Heh, nice. I was #1 in FFA in WaW Kills/Score. I only peaked at #14 kills overall because it was honestly too hard to compete with people who started off playing HQ instead of FFA, since 95% of my time spent in WaW was in FFA. Getting dogs, rushing in and dying, then getting more dogs from your dogs in HQ is just waaaay too easy with a team of 6. You can just hold them and farm kills until they leave, then more people join the game and spawn into a pack of dogs, heh.

If I liked the game more I might have kept trying for leaderboard rank but I decided to buy the new WoW expansion, instead. Plus I accomplished what I set out to do, which was #1 in a gametype. You should tell your friends to add me when the next Treyarch game comes around :P

Haha I'll be sure to do that even though I don't play with them as much anymore. Do you have the same goals for leaderboards in MW2?

What do you mean? I'm assuming you are one of those that think Halo 3 is a newbie friendly version of Halo 2? However, that makes no sense seeing how Modern Warfare 2 looks to be dumb down even more. Not, saying it's a bad game, I'm going to get it and will have a blast playing it, but I can't seem to understand your logic here.

If I'm interpreting his post right, he's saying that unlike Halo 2 -> Halo 3, which a lot of MLG people consider a downgrade, CoD4 -> MW2 will be a competitive upgrade. I think he's saying that the game seems pretty awesome from what he's seen, though in all fairness I think most of the people who currently dislike Halo 3 thought that it looked great from the beta.

For real? That's pretty awesome. I'm assuming you will be playing mostly all HQ and that's pretty much all I play so if you want to add me feel free. VelociLobsta.

Ideally they'd reset the leaderboards around the time that people will be getting it in Europe, so around 7pm EST on Monday. What will probably end up happening is an early Monday reset and people who have the game early powering back through the ranks that day before the rest of us get it. Regardless, I'm gonna give it my best shot for a while. It'll be fun no matter how high I get on the leaderboards, but wish me luck :P

Leaving for the airport to go to Anaheim soon, so I'll be back Monday night.
