That's awfully large for 2" SCH-40 PR pipe.
And my mind can't get off of the failure characteristics of the pipe if it were to be shot in real life.

That's what I really like about the game, the detail is fantastic and it's these little things which really bring it to life.
MW2 is amazing, and you pretty much summed it up there... its the little things like the Pictures of a Man and his camel on the wall in one the of the multiplayer maps on CoD4 or the chickens in cages bringing the MW2 maps to life...
Game developers can learn alot from Infinity ward.

How can you tell under the helmet
I'm guessing the name comes from the similarity to the comic character.

Haha because their nice bald head gives me a lovely reflection from the sweet summer sun so I can pop 3 headshots to take him down
They even shoot at claymores if you lay any, and if they trip them it doesn't do anything but make them stumble.

Given the level of ballistic protection those suits offer, that's not so unbelievable, but the level of agility on the other hand is a bit much.
Segway perhaps

The hint it gives me when one of those sucka's kill me is:
Explosives are very effective against Juggernauts.
Misleading, huh?

The same kind of patronising advice like "grenades can kill you if you're too close" and "burning cars may explode" and "next time, why not mêlée the vicious rabid canine killing machine
before being locked in its jaws"

I find the M1 flamethrower, along with crouching in the corner near a desk to be most effective against dogs.
Has anyone noticed that the configuration of that pipe would be suitable for guttering (DWV), not 400+ psi rated 2" PVC? It just strikes me that it seems more like water out than in.

I WILL be playing MW2 after Christmas. Just before I was ready to buy it, my wife stopped me with the 'Its cheap enough, so let one of the kids get it for you for Christmas' thing.
And so, I wait for the fat guy in the red suit....

I find retreating to a corner covered by claymores with the AA-12 in hand to be good medicine for canines

Considering the lead filled environment it has to survive in, it seems a bit underrated to me

Worth waiting for

they must have cold blooded on, since they don't show up on thermal... And I hate how snow shows up white on thermal, even though snow is cold. I suppose it is for balance, but still.
I am also disappointed about Infinityward's security. People have hacked "matchmaking" on the 360 version to take you domination on Rust, with no score limit. They also made it so the noob-tube doesn't have to reload and has unlimited ammo. This also works for the 105mm on the ac130, causing the map to explode constantly for around 30 seconds once someone manages to get 11 kills in a row, while being killed with full auto tubes.
The javelin glitch was understandable, and they fixed it. These security breeches are ridiculous, though.

There's a bit of artistic license thrown in to fit the gameplay, like corpses going cold immediately after getting shot.
The "heartbeat sensor" that can tell the difference between friend and foe is a bit fanciful too, but it doesn't detract from what is, after all, a video game.
