I saw that. Bet they loved that Never known anyone get so many kills in one go with a noob tube.

Can't wait til double XP next week either. Gonna try and get up to 9th prestige by then so I can hopefully speed my way through that.

I'm becoming rather fond of my silenced scorpion. Only been using it to get to 150 kills but in hardcore it kicks ass!

I enjoyed this weekend too. It feels good to be chasing after something.

For some odd reason though on all my guns I seem to get up to the point of being 5 kills away from Red Tiger and then deserting them moving swiftly on. I dunno why I do this. But on the upside, there's gonna be one weekend I get all my Red Tigers in one go

Congrats Monk on the Noob kills. Back to your old self

In years to come I too will be able to say "I was there, when Woodsmonk virtually wiped out a team with one noobtube". Congrats monk, it was damned impressive.

My own performance over the weekend seemed to swing between the below average 6/7 and the totally lethal 24/2. I just wish I could work out what it is I did right in the better rounds

It was great playing with everyone over the weekend - i might not say much but I do enjoy the banter.

Roll on this weekend and all that lovely double XP

I seem to be too late for you guys these nights. Whenever I come on there is only ever 1 person online.

But I am sure to catch you all soon hopefully

Found this interesting page which explains the stats the various weapons have and how the game mechanics work.

http://www.xanga.com/DenKirson/632800688/item.html

Now I get how the helicopters work (I think ). I actually got killed by the missiles it shoots the other day, I thought they were just for show until then.

Quote:
“Helicopters enter the map from one of several directions and travel between pre-determined points (with a bit of randomness) around the map until it loops back to the beginning.
The loop lasts at least one minute, give or take a while depending on the map.
The helicopter absorbs bullet damage, dropping all damage to 30%.
After losing 500 points of health, the helicopter is "weakened" and bullets deliver full damage against it.
At the same time, the helicopter will engage "evasive Maneuvers" - travel from point to point more quickly and spend less time hovering in place.
After letting loose a burst from its vulcan minigun, it has a two second reload time.

Helicopters assess threat through four factors:
Distance from Helicopter - Closest player gets most threat
Has attacked Helicopter - Anyone who has attacked the helicopter gets threat
Weapon Class - A player carrying an RPG-7, Assault Rifle or LMG will get threat.
Player Score - Highest scoring player in view gets most threat.
Whoever has the highest combined threat from these four factors will be the helicopter's Primary Target.
The helicopter will only target a player it can see more than 50% of his body.”

That's the biggest load of crap that someones just put together!

It more or less targets EVERYone by that reckoning!

I think I prefer the theory that it targets anyone that is near the person who called it in.

The frickin thing can shoot through windows and there is no WAY it's seeing 50% of the body there, especially on Vacant.

The rest of the page is quite nifty though

It does more or less target everyone.

What about that game on Wetwork yesterday where that 'snipergod' character got about 15 kills with his helicopter despite being right at the other end of the map? I think it has to be more complicated than that.

If you play on softcore & watch the killcam the heli can clearly see you through windows in the computer room on Vacant.

I'm not saying it's gospel but if you shoot at it it tends to shoot you back & it does tend to move around a lot more once the smoke starts coming out.

If he has made all that up then he has to be the saddest guy on the planet. A lot of the other stuff on there makes sense, to me anyway But then I like stats & always thought that the accuracy, damage etc bars in the game were wrong.

OK I phrased that badly.

What I meant was. Of COURSE it targets everybody! What's the point in doing a whole section on it. Then I went to the link and saw that he was sad enough to do a whole COD for dummies page so I understand the reckoning now. That's all

Looks like one of our PC modders from Japan, by the name of Qrysalis on our forums, has found and re-constructed the files from our original training mission for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Ah, brings back memories. As you can tell, we decided to make it short and sweet for the final version of the game, but I do miss some of that choice VO (voice over). Nice work Qrysalis, as long as you don’t find our Brokeback Snipers / Hot Coffee moment with Price and MacMillian … then we’re all good.

It looked good in parts but I think because I've played the shorter one, this one looks OVERLY long than it might've done had I not seen the shorter version.

Good find though!

Anybody know what games make up "Hardcore Ricochet"?

I'm hoping it will flick between HQ, S&D, Team Deathmatch and Domination - but have a feeling Domination won't make it.

They haven't said they're releasing a HC Dom Dragon? Unless they have and I've missed it. But all I've seen so far is complaints that it ISN'T included in the HC releases...

Cheers guys - I thought Hardcore Domination was off the playlists, but I couldn't remember for definite.

Taking everything to do with the new playlists with a pinch of salt. I doubt they'll be released this week, as there isn't really enough time for a build up / promotion of them being released this weekend.

I could be wrong and I hope I am because I would love to see them this weekend. It will make it a whole new game to play.

i doubt there will be much of a fanfare TBH - its only a fancy software update after all.

Unlike the DLC which we were buying and therefore had an advertising budget attached to it.

(Congrats on your 3000 post Minni)

Minni and Dragon, sorry about last night, my connection went, and initially I couldn't get back on, so gave it up as a bad job.

Still don't understand why the kills were not being displayed, but I guess these things happen.

Am I weird that that didn't bother me? That the kills weren't showing up...I could see all of yours. Just not my own. All I would get was a little X. I think I emptied a whole sniper clip into someone who had died with my first bullet but I thought I had just put him to last stand

I really didn't mind!!

Heads up that this weekend from Friday the 12th - Sunday the 14th on Xbox Live (PS3 event will be later, closer to the 18th), we’ll be having Double XP all weekend long on every playlist. In addition, we’ll be doing some DLC promotion on the Xbox Live Marketplace that will allow you to download the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack for 50% off, which means you’ll be able to snag all four maps for just 400 MS points.

That’s not all though, thanks to so many of you who have written in and requested; we’ve been able to work it out to get the Prestige Gamer pic pack back on the marketplace for download for all those who missed out on it’s limited offering during our last LIVE fire weekend.


No new play-lists , At least I'll be able to download those prestige gamerpics

I've ordered MS points and just got told I won't have them until next Friday

And I'm glad the map pack has came down. Means more people will get it. I've come to love two of the maps on it. One I never play and the other....best left unsaid

That'll be cool

I'm gonna get a live cam anyway and put up a picture of Pepper (my dog for those that don't know! Not the stuff you pour on food... although that WOULD be quite a random picture )

I think of the oddest things I know
