The Pick 10 system is great- love how it gives you total control of your loadout. Perks and weapons attachments are more simple than in MW3. You do have to "purchase" them using unlock tokens as you level up.

I'm down with less grenade spam - in fact most of my loadouts don't have grenades so I can run extra perks using the wild cards. Another point is that some people may be running flack jacket.

I was on briefly Sat morning, but didn't get to play much after that.

BTW- Don't diss the pea-shooters. Word on the street is that the Semi-Machine Guns (PDW, MP7) are the way to go and that the Assault Rifles are under powered. You can do damage with a PDW with Laser sight.

I hate that laser sight attachment. Maybe I don't know how to use it. I love that reflex sight looking thing that is part of the heavy gunner preset. It puts a red x on all your possible targets. Assault rifle reloads is slow even with fasthands perk. I double clip on my weapons now. Lodeship scorestreak is insane. I always end up ending in death using the Death Machine scorestreak.

My must have wildcard is that overkill feature, gives me two primary weapons. I really miss that "Slight of Hands," perk in BlOps 1. I am happy they brought back bouncing betty's, I thought it's better than the claymores, although I think I still see it. One of my fav moves is have players chase me and I throw a bouncing betty in front of me and have them step on it. Explosion spam on that thing is pretty effective. It's pretty much has the same "**** off your opponent," effect as a drop/lob on someone or bouncing the ball 58 times before serving on the courts.

Happy also to see shotguns are alot better now. Don't see a point why we need reflex sights attachment with shotguns.

I put in 3 hours this weekend on Nuketown 2025. Got up to lvl 35 now. Double XP helping me out alot. btw, u got a friend request waiting on your xbox. I am playing this while running on my elliptical nowadays. I figure I'll juice my stat's first before going to other maps. Nuketown without crazy/insane/unreasonable grenade spam saddens me. No more free pts as I am one of those hated crazy grenade lobbers. =(

I got destoryed in MW3. I sold it on CL 3 days after released. I can't hang with the ppl there. I had a 0.33 kill rate. It was way too complicated and the maps were not very friendly

The place they live has 16 courts so I'm going to bring a couple of racquets but I want to bring them as carry ons.. flying AA out of BWI. I also need to bring my backpack w/ laptop etc so I can get some work done while down there.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi tennischem: no peeps for the past 2 months and now you tell us you are going to sunny and warm FL for a week of tennis! How could you?!
( btw, you got room for one more at your parent's place? =) )

Might want to check the policies of the airline you are on. Some carriers might let you bring a racket or two as carry on and some might not. Last few times I flew I packed a single racket into my backpack as carry-on with no problem.

So you are saying at one point she was into dudes, but is now no longer? I guess I trust you to confuse me.


Palin was smart at making herself a celebrity, and making her daughter a relevenat celebrity for like 2 motnhs. Sarah just didnt go full blown kardashian and have her daughter release a sex tape with a 2d rate rapper to reach superstardom status.

Tahts and Bristol doesnt have a huge booty and big fake boobs. Bristol is not Condy type, but you can bet Condy sees kim in that those tight dresses and think to herseld "if I only had some time alone with her I would totally take a crack at that"

But I have enver seen Condy wear a WNBA jersey before so she could very well hetero just not wanting to pump out kids and stuff.

Never tried rackets before, but I tried to carry on a couple baseball bats I had bought at the Louisville Slugger factory. They made me check the baggage and didnt let me carry them on flight.

It depends if they see it as a weapon or not I guess. most people dont think of rackets as weapons. But you carry a 36 inch 42 ounce Honus Wagner bat you gotta check that.

[downs_chris]

if you put 1 or 2 racquets in a backpack, with the handle sticking out, it shouldn't be an issue...i've done it before...

although, i've been stopped with my 12 pack bag trying to get on the plane...and they made me check it (too big)...

Laser sight is a great perk for increasing accuracy for hip fire. It can give you the jump on someone still trying to aim down the sites.

I'm sort of Meh on the target finder. I thought it would be awesome but I just find that it clutters my sight and I"m usually faster aiming without it. Only tried it on the SMG, maybe it's better with the AR or MGs.

I Hate... HATE bouncing bettys! It's harder to pick them out. I can usually avoid the claymores.

Haven't tried the shot guns yet. Maybe I should, seem like they are always a one-hit kill.

I accepted your friend request last night. I"m only up to level 22, didn't get to do much of the double XP weekend. Still it's pretty fun for the most part. I still prefer Battlefield though. Can't wait for BF4. Probably going to pick up the BF3 Aftermath expansion too.

IMHO, prob easier to swing a racket than a bat on a plane.

Wed is bad. I am hedging Fed Govt will let us poor federal employees out early and I can go get the ingredients for thanksgiving else I'll be the turkey on Thursday. Can we do next week?

[tennismonkey]

downs - i had a worse season than last year. i'll be playing senior league 4.0 for the rest of my tennis career. and at some point i'll be doing my best to hang onto my 4.0 skillz by slicing and junking it up. oh yeah. too late.

anyone know the best way to cook a turkey for thanksgiving? fried? microwaved? george foremanned?

[tennismonkey]

next week CB and wookie. DC. either a food truck or location TBD. done.

depends what you are looking for? I've been brining turkeys since I started doing thanksgiving turkey's for the past 10+ years.

I want to try deep frying but I won't know what to do with all the peanut oil after the frying. The oil will have alot of game smell, only thing I can do is other turkey's or seafood. But I have had deep fried turkeys. And what folks said is true, deep fried anything is always 10x better tasting than anything cooked otherwise.

[tennismonkey]

CB -- frying IS delicious. but it also seems like a major hassle. i think we are going with brining on wednesday and regular old turkey in the oven thursday.

Do you have a brine recipe? If not, plenty on the web. I like Alton Brown's recipe. I've even did this which was pretty good. Use Apple Juice and Water and dial down the sugar for the brine. Helps to make the skin GBD (golden brown and delicious) and has a good apple taste too.

[tennismonkey]

CB -- i like alton brown too. he makes cooking seem like chemistry which is oddly kinda cool. i will suggest to the women folk apple juice and water. my plans on thursday involve me sitting in front of a big tv and watching the woeful redskins hopefully take out the equally woeful cowboys.
