Yet another reason to avoid Call of Duty

So I borrowed Cod 4 from my brother, and played a game. The points started to go into the negative millions MILLIONS! I left the game, and found something annoying...

common its just a game just play for the fun of it nothing more nothing less...

IW doesn't care about this game anymore and they just let both versions get overrun with hackers. I don't think the hackers reset your rank and everything though, it was probably IW's anti-cheat bot that still manages the COD servers that automatically reset it when it detected you playing in a hacked lobby.

sorry for the late reply, but it was a deranking lobby, to get rid of the fake prestegers, I was an unlucky victim of it.
DJ Radio says: Sep 11, 2011. 2:11 PM
Lemmie know if you can get your full game up on the Reach fileshare.

I play black ops 'coz frankly its better than mw2 and I'm too cheap to buy bad company 2, however I will not get mw3, I will instead get battlefield 3 because Battlefield 2 was the game that got me into fps and frankly it looks amazing, but until october 25 black ops it is.
TheFoofinator (author) says: Sep 3, 2011. 3:47 PM
Thumbs up to you for not being a sheep. MW3 is MW2 wi different stuff in it. Have you seen the gameplay demos? You will be amazed at how much effort has gone into making it the most amazing game of all time
/sarcasm
Fred the Penguin says: Sep 3, 2011. 10:59 PM
yeah wheras (as far as i can tell) no effort has gone into battlefield 3 whatsoever, old physics engine horrible graphics, same weapons with no customisation

/sarcasm

I can't wait for BF3, i want flachette rounds for my shotgun.
MegaMetal8 says: Sep 4, 2011. 4:13 AM
Im getting BF3

If you wanna play some time my PSN:xDevinee
Fred the Penguin says: Sep 7, 2011. 12:43 AM
cool, My psn is tehlogicboy, i doubt i'll be playing anything till late november/early december. Exams take priority.
MegaMetal8 says: Sep 8, 2011. 11:58 AM
kk.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 16, 2011. 5:33 PM
You want a good game to play where your rank does not decrease?
Try Halo
TheFoofinator (author) says: Sep 3, 2011. 3:49 PM
My main game is reach.I'm a fields marshall because I play it more than I should.
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 9, 2011. 3:33 AM
Sorry forgot to comment! You are field marshall wow that is a f**ing high rank. I don't have Xbox live so I am at Lt. Colonel grade 3 and stuck there.

-BuzzSkull32
TheFoofinator (author) says: Sep 11, 2011. 1:37 AM
For someone who doesn't have live that's high. Do you just play campaign.
?

And yes it may seem a high rank field marshall, but it is actually only about 1/2 way through the ranks themsleves (credit-wise) I will probably need all the credits I earned and more to reach Inheritor (I probably will never see that day!)

Also I was Reaching like a Madman in Feb-May. It just takes ages to level up once you escape the 'graded' ranks. It is something like 500000 credits to Hero, my next rank.
DJ Radio says: Aug 21, 2011. 11:16 AM
If your rank does not decrease in Halo then why are there certain gamers called "Derankers" who only play to lose their rank? And why are there horror stories about people who win 10 games in a row and don't rank up, but lose one and derank?
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 21, 2011. 8:16 PM
Because some people want to see there rank go down to go up again and your horror stories? In Reach the higher rank you get the harder it is to rank up so theese stories are probably people who think the rank up cap for credits should stay the same instead of increasing, mabye that is it?
DJ Radio says: Aug 23, 2011. 10:22 PM
Mostly I was referring to Halo 3 because in Reach there is no deranking unless you boost and get caught. And the only reason it's harder to rank up the higher the rank you have is because it takes more credits to rank up. Really the only thing it takes more of to rank up is your time. It's not harder to rank up in Reach with each passing level, it just takes more time between each rank. Are you some kind of noob that cares?
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 24, 2011. 4:47 PM
I am not a noob I only use the Sniper rifle and Battle rifle and do not camp so I am not a noob in fact in my oppinion they should remove the rocket launcher in the next halo and if they don't it should kill you if you fire it.

