You probably know this already, but the ones with a Green name over them are your allies. The ones that have nothing are the baddies.

I had that problem too, because its hard to tell. What I did for campaign was just stick around the person with the white dot that says "Follow" for the most part. Though sometimes they end up sitting in one spot until you move forward yourself.

campers. effin campers!

Well all the games online that I have played there isn't any team killing and you shoot everybody since sometimes the two sides look alike.

There are gametypes online that allow friendly fire. Thankfully they are unlocked at I think 16 or 19. By then you'll be good to go.

This, a thousand times.

"I've come to embrace the campers. There's nothing like pitching a tent and roastin' some 'mellows until someone walks in front of you and you get to gank them. If you can't beat them with superior skill, beat them at their own ****ty game. Good times." - Mr. Ruely

All I say is F*** the NOOB TUBE!!! I was playing a couple of nights ago and that is how one guy killed me at least 4 times. It was the same idiot, and seemed to be all he used

My buddy next door got a tactical nuke this morning while we were playing. Awesome. He got points for even killing his own team mates and it ended the game. And yeah, he's one of those guys that plays like 10 hours a day and talks a bunch of trash, but is insane good.

Does anyone else feel the single player campaign jumped the shark/nuked the fridge? I understand they want to put you in the shoes of someone fighting in your own backyard but it's just so stupid how they got to that point. The fun of CODMW1 was the pretense of reality but a surprise invasion of the U.S. that we didn't see coming at all because a few satellites were scrambled? Not to mention they invaded because they found a single dead American terrorist? This kind of writing is Michael Bay bad.

Also, some of the SP gameplay feels a lot like an on rails shooter. Narrow alley + aim assist + random baddies popping up in windows is depressingly shallow.

I think I'm only about halfway through (just got done running from diner to burger joint back to diner) so I really hope to campaign picks up.

On the other hand, I'm still really looking forward to the Spec Ops missions and the MP sounds fantastic. Just really disappointed in what a giant turd the SP has been so far.
