Remember, the weapons are only deadly in the hands of people who know how to use them and where to go in using them.

IN that, a bit of practice with how each weapon works and the layout in the map and you will be calling in AC130's in no time.

This.

Use the M4A1 until you get the SCAR, Use stopping power as well.

Video games dont make kids do things, poor parenting and guidance in life when making important decisions such as those to discern fiction from reality does.

I have to say even though it is one of my killstreak rewards, chopper gunner needs to be nerfed.

I hate that shit

I've always agreed with that, and always thought people who took all their time to bitch about GTA and Mortal Combat were idiots, still do.

but there's something different about this game...I've never been bothered, I guess the civilian thing bothered me (I thought it was fun)...

I don't think kids will take an AK-47 and attack an airport, I just have a problem with the desensitization of these kids.

I mean, lets face it, every year kids are getting dumber and dumber (talk to anyone who works at a school, I'm sure someone here does, they do damn arts and grafts all day)

Been on a bit of a role last couple of days. Lots of ~20-~10 games or better. Mini Uzi and sniping have been working for me.

No.

<font color=goldenrod>lol threw a Semtex grenade out a window, aiming for the doorway of a room another guy was sniping (he didn't have a view of me, I was in a building to the side of him)

My throw was hella short but an opponent happened to be walking by and it stuck. :cool:

Also not too bad at throwing the knife</font>

I have been using the barret to this effect and have been annoying the piss out of some people by being rather accurate in hip firing it.

Also, I have recently been reborn and found ACR, I believe and him and his godly abilitys.

ACR's pretty wild, and possibly more accurate than it should be. Got a lot of longshots with it. Silenced.

I have been able to snipe with it and a thermal scope, yep its too accurate.

ACR is easily my favourite gun in the game. People bitch about it being weak, but with accuracy like that it doesn't need to be strong, because every shot is gonna land.

Does it take a million bullets to kill someone with a silenced ACR without Stopping Power?

Not a million. Couple more than the average assault rifle, but not enough that I ever consider Stopping Power with an ACR.

:wtf:

We are playing the same game I assume, but unless I catch the other person off guard I usually get owned by them, for some reason nearly every gun seems to fire and kill faster then a silenced ACR.

Hell, I have had dual models miss, reload and still get me while the guy was strafing and I was shooting him with the ACR, no idea what makes the silenced ACR so terrible.

The person using it.

You're probably just shit Fallen Angel.

I waste dudes with my silenced ACR. It's almost my go-2 weapon. Silenced ACR with Marathon/Cold-Blooded/Ninja and Tactical Insertion saved games. In fact, all of my classes have Tactical Insertion, and I don't miss grenades either (they just don't work for me).

<font color=goldenrod>81 kills, 209 deaths. FML</font>

What game lasted that long?

Nah I think they're overrated (grenades.) The only time they're useful is maybe throwing one in the window of a building from the ground or when you get a few enemies in small group, which is rare.

I've had more success with flash bangs.

<font color=goldenrod>None, those are just my accumulated stats after around 2 hours total of playing time. I'll play for like 30 min, do terribly, get frustrated, and turn the game off.</font> :o

Me and my squad mainstay, D Rep26, had a fucking marathon last night til 5am. We had an awesome run, but what was hilarious was people being fixated on our 'clan tag' "HALO". Guys are telling us to go play it, or asking why we're playing CoD. Good fun. We also have fun trying to get the point across that CoD players seem to have a poor grasp on respawn migration and objective games in general. So many games would be easier if these guys applied some simple concepts, smooth shooters as they are.

Who cares about K/D, it's all about score and fighting spirit.

<font color=goldenrod>Nah, I disagree. If you have a terrible K/D ratio you are pretty much a liability to your team...especially if you mainly play Team Deathmatch (like I do).

Just tried a Free-for-All game. Was killed like 7 times in a 3 minute span.</font>

You'll get better. When I played over Christmas there were loads of new people on who'd obviously just got it as a present and was pissing all over them. Got a 24 kill streak and everything, but now it's back to normal and most people are quite good.

Unless you have a shit connection that is. You're fucked if everyone has a speedier connection than you.

Maybe you should stop moving so much and support your team via recon and cover fire. Also try out the objective games to learn the maps faster. Also in obj. games K/D doesn't matter and you can score big no matter your deaths.

