I wouldn't worry about that I'm pretty much always bottom anyway! The only time I do any good is FFA because the connections are much better as there are fewer players.

aw man ffa is hard. i doing pretty well the other day, i was 2nd and managed to get an care package, it was an ac130. i was all ready for the ownage when some guy killed me and took my ac130, i ended up coming 5th. 
said ac130 was used on me quite a few times as well

I don't even bother with the care package anymore, I either get killed waiting for it to land and then someone steals it or it lands on a roof or outside the map. Most of the time its a UAV or AMMO anyway and when its stolen or lands outside the map It's a Chopper Gunner ROFL.
Whoa, some scary good players out there
I suspect that was nothing to do wth being good. People just hide in set locations with a mate and one allows the other to kill him 25 times in a row. The fact he didn't use any of the other streak rewards is a bit of a giveaway IMHO. I could be wrong, but I've heard it happens and this seems a little too good to be true :\
Just had a game where this happened. One guy kept using tactical insertion and the other guy kept killing him. Game ended with a nuke. **** heads.

found a couple of people doing the same thing on one map hidden behind the crates - was a lot of fun waiting for them to arrive, throwing a stun and knifing them both - they really didn't learn and I got nearly 20 kills in a round just from the little group of 3 using tactical inserts - whats more fun is not destroying the insert but just placing a claymore next to it...
I must say that either I'm very lucky in my 17+ hours of online play or I'm blind but I don't seem to come across most of the complaints raised.
I've had a couple of riot shielders very early on and I was left thinking how the hell was I meant to beat them?! I tend to aim a grenade launcher shot just to the side of them which seems to work.
I have noticed more people sprinting around and knifing. Seems a fair enough tactic IMO and it feels sweet to tap them in the head just before they get in range.
There are too many callsigns though. Fewer more relevant ones would be better, I mean, "Drifter" what
I will fire off one complaint though and that is the bloody guitar riff everytime you complete a challenge or level up. Very off putting!
I have never been good at FPS's and there is no change now I am playing MW2 but I manage to hold my own at level 34 (i think) against mid level 40's. The game play does seem to suit me better than in WaW though and I end up higher up the score cards than I used to in that.
Reading this thread I think I will create a class with a stinger as my secondary but combine it with cold blooded as previously I was just getting destroyed whilst trying to lock on. I couldn't use it all the time though as I tend to eat through the ammo with my SCAR so I need a decent secondary

The riot shield class sounds like fun
Thats exactly what happens. They do it to get the challenge done and unlock the badge. A mate of mine says on more than once he's seen two mates covering a room together in FFA.
I am loving this game however I would like a quick rant in bullet point form
Things I dislike:
-dual shotties as a secondary
-the range of the 1887 shotgun
-random care packages
-the amount of killstreaks going on back to back
-the SMGs being fairly pointless due to guns like the ARC
-heartbeat sensor
-the way TKing is dealt with in hardcore
-no local search
-no control for music (i want it off in MP please, I'm an adult.....I decided I dont want it on....why cant I turn it off?)
Sometimes the game just feels so bloated full of novelty its sickening. Hardcore is always a welcome break though.
ahhh feel better now.

Setup my Witch class today. It is way to easy to run around knifing people, quite enjoyable but still way to easy, racked up 20+ kills each on both maps, although I did die equally as much. Got a few 4+ streaks! I think it will be tweaked in a update.
Mind you getting 75 pistol kills was quite frustrating but got there in the end! Getting all the extras with these crap weapons is destroying my K/D ratio

How do people engineer getting into the same game or opposing teams when all the competitive modes are done via matchmaking though?

'Join session in progress' doesnt automatically put you on the same team as the person you have joined
I do it all the time with Wyrdo. I start a FFA match and then invite him to the game. Or he joins session in progress, theoretically you could do this with a few mates and gang up on others until they leave.
Although when Wyrdo and I play we take most pleasure from killing each other rather than boosting!
Nothing is better than ruining one of his streaks by either having him walk on a claymore you have planted in the middle of nowhere or shooting hiom when he's on the laptop calling in a streak
Its actually challenging because he knows all my camping spots!
The other thing you notice when we competitively play each other is the lag. He joined a game with a worse connection to the host than me and it was comical. I could stand making minor corrections left and right and his bullets where going all over the place. I had time to think wtf is he mucking about, bring my sights up and kill him. I had loads of time. Yet on his screen he's hitting me but registering no hits.
I actually think IW made this P2P for a reason. They will offer it out now with dedicated servers subscription based. You wait and see. Take it away from the PC user and then offer it back with a monthly fee.
Makes sense!! I forgot about that function as I never use it (specifically because it can put you on the opposite team to your mates, whereas the boosters are specifically gambling on this happening!!).
Sounds like you are boosting as well, (joining the same game and going for each other is the same as what you described earlier on, especially if you know each other's favourite spots)

Agreed, I like joining opposing sides occasionally as it can be fun to play against your mates.
We should play private more often but the lure of ranking up is too great
Thats complete pap! Boosting means they are knowingly letting one kill the other. Actually hunting your friend and winning in a fair fight is not even close to boosting in fact your more likely to get less kills and more deaths.
Well to me 2 people ignoring other people and just killing each other, and knowing roughly where the other is hiding, sounds like a form of boosting (in FFA), but I don't care, people can play how they want, was just commenting on how I see the situation. Sounds like an ideal scenario to play private games with your mates if you want to do that (without ranking up).
