New to MP shooters.. need tips


Jigsaw

Recommended Posts

im pretty good at shooters online , not soo much with gears though. I think the best way to start right now would be modern warfare 2 or half life2 team deathmatch. Its easy and its fun.Sometimes it can be annoying when u die a cheap death with dirty campers, u should learn to deal with that :rolleyes:.

Guys... :rolleyes:

popped in my KZ2 disc and it has probably just what i need... bot-based mp. Almost as tough as playing against human opponents.

Played it for about 30 minutes... got some kills. Need to probably play this for a week or so to really "haath-saaf-karofy" on mp. I guess my problem is reaction time. Its like i see an enemy and even before i can aim the crosshair at the bugger, he's shot me thrice :( old age?? :D

Bots are crazy real in KZ2. Some of the stuff they do during objective based matches and the way they show their teamplay leaves you awestruck. But its a good way to practice you aim n movement, and get to know the map without compromising your stats. And nothing is more important than knowing your maps inside out. It'll always give you upper hand.

gramps, i just spoke to bikram on the phone regarding mw2. Was thinkin of picking up a used copy of Mw2 just for mp... guess not many folks play mw2 ps3 online much, do they?

You'll consistently get a lot of people to play with. I can vouch since even I have MW2 on the PS3.

@ ashish

beech :chair:

 

@gramps

played kz2 with similarly "ranked"? playas.... fun.... Had a fap moment when a enemy fumbled just the way i do when we both came face-to-face :rofl:

 

We both kept shooting wildly at each other at what was at best, a distance of 6-7 feet :D both forgot to reload... i somehow managed to scrape through to kill the dude just in the nick of time lolz. This one moment alone makes my 2800 bucks wasool for KZ2 :devil:

hehe yeah you'll see a lot of those. don't bother with the stats - just enjoy the game. you'll get better easily. for a really fun mp experience try out TF2 on steam - there are classes absolutely meant for the skill-less (i can't shoot). e.g. i can play a mean engineer in tf2 because i know the maps pretty well.

 

major noob tip - don't even dream of using a sniper in MP unless you're very very good. you'll do more harm for your team than good.

lol there are 350k - 600k ppl playing mw2 on psn daily at any point of time, way more than any other ps3 game.. so finding players won't be a problem.. but the matchmaking is broken, takes around 5-10 minutes to get into a working lobby..

It takes time because it goes through pings first, then tries to match levels. TF2 will run on nearly anything other than a netbook - it's old and cheap. Buy Orange Box - five superb games - off Steam.

Snipers in KZ2 :devil: Once you unlock him, you'll not want to go back to any other class.

yup.. before that stupid 1.01 update it used to start from 100ms ping.. (used to take 2mins max to get into a lobby) now it starts at 50ms :devil: and on my connection i usually get into a lobby 3mins after it reaches that 170 (or 150 idk) ms ping mark unless some indian lobby is searching for players :D

you can buy the orange box at retail for 699 i think, and it includes tf2. it will also link up to steam.

is MW2 ps3 worth getting now? or is it already too late? :)

Was doing some read-ups on it... sounds like its a lot more easier to "pick-up-n-play" than KZ2....

5-10 mins??? it takes hardly 1 min. Before the matchmaking update i was able to get into games in a few seconds.

Braced myself and played online today for a good 2 hours. Sucked at most things i did... but managed to snipe a couple of ( hopeless noobs like me). Also got my first ever melee kill (somehow).

 

You gotta see noobs play online.. was playing a squad deathmatch and one guy constantly was piggybacking with my teammate who i was spawning on..... after almost 10 mins i realised this third person has a red name over his head and from the enemy team.. shot him point blank in the face :chair:

Am beginning to have fun now..... :D
