    Shh! The secret of the vastly more intelligent and strategic nature of TF2, as well as it's amazing humour and class to suit everybody musn't get out!

    Personally, I play medic, although I pyro as a secondary.

    alright, i played with my friends today on...uhh....the 18-player playlist. i decided im gonna be just as unfair as everyone else and camp and noob-tube. since i have the ACR now, i'm getting lots of kills, though id like to get a nuke at some point.

    for now i have to settle with AC-130 being my highest.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    What is this "fun"? Obviously, you play online computer games to make other people feel frustrated and suffer.

    That's obviously the whole point of the game or why did the developers add a 25 kills killstreak reward and several pictures(like "Bow Down") that are shown to the other guy after you killed him?

    Being enough of a loser to get a 25 kill killstreak on Call of Duty should be punished, not rewarded.

    Well, if you ask me, akimbo should be removed from the game completely, while jumping there should be a possibility to literally shoot yourself in the foot if you pull the trigger and aiming while running around should be even more inaccurate, and then maybe turn all game modes into hardcore.
    Oh and the knife, less range and if both people press the button the second should defend against it so it's back to gunz. And it's damage should be more random from instakill to pretty hurt.
    But ain't gonna happen I'm afraid.

    It works as it is but the akimbo G18 reminds me of the Wirbelwind in CoH, you simply lose if you attack it with infantry, unfortunately COD, unlike CoH, is all about infantry, it's become a bit silly IMO, given that the graphics are all realistic etc., I wouldn't mind space marines running around like that, or space orcs.

    thats not true. just cuz you dont like it doesnt mean that getting a high killstreak means you're a loser. i get high killstreaks sometimes, but im not a loser.

    I never understood while a shot to the torso from a rifle won't instantly kill a person, but one knife stab, through layers of clothing and body armor, will.

    That is why I don't like games such as MW2 that much for their combat.

    You can spray some one full of lead and they act if nothing happed, but a stratch with a knife? Dead.

    Well, I don't mind it in Battlefield (Bad Company) because the Batlefields are far more open, you don't jump 3 meters forward when doing it and the other guy usually gets a fair chance to stop you before you get close enough, but COD has a lot of close quarters combat and you can run ridiculously fast so some people run around and use almost exclusively the knife.

    Yes it is. I would consider myself a loser if I did WCs with Mazovia on EUIII something, which requires about the same level of dedication/desperation as getting a 25 kill streak on COD.

    I cannot understand why you would go to the hassle, and spend the time camping to get such high kill streaks, just so you turn a greyed out picture into a coloured in one. That goes for any game.

    So you complain about people camping, and your solution to that complaint is to camp.

    Hmm.

    I noticed that phenomenon with my son and nephew. I remember them way back in the Modern Warfare era () bitterly complaining about other players always using "noob tubes". On vacation a couple of summers back, my brother and I joined them in a little off-line multiplayer Modern Warfare. My brother and I had just dabbled once or twice with the game so we were pretty bad but the boys played constantly. Guess what their favourite weapon was to kill us? Right, the noob tube (like they needed it). When we pointed out the hypocracy, they just gave a little grinned and shrugged. "Do unto others what you DON'T want them to do to you" seems common in these FPS games if two plus years of watching the boys play is any indication. Though to be fair to them, they are rarely guilty of camping.

    ummm.....what? i dont know what you were saying about EU 3, but I know that getting 7 kills guarantees you a nuke if you have harriers and chopper gunner. AC-130 is better on maps like Rust, but most of the time chopper gunners can get inside buildings pretty easy.

    I cannot understand why you would go to the hassle, and spend the time camping to get such high kill streaks, just so you turn a greyed out picture into a coloured in one. That goes for any game.
    i dont camp. occasionally i'll hide for some quick kills if im close to 7 or 11 kills, but never to the point that it could be called "camping". maybe 3 kills at max and i'll move on.

    So you complain about people camping, and your solution to that complaint is to camp.

    Hmm.
    uhhhh....what? you misunderstood. i meant that i tried it a few times, and i've never gotten more than a kill or 2 with it. which is 1 reason why i hate campers; i never get kills when i try, but they always get me when they try.
