RANDALL

I'm sorry to complain so much, but I just think Hardwired was fine as it was. Not being able to defrost at range when you're one of the last ones left is very frustrating. I was the last person left on my team yesterday and I could see a teammate across the map, but I was emp'd and couldn't defrost or use my car. Having to wait 30 seconds for the emp to wear off seems a bit long. I like the Tactical mask perk, and I've always wished it could prevent being emp'd, just like it prevents the other secondary nade effects.

I noticed that one of the changes made to the MW2 server was making the Hardwired perk way too overpowered. It already protects you from RC-XD cars, allows you to eavesdrop enemy voice chat, and prevent you from being emp'd. All that is fine, but the change affects when you don't use it. If you don't use it, and you get emp'd, you cannot defrost people far away, only by direct body contact. Meanwhile, perks like Stopping Power are useless. Armor Piercing pierces armor and has what Stopping Power should do. I can rant on about other perks, like how Hunter Killer and Stealth are both Perk 3 (RIP Stealth Snipers), but that's a different argument. Hardwired is broken. I do like the increased spawn protection in Combat Medic though. Rant over.

A homeless man in a wheelchair was beaten to death recently in the town next to mine. Police have not found who did it. At church this Sunday a man spoke about him. He said he never bothered anyone, and a woman even said he looked out for a young disabled girl that he lived near. He would stop by the thrift store affiliated with my church, just to get warm for a few minutes and maybe have a cup of coffee. The man at my church always made sure he had clean clothes and food if he wanted it. This homeless man cared about the people in his town, and could only be described as an Angel. He went by the name "Buttons." Rest in Peace, Buttons. You leave a sad world, but enter a great one above.

He is in my prayers. You and your family too. May God bless him.

The 8-killstreak B-2 Spirit does not work on two maps in the current MW2 rotation: mp_hhk_sandman and mp_brokenroad. The B-2 flies over the map but does not drop any bombs. It's my favorite killstreak and I found this out the hard way. If there is any way to fix it, I would appreciate it.

You are what you say you are, a superstar!

My prayers go out to her, you, and your family.

Happy Birthday, Sally! Have a wonderful day!

From one idiot to another, Congratulations and Welcome to >XI< !

Happy Belated Birthday, Wild Penguin! Cheers to many more!

Happy Birthday! Cheers to many more!

A few of us in the server got kicked for this reason: CL_SetGameTime: !cl->snap.valid I have no idea what that is. (Commence Hacker Accusations)

Happy Birthday, Giggles! Cheers to many more! I hope you had a good day! Have fun tonight!

I hope everyone gets better soon!

I started playing Call of Duty 4 on the PC in June 2010. I played 1.6 for a while in a hardcore Search and Destroy clan, under the tags :)eX(: ... We moved up to 1.7 and my old clanmates, Leatherneck and AG introduced me to >XI< Freezetag Server 1. I fell in love with the mod. Eventually they, and all the other eX guys quit CoD4, and I was the only one left. I played promod, competitive CoD4, for a while, and I'd go through phases of ftag for a few months, then promod for a few months. I eventually got fed up with the assholes and cheaters in promod, so I brought my shotgun to >XI< for good. I'm blessed to be a part of the XI family.

@@codpiece This is why we can't have nice things

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. May he rest in peace. An end to life on earth, but a beginning to life in a better place. Stay strong, I know it is hard.

Hang in there, I know it's tough. I just lost my father, so for your sake, I'll pray for you both.

Thank you everyone. We got to celebrate my father's life last night and honor him at his funeral service today. I flew our flag at half mast today in our backyard, despite the hurricane. I had the privilege of writing and presenting my father's eulogy. I was emotional at first, but I gained my composure as I went on. I spent the whole week putting it together. I will remember last night and today for the rest of my life.

Thank you all very much. It means a lot to have all of your support.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate all of this.

My father passed away last night. He was battling cancer. He was doing well, but this happened suddenly. My family and I could use some prayers. Thank you all.

A.) Camp B.) Throw grenades, use noob tubes/Inventory item C.) Run and hope for the best, yolo D.) Bait your teammate (let them die in front of you so you can kill that person) E.) Wait for UAV or intel from friendly killstreaks F.) Other (Describe what you do)

In my opinion, I like Icequeen better since in other games, I like characters associated with cold weather. However, I like to change my name too sometimes. If it makes you happy, change your name for now.
