I didn't put the RPG up there because it's a perk, not a weapon. Also, it's pretty bad. If you want to blow up people, use a grenade launcher, if you want to take down choppers, use the M60, preferable with the Doubleshot-perk. Takes half a mag but atleast you can HIT the bloody thing properly unlike those RPGs which are a bitch to aim with in hardcore-mode where you have no crosshairs.

I do agree with Rayburn on this.

The only Reason I used the RPG some time was because of the Challenge.
You get Experience Points when you are able to kill 2 People with one Single RPG. That may sound a bit complicated but ... there exists a identic Challenge, just with Claymores. And thats something I don't know how to realize.
Has anyone ever killed 2 Peoples with one Claymore? If yes, could you please tell me the best way to do it?

Im quite frustrated about it, because all other Challenges I did with nearly no sweat.

[Rayburn]

Well, I beat challenges by not TRYING to beat them. Hard to explain but if you join a game and constantly tell yourself "I'm now going to do challenge XY" you'll get killed a lot and fail to win the challenge. Instead, just play the game. Don't pay too much attention to some numbers. You will automatically win some things if you don't concentrate on one. Take the sniper-challenges. Either you join a game and use the sniper rilfe all the time, ending up with a kill:death-ratio of 5:20 or you just play it the way you like. Snipe when there's a lot of enemies in cover, grab an assault rifle and shoot the lot if everyone is running around, you name it. That way, you can adapt to the situation and at the same time "work" on many different challenges at once without really intending to do so. It's also more fun.

Regarding the specific example of the Claymore-challenge, just use them to cover certain places like you always do.
Sooner or later, it will be TWO people who run into it. It's all about chance here.

I am Colonel 2 now, only a few Points away from Brigadier General ... and then it's on to my 50. Cal. ...


Do you already have the Overkill Perk, Rayburn?
If yes, what is you're Favourite Mix of Weapons? I use the G36 and the Auto Shot Gun, it's ownage and a good Combination.

Does anyone else have interessting Overkill Combos?

- E.V.E.

[Rayburn]

When I unlocked Overkill yesterday, I turned ALL custom kits into multi-weapon-killingmachines
1. G36C+Grenadelauncher / W1200+Handle
2. M16+Silencer / M21+ACOG
3. M60+Handle / Uzi
4. MP5+Silencer / G3+Red-Dot-Sights
5. R700+AK74U

#1 is pretty cool so far. It's awesome for close-/mid-range and very flexible
#2 kicked arse without the M21 and now it's even deadlier
#3 The Uzi on this one is more of a gimmick as I usually don't last long enough to run out of mg-ammo but if I unlock the silencer, it might be of use too
#4 Originally, it was only the G3 but I added the MP5 for stealth and the ability to react on ambushes since the G3 is only semi-auto
#5 I can't say that I like the R700 with it's enormous recoil, bad ammo-supply and apparent inaccuracy but I'll stick to it till I get the 50. If that one is even worse for some incomprehensible reason, I'll get right back to my beloved M40. It's bland but I can bloody well rely on it unlike the R700

[Warbz]

on the claymore thing, i think you just have to hope that 2 unsuspecting enemies walk really close to each other and onto the claymore

Edited by Warbz, 02 December 2007 - 12:08.

[Rayburn]

Exactly. See, you can't "make" two people run into the mine, so if you just run around like a sniper in BF2, throwing mines into the enemies' face, you'll get ripped apart and laughed at. Instead, do it the way I said: Just play the game. Use Claymores the way their are intended to be used and then, do what TPAM said: Hope for two fools to be too close to eachother.

[T-34]

I find that the R700 sucks. The Berret owns and the P90 is bad ass,

The m14 is also very good as a medium range weapon. It almosts beats the M16 sniping wise, although i like the 3 round bursts with double tap.

I'm starting to agree with that. The recoil is way too heavy and totally unjustified since the gun is minimally stronger than the M40 but also less accurate. Too many drawbacks for too little gain, especially since most sniper-rifles are 1-hit-kills anyway if you play hardcore mode like me. Even the M21 slaughters most people in one shot.
Speaking of which, I'm using it with an ACOG scope and wonder: does it really lose THAT much range because of the scope? Yesterday, I zeroed in on two targets in an alleyway. The first guy dropped dead after one shot but the other bloke just stood there firing at my whilst I fired my entire mag with zero effect. He was like one metre behind the guy I did shoot, so I wonder if it's really the scope that cuts my range that drastically. I SHOULD have hit him easily.

i rented the game and havent played too much MP (i think im lvl 8 or so, and have only gotten the attatchment for the skorpion(i love that gun, with stopping power perk it is actually really good))

but the single player is intense! the gameplay is great (throw a flashbang, run into the room, shotgun someone, knife the next guy, then pull out your m16 and mow down the guys who are retreating)

the story is great, although its kinda wierd that there has already been two levels where you dont do anything but die in the end. (the president level and the one after the nuke... the one after the nuke was really freaking creepy). Right now i am on the second Chernobyl level... the part where you take the shot was really fun.


what do you guys think of the SP

[Rayburn]

SP is pretty well done. Very cinematic and full of action and tension. Rather short, but the ending totally makes up for it.
The story doesn't have any twists but I didn't expect it to be a Tom Clancy novel anyway. Zakhaev could have been designed differently though. He is very easy to hate - especially at the end - which is good for a villain but he isn't the scary kind antagonist since he looks more like a hobo from under a bridge than the malevolent Russian nationalist that he is supposed to be. His son also looks like the sniper-guy from the film Behind Enemy Lines.

Well, I just finished it, and it's quite brain-bashingly good as a matter of fact, even better than I'd have thought it to be. This game is good in so many areas it's almost scary. The SP campaign is very varied and extremely enjoyable, there's lots of weapons, all cool, and a big dose of Heckler & Koch favourites like the MP5, G3, G36C, all of which are a blast to use. But the big red cherry on top of the cake was the black and white mission (

Spoiler

where you get to use the Spectre gunship

).

For anyone reading this who doesn't have it yet ; highly recommended!

[amazin]

lol

everyone knows about that level, its near the beginning of the game, and has little relevence to the story, you dont really nned to censor it

Edited by Dachamp, 08 December 2007 - 04:22.

[Whitey]

Especially since there was a video released of it pre-release, IIRC.

[Rayburn]

The Spectre-mission was hardcore...Shame that there weren't more vehicle missions though. I kind of missed driving around in a tank like in all the other CoDs. The one mission where you escort Warpig out of the swamp starts with the stats of the M1. When I saw that, I really hoped to drive the damn thing but then it was just another infantry mission.

[amazin]

but it was a pretty sweet infantry mission, although pretty hard

[E.V.E.]

Have some of you managed to complete the last Mission on Veteran Difficulty?

It's realy hard, but it's entertaining as hell, I promise.



- E.V.E.

[Rayburn]

I have an interesting question too:
Did anyone manage to hit the Hind with an RPG in the truck pursuit mission?
It's so bloody hard to hit the damn thing, perhaps there is a different ending to the game if one really does it? Who knows...?

[Heisenberg]

Any one taken up prestige mode yet?

[Rayburn]

I heard that the PC version doesn't have it for some reason. Is that true?

[amazin]

im pretty sure it does, the only difference between PC and 360 should be achievements

Well I haven't seen it yet, is it a multiplayer mode? If not, it doesn't exist for the PC.

[amazin]

it is when you get to lvl 55 in multiplayer you can set your level back to one to try and get 55 again

[T-34]

ya im in prestige mode at. lvl 32.
