Thursday Night Throwdown 6/10: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence

I have to work and always miss these things why not save them so we can all watch?

Hope those guys who played for over 30 minutes enjoyed themselves :/

The mortality of the Kombat.

Awesome ending! :D

It's always great to tune in expecting the end of a long, frustrating night of MW2 and end up with UMK3. Good stuff. Now that I'm sort of into fighting games, I'm hype for MK9.

Seeing Jeff break out his Stryker was pretty rad.

I got owned by Jeff :P

Jeff shot me in the face...
 
now i can die happy in real life

Guessing the maps like carnival were deleted scenes from the original game so they just have to tweak the levels for just MP maps instead of single player.

Stryker punches funny.

Is there any way to see the banner for this now that it's over? I was asleep while this was going on...

Had MW2 but didn't want pay for over priced map pack.

This was the first TNT I was actually able to watch live.  
 
It did not disappoint.

its the same format as the first map pack. 3 new maps and 2 classics from cod4.  i didn't watch tnt but i can imagine giant bomb isn't that good at this game.  top assault rifles are acr, tar, scar.  the ump is the best smg.  secondary are dominated by the spas shotgun and the single/dual rafficas. cold blooded pro and ninja pro perks are pretty much a must playing online in this game. the first perk is up to you. i usually use marathon pro.     outside of that most run with the 5-7-9 killstreaks.

" Haha, seriously Matty boy? Deadly Premonition joke spoilers still warrant a kick soooo far after the fucking ER is over? Brilliant job, man. "

Brad, you know, you are the last guy using the Doom demon - that was you (BradxOR)

i play on ps3. did i just see a ladder on strike in that one building?! 

 TNT is lame.

i thought Jeff and them would be talking shit to Giantbomb community players and rivaling against them and private chatting with some of them, asking them how they're so fucking good at Modern Warfare 2 and what their favorite part of Giantbomb.com is and randomly givin away a Giantbomb T-shirt to whoever kills Jeff first and callin out to the rest of the members to team up against the best player, and other groovy people-stuff like that.  

but all TNT is, is Jeff playing the game in a regular ass way, with a bunch of regular ass dudes standin around talkin about regular ass things.

like, what's the point to even trying to get invited to a TNT game if its just gonna be a regular ass game session you can have anywhere else? but its free so why complain right? Matt asking random ass chat questions was cool, i'll give em that.

Bah, I missed the original banner. :(

Gotta ask... what's up with MattBodega? Is he ok? It seems like he's trying very, very hard.

" @Duckbutter: Do you really believe that Jeff wants to private chat with a random person from the internet? No. "

I think the main thing that disappointed me about this particular TNT is that the guys went really off-topic for extended periods of time. I like it when they talk about what happens on the screen, take questions from the chat, or talk about the actual game (like Red Dead Redemption last week). But last night, they seemed much more content discussing all sorts of unrelated stuff like Dreamcast games. Those sort of things felt out of place on a stream about Modern Warfare 2.

I enjoyed the talking (lots of topics, was kinda like bombcast) but I couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the playing. And I don't mean to say the playing was bad, it's this particular game that was boring to watch.

For all those who, like me, missed the original banner ad:

 Maybe they should announce they're gonna use a different account and invite friends from the GBTNT account, because some of us have our Online privacy set to friends only :(

I think that would be going too far....but, I think it would be nice if, ya know, they actually answered some questions and let community have some input. Which was the point of this thing. As it is now, its just an extended quick look. "

This TNT has inspired me to give my speed demon Modern Warfare 2 ways a little break. They weren't doing it for me anymore anyways.

they ain't random people on the internet, they're Giantbomb users. do you see any freaks in the comment section? Giantbomb users are almost as awesome as me and if Jeff does encounter a freak, he can cut him or her right the fuck off. it ain't hard. and it ain't hard to talk to a user for 45 seconds.  i'm just sayin TNT is a missed opportunity. a video game site that plays a video game with its loyal fans? that should be awesome! instead its some dudes standin around ignoring the game and talkin about old ass games like its a Golden Girls episode or somethin.
