Stealth classes don't work. Period. If you insist on using it though, a must is cold-blooded. Silencers screw up range on all guns, so don't use an already low range gun, meaning every SMG, unless you plan on playing highly aggressive. And C4 and Claymores just give away your position, so I don't advice using them. Bomb squad or bandolier would work better, depending on your preference. Steady aim or dead silence is what you should use, depending on the weapon choice, steady for SMG, dead for Assault.

There's only so far I can get away from the monitor before reaching the keyboard becomes an issue. Currently my monitor is as far away as it can be from me on the table, and I sit as far back as I can. 65 FOV still gives me a headache when I do that, albeit much slower. 80 - 90 is decent enough for me, then I'll get a headache only if I lean in for too long. If I were to purchase it, at the very least I'd wait until console is patched in before I do it. Also, people have pointed out a ton of reused assets from both MW2 and CoD4 in the game maps. I think reddit had an article about it as well. That, if anything, is a sure sign of laziness.

The 65 FOV is actually quite necessary for some gamers, me included. I get headaches from too low a FOV because my brain keeps trying to comprehend where the rest of my peripheral vision is and can't find it. It's why I can't play MW2 for an extended period of time without using one eye at a time per game. And even that gives me a headache eventually. And I like exploiting the quake engine with my fps sweet spots thank you very much <.<

f*** curving bullets around corners, just shoot through the wall and profit.

You both didn't watch it then. He didn't complain about any re-invention, he complained that IW did not deliver on promises, nor learn from past experience. They stated that they will have console support, and they did not deliver. FPS is capped at 90 frames, and since console is not available the FOV is stuck at 65. They received massive feedback on how MW2 was a flop for the PC community, they had Blops to get further information on it, but they still kept their heads up their asses and pushed through with a repeat of previous errors that were already brought to light. The result was a game that was not designed for any serious gameplay. Sure, it may be fun for a casual player, but that's not what he's arguing. He's a competitive gamer, so he's stating an opinion by looking at aspects key for a competitive scene. That's also the reason why I posted a first video, which was much more laid back. Both videos I posted aren't complaining about no re-invention, they're complaining about a lack of responsiveness to the PC community, and a failure to deliver on promises. And btw Joe, he played for a couple hours on stream. And it doesn't take a couple hours anyways to determine if a game isn't good. 20 - 30 minutes in on CoD4's release and you could tell the game was seriously botched and needed a quick patch. Fortunately, they delivered there.

Herp.

You do realize this could support the belief that a dedicated server being unranked is probably because it's just a rough rework of the private match system for xbox, right? This game looks worse and worse the more I see stuff about it :/ However, the maps don't look half bad, I'll give them that.

Basically, making dedicated servers unranked is a massive kick in the balls to pc players, moreso than just putting matchmaking. For one, it actually shows how they compare worth now. They feel that matchmaking, or what's common for consoles, is somehow "better" for leaderboards and the like, meaning they feel it's somehow "better" for a competitive atmosphere. Which is stupid as hell, because the host now has an advantage over every other player, which is definitely not suitable for a competitive situation. They feel that a dedicated server is somehow less worthy of p2p matchmaking for said competitive gaming, which is ridiculous on so many levels, not to mention insulting to the pc community. I can understand making modded dedicated servers unranked, but making it so that normal gameplay is unranked just because its on a dedicated server is just insulting. I'm still looking to see if the competitive scene actually goes to MW3, but after this, it seems highly unlikely now.

I go to my college's chess club, meets every Wednesday. There's usually not many people there, on average 4-6 each night, but hey, were an official club, so it doesn't really matter. Though we play bughouse more often than chess :s It's basically chess except it's a team of two vs a team of two, one teammate on black, other white. Whenever your teammate captures a piece, he gives it to you, and you can place a piece on the board anywhere (with a few limitations for pawns) as your turn, or you can do conventional chess moves. And each player has 5 minutes in total for all their moves. Checkmate or flagging of either player results in the whole team losing. It gets pretty hectic. It also doesn't help that we have a top ranked state chess player in the club :s nobody beats him except through pure luck or sneakiness.

I miss crash...

You can do a quick test in HC. Stand in between the two dumpsters leading to the statue on strike. Have another person stand behind the pile of sandbags next to the statue closest to to dumpsters. Don't use stopping power for either test. Shoot him with a silenced AK. It should take somewhere between 1-2 maybe 3 hits to kill him depending on where the shot lands. Shoot him with a non-silenced AK. It should be a 1 hit kill almost all the time. Bullet damage gets reduced over range, which is why a smg can kill a guy in 1 shot close range, but may take 5 to get them at long range. A silencer reduces that range further, causing more shots to do little to no damage, with little to no benefit against experienced players or mobs of people, one of which is very prevalent in the hc server.

Both hardcore and normal: Bandolier Hardcore: Sleight of Hand or UAV Jammer Normal: Stopping Power Both hardcore and normal: Deep Impact or Steady Aim Weapons: M40A3, AK, AKu, W1200, Deagle. All with no attachments. Ridiculous to ruin such good iron sights with crappy red dots or ruin the range with a silencer. Also, for all you MP5 users, the AK has the exact same stats except better range and reload times, so suck it.
