Post Patch Defense of Atacama Desert

This is a game I played with David last night. I groaned when I saw we were playing on Arica Harbor Atacama Desert as I don’t really like this map and we did lose in the end. The game went on for 25 minutes too, it had it’s good moments and overall I enjoyed it.

David’s uploading a video from his gameplay last night but he already posted this teaser. Nice smoke grenade kill!

ACE Pin? What? How the hell did I do that? My aim in Bad Company 2 is completely ruined by playing Black Ops.

I did really badly in a game of SDM by myself but then David came online and we joined a game of rush, on Atacama Desert unfortunately. We were beaten easily and my aim was so bad I just switched to medic and used the SAW to spray and pray.

Bad Company 2 is so much more interesting than any Call of Duty game. Where else can you see vehicles sail through the air after hitting land mines?

There’s a huge update for Bad Company 2…

There’s a huge update for Bad Company 2 coming on the PS3 this evening, including data and assets for Map Pack 7 and Vietnam so it’ll be big. It can’t come soon enough if you ask me!

Duck, Conor and myself had so much trouble getting into games of Black Ops we retired to Combat Training where admittedly we had lots of fun. One game we did get into was on launch where we were hammered like shiny new nails into plywood. Very quickly and with little apparent effort. Grrr.

Still, I had a game of TDM early in the evening on Havana and got the first kill with that grenade throw. Very satisfying!

I’ve said it before (maybe in my head, but probably in this video) but watching other players in the theater mode in Black Ops is enlightening.

Sometimes I’m outgunned but more often than not it’s because I rush around too much and I’m easy pickings for those with more patience. I’m no Pyropuncher, by a long shot.

So what should a level 9 Black Ops player do? My favourite weapon class is the assault rifle but I’ve only unlocked the Enfield so far. It can be effective but against higher level players I’m outgunned.

I need to play more defensively, I think.

I watched a game I played last night in which I went 6-13 on Jungle (it’s in my recent games list) and it was interesting seeing the highest scoring player play in Theater. He went around with a shotgun and played brilliantly. In one confrontation he jumped out of a hut flanking three enemy soldiers and took them all down. Later however he grabbed a sniper rifle and lay on the ground for a good 20 seconds with the scope on trained on one location. Guess who was unlucky enough to go (slowly and warily) around that corner? Yeah, I still recall thinking he must have been a little camping fecker to get that kill…

So what are your favourite assault loadouts? Duck was using the galil and that motion detector along with his RC car. I watched Mike use that motion detector too in a game of domination but I don’t know if I’ve unlocked it yet. I’m currently using the Enfield with extended mags with hardline, sleight of hand and ninja perks and my global KDR is 0.75.

What would you do?
