camping is because they nerfed our health so every joe that picks up this game can get a kill. You've got about half the health of cod4. Before the weak ass p90 would take 5+ shots to kill now it's 3.

I don't know what COD4 you played, but the P90 in the one I played was the most kickass-uberpwnage gun there was. P90 with Bandolier and whatever the increased Rate of Fire perk was called was probably the best combo in the game. They nerfed it bigtime in this game though.

p90 shots are weak but it made up for it, with the clip, fire rate, low recoil. weak bullets not a weak gun. Now go split screen take a p90 and try to kill someone across the street. It takes a number of shot 4+ probably.

The P90 is the most amazing gun for close-quarters ever made. They had to nerf it, because it's so amazingly awesome that the only thing that could possibly beat it is akimbo mp7's.

So does the UAV stay online for a certain amount of time? Or until it gets shot down? Can you shoot them down? What do they look like? What does UAV stand for?

What else affects the radar? Silencers. Ninja. Heartbeat. UAV. EMP. Anti-UAV.

UAV (known in the real world as the MQ-1B Predator Drone) stays up for a certain amount of time but it can be shot down as well. They look like this:

And firing said "Predator Missile":

UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

What else affects the radar? Silencers and Cold Blooded make it so that you don't show up on radar, EMP eliminates the enemy radar (and all electrical devices), and radar jammer makes the enemy's radar all fuzzy when you are close to them, Counter UAV makes all the enemy's radar fuzzy but it's another UAV and can be shot down pretty easily.

Same, I hold on to mine until I've got a secure location and then I drop it. If that never happens then oh well.

I don't recommend using radar jammer. I used it for a while and noticed I did worse with it, then I realized that when someone else is using radar jammer I know they're near me. As they get closer the jamming gets stronger. Unless you're moving fast, it's easy for your opponents to get ready for you.

Exactly why I never use it. Even if I can't use my radar when you're jamming it if suddenly my radar gets even slightly fuzzy I know you're around. It's almost a handicap.

If you're running around on your own or trying to hold a position by yourself, the radar jammer can be a hindrance. But if you're with a group of people I think it's useful because the enemy won't know how many of you are there or where exactly you are (above? below? everywhere?).

I was able to hold down a bunker and take out 9 enemies on my own because I had the radar jammer and they knew I was there but they had no idea where I was. Even their flash bangs and stun grenades were no match for my radar jammer + AA-12.

It does make it extremely easy to find lone wolves who are trying to snipe people from afar.

will i miss anything if i buy this game used?

 

[AstroManLuca]

Only the "unboxing experience," which is overrated IMO. And maybe a 48-hour Xbox Live trial code. But you probably won't save much money getting it used... even CoD 4 was selling for $40-$50 used until MW2's release.

 

[R Nilla]

Only the experience of unwrapping cellophane and peeling the stickers off of a brand new game. And that fresh new game smell when you open the case.

But no, you won't miss anything. There aren't any used-game-deterrent map codes or anything like that.

 

[Kabob]

Content-wise nope, but Luigi is right, CoD 4 was still commanding 50-65% of it's original price up until a few months before MW2's release.

prob will find some guy on craigslist...

Had a 27 Killstreak yesterday, but no nuke

Seems the longer I play in a day they worse I get. At first I play all cautious and slow and I do good. Then I get sick of it and try to run and gun and get my ass handed to me. I need to learn from my mistakes.

 

[Kabob]

I've got 4 killstreaks I can unlock but I don't really want to. I really like the combo of Care Package, Predator Missile, and Pave Low as it is.

I've changed to Harrier, Pave Low, Nuke ... I haven't tried that out yet (just got my most recent unlock) but the Harrier and Pave Low seem to get you a good amount of kills. I just want to get a Nuke once.

 

[Kabob]

I've no interest in getting a nuke, I've hit 25 kills in a row before though. Guess it's nice for the bragging rights.

Was just in a game where someone let off a nuke. Question...the game ended as soon as the nuke went off and everyone died. Was that because we were at the kill limit or does the nuke actually end the game?

 

[smackababy]

Nuke ends the game.

You probably hit the kill limit. Was it TDM? Because if they guy already had 25 kills in a row, that's already giving his team a lot of kills. Add in all his teammates' kills and the nuke itself and it probably reached the score limit.

EDIT: Really, the nuke always ends the game? Does it always result in a victory for the person who set it off, even if their team has less points?

Is that how they get around the problem of radiation?

What's in the care package?

What's in the care package?

Toiletries

 

[Kev]

does the FMJ attachment compare in any way to stopping power?