I'm guessing you move wrong and/or don't know how to use line of sight perspective to your advantage. My initial advice to this is to play like a paranoid cripple. Overreaction helps in this game.

<font color=goldenrod>I feel that camo is much better in this game. I've been killed a ton by people I legit didn't see at all (not sniping, either).</font>

Yeah, that gets annoying.

I like to put on Cold Blooded Pro, Ninja Pro and a silenced sniper rifle and hide in the snow or Wasteland like a bastard.

Not bastardly, just plain smart. Camping is legit.

I'm usually out in the open to be honest. Sneaking around.

I also find hiding in plain sight oddly helpful.

K/D means nothing in other modes though - I came first in the winning team in a Domination match earlier on today despite having the most deaths on the entire team.

And quite frankly, I couldn't care less about score, kills, whatever - I play it to have fun. The only time I don't enjoy it was when I get tossed into the meat grinder and start getting gunned down every 10 seconds.

<font color=goldenrod>That's kinda what it feels like.

It's alright though, sooner or later I'll have a "breakout game". I was pretty terrible in MW1 and World at War for ages as well, then I just put together one or two really good games and I feel good no matter how much I might suck in the future.</font> :cool:

The meat grinder thing tends to happen more on the smaller levels with Ground War matches - Scrapyard is terrible for it.

Had a nice game earlier, Hardcore Team Deathmatch for some reason the teams went arseways and it ended up me and one other guy against 6 people. Didn't get anyone on our team the whole game and we masacared them. We both just crept around being sneaky bastards with ninja coldblooded and a silenced sniper.

I NEVER play team death match, hard to tell where the enemies are. Always do domination.

Communication and radar. Otherwise good luck with this game.

Haha, clearly if you looked at my match win and K/D ratio, you would think otherwise.

UMP 45 Silenced, Marathon, Cold-Blooded, Ninja = Win :)

<font color=goldenrod>Had to get rid of Knife Throwing from my class. It's fun and I've had a couple cool kills with it, but more often than not I'll miss and get killed easily (I try to throw-and-kill before they've shot enough to get me).

Gotta practice. Went back to Semtex for the time being.</font>

I have not gotten a single kill with a throwing knife :$

As for a silenced ACR, what the fuck do you do Kalyx, nothing seems to work for me, anything from midrange in I cant get them down if they see me and start shooting, anything farther out is the same.

If you can't get kills from midrange with an ACR, I just don't know what to tell you.

My most used class is ACR with Thermal

I dont know what to tell you Blitz, its like the goddamn thing wont shoot with a silencer.

Try it with Holo or Red Dot or, dare I say, no special sights at all. Thermal sight is cute but the lag will make it difficult to use in most cases. I get ACR kills mostly at the long range to mid-long range so you may not want to be 'in the shit' when running around with it. Other than that I imagine it's something you're doing, because that gun is a monster even silenced.

I dont know man. I can get 20+ kills and less then 10 deaths using anything on the ACR but the silencer, I find I hit the person with a bullet or two and they turn and now me down. Also the ACR has the best iron sights in the game in my opinion.

Hate the thermal scope. It's such a crutch for sniping. Think I've seen 1 sniper not using it in 2 months.

Why wouldnt you use it? It seems kinda stupid to handicap yourself. Why do you use guns? I have never seen anyone go a whole match without using one. (I know its a retarded analogy) but using what you are the best with and what makes you better is how you win in this game. For example I use a thermal 50 cal, aa12 with extended clips, claymore, smoke (so when i know someone is coming toward me on a map like estate or afghan i can hide my claymores or when there is a group i toss it and snipe them since they cant see me) perks are scavenger, stopping power, steady aim and death is painkiller. I do very well with this class. If you were to give me a acoged scar i would do ok but nowhere as good as with the Barret. as for allegations viat thermal is noobish, christ everything in this game is noobish. For example what is your best class lodown?

Lets see, go prone, hold zoom till something white pops up and shoot. Yeah that's fun and is gonna make someone a better sniper.

Best class? Don't have one, I unlock everything for the mastery challenge for a gun and move on to the next, changing perks as well depending on the gun.

