You weren't online

I will play with you sponge.

I'd play online with you Sponge, if you were actually online at the times I'm online -_-

is it just me, or are FFAs much easier to do well in than TDMs?

Can be. I think it's a couple of things. You don't have to worry about team coordination against you. Camping, yeah, but not a Team camping you. Plus, it's part of the mentality. No one has your back, so whether or not you're aware of it, your reaction is slightly heightened and you're a bit more aware. With a team mate at your back you might relax a bit.

The matchmaker puts you with people of closer ping level, something it can't do when matching parties of differing connection rates.

"Do well" is different than "do well & WIN".

There are different pros & cons to each mode. For instance, in TDM you can use your teammates as meat shields & enemy position indicators. You can also get gang banged, however. In FFA, you have to rely on your own senses & radar awareness may be a bit more important. Speed seems to be rewarded a bit more, as well. There's also no real spawn camping in FFA. You can "monitor" it, but just setting yourself up in basically one place won't work indefinitely. People will come get you &/or you may be back-spawned. Also, revenge spawns are much more prevalent in FFA. (>_<) Being paranoid is very advantageous in the mode. There is more. My 2 cents.

Well, I was surpised by a 23-11 FFA win last night...

Nice job.

Depends if you're in a decent party or not. Here's why I really dislike merc TDM's:

Spoiler:

...and we lost. TDM's in a party are great...solo - not so much.

Loadout: TAR w/silencer, Marathon Pro, Stopping Power Pro, Ninja Pro, + Claymore, Killstreaks: UAV, Predator, Harrier
Map: Rundown
Strat: Follow the action. Started out in the jungle half of the village then concentrated mostly on the central building with the mini-gun. Kept going in the far end in the house by the central ditch and running back and forth getting people as they came in.

Last time I played a FFA I went 5-25 and came in dead last, that's why I don't play them anymore.

'Tis a very sound strat for FFA on Rundown. Your loadout is perfect for it. Silenced TAR with SP is an insane weapon.

smilar thing happened to me today. went 25-6 and we still lost. i managed to get my chopper gunner for the first time since unlocking it last time i was on. i got a 22 kill streak in that go after i started 0-4 and brought my team back from 2 kills down to 10 above about mid way through the game. it was something like 6500 to 5000 and somehow we still lost. we only needed 10 kills

That happened to me too a couple of games later, but one bad game doesn't nullify all the good ones.

Seems to work well, though I find I use less ammo with the UMP. My aim tends to drift a bit, so a lot of deaths come down to the other guy just being a better shot. That and Super Soldiers.

lol my accuracy is horrid. if i dont manage to get the initial shot, im probably not going to get the kill
i tend to do ok most of the time. those super soldiers an OMA guys are the worst to deal with

It wouldn't, you're correct, but that's the result about 80% of the time.
