So, after just 5 days, i say again, F-I-V-E days after its release, im on the muliplayer...and already there are 2 star general ranked players prancing around on the field. I dont know whether to be in awe of them...or just disgusted with the lack of life they possess! I mean, I play the MP for all of just a couple of hours at the most a day...but im nowhere near getting Captain's pay...!

Anyways, so far, the MP connections for the games are quite decent, except for the occasions when the iW system picks a shit host with shit connection. Then u get warp speed movement as well as excerpts from the Portal game. One moment hes there, the next hes not! Honestly, the game setup isnt half as bad, but they need to at least allow more players in the maps. 6 v 6 is terribly puny for the large, multilayered maps like the snow map for example. On the smaller maps, this does help to have a very fluid battle that moves around, since players tend to move in groups, probably since most are new to the maps. Which is a GOOD thing actually, since it makes more tactical sense. The good teams which win rounds tend to have some semblance of teamwork, or at least they are all shooting in the SAME direction!

Other than that, i think the coolest killstreak reward is the Heli gunner. Screw that AC130 shit, the heli gunner has a faster rate of fire, better distance to range screen size and is easier to kill enemies. I managed to get lucky with a gunner care package and racked up a 15 kill streak with just that one time in the gunner's seat! Its so damn fun...!

Anyways, share your favourite weapon loadouts with the respective perks that you think work great! I'd be interested to try some new variations. My two current fav loadouts are:

Med - long range: SCAR + FMJ + Holosight
Throwing knife + Stun gren
- Bling pro
- Stopping power pro
- Scrambler pro

CQB - Med range: Vector Kriss + FMJ + Holosight (Love this damn little gun!)
Throwing knife + flash gren
- Bling pro
- Stopping power pro
- Steady Aim pro

Prefer to run and gun than snipe and shoot from afar...too much tension and time consuming. Besides, I suck at sniping... Has anyone encountered Major Bummer yet?
