    i think everyone understands the methods, but i'm not sure anyone is particularly compelled by them (to be fair, you did claim to have 500 mvps earlier in the thread). how many kills and deaths do you have on each of the accounts? what's the play time? what's the k/d compared to your long term account? i don't doubt that you're capable of racking up nukes, or that you're very capable as a player, i'm more interested in the comparison.

    i've played a fair amount on both xbl and psn, and i would have to say that my scores are almost exactly the same. i think a decent way to compare the two is to compare the "total players online" stat that appears when you go to select a game. at 1:37 AM MST, there are 175,485 on psn. is anybody around to check for xbl?

    i have come to love the 360 controller, though, and might be interested in buying one when summer rolls around.

      I'm not sure how compelling they are either, to tell you the truth (junkie isn't happy unless he's claiming his team is the best, no matter what the sphere, so he can be ignored for the purposes of this discussion). play time, kills and deaths, etc are very close. Level is identical, I think, give or take a level. K/D on the alt xbox account is very close to my normal account. Neither the alt 360 account nor the ps3 account is anywhere near my normal account on the rest of the stats.

      One thing that may be a cause of the difference would be the newer maps. I didn't download them for ps3. Not sure how much of a difference that would make.

      I should note that, while I haven't played either alt account lately, my normal account k/d is going up quite a bit. I had a stretch where it declined for a couple of months but lately it has been skyrocketing. Not sure what that means - maybe I am getting better, maybe competition is getting worse. I have been playing lots of ground war lately, trying to pick up the last nukes.

      Speaking of nukes, the reason I'm racking them up now is that I gave up trying for them after #2. People on xbox were getting way to fast at shooting air support down and it was making it really difficult for me, as I was a chopper gunner guy. But that tapered off due to the collective action problem, and at the same time I learned how to use the AC-130 effectively. So that explains the recent streak - I always have it turned on now, but I didn't used to have it on at all.

      I got number 9 tonight with all the guys around. Game on Estate. Unlike the other nukes I've gotten, this one was my rush class (I almost did that before, but died one short). That class is silenced UMP, silenced Spas, marathon, lightweight and ninja (all pro). The team had a bunch of snipers, which is when I usually use my rush class. I got a quick seven, dropped my harrier, got to 11 and then hid and called it the AC. Got me to 23. I was sure I was going to die because a guy was heading for my hidey-hole (I was trying to take him out with my small cannons). Phat saved the day and took him out.

      But my UMP was out of ammo at that point. Got really lucky - one guy was camping and fired off a noob tube and appeared on my radar. I dropped off of a ledge, hit him with my spas, grabbed his gun, and used the last noob tube to kill some random dude with a lucky shot. There wasn't a whole lot of foreplay before I exploded, either, because I was pretty amped.

      Not so long as the PS3 is in my bedroom and my playing time is late (the missus will be sleeping). Especially not with my language lately, which has not been stellar.

        I can't remember if you've said it before, but is moving the PS3 not possible? I moved mine down into our home office, and it's much better.

        • Another nuke last night on Trailer Park playing domination with the XBL group.

          Also, I do not believe that you understand nic's gaming style. I'm not even sure he understands it to be honest. His game style is...evolving? But I will say that it is effective so he's doing something right.

            How many televisions do you think I have?

            The PS3 was purchased as a netflix/blueray machine for the missus, and that is overwhelmingly its primary use.

            • There were 211,000 in the tdm lobby alone last night. I would put total players well beyond 500k.

                You owe me for that nuke, just like I owe Phat for mine. I seriously killed three guys trying to come take you out.

                As to my style, I will let the string of nukes speak for itself. I have been having a blast lately, and my k/d has jumped up .05 - which is significant when you consider how many kills and deaths I already have. I think I'm averaging about a 4 to 1 ratio or better over the last two nights.

                • Your argument is officially 100% flawed if you did not download the newer maps. Basically you are stuck racking up kills against the causal gamers out there. Anybody that is good or has serious skill would have been quick to jump on the new maps.

                  Case in point I know a particular person on this board (who can't see this since he has me on ignore) whose stats have skyrocketed in the recent months because he is playing nothing but old maps with weak competition. When we would team up it was always so much easier until I realized it was because the dedicated gamers have the new maps.

                    Right now Sunday morning at 10am there are 415,640 total players online.

                      100% flawed? As opposed to 95% flawed? What does that even mean?

                      While it is certainly something to keep in mind, I think you are seeing this incorrectly. I did not download the maps on PS3 because I had a full extra month of practice on them and part of the trial period was when map pack 2 was just coming out. I didn't think that was fair - you'd expect me to better on maps I knew and others did not. It runs both ways.

                      Junkie, I appreciate that you are awfully concerned about this. You certainly appear to be spending a lot of time worrying about it, and I can understand how important it must be to you to not even appear to have a inferior competition than a guy you've never met in a virtual game we play against 13 year olds. Maybe your wife will demand a separate netflix machine too and you can run a counter experiment and implement whatever changes you want. Maybe you can get her one for Christmas if it's that important to you. I would be interested to hear what your stats - as opposed to your bluster - have to say. YMMV, but only if you actually drive the damn car.

                          I am concerned about it yet you are the one that went out and bought a PS3and bought the game just to perform your little experiment.

                          I guess I just do not understand how someone can say that competition is inferior on the PS3 when his longest killstreak is 20 yet on the Xbox he claims to be racking up nukes every other day. Then again you could be full of shit regarding the nukes and that would make more sense.

                            I don't have to but I will anyway. And it was Four bills if you include the TV. I can include the furniture too if it will help you with your indignation. I can also tell you I use wadded up cash to wipe my ass, but you'd probably not believe me. I mean, that paper is coarse!

                              Taking the time to look up the stats I see? Well, at least you can read those correctly. And it's not my fault if you can't understand. I really don't car if you do or not - your problem, not mine.

                                I am playing the game as we speak so yeah it took me a long time to look up the stats.

                                I do like the reading comprehension smack though, you and Solon are two peas in a pod.
