Metal Reviews

well where i play TDM there isn't much coordination. it's a bit like free-for-all but with only half the people to kill lol.

i like domination as there's a sense of direction and places where you're likely to find people, you're not forced to wander around until some camping asshole shoots you in the back (making it his 3rd kill in 15 minutes or something). Headquarters is also great, but the usual 1-minute spawn time when defending is just too much for me.

ak47/ak47u + 3 stun + stopping power + steady aim
is my favourite combo, on a map or two i prefer the SAW (i'll try out the RPD today) with grip.

what do you think about dropping stopping power for double tap or juggernaut on the ak47?

Only take Double Tap when you use Bandoliers, otherwise you'll burn through your ammo too fast. And don't take Juggernaut; dealing damage is more important than taking it.

On HC I tend to take Stopping Power with my AK, one-hit kills at all ranges and in all body parts. No spraying, but careful single shots, and no red dot sight either as the AK's iron sights are very practical. I can get humongous scores lying on an overpass and guarding a tunnel exit, I shoot the buggers in their legs before they are anywhere near spotting me.

so you're a camper too? nice

Well that's just on Showdown, it's either camp or be camped on that map. Mostly I rush like hell with my aforementioned MP5 setup.

I remember why I gave up on CoD4 multiplay: grenade launchers.

My favorite set up;

AK47 silenced + Bombsquad or Bandolier + UAV jammer + Dead Silence.

I like Extreme Conditionnig with my RPD because I am always running around with it. I never stop and stay in just one spot. Extreme Conditioning allows me to get from one side of the map to the other pretty damn quick. That's just me though, I know everybody prefers different perks.

As for the PC/console differences, first off using a mouse and keyboard makes it much easier to rack up the kills where with a controller it's pretty much whoever shoots first usually wins. I've noticed while playing on the PC that it is normal to get 20+ kills every match, where on the console having a 20+ match means you usually did the best.

As for me playing you tonight on PC, if that was directed towards me, I can not. Sorry. I don't actually own the PC version, my friend does and I play it on his computer. Even he usually goes back to playing it on his PS3 though, because he complains about getting his ass kicked on the PC where on the PS3 he usually does pretty decent.

Anyway, rant over.

That and random grenades. That shit is so annoying.

2 other setups I use quite regularly:

P90 with red dot scope, stopping power, bandolier, and steady aim

or

M16 with red dot scope, stopping power, frag grenadex3, and deep impact

what i hate even more than campers is fucking martyrs. seriously, how fucking lame can you get? the server where i play the most even has a "NO MARTY OR GRENADE LAUNCHER" rule, but not only do people do it anyway when others complain they don't even seem to read.

i hope all the martyrs die... and their grenades don't explode.

So I re-watched the Modern Warfare 2 trailer, and I can just picture some of the new multiplayer levels. I can't wait, November is too far away.

I'll probably have to skip that game for a while, PC is getting too old.

Cave Story

This game is pretty damn cool so far.

That's my biggest problem with PC gaming. After a year or 2, your PC starts to really show it's age. Where consoles are like a fine wine, they get better with time.

I currently have a PS3(PS2/PS1), PC, Sega Gensis, SNES, N64, and a Dreamcast hooked up to my tv.. and then I see noodles wants us to not fap in june, with that set up Im fappin every fuckin day in june

yea but controllers + FPS = total fail.
At least for me... Can't beat keyboard and mouse.

Plus one. How people get headshots with a gamepad is beyond me.

With skill.

And the slight auto-aiming consoles do for you, I guess

In case anyone missed MS's E3 conference, this is what was shown:
