I'm on a M14 love affair right now. This gun is the true headshot king. It's barely manageable at first, but once you get the Red Dot, everything in your way just dies. It feels good being able to aim for the head and to have it actually be effective. I used to hate this gun, but now I think it's the no. 2 assault rifle (just barely in front the AK-47, and behind the God King G3)
I also finally managed to get my headshot count over my assist count. Now I just want to get my W/L ratio to 2.0, but I seem stuck at 1.72.

I do but also recognize the M16 is probably the better overall weapon.
I <3 the default color. It's the only primary weapon that I use in the normal color config. Plus it matches the silver Deagle I pair it with.Duck said:Yeah, I was in the same boat. Absolutely loathed the M14 at first, and then for some reason things clicked when I went back to try it. Now I have the red tiger camo for it.

I also believe the M14 is purty.

So far I've played Creek and Broadcast tonight. I love 'em!
I noticed some pop-in on Creek, but not too bad (PS3 version).

Yeah, up close it's pure garbage (though you catch the lucky headshot every once in a while, it's still really crappy), which is why I find myself switching my pistol quite often. Up close is the only time I go rapid fire, otherwise I'm shooting slow and steady.raYne said:
Yeah, it's like that in the 360 version too.blindrocket said:

You know, Creek is already starting to wear thin. It's no Overgrown replacement, that's for sure.Relix said:

Damn it, can't play the new maps, Sony or Infinity Ward fucked up.
If you buy the version available in stores where I live (Switzerland) and buy the map pack on the PSN store, it doesn't work. Seems to be a problem with the different languages in some of tghe Euro versions of the game. Fuck.

WRONG!! I consider myself a LMG master, using M60 with Grip, and I literally SNIPE people from away with it. I sniped 10 guys in Overgrown today for example, like guys on the other side of the map. Just two quick pops to the trigger (don't leave them pressed) and people go down like flies.
Another advantage... I can storm a room of people and take one or two with me, and while they are confused my Martyrdorm grenade falls and.. GLORY!!!

You can do that with many guns in the game. However, anyone who is any good isn't going to let someone sit and snipe them with a freaking LMG.
Tried it a few times, but the kickback bothered me enough that I swapped back to the red dot. Especially versus moving targets since it's easy to lose sight of them and much harder to get headshots.PjotrStroganov said:

I find that the m14 is one of those guns that is actually quite manageable using iron sight. The kickback makes it less suitable for long distance (unless you have a static target) but for medium and close range it's awesome.
I'm not a very good shot but I've also noticed that when I'm in 'that zone', I automatically press forward the analog nub to account for the kickback. Never played any other shooter that long to be able to do that. Aiming low also works.

Isn't it true to sniping with any guns, then? Sure, LMG and SMG are noob friendly guns, but there are plenty of excellent LMG and SMG players who overcame the limitation of the guns, range, and as skilled as other gun users.Andokuky said:
Once you cover the long range problem, LMG and SMG are unstoppable, especially if you're defending a chock point or running into a roomful of opponents where you simply don't have time to aim headshots on everyone; the firing speed and clip size are very important.
My main guns are AK47, M16, M4, AK47u, and RPD, BTW.
Definitely. It's one of the better ARs in the game as far as visibility with the ironsights goes, but as I said, it's the kickback that bothered me. The gun itself goes up farther than some of the others and covers your line of sight. Which is very annoying when targeting runners, to say the least. Particularly, as you said, against far targets.PjotrStroganov said:I find that the m14 is one of those guns that is actually quite manageable using iron sight.

One thing you gotta try is the M14 with the ACOG. It's damn close to being the best sniper rifle in the game. :x
Anyway, because of this discussion, I'm gonna do an all silenced M14 session in the next few days. Gotta get it done before GTA comes out.

Soooo, IW. When I get near the top of a ladder, and I press the A button, I want to jump OFF the ladder, not go into the incredibly long climbing animation and climb into the building and get shot by the guy I was trying to get away from.
Oh, yeah and if you could fix the quitting out of a match only to get set right back into it by matchmaking, that would be nice. Happens more now since the map pack. Less games that I have access to I guess.

Finally finished the campaign on Hardened. Man, there are some tough spots I think I replayed about 10 or 20 times, lol. I got through the first two missions on Veteran but after the big communications room keep whooping my ass I had to scale back. Loved the game! My only complaint is the nade spamming by enemies can annoy the crap out of you at times.

Yeah, I've tried it. And with success. But then I went prestige.:lol

From what I can figure out, the G3 forces you to aim your shots because it's semi-auto. So instead of firing a spray of inaccurate fire you are shooting a tight cluster of really damaging bullets. It's usually my rifle of choice.Eric WK said:

I downloaded the new maps (PS3) on Friday and I can say that Broadcast is easily my favorite. Creek is very nice looking but a sniper fest The only map I haven't tried yet is Killhouse. Anyone know exactly when the new maps will be added to the regular playlists this week? I'd like to get a workout on Killhouse free for all. On the topic of which guns you use, one build I like is for Vacant. A shotgun class. I have the 1200 equipped with the perks RPG x2/C4, sonic boom, and extreme conditioning. Works ok for me.

If it's anything like the 360's map pack implementation was, it should be put into the normal matchmaking as soon as early this week.fps fanatic said:I downloaded the new maps (PS3) on Friday and I can say that Broadcast is easily my favorite.

If you want to play Killhouse (which you shouldn't), it'll be in FFA.
