Dumb AI and HI

[x_rex30]

In speed runs, of course most people won't be able to do it, but if you are going against basic ai, and predictable enemies.. what is so great besides you being able to map out the game.. that's what you are basically doing.

I use to be an addict when it came to watching speed runs. But then I realized that the ai or the programing of enemies were extremely shitty.

Then I realized after playing MW2, that even most of the best players are just winning off of the stupidity of others, kinda like the ai does to beat you..

I like versing a team that knows each other due to it being such a fun challenge, and I win against even some of the highest ranked people while I'm on a team of strangers just by understanding the simplistic strategies they use. And a lot of them suck at mixing their strategy up.

You know why? Go to joystiq, gametrailers, ign.. and check out all the damn complainers about how the game isn't balanced.. and how annoying snipers are. The good players know this is how a lot of people look at the game, and they win because of this.

Stop looking up guides, exploits and stop using just basic learned fps tactics.

For example. If you are a sniper.. I can just hang out in your hot spots with a shield, then my team will most likely win since you are use to dominating that spot. You are now going to die and I'll do nothing else but keeping you from using it. Looks like I'm doing nothing but hanging out in that one area but then explain why my team of randoms won? Because I stole your hotspots, and I'm not a kill, death ratio freak. That is ALL they talk about online... thats how they brag. But IMO You are not a team player.. you are the reason teams loose, especially if you are going to go against someone like me.. Everytime I win against these simplistic players, they start going off about KILL DEATH RATIO. And that's it!!... I mean come on.. I don't want you on my clan.. neither would my clan members.

If you use this strategy, someone who is use to racking up 100 or so kills will be stuck getting a lot less kills.

If a team switches strategy, I can tell pretty quickly and I will take out my custom classes. Like my kamikaze custom class. Rocket launchers, sticky grenades, grenade launchers, increased explosive damage and ammo pick up..... sometimes I'll turn on the faster reloading.. OUCH!!

If they are bunched together, I'll start getting multiple kills at one time. If I hear someone close I could just take out my sticky grenade and will drop it when I die, and if I'm using the extra explosive damage perk... you better run.

I've killed in a small room 8 people one at a time with the riot shield just by bashing them. With my sensitivity is all the way up they can't back stab. I had the melee distance perk on, so that helped a lot. I can hear the gunfire easily with surround sound tritton headphones, so I can dodge the fire easily. Run in a 45 degree angle and pay good attention to where your shield is getting hit, and you'll easily be able to run straight to a snipers hide away and kill him. You could also get close to him, then just hide so he's always on the look out for you. that is pretty fun and funny. I can tell if you are trying to hit me in the legs.. that will not work.. I can see you can get a shot at my head.. too bad I'm ready for that.

Now the fun part.. ninja time with surround sound headphones. I know where everyone is at every second in the entire map.. I can tell where shots are coming from and where the shots are hitting... good luck not getting stabbed in the back...

Understand the terrain, understand all the strategies, adjust your strategy when the other team changes their strategy, and you will win..

If you care about winning more than kill death ratio, and I'm versing you... stop being a sniper because you will die.. stop bundling up with your buddies because I will blow everyone of you up.

If you are short on ammo.. hold the sticky grenade.. it will not blow up until you die. And if you have last stand on.. you can get a perfect stick on the enemy without having to try. This will annoy every person you do this to. It is funny because people who think they are good at this game are just going to have their egos beaten up.

The less you care about kill death ratio,, the more you will piss off all the elitests in this game.

I mean, I joined in the middle of a game in progress, and every second after I spawned, I died. A guy had 120 kills and 4 deaths. My team didn't know each other and the other team was a full clan and had very high stats. Next match.. me starting from fresh.. the team was about to loose.. like a second or two away.. then the server timed out.. or something like that. Man these effers at half time were yelling at each other for not sticking to the plan.. lol..

Good luck.

Please give me names of video games that don't have extremely predictable ai.. I mean, I'm getting sick of making the ai do what I want it to do. A lot of games do have it so the ai seems good.. but really it's just good programing that will beat you if you keep trying to win doing repetitive attacks.. Most newer games I play have good programing.. but once you realize how the ai fights, you can win the games even on the hardest difficulty.

My new favorite game is Demon Souls. The bad guys do seem programed just to do random attacks.. but man.. that game doesn't apologize for shit. I play the game using only two daggers. If a bow comes at me.. I have to hit it away with split second timing.. holy hell I love it. And I won't kill a guy unless it's instant. You can push yourself over the limit playing games like this.. but that's the point if you want to get better. Don't use exploits, don't cheat and you'll be happier when you win the game.

I did mention I have a clan... I think

I don't like mercenary mode that much because I like versing a bunch of people that know each other and my team being just random players. It's very satisfying to win in this fashion IMO.

[kenisama]

It can be, but I'd much rather play with my clan any day of the week than a random team. Win or lose (my clan is more about camaraderie than anything else), we like to play and have fun.

Nothing wrong with that.

tl;dr.
Here's how to be a really fucking GAR sniper in MW2.

1.) RELOCATE AFTER EVERY SHOT, you douche.

2.) Don't hold your breath while taking medium or short range shots. Makes your distance shooting GODLIKE when you do hold your breath. You probably won't listen to me, but that's okay, you'll make a nice target.

3.) Unfortunately, you can't run while zoomed in constantly like in Call of Duty 1.0, so you must come up with new ways of RUSHING SHIT DOWN. With the .50 caliber semi automatic Barrett, you can spam high caliber FMJ rounds at your opponent, through walls, as you tear ass towards them, terrifying them additionally with your swamp-monster-like ghillie suit. Bonus points for bunny hopping while knifing.

