Before I did fresh start I had diamond SMGs and pretty much played them ad nauseam.
Decided to go a different route this time around and am primarily sticking with LMGs and handguns.
Tried to get into using ARs but I can't find any I like. Probably because I can't find a reason to use any over an SMG.
LMGs do something SMGs can't, ARs don't really offer that (based on my limited experienced with ARs)

LMG's are the only set I have diamond camo for so far, they are extremely underrated
Crossbow and ballistic knife are easy. Shield? F**k that.
Why didn't I even think of the Crossbow and BK? I should do that.
Pro tip: Sticks and Stones makes makes crossbow and BK camo unlocks much, much, much easier than regular game modes.
Played like six games or so tonight and it was decent I guess. I got several VSATS. Then these 2+ K/D people joined the lobby and the game decided to give them a 2-3 second advantage over us. 2 minutes later, they had 34 confirms to our 6. I dashboarded from that shitty game. I'm not giving people free kills.

Shield is probably the easiest one to get. Just play FFA for a bit.
I never play FFA, never thought of that. Was just doing HC to raise my shield (it is 1HK in HC). No way it is easier than ballistic knives though. I got gold ballistic knives over the span of a single afternoon. Seriously, took only a few hours.
So.. Whats your favorite and the least favorite maps?
For me I love Yemen, Drone, Plaza, and Raid. Especially on domination. Both sides have equal access to B flag. But with the right placement of sentry or guardians, one side will be forced to just go to one route and let your team decimate them.
Aftermath on the other hand, i hate that map. So much corners and bullshit.
Im a groundwar/domination guy so i love huge maps.

I pretty much only play Domination. Having said that, my favorite maps are Yemen, Plaza, and Drone. Meltdown and Raid aren't terrible too.
Least favorite is probably Nuketown, followed by Carrier. Used to hate Cargo, but I'm warming up to it.

When I go against a whole clan of master prestige I just assume they shared one account to get it, especially when they play like noobs.
I'm currently having a lot of fun moving from prestige to prestige while unlocking diamond camo's, but it's a personal thing. There is no prestige in it due to the clone account glitch.

If it really bugs you, check their SPM, playtime, and other combat record stats and see if it looks like it is glitched/boosted. If it does, you can use the Report Player function then click on "Boosting."
I have a friend who is adamant about doing this, and believe it or not a lot of the people he reports end up getting banned and reset.

YUP. Gave my brother my prestige and we both got reset. Fucking stupid. Was supposed to be a reset according to their own rules. Not a 7 day ban and a reset.
Sucks man. Did they really make you keep the deaths and losses and cleared your wins and kills? If so, that's pretty f-ed up.

Finally had a good string of games last night. Connections seemed stable, and I absolutely destroyed what I hope were a bunch of Christmad noobs. In a TDM game to 75, I should NEVER be able to get 45 of the kills....

No idea. Figure they would reset the one that didn't get it legit right? Their own terms say a reset first offense. Not a ban. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Hell, last time they just reset the people to their level before from my understanding.
Shouldn't you be in another thread posting your 9/11 theories or something? Or maybe be bitching about how much you hate this game?

Who cares about stats though, really, why?
What is cheating to get master prestige going to do to make the game more fun?
If you want to cheat at something take steroids and a baseball bat

in case you can't read, I gave my little brother who lives with me mine because he wanted them. I did not boost for the prestige I gave him. Try again.

Sorry but having a hard time seeing how that's a viable excuse...but maybe I'm missing something.

I wasn't making any excuse. I said I did it a few days ago. What I have a problem with is that their inconsistency enforcing their own code of conduct is pathetic. Does me passing off the prestige that took me months to get to my 13 year old brother ruin your time playing this game? No? Okay then.
They have bigger things to fix about this game than people passing off a virtual rank to a sibling that gives no competitive advantage.

I've never had more than 3 kills with one.
And Carrier, but yes, it's useless on maps where large buildings are prevalent.
Its scorestreak requirement really should be lower.
Warthog does suck, but the sound is amazing.
ZZZZNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!
Why would you copy your prestige anyway? You know its a glitch and they are aware with it right?
And you still did it.
Yes they have many things on their plate that should be fixed first, but thats not an excuse for doing this.
Thats like, "hey man, i have studied very hard last night for this exam, but heres my paper copy it so you can get high grades too."
Then you got caught.

I wasn't making an excuse. I am saying of they're going to put out community guidelines for first, second, etc. offenses, they should follow them.

