Yeah, I'll be on. I may, or may not my GTA copy (see He4t's multiplayer thread - post 40 )

The only thing I have planned, during the day at the weekend is to watch my team get relegated (or stay up) on Sunday.

Wouldn't want to miss the shrieks of joy you'll make when you prestige.
Yeah I'm actually getting quite excited about it now I worked bloody hard to get there!!!

I'm thinking it will be tomorrow night. Even if I get close tonight, I will save it until tomorrow

Nope you said tomorrow evening which was last night which would make it today ! You've got your days mixed up!!

Had my best ever game on Domination last night ( in Ground Wars).

Usually I would go to the house and watch over B while the other team went for A and C. Well, not last night! This team was absolutely determined to get B. And it wasn't just 1 or 2 but nearly the whole bleedin' team!

So in I run, chuck a grenade, kill 3, duck down beside the wall, throw some C4 over and take out two more, got an airstrike, called the airstrike in, killed 1 more and myself, then killed 2 more after I was dead!! Got UAV, then Airstrike, called it in, killed myself with airstrike again, so no helicopter.

Rinsed and repeated until there were too many of them at B for me to attack and all of my team were else where capturing.

Within the first minute of the game, I think I had 20 kills. and by the end I had 30!!!!

Well I had my worst games for ages! But well done.
In my defense I'd just gotten my guitar amp fixed and was playing it for about 2 hours before I went on COD4 & couldn't adjust my hands to the intricacies of Team Deathmatch.

I did manage to nail Stricken by Disturbed so i was still very happy with last night.

Who needs to pay silly money for Rock Band when you can just play along to a CD?

^ Thats an excuse I haven't heard before ,

I'm not going to say Congrats Mini as I will have to say that to you twice today (when you get to the gold cross) and that would boost your ego even more

She's going to be unbearable, until she gets it (in the nicest possible way ). Nobody else will be allowed to plant or defuse the bomb on S&D.

You're more optimistic about it than me! I still have the two highest ranks to go yet before I get to the golden cross....and as I'm typing this I've just realised IT'S FRIDAY!! HELL YEAH I'M GETTING THE GOLDEN CROSS TONIGHT WOOHOO!!

Try not to alter your style of play to attempt to rank up quicker - as this usually has the opposite effect.

Remember- the person who picks up the bomb at the start is rarely the one who gets to plant it.

Will we see a change in mini once she goes Gold?

The vast majority of gold cross people that I have played against, are real obnoxious idiots.

Maybe it will be beneath you now to play with us lowley 2 times prestiged players.

Yeah I know, but what a nice motto/quote....

I can just picture you being grandfatherly with kids and saying to the children....

"Remember kids....the person that picks UP the bomb....doesn't necessarily be the one to plant it....."

We should get that on a FRIDGE MAGNET!!

Hell no. How else will I be matched with others of that rank!!

I'm still a crap player, regardless of what rank I am.

As I've said to others, everyone will get the Gold Cross regardless of skill.....just a matter of time....

Bite me Monk, if it came down to it you know I'd have you dead in 3 seconds flat before you blinked.

Plus you'll be on GTA that you went looking for earlier!

Was on GTA last night so only managed to squeeze in two games on Domination this morning before heading to work.

Bog, 44-7. Get in! Started at the top of the map, claymored the doors through the first building and then jumped over the fence and went into prone next to the digger. Airstrikes are ace on Bog, just put them the other side of the bus and you can't NOT pick up at least two more kills for the chopper.

A nice way to sign off and go prestige again.

Back to the bog-standard weapons and started on Backlot. Still managed to finish as topscorer, with 23-5. The noobtube rules when you're pre-claymore! Managed to pick up more bad rep from somewhere over one of those two games though. 'Unsporting' apparently. Obviously rinsed someone one too many times! It's a shit system where someone can give you negative feedback just because you've got the better of them. Worse still that there's nothing you can do about it afterwards.

Bester you seem to really enjoy Domination. I think it is a fun game to play in small doses. But you seem really good at it!

I agree with you about the feedback system. I use it whenever I don't want to play against someone again, if they're team killing (so i don't want to end up on their team in the future) or they "quit early" and ended the game. Too many people abuse it though which is a shame. I don't know why MS have it except to be able to say they have *some* sort of process in place to help children stay safe.

Congrats on your scores though!!

The key to domination on most maps is just get to B first. Once you've got it, on most maps, it's very difficult for the other side to 'turn it over'. At that point they then have to try and get both A and C, which again, on most maps isn't feasible as they're too far apart to hold both for long. As soon as you have the two flags you can just go into defensive mode and hit any one of a number of sweet spots around the flags that you hold.

The worst team I ever played on was on Crossfire. We'd just taken A and then all headed up to the end of the street. Suddnely I turned to head down the map and the rest of them turned and took up residence in the sniper building. I carried on playing, but just slipped into 'cynical' mode. I hate doing it as if you're not holding two flags then really to me, you should be trying to get at least one of the other two. In this instance though, I didn't see any point, it was only ever going to end in me getting an ass-kicking. Needless to say, all of those players are now 'avoided'!

I enjoy domination, and headquarters for that matter. I don't mind TDM either, and Groundwar is usually absolute carnage. The only thing I don't like about Groundwar is that it's usually a case of you shoot someone, and then someone shoots you because there are so many people running around the maps. The best tactic that I've found for Groundwar is to just use a 'stealth' configuration.
