Destroyed or disappeared?

If the enemy team mate who equipment you are hacking is killed, his stuff disappears.
You may have been in the process of hacking, but someone killed the guy.

So here's my main loadouts (Note, the third one I'm going to add soon)

Loadout 1: Famas w/Red Dot/Dual Mag
Perk 1: Ghost,
Perk 2: Warlord
Perk 3: Hacker
Lethal: Frag
Tactical: Flash
Equipment: Claymore

Loadout 2: AK-74u w/Grip/Dual Mag
Perk 1: Ghost,
Perk 2: Warlord
Perk 3: Hacker
Lethal: Frag
Tactical: Flash
Equipment: Claymore

Loadout 3: AUG w/ Silencer or Dual Mags
Perk 1: Hardline
Perk 2: Steady Aim
Perk 3: Hacker
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Flash
Equipment: Claymore

I know needs some more variety, but I want to know if anything there explains why I see to lose every one on one even when I get the first shot off.

Is this the case for Sentry Guns? I thought they hung around after you had died.

How gutted would you be if you had spent ages hacking a piece of equipment for it to dissapear as you walked away? lol

1.do you suffer from much lag?this can explain why you lose 1v1 a lot

2.when you go into a 1v1 do you stand still? if so this will make you a sitting duck and easy to kill.
as you start shooting move sideways at the same time as you shoot your enemy will miss a few hits on you as long as you
keep your cross heir over him you will come out on top .best place to practice that is in combat training just
put the difficulty up .if you dont put it up the test dummys will be to easy to kill and you wont go in
to many 1v1s so make the difficulty high.
you could also through in a jump or a duck it can put your enemy off giving you the edge and the kill.
3.when you go around corners always be looking down the sight not from the hip .shooting off the hip you will lose often
This is my assault riffle class i use and i do ok.

AK47+extended mags
cross bow (is hard but fun)
perks.
1.scavenger pro
2.hardened pro
3.hacker pro

Semtex
flash
claymore

this what i use i am not an awesome player but i can get 15-20 kills a match with out getting any killstreaks

When you hack a Sentry gun, it drops forward like you've destroyed it but then it becomes one of your defenses, acting just as if you've placed it there yourself. When someone destroys it after that you hear, "The enemy have destroyed your Sentry gun!"

GG's Seyel and Evey last night, after we got out of those ridiculous Uber-camp-noob-tube-fest Demolition matches.

1: Yes, I do

2: No, I usually crouch then go prone usually just cause that makes me gets headshots all the time for some reason

Always be on a random movement path when faced with a target.

Much easier to do when you're drunk

I drink so I can be random! Sometimes I'm so random I just giggle rather than duck and weave.

Trouble is it also means I'm usually deciding which of the two blurred targets to aim at.

It also makes me much happier if I can blame alcohol rather than lag for my terrible gaming performances.

I'm good against groups. Or with them. Whichever makes me sound more perverted.

The latter Lesus!

That one then.

Dirty minx..


I have decided to quit trying MP and stick with Zombies until further notice.

When is R3 out?

Please let it be better than this.

Finally completed the story last night and likes the map 5 a lot more than the other one. Online is ok, I don't suck as much as in MW2, still have a positive KDR, but that is sure to change very soon and I'll stay in zombie mode like Sponge, unless I have some friends who want me in a party with them.

Maybe they will announce something during the VGAs on Spike Saturday cause they have that preview thing, but my guess is fall 2011. Though I hope I'm wrong and it comes out earlier...

But I think they will have a live demo at E3 like they did for R2 and say it will be out in the fall.

In old MW2 news today: TDM in Favela with M16 + Claymores = 25 for 4.

Good job Eat!!!!

Eattheword: Still pwning newbs since 2009.

Don't worry, I'm getting BOps for Christmas so my normal crappy performance will be resuming soon.

lol, it just takes a few weeks to get use to this game, not for me, but for others I've heard.

What's everyones killstreak set up?

