In MW2 the single player is a good intro but some of the controls might be different. Multiplayer always has a learning curve. You might wanna try one of the public game modes where they get rid of the kill streaks or give you the most basic kill streaks.

Black Ops has a multiplayer mode where you can play with AI bots and you can adjust their intelligence. You can play alone or with friends. Its great for figuring things out in objective based games or as an intro to the multiplayer game.

I either sold BO or let a friend borrow it because I can't find it. I do have MW2 though. ...not that it matters because I can't find time to play anything but half-asleep football lately anyway. Fuuck.

You need more cocaine. It will keep you going for hours.

you always need more cocaine.

No one ever says "I need less cocaine."

that's because I'm wearing camo bitch. YOU CAN'T SEE ME!

Ask Slider's mom, she will tell you how long it is.

i love padding stats.

Curiously enough, I just wrote a short memoir about how 8-year-old me ground up Smarties into powder one afternoon and tried to snort it like cocaine.

Ten year old me did that post halooween with a neighbor.

And I thought I was the only one!! The Smartiecaine Brotherhood. That is totally the name of our future EASHL hockey team.

DIGI!!!!! We miss ya brother.

You are from from the only one. I've had friends of various ages confessto trying this with smarties, fun dip and those cigarette candies that aren't sold anymore

Snorting something that is already a powder just seemed so prosaic. Here I thought I was far more innovative by grinding up a solid candy. Man.

Watching that video, I don't recall being able to modify my Warhawk character so dramatically.

How much is all of the MW2 DLC? And the BO DLC?

Some basic tips:
-Map knowlege is map power. know the choke points and the camp points. pay attention on a map to see where the action is happening at.
-find a weapon that suits you and know its capabilities
-stick to the outside of the map. Make a conscious effort to have your back to at least one of the map’s boundaries at all times moving with caution until you have a good understanding of the most traveled routes and where the opposition typically sets up traps.
- Once action gets underway you don't have to sprint
- Don't run out into the middle of the map
-Don’t look for the revenge kill. One of the easiest things for your opposition to do is predict that you will be coming back for the revenge kill after they have killed you once or twice.
-When going around corners raise your weapon - this alone can win you lots of gun battles
-Use dumb Teammates – im pub matches be selfish and use them to your advantage. If you are next to a guy that is running in with reckless abandon, let him be your shield to flush out the guy on the other team. Also know that if they are in a bunch, then the enemy team knows where they are and therefore knows where you are.
-play with your settings. adjust your stick sensitivity. use the default button settings to be more of a knife player. Try the tactical button settings to win more gunfights and use dropshots.

MW2 -15 dollars for 5 multiplayer maps per map pack. 2 map packs in total. I think everyone has both of them.
Black Ops - 15 dollars for 4 multiplayer maps and 1 Zombie map. 3 map packs in total (there is a fourth but it only contains Zombie maps). Everyone has the First Strike pack. a majority have Escalation. Annihilation is owned by most but not all of us.

Like most junkies it was about the ritual of the drug's preparation, not just the drug itself.

Count me as a member too.

The Smartiecaine Brotherhood it shall be then

Modern Warfare 2 is infinitely better than Black Ops, in my opinion.

There's this candy store that my wife likes to go to out in the boonies where you can still buy candy cigarettes.

Thinking you should check the expiration date.

And I never thought about it as a kid, but what an aggregious product!

Better multiplayer yes. But black ops is easier to set up custom matches.

It's easy to set up custom classes, but I'd easily forfeit that for the better gameplay. Also, Mike Myers and Zombies work soooo much better in MW2 than they do in BO.

My enjoyment of MW2 has gone down tremendously now that 1 out of every 3-5 pub lobbies is a hacked lobby. It would make it more difficult for a new player to get a feel for the game while getting some unlocks out of the way. With BO and the custom private matches they wouldn't even have to play pub matches if they didn't want to for unlocks, etc.

Oh, yeah. I forgot you have to unlock everything in MW2 in order to use all the weapons in private lobbies. That's a damn shame. I still prefer MW3 to Black Ops, but I know I'm alone there. If you get one, Chess, it should be Black Ops. That way you'll never have to play a public match, but still get to use all of the weapons and unlocks in the private matches with us.
