You know what's frustrating? Earning a nuke while in Chopper Gunner, and not having the Chopper Gunner end until it's too late to deploy it! The game even lets you push the button as the victory screen pops up, but then nothing happens. *sigh*, I don't get enough nukes to be OK with letting one go.
On the bright side that was a danger close chopper gunner that I single handedly won the game with. On Terminal ground war domination... we pretty much getting spawn raped at A. You know, right by where you would board the plane from inside. Tubes coming down that long hallway. Anyway, after a couple of failed attempts to get out of that spawn point, I send a tube shot down the hallway getting a couple of kills, jump out that window to get outside... get my flank on wit the FAMAS, I finally work my way around the back of the plane and to the back of that bottom part of the main building behind the escalators, which flips the spawns. I climb up the ladder by the propane tank, pick someone off for kill #7, drop the harriers by spawn point A, which is now theirs to deal with, very quickly get to my chopper gunner.... and at that point they were all pinned, with danger close on the chopper gunner they really have no hope at that spawn. Once you get the angle to drop rounds into the doorway there's literally nothing they can do. Just nonstop kills and the "you're damaging someone with painkiller" icon on my screen
, but sadly it wouldn't let me nuke them to put the cherry on top. Still, we won like 200 to 190, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
Not sure if it came from this game or not, but my best kill streak is up to 38. For all its faults I'm still really loving the PC version over the Xbox version.
I've started giving up on shotguns as sidearms. As nice as it is to switch to one going close quarters, I just run out of ammo on my primary too often. Aside from my tube class and my anti-air class they've all migrated to the Raffica... it's much more appealing to have that when I run out of primary ammo instead of trying to sprint in open space to within shotgun range of some jackass before he notices I'm there. Also silenced Shotguns seem to have atrocious range, and I like to stay off the grid so to speak.