Put Cold Blooded on then. This game is well balanced. Every advantage has a counter to it.

My completely undetectable class has the advantage of being able to sneak up on people but the disadvantage of still being killed first most of the time because you have to pump a full clip into someone when you use a silenced weapon without Stopping Power.

People call anything that kills them noobish. Was playing free for all earlier trying to build my AA-12 up, so it was the only weapon I used. The whole room started crying about how I was using just my shotgun being cheap running around killing everyone. Made me chuckle.

Use the Ump 45 ECG that thing is damn good, and I don't think it suffers at all from putting a silencer on it and going without stopping power.

When I used Juggernaut in the first my answer to the noob taunts was always "Why do you use stopping power? One less bullet to kill. So how does making it one more make me a noob" then i get called a fag :p As for thermal, like ecg said use cold blooded then, someone using steady aim dont stay still, someone using sitrep, laugh at them. someone using commando plus tactical knife and a care package marker use aa12 or dual akimbos. Also ecg, like previously stated use the ump 45 as it only seems to suffer in range not power. or p90

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, people complain way too much. The only thing that REALLY irks me is people who camp in completely irrelevant locations in a game like Domination. If you are in an overviewing sniping spot, that's one thing...but it's really gay to be sitting in some area with a shotgun when it's nowhere near any of the three locations. Find a place closer to the areas to defend, or use your shotty to try and capture another spot.

Ditto for people who just use Marathon to run around knifing, not actually trying to accomplish anything in the game...just trying to get their K/D stats up even though it's pointless if it's not Team Deathmatch. Was knifed by the same guy like 10 times in one game, and everyone on my team was complaining about the same guy cause that's ALL he did. He didn't have a single capture or defense.</font>

Actually the Marathon/Lightweight/Commando/Tactical Knife combo is a beast for getting promoted. Did 60-62 in an hour when I was trying it out first time through.

I would say nothing is really noobish although it is frustrating when one Team mainly uses "noob tubes".
------------------------------
Also I NEED to have marathon on....I can't live without it.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm only on like level 14...so my main class right now is

-SCAR w/ Red Dot Sight
-Whatever default rocket launcher there is (just cause I'm waiting to shoot down a heli and get the XP points)
-Semtex

-Marathon, 1 less kill needed for Killstreaks, then something else I'm not too wild about but I haven't got many choices

-Deathstreak is the on where I get 10 seconds of increased health

-UAV, Counter UAV, Predator as killstreaks (haven't unlocked most of them yet)<</font>

The only thing noobish in this game are noob tubes and dual 1880s. Everything else is pretty 'counterable'. Those are the only things that really just piss me off regularly.

<font color=goldenrod>I really don't have any problems with any weapons. I feel that if they're there, it's fair game. It's just the way people use them that annoys me (camping in irrelevant locations during Domination, etc.)</font>

"if they're there" doesn't mean they aren't overpowered as shit and need to be fixed. Someone with scavenger and a noob tube is probably the most annoying person in any game, period. Even using it in return doesn't make me nearly as satisfied, because I would rather it not be there at all.

<font color=goldenrod>What exactly is a "noob tube"?</font> :o

:y::y::y:

Hate that shit.

Any gun with a grenade launcher. Possibly used with the perk danger close, which increases explosive damage.

It is pretty much an instant kill, and it is called a 'noob tube' because it doesn't take any skill to use it. You just point and shoot, and you kill people. It doesn't even have to really be close with 'danger close', and you just die.

It is retarded, and probably the worst thing to exist in this game. People can run around with scavenger on, and essentially never run out of grenades with it.

I hate to tell you, but tha'ts what I'm doing now. :o

At least I'm not doing it with my buds though. Just doing it in free-for-all and stuff. Need like 20 more kills to get the Danger Close Pro. And then I'll probly keep doing it to get the Danger Close challenge. But then I'm done with it.

RoXer was infuriating my buddy with his noob tube antics. Very funny.

<font color=goldenrod>Ah, I'm technically guilty of using it with the SCAR, but only to get the Shotgun challenges...then once I unlocked the Red Dot sight I switched over to that and have been having much more success.</font>

Challenges/unlocks are one thing, but it is still annoying to get killed by it.

Pretty much just wish it wasn't in the game at this point, because I don't see how they could make it less powerful really.

