Infinity Ward - Map Packs, OVER PRICED!

I am very into my video games and my favourite is MW2. I love it. Infinity ward did a great job and somehow managed to improve on COD4.

Millions of copies were sold in the first few days and it became the fastest selling video game since Halo 3, that's an achievement I can tell you! Everyone at infinity ward will have made an absolute bomb. Then, they state they are releasing New Maps in the Spring. I, like many others, can't wait!

My joy on the release day of The Stimulus Pack was soon crushed. £15 Pounds for 3 New Maps and 2 Old!? WHAT A RIP!!! That should have been £10 at top, not even that. I could understand it if they had brought some new guns and game modes but no, Infinity Ward just want more money, greedy Sods.

Many complaints are filed so when the release date of the next Map Pack were given, we all hoped it would be cheaper or bring more content. We were wrong. It was exactly the same!!! Seriously, I was so pissed I still haven't bought the New Map Pack. Its a Joke!

Bring on Black Ops is all I say....

Turtle Beach X1 Headset

I decided I needed a good gaming headset to maximise my gaming experience. I had a look around and I finally decided to purchase these. I originally chose these as they were not as expensive as many other headsets, only £59.95, and also because I liked the look of them and Turtle Beach is a well known quality brand.

When they arrived I decided to try them out on MW2. And all I can say is ‘WOW’. The sound quality coming through the headset was just simply unbelievable, it was like I was actually there. I also found that the quality of sound actually improved my gameplay. It isn’t surround sound but it’s still very easy to hear the footsteps of an enemy from really far away and know what direction they are coming from. This makes this headset ideal for playing Search and Destroy when you desperately need to locate the enemy and kill them. You can also use Ninja Pro which really helps as then you can only hear the footsteps of the enemy.

However, don’t get the impression that the Turtle Beach’s are only good for shooter games. I didn’t realise the full quality of the sound until I tried the headset on PGR4 and FIFA10. You can literally hear everything. It really does take gaming to a whole new level and it adds a completely new perspective to video gaming. Sounds like the car changing gear and the murmurings and mutterings of the crowd which are normally inaudible, are now made available. It’s fantastic.

Another good thing about the Turtle Beach X1s is the volume control. There are two volume control dials on the headset itself. One controls the volume of the game sound and the other the volume of people who are talking to you. Wether it be in game chat, party chat or private chat. This means you are not disrupted by your friends talking to you really loudly when you are trying to concentrate on the game you are playing on. You can turn down the voice volume really low but it is still possible to hear clearly what someone is saying. Again brilliant.

However, there are a few problems. One of them is that after an hour or so of wearing the headset, it can start to hurt your ears. It isn’t too bad but it does result in me having to take them off for maybe a minute or adjusting them to make it more comfortable. The other issue is the wires. They are very long. I am afraid it is a price you have to pay for purchasing the cheaper wired headset. Constantly they get tangled up and because I occasionally use a wired controller it can get very annoying. Although, the benefits of the headset easily outweigh the negatives.

9/10

Call of Duty Black Ops

The game is being released later this year, 9th if November to be exact, and for info and updates on this new game, visit http://www.callofduty.com/blackops.

Death Streaks

Aarrgghh!

I know I always seem to have a general moan but this is another flaw that Infinity Ward made I am afraid.

There have been many occasions that I have been downed, short of a high killstreak reward, by someone using Death Streaks.

Painkiller - This is probably the most annoying of the lot. I hate it when you get into the opponents spawn, and own, only to be downed by some douchebag with Painkiller!! Twice I have been killed 1 of a Nuke because of this. Gutted.

Final Stand - This can also be incredibly annoying. Not because they can finish you of after being shot, that isn't always the issue. The most annoying thing is that they can get back up after about 30 seconds!! This is especially annoying when you are sniping and you cannot get at them on final stand as they have crawled away.

Copycat - This really isn't a problem, nobody really uses it and it doesn't give you that much of an advantage.

Martydom - Lets just say I am glad this is not a perk, like it was in COD4. i am pleased to say I am yet to be killed by Martydom on MW2.....

Only a short post today I am afraid, short of time.

Stay Tuned

Intervention or Barret 50cal?

These are clearly the two best snipers on the game I am going to list my PROs and CONs below for each:

Intervention:

PROs.

1. Is a retro style sniper and sadly the only bolt-action on the game, M40A3 comes to mind which is definitely not a bad thing.

2. Has a very good range and is a 95% chance of killing someone in one shot in the torso.

3. Satisfying to use.

4. Requires skill to use.

CONs.

1. Bad at close range unless you're a quick-scope and no scope God.

2. Doesn't always kill in one shot when it should, this usually results in the injured opponent fleeing or turning around and shooting the crap out of you.

