Is it me or does it seem like you die from falling from some pretty low heights? I started to put commando pro ( no falling damage ) on a couple of my classes now because of this. Im not saying that you should be 100 feet in the air fall and live, but some of the heights Ive died from have been on some bull shit.
Also put tactical insertion on my stealth class as I figured the hardest part sometimes is getting to the enemies side, now I can keep spawning closer or in there spawn and start recking shit, its been working out great so far ( have been killed upon respawning a couple times, part of the chance you take ). Also works great on domination if you want to defend just one of the letters. I also use this class less and less.
I took a couple days off this game, and I found now I dont run around all crazy like before, I stick to certain parts of the map and just sweep smaller parts looking for people, still alot of camping ( to me all due to map design ) and im sick of getting killed by people just sitting in a corner waiting for me to run by.

In all honesty the more I play this game the less I want to play this game. I have over 3 days of playing time in, my K/D is 1.75 ( over 8000 kills ) and my accuracy is 20.96, so I am decent at this game.
This game has just turned into such a novelty act that its taken the true challenge of having to actually be good at this game to excel at it. Gone are the days of actually having to have skills actually rack up alot of kills, now its just camp in a corner with a heart beat sensor, run around with akimbo 1887, or get killed due to very very very poor map design that allows to many corners, doors, and vertical buildings. Every other match suffers from lag at some point, the spawn points are just horrible I cant count how many times I have been spawn killed, maps are full of glitches and spots were you just get stuck and cant move, the AR's just dominate every other type of gun in the game, anybody can get a CG or AC130 due to a care package etc etc etc...
I really looked forward to this game, and while I do think its a good game, its already wore out its welcome. With MW I hated the nade fest, martydrom, choppers that took a million bullets to shot down, but I always wanted to play it no matter how much it pissed me off. Now with MW2 I dont have the same feelings, IW just flat out made the multi player appeal to the masses and took out the skill level involved to excel in this game.
IW is going to patch some things soon ( they have not stated what they are ) and maybe that will help but I doubt it. Will I still play this game?? The answer is yes, but only in small doses.
Side note: I was sniping on rundown today ( finally got the fall camo for the WA2000 ) and I got killed 3 times in a row by a guy using akimbo rangers, with marathon, lightweight, commando combo ( two of the kills were spawn kills as the fantastic spawn system kept putting me right in front of him ) on the 4th spawn I switched to my striker and killed him, I took his ranger and he kept coming after me, long story short I killed the guy 4 times in a row with his own guns ( got the mmmm brains title for killing him with both barrels of the ranger ) and as much as this game pissed me off today, that made my day and has to be one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had in a MW game.
I know use this icon as a trophy...

I hate the camping too but wherever there are corners there will be camping... Yes there are some spots that seem ideal for camping but you gotta admit in this game that they at least TRIED to make it pretty open.. Not like out in the open, but in the sense that there is usually always 2 or more ways to either enter or see into a room. Except for the map with the bridges, you can come from anywhere you want and have the same chance of running into people. I felt like the map construction was better in that way.
is Rust in Headquarters Pro now??
imma start playin that shit
OH n if IW truely cares about PS3, then they'll fix the leaderboards... not even a month in and ppl gotta be supergeeks
its gettin so outta hand i got top ppl from Waw on friends list who are top 100 in mw2 but its shows them at like #1500 kill cuz of all the hackerfags

I like rust when playing an objective rather than team deathmatch or free for all, makes it way more interesting......I'm starting to like the objective games now more than the others running around and just killing people is getting a little boring, but still when I'm not doing so well it becomes a challenge no matter what I'm playing. Is it just me or when I run across somebody and seem to get the better of them I end up being the one to die sometimes, and when I watch the killcam it either shows me getting off the shots later than I really did or no shots. WTF?!?!
The spawn system is MW2 is hot garbage. Rarely do I actually spawn near a team mate, its so random and all over the map, I have spawned countless times across the map near the guy that just killed me. I have been spawn killed shit I cant even count that high how many times I have been spawn killed. Been spawned into every kind of air support you can imagine, been spawned right in front of a chopper gunner 4 times in a row ( same spot and dude kept killing me ) etc etc etc.....
Im starting to thing that the group spawn system in MW was not that bad at all, at least your team stuck together for the most part and the action flowed around the map. Now with this spawn system it almost turns TDM into a free for all match, as everyone is just split up, there are so many ways to go that the team effort is practically thrown out the window, and again this goes back to map design.
And I agree the tactical insertion works very well on some maps, but this has nothing to do with the basic spawn system of MW2. And as far as tactical insertion too I caught people using it to boost in 3 games yesterday, IW never saw that shit coming.
