Cheers for the tips, I shall venture back online tonight.

P90 is good, but the UMG45 (?) is good too, and I'm partial to a bit of sniping where possible.

I got into demolition, play your perks to gain xp and use a Lmg ( rpd)

to get a load of fast level ups.. Sweet.

I have now transiently left the ADHD zone of mw2 online to thrash through dragonage.. Christ, my life is taken.  I'm a Mage and I'm lovin the vanquish and death... Gaming is soooo good!!!

Now you see, I recognize some of the words, but have no idea what you are on about....

[Bubba]

Fuck knows why I Prestiged but after a dull grind back to 70 I can now confirm that there is no point in doing it whatsoever. Yeah, a new class slot is nice but it's not worth the hassle levelling up all over again.

If I wanted to grind XP like that then  I'd go back to playing WoW.

For some reason I had it in my head that when you Prestige'd you could carry two main weapons as with COD4.  However since this aint the case there is no point.

And your KDR tends to drop because you're back to using the poorer weapons, or maybe that's just me playing whilst 

[vivahate]

I just prestiged and I'm not sure why!  Thought it might be fun to try out some new loadouts and discover hidden gems that I might have missed (like the RPD grip that I didn't use for too long before I realised it's amazing).

Need another game really, be arsed doing that grind again

[Bubba]

I'm just trying for some nukes now. Just got a 19 killstreak but still no nuke yet.

Also playing more Hardcore.

[vivahate]

Going to go for some Nukes too when I have the killstreaks unlocked. What are you going for? Harriers/Chopper Gunner/Nuke?

Enjoying Prestige'ing actually, do you get a 7th class slot if you go for a 2nd time?

[Norton Sharley]

AC130 strikes look good from the ground as long as you aren't underneath one!

You do indeed!!

[vivahate]

but you lose the Prestige titles like "The Silent" etc.? Think I'll get to 70 and try to get some nukes going. Just practicing getting my killstreaks to Pavelow which is low percentage enough at the moment. From what I hear though half the time if you can get to harriers, they'll get you the chopper gunner and that'll get you to like 20 or so.

[tlr]

Harriers? Nukes? Bloody hell, I was chuffed enough last night to be give my first Sentry Gun for a killstreak.

I did also get my running badge too though, not surprising really seeing as I spend most of my time running back to the action from Spawn sites!

Great game.

[tomrix]

I find chopper gunner a bit hit and miss. You can rack up 5-10 kills quickly but if the opposition have launchers i find it can be short lived. AC130 all the way which i think you get for the same number of kills.

I use Predator missiles, Pavelow and AC130. Seems to work pretty well. If i was going for the Nuke i would swap it for the predator missile! Simples

Normally I use Predator / Harriers / Pave Low

Going for nukes I'm trying Harriers / AC130 / Nuke

AC130 is much harder to shoot down than the helicopters.

Do you use Hardline to reduce the kills required?

[Bubba]

I've been trying a class with Hardline but I'm so used to Cold-Blooded now I keep just getting killed all the time

[Bubba]

Just got my first Nuke without Hardline using Harrier/AC-130/Nuke.

Went 43 kills, 4 assists to 8 deaths in a game of ground war domination on Scrapyard.

Quite funny - wait until your team is about to lose then hit the button.

[Bowie]

i got an xbox with mw2 for xmas. first console in 12 years. last week i got plugged into xbox live.

it is life changing eh? couple of mates from work play as well. falling asleep the other night images of crouching men with guns kept flashing in front of my mind.

despite the enjoyment it certainly feels regressive. do you get guilt? i  had to punish myself on the turbo trainer for an extra 10 minutes.

assume halo3 is the next game to get for online shooting.

[Bubba]

Whenever I see a plane fly overhead I think "UAV!"

Noob-tube + Scavenger needs nerfing. I resisted it for a while but can now tube with the best of them - one shot kills from huge range...not very skillful.

[tomrix]

Never really been fussed by people using the grenade launcher to be honest!! It can get frustrating on scrapyard when someone manages to hit where your team spawns and racks up a few kills virtually before the game has even started!

I only tend to use it so i can complete the challenge and unlock the shotgun attachment!!

Its all about the red dot sight and the silencer on assault rifles!!

[Bubba]

I wouldn't be fussed by it if ammo was more limited but if you carry an AR with launcher, a Thumper as secondary weapon and use the Scavenger Perk then you've pretty much got a non-stop supply of one hit kill 'nades. Just makes a mockery of most other guns as you don't need to be that accurate with it to get kills.

I imagine that you wouldn't have enjoyed being in this particular game, although I did:

I uploaded that video a month ago, and it's already got 163k views!

I guess that'd be fun for like one game

You on PC? Luckily glitchers/griefers get banned really fast on XBL.

I was on xbox360 playing a public online Demolition game. I doubt I'll get banned (it's been 5 weeks since and I haven't so far), and I just chanced upon the glitch when joining a random match - for several days in December the likelihood of joining an infinite ammo game was quite high. I did exploit it a bit though, staying in that lobby got me all the 'danger close' perk challenges in a couple of hours.

[Bubba]

Ah, if you just joined the game then you're probably safe, whereas the modder might get a ban. I notice that the "fast running" glitch is no longer about and they haven't patched the game so I can only assume bans have been handed out.

Sorry for being a killjoy but after the awful days of Halo 2 modders my sense of humour for this sort of thing ran out.

[vivahate]

packed in the PC version due to a massive amount of people hacking, am on XBL now if anyone is keen: deityofheresy

[Bubba]

I've added you - i'm "Veiny Spear" - I'm on at weird times of day though.

How's it been going from mouse/keyboard to a controller?
