    Just had my best match ever!! 23-6!! With the Hardline Perk, I lucked up and got a Pave Low in a care package!! That gave me about 8 extra kills! But even without that, I had a great match!! :techman:

    I feel like I got the hang of Multiplayer now. I've had a few days if vacation and I decided to have an MW2 marathon. I'm moving up in rank very fast and I've unlocked some cool perks and attachments.

    I've switched from Hardline to Stopping Power. Once I unlocked FMJ, it was just natural. I've been killing about 12-18 a match while dying only 8-12 times a match. My accuracy is up to around 11% now too! Just a few minutes ago, I got a 17 killstreak! I got my first AC130!!! Won't be long before I'm nuking assholes from space!! :techman:

    Also, after almost 2 months, I decided to play the single player mission again on the veteran setting. This is such an exhilarating game. Great story. I think Whiskey Hotel remains my favorite mission follwed by... Shit, I don't know. This is an awesome game.

    Not bad last night although I thought I did pretty crap on wasteland.

    Partly caused by my attempt at using a bluetooth headset, then realising that nobody else was and trying to shut the thing off while the game progressed.

    FWIW my 5 kill streak is a sentry gun. One of those plonked in the right place is a massacre.

    I was pretty geeked last night when I saw you on. Glad you could join me for a bit! I thought you did quite well!

    I've been using the AUG HBAR SMG blinged out with the Grip and FMJ. Stopping Power and Commando. I noticed that the lack of kickback makes for a more accurate shot when shooting long distances.

    I've been mostly using the SCAR with the M203, and using a stinger as my secondary weapon.

    My primary "grenade" is a claymore, and my secondary a couple of flashbangs.

    about the only level where I use a different setup is Derail, where I use a barrett / aa-12 combo.

    I had very little doubt this would happen, but here it is. Modern Warfare 2 tops $1B!! I believe it is just a matter of time before a video game beats Titanic/Avatar in total gross. Mark my words.

    Could happen. Avatar is currently at about 990m in profits. MW2 is about 750m. Wouldn't be a shocker to see either one making more money in the long run.

    Interesting set to note however:

    Guitar Hero III has profits so far of 2 billion.

    World of Warcraft makes about 100 million in profits a month. It's been out since 2004 and doesn't show much sign of slowing down.

    Of course, Vivendi is running the shop for all 3 of those games...
