Got absolutely screwed in a Domination game yesterday. The game is progressing along when suddenly the other team launches a nuke. We are all like WTF.

Turns out two little scrubs, one on each team, used tactical insertion to sit in the corner and the guy on our team let the other guy kill him until he got the nuke. What kind of loser does this crap? So annoying.

Happens a hell of a lot in FFA too... You'll see one guy at the top of the leaderboard 30 kills + and his buddy at the bottom, zero kills and 30 + deaths.

It wouldn't take much to stop it either, just don't let multiple kills of the same person count. 2 - 3 should be okay but when you reach 8 - 9 kills in a row on the same guy it's obvious that shenani is ganning on.

Yeah, found two noobs doing that yesterday on Favela, they were on the SE corner of the map, I saw a Tactical Insertion next to this camper, then some other noob come up and let himself get knifed. I was like WTF? Then I knew they were up to no good. I stabbed the newb, then aimed my sights on the Tactical thingy, BAM! Headshot. Not very tactical in my opinion...

I love doing that to people.

Last night we had a game end on a Nuke with the guy in first place on 67 - 1.

GG's with everybody though, I'm really starting to like my WA2000 w/thermal now.

i just unlocked the WA2000. How long does it take to get the thermal sight?

Nice weapon babe.
I unlocked my Thermal sight with the FAL.
Its weird how I have to hold down L3 like Im sniping to use it when I zoom in with the FAL, doesnt really make it fun =(


Eat- Depends on how much you use it sir, it should be one of the last attachments you gain.

ok. I have all the attachments for the SCAR. Maybe I should use the WA2000 exclusively for a while.

Oh, and I tried Hoos's sniping school tips. Fortunately I used a spare account because those 1 for 24s I was getting sure do hurt.

Yeah, thats the way to practice Eat!
I have another account that I use for example:
Throwing Knife, Commando, Mrathon= so much fun
Sniping only with Barret and M21
and ma Riot Shield, because nothing says fun than beatin' a newb with a shield.

If you go exclusive with it, it shouldn't take long at all... Beware that ACOG though, if you haven't got quick-scoping down by then, having to get 20 ACOG kills with it can be akin to tearing off your own eyelids and getting a vinegar facial.

Just played three rounds with it as my primary. Oooh, I can't hit the side of a barn with it.

Don't forget that it's a semi-auto... Get into the double-tap habit (maybe even triple) with each scope-in. And remember if you do get the kill, move to another area where you can see where you've just been.

yeah, and try to use it as an assault rifle, just line up your cross hairs(without zoom) chest level, and get as close to an enemy as possible and start taking them out fast!

Yeah, I tried all that. I keep getting out the SP12 shotty instead at close quarters -- that thing is LETHAL!

Yes, it does! Also the AA-12 is pretty kick ass.
I wish we could have akimbo with shottys, that would rule.

You can. I've seen plenty of people with akimbo Model 1887s.

Oh, when I said SP12 I meant AA-12 -- that's the one I was using today.

LoL, I spent most of last night's lobby time swapping out my 1884's because they got nerfed in the last patch.

Started using the TMP last night with my WA2000, got the silencer on it now and it seems a pretty cool SMG for running between sniper-haunts.

I used the WA2000 one map. I ended up shooting high the entire round and gave it up.

It takes time but you'll get better and better. I expect a montage once you've got it down.

Hahaha, sniping newb. =)

I has failed.

They've nerfed the 1887s? Dang it! I was yearning to get to Level 67 just so I could try those babies out. What, are they just like regular shotties now?

@Hoos: you didn't see how bad I was. Not sure I'll ever be a quick scoper.

I tried some of the quick scoping last night in some FFA matches like shown in Hoos' video. I mustn't have the timing down for it, although I did find that when I used a Scar with bling (heartbeat+acog) it allowed me to get set up for kills better than usual.

I average 10 kills per match and usually die a few more times than that; anyone have any pointers on how to survive a bit longer? I seem to have the biggest problem with people running around with akimbo loadouts just blasting away.

Anyone know if the silencer reduces the AA12 shotgun's spread? I seem to kill fewer people with it since I put the silencer on.

Also, I thought Ninja & Coldblooded made you invulnerable to Claymores. I'm sure I recall Claymores detonating ahead of me as I approached. But today I got killed by one. Have I been imagining my immunity up till now? NVM, just looked it up and it was Scrambler that put a delay on Claymores and I haven't used Scrambler in a while as it alerts enemies to your presence.

For me it's all about defense. I use stopping power and corners A LOT. The kills in this game are just too quick to do much else. I'm not one to camp or sit around, but I will move very slowly around objects.

Yeah, I try not to sprint about unless I'm using my cold-blooded perk. Sometimes I'll do it on purpose to attract people to a pinch point, then I'll switch direction and walk back the way I just came. When they show up about a minute later I take them out with a silenced weapon, that way you don't give away your exact position to the enemy.

Quick scoping is by far the hardest thing to do so it won't come overnight. It took me a while to get it down. I started working on it on World at War and took some beatings on Dome as I tried it out. You almost learn how to do it out of sure desperation.

It is also a little harder to do it on MW2 than it was COD4. The M40A3 on COD4 was God's gift to sniping. That thing was like running around with a pistol.

BTW, I broke my loooooooong drought last night and launched a nuke on scrapyard. I was erect.
