Ah well , double XP moved me from level 30 on one prestige to level 20 on the next :-) I also noticed theres a new 'mode' under the basic gameplay options "Nuketown 24x7 - All Nuketown , All the time" - basically an assortment of game modes but only on Nuketown , I tried it last night and got Sabotage and Demolition but if your looking to get some silly kill numbers its an interesting choice (also I have noticed in the regular game if Nuketown ever comes up as an option it always gets voted for) |

It can be a bit of an aquired taste , I've had some great Nuketown games , and some rubbish ones - like all matches though it really depends on what the other players are doing. We played a number of matches on Sunday which were just Hardcode Team Deathmatch , and the camping going on for some levels was just stupid , there was one person on the Villa map who spent the first half the game lying down on a bed in one of the upper floor rooms , and it took a concerted effort from a number of us to take him down from there (he then went on to camp in another area on the next map). I think Nuketown is at its best when you have a goal and its a mad dash to get that goal while the other team is trying to do something similar , so things like Domination , Headquarters , Demolition , Capture the Flag can all work well because on such a short concentrated map theres not a lot of chances to hide / camp (although people do still try). It also means in general if your killed , when you respawn your back in the action quickly (nothing worse than being in a firefight on one of the larger maps and being killed , spawning on the other side of the map and spending ages traveling back to the action). |

Oh and perfect example of broken spawn points (with probably a bit of help from the other players) http://www.battlestrats.com/_/general-n ... anned-r683 Quote: Earlier this week a YouTube video blew up on across the gaming world. The video featured a player who by the end of the game had over 500 kills and only 8 deaths. The players had locked down each spawn point and appeared to have a few people on the other team who helped. Fifteen minutes of fame has turned into Activision temporarily banning the accounts and resetting the ranks of these players. According to the community manager, it is a form of boosting and you don't want to be caught doing it. Check out the video below |

How to be a modding/cheating/glitching person when you prestige : When you prestige you typically have a bucketload of money and then you have nothing. I've tried using up my cash by buying every background , and icon , but my artistic skills are basically zero :-) *however* it is possible to carry some of the money over for the next level. The way to do it is to play a wager match , when the map is locked in you can hit the prestige button , and your cash has already been 'taken' so if you place you get the prize money. It does of course rely on you placing in the match , not easy and not if you have all those cod-dollars riding on it. |

Level 17 is where it all starts to come together for me , i have the AKu47 , my perks , semtex , and claymore and I normally get Ghostpro and steadyaimpro around this point as well. By the time level 20 comes around thats the Galli and the last gun I actually buy (apart from launchers / crossbow) until I get the Commando at 44 / hardline pro / and searching for that elusive headshot to get secondchance pro - also start to play a few matches of CTF to get marathon pro done. The real issue for me at the moment is hitting the max on some of the lifetime awards , they give out 20,000 XP and I got 2 of them between 40 and 50 last time (I'd rather get them earlier in the level cycle) nickachu wrote: But I like the extra classes and the pretty symbols!

I basically only buy the famas, AK47u and the AK47, and the launchers so the levels don't really matter too much, once I've got the little AK I'm fine. I've been mixing up the perks a bit now though, trying out flak jacket and tac mask are pretty good together for objective based games. |

Weapons I buy : Enfield (although the last few times around I've just stuck with the stock MPK5 or M16) AK47u (17) Galil (20) Commando (44) Sterla (30) Knife (15) Crossbow (33) I also buy Claymores / Semtex / nova gas Perk wise I pro Lightweight Scavenger Ghost Hardline Steady Aim Warlord Marathon Second chance I use but dont pro Flak Jacket Tac mask Ninja The 4 main classes I use are : Antiair Semtex / Claymore / smoke Ghost / Steady aim / Marathon Galil (silenced) / launcher Hardline Semtex / Claymore / smoke Hardline / Steady aim / Second chance Either Galil or Commando with a silencer for regular or AKu74 for hardcore (with a grip) / launcher Scavenger Semtex / Claymore / novagas Scavenger / warlord / tac mask Ak47u with rapid fire and grip / crossbow Speed Semtex / Claymore / smoke Ghost / Steady aim / marathon Ak47u (grip) / knife I also have a silent class (with ninja) , an Armour class (with flak jacket) and then various combinations of the above with the guns slightly switched. Killstreaks I always use spy plane , early on I get counter spy plane and SAM turret and always have care package I often switch out the counterspyplane/sam turret for the default chopper after I've unlocked some of the pro perks I was playing around last night and noticed someone using the little boxy SMG (MAC11) with a silencer it has *NO* recoil at all , you just point and shoot with no jerking around the screen (even without a grip) , main problem with it is the very low chamber size , if you run up against more than one enemy at once you'll struggle to take more than 1 down without reloading but its an interesting little gun. |

I tend to use the AK47u on everything apart from my sniper class. Last couple of days I've tried switching my killstreaks to counterspyplane/napalm/blackbird for domination and it worked out pretty well. |

I tend to use a silenced M16 with a reflex sight, ghost pro, warlord pro, ninja pro, and a Strela-3 launcher. Perks are care package, chopper gunner and attack dogs. I have a separate class with Hardline Pro to play swapsies with my care packages. I set up some others, but this one just works too well at the moment! Might use my Flak class if we play some more HQ. |

nickachu wrote: I really don't get on with the m16 I don't know why, I just can't use it. I had found it a difficult gun to use , and the main problem is that it doesnt really work for run'n'gun very well. If you turn a corner and theres someone standing there you want something to spray a lot of bullets in their general direction - with the M16 you need to get to the head or get out of there way sharpish ! Where it does work is medium / long range where the 3 shot generally will drop someone (or 2 bursts will) , also it doesn't need to be reloaded the same way most other guns do - silenced and creeping up on someone's flank works great for it because they are getting shot (if they even notice) and are dropped much quicker than a full auto gun. Also because it doesn't do full auto you don't tend to 'waste' as much ammo , it seems more precise - last time round I kept a class using it and it had ghost / warlord (I really cant see the point of steady aim with it because you generally need to 'aim' rather than spray) and Ninja and used it on objective based games to sneek around the edges (my normal tactic is go in quickly and directly get the objective and move on) , for the 2ndary I had the full auto pistol (which has surprising range) and tended to use that when i had to run between points as turning a corner onto someone it was almost as good as any of the SMG's |

The M16 isn't as effective in non-hardcore modes, but in Hardcore it is absolutely brutal (and incredibly accurate). |

Oh and balancing out my good win/lose rate my K/D is not as nice :-)  (although I dont care if I got killed more times as long as I won the game and for some levels that really is charge to the point and kill the person taking it even if you die - Point B in Berlin is a great map for that). |
