I just started playing Free For All and for some reason I'm awesome at it. Always get first or second. I feel like I'm not getting blatantly ripped off like I do in TDM. Maybe since there's not as many players per game my internet connection holds up better?
If Infinity Ward had used dedicated servers instead of having a matchmaking system where a host is picked, would everyone be on a more level playing field? I don't really understand how the whole connection system works.

It ticks me off that people still buddy up and use tactical insertion to boost their scores though. I've only run into that maybe 3 times in around 30 matches which isn't too bad. I just don't see how it's enjoyable doing that.

Yeah i've noticed i clean up almost every time on free for all, but my score varies a lot on the team game modes in which i only occasionally come in the top three. If my KDR is getting worse i just hop into a couple of FFA matches and get it good again.

oh yeah, there is a huge difference. whoever has host has no lag. his system tells the rest of the players where everyone is at a given time, so when he sees someone in-game, it's where they really are.
the other players usually have at least a quarter of a second delay on a good connection. so, if they see someone on their screen, it's actually where they were a quarter of a second ago. to them, it may look like they are shooting someone, but in relation to the enemy on the host's screen, they are actually shooting right behind the person.
if you have dedicated servers, connections times are generally better overall, and you can pick a server which is close to your location so that you get a good ping.
ping = time in milliseconds it takes for your system to send a packet to the host/server. multiplying your ping by two = the actually lag between where someone is on your screen and where the host/server is actually registering them.
so if you have 3 bars or 200 ping, you're looking at almost a half a second delay! that makes a huge difference in shooters like this.

im tired of getting ripped off by these losers, so i cut my losses and sold it before they come out with some more poorly designed maps and charge me 10 bucks a piece for them. i got little big planet instead.

Thanks, cleared a lot up for me.

overgrown is exactly the same, i even saw one guy doing that dumb glitch to get under the level that was in COD4. crash is the same layout, but it's a little bigger.
the new maps overall are awesome though. storm is epic for any kind of gun, and salvage is a really fun SMG map. bailout is a camper's wet dream, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

i'm really hating wasteland on MW2, derail is cool and so is terminal. god this game is incredibly addictive, i seem to get so frustrated playing it yet want to more and more 
still need to complete campaign too, it's just that multiplayer is so damn good.
oh and killing campers has become my personal mission every match, there's so much satisfaction to be gained from doing that

If your team's holding the tunnels you can man the gun emplacments outside and be a real pain in the ass. That's the thing with this game, everyone's trying to be as much of a pain as possible and if you're not one of the biggest arseholes out there it gets annoying,,, ..

Haha never thought of that. Sometimes what I just do is chuck into the tunnel a few flash bangs then charge with a spray of bullets lol. Are you on PSN, Mickey? If so, I'll add ya

15 whole dollars!?! WTF?
What kind of assholes would charge that ridiculous amount of cash for all their hard work? I think everything should be free and handed to me on a silver platter.

15 dollars is a lot for 3 new maps and 2 recycled maps. I'm sure they are gonna be coming out with 1 or 2 more DLC at least and ending up paying 90-105 dollars for a game is a bit steep. I don't mind paying for a DLC but it's lame when people just keep upping the price and if you keep paying for it soon it will be 20-25 dollars for a dlc.
