Forget the $72 Internet. Who pays $10 a month for xbox live? You can easily find a year card for $45, $30 if with patience.

Far as the internet cost, I know I'm 'Murrican, but 60 dollars a month or I can downgrade my service to, like, dialup speeds. But I'm in a rural part of a country with one of the worst cost:service ratios in the industrial world, so what do I expect? |

I didn't say too good, I said very above average. Average is 1.0k/d and since I play exclusively TDM, that would mean a 1.75k/d is quite a bit above.
And yes, outrageous prices for crap service is the norm around here. |

So you are an above average TDM player not CoD all together?

Never bothered with squad based gameplay since doing so with randoms rarely bodes well. However TDM is the most popular gametype.

I agree. My k/d in Kill Confirmed is horrible due to the randoms just spawn camping and not getting the tags which leaves me to do it and I wind up dying alot.

Kill Confirmed on Hijacked is one of my favorite ways to play BO2.
Hardpoint as well Mostly just play Zombies nowadays, everyone I played with stopped for the most part. |

i.e camping
Which is why I never played TDs now. Kill Confirmed or Mosh Pit before they got rid. Love getting the Doggies on Kill Confirmed and seeing the mini-map light up with gold tags. |

It would be supreme overkill to have the dogs and swarm at the same time on KC.

Yeah I've seen that happen with one of the guys I play with. Now that I have the X-Box I'm usually playing with 4-5 other friends and one guy is ridiculous, so he sometimes runs VSAT, Dogs, Swarm. We all run VSATs, I usually go Sentry Gun, AGR or Stealth Chopper depending on the map, then Warthog, Doggies or VTOL depending on how I feel about it.
What usually happens when you get Dogs or Swarm anyway is that people start leaving. When Dogs and Swarm are both on at once, see ya. Having maximum AGRs or maximum Sentry Guns on the map is probably funnier. |

I absolutely love the AGR because no one is smart enough to toss an EMP at it.

That's pretty rare I find. EMPs are the most used thing in this game now. I seem to spend 50% of my game time being EMPed. Normally it's unusual for an AGR to last longer than 1-2 kills unless the other team is really shit, which is also when you get the beauty of 3 AGRs rolling around at once.

At some point I switched to hardcore KC and I find it infinitely frustrating to play core these days.

I stopped playing hardcore because I was sick of getting near streaks then having some troll on my team blatantly team kill me.

Steam is letting people play Black Ops 2 Multiplayer for free this weekend... I have it for XBOX and rarely play first person shooters on the PC, might try it out for the ride or something.

I wish I'd know about this, damnit. I dug out MW2 this weekend and made a push to prestige, which took me a good few hours. I quite enjoyed it and my standard of performance was pretty decent, although I started to flag towards the end the more experimental and impatient I got. Also on Sunday I saw a lot more people hacking with messages for aim assist things coming on screen, which seems to be a hangover of the SOny security compromise.
I was wondering whether to pick up MW3 or think about dropping £20 on Black Ops 2. I personally enjoyed Black Ops more than MW2, but it was a lot less stable (especially on PS3) than MW2 was and seemed to have more lag problems. Any opinions? I'm also not that interested in single player, I never bothered to finish that on Black Ops 1. Edit: Looking through the thread, I can see that a lot of the BO1 problems are still there. I get matched with a lot of Europeans in MW2, but the games still run flawlessly most of the time. |

Weird that the color of friendlies on PC is light blue instead of green. Seems like a pointless change.

Do the enemies still show as red dots?

Probably. The most common problem is distinguishing red from green, so they need a different set of colours for the gamertags.
Edit: I've ordered MW3, I've never played it before so it'll be strange to come to a fresh set of maps after such a long time. Pretty sick of the MW2 maps now. |

Youre gonna hate it. MW3 was incredibly disappointing in every way.

I got MW3, the new killstreak system seems interesting, and it's nice to have a new perk system after so long.
I am doing pretty poorly as usual, but I feel I can blame the new maps, vs people who have been playing for 18 months. I have come out on top a few times, but eventually if I loose my cool or concentration I just start to run into everything. I have been thinking about my perks and what not, I might try and go SMG for a while as it occurs to me now that I spend so much time meeting people face to face, I should be working on coming on to them from the side, and learning the maps accordingly. I wonder how the matchmaking works on this because I was up against this Al Pacino chap who would get about 30 kills a match and I was on the opposing team to him about 7 times in a row until he left. I'm sure he had to leave and evaluate his life and add up how much he had spent to play because he was so awesome. |

I decided just to go back to MW2. Although I'm new to the maps, I don't know if I liked them as much. I don't want to put the time in to learning them when I can just stick with MW2 until Ghosts comes out.
Will be moving on to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer soon |

I thought the maps in MW3 were probably the best map set out of any game. Mission and Village are two favorites.
