It's silly how they all go for them, I've occasionally thrown them halfway across the map and they still get me kills. I don't run support anymore but when I did I used to deliberately throw them when someone was nearby, then get killed and shout down my headset " NOOOO HE'S STEALING MY OSPREY!!1" just to entice them all to crowd round
When I was playing Drop Zone with some randoms this guy on my team was trying to pick up a trap left behind from the previous drop zone so I quickly plugged in the mic to warn him. Booom! I was calling him a dumb ass just as his excuse for proceeding came through and it was that I didn't say it nicely enough 
Then he said the team was rubbish and left yeah right you had nowt to do with it hey.
I did some shotgun testing last night not entirely conclusive as it would need proving in a private match, but it seems to me that you need Specialist to get the max range from a shotgun.
You want to run Damage as a proficiency since it seems you don't get it on all perks, but you do earn Range. The Striker was more OP than I thought with Damage extra pellets and Range from Specialist.

haha I have to run with sitrep on else I just go boom a lot trying to steal all those exploding crates
I do think the same, it "might" be real........
Got a message on live earlier saying Elite membership will be extended another month. Rightfully so until you can actually level up clans!
Is that on top of the other month? I couldn't find that one, but I did get one saying I could trade in my Elite console plus £99 for a 360 S and game. I might just go for that.
EDIT: Ah I see it now it's a XBL console message, pretty unusual no mention of it anywhere else.

More than once I have hiden behind something for one reason or another and then can't get out. Worst one was game of domination on lockdown got stuch behind one of the cars in the middle by B. I could spin around but couldn't walk anywhere.
I don't get why people go for them either, if you come across a random care package with no on around you have to assume it is fake unless you have sit rep on. About the only time I will go for them is if I see someone call one in and wait for it then kill them as they try to collect it. Doesn't always work as people do act as they go to collect it even though it is fake. I can never work it out why people go for one when they see the enemy throw the smoke for it and run off.
Battlefield takes the biscuit for getting stuck and one of the rarer hacks I saw in Modern Warfare was one where if you touched some of the vertical surfaces you were stuck for 5 or so seconds. It wasn't rubber banding.

I always try to trigger them and run off. I haven't managed it yet.
Ballistc vests will let you survive a trap explosion.

WTH! That looks terrible or do you like in the sticks somewhere? Just tested mine for comparison I got 10ms pin, 19.5 Mb down and 0.9Mb up. Then again server is under 50miles for me.

My entire line gets shaped until 12AM then the down speed shoots up and the ping drops like a stone. I contacted my isp and basically told them they are having a laugh fobbing me off by asking to do traceroutes.
Soooo I did the traceroutes to a load of xxx sites and sent them the details
Joeboi I am stuck with crappy BT Wholesale without a hope of getting any sort of LLUing going on in my exchanges and certainly no hope of BTinfinity or virgin coming here anytime soon
But I have to be honest my line used to be (even though its adslmax) damn good for ping and solid connection.
If it drops under half a meg then it will get refused by XBL lol

Has someone stolen the copper and replaced it with wet string? 
Trying the MK46 out on Specialist where I can. It doesn't seem too bad 140ms close 210ms far.
I was on Tiscali once not by choice though I was on Nildram a great ISP in its day who where bought out and downgraded by Pipex then Tiscali bought them out so I jumped on to Be*

Oh dear, that is something else. That shows how terrible this game is on a whole new level. Rushed and banged out for the yearly billion.
Without doubt the worst cod since 3. He is wrong though, people will still lap this **** up because it's usually so easy and quick to get a game.
