Ken Burton’s wonderful AA-12 adventure

Ken Burton has discovered the wonderful AA-12 automatic shotgun in his latest video. This is my secondary weapon on my main classes and I love it. Hope I can unlock that grip soon though as the recoil is something awful. Dead effective in a small room! Yes, you definitely need Scavenger to pick up more ammo.

I just added myself to the html5 beta on Youtube. Unfortunately videos with adverts will still use the old Flash player, and I suspect most of the ones I’ll watch there will be those.

Ages ago I wrote an FPS Freek review on my main blog. It’s a small extender that makes the stick on your controller longer, and supposedly easier to use. I thought I should share it here too with a link.

Short summary: don’t bother buying them. I wish MS would allow the use of keyboard and mouse on the Xbox 360!

Playing defensively in Modern Warfare 2 …

Playing defensively in Modern Warfare 2 is a lot easier than running and gunning. Sometimes after an intense game of knifing and running around I’ll stand up and my legs will be shaking, with my stomach in knots.

I mix it up and run and gun but a little more carefully now. A lot less stressful! Here’s a good guide to playing defensively. Definitely worth trying every now and again when things get crazy.

Hmm, lots of updates today, mostly catching up on stuff I read during the week.

Running and gunning in Favela in MW2

Since David posted a video a while back I might as well post this one here.

This game is from January 18th, shot on a Flip Mino on a tripod as I sat slightly to the side. I was wearing headphones so no sound except my occasional grunts and curses. I edited out the bit at the end where I stood up too quickly and knocked over the tripod. 🙂

Oh, and I can’t believe I missed that guy lying on the ground. I stunned him but thought someone else had finished off the job as he wasn’t moving.

Ok, so Commando gives you a longer lunge…

Ok, so Commando gives you a longer lunge when knifing. I wasn’t sure just how far it was until I read this post and saw this video and the other one David linked to. Amazing.

Should it be removed? Hell no. Equip yourself with a shotgun and if you’re in close quarters use that instead of your primary weapon. Either that or don’t stay in the one corner.
