i searched and couldnt find an answer......so i was wondering if vehicles were confirmed? I know the chopper gunner has been and I understand that there can be more than one chopper up at a time for mid-air battles, but any word on tanks or jeeps?......i hope they leave em out..

Afaik, no talks or reveals of drivable tanks (W@W) or jeeps. The only 'vehicles' are the RCXD and Chopper Gunner; the player controlled killstreaks.

Re: Should I get WaW or CoD4 again? Wich?

You can get COD4 at like Â£8 pre-owned. You could actually get both for what you're paying for.

edit, idk, someone said it's fake, though it looks pretty legit to me.

idk if this was posted already, but I saw this at another forum <a class="postlink" href="http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz80/TTG_WAffLEz/Untitled-12.png">http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz80 ... led-12.png</a>

Seems like you'll get a new camo at Prestige 14.

That's very interesting. Looks legit - people have always asked for 10+ Prestige.

The thing which catches my eye is that camo is now buyable - not unlockable. I'm wondering what headshots get you - because I liked the aspect of headshots = camo.

Re: Question for you PS3 gamers

1. Do games on the PS3 lag more than they do on the 360? Not just MW2(although I will probably be playing it and Black Ops the most). But any game. When I first got my 360 thats all I heard. I never bothered to find out if it was true or not though. And this question is probably best for gamers who have played online for both consoles.

I have both PS3 and 360 and there's never really an issue on either side. Lag issues really depend on your connection, but the PS3 has wireless built-in and is normally pretty solid .. online games are pretty much the same on both. Online aspect: XBL is superior (features and chat functions); but the PSN is free and if you can live with basic chat/PM functions, then you're fine.

Jassie wrote:

2. How many PSN accounts can you make on one console?

Unlimited I'm sure. One PS3 can hold like a family of PSN users (which you can then create an account); the PS3 can hold a European account, a Japanese account, USA account, and etc.

Jassie wrote:

3. Does it cost anything to change your gamertag on PSN?

I'm pretty sure you cannot change your PSN name, not on the American/European PSN anyway. You can just make another PSN account, but since it's a completely different account - you get new trophies and stats.

Jassie wrote:

4. What first game would be a good one to get(if I cant get MW2).

Uncharted series is just brilliant. Killzone 2 is a great buy as well. LittleBigPlanet is very fun as well. You can see the rhythm: all PS3 exclusives.

Also, remember it's a home entertainment system. You've got Blu-Ray, music, pictures and also Internet Browser.

Modern Warfare 3 (or sequel to Modern Warfare 2 or whatever) will be made. Whoever is making it is a different question.

hey guys what exactly does the blackbird do?

Advanced UAV basically. It can't be shot down, but you can counter it by using the 'Ghost' Perk - it shows everyone on the mini-map and the direction they are looking at/running to.

Did you seriously just say that? 8% of males are colourblind and World at War had an option for this exact issue, changing team colours to Cyan and Orange and removing the problem.

The fix is obvious and would take no effort. Think before you type.

I did think. Last i checked colorblind meant you cant see color. AT ALL. What your talking about is...hmm how to put it so a dumbass like you can understand it...a case of colorblindness where only certain colors are unseeable

Colour blindess is never referred as being unable to see any colour whatsoever. It refers to, what you said: "where only certain colors are unseeable". In this case, the OP cannot 'see' (being able to distinguish and make out) red/green - which is actually not uncommon today. Colour blindness is a very inaccurate term because it isn't about being blind, it's the inability to perceive and distinguish certain colours.

Re: half games....

Although I'd agree with you about joining games that are about to end, I'm a little bit indifferent about joining literally mid-way through a game.

Joining at the end (a minute or less before it ends; the final round of S&D; Tie-breaker CTF/Sabotage situation) is annoying, and my only solution is that the game 'locks' up for the final few seconds/last round until it is completely over and back in the lobby screen. That, I'd love to see.

But it's different when mid-way through a game. On the side of fairness, teams need to be filled and evened-out. And also the point that games, on average, could go either way - so saying that "it's unfair because we're already losing a bit" isn't a legitimate reason to quit again (of course, if you're losing badly, then you could just leave and join a different playlist game).

I'd prefer to be 6v6 and stand to have a chance of crawling back than to be 6v3 and be marked 2-to-1 and losing badly. The matchmaking system that puts you into games isn't broken - it's merely trying to do what it has been programmed to do.

The easy way to stop joining games at any point is to be in large parties (4+) of friends.

It does look like a copy - but an awesome one at that.

RC Car looks cool, and so does the camera spike. Also Replay Saves.

0:37 .. the guy on the right dives out of the way.

It only does 25 damage? What? I always get OHKs with it in Core, though, and occasionally, two shot kills.

Sorry - didn't take in the account of the buckshot. Edited original post.

Thanks, but how does the MasterKey have low damage. I honestly feel the MasterKey is better than all standalone shotguns TOGETHER. It sounds better. It looks better, and over all other factors, it performs better.

Masterkey only performs 25 damage (35 w/ SP; also x6 Buckshot = 150 damage / 210 damage), but because of its extreme range, it maintains that and damage drops gradually at long range (at maximum range, which is about 37 metres, the damage is 1).

You won't find a lot of Masterkeys in Core, because everyone has a health of 100 - you'll need to lay in all of the buckshots to make it a one-shot kill. Otherwise, most of the time, it's going to be a 2 or 3 shot in close/mid range.

It's extremely deadly in Hardcore (because of its range) but it's barely used in Core. I do like it in Core - plus it has it uses - but you'll probably get killed first with a standalone before you kill them.

Re: Does FMJ increase range for undermounted shotgun?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:59:13 GMT

The Masterkey has pretty much unlimited, but still low damage, range. FMJ doesn't increase it - just as the holographic sight doesn't increase some shotgun range (which it doesn't).

Re: Whats with the favouritism?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 23:15:14 GMT

I find the exclusive rights delay quite beneficial. I can make judgement whether or not I should buy it by listening to the XBL guys.

Plus, XBL folk pay for their online and Microsoft treat them for exclusive rights. Sony are perfectly capable of doing that (now that they're making a profit) but obviously chose not too.

Re: How was the MP5 "Unbalanced"?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 09:28:37 GMT

The MP5 wasn't overpowered/unbalanced. It was overused.

P90, COD4 + MW2, still remains the best though.

Re: OMA may be getting patched but....

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:17:21 GMT

My impression is that OMA will not fill up grenade launchers (or explosives), even if you have two dedicated class spots. Ammo can still be refilled (to an extent), but OMA will not refill explosive devices.

OMA can be a useful perk - its purpose is so you can change classes mid-game (without respawning), e.g.: an SMG class and a Sniper class could work in tandem - however, people have exploited its purpose to gain unlimited explosives. Scavenger is used to refill; One Man Army is meant to be used to support with a variety of classes.

Scavenger is a balanced perk. You are required to find the small blue bags to refill and then you need to reload. I find no issue with Scavenger because there isn't one - OMA has been exploited, Scavenger is being used how it's meant to be used.

The problem isn't necessarily OMA/Scavenger.. it's Danger Close. Where the idea of a major buff in the Blast Shield would come in.

CTF doesn't really mean much, but I'm sure some folk will be ecstatic that it's back.
