So I'm playing MW2, naturally. I join a friends game. All of a sudden my computer completely crashes and reboots. Weird. Figure it overheated. Log back on.... and I'm rank 1?!?! Being a first prestige lv40, this is more than a little issue for me. I'm at a loss for ideas. I've tried doing a bunch of shit, up to and including a system restore to a few days ago, to no avail.
I can't even ask at the IW forums because they have the worst website design in existence. Forget my password because I never used it, use forgot password and that doesn't even work. So I make a new account... and every time I change page it either gives me an error or logs me back out.

Perhaps you were an unfortunate casualty after that patch? Lots of people ("dedicated server" crackers were the target apparently) had their stats reset.
I doubt that even if you could ask on the Infinity Ward forums (I don't seem to have a problem with it), your post would be drowned out by all the PC whiners. Just... start again. Those Default Classes are pretty cool. Ah ha... hah...

I have a 360, I would never buy a console just for one game, and playing cod on the 360 is bad.

Don't be ridiculous! Don't you know how tough it is to include mouse support and keyboard text chat? Why, they'd have to completely rewrite the game from scratch!

buy an xim, plug a spare $1 usb keyboard into your USB port. have your kbm & keyboard chat & be be done with PC gaming & its 12-18 mo hardware upgrading to run whatever new unreal or cryengine game is coming out id suggest a 360 over a ps3, but same advice either way! i was the biggest bleeding edge hardware / pc game purseho for a decade and i cant even tell you who makes the fastest video card at this point... trust me, you dont give up anything you wont miss after afew hours. mainy gfx. lets face it... pong, tank galaga & missle command are ancient and soooo much more fun than 95% of any games being released now its not funny lol so it winds up not being that big of a deal lol

I'm not interested in aim assist, ditching all of my PC friends, or dealing with the high quantity of kids on xbl (you cannot deny that more kids are 360 players than PC gamers, seriously).

Right up until when they're on your team. It's less the direct annoyance and more that they suck. As far as annoyance factors go, I believe the vast number of people whining on PC, especially about IWnet, is just as annoying as kids are, possibly more because you can't turn off text chat.

BTW, Macmillan, you could boost... You could do headshots in cage match... Using the riot shield in Search & Destroy would also be an amazing way to boost, since you get 500 points instead of 50, in search.
