Eh. It's possible, provided you throw it at someone who you already know is camping at a specific point, etc.
I mean, just yesterday I nailed a sniper who was in the upper window of the warehouse with the ZSU on Quarry from the area with all the explosive barrels using a throwing knife.
It's all about knowing beforehand, and plotting it out.
Yeah, if you know where the target is, and he isn't moving then its not too tough. Guy starts running around behind a building, and it get considerably more difficult.

Man, the campaign is difficult. Got stuck for ages on the first mission in Brazil because I couldn't see where I was being shot from. I also found out that I still suck at multiplayer, even more so than on MW1 on the PC.
Did anyone else find the airport massacre a bit disturbing? I know it's the huge plot hook, but I can see why it has an option to skip it.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I found the second Favela mission more difficult, was doing it on hardened. fething hard, the militia seem just to melt onto the rooftops and then out of random doorways and then jump behind cover whenever I try and smoke a few.
The airport bit was verging on distasteful. It didn't shock or disturb me or anything, it just was a rather stupid hook considering the large stigma many apply to airport security. There were some horrible parts in there as well - I remember a man slumped against the CD racks in one of the shops, and someone desperately trying to revive him, and then one of Makarov's buddies spreads their bodies across the wall with his MG4.

I was pretty shocked at the very start. I assumed that I was doing something for the Mafia or something like that, and then my allies opened fire.
The ending of that level was great though.

Was it just me or did the riot shield 'walls' just seem a little bit gakky? I lobbed one stun and then they all did a synchronised backwards roll and I emptied a clip into them.
Riot Shields are mean online! I need to learn how to use them, or at least how to take someone out who's got one. One a few of the maps - Terminal, some bits of Karachi, most of Invasion, and the alleys in Favela - they seem near unstoppable.

I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I couldn't see that the guys were holding riot shields. I was spraying my MG like mad wondering why they weren't dropping dead.
I think I'll stick to Halo 3 for online FPS gaming though, because CoD just doesn't float my boat online. To me, it's something good to play with friends.

Mod2 has a good campaign and everything, the special ops are great fun but on line it isnt as good as CoD4. There trying to get to technical and advanced now.

I love the riot shield. I naturally gravitate towards a play style founded on a blitz (in MW1 I got about 40% of my kills with the knife) approach, so its just a phenomenal weapon for me.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
My biggest complaint in regards to the riot shield is being unable to "hook on" to a teammate wielding one and get cover from him that way. It'd make my SCAR-H with grenade launcher far more effective in CQC styled maps.

It was a high altitude/low orbit detonation. There was no fallout or blast that damaged D.C., but there was the EMP burst that knocked out the East Coast. I'm guessing that when it detonated it was close enough to the ISS to smash it.
Makes sense, cheers. I was watching replays of "Second Sun" and couldn't work out the actual position of the blast - it looks like it's on the edge of the upmost cloud layer, but it just flummoxed me.
