Killed someone with a Cerberus package:

Twice today I was in a campers kill cam and I heard my steps moving towards the door crouching.
The Sheiva was the easiest AR for me to complete the 100 headshots on, especially the one shot kill headshots after unlocking High Caliber.
Dual Wield seems to have some bugs. The first I noticed is that when you dual wield the L-CAR 9, the headshots you get add to both the normal camo challenges and a separate count, as if the dual wielded version of the weapon is being treated as a completely different gun. Didn't mind that so much though, 'cause it just meant I was getting more XP for completing headshot challenges.
However, after prestiging the L-CAR 9 once and getting it back to max rank, I found another, more bothersome bug. If you try to equip the clan tag to the dual wielded L-CAR 9's, the 3d model will disappear in the create-aaclass screen , and when you try to use it in a match, you will be stuck with just your fists.
Lastly, when trying to do the camo challenge where you have to get 5 bloodthirsty medals with the L-CAR 9 alone, the game didn't seem to count any bloodthirsty medals I earned while dual-wielding the weapon (which is a pain because I can shred with it dual wielded, but it's pretty mediocre otherwise). That to me again seems to suggest that the dual wielded version of the weapon is being treated as a separate weapon entirely for some odd reason.

What attachments do you use with it? Video has made me want to give the pharo a go!
The Drakon is a straight-up better Shiva. Built-in high calibre, better range than long-barrel+Shiva, higher RPM, and still a 2-shot kill with a suppressor at all ranges. Only the ADS time is slightly slower. No other advantages on the Shiva I can think of atm. I wonder why people are sleeping on it.
Another video was posted here that made me want to do the same. Glad i did, my KD went up after using it.
I use Stock, grip, Quickdraw, helo sight, and extended mag
Here's another quick streak

A perfect run I had

My perks are ghosts and fast hands
And I have quite some other game play including mothership game play on my channel, all with the pharo

Thanks guys - you have absolutely sold me on it - have unlocked it and beasted with it the last few games
Oh awesome, how you liking it so far??
We still talking about the pharo right? xD
I love it
How is the helo sight btw? I usually sick to red dot.
Better
Try it
It is the red dot sight but way more clear and without any obstruction, it's the best
Give it a shot

I know. I used my Prestige token on the M8A7...thought it was good, but not great. Decided to try the XR-2 and damn! It's way better. Higher damage and rate of fire makes all the difference. What happens if you slap rapid fire on it (not worth it on the M8A7).
My main problem with using burst fire guns is that I get wrecked when it comes to run-n-gun moments or when somebody sneaks up on you. I used the Overkill Wildcard and use an SMG along with the AR, but I find it wasteful of slots.
Any suggestions, GAF?

Hipfire. Blops3 lets you hold down the fore button to cycle bursts, so just let it go like that.

"Cycle bursts" means what? XD That it would fire constantly? If so, still too slow. Haha! It's like when my first burst doesn't connect, I'm dead.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are only $30 on Amazon right now.
Anyone who doesn't have the game yet and just wants Multiplayer/curious individuals, the versions are certainly worth $30, IMO.
I own both, as well as the PS4 version, so I'm slightly qualified in saying it's worth it as I'm familiar with the game.
It is ugly, yes, and the PS3 version drops frames in heavy action, but the Multiplayer and Zombies game is the same at it's core.

We just had a double xp weekend. People tend to play a lot during that, and having a good SPM (400+) makes you level even faster.

Think they might have meant the gaf cod community. If you search for rmx687 on psn and look at his communities you can then apply to join the community, although I think I'm still waiting for my acceptance.
OH I see lol

I think one of the challenges is bugged. Need to kill people with the Dual Wield attachment.I have a MR6 with Dual Wield. But after a match it still says0/10.
Sigh.

Yup, no matter what I try with my Dual Wield pistols, the Dual Wield challenge under Combat Handling still says 0/10 kills, when I've killed multiple people with my Dual Wield pistols. Annoying.

I just can't understand the love for the Pharo, seems to consistently be a 3 burst kill for me.

Nope, either pre-order or Season Pass.
Yea I know, I've played almost 2 days full and am only low 3rd prestige, while playing quite a bit last weekend, and usually finish top 3 every game. My SPM is in the high 300s, but I mainly play Ground War and it includes Safeguard which is very hard to even get over 300 SPM.
I was just surprised, and it may have been legit, but knowing there is a prestige glitch made me question them.

Wow, the Pharo is amazing. This is the first time I'm really using it and it's kinda amazing with the grip/stock/laser sight
Congrats, welcome to the club!
Yes because you get 1 shot kill bonus 90% of the time.
Also some headshots for weapon leveling.
Same lol, that and the Tempest shot. No thanks, but have to use them to get the outfits unlocked.
I can't get it either and I know I had some double kills with them marked. Gave up and moved on another character so I dk.

Burst guns are way too forgiving of misses in this game
I think they're perfectly balanced to be honest. With perfect accuracy they should always beat full auto guns, and if you limit their ability to recover from a missed burst too much you just make them useless at close-mid range. I don't think the M8 needed to be buffed in that last patch, but it's not OP as it is now.
I'm biased though as I've always been a fan of burst fire weapons in the game.

I'm also biased because I hate them with a passion hehe

Right. I think I've finally found the gun that suits me best, the XR2.
I use the ELO sight, High Caliber, Stock and rapid fire with it and it's good for long and medium range.
I used Fast Mags and decided it didn't need it due to how fast it reloada. For those who use the XR2, is rapid fire even worth it? Or replace it with long barrel?
Going to give the Pharo a go once I unlock it. I mainly used the Razorback due to its range, but it gets wrecked when you meet someone up close.
