New MW2 playlist - barebones

Last night they added two new playlists, Objective Barebones Pro and Barebones Pro. These have no killstreaks. Objective is like mosh pit with game modes and barebones pro has TDM/FFA that rotate (easily to vote out FFA if the room wants too). The TDM/FFA is 8 person max, 4v4. Party chat is allowed too.

I played a bit last night in TDM/FFA and it was nice without killstreaks. More quiet and strategic. Actually used a SMG and had a lot of battles with others using SMG's, nice change of pace. You can easily hear commando's running like tards without aircraft in the air. Also, less spawn dieing to air support is nice, and overall seems to be better spawns.

Going to play more of this tonight I think but it could be a nice alternative to all the kids in the main rooms. No more chopper gunner care package crap and things like that either.

After playing this a few days, I definitely LOVE it, but there's issues.

1) FFA should be removed or added as its own playlist. People are boosting with ease right now in barebones pro. You can join with a PARTY of up to 8 and get FFA matches and have the room to yourselves. Usually with 4-5 you can have a room to yourself. I've caught multiple boosters so far when it's FFA.

2) There's match making issues. We had a team of 4 last night in my party and when the game mode to be played is TDM, NO one will join and fill up the next team. You HAVE to skip to FFA and get it going and HOPE people join, finish the game, and are around for the next time TDM shows up, which is 50/50 chance.

So in conclusion, their idea was good, but they failed (IW, big surprise). This can easily be fixed though with the removal of FFA and keeping it strictly TDM and fixing the match making (which I think is a product of FFA/TDM switching back and forth).

When it works though, seldom, its really fun without KSs. Shows you who is really good at shooting.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
