Yeah it was good fun

The irritating kids made me despair for modern youth more than usual but once I muted, it was great

Bad luck that prestige is crap

I apologise for encouraging

hahaha it's fine but my game certainly took a dive last night. I got killed far too often though perhaps that is more down to me rushing in than taking my time. I really like that mode though was a bit cheesed off when I died, waited for the re-spawn then got killed by the chopper almost instantly

That one fella was on mute from the start after I said did anyone mute him

it was great

Personally if you've become attached to your weapons don't do prestiege mode.

Agreed. Thank god for mute. Was gg there, besides that boat one. Can't see anyone on it.

Well I was doing very well, my kill/death ratio was good, I had more kills than deaths. My kill streak has gone up to 17, and I'm nearly on 1k headshots. However the past few times I've played I've REALLY struggled - I'm just not "seeing" people, and if you don't see you die. I know the maps pretty well now, but I get tired and frustrated and my concentration fails.

I'm not convinced by the ACOG sight for sniper rifles or some of the assault rifles - the recoil just makes it too much of a hassle to use. Certainly on sniper rifles it's much easier holding your breath. The LMGs are more effective with the grip and just standard iron sights. I do like the overkill perk and being able to carry 2 primary weapons - LMG & shotgun a good combo, one for long range and covering fire, the other for clearing rooms, combined with the desert eagle it makes for some decent firepower. The other combo I like is sniper rifle with silenced sub machine gun, claymores and iron lungs.

I'm setup different perks with different classes, I have a stealth class, a long range class, a sniper, an assault and a "ranks & challenges" class that I use if I'm trying to complete a specific challenge or rank.

What are some of your setups? What combinations of equipment and perks do you use? I've unlocked all the weapons and perks so feel free to offer your suggestions!

I maybe need to change tactics a little - maybe change the sensitivity of the mouse a bit or re-do my controls as I'm just not "on target" - and I don't know why

leowyatt · 18-01-2008, 10:45

Well my classes before I re-started were

Stealth:
Silenced MP5,
Silenced Pistol (not sure which)
3xspecial grenades
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

Long Range:
M164A/G3 - red dot sight
Desert Eagle
Claymore
Stopping Power
Deep Impact

Close Quarters:
P90
Desert Eagle
3x Special Grenades
Juggernaut
Martrydom

LMG:
M60 - RDS
Desert Eagle
C4
Juggernaut
Extreme Conditioning

You might want to check out these 2 docs I've done. They are the suggested classes for various styles and the maps too. The maps are in alphabetical order in case you wondered why there were no names.

Will · 18-01-2008, 11:01

Oooh cool - thanks mate, I'll have a read

Desmo · 18-01-2008, 11:02

Well my tactics were a load of **** for last night

Sabotage is such a fast changing you really need to think on your feet. I'm not sure set tactics work that well on it. Had some good games last night and they were pretty close overall so we more than held our own

Will, can't really help with any setup stuff as obviously I'm on the 360, but as for weapons, I tend to use the M16 most with Red Dot sight. Then I take the USP, Claymores, Deep Impact and Stopping Power. Usually puts people down if I'm on target. Claymores are good for covering your back if you're in a room or covering any targets or bases you need to protect. I also like the AK74 as well so sometimes take that out for a spin.

leowyatt · 18-01-2008, 11:05

I think the main tactic for sabotage is to stick together and move as a group. Not close enough for us to be taken out with 1 grenade but close enough so we can cover each other.

Last night also re-affirmed my hatred for Wet Work.

Desmo · 18-01-2008, 11:13

I used to like Wet Work but it is starting to grate a little now. I think it's just the size of the map and the fact it's all very dark. It's too small and the choke points are very obvious. You can hardly make it from one end of the ship to the other.

Will · 18-01-2008, 11:15

Wet work sucks but can be good with a silenced weapon or a bit of snipering from a gantry.

I like the least Freeforall, and I love the hardcore servers, makes it much more realistic.

I think the reason why I'm struggling is because I'm using "overkill" and have 2 weapons and am missing out on the bullet damage perk, and deep impact is replaced with something else - maybe I should reconsider carrying 2 weapons.

Crossfire I constantly get over 10 kill streaks it's by far my favourite level.
