Modern Warfare2 General Thread

I will say though, if MS wasn't so anal about the patch process, this wouldn't be a big deal.

Of course, IW should have probably had a beta/demo to work out shit like this, but oh well.

Care package glitch fix on the way!! YEA!!!

Yeah, except it will only cover 3 of the 4 methods you can do this. But-#4 is a little more complicated so it should slow some of those suckers down.

Man I hope so because because it's taken a lot of the enjoyment out of the game.

Cheating plus so much shit talking is why I don't play much MP.

I don't care about the Mouths- I'll give as good as I get but the cheating and the quitters piss me off. Went on a terrific run on Underpass on Domination, didn't see score but I know it was at least a 17+ kill run w/out dying, grabbed all 3 points and held them, got multiple (saved the base) kudos and some joker dashboarded with 30 seconds left. Punk.

Worst case of the quitters I had was going for the 10 nuke achievement. Got 9, still need 1 more. Was up to about 22-0 on Run Down and some b@st@rd quit.

Was in a game fairly recently where someone activated a nuke, and the host obviously pulled out because everyone got booted out to the lobby.

^I thought the new game was set up in such a way that if you lost the host, it just migrated the game to a new host?

At the risk of starting a console flame war, I have to say, I don't know if the level of talent is a lot higher on the 360 or what, but I'm getting my ass handed to me. I played the PS3 version for about 2 hours earlier tonight and I held my own with a positive K/D ratio for the night. Came back an hour ago to play the 360 version. Good Lord I got slaughtered.

After playing the 360 version for a few more days, I finally got back to where most of the time I'm holding my own. I have some really good games, followed by some bad games and I'm around a 0.9 K/D ratio, but it's trending upwards. Been experimenting with the sniper rifle (which I guess is hypocritical on my part since I'm always cursing snipers). Someone needs to explain to IW that if you hit somebody in the middle of the chest with a .50 caliber rifle, they're done, it doesn't take a headshot. Overall, I still prefer to be a hunter rather than a camper though.

Yesterday I decided to go back to the PS3 version for the day (as I've not maxed out my level there yet) and perhaps it was just a bad day on the network or something, but I have to say, I think the lag on the PSN is worse than XBL. I was getting way more of the "Oh Bullshit!" deaths yesterday. ("Oh Bullshit!" deaths are those ones where you look at the TV and yell "Oh Bullshit!" because it just couldn't have happened without some kind of lag/programming issue.)

That works probably about 80% of the time. Often you'll just hang there until it decides that it can't migrate the lobby and then throws everyone back out, either to the lobby or out of the lobby altogether.

The joys of P2P matchmaking.

 

[Mistral]

If someone "dashboards" it knocks the migration function for a loop and black screens you. It's a cheap way to avoid picking up a loss. Most of the people who do this will end up as either lawyers or used car salesmen.

Don't disconnects count as a loss?

Or does the tracking only occur after a match is over?

I have had that "disconnect" thing happen to me about 10 times now.
Unfortunately it's never been when my team is losing.

As far as a loss in my column I don't really care as I've dropped out of 10-15 matches now when 2-3 people from the other team (or mine for that matter) is doing the care package glitch, It's just not fun with so much rampant cheating going on, I don't want to win or lose that way.
It's seems like every match I've gotten into lately several people are doing it.

I try to figure out who they are and block from playing with them again.

I'll be so glad when they fix that. Sadly it will probably be just in time for BF2

Quitting is a loss-dashboarding gets around this to preserve the jerk's record. You'll usually only see it when you start kicking the other team's butts. Last night I was on a 16 kill streak and then-blackness.

Along the same lines someone really doesn't run around with a .50 Cal rifle either.

What a stupid oversight.

Oh well, with BFBC2 around the corner, it won't matter much anyhow.

Anyone know if MS have released the Care Package Glitch fix today?

While I do enjoy slaughtering several glitchers and stealing their care packages, it's getting to be really old now.

It came out today and non playing mo fo's are getting owned now, I love it!!

Yesterday afternoon and evening I had a marathon session on th PS3 version, and after awhile it became clear I was the host for all these games (I was the ONLY one with consistently full green bars throughout ALL games.) I know this comes under the heading of something "Captain Obvious" would say, but good grief is this game slanted to the host's advantage.

I was like a different player. And it isn't because I suddenly got better, it was because I wasn't getting the "Oh Bullshit!" deaths all time. It was such a different experience I don't know how I"m ever going to go back to playing when I'm not the host.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Being the host is always the best option in P2P gaming, host advantage can make one hell of a difference, but as long as your getting a good ping you should have quite a few good games, Gears was also another game that if you were the host you just ran riot.
