the one where they just run up and if you kill them they blow up and you die too?

yep thats the one, apparently you just press some key combination when you spawn and it makes your javelin instantly explode when you die

my feeling on the game are as follows:

Right now the only thing that i do is snipe, and it will be the only thing that i do. Match making on XBL is simply a joke. Kill / Death streaks are just way to powerful. COLD BLOOD is necessary to play this game, if you want to have any hope of living. With UAV coming in at 2 or 3 kills it's a joke. Consider that with harriers, chopper gunners, AC130 ext ext. not having cold blood is just too much of a liability imo.

All of the kill streaks are ridiculously over powered, and should be removed. Also most of the perks are also entirely useless / pointless to use except for a select few. The simple fact of the matter is, if you want to live in any team death match game cold blood, and ninja are a must. Gun perks are even worse. With heart beat sensor being another form of ridiculous for of map hack to worry about having any sense of security while playing is almost nil. Silencers are pointless except for SMG and Assult rifle use, and frankly only really are useful when using a class that has a full 'covert' perk build.

Basically from my perspective:

Perks- only good blue perk is marathon, or slight of hand pro imo one man army could be really really OP but that's just me...
Perks 2: need cold blood, so really the rest are pointless, especially hard line, or stopping power.
Perks 3: all the green perks are really bad (especially scrambler) really ninja is the best, to one again avoid map hacking HB sensors. but commando is good as well, so a tossup perhaps.

Equipment: I use claymores, but only have 1 it really sucks- scrambler makes them pointless yada yada. Worst is Tactical insertion or throwing knife.

Gun Perks: silencers only find a use with smg or assault rifles imo. Akimbo is totally pointless, pistols make machine pistols largely useless because of tac knife. Tac knife is amazing btw, thermal scope is OP on some maps, ACOG is a pointless scope- with holographic being the best, and of course who can forget FMJ? pointless unless you are a sniper.

And last but not least kill streaks- I have uav jammer (because it can not be cancled out like UAV or blocked with cold blood ie. it's absolute.) Air drop with 4 kills, because it's so ridiculous playing the lottery and getting an ac130 1 min into the game. then with 8 kills, getting FOUR more kill streaks. Once again playing the lottery, i have gotten 3 ac130 gun ships. If you don't use drop boxes your a fool. They are with out a doubt the best of the perks. You can use them, or use them as bait to have every single enemy running to them from all corners of the map.

Currently i have about 2k kills and about 1k deaths. My k/d is somewhere around 1.87 and this game is a joke. Just recently i went 33-2 on Karachi using this set up-

Walther2000 with FMJ
M9 pistol with Tac Knife
Claymores
Slight of hand Pro
Cold Blood Pro
Ninja Pro
Smoke Nade

Kill streaks: UAV jammer, air drop, emergency air drop

Basically what i am trying to say is- MW2 is too easy, and yet to hard. Unless you specifically stat your character, you will be found out and killed by free radicals beyond your control. ie- all of the kill streaks, HBS

You have quite a different oponion to me and everyone I know who has played the game.

Whereas sniping is fun it's far from all I do - or anyone I see on the servers really. They're easy to counter with UAV, and kill cam if they're stupid enough to take cold blood.

Death Streakes can be annoying and I rage everytime I die to some newb who only killed me due to painkiller, but remember how it is when you're down 4 deaths without a kill as well, it's not something that's bad (from a casual playing point ot view, not as a competetive game as it has too much to go until it's good in that area).

Almost all killstreaks can be countered, EMP and counter uav are the ones that can't that I remember on the top of my head.

Chopper: Dies in 1 rocket.
Pave-low: Flares first rocket, dies on second
AC-130: I've seen it have up to 2 flares (this is where teamplay comes in)
Chopper gunner: Should be something like ac-130 and pave-low, all I know is that it dies as soon as it comes into range of our stingers.
Sentry gun: Dies in 1 melee hit and can be stunned/flashed

Perks:

1: If you play something with respawn and you don't snipe Scavenger is close to a must. You also loot new nades with scavenger, so you can play really offensive and flash/stun all the time. You can rely on picking up same weapons for ammo, but I find myself running out of ammo since spamming and wallbanging = good. Slight of Hand is good otherwise, but I don't use it unless I play Search and Destroy. I never took a liking to One Man Army, so havn't used it much

2: Stopping power, Stopping power, Stopping power. I used to use cold blood for my SMG suit, but I don't SMG unless I do Jack the Ripper now, and that focuses more on knives. Stopping power makes snipershots one shot, which is crucial if you're using the Intervention like I am, and very good even if you're not. It's always fun playing around with semtex, grenade launcher and scavanger, but I can't see it competing with stopping power anytime soon.

3: This is the "meh" section. I take Ninja usually for the silent footsteps, but I could do with replacing it if they introduced something half-decent. Steady Aim Pro is a must if you're sniping though.

I don't know what kind of useless akimbo people you've met, but whereas akimbo P90 and such is useless and retarded spamming guns, shotguns like the 1887 (overpowered shit, will probably be nerfed but enjoy it while it last if you're rank 67+) or like the akimbo magnums are very good as secondary weapons.



All the UAV, HB sensors and appearing on the minimap if you shoot with a none-silenced weapon are all part of an anti-camping system. All you have to do is move.

Oh but it's sooo troublesome to equip a rocket launcher and let it auto lock on to a UAV as soon as you hear the alert that one is in the air. [/SARCASM]

But in all seriousness, I'd rather run Stopping Power and just be more cautious when I know the enemy has a UAV up. In core. In hardcore it's Cold Blooded/Ninja all day.

Yeah but then you'd have to aim. I want the game to take care of the hard stuff like that for me <_<
