sentry turret + pave low do not count towards your kill streak

the rest does.
even the harrier *after* the airstrike helps you to reach your next kill-streak, which is why I believe this perk is a must have... 7 kills -> not difficult to reach, once you have it you might get 2 or more kills out of it -> AC130/Chopper gunner -> ~10 kills or more possible -> nuke

I'm not sure if the predator missle will add kills however

I prefer Sleight of Hand over Scavenger because if i run out of ammo i pick up enemy's weapon, and faster ADS from pro saved my life many times.

well the ACR takes like ~2 seconds to reload and faster ADS doesn't really help with that weapon... and because I don't want to change my weapon which has, with no doubt the best accuracy I'll need scavanger

it allows you to spray into windows etc a lot more too
it's not really rare that I get 7 kills and ~5 from it were through a wall with the help of a UAV.

ACR is a reallybeautiful weapon, once you hit the enemy, it's impossible that ur other bullets will miss and it's impossible for the enemy to hit *you* because of it's high rate of fire. (his crosshair will literally jump to the skies)

picking up stun-grenades and semtex is nice too, especially when playing HQ


edit:
oh btw
killstreaks won't count towards your kill-counter if you get them -> die -> respawn and activate them

you have to use them in the same "life" if you wish them to count... however that's not always a good thing to do because it takes a while to activate some of them :P

yeah predator missiles count. my friend who gets nukes uses i think predator -> chopper gunner -> nuke. it's actually pretty common for him to get triple+ predator kills..

i go with attack helicopter -> chopper gunner -> nuke. but I've never gotten a nuke before v_v. sucks when you legitimately get a chopper gunner/ac130 but you get shot down :\

[Animeniax]

My secondary weapon is almost always a stinger launcher. I shoot down every helicopter and flying object that I can.

I don't have nuke unlocked because I don't think I'll ever achieve a 25 kill streak. My record is 22.

ACR is my favorite weapon. It's very accurate but only useful with stopping power as it kills in 2 or 3 shots. I tried using it without stopping power and couldn't score a single kill.

hey, 22 is better than mine at least ^^

lol, i shoot down everything i can too, and lately i've been trying to shoot down care package helicopters.

i've shot down a few, and yes they do count towards leveling cold-blooded, but they don't give you points. I think one of the ones i got i actually shot down before it dropped the crate <.<. but it's super hard to take them out...

i think if i went with a predator in stead of a nuke i'd get a chopper gunner every match i played <.<. but i really don't want to get up to that 25 killstreak at a time i don't have the nuke equipped :\. because i really wanna call one in >.<

i did the loner challenge (un-equip all your kill streaks, then get a 10 streak.), and at the time i actually got a 12 streak. i think if i had had my attack helicopter, and my chopper gunner on, i definitely could've gotten the nuke.. but that's just hopeful wishing of would could've been, really :\

I agree ACR has great accuracy but m16, also accurate but without auto-fire, with fmj hits hard through walls and 1 click is required to kill someone(from what i saw add stopping power with fmj and it works at normal modes too). Plus you can get acr from 80% of dead people so scavenger is useless imo.

ADS can save life if enemy have got any modded sight(Acog, holographic etc) and you have none - before even he starts to put his sight down he will be dead.

[Animeniax]

I never get used to the 3 round burst from the M16. I'm a pretty bad shot, so I spray a lot. If my weapon isn't auto-fire, I stop shooting and my prey kills me.

I'm liking hardcore TDM because you don't need stopping power in order to kill people. You can basically kill people with one or two shots because of the increased weapon damage in hardcore mode. Unfortunately since there is no radar, killing people through walls is almost impossible.

not really, there arn't that many people using ACR, there are so many different weapons... I rarely encounter people with the same weapon.

another problem is that (if you don't have scavanger) they have to use the same attachment as you do, if you wish to loot ammo.

and the really good thing about the scavanger-perk is that it provides extra magz

[Pandadice]

got my first nuke today ^^

also went to first prestige. like level 17 or something now :\. sucks losing all my junk, but i think it's worth it O_o

[Xelbair]

From what i saw about 50-60% people use ACR.
you went prestige? why? just for a mark near nickname? I'll stick to lvl 70(that is when i get those last 8 lvls)

[Pandadice]

well, though i don't really need the class slots, it's more for the titles i guess. you gotta prestige to get like over half of the titles in the game :\. and so i thought that was worth it.

[Xelbair]

New class slot? whoa - so now I have reason for prestige - I'm in desperate need for 1 or 2 class slots.
I've tried today UMP on hardcore and normal - in hardcore it is one of best weapons, but it is not so good in normal mode.

[Paulyboy]

ACR is a good weapon for me I really don't care what other ppl think, remember.....no russian.

[Animeniax]

ACR is too weak, it has one of the weakest damage powers of the assault rifles. Without stopping power and FMJ it takes a lot of shots to kill, unless you play hardcore and one or two shots can kill.

[Xelbair]

I've tried using chopper gunner to get nuke - I've got 25 killstreak with chopper gunner and no nuke - must be some kind of bug(yes it was in the same life i got chopper gunner, and no it was not from care package).

I've found another fun build for normal mode:

Vector for mobility and accuracy
Magnum with tactical knife for faster stabs
Marathon pro
Lightweight pro
Commando pro
throwing knife/claymore

Run as fast as you can and stab people to death - I've used this build to get the 25 killstreak.
oh and intervention with stoping power and fmj works great too on normal.

true, it's a pretty weak weapon without those, but it's probably the best *with* those.. it doesn't matter how far away they are, you can just click your left mouse button and u'll hit with every single bullet, no recoil ftw

and once you start hitting him, he has no way to fight back anyway
because it shoots faster than most other weapons (faster than SCAR for example)
it'll make you think you die with 1-2 hits from it. (latency)

[Psyke]

I thought this was pretty funny.

[Animeniax]

Haha that was pretty good. Took a while to unfold though.

If you'll notice, while this kid was goofing around with the messages his team was losing badly. I hate campers and snipers and I really hate camping snipers, but I've found in some modes you don't really have a choice. Particularly in hardcore, running around gets you killed too often.

[Xelbair]

nope it does not - you just have to think where to move(usually chrouching), ninja pro and cold blooded are your best friends there. Plus it is good to have heartbeat sensor there - but don't trust it in 100%.
Try moving from cover to cover and waiting few seconds to see if someone is coming to you, and of course headphones are must for hc.

[Animeniax]

Yes it does because most of your opponents are camping. After you die in hardcore, you have to spectate. You will see 4 out of 5 of your teammates are camping and guarding one approach. You can count on most of the other team doing the same. Doesn't matter how slow you move or how often you look behind you. UAV's are rare so cold-blooded only helps against heart-beat sensors, which I've found most people don't use.

[Xelbair]

cold blood does not guard against heartbeat, and its there to counter sentries, predators etc.
It also depends on map - underpass is camp-fest but, derial, yep its weird, is not - most people run from place to place with sniper rifle there, at least on pc.
and waiting does matter - after camping for some time campers in hc tend to move to another area - you can catch them then.

Sad thing that i wont be playing cod mw2 for 2 weeks - my graphic card is broken and it will be back approx in 2 weeks...

what are your opinions on IWnet? at first i liked it - swift joining, easy to use etc. but now i hate it for lags, problems when joining with party(5 minutes to find one damn match because for some weird reason party splits up? no thanks), cheaters(i've saw few of them - but still its annoying) and matchmaking sucks. The lack of response from IW about game hanging up fo 5 minutes at startup is also annoying. They wont get high sales for next CoD game unless the fix IWnet i think, and hope..