4.) Kill death ratio means nothing. Fuck scores, fuck reality, fuck playing the game how you are 'supposed' to. All that matters is that the other guy thinks you're an aimbot because you twitch shot his ass while he was jumping out a window. Fajit.

5.) Why are you camping far away? Get in there, you pussy. Spam .50 cal at close range, one of those rounds is bound to be a headshot.

6.) If you are hung up on actually realistically playing the role of a sniper, spam .50 cal at a distance, gimp the fuck out of the guy before you drop him. Watching him hop around trying to go prone is rather hilarious. You have 11 rounds, use them.

7.) Silencers are for pussies, the reason the Barrett goes BOOM is because you want the other guy to crap his pants and know you want to eat his heart. SPAM THAT SHIT. Instill terror in the clanfags.

8.) A note about sidearms: only choose sidearms that other players know as 'bitch guns.' Additionally, always have your knife at the ready.

9.) A note about humiliating kills: whenever possible, sneak up behind enemy players, and instead of using your knife, take the time to scope in on the back of their heads, wait a few seconds for added impact, and then unload on them. You may opt to use body shots and spam these. They are guaranteed to rage at the killcam.

10.) Finally, assure everyone that you are the best sniper in the history of MW2. Make sure to get a nice "I WIN FAGS" in after every match. This will let the other players know that no matter what their level or score, you are a better person than them.

I lurve me some sniper fights, but I also hate staying in one spot. I also like to go around stabbing people, which my friends probably hate most. Also, if I'm able to throw a knife right between the eyes, I consider it a successful game whether or not if I win or lose.

THANK YOU GOD!!!! AMEN!!!

I do number 9 all the time. I also love shaking my booty left and right with the shield! They get so frustrated about it being impossible to kill me, that they run at me only to get mowed down by my team like a bunch of idiots. I love the "you make an excellent distraction".

I almost always get the reward for getting the most assists in the game.. I get made fun of that at the end of battles at times because I get like 2 kills and 4 deaths(but come on, I got like 15 assists).. even though I use the shield(maybe I use it because I suck at everything else!? >.> <.<), even though the other team lost miserably. Please, god save your soul and help guide you getting over your insecure self. Amen x2

[x_rex30]

oh shoot.. I must add this..

I have a custom class where I am undetectable by just about everything. "Scrambler | Scrambler Pro", "Cold-Blooded | Cold-Blooded Pro" and to keep reloading "Scavenger | Scavenger Pro"

STINGER, JAVELIN

And my favorite.. Tactical Insertion

I sometimes will use my shield so when I'm setting up the Tactical Insertion, I will duck and face away from the enemy and they will be unable to kill me. This helps keep me outside to destroy the air support.. I should take some snapshots of my stats on destroying those effers air support..

I will kill myself on purpose just so I can bring it out and destroy all of your air support.

I love it.. I can tell a jet is coming, I kill myself.. and then the second the main jet shows up.. KABOOM!!! HAHAHA.

Here is advice with the shield. Always run at your enemies to scare them and always do it in a 45 degree angle with the shield pointing mainly towards your toes. You should be able to tell when you think you should duck. When you duck, make the shield go through the floor unless there is an ahole trying to jump on your head. ALWAYS have your Blast Shield on. You don't need the radar if you have a good sound system. When you are overwhelmed and you think people are trying to get you from the side.. then duck and make the shield go through the floor and back up where you KNOW your teamates are.

If you want to keep annoying people with the shield.. Ignore the Blast Shield and get your Tactical Insertion on. While you are setting it, Make sure you are facing AWAY from the gun fire and make sure you are ducking, then turn around right away when done setting it and you should be fine. If you die.. come back as fast as possible and turn around right away when coming back to life.. and then beat down the ahole that was trying to destroy your insertion.. then when he's dead................................... set up another one. Nothing more fun than being one of the most annoying players alive in this game. And trust me.. if you get good with this tactic.. you will be a lot more annoying than the guy getting like 100 kills and 2 deaths. But if you are playing like an ass hat like I like to play.. he wont be able to even get that many kills.

Like ZephyrStar and myself said. F your Kill/Death ratio.. Besides you wont be caring about it if you are up against a player such as myself and ZephyrStar.

Edit: Oh yeah. it is funny when you are doing the mode where you plant a bomb and you move the shield on your back towards all fire while planting the bomb... I often get the most bombs planted because of this.

With the riot shield and blast shield on.. just lay down everywhere you go if enemies are hiding above you.. or if they have a Chopper Gunner.. people seem to have trouble killing you when you do that.

Also if you are planting a bomb.. I recommend being a ninja class to run and hide by the plant station as quickly as possible. Also it's funny when they can't kill you when you lay down with a shield on your back as you are planting a bomb. I never saw many people doing that though.. it just seems to work when I have done it.. It's just funny when the shield guy just WONT DIE! That's why it's my favorite class.

If you duck when using your shield and make it go through the floor while you have extra armor on using Blast Shield.. even when they throw explosives at you, YOU WILL NOT DIE! Always walk straight back and straight forward. If you don't then there will be times that your body is exposed to allow a sniper or someone else take you out.

God I love the Riot Shield. I never knew it was so easy to piss off people who are really good at FPS until this game came into existence. One of the things that make it so much to play. No matter how good you generally are at fps.. I will kick your ass if you don't have enough variation.
