The Machete

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:02:30 GMT

I really wish that we were able to use that machete on our backs during certain matches. Almost all jungle-geared avatars in the game are carrying one, but we have no access to use the thing. I would gladly use that as a secondary weapon.

Ah well, better go find my tomahawk. It's in the river somewhere.

Looks like a bouncing betty and a fold out gun.

Survival looks badass! I'm looking very forward to that!

Of the trailers, videos and gameplay that I've seen, I think it's going to be amazing. Given Infinity Ward's track record with MW and MW2, I'm extremely excited for MW3. I've pre-ordered it and have put all money from any game trades toward my pre-order. I'm very excited to play it.

I'm equally excited for BF3 as well. I think they're both going to be awesome.

And that is why I am done with CoD.

That's your opinion and I'm sure that it's valid in your point of view. My advice would be not to play the game. For the rest of us who appreciate the game without nitpicking every little item that we, ourselves, would never have the education, talent or skill to create, we'll enjoy the new episode thoroughly and if there are problems, we will report the issues and thank Infinity Ward when they fix them.

Black Ops has more issues than any other Call of Duty episode, but I still enjoy it and I think that I've gotten my money's worth for it. Nothing is going to be perfect and there are going to be problems with everything. If all we do is sit with our faces in a frown and are hands folded looking for anything to be displeased about, then that's all we'll get...displeasure, while everyone else is enjoying their purchase.

Re: Troubling News Out of London

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:00:21 GMT

I, as an American, always viewed England as our more mature older brother. We have riots here, but I figured England had that sorted since they had been around longer than we have.

It's sad to see this happening in London. There are a lot of good people (my friends) who live there and I am very concerned about them. It seems that an element of stupidity and mayhem exists in all of our populations.

I hope for you all to be safe and that the riots are controlled soon. Sorry to hear about this and I hope that your beautiful architecture isn't destroyed because of it.

Does Anyone Else Buy Games for the Single Player Campaigns?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:55:20 GMT

I have loved the Call of Duty/Battlefield games since each respectively came out. Before that, it was Halo, but the reason that I love them is the single-player campaigns!

I have played online ever so often, but I'm not a big fan of that. It seems more like "Everyone run out there and shoot wildly" as opposed to that actual feeling of war and tactics in the campaigns.

I have nothing against people who play the online multiplayer. I enjoy watching their YouTube videos. I just wondered does anyone else value the campaigns more than the multiplayer like I do?

And for the record, my favorite CoD campaign was World at War.

Re: Call of Duty: Band of Brothers

I would love to see it. Could you imagine what Bastogne would be like? Or parachuting behind Nazi lines during D-Day? Just you and one other guy trying to link up with the rest of Easy? That would be one hell of a game.

Call of Duty: Band of Brothers

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 19:43:51 GMT

Wouldn't it be cool to have a CoD episode that followed the advance of Easy Company in WWII?

I think it would be really exciting and a good different spin on the WWII genre games. What do you think?

Local Splitscreen Game

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:08:10 GMT

My brother and I usually play combat training together in split screen mode and enjoy our time together.

Since our lovely outage of service, we've had to switch to the Local Area games where we include enemies in order to keep playing until (if) the PSN comes back.

The second player (since the crash) cannot use killstreaks and gets reset after each match. I didn't think the network was necessary for this function, since during the holidays all of my brothers got together and we played a four player splitscreen match in this very mode and we all were able to gain killstreaks and keep our customs until we quit the game.

Is there a function that I may have clicked on accident to forbid killstreaks to the second player?

Re: Call of duty=Noob game?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:59:38 GMT

If people spent as much time trying to just enjoy the game as they do trying to label all of the noob qualities, there may be far fewer people who dislike the game.

For all of it's flaws and weaknesses, this game is a pretty damn good fps. No, it isn't BF, probably because it's CoD and it's a different franchise. If you want to play Battlefield, then go play it. No one is stopping you, but I'm guessing that it wasn't as much fun as this game and that's why you're still here.

No, the game isn't very realistic. Who freaking cares? None of these games are realistic and until you're sitting in a VR simulator, wearing fatigues and holding a replica M16, you're not going to get perfect replications of reality.

I've gotten to the point that when I hear someone say "noob" I immediately associate that person with the kid who used to throw the screaming tantrum on the playground because someone caught him in tag. Just poor sports who want to blame anything and everything else besides themselves for their lack of ability in this game.

Re: what do you think is the most noob gun?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:53:36 GMT

The gun being fired by a new person, or someone lacking steady aim. ANY gun used by an experienced player can be quite lethal.

Re: NADE LAUNCHERS WAY TOO WEAK.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:47:11 GMT

I use the grenade launcher often and I enjoy pissing people off with it and being called a noob. It's simply funny to me. It's in the game, its a point getter and I'm going to use it regardless of what anyone thinks about it. Respect? Pfft! I'm sorry, I missed the part where I was supposed to give a damn.

To the OP, put it in their chest and equip the M16. Learn to switch quickly between the two weapons and if you don't kill them with the nade, put three in their chest. You've already weakened them with the launcher and they'll die quick.

Saw a Spetsnaz last night doing the jungle gym hang from the jeep door in Nuketown. He had apparently been taken out by a claymore at the front of the school bus and this is how he landed. Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

You hunker down in a position of cover and remain alert. When the enemy strolls by you, you wait for their backs to be turned and open fire.

People on fps' hate campers because they are the kryptonite to the runner gunners. Then again, everything else being thrown or shot is the kryptonite to the runner gunners also.

By popular opinion, unless you are running around in plain view like a chicken with your head cut off waiting to die from the other headless chicken dancing in this ballet of buffoonery, you're not playing correctly and you're camping.

You just camped your desk-chair to much to write this message. You need to learn how to Run and Type like a Pro. (Obvious fake troll is obvious. )

Man, I wish I could get out of this desk chair and run. I NEED AN EVAC!

Re: Who is giving up on COD when BF3 comes out?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:48:02 GMT

I made the mistake of boldly stating that when Homefront came out, that I would be switching to that game and bidding this one a fond farewell. Well, guess what, one craptastic campaign mode and completely stupid multi-player (in my opinion) and I'm right back here at the CoD.

I will wait until other people have played BF3 and if they give it good reviews, I'll give it a chance...as a rental. THEN, and only then, if I like it, will I purchase it.

Right now, I've been muddling in LB2 off and on and replaying some favorite levels of Rainbow Six.

Re: FRAG roll Vs SYNTEX stick

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 17:42:07 GMT

My brother swears by the frag. He doesn't use it for rolling, but cooks it when he's running into a large set of guys and thinks he might get owned. It works for him.

I prefer the semtex. Mostly because when I used to use the frag, it got me killed more times by throwbacks than it killed the enemy. It would be a good weapon, if they didn't get a warning message that they were on top of it. Usually by the time you get a semtex warning, it's already too late.

Re: How fast is your internet?

I get full bars nearly always. If it's raining I'll decrease by about three bars. At that point, I play combat training so I don't screw up anyone else' game.
