Today's featured vid is Ronin6337 taking out an elevator glitcher on Derail. It takes him a couple of tries, but he gets the cheating douchebag. Bravo, dude! Second vid is xGoldenx7 massacring the enemy with the Chopper Gunner on a Ground War match on Crash. He says the killstreaks are overpowered, especially the Chopper Gunner. I think it's the enemy team's fault for letting him run up an 11-kill streak, no one having an anti-air class, and no one having cold-blooded. On a hardcore match, it's difficult for the Chopper Gunner to be overpowered because more players have an anti-air class and almost everyone uses Cold-blooded. Also, it's harder for the Chopper Gunner to dominate because you can't spray the map indiscriminately without blasting friendlies. What do you guys think? On to the links:

I couldn't agree with you more on the overpowered killstreak issue! I wish MW2 players would think of ways to avoid problems such as these in game rather than whining incessantly about it being a broken game.
Thanks for reading and commenting! No game is perfect, and there's no way to please every player. The same level of bitching happened in CoD4 and W@W, too.
