Why would he take an assault rifle and a grenade launcher home?

I wonder if the laser cannons and rocket launchers will weigh it down too much???

Fuck it...do me a favor bcglorf...when you see a man standing in a dark alley don't bother to find out for yourself just listen to what the guy who sold you the gun says and Shoot the hell outa him. Hey maybe he has a gun ya know what you might need? A Rocket Launcher.

@blankfist, we already took away people's rights to nuclear weapons and rocket launchers decades ago, surely nobody will be allowed to own knives soon.

@blankfist well, that's what makes it opinion and not fact.

As for "fear-based politicking", are you saying all statements that evoke fear are bad in some way? For example, I know this guy who likes to post videos about how the Fed is going to destroy America with hyperinflation. Is he doing something wrong?

Setting that aside for a moment, I didn't come away feeling afraid about anything listening to this clip. Instead, I came away feeling sorrow about the thought that maybe something could have been done to at least lessen the scale of the damage that Loughtner did. I didn't hear a recounting of some dire and immediate threat to me in what he said, I heard a pretty scathing admonition that my own indifference on the topic might have contributed to the death of a nine year old girl. That stung a bit.

I haven't really felt like I cared about gun control as an issue since I was a teen. Even then, it was more about being contrarian with my right-wing friends at school than really giving a shit about it.

It's a topic I think is worth having a debate about again. I'm not thinking anything radical here, maybe just simply limiting the size of clips on semi-automatic weapons again.

Since you're something of an absolutist about these kinds of things, I'm happy to hash it out in terms of me simply supporting bans on private ownership of rocket launchers and nuclear weapons.

LOL @ "spud launcher" - Haha no, actually, thats's the M777 - That came after my time. I'm a vet of the good ol' M198.>> ^eric3579:

@MarineGunrock that spud launcher @2:08 look familiar?

Coming soon: guy distracted just as he pushes FIRE! button on beer launcher.

I dont get it.. this is exactly how I play cod.. take cover and let my pals eat up the lead.

Voodoo, its just a mini grenade launcher so I imagine it is light and functional only. My question was what was it shooting? I didn't hear any exploding grenades nore did I see any unusual amount of smoke.

Also where is the rest of it? I mean, of any type of skermish, this video shows all the boring parts.

Dang, no Lite version, I'd really like to try it! Are there any videos of gameplay anywhere I can view? I would honestly buy this just out of principle but I'm currently broke, a situation I hope to be able rectify in the coming months. I am a fan, visually at least, of anything done with Leg-err Mega Blok brick looking things with cute little blocky eyeballs.

Any possible links of what's in the pipeline for you? I play a metric buttload of games and would like to make good use of all that wasted time somehow by providing some constructive criticism.

App development is something I and a friend who knows his programming (he programmed a game server browser for the Mac, something akin to Gameranger called Adjoa Launcher) have talked about doing on and off for a few years now. He'd handle the majority of the technical stuff and I would provide my, ahem, "artistic" stylings.

Edit: I apologize Gwiz, upon further reflection I realize that that was inappropriate of me. I should've channeled that query through the proper channels and not shit all over your post. Your foray into game development had me feeling a bit over enthusiastic to the point where I made a pretty stupid netiquette blunder. Boy, I don't know which would make me feel more an ass now, you seeing or not seeing that.

ain't nothing but a party!
Did you see how many medals the band leader had? Finally a country that appreciates musicians!
Goose stepping with rocket launchers could be the latest cross-fit workout sweeping the nation.
Something tells me that country loves baconaisse.

@Matthu

There's quite a lot of advantages to them, let me list:

1 - Virtually latency free. It depends a lot on where you live but if you reside in say Australia, the average person has 0.5mbps to 1mbps upload if that. That is simply not something that can support 32, let alone the maximum 16 players in MW2. Where it does, you're looking at a ping of 100+, which makes the game feel noticeably imprecise and usually spiky. This is probably less of an issue on consoles since controllers are generally less responsive and lead to slower gameplay than with a mouse. If you don't believe me, google some youtube clips of a cross platform game and compare PC to console gameplay, it's really quite obvious. This is also likely why P2P matchmaking has always been fine on consoles.

2 - Competitive mods. The fact is MW1 was simply not balanced towards being a fair competitive game out of the box. Grenade launchers as an example are cheap, and not really counterable in any way shape or form. 3x nades, especially if used by a whole team and lobbed in particular locations for S&D makes the game Russian Roulette. That's not even getting into the atrocious gun balance or the ridiculousness of perks.

Even in MW1 which was comparatively pretty tame, in Team Deathmatch modes, easily 2/3, if not more of my kills would consistently be Air Strike/Chopper kills. The point is, IW made the game in the interest of appealing to the masses, making it easy to gain kills and generally allowing far too many ways to score cheap kills. MW2 took this 10 steps further. Which is why in the competitive scene on PC, MW2 is a shell of what MW1 was.

3 - Community - Like you said yourself, you can regularly play on the same server and get to know people over time. Without it, unless you /friend them straight away, there's a chance you'll never see them again.

As a game with good graphics, whiz-bang explosions and lots of action, honestly it delivers, but if you're looking for a game that rewards skill, and where half your deaths and kills weren't based on luck then you should really be looking elsewhere.

And yeah, like westy said in his usual incomprehensible way, it's hilarious to see Black Ops stealing ideas from PC.

Especially GunGame which as far as I know originated from a mod. You know, the feature they removed in MW2?

Oh sweet irony, which unfortunately will be lost on most.

>> ^dag:

I love how the muzzle of the rocket launcher is hexagonal. Low polygon count.


Hrm? They are like that.

Playing with newbs, of course...abusing and humiliating them, no. This guy is nothing more than a jackass. I wouldn't shed a tear if he was banned from battlenet. Not that they're likely to get that strict, more's the pity.

And don't call me Shirley.

All games are a little about playing with the nubs, surely?
Press F10 for Rocket Launcher
Alt+F4 for more resources
Press the windows key to win
Press the windows key and L to win more.
That kinda stuff.
It's all in good fun.
