I don't use the same weapon all the time. Odds are I'll have 300 kills within the next 5 levels of getting it, and have everything unlocked shortly afterwards. In that time, I'll probably get red or blue tiger.

I'm in the same boat. I enjoy using a lot of different weapons, depending on the map also. I'm on my 2nd Prestige now, and I'm going to unlock fall for the m4 before using anything else this time.

How prestiging should work:

1) Weapon Camo is unlocked via the prestige headshot challenge
2) First 5 prestiges unlock "additional" custom class slots
3) Last 5 prestiges allow modification of the preset classes - allowing you to make a custom setup for the later weapons, etc. and keeping unlocked perks. Use of these classes will not count towards challenges though unless those items are unlocked, and perk challenges won't work.

Played a few rounds early this morning as I couldn't sleep. Took me one round to get back into the groove (I've played maybe a total of 45 mins in the past 3 weeks, too many other games to play!). Lots of 2nd and 3rd prestige people who were pretty terrible including one guy who was absolutely convinced that camping in the cockpit of the plane on Terminal was a great idea...even after I killed him there 4 or 5 times. I need to work on the UMP45 so that I'll have it set up to hit 500 prestige kills when I next prestige (granted, I have 21 levels to get ready...I just don't like using it).

Played a game on Derailed and picked my sprinter MP5K class and started on the TF141 side. Ran to the center building and upstairs. Hit the top of the stairs right when two enemies walked in the room and started spraying...can't believe I killed 'em both as they BOTH had dual Rangers. Waited until we had two guys in the building and ran out to go hunting. We destroyed 'em that match...they kept trying to take said center building and our guys just sat tight. Lots of fun.

i have my killstreaks setup for care package, emergency care package, chopper gunner.

i've gotten a few 30-3 rounds by drops alone lol and being called a hacker.
as long as you can defend once you call for the packages, it's pretty easy to steam
roll thru the opposition.

I don't think I could hit 11 kills without any assistance from other killstreaks often enough for it to be worth it. Remember, care packages and emergency air drops don't add to your streak, only your points. But some people are just way better than me.

Harrier / Pave Low / Chopper Gunner is probably the best line up ... best lineup to get to Nuke is probably Pave Low / Chopper Gunner / TacNuke using Hard Line.

I have to disagree, I think the best is:
(5) Predator missile
(7) Harrier Strike
(11) Chopper Gunner/AC130

Its fairly easy to get to 5 kills, esp if someone else on your team has UAV. If you can manage to get a double kill with the missile you instantly have a harrier. Typically Harrier gets 3-4 kills right off the bat if the other team is lazy and doesn't shoot it down asap. That'll get you to 11 kills for the CG or the AC130, depending on the map you can get at least another 6 kills from that. If you play it right you can do all that twice in a game.

plus I believe the pavelow bug is still in the game which doesn't add its kills to your killstreak

That used to be my lineup, and I'm really fond of it - but I've found that sometimes the predator can be unreliable. You can't be killed during the harrier and pave low, so it does increase your odds of continuing.

I use those killstreaks as well, though depending on the map sometimes I use sentry gun instead of predator.

Though it seems I'm constantly calling in predator missiles which I aim right for an enemy, only to see him die to one of my teammates just before the damn thing reaches the ground. :\

This game hates me.

The problem with the Pave Low is that unless it's the first Pave Low OR Sentry Gun called in for the whole match, it won't count toward your kill streak. Both of those rewards are affected.

The Pave Low is still a great way to get kills and you don't have to leave yourself defenseless in a corner somewhere, but it's better as a final killstreak because of that bug.

This used to be mine, too, but Harriers and Pave Lows are dropping like flies these days. Most teams have several stingers ready.

Honestly, I've never experienced it. Though, to be quite fair, I mainly use it as a distraction, if anything. A lot of players don't use cold blooded, so they will "freak out" and worry more about the Pave Low or Harrier than anything else.

this game gets on my nerves sometimes with people automatically yelling "camper! ffcken camping!" To the point I yell back "stupid noob running" and then the game vocally goes down hill from there. Almost never fails.

just because I'm using a sniper rifle? I AM using a sniper rifle and usually the Intervention with a single shot! Isn't that what snipers do? besides, I never stay in one position, there's no action. I run around like I have an assault or sub using my sniper in close quartered favored maps and still pop people with better angle positioning. I hear my gamertag called out and camper this, camper that...etc. all game. *sigh*

and if I was camping? well, after I shot you, you know where I am. Advantage goes to you right? throw a grenade there then! Oops, just shot you again, but this time from the opposite building. "ffcken camper!" You called me a camper, but I mysteriously shot you from the opposite building?

