For the first time since the Tomb Raider 1 I have 'finished' a game.

Feel most pleased with myself, killing all them pesky baddies. I trained for this by watching my 2 sons who seem to be on some sort of super pro level. Although I confess to throwing the controller at my youngest a couple of times saying 'get me through this bit'.

They remain unimpressed however as according to them I was doing it on some sort of numpty new-boy level.I'm nearly 50 I tell them, and my eyes and fingers don't work as fast as they used to! Think I might have to try some of this on-line stuff now! Baddies beware! Is there an old geezer setting I wonder?

Very very easy I believe. In some scenes the baddies walked up and stood still so I could shoot them. Still felt like I needed eyes everywhere. It's all this walking one way while looking the other way that does my head in.

There are levels.. 1-70, then when you get to 70 you can go back down to 1 again, to start again smile

So I've gone to 70, then back to 1 then am at 55 now.. I did have some help, my brother done the first prestige hehe

Im now on lvl 64, but I don't want to prestige as I loose all my guns and perks. I'm finally getting the hang of sniping (but on HC only as its 1 shot kills), but your right, now I'm 40 my reactions are rubbish. All the kids seem to be able to shoot before I've had time to react.

hehe

I'm still young, 20, so am not too bad at sniping.. I love sniping, especially when you get another sniper on the other team who is good too, its good finding each other and each others positions.

Prestige is worth it. It becomes a real challenge to kill those who have all the weapons under the sun.

I also enjoyed the odd pistol and grenade only rounds.....

However, as it is P2P servers, if those kids have a much better internet connection, they will have that advantage over you as well.

Yep the host advantage is massive in MW2 and really can change the entire outcome of a game. The number of times I have been saved by being host is large.

I'm also, nearly always host on MW2 and it does make a difference, specially if a yank has had host it's always so shocking connection.
