I would play more if they fix the matchmaking so connection quality is the first thing it looks for and not player skill. I'm in Illinois, getting matched against players from Brazil is loving stupid. I have a 1.4 k/d, I'm sure there's plenty of people with similar stats to mine in my state.

Nope. You're the best. A State champion, if you will. Now we have to stick you with the next closest people... halfway across the loving planet. :argh:

I don't hate AW at all, I just got sucked into the maw of DAI. Now that I'm just about done with my 2nd playthrough I'll be playing more AW because sometimes it's nice to just shoot mans for a bit with drunk goons.

I really liked MW3 too.

But I really just want another MW2 where all guns are fun to use, killstreaks are hilariously overpowered and the Nuke ends the the game ruining everyone's fun. :allears:




Also bring back stopping power, that balances stealth perks.

How do I get good at multiplayer? I shoot a guy in the face a dozen times, he turns around, laughs then shoots the little hairs off my leg and I keel over. Where are these super powerful assault rifles that kill people in two hits? I want in on the winners' club.

I really like the dodging and stuff, though - reminds me of Unreal Tournament 99. Really enjoying multiplayer despite me being horrible. Just wish they'd ditch this unlock system. I'll never use sniper rifles, but that's my next unlock. How about unlocking all the SMGs and Assault Rifles first? Because I actually use those!

Anybody want to play? I'm sitting at the main menu trying to name my classes, but the game is making it very difficult because everything is a profanity. Support is apparently a profanity and I can only assume this is because it has "pp" in it.

And all it took was for Activision to finally give Call of Duty a new engine. This one they got feels so drat visceral and real and the jumpy mechanics make it much more fun.

Now, those guns you get from those supply drops, are they permanent? What's the deal with that Bloodsomethingorother helmet that only lasts 30 minutes? This stuff is confusing and I didn't think I'd ever say that about a Call of Duty game. Keep in mind this is the first modern game I've played since 4, so I'm still catching up.

Anything in your armory is permanent. So all weapons. You can also redeem some guns/gear for xp.


The bloodshed whatever helmet is from getting a 5 kill streak. I think you get gloves, boots, and other poo poo for 10 or more, or some poo poo.


Pretty much it's pointless and I wish there was a way to take them out

With the next clan wars coming up we should probably alter the roster to adjust for the people that are still actually playing the game. It's possible to sit out certain clan members without removing them from the clan, right?

I've been preaching this since they removed it. Make that cold blooded as strong as you want, just make stopping power a thing you have to give up to get it. They've made the perks so specialized and then gave us the option to have so many at once that it watered the whole thing down. And maybe that's exactly what they wanted.
What I'd really like to see is a cod with three set kill streaks with a few options for each, like 3 kills is a Uav or counter Uav, 5 kills is a pred missile or a bombing run and 7 (or 9) kills is a chopper or dogs or whatever. Three tiers of perks that are all strong but you're giving something up when you choose one. Pistols and shotguns that are viable were fun also. Don't make the fun stuff gimped all to hell, just make it so using it comes with a counter to it that is just as strong.
It just felt like to me :corsair: the more complicated it's gotten the less I've enjoyed it. I can't wait until they release the cod4 through blops2 for the new consoles. Blops2 was pretty good even though theatre mode ruined the connections.

Hell yeah.

Also I will be blowing this clan wars up again other than Thursday where I will go out and get shitfaced, log in for one dom win and then pass out. If anyone's around I will totally, totally accept invites but otherwise I'll be whoring Kill Confirmed and the less popular game modes like a champ. Except anything with "search" in the title.

Big thanks to the pubbies on Solar who somehow let me go 62-0. "Oh, paladins and warbirds? Guess I'll continue to run to the flags without blind eye on."

We only have people with time played as the active clan war roster with is just over half of the members. There's no easy way to quickly determine if people have recently played. The feature to show who the most active members were in the last clan war is broken in that it doesn't show name, but that wouldn't be all that helpful anyway since an active member could have been busy that weekend.

After only playing CoD4 a tiny bit and disliking it since I was into Halo with roomates at the time, I got CoDAW on a whim and I love the exo suit stuff. Is this the first game double-jumping/airdashing/backdashing/sliding is in CoD? It makes the movement feel so much more dynamic to me.
