We wish you another happy Happy Mondays Monday, Internet. Go forth and say stuff. Black Grape is also an acceptable form of celebration.

  That is pretty damn neat. I always did sort of like reading about/discovering features of a game engine that aren't usually important but could actually be useful.

    Exploding shit has been infinitely useful in MP for me. For instance, on High Rise, when some jerk gets on top of the elevator building trying to snipe, i just shoot the gas tank there until it explodes, killing him. =)

    it still drops the package, though. unless you're really quick and know where it's coming from.

  I've yet to get this game, because of my disgust for it. But I've always wanted an FPS that allowed funny physics kills. This video tempts me.

      Yes, No ded servers and I always disliked the 'copter' or 'airstrike' spamming due to the kills made by those perks contributed to the next perk, and they didn't do anything to fix this in COD:W@W or this game from what I've read.

        Uhm - anyone / everyone can shoot down nearly all of the call in options. And their are perks that may you invisible to these as well.
        
        Additionally - care packages do not affect your kill streak, so the "spamming" that you describe doesn't really exist.

        The fun in it ended pretty quickly for me. I got about 4 days of play time before I got bored with everything it had to offer. I'm back onto L4D now. (Hai Dedicated Servers!)

        4 days of logged time, or 4 days from release?
        
        If you have 4 days of play time, 96 hours is not 'quick'

        I got a total of 26 hours in game. I think about 12 of that is just idling with it open though. I do that a lot.

        FWIW they changed how it worked a bit since W@W. If you get an airstrike, that'll only contribute to your current killstreak in your current life.
        
        In W@W you could use UAV to get to artillery to get to dogs, and then when you died you could use the dogs to get back up there again.
        
        In MW2 it only works in your current life. Additionally, care package perks don't add to your streak.

      Well, if you set off an EMP, the guy with the nuke can't call it in until the EMP wears off. But once it wears off, you're getting nuked.

        unless they manage to time the EMP perfectly with the end of the game.
        
        Even that would be incredibly rare, I dont know anyone who actively keeps the EMP in their KSR setup.

      Most of the stuff I see is from 360, which is where I would probably be capping from. I see a lot of stuff recommending the dazzle devices, I just cant believe something that cheap would output a decent quality