Ha noobs you got nothing on me I would own you all!
-BuzzSkull32
DJ Radio says: Aug 24, 2011. 8:53 PM
Dude, those things don't determine your skill at all. Really the only people that care about rank in Halo are the biggest noobs.

Rockets shouldn't be removed because they're balanced (sure they are 1 hit kills, but you don't get a lot of ammo, and you have long reload times, and the rockets are slow), and power weapon control adds more 3-dimensionality to the game.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 25, 2011. 12:41 AM
Yes sorry your correct I was just saying that because I hate it when people call me a noob because I make most of my kills headshots and don't use OP weapons, I know this one guy who only uses the energy sword or gravity hammer as a primary and a shotgun rocket launcher as a secondary. The few times I will go for a single shot kill weapon (apart from the sniper rifle) it is always the spartan laser because everyone knows how hard that is to use, I use swords and hammers if that is the rules for that game variant or if that is all that is on the map because otherwise they make the game to easy (I only play on legendary so that says somthing) I mean my friend asks me: Hey you must have gotten your armor (the one in the picture is my actual armor configuration) by using your hammer and sword, and I say: I don't play with penises only rifles so no but I did get a couple grunt birthdays!

Sorry about the rambling.

-BuzzSkull32
DJ Radio says: Aug 25, 2011. 2:24 PM
The weapons you use don't determine your skill, it's only how you use them. Usage of weapons isn't even half of your skill. You have a lot to learn if your mindset is to avoid any "noob" weapons.

In the pro leagues, the faster you can kill an opponent, the better off you and your team will be. Therefore it makes sense to control power weapons like sword, shotgun, sniper, and rocket launcher to better your chances of winning. Using these weapons isn't being a noob at all.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 25, 2011. 3:26 PM
While you have some valid points I must disagree strongly on a basis of the fact that if you start to use the OP and noob weapons there is no more sport and challenge left in the game itself, such as alot of games like halo. You have to admit playing against noob players is very annoying isn't it?

Oh yeah MLG is for losers who have nothing better to do with there time then spend it on playing games, they could probably paint citadel figures like I do pretty well but they won't give it a go because they have to practice for there next big waste of time and effort, which is MLG meetings.

-BuzzSkull32
TheFoofinator (author) says: Sep 3, 2011. 3:55 PM
Yes! Finally another one of my fellow wargamers on this huge site! Which system do u play and which army?
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 7, 2011. 5:52 PM
Sorry I didn't respond I was having tech problems, I play just basic WarHammer and I use High elves. What do you use?
TheFoofinator (author) says: Sep 8, 2011. 9:11 AM
Warhammer 40k. You may not like this but Space Marine (NOT Ultrasmurfs), Orks, Imp. Guard and Tyranids. I have a few Dark eldar somewhere too.
apples!!!!! says: Aug 27, 2011. 6:21 PM
Playing video games at home is a waaay better use of your time, right? Lol.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 27, 2011. 7:52 PM
Yes and no while people think because I don't leave the house much because I am playing games with all my time, they are wrong I play alot of games but I just don't see the point of making a big deal out of them, MLG meetings are most times actualy held in games and other people not allowed in. Were it up to me MLG would be redone and have everything set so that it is more like a meeting in real life every two or three months not every other week, I am rambling again so...... Laters!

-BuzzSkull32
DJ Radio says: Sep 6, 2011. 9:22 PM
These people are paid and sponsored to play halo. That's the difference.
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 7, 2011. 5:54 PM
I am going to stop complaining about MLG now okay, are you happy?
Now time to compain about another thing which is just dumb: Facebook.
DJ Radio says: Sep 8, 2011. 6:55 PM
You don't have to, it's just that your complaints are unbased. My only complaint is that it's way too competitive for my tastes, but that's how it was designed in the first place.
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 9, 2011. 3:43 AM
Oh I don't have to stop rambling uh? Well I am sick of complaining so insted I will agree on somthing. So do you like any of these things?

