If this keeps on, I'm shelving MW2 forever.

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 was comparing getting a 25 kill streak on COD to doing a world conquest with Mazovia, a tiny principality in the centre of Poland. Both require similar levels of desperation.

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.



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

My mistake. But you do clearly resort to cheap tactics, whilst complaining about cheap tactics.

I think he means that there is something more important in life than computer games.

What a weirdo....

Don't get me wrong, I play and enjoy many computer games, ranging from grand strategy to FPSs. But to take it so seriously that you do a WC with Mazovia, or to strive to attain a 25 kill streak on COD is just dumb.

inoi bet he sees people jogging down the street exercising and doesn't think "why would they be doing that? they could be playing the xbox or computer?".

It's too cold to exercise where I live.

I understand. Everyone has a line that they draw between their hobby/interest and what they perceive as unhealthy/sad/obsession/addiction.

I do find it amusing that you proclaim a boundary to acceptable enthusiasm, interest and application on a forum for computer game enthusiasts. For some people (e.g. my girlfriend...), even talking about computer games might in itself consitute a fair degree of "desperation" or "dumbness".

Sure, of course.

To be fair, I hardly talk about games on this forum. Most of my time is spent discussing politics.

ah. its not really that hard; my buddy got one in a free-for-all. it is, once again, just about getting that 7-kill streak and choppergunner/ac130.

i think everyone at one time or another does. however its the fact that many of the people simply use the same cheap tactic the entire 10 minute game, rather than try to play the game like it's supposed to be every minute or two.

as Alh_p said; everyone has their own boundaries. i think trying to dominate the entire world in E:TW with Prussia or Marathas is easy enough that it isn't unhealthy (took me a few weeks BTW). however I think that going into Oblivion and Morrowind and searching for every single little tiny easter egg, killing every single person you can after completing all the quests, and continuing to RP after completing all those quests.....is more than a little over-the-top. thats like a hundred miles over the top.

getting a nuke isn't as hard as i make it sound; its really the campers that ruin it for me.

It never ceases to amaze me that the top kill streak in MW2 is, in essense, a button that flat ends the game. You stop cold all enjoyment of the game for everyone else and kill all playing, even teammates. With a finisher like that it's no wonder people resort to the "cheap" tactics, the game is encouraging it after all.

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.

One man's idiocy is another man's good time. Different strokes from different folks and all that assorted talk.

Of course. I'm just justifying my idiocy.
