Anthony shows off his Modern Warfare 2 classes. I’ve played with him a few times and he always rips through the enemy so I was particularly interested in this.
I notice he has completely different perks to me, but I bet he’d still be a better player even when using mine. I haven’t used steady aim since I got my headset as my footsteps were so loud but maybe it’s time to revisit perk 3 again.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 updated today.
I bought the MW2 map pack and unlocked the BC2 maps with my VIP pass. Woohoo!
Are you happy with the updates and map pack?
The Modern Warfare 2 map pack hits Xbox 360 tomorrow, here are the things you need to know about the update coming too. I for one am happy to see fixes to the ping calculator.
Modern Warfare 2 map guides by geminitex. I watched the lockdown on Karachi one on David’s blog, have subscribed to geminitex and hopefully I’ll watch the rest soon!
Oh, and never played COD4 online? Don’t know the new “old” maps coming in the Stimulus Pack? Here’s all you need to know about Overgrown. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks Geoff for the link. It’s much appreciated, especially after a less than successful night’s play yesterday. I blame a late start and general tiredness. Onwards and upwards.
In other news, ONLYUSEmeBLADE is back!

Want to improve that score? Remember those class guides I blogged a few days ago? TheStonedSheep has followed those guides up with a land vehicles guide and aircraft guide. Great reads.
I’m dividing my time between Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2, once I get back to MW2 I must try out the Tar 21. Haven’t ever used it, opinion is divided about it. Here’s a good overview of the gun.
A Modern Warfare 2 super speed patch in the wild? Paul will be happy methinks. I never encountered one of those modded lobbies and hopefully won’t either. (via)
OMG. I played a blinder this evening. Paul and Eddie joined me in a few games of Modern Warfare 2 today. Here’s how it went:
Mostly played with my silent class: Silenced UMP with AA-12 (hardly ever used) and perks were Marathon Pro, Stopping Power Pro and Ninja Pro.
Even with my tactical layout I managed a few knife kills, including one of a very annoying sniper who did a lot of damage to my KDR! Now I’ve jinxed it of course so I’m not going to touch the Xbox tomorrow night. Maybe.
Unfortunately to put a downer on the evening when I took off my headphones I heard a loud buzzing from my Xbox 360. A quick search shows it could be the DVD drive but MW2 is installed to the harddisk. I may ring Microsoft tomorrow.
Update! Paul blogged about his games too. Glad he had a great time too!
Mini XBLA Games review:
Chime – it’s for charity, it’s a puzzle game where you have to create 3×3 or larger blocks from a randomly selected shape, think Tetris but the shapes are fully controllable and the shapes you create don’t disappear. I only played one game but it wasn’t altogether clear where to place blocks to full advantage. There is a good game hiding in there but even though a minimum of 60% of the purchase price goes to charity it’s probably not a game I’ll be buying. Great music though.
Polar Panic – you control a polar bear who has to shove blocks to kill the marauding trappers. Great game, cute graphics, and on easy mode it’s very accessible. Tempted to buy it as it’s fun and child friendly. One that my son enjoyed watching me play.
Unfortunately I only have 1240 points left and with the Modern Warfare 2 DLC on the 30th that may be my next purchase.
I had 10 minutes to play something earlier in the day and fired up Bad Company 2, single player for a blast. God, it’s so sedate compared to the multi player online play. I loved it!