Machinima
First Person Shooters
RPG
RTS
Citadel figure painting
Making games
Complaining (well you have probably figured that out from my posts)
Doing maths and learning? (I don't want to talk about that but if you like that then you are awesome!)

Or dislike these?

Facebook
AFL or competitive sport
Pessemistic people
DJ Radio says: Sep 9, 2011. 7:54 PM
First of all, I make machinimas, and FPS is really what I play. I used to like RPG but they got extremely generic and boring fast.
apples!!!!! says: Aug 27, 2011. 8:37 PM
What I'm saying is that you can't criticize people that meet up and hardcore game when you sit and home and do the same exact thing without the possibility of pay-off. If you game, you can't really criticize others for gaming ._.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 28, 2011. 2:29 PM
But I don't sit at home and do the exact same thing, I am sure MLG's are great people in real life just not in games and in there meetings, why do you need a game meeting?
Oh yeah quick question: Is the reason you are defending MLG because you are MLG?

-BuzzSkull32, still with the same oppinion and you are right about COD.
apples!!!!! says: Aug 28, 2011. 2:54 PM
People getting together and doing something they like is not a bad thing lol. Sitting in the house by yourself playing games is the same, if not worse...the only thing I can criticize about them is that they're taking something meant for fun and making it too serious(though I suppose some are there for fun). And no, I am not lol, but I also feel like criticizing them doesn't make any sense. Let people do what they want, because they could probably find a way to pick apart the things you do as well.
DJ Radio says: Sep 8, 2011. 6:56 PM
You probably weren't aware of this, but those people actually get paid to play the game like they do.
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 8, 2011. 8:44 PM
No way they get paid to play like noobs?
DJ Radio says: Sep 28, 2011. 4:16 PM
except they aren't noobs. They know what to do and they're some of the best at the game. However my top 3 players in terms of gameplay aren't pros.
apples!!!!! says: Sep 8, 2011. 7:24 PM
I thought they made money of some kind, I just wasn't sure if everyone got paid or if it was a contest type thing.
DJ Radio says: Sep 8, 2011. 7:44 PM
It's both. From what I hear you get paid according to how well your team places in competitions.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 28, 2011. 3:12 PM
Critizing terroists does not stop the problem but people still do it, It is good to know that you are not (new follower for you!) an MLG, and none will find a flaw in me I am too perfect! Chuck Norris blessed me with my perfectness! (including Halo super sniping) and he has not come to reclaim it. Besides no one could affect me by picking on my because there is nothing that people say to me that I find offensive.

-BuzzSkull32, still got that rambling problem.
DJ Radio says: Aug 29, 2011. 3:51 AM
You can't just be MLG, MLG is the name of a company, you can only be a paid professional at the game. And besides, MLG gatherings are really in public places, where fans can either play or watch their favorite teams play off live. You really don't know what you are talking about do you?
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 29, 2011. 8:51 PM
Okay granted the meetings thing I did get off "Arby 'n' The Chief" but other than that you have accused me of being a Sh*t player, of being a loser at games, acccused me of pretty much being beaten by an MLG, and of knowing nothing, so sorry if there are a few minor mistakes Mr.Know it all smart a**.

-Love BuzzSkull32

P.S. If that was too much please tell me and I will cool down.
DJ Radio says: Aug 31, 2011. 10:43 PM
Arby N the Chief is very obviously a Machinima, and it's satire. Most of the players the characters encounter are stereotypes and are obviously not realistic. I have not accused you of being "sh*t" or a loser, I just tried to imply that you are too cocky, you showed that you miss the smaller details that truly determine skill, and you wouldn't do so well against pros.
DJ Radio says: Aug 26, 2011. 3:07 PM
It depends on how you look at it. There's a way to counter any weapon. If noobs start running around with the sword, use the DMR and stay far away from them so they can't get to you. It's only annoying if you suck and you have no counter strategy for the situation. The only real annoying part is armor lock.