some players just can't get over the fact or adjust their game that some players like using a little more skill instead of brainlessly running around running and gunning with their sub, assault or MG. And with the exception of the subs, you can still hit people from long distance with those guns. but still they cry and yell "camper"

yes, I like using the sniper rifles. I personally think, in my opinion, it takes a little more skill to line up a shot, instead of spraying in the general direction with a MG. I enjoy the one shot one kill satisfaction, and the headshot kills is just icing on the cake. I'm sure many players here love that sensation too! In MW1, I use to run around on the main lower deck with just the M40A3 sniper rifle on the Container map (the freighter boat). The most sniper unfriendly map (without hiding in the upper deck).

These guys crying about camping should be crying and yelling to those guys that noob tube all game. Zero skill really, it's not like you have to hit the target, just shoot the grenade near them and you got a kill. You don't even have to aim, just fire from the hip. It's a big joke when they come in 1st in FFA and said they just owned all of us. Smack talking from noob tubing all game...LOL...umm, yeah, okay.

/end rant


whew! now that I'm done ranting, going to go back and frustrate these guys with my "camping"

"Camping" is different than strategic placement. If you're hiding in a high traffic area, that isn't camping, it's being smart. Camping is hiding in an off-the-wall area waiting for someone to walk by, and ending the game with only 5 kills.

What bugs me more than campers are the damn knife runners. Usually it means they suck at everything except knifing. A guy absolutely destroyed me on Favela, went like 30-3 using only a tac knife, probably 10 of those kills were from me. Next map on Sub Base, he sucked with a gun(just like I thought he would) went something like 12-19 and I know I got him at least 5 times.

As much as I hate it when I get sniped, I have to give it to the guys that are really good. Not the ones that hide out and just wait, but the ones that constantly move around the map and still get me, that's skill.

I started a thread on this very subject and got the flaming of my life. I agree with you, "camping" as a slur in the game is getting tiring, but if I ever listened to what these people say then I would also be a black, jewish, retarded, gay peodophile.

game last night i had was funny, wasteland, i was using the m21 build (silencer, commando pro, stopping power pro, ninja pro) anyways i joined when the game was close to being over, i sprinted over to the church side and there was a sniper there already, he missed his shot and i g18'd him somehow lol, so i continue to move against that side up towards the wrecked cars. and sure enough, the sniper guy comes back over to the church side to take me out throwing fb's randomly trying to see where i was, i just picked him off and moved again, repeat 7x and i went 7-2 due to being
predator'd and chopper'd. all my kills were on him.

he must have wanted to kill me bad cuz he kept coming back and cussing @ me calling me a noob and saying i'm hiding like a little bitch.

usually if i get picked off by a sniper, i don't really care about counter-sniping him, i just continue moving around the map looking for other targets and if i encounter him again, cool. he has to much of an advantage against you as he would have moved already by the time you make it back to where you got shot. but of course you have those guys who camp the same exact spot no matter how many times you kill them.

I had a funny one too last night. Started off at bottom of escalators. Travel to area underneath plane cockpit. See a guy jump down from A, and kill him. Same guy comes back to find me there. He jumps down and turn a round, killed him again. He does the samething, but I'm on the other side of him and I kill him again. He tries one more time, and dies again. I'm out of ammo at this point, but got a predator, and then harrier. Died eventually while trying to find a gun to pick up.

lol, i do find myself out of ammo often, i should probably use scavenger pro at some point, since a lot of times i hate the weapons i pick up.

i tried using the m16 again last night after not using it for a long time, and i was horrible with it, i put the holo sight on it because someone said it did more damage, i think i do better with just the iron sights even with lesser damage.

for awhile there everyone was shooting down harriers/choppers but lately it seems nobody is equipping launchers, so i started carrying one again, easier than just hiding in a building for the 2-3 minutes it's out there.

Holo sight only increases damage on the FAL, it doesn't up the damage on the M16. Luigi said that it increases the accuracy, I've never tested that before though.

The M16 is a good weapon, I'd put Stopping Power on it to make it a 2-3 hit kill weapon. At mid-long range with decent accuracy it's tough to beat.

I play on PC, but when there is a harrier/chopper and I die, I immediately hit escape and switch classes to a class that has cold blooded, scavenger and a launcher. Blows my mind that no one else thinks of that...
