Hax

With MW3 and BF3 on the horizon I find myself playing much more often and cautiously. The goal is still 15th prestige so I can't afford to screw around. I consider myself to be an average player and find it amusing when idiots message me about camping or using noob weapons or running hax.

I love camping with the RPG if for no other reason than to be a dick. It used to be fun before but everyone does it now and it's become lame. IMO there is only one map that RPG camping works great on but even then it depends on lobby membership and comraderie.

In the last few months I've developed a new strategy for camping and that's with my knife. It works so well that in conjunction with normal knifing the 10,000 kill goal was easily attainable. I should have done this sooner instead of wasting time shooting people.

Noob weapons like the AK74 and RPG are my absolute favorites. Level 12 helps me to obtain level 17 and then I'm all set - AK74+RPG+Knife+Nade+Nova Gas. I don't care what your setup is or how you killed me so mind your own business.

Quake 1 was the first online game that I played and that was also my first experience with hax rhetoric. First time playing on an Artifact Rune Quake server I was called a bot. I remember it was E1M7 and I ran around the place like a madman out for blood. Obviously I took it as a compliment since it sounded like I must be good. :)

From then on I hadn't solicited any hax remarks until Quake 3 Excessive. If servers didn't run PunkBuster hax was prevalent and admins stupidly allowed it. If you were half way decent and beat someone who feigned deity status you had to be running hax. You were 10x more likely to be called hax offline than in an actual game since the community turned into forum warriors.

Since then XBL has generated its own share of grief, especially in BlackOps. Again it's the same bullshit if you beat someone who thinks the own. Give me a break! Why don't you learn to play. Better yet, understand the significance of lag on the game so you can tell the difference.

One of the worse ones I've ever had was from a fool suggesting I was using a boosting mod. WTF?!? Does something like that even exist and furthermore don't you need two or more people to boost?

ID10T!!

DRUNK

Console gaming seems to have a lot more whiners than PC. I admit that I complain a lot about lag but rarely if at all do I openly bitch about how bad my team is. Everyone is as good as they are on a particular map on a given day. So many variables can turn your owning into you getting owned.

In the few years I've been on XBL I've noticed most of the idiots are from the US and UK. Sometimes I feel the entire lobby gets punch drunk from the excess whine. Take a look at your self before you complain about someone else. Not everyone is into having competitive fun and I think most just want to have a good time.

Chill or beat it!

10K Knife Kills

Finally completed one of two goals before I put CODBO away. Got my 10,000th knife kill and waiting on 15th level prestige. Gonna be a tough one since we only play Pure but what the heck. Wish knifing had K/D ratios as well.

The Prestige

On previous versions I never saw the benefit of prestige classes. I understand the additional custom class slots are a big deal but the basic ones are enough for me. Pure has no perks or attachments so two or three variations of the AK74u, RPG, and nades are good.

There's something hilariously uncool about camping steps with an RPG. It's even more funny camping corners for a backstab. It's too bad there's really no benefit for accumulating weapons kills, etc. I think most players would be happy with something other than XP.

Failed RECON Nonsense

There seems to be a lot of failure in the area of recon. So if you've been feeling some amount of discomfort due to excessive reaming this may help relieve the pressure: 6T9 consists of the 6 most active members of UFA * 6T9 is all adults between 35 and 45 * 6T9 is full of ourselves since we know we're older than most of you * 6T9 loves to pwn after a long day of adult activities * 6T9 doesn't resort to cheating, period * 6T9 will incorporate all aspects of expected game play including camping, spamming, and noobing with any weapon we want * 6T9 welcomes the opportunity to kick your ass in pure/barebones * 6T9 gives credit (GG) when games are good and close * 6T9 could care less about how you play so don't complain about us * 6T9 is usually in party chat so deal with it * 6T9 has a lot more to add but feeling tired due to age. Nuff said. Enjoy gaming!

6T9 Scrimmage

It's been around 5 months of shit lag but CODBO gaming overall has been hella fun. We seem to be playing a lot better but still could use some improvement. If you play Barebones/Pure mode and are interested in a friendly match then 6T9 welcomes the challenges. Send an XBL message and we can work something out.

Pure

It's been several months since the last CODBO post. I was one of the last to leave the saftey of Combat Training only to get a new asshole torn in multiplayer. To me it was just way too much shit going on. This game offered lots of variation and I found something great in Pure - a hella more fun game mode that is defunt of perks and kill streaks.

If you're looking for the simplicity of the kill then Pure is for you. The lobbies seem to be getting a lot more busier nowadays. Come join the ranks... of the dead. We'll be waiting.

Enjoy!
