Awesome, i'm a great fan of nazi zombies. Are you still allowed xmas lists at 26?

As a gamer and a man, lists are a must. Anyone who says otherwise is a girl shaped person.

Yeah just came out. Also PC version is much more fun and you are able to play with an xbox controller. So, plusses all around.

I assumed using those rechargable usb cable for the wireless xbox should do the trick?

Sorry but no, those cables only transfer power to the controllers.
You need a wired controller or a wireless controller dongle USB thing.

Microsofts' sneaky way of raking in a bit more cash i believe.

Anyone on Steam want a guest pass for Shattered Horizon?

It needs directX10, so Vista or 7, NOT XP. I have two guest passes that last until the 16th of next month. PM me your email address if you want one. First come first serve.

(It's spaceman deathmatch in full 3d zero gravity. Surprisingly easy to control and very cool. Only 4 maps so far, but more promised.)

Edit: Sorry - all gone now.

COD:MW2 just bought. (I was out of the country.)

Oh good LORD this is fun. Work is distracting me from teh serious business of killing people. Annoying.

Finished the single player on Saturday. Great fun, strays dangerously close to 'bit far-fetched' though.

Spec-Ops are FCUKING ROCK HARD.

Leveled up to 35 in multiplayer, which is so much more expansive than COD4. Yet to see anyone unleash a Tactical Nuke though.

In that rather lame way people on Mac forums list their set-ups, me: SCAR-H with Silencer and Red-Dot Sight, UAV Jammer and Ninja Pro.

I've set off a couple of nukes, but they seem pretty pointless.
Automatic endgame is kind of annoying but useful if your losing.

Nice choice in weaponry, goin for the ninja class, very much like myself.

Looks like a camper set up to me :p

Only on level 30 though, need to spend more time on the team games, you get so many more points then on FFA - I'm already in trouble with the missus !

Vector with red dot or fal with ACOG / Shotty, Red dot, Marathon Pro, hardline Pro, Ninja pro

CAMPER?!
Called ninja brah, get with it.
Not camping if your running around

It's clearly a hunter set-up. I leg it around in circuits, nipping into sniper/camper hotspots to knife them.

I also carry a Stinger for taking down Harriers/Copters before they can do any damage, but I'm considering swapping this for a pistol, as I frequently run out of ammo (used the Bandolier perk in the previous game to compensate)

I'd say leave the stinger, get a silenced M9, or auto-handguns.

Fair nuff, although, if your sitting in a corner, ninja (invis to HB) and a nti-UAV could be useful.

Best new weapons are the throwing knife and semtex, nothing better then semtexing someone in the face

It would be better for my own survival chances, but blowing a Harrier out the sky is strangely satisfying and gives me the feeling that I'm playing as part of a team, and not just the mercenary that I am.

I'm thinking a team HTFU death match could be the way forward

I'm all ofr the team thing, but its hard to play as a team when no one else is playing as a team.
Like sniping from a crucial doorway. Or letting you get killed so that they can kill the killer on the reload.
Both regular occurences.

Just got the Steyr AUG HBAR. Not sure if I will start using it, as I find the RPD so good. Still, most of the time, I do use the FAMAS.

Sleight of Hand Pro with Stopping Power, Steady Aim and either Holographic or ACOG has got to be the cheesiest combo there is, but I don't care -- it works a treat and I need all the help I can get.

And one can build a right fucking ghost with a suppressor equipped weapon, Marathon, Coldblooded and Ninja. FN FAL seems like the right choice as the damage of 50-35 (not verified, but most likely valid) does not warrant the use of Stopping Power.

Snipers I have not used. Waiting to unlock the M21 EBR. In the last game I used to do quite well with the M21 and ACOG.

I usually play Ground War and hate Estate. That map is just not fun.

I play as a team when pals are on who I can communicate with over the headsets, although it's mostly banter.

Is Estate the one with the big house? It's great! Get up close and keep low, flashbang though the windows and storm it like it was the Iranian Embassy!

You lot are all losers*, i bought assassin's creed II on Friday and have been happily murdering people in the face with cold hard steel** all weekend. Stabbing is much more fun than shooting***

*may not be true
** may not be actual steel
*** in video games. Everyone know shooting is better in real life.

Yes, that's the one. I don't know, I just dislike it.

And I suck when I have to play the snowy maps. Seems like my old eyes can't see the soldiers clad in white.

When you get so many head shots - you unlock a challange thing called 'something' in the mist. Which gives you better camoflage when sniping. I unlocked it the other day.

Best level is by far the airport, was playing last night 4 of us all with sheilds battering the shit out of anyone in the plane was laughing my head off!

I think it's called "Ghillie (or Ghillies) in the mist". But I believe that requires you to get one shot kills with a sniper rifle...?

Airport is cool! I like that map.

Yeah thats the one, thing is though most snipers do give you a one shot kill. Theres also that perk which gives more bullet damage I think, works really well with snipers, I ran round with the acog scope on a sniper using it as a close quaters gun and wasn't really that bad. God bless the xbox for when the weathers crap and I can't go out cycling.

Yeah, snipers do 70 points of damage. The damage multiplier for head and chest shots is usually 1.5, which means you get over the magic 100 = one shot kill. With Stopping Power that total is multiplied by a further 1.4.

In the first Modern Warfare the M40 was glitched (intentionally or unintentionally) so that when you had it equipped with ACOG the raw damage was 75. With Stopping Power it was OHK no matter where the round struck the target.

If anyone is playing Avatar, here is the bonus code for XBL for Tsteu armor.