The people who you call losers will definitely beat the living crap out of you in Halo. Besides, most of them have lives. Most pros happen to be in college.
BuzzSkull32 says: Aug 30, 2011. 5:45 PM
Okay we agree on the armor lock, but the beating the living crap out of me pfft yeah right I would kick MLG ass anyday of the week and when I finaly get xbox live I will do so, that is the only thing I hate about xbox 360 you have to pay for online that sucks!

-BuzzSkull32 sorry for being rude.

P.S. are you MLG?
DJ Radio says: Aug 31, 2011. 10:47 PM
Ok, then explain how they are so well known and get paid to play halo, when you don't.

And no, I'm not a MLG pro, nor do I participate in it. In theory the MLG playlist is the most balanced but it is also way too competitive and Reach always matches me up with people that are far more skilled than I am. This makes it not as enjoyable as I hoped, but it does have potential.
MegaMetal8 says: Sep 8, 2011. 11:57 AM
If you don't mind me asking (I Sound stupid :I) What is "MLG"
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 8, 2011. 5:44 PM
You do not sound stupid at all, and MLG stands for: Major League Gamers.

You seem okay so subscriber for you.

-BuzzSkull32
MegaMetal8 says: Sep 8, 2011. 11:56 PM
Thanks, Know I pretty much know all the gamer talk.

Im on PS3, are you? I Play CoD

And getting a HDPVR November =D
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 9, 2011. 1:31 AM
No my dad's friend who lives with him says avoid PS3 because he has one and he says it sucks compared to Xbox and he is right. Also if you ever play xbox I am getting Black ops so why could see who is the better player! (when I get xbox live that is the upper hand you have, you don't have to pay for online games)
MegaMetal8 says: Sep 12, 2011. 11:20 AM
Not starting a flame war *sighs

I Do prefer Xbox but I like the PS3 too.

ENUFF SAID
BuzzSkull32 says: Sep 1, 2011. 3:29 AM
Ok yes I am very cocky and I my favorite reality (real life) I do have vanity, and I thank you for being the first person to point that out, but I still feel that it is just dumb that to pay there bills they play video games, I mean I play video games quite a bit but it does not pay my parents bills (by parents I mean my mum[Just so you know I am 14 I am not one of those dudes who sits at home all day at 37 and just plays games] because my dad lives down in Melbourne) and I am glad for that because that job would suck.

-BuzzSkull32, 'ya know that guy who says MLG sucks.

And also to the forementioned 37 year olds who use this site to pick on people
awsome.jpg
DJ Radio says: Sep 8, 2011. 6:58 PM
It's not dumb, the majority of these players are in college, or they have a lot of fun playing the game. Most of these players play for the fun, and money is just a side effect of their skill.
apples!!!!! says: Aug 27, 2011. 6:23 PM
I hate Call of Duty lol. It's such a mindless game.
knexinventer says: Jul 2, 2011. 9:38 PM
the bennifit of hacking is make other people lose money and to piss you off
caitlinsdad says: Jul 1, 2011. 5:21 PM
I guess it is useless if you didn't find out why the game was acting that way. Anything on the xbox forums, corrupted disks, hacked user accounts, etc.?
TheFoofinator (author) says: Jul 2, 2011. 11:25 AM
I entered into a game, only to find it was modified, and the hacker in it reset everyone's rank to 1, and nobody could level up or unlock anything anymore. It's people like that I hate most.
caitlinsdad says: Jul 2, 2011. 1:11 PM
Ah, so you were a victim of some rigged online game encounter. I only read this is do not play Call of Duty.
TheFoofinator (author) says: Jul 2, 2011. 3:50 PM
I know, the game is full of every kind of nasty person available online. I tend to avoid it unless I play with friends.
