Am I the only one that hates TDM this year? The constant spawn flips and camping has finally gotten to me. Then with the shotguns being ridiculous has made it borderline unplayable, not because i'm bad but because its too annoying to put up with the constant spam

Those back to back Redwood games were a special kind of poo poo, even for me. Though the first one I went something like 23-9 and the second more like 11-14.

That's what made me mad. That first game, we all did really well in spite of the lag. Same map and same teams and we were getting our asses handed the second time around.

It's not the game mode that it flips so much ( it's rkid :ssh: ); it is entirely possible to spawn trap in TDM if you can restrain your desire to Always Be Rushing.

It also helps if you point a sentry gun at a spawn side, to force the enemy to spawn in the other.

Sorry for bailing at the end... that round was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, and I suddenly had absolutely no desire to play anymore tonight...

Everything's fine.

Nothing to see here.
flipping spawns is only an issue unit you start using call outs/minimap to predict where people will spawn next. once you understand the maps, how far you can push before flipping, and that when people aren't where you think they SHOULD be things probably have flipped then you'll get real good real quick

I realise no-one here will really care but I just hit Prestige Master and I'm super happy about that!

I never managed to get more than 2 or 3 Prestiges in any other Call of Duty game, something about this one captured me and I'm much better at it than the others. Any of you who used to play with me on Xbox 360 know how terrible I was. I know I'm nowhere near as good as a lot of the posters here but it's a victory for me.

I'm also very close to gettting Dark Matter camo too. I like being okay at a CoD game now :unsmith:

Whoa whoa whoa, I was the one trying to snipe. It's only when I realize the other team is not going to go down quietly that I say gently caress it and start running around like an idiot.

Yeah, TDM is pretty bad in this game. They nerfed the gently caress out of EMP grenades so its hard to get any extra points besides shooting down the occasional UAV.

That's definitely possible if you just play Chaos Moshpit 24/7. Being really good helps as well.

i keep flipping on this (lol) but honestly i dont think i do hate the new spawn system? like macys says its actually really predictable and open to manipulation. i think part of the issue some people have is that certain types of player will run around flipping spawns all day and that can get people who are less movement orientated trapped.

the other part of the issue is that the people who go around flipping spawns are clueless pubbies and high k/d goons :v:

The only reason goons don't like Dom this time around is because everyone is a hyperactive idiot now flipping spawns faster than Macys getting angry about racist emblems. Holding two points and farming kills while inflating your SPM and ego is cool and good but no one wants to play it that slow anymore.

Also the crossbow is awesome when you dual wield it. Got a ton of kills with it in the last games. Also funny to see pubbies pick up the crossbow and try to use it because they haven't unlocked it themselves.