Finally got my diamond launcher a couple days ago. The diamond RPG is awesome, the ammo is actually has diamonds on it lol. After I am done with the AN94 or whatever, I'll have 3 assault rifles left to gold and then they are diamond too. After that idk if I will do shotties or not. Definitely not doing anything else.
I am glad Treyarch included these, it's a nice little carrot to keep playing for and a good reason to try other weapons.

is there any reason not to use target finder for LMGs or any loadout you've got set up for ranged combat?
The people I play with all tend to run Cold Blooded (including myself) whenever on a map large enough to make target finder useful. A team full of people running Cold Blooded renders target finder a fairly useless attachment. It completely cuts off your peripheral vision (which is fine if you are camping, but it does pretty much render you immobile when you ADS).
I typically run dual band on LMGs. Even if they are running cold blooded, it is a decent scope. One advantage it has over target finder is that it works through smoke, target finder does not. This is handy in objective modes where cap points are spammed with smoke grenades and explosions.
That and people make fun of me if I ever use a target finder
Just picked up Blops 2 and played my first couple of matches and figured I'd join CoD-GAF and share my first impressions.
The gunplay felt reeaaally weird in the first 1 or 2 games. I have played all the CoD's before but this felt really weird. The recoil just felt.. odd... Maybe it's because I kind of skipped MW3 and played a bunch of Battlefield 3 with it's superior gunplay. But after I started playing with an assault rifle I started getting used to the weird recoil and gun feedback. I've always been a pretty good CoD player so it felt good getting some decent scores again. One thing I really like so far are the killstreaks. They really feel like they are a lot harder to get. Even the UAVs are pretty hard to get. It's nice! Looking forward to play some more.

Target Finder is one of the better attachments for any gun.
-It magnifies your vision significantly.
-It completely gets rid of idle sway.
-The crosshairs in it makes it easier to aim.
-The red squares/diamonds around players make it easier to kill them too.

I like them too. The past 2 Calls of Duty have had some pretty weak scorestreaks.
Here they've made them stronger. (Predator Missile can now be scattered/Lodestar shoots quicker and has more ammo as well as thermal vision/Vtol has rockets/sentry gun can now be controlled/death and war machines last til ammo runs out etc...)
I also like how you get objective points because now killstreaks require the least amount of kills than ever before and can easily be attained.
Dogs are pretty much worthless in this game. I've never gotten more than 5 kills with them and people can still easily take objectives while dogs are on the map.
You have to know where you are aiming. It wont indicate it. Given the minimal zoom it provides, I consistently kill TF users by simply"head glitching" and taking them out while they are clueless. Works exceptionally well in HC where there is no killcam.
I also spam EMP grenades to no end, which renders the target finder absolutely horrible. No peripheral vision + no crosshair/diamonds showing up.
I'm that guy who is always lobbing EMPs, literally nonstop.
EDIT: I should add that I'll use TF if I feel like the other team is getting a lot of kills on me from head glitching and they are't using Cold Blooded, or if people are grouped together and taking cover in a building or hiding behind some sort of material I can penetrate easily using my LMG (and FMJ if needed). I will only ever use TF on LMGs though, and only when playing a purely defensive roll.
Ah, good to know. Haven't tried them yet. I just wanted a good scorestreak I don't have to control so I can do other stuff while it is happening. Been using Lodestar, but sometimes my team is for some reason too caught up in doing whatever they are doing to capture points to give us an advantage in Domination, even when I am totally clearing the area for them making it perfectly safe to cap.
I'll go with swarm then. I think it is only a 200 pt different from K9 unit.

I like dualband more. It seems like dual band reduces recoil for the LMGs. Plus i prefer the dualband reticle to the thick target finder reticle.
Ofcourse you have to know where youre aiming, just like all other optics. But when aiming at a cold blooded enemy gives you no indication from other optics. TF does.
EMP makes every optics almost unusable. Except for acog i guess.
I'm really getting annoyed by my friends who keep bragging about the great games they have when the game still keeps screwing me over. I can't improve my stats at all because of the terrible netcode. Their K/Ds and SPM are rising all the time while mine barely goes anywhere. I have no consistency whatsoever. I played Hardcore KC tonight, and I go 40-6 in my first game, and then I go severely negative in the next three games.
Believe me, I want to have fun with this game, but its hard to have fun when I'm getting punished for things beyond my control. I've been playing these games for too long to have trouble like this. I feel like this is my first COD game. I legitimately sucked at MW2, but it was still a lot more fun then any COD game I've played since. I felt like my deaths were my fault, where in subsequent entries I would have countless situations where I would fire first and still die anyway. Then I get to watch a killcam where it shows me doing nothing.

I kinda think the emps shouldn't be able to knock out equipment in one go. With Engineer equipped, you can see a sentry a mile away and then lob an emp.
I love them to bits, but they have so many more advantages than the others.
