Yes Monkey, you are right in the bars.
I find the same. I do better when its more evenly universal.
I dont care if I have a small orange bar as long as everyone else in the game does too.

I hate having full green bars facing yellow ones, or having yellow ones facing full green one.
Latency at its finest. The matchmaker finds one host in the lobby and thats what ultimately determines what your latency will be that game.


I was nuked out of a domination last night again.
At least it was my team who dropped it.

I love domination, and some of the other obj.
TDMs are just too random.
At least in obj game you know where to expect most of the action to be taking place.

The kill cam isn't what the other person is seeing. It is what the server is seeing. When it is really off, you are lagging. The yellow bars are certainly lag. One of the major problems with P2P hosting is that if the host is in another country you are screwed.

True, the other night I joined Sixy in a TDM and was doing fine... Next game, exactly the same people but I ended up opposing him and I couldn't get a kill without shooting them from hiding or sneaking up behind.

No wonder everybody camps this game.

TDM sucks, Domination is where it's at.

I like Domination a lot, I just know that skirmishes killed my k/d's when I started resistance 2. I've tried not to fall in love with it. It's so tempting to run for the flags only to get crushed by people hiding out.

The lag on this game is almost unbearable. It's just so obvious when I have a good connection and I start creaming everyone. Next they are killing me with one shot.

Hopefully I can get on a little while Tues and Weds. Otherwise, my gaming will be non-existent this week.

I had a few rounds of FFA and TDM on Friday lunchtime and was getting massacred. It seemed that I could put two Barret .50 cal rounds into someone and they'd take no damage and then they'd kill me with one shot. I thought it was just me being bad at the game. Could it be that it was just lag? Sigh. Are there any online FPS that won't kill me with lag? I thought R2 was bad.

On a Friday lunchtime? You shouldn't have a problem then, bud... It normally goes mammary-skyward for me about 9 - 9.30pm. I'm guessing when a lot of American kids hop online after school.

I go from first or second place to struggling to get kills. Then you get smack talk on top.. And if you dare to mention to one of them that it's because they're lagging.

Again, I see myself get killed with one shot, and then on the kill cam I get shot about ten times. The animations just can't keep up. It's so frustrating. Still a crazy addicting game.

Whats frustating is that when I see the kill cam of the guy who killed me standing still after I emptied an entire clip his way while looking down the barrell with the red dot sight and yet all the bullets missed him.

Bitch be using magic bullet shields.

The lag is bad, true. But I think what's killing me the most is lack of knowledge. I don't know the maps very well, and it seems like there are about a million places to camp any given spot from.

I think my worst game so far was last night in a Domination game with Six. I kept getting spawn killed at point C. And when that didn't happen, I was killed by a guy in a chopper, or a harrier, or lag. The other team camps or spawn kills to get streaks, and those practically assure that their team stays in the lead since I can't live long enough to fight back.
It's very frustrating.

It does be. Yet we continuasly go back for more. Does that make us Masochists

You get on the wrong side of a killstreak on the wrong map and you’re as good as gone in this game. Once you get to 7 kills and get a Harrier then it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll have a chopper in a matter of minutes. Both of those on an open map is hell to get away from.

Does the harrier add to your kill streak? Have we figured out which ones do and which ones don't?

Thought they all did...

I take the fun where I can find it. Happily, even though I can go 4 for 20, the game still gives me Accolades for things such as ending a guy's kill streak, coming back from a death streak, using the most weapons, getting the largest multiple kill, etc. etc. Small mercies, I know, but they do compensate somewhat. And on Friday I got one of those semi-random frag kills. Saw fire coming from the other side of a hedge, so I looked at the radar and saw a blob on the map quite some distance away. So I pointed myself in roughly the right direction and lobbed a frag good and high. 1 second later: 100 points!!!! That guy must have gone WTF?! and then sworn at me when he saw the kill cam.

I know they all don't cause I've certainly had choppers and sentry guns mowing people down and it didn't give me extra kill streaks. I heard someone say they thought it was only one's you control, like being the chopper gunner vs just pave low, etc. I can't figure out which ones do and which ones don't. Right now I use the care package, predator missile, and attack helli.

The ones you get from crates don’t count towards streaks. All the others do.

A Harrier from a crate, no.
A Harrier at 7 kills, yes.

I've started using the care package lately, but not as a perk for myself, as a lure for my growing Claymore fetish.

Pick a nice spot with only one entrance and maybe some foliage to hide said explosive device, drop the flare and retreat to a safe distance, LoL.

Ohhhhhhh, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks Hoos.

Nice tactic. Work much?

How many times have you tried to steal someone's care package in the game?

Other teams...all the time. Guys I'm with - only if they get killed before they can pick it up....

I see a couple people talking about lag...for me, so far MW2 is WAY better than COD4 was for that....even on ground war the lag usually isn't that bad...maybe it's cause you're across the pond?...

Some little sh** did that to me the other day. I was standing right there, pressed square and it wouldn't work cause he was already stealing it. I pretty much cursed him out. Hopefully his parents weren't around.

Not often do I go for care packages, feckers get to them before me.

You should, Liam... Especially if it's in an FFA with me.

I hear that some of them have hentai coupons.
