (although some will argue that they did via the way the 141 ended the fighting in America). I just felt that the Force Recon story showed the Al-Asad side of MW1's story so well and it flowed perfectly into the SAS finale while you were still getting to peel back parts of the Zakhaev and Al-Asad story before the bombshell hit in the Force Recon mission.

I will, however, decline to comment further on IWNet and my intense dislike for what Infinity Ward did to the PC Community. There's no use in beating a dead horse as all the arguing in the world on an internet forum won't make the devs reverse their decision.

No, we're not. To be honest, it's not even the consoleization that REALLY makes me mad. The thing that gets my goat is IW's attitude toward the PC community's outcry. They don't give a damn, and they make it clear that they think we're just too stupid to understand why their way is better. They also make it clear that we're such a small part of the modern COD community that they don't really care what we think. Which is pretty s***, considering the PC is the whole reason CoD even exists as a franchise today.

But the consoleization is still a complete dealbreaker when it comes to buying the game. I have NO INTEREST in buying a game that's completely locked and restricted. Tinkering/tweaking is a BIG HUGE CRITICAL part of PC gaming, and any game that specifically locks that out holds no interest for me.

SOME of my PC-gaming fellows are weak in constitution. They are an embarrassment to us all:

[Hijacker]

Valkryie did a cleaning of the Boycott group (I'm a member), but I checked the player list this morning and there are still a bunch of people being shown as in game with MW2.

My biggest beef over this whole IW and PC community ordeal is that we have been treated like we don't matter anymore. Instead of IW doing the right thing and bringing the consoles up to speed with the PC online specs, they instead gimp the PC community and tell us we're too stupid to have it the way we always had it. The silence coming from the IW staff towards the PC community hurts the most. In the beginning, all we wanted was some communication to discuss IWNet and find some common ground, but the only response was that of condescending, two faced babble. There was no outreach to the community, there was no discussion. IW just carried on like nothing had happened.

As sad as it sounds, I hope deep down that IWnet fails. I really seriously do. At this point it's more about vindication for being treated like an inferior when all that was requested was consideration. I normally don't wish the worst on new ideas. I love it when companies attempt to innovate and raise the bar, but in this case, the bar was clearly lowered for the wrong reasons and the faithful were cast out with no hesitation.

Nope, I am right there with you guys. I posted earlier that I feel that IW took a collective sh*t on the PC community. I would expect IW to change their policies once the feedback came in, but if they are stuck in their ways then screw them!

But what bothers is this...Every one loves to post the horrible things going on with IWNet but I would love to see what the majority of the games look like. Something tells me that for the most part it works fine...

I HATE PC gaming because I can never have a 100% assurance of whether or not the people I am playing against are cheating or have mods. But with console, I know I am not getting cheated and this makes all the difference in the world to me.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Just finished the SP campaign on Hardened difficulty. All I can say is WOW!!! I am impressed. I have to say I thought it was a little bit easier than COD4. I only had a hard time in a couple of spots, the Favela being one of them. Will be going through again on Veteran for the achievements later. Now it's time for me to start building my MP skills.

[jdshift]

I believe the connectivity is much better for the most part with the only issue with friend invites, when a game is getting ready to take the dump because of connectivity issues it will pause the game and re-establish the connection with a new host with the best signal.

Been playing alot of games with nothing but praise with the way IW did on the PSN........only downside is from the 2nd day which had the server down for quite some time. Overall from me.

That's kind of ironic as I have talked to a couple of 360 players who have personally encountered cheaters and hackers on XBL, and I have maybe seen less than a handful of hackers on the PC servers I frequent. Good server admins and updated Punkbuster files help keep the hacking to a safe minimum. So far the hackers get carte blanch with the current setup since there is no way to police them out.

As for IWnet going away, it won't. Destructoid and Bash and Slash both have posted up about a survey that Activision put out a while ago for pricing plans to play MW2 on a monthly subscription basis. There's no way they could charge a fee if we had dedis still. Only through IWNet can they implement that setup. I don't mind paying DLC costs for map packs as I was totally surprised that we got the MW1 map pack for free. But a monthly sub fee is a huge no-no.

I skipped the SP for now, I don't want to get behind the MP skill level. I am at 28, when I hit 45 maybe I will finish the SP:gapteeth So you guys on line, I am mostly on the Mercenary Team Deathmatch.

I want to get a decent team together and hit the Mosh Pit.I had ounces of fun in it last night. But i kept being put on Team Retarded so we Lost S&D, HQ and Domination....TDM we did well, hopefully i can get a team together who understands what it means when the announcer says "Losing Bravo".Cuz last night there was a guy who would hear that....and sprint away from bravo as if it was about to explode or something.

[le_ryan]

im at level 38 right now, I seem to be able to kill the entire enemy team just about every game according to my accolades lolhit me up fellas

PSN: le_ryan007

[RCA]

Yo Nali we should rock online. I don't mess with many operations based matched. I will be doing core TD or Headquarters. Sorry about the other day, when my match ended I checked my messages and you were offline for 3 minutes. But I definitely want to NICO it out.

I am rolling with about a 1.7 K/D ratio.Let me know.

[Nali]

K next time ill spam you with messages till you respond.hehe.We def need to get a team together, im frikkin tired of losing.My W/L ratio is horrible right now.....my K/D is fine its at like 1.7 - 1.8 still low on kills so one match can change it drastically.

cool, I hit 33 last night...or was it 34...? Anyways I am doing Ok. I hope to hit 40 by tonight. Just got to do some chores...and eat....maybe this is a good time for some meal replacement shakes. Less time eating...more time playing, LOL

My Favorite Combos are Scar Thermal w/ heart monitor, Aug Bhar? W/ Hand/e and red dot sight. I still need to get the patience to use the shotty or Sniper guns.

Nali whenever im not playing with my friends clan im stuck with retards ad me

[hatchback240]

has nobody but me tried the riot shield out in MP? funniest friggin thing i've ever seen/played. i think i have 10 or so kills with it, which isn't much, but every kill was worth the 3 deaths it took to get it. the reaction from the other player when you just come running at them and whack them with a shield is priceless. even better than that, you can completely distract an enemy harrier, as the shield is impenetrable from any direct hits, just look directly at it and it will shoot at you for the entirety of its time on the field. try it out, unless you're shooting for an awesome k/d r.

Will add you later today.

Looks like we have a pretty sick NICO team together already.We just need to be online at the same time so we can get this done.

Haha i tried the Riot shield.Put commando on it and youll be able to melee guys from much further away than they think, so they get closer trying to shoot at your feet then....boom, they are dead.

But unless the rest of your team...or atleast 2 others are smart enough to use your shielding then you are guaranteed to get wasted pretty quickly.

Lightweight vs Riot shield. I can run around a guy holding a riot shield faster than he can turn to keep me facing him....unless he has his sensitivity up.So a lone shielder i wreck pretty easily, but when they work together with 2 guys holding RPDs i cry.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

RCA, you are my friggin good luck charm, tonight was my best rounds yet, while playing with you I ranked up like 5 times and completed a ton of challenges. We need to play together more often.