Mine is right now Spy Plane/Care Pack/Attack Helo

even though I've been considering going Spy Plane/Black Bird/ Gunner
any thoughts?

One thing, why use ghost without a silencer? Doesn't that semi defeat the point of ghost and being invisible on the enemy map? Personally on my ghost classes I always have a silencer on the primary weapon anyway.

Another, for your loadout 3, try sleight of hand instead of steady aim, the assault rifles are quite accurate and in my opinion don't need steady aim when hip firing. Using sleight of hand also, when you get the pro version, helps you to aim down the sights better which may help you in your 1 on 1 encounters and give you the edge you need.

I would also recommend using decoy instead of flash as it proves to be useful in diverting attention from where you are and I found that when I used them I would often be killed during the animation of the character throwing the grenade. But this is your choice as flashes are also useful for deactivating enemy equipment... so it's up to you, but you could try it it's what I prefer.

Also try using motion sensor instead of claymore, sure claymore gets you a free kill, but the motion sensor helps you a lot for as long as you are alive. I would highly recommend it, once I found how useful it is I have never gone back to the claymore. One thing I would do is set it up a little distance from where you are, because people with hacker often assume that people camp around them, so I tend to stay within sight so someone trying to destroy it is easy to get to while they are distracted destroying it.

I tried the attack dogs, the helicopter pilot and chopper gunner as my top kill streaks with a collection of other kill streaks before hand. I found that the chopper gunner was the best kill streak to use out of the high end ones, because while the helicopter pilot may net you a few more kills the copper gunner takes two less kills to achieve, the only problem which may make dogs better is that fact that you can't always use it if there's another helicopter in the sky, so you may miss the opportunity to use it but again the dogs are an extra two kills to get.

The kill streaks that I ended up using were spy plane, black-hawk and chopper gunner. The spy plane so it helps out your whole team and you're getting something quite often which helps you get to the higher killstreaks. Then the black-hawk, I haven't quite decided what I like doing, saving it for after you get and use the chopper gunner or using it to help you get the chopper gunner. If I do use it before, then I don't use the chopper gunner till the black-hawk runs out so I can make the most of it. If I use it after I have use the chopper an depending on the amount and score left in the game, I either use it instantly or save it for the next life to help you get easy kills on your next life to get the kill streak rewards again.

Doing this strategy with those kill streaks by the end of the night I was having some amazing games, Looking back at my past 10 games played kd graph not one of the games were under a 3.5kd. So I thought I would share it with you guys, just my opinion though.

Another set of kill streaks I like to use it the three care packages, SAM turret, care package and the sentry gun. Using them with hardline pro which lets you swap the contents of the care packages for a chance of something else (if you want to know the percentages check one of my earlier posts in this thread), this works quite well as you get a reasonable amount of good kill streak rewards each time which makes it worth while. The only thing I don't like about doing this is that if you get killed then the enemy or a team mate could take them all, which we all know sucks so bad.

Anyway those are my current kill streak strategies and it's helping me keep a solid 2.5kd.

Posted that previously in this thread.

My usual set ups now are either Spy Plane/Napalm Strike/Chopper Gunner (my usual) or Sam Turret/Napalm Strike/Chopper Gunner (if I'm using hardline pro). I decided that the black bird is a great useful kill streak but you don't get any free kills out it unlike the napalm strike, so I use the napalm strike now.

lol, mine is the same
i usually use killstreaks that will help the team out. (3,4,5)

how easy it is to kill people that drop

I also do this. The worst bit is when you throw them out when you first respawn, take a gamble and it changes to ammo. There is little point leaving them as you are sat at the spawn point so the team mates you have around you have also just spawned and don't need ammo. I just plant a claymore and collect the package. Had a few cheap spawn kills that way as when the spawn changes the enemy spawn right on top of your claymore. Bet that cheers them up no end.

Another thing, when you are using the care packages kill streak set up. Definitely use tactical insertion, so if you do get killed you can just respawn instantly by your care packages and usually the enemies are to preoccupied with the care packages to notice the tactical insertion.
