You can get FMJ kills by shooting through glass. That helps some people.
 
We must play totally differently. I get FMJ kills with the TAR all the time.

"I'm sure MW2 is perfectly balanced when everyone is fooling around doing their own thing, when things are just as they are... because they are - it's when you start to go a little in depth and into a little tactics that success of failure, IS pretty much pure chance. I've already explained why continually, you choose to ignore it. "
I ignored your example because it's obviously flawed. Replace "Spartan laser" with "stinger missile". Replace "support teammate" with "cover teammate". The tactics you described are inherit in EVERY FPS. Also, they really had no bearing on whether the game is balanced.

If I try to create a new guide (or in fact any modal window that pops up, like login), the video is still displayed on top of the form. This makes me creating a new guide impossible.

@crunchUK: Success or failure is pure chance? What game are you even playing?
 
I'm not going to be brought into a Halo vs MW2 debate, cause there's so little common ground it's pointless anyway.

Except of course i can do nothing at all about whether i live or die. I've been refraining from this for a while, but here's a halo counter example. The enemy has a banshee. I know this because i was either timing the spawn or someone called it out, i also know whether we have a laser or not, i therefore know whether to support the laser guy as best as i can until he sorts it, or to head to base and rustle up a missile pod/power drain/stickies to try and combat it.  Not only does this have strategic elements where a similar situation in MW2 doesn't, but i actually get to fight back, equals more fun, more depth, and therefore more lonegvity, quality, and everything else. "

Halo and MW2... apple and oranges. They're both fruit, that's about it.
 
It's funny too because what you just described is more thought than most people put into MW2. Doesn't mean though that you can't think to that level in MW2.

"Look at it this way, when a player becomes very, very good at what he does, say.. split-second snipe (quickly zoom through the scope and fire, must have painted crosshair on screen), knows the map well, knife stacking, etc. Their victims find it frustrating and start to complain; "omg this game is rigged/unbalanced". "
That's pretty much what I'm saying.

@Fosssil:  You are definately not hampering my enjoyment of the game. You are however greatly increasing my enjoyment of this thread.
 
In regards to your first paragraph: I agree. I do not believe killstreaks make the game imbalanced (especially since they're easy for either team to achieve). However the "slipper slope" idea holds true. Should the enemy gain a killstreak advantage, it's nearly always in the best interest of the other team to deal with it together, otherwise the slope gets worse.
 
To your second paragraph: I typically play TDM, so be default I have those goggles on. I have different feelings frequently when talking about objective based games since you know so much more about what could/should happen in the near future (where they could be going, where they're camping etc.) All the more reason to get your own killstreaks. They are after all equally available. 
 
On the third paragraph: Killcam overall I feel is a good addition. I've been shot from some insanely obscure and nearly invisible places. I can't even imagine how much harder the game would be for noobs without it. There would be almost no way to learn the map's tricks. As for knowing where a run and gun guy is going... that's part of the killer needing to become a smarter player. I frequently throw the grenade to where I think they're going. And when I'm doing the killing, I make an effort to just change directions so as not to become predictable.

@crunchUK:  I'm not saying camping specifically, though it's one of many options. And you don't have to die first, but you have to live with your decisions. Sometimes you're just going to die. Sometimes you're going to lose bad. Doesn't mean there's no balance.

Nothings up with the UMP. It's good, not great.
