Made it to Gunny in 6 days, playing only free-for-all! Headquarters is my new friend tho, more XP.

Most of the game modes annoy the shit out of me. I swear every player on the team I'm on has one goal....get killed 100 times in a single game.

I tried HQ and it was me and 5 other random guys vs. 6 clan members on count down. We were dying left and right, I spawned behind a guy and before I could shoot his partner killed me. Then they had helicopter support every 5 seconds. It was a waste.

I only play team death match, but now the new mercenary death match is my fav. No annoying die hard 6 man teams coming in to walk all over the rest of us. I'm level 46 or 47 or something like that. I'm not sure I want to go into prestige mode or not. 10 times seems a bit much.

mercenary death match is the same, minus the clans?

My HQ experience was much better. I don't really mind the helos either, just shoot 'em down. I find it's actually easier to hit one with the 203 than an RPG, but you have to be close.