Barret 50cal.

PROs.

1. Does the same amount of damage as the Intervention so usually kills in one.

2. If you don't kill in the first shot it is very easy to finish them off very soon after.

3. Good at close range as well, stick on an ACOG and you effectively have a FAL but better :)

CONs.

1. Not as satisfying as the Intervention

2. Has bad recoil.

So I have to admit that on paper the 50cal. is the better gun, however, I still prefer to use the Intervention purely for the satisfaction. The Bolt action makes this more of a challenge also. I would recommend the Intervention for anyone who plays the game for fun.

Please keep reading and checking on this Blog :)

HeartBeat Sensors

Urggh... I HATE THEM!! They are for Noobs who cannot find people the normal way. They require no skill to use and they just piss me off! :@

Anyway, I myself hardly ever use them, because of the many above reasons and for two more;

1. If anyone is using Ninja you are screwed.

2. I find myself concentrating too much on the monitor itself and not what is going on around me, because of this I tend to get killed from long distances away or from behind. The areas in which the 'monitor' cannot reach.

There really isn't much more to say... If anyone is actually reading these posts it would be brilliant if you would comment below or even better Follow me :)

I will be doing a longer more detailed post either tomorrow or Thursday, please stay tuned and tell your friends ;)

FMJ

This is a feisty attachment!

I am sure you have been minding your own in a building when suddenly there is a explosion of bullets around you as the enemy fires a round of FMJ explosive rounds at you.

FMJ stands for Full Metal Jackets. This makes the bullets stronger when they go through a surface. Infinity Ward falsely shows on the stats page that FMJ makes your gun do more damage. Wrong. FMJ only makes your weapon do more damage if you are shooting at an enemy through a surface. The 'Metal Jacket' surrounding the bullet helps it to go through surfaces and terrify any enemy on the other side.

This is a useful attachment, in my opinion, for most guns, especially LMGs and Snipers.

Only a short post today I am afraid, but there will be more coming! Stay tuned and please follow this page :)

UMP45

Hi, my first post is going to be on the ever popular UMP45. This is a Submachine Gun that is arguably the most popular gun on MW2. In this blog I am going to give you my Tips, opinions and guides on how to use it, when to use it and what attachments to use. So here we go.

In my opinion the UMP is the most overpowered gun on the game. The amount of times I have been spawn trapped by a very organised team of UMP users is easily in the hundreds, however it is probably the most enjoyable gun to use.

I am going to give my views on the attachments, IF YOU THINK I AM WRONG PLEASE COMMENT BELOW:

Rapid Fire 7/10 - Very handy at close range and the UMP has a good sight on it anyway so works well for it. Unlike other SMGs this attachment doesn't make you shoot at the sky whenever you hold the trigger for more than a second. There is low recoil but it is still advised that you use this on a small map with no open space as shooting with this at a lange range does not work.

Red Dot 8/10 - Makes the gun very accurate and it is very easy to pick off enemies from a long distance away. This makes it good for close quarters and medium to long range.

Holographic Sight 6/10 - I am not a fan of this attachment as I feel the 'Dot' is too big and, in my opinion, this makes the gun less accurate, not as effective at long range as the red dot sight.

ACOG Scope 7/10 - I was surprised about this, although it makes your gun look retarded it isn't that bad. Using this on any other SMG wouldn't work but the low recoil of the UMP really helps. Using sleight of hand PRO makes it all the better.

Thermal Scope 7/10- You may be surprised at this decent rating but there are situations when this becomes very handy. Using this with Bling and I silencer attached and Stopping Power, allows you to effectively snipe with an SMG. Very handy on Wasteland, Underpass and Overgrown.

FMJ 8/10 - Very good for spraying the walls for that enemy you know lies within ;) I would recommend firing in bursts. There is a technique to master and if you aquire it, you will never look back.

Silencer 9/10 - Without doubt the best attachment for this gun. For some reason this doesn't lower the damage of the gun noticeably and still takes down an enemy with 2-3 shots to the torso area. Probably my favourite option for Search and Destroy.

Akimbo 4/10 - Good for a laugh with your mates but if you want to play properly, stay away!

Extended Mags 6/10 - Take a long time to unlock and in the end it isn't really worth it. Never has the situation occurred when this has helped me in any way.

My Perfect UMP45 Set-Up:

Primary : UMP45 with SILENCER

Secondary : M9 Raffica Akimbo

Perk 1 : Sleight of Hand

Perk 2 : Stopping Power

Perk 3 : Ninja (I am a Sound Whore ;) Turtle Beaches X1...)

Equipment;

Semtex

Stun Grenades ( Faster and more effective than flash in my opinion.)

I use this all of the time on SnD.

Thanks for reading, this is my first post so be kind.
