MSMC, Scorpion, or PDW. Can't really go wrong with any of those.

I like the Vector the best. Skorpion is the worst IMO. Any of them are a viable option though. The Chicom is probably the 2nd best.

How's the MP7? I tried it for a bit and it seems pretty good.

I'm pretty excited for the new maps. I really started getting into the game only a bit before the first pack came out so I held off on em for a bit. Now I'm pumped for more. Especially since they all look pretty awesome.
BO2 is definitely my favorite version, at least multiplayer wise. I never really stuck to the online this long.

April 10, 2013 Black Ops II patch notes:
Playlist update also removed Chaos Moshpit, HC CTF. Added HC Dom.

Treyarch also says Nuketown 2025 has been added to "majority" of the playlists.
Seen some Ustreamers and Youtubers who do the same. Didn't realize why though until I asked... Kinda lame but to each their own.
Haven't played since late Feb, DLC next week has me ready to hop back in though. This game was 90% of my gaming launch day till the day I quit cold turkey so it's been a nice break.

27 hours until Nuketown weekend begins! 
It'll be back on Tues.
The Hijacked hardpoint change is nice, no longer really makes the first person there the king of the engine room.
I liked Chaos Moshpit
It'll be back on Tues.
Not sure, only play TDM.
By the way, if anyone wants to play, send me a friend request. Live name is RJ81. I play between 9:30 - 11:00 est. I really only play TDM. If you see me online, send me an invite.
Unfortunately I can't use my mic right now. Our 2 month old is sleeping in a crib downstairs temporarily why we reno his new room.

I'm so happy the Nuketown Weekend is before the DLC is out
That way I can have fun on Nuketown and then focus on zombies when it's out.
Mob of the Dead is going to be epic!

How come c4 can be tossed so far?

Guys WTF, why did they take choas moshpit away?
Was it because no one was playing the other maps?
This blows man.

Because they put nuketown into regular playlists and chaos only existed to appease people's desire to be able to play a preorder map. Basically they ruined everyone's fun.

WTF, so there's real physics work to speak of.

They ruined it again coz people just quit out of lobbies/games coz they want to play only nuketown. I've never seen a dev so out of touch with their fanbase or it's like they genuinely want to piss them all off.
How come?
because nuketown is TERRIBLE man
I rather play aftermath and drone back-to-back-to-back than play nuketown ONCE.

Nuketown's a bit crap for TDM/KC but for objective games like Demo/HQ/HardP it's awesome and frantic. There's less space between the spawns and the objectives so it's more furious than the other maps where so much time is spent just getting to the objectives.
A very fun map.

It is? Cause the update removed the chaos moshpit. It's like these companies want people to hate them.

The others might be right.
It's just that Nuketown usually replaces Moshpit for the weekend.

I just liked playing objective games on smaller maps. And then to play Nuketown every other map was fun. I am very disappointed in this decision.

Been playing a little less than a week. Doing mostly Team Deathmatch in Core because it looks like that's where most of the population is.
I've been using the PDW SMG but it doesn't seem to do much damage. Feels like I have to shoot other people a lot more than they have to shoot me to get a kill. Thinking of switching to an assault rifle. Any recommendations?
And I've got the PDW to level 13 so far. Should I go ahead and max it out just because I'm so close? Isn't the max 16 or something?

You can max it, then prestige it and level it again, lol.
I like the PDW because of the large magazine. I usually run it with Laser Sight and Suppressor, because it's really good at hip-firing for quick encounters.
As far as Assault Rifles, I'm having a lot of success with the M27. It hits pretty hard, and has a good recoil to it. I don't use assault rifles much, sticking with SMGs, LMGs(love the HAMR), and the Remington.

You shouldn't be able to throw C4 like you're Brett Favre.
FAL, M8A1, or AN-94. Those are the best assault rifles.
scar and smr are underrated

You guys have suggested the M27, FAL, M8A1, AN-94, SCAR, and SMR
That's about all of them haha
I have another question though - is it possible to tell which gun someone is using in a killcam? Sometimes I see it and think I want to try it out but I have no idea what it is.

Only by gun model. Any gun that kills me is overpowered though and anyone that uses it is a camping scrub.
Camping scrub = players who sit in the most obscure corners and then move to a second obscure corner after they shoot you in the back?
Hardcore TDM in Nuketown is a flustercuck!!
What were they thinking?
Need Hardcore S&D on Nuketown stat!

M27 is not good and same with the SCAR. XM8 is also pretty much trash, but slightly above the other two. AN-94 is medicore at best. FAL would probably be the best one out of the list, since it is 10 times better than the SMR. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the MTAR. That and the FAL are probably the two best options for assault rifles, but the whole AR class in general isn't setting the world on fire.
SMR is better than the Fal if your aim is mediocre at semi-auto IMO, especially on mid-range maps like Grind, Slums, Downhill, etc.
M8 is good if your aim is decent and mostly only w/ Stock. You can strafe really fast at mid-long range and 2 burst targets while on the move which makes it an easier to use fal/SMR pretty much. AMMO is an issue though.
I think the AN-94 is a pretty decent auto AR. I'd rate it at one of the best if you have a good first shot (i.e. you nail the first two bullets) instead of firing then adjusting aim.
I think the T25 should be part of this discussion too. It's really underrated in terms of mid-CQB AR. It really falls apart at long range but in the mid-close range game it is great.
At the end of the day though all the ARs are pretty much the same to me except for the SWAT. That gun is bad.
I did the whole glauncher challenge w/ AN-94 so there are probably 500-600 more kills while using that gun there and I'm probably 1k+ glauncher kills with SCAR. I don't really understand why they don't track that anywhere but my performance w/ all the ARs is pretty similar since they are, well, all pretty similar.
AR comes down more to playstyle than anything.

If by "bad" you mean awesome, then I agree.
Man oh man, I sure do love double XP weekends.

I switched from the PDW SMG to the FAL assault rifle and now I'm finally getting a lot of kills. Although, I tried the MTAR for the full auto and love that as well. It's hard to pick between the two but I think in the long run I'd rather have full auto than having to click the trigger so often on the FAL.
Man, it is apparently impossible to come back to Call of Duty after taking a break for a while or something? Virtually every single game there is always some hardcore motherfucker on the other team going 70-8 (actually had that exact score on the other team three games in a row, different people) with constant Lodestars/VSATs/K9/etc. I've never been amazing but I'm no slouch either (anywhere from 1.2-2.0 k/d in previous games) but almost every time I've gotten on lately I'm just getting completely fucking destroyed.
Not sure if not playing for several months has just made me lose my touch, or if I'm just getting old in general or what. Doesn't help that I've still never really found my groove in this game at all like previous games. I've tried virtually every loadout setup in the world and just nothing clicks with me at all like in all of the other games. I'm actually concerned that I'm just getting too old to play these games any longer

Double XP has been extended through Tuesday morning to 10am PT.
That's nice of them, but I wish they would just do a day next weekend for it, since most people have school/work on Mondays
. Also it looks like the servers might have just shit the bed, so we may have an even longer extension.Similar threads
