...otherwise known as me trying to play Call of Duty online.
I don't play computer games much (other than Football Manager and that game where I type porn stars names into search engines) but I did manage to complete Call of Duty:Modern warfare, so I thought I'd be OK in entering the world of online shooting games.
Jesus christ, I only managed to kill one other person, and even that was an accident, because he sort of just ran into where I was firing when I was testing my gun. The rest of the time I'd only be back to life for about five seconds, before some fucking geeky acne-ridden virgin would charge up behind me and send me crashing to the ground for the umpteenth time that minute.
I couldn't even work out whose side I was supposed to be on, as all the blokes just looked the same to me, so I'd be peering at the screen trying to differentiate friend from foe, like some old man squinting through his reading glasses. It would only take half a second's hesitation though, before whoever I was looking at would just take me out by shooting me through the eyeball from a distance of 5,000 metres, probbaly whilst blindfolded.
Well, fuck that for a game of tiddlywinks.
Anyone for pac-man?

nice.
I fucking hated online shooter games. Two of my three flatmates in first year halls at uni were computer scientists and were always hooked up to eachother and shooting people. I just went to the pub.

my daughetr beats me on the star wars game on playstation, I normally get "public enemy" - killing most of your own side. The lads just laugh most of the timeas I use the controller like a steering wheel, shouting go that way, use that weapon, change your secondary bomb, etc etc. I can just about see wehat's on the screnn without looking at the buttons, I can run and shoot and taht's about it

You went on to modern warfare after the game had been out for almost 2 years, it's great fun with mates online, for me I've got a lot of mates in various places around the country where I've moved around a bit, it's a good way to keep in touch and have a laugh still. I am one of those 10th level 55's you probably hate But yea every couple of nights putting a couple of hours in during my spare time obviously means that many like me are going to be good at it, some people on that game do take it too far though, they have like 120/130 days racked up on the game, and online it only counts your time actually in matches, so there will also have been more time spent on the menus etc. But, the one way to distinguish is almost always, one team is in soldier uniforms the other is in terrorist outfits, have a look at those around you when you get in a game, it helps you distinguish the difference a bit.

Depends how you play it to be honest, I tend to go for a thompson with a round drum, or a silenced type 100/STG because it allows you to get around behind them and take them out. If you prefer to keep a bit of range, then the STG with an sight/scope works. On world at war there is no stand-out gun that is suitable for all maps unfortunately, on CoD4 you could put on a p90 with a silencer and go to town.
It does depend largely on what type of player you are.

I'm crap at online shooter games.
I bought Halo 3, Gears of War & Gears of War 2 the other month to try out some serious Xbox Live action!
Halo 3 is well pants. I spend what seems like 10 mins poppin my opponent in the head & never dies. Then 1 shot to my foot & I'm dead & buried!

It's not you I've got on my friendlist then, but there is a stokiematt or something to that effect on my friendlist I think lol.
I usually just have a couple of hours a night with my mates more so now there's no football on tv and I can never find people doing the oatcake league online.
