Any one else having small trouble adjusting to Vegas 2 after playing the original? I seem to have the most trouble aiming as it feels a lot more lose than Vegas 1. I've tried adjusting my settings but have had no success. I was doing alright last night at 4am, though. Seems it may take some getting used to.

Other than that, I'm digging it more now than I was the first day I played it. Still, it shouldn't be $60. I wouldn't go so far as to call it Vegas 2. It's basically an expansion pack. I'll wait until I can find it on sale to pick it up.

On a side note, my OCD really hates XP systems. I find myself wanting to play it just for the ACES. I think this game is laced with cocaine in that regard. I can't get enough of it (the ACES that is).

Yeah, the XP and A.C.E.S have my lips ashy and my neck itchy.

Every you get a head shot and you see the little "+3 Marksman Headshot" thing, that's what ACES are. The highest you can get is to level 20, and getting there nets you some bonus XP along the way as well as weapon unlocks.

There are three categories. QCB (Close quarters combat, why couldn't have been QCC?), Marksman (Long range kills, headshots, sniper kills, etc) and assault (killing enemies while blindfiring, killing through cover, grenage/explosive kills). It's rather addicting to see that little marker come up, but it's frustrating at the same type. D_Litch tends to steal my kills a lot, but that's because he's a whore. I think I got him back during our terrorist hunt session last night, though.

What will be nice is maxing all of them out so you don't have to worry about getting the ACES points, just XP. Though, it's going to take a long ass time to get to Elite. Wait a minute, I think Elektromagenta found a glitch and cheated his way to the rank.

Well I beat the story, single player on normal. No way I think I could get through it on realistic. Holy crud there are some tough spots. So I would like to go through on co-op if anyone wants a partner. I'm digging the game it has good play. I was doing T-hunt last night with my AI team we did ok on normal but Realistic is a pain in the you know where.

I'm down for some realistic co-op, but my schedule isn't very free.

No, where?

I hear ya - I just finished the story on normal, too, & had a couple guys help out during that time (which is awesome, btw). I don't know if I'd really want to go through it just to finish it on hard - is there an achievement or something?

I'd be willing to help you out, though. The problem I've seen is that when you rush things, that's when you get your butt killed; slow down, take cover, let them come to you - you live longer.

co-op is the best way to play this game, no matter what level of difficulty. I had a total blast playing with Brian the first night it came out. I just haven't had a chance to go back to finish it.

That was a great night in gaming history dude. I went through solo and beat the campaign on normal by myself. The part where you go alone is a pain in the butt, but far from impossible. I am looking for a realistic co-op partner if anyone is interested, but I will gladly finish up the campaign from where we left off bot. If you are online tonight, send me an invite and we can finish it up. From where we left off it should only be 2 hours max to finish it.

Finished the coop on realistic last night with Valentine. Don't know why but neither of us got the achievement. It was more fun doing the coop than when I did the campaign on normal alone. Not sure what you guys think, but this game has some hit detection problems in TH. Brad was dead & watching my screen. he saw me put almost a whole clip in a Terrorist last night, from close range, and then the terrorist shot me.

Yeah, Woodie... I had some similar issues last night. I assumed it was a lag issue, but I dunno.

I went through the T-hunts on realistic with some guys, it was fun. I still stink at this game, but it was a good time anyway. I need serious help with the grenade thing. I'll bounce them off anything available. The throwing animation is hilariously slow -- I think my delivery is slower than Andre Woodson's... I'll never get drafted. I've done a little bit of the campaign solo but I'm up for co-oping it with someone for sure.

I heard y'all talking about that (wood's comment), but I wasn't watching your screen at the time. I haven't had any problems with it, maybe it was just a small bug??

I cant stop playn team deathmatch, ha ha. I dont worry bout ranking up sence there's nothing better than the tar21 anyway so I have no reason to rank up. I try the new guns but just cant do as well with them. Plus I like finishing higher than someone with twice my rank. And whats with the guys that get like 19 kills and 18 deaths bragging. Sure you got 19 kills but you only gained your team 1 point because you gave them 18 deaths.... I dont know how they even die that many time unless they just run as fast as they can into the middle of the fight. What gun are you wanting to get killa?

I hear ya on that one. I never even run into that many people during a match. It amazes me that some of you guys have these 18-20 kill/death matches. You must be sprinting around. If I have 6 or 7 kills and stay even or positive, I've had a good match. Then there are those 1-9's...