GOOD FUCKIN IDEA.....THANK YOU!

i dont know if you're being serious here. am honestly surprised people haven't heard the term 'noob tube', because I was introduced to the term my first day of playing, and I have hated it ever since

I wish the blast sheild would be a little more effective against them. I understand I can't be completly indestrcutible but I should be able to survive ONE tube. Just one.

'Blast Mask'?

I spanked roxer yesterday with my hardcore sniper class

Rpg plus scavenger counters noob tubers rather satisfactory.

Exploitation arms race, huh? Doesn't sound like a solution at all. Just a lot of annoyance from both sides.

I have been running around with an RPG, but mostly because getting head shots with it is hilarious.

I got a headshot from a predator missile, now that is hilarious

Did you know pressing the R trigger on a predator missile makes it travel faster? It was news to me like a week ago.

And I believe LT slows it down?

Yeah. Great for getting that group of bastards huddling before they scatter.

It does take a bit of skill to hit people at range though - plus up close you risk the grenade missing and not detonating at all.

Great strategy is claymore, smoke and scavenger plus a heartbeat sensor. place the claymores on corners near you and when someone gets close throw down the smoke, chances are they hit a claymore then you get the claymore and smoke back from their dead body.

I love SiteRep for people like you. Sneaky fucking Prawn.

scavenger is probably one of the best perks ever, but I hate that it is perk 1 because I love bling pro sooooo much

I am a sniper,I use thermal, I carry a shotgun that can unload a clip in 3.5 seconds. I use scavenger and claymores/smoke grenades and yet people hate players who use noob tubes. I admittingly piss alot of people off in team deathmatch because I will find a good area, place claymores and use smoke to hide them or blast away with a shotgun if you get close. I get called a camper for doing this, I am not a camper, I am a sniper and I dont want you to kill me. :p

That's one of the gayest posts we'll see this year I predict.

The ACR is a beast, I can't believe I took so long to give it a go. I'm killed about 300 people with it in one day.

ACR was forged by the God of War, himself. Created by the ore of fossilized lost souls and constructed using damned blind men. Finished with the tears of raped women and blessed by an agent of never ending despair. The bullets are from the NRA.

And not to be outdone we have Kalyx.

Also req, what two attachments are so important that you have to use bling pro?

I use Bling for my go-2 class and I likes it a lot. M16 with Holo and FMJ.

I use Scavenger for my sneaky classes because it takes so much more ammo to kill people with silenced weapons, but Sleight of Hand is the only option for my normal class.

Sleight of Hand is kinda useless, you can manage without it. Unless you use Light Machineguns that take four years to reload.

I dont even use it with my heavy duty class which is an RPD and stinger, Once I gun someone down I will switch the stinger for their weapon.

The ADS speed up means you win the majority of close to mid-range encounters. Very useful.

I've never had a firefight where nobody died before reload on either side. It's usually somebody gets caught slipping and gets killed, or two people meet mutually and one dies a second later. That's my experience, anyway.

It's not the reload, it's the ADS. Firing through the sight kills much quicker than hipfire. If you have Sleight of Hand Pro the ADS is basically instantaneous, so it's as quick as firing off the hip.

What's your third tier Perk? Maybe you could supplement hip fire with more accuracy, but you seem to be doing well as it is.

Ninja Pro usually, again not for the primary heartbeat sensor evasion but the lack of footsteps. The reload for SoH helps too for in between fire fights so you don't get caught by some fucking cunt drawn in by your fire. I find it helps alot when there's 2/3 guys on screen and you can nail them all by ADSing 3 times and re-loading quickly if necessary.

I have used sleight with my smg class, really useful to be honest. Though if i use a silencer i usually go with marathon instead. ECG, you were saying earlier about silenced weapons, try marathon, hardline and commando, you can run quickly to the enemies side and flank them, they wont expect it so fast so you can usually get 2-3 kills before they become aware. fire off a secondary unsilenced weapon and wait roughly 20 seconds slightly hidden, kill whoever comes along and steal their weapon (you should be low now) then get the hell out of there as they will all swarm the area. circle around and repeat. I do this on underpass, afghan and derail with ease, usually get 20+ with less then 10 deaths using the ump.
