Even the charge/burst one? I don't think I've seen a single person use it, and I'm halfway through Prestige 2. Haven't really heard anyone mention it in the OP snipers discussion either.

The burst seems kind of pointless in multiplayer, unless you're trying to blow up scorestreaks.

I am currently using the P-06. It is amazing. The benefit it has is that you can pull of multiple shots in succession with little recoil. Its really good.

Maybe on PC but for the love of god leave it alone on PS4. The thing would be more OP than what the M8A7 is right now.

Nah, if they do it right, it could work. Add some recoil to it and increase the firerate and it should be competitive. Though, the attachments may make it broken so I'm not in full support of this.

Getting a good feeling with the pharo need to unlock some stuff but damn that sub works like magic. When running around with ghost and hardwired with Awareness (i play with headset) is damn fun. Play mostly and only kill confirmed something i play domination sometimes.

I'm mostly just surprised at how stupid the enemy team was, lol. I see idiots like that every game. One of their team mates get killed right in front of them and they just rush in anyway thinking they're invincible.

My mate was giggling like a schoolgirl, "they just keep coming mate" in his Scottish accent.

Getting really quite annoyed with the challenge tracking now. I'm trying to get 5 kill streaks with the 48 Dredge. So far I've got around 6 but only one shows up when I check. I'm only using the 48 Dredge, no other weapon. I have the bloodthirsty medals to prove it but nothing. It's pissing me right off.

Drift0rs top 5 specialists I would agree with except for Glitch. Personally I am not having much luck with that ability.

I'm sorry but I quit game every time Redwood comes up. A lot of these maps are good but that one is a huge miss. What a total and utter clusterfuck.

I'm really liking the MVP, haven't unlocked the Pharo yet.

The VMP is this years very popular gun, but is a huge miss for me. I just can't get good games with it.

I'm going to start using the Pharo, lots of good vibes on here, and would like to find a good 3rd SMG I like along with the Razorback, and Weevil. Kuda is decent, Vesper is only good if you're right beside a guy, and VMP again just doesn't click.


Also if you guys are going for longshots for ARs, does everyone know the trick ? Equip the Variks 3 sight, and put it on the 1x zoom, and it counts for a longshot at medium range. I've gotten the longshots for 3 weapons, in only a few games.

Why has the community gotten so campy? Like every match I play someone is hiding somewhere, really destroys the fun of the game:/
Click to expand...

Campers are easy. Rookies who won't amount to much. There are few places to camp, and they're easy to spot and easy to kill, since they're usually just standing still while you're moving at top speed. As always, use the perk Sixth Sense.

i dunno man vesper has been great for me today, been using it all day

even from mid-long range im getting frags

extended mags and quick draw + elo are the only attachments im running on it
Click to expand...

I find it too inconsistent. Extended mags only adds 12 more bullets, which run out in a second, and the recoil trying to get guys mid range is brutal because of the fire rate.

Just finished the campaign on Realistic. I played it with a buddy and found the challenge fun for the most part.

That story line tho...lol
pretty sure Treyarch was too busy to rewrite another script and just kept piling crazy stuff on it over and over until eventually it wouldn't be a story anymore...just crazy stuff.

That perk that shows footprints is insanely good.

It is, which is why I run hard-wired. I'd argue Awareness is even more ridiculous, though; they should change the description to "makes the enemy wear the world's loudest high heels."

If you mean Campaign, I'm not sure, but Multiplayer runs perfectly for me, save for the occasional connection issue.

It's alright. Just stick to the area around the bunker and cabin. Metro is way worse, although I'd put Redwood in second worst.
Click to expand...

Everyone hates Metro but I find it really easy to predict where enemies are going to be. Redwood is much tougher to judge, and people blend in easier with the surroundings.

I just Burst Fire it when I'm at mid-long range, works just fine as long as you can track the enemy. That's only out of necessity though, I wouldn't make a habit out of trying to pick guys off at that range though.

That sounds like the Drakon again. The burst sniper isn't exactly what I'd call rapid. It shoots a 3-shot burst, yeah, but it has to charge up each time you press the fire button. Makes it at least as slow as the Locust, if not moreso, without the benefit instantaneous fire. The actual burst is so quick that you can't really utilize it that well to correct your shot in mid-burst (at least, not on console), and hitting players with more than one shot tends to be overkill in most situations.



Make a paintjob of the pistol or whatever with different words on either side. Then make a variant of that pistol with dual wield and the paingjob equipped. Then give that variant to your specialist as their showcase weapon. You might have to have dual wield unlocked to be able to equip the variant. I'm not sure.

naw I think its the first one that is unlocked, I know I use it like that past few matches for the heck of it :)

If you actually have the balls to thrust across the centre of the map and use the walls, you can absolutely dominate Combine. Great map.

I never see anyone using anything but SMGs, especially ridiculous when they can perform better at long range over ARs.

Also mouse and keyboard feels like complete ass, they should add a sensitivity bar specifically for hipfire and one for ADS.

SMGs have ruled CoD since MW 2. Sucks because I love my ARs

Original Black Ops wasn't really like that. While there was a lot of SMG people, there were just as many AR users in that game. Can't remember for the IW games. Black Ops 2 also wasn't as blantant.

Black Ops 2 definitely was outside the AN-94.

I think Ghosts was heavy on ARs, but I'm struggling to remember any guns from that game outside the Remington.

BO1 had the 74u as basically the only SMG that was popular... Famas ruled that game.

BO2 SMGs were OP at first especially with laser sight but they all got nerfed and game was pretty balanced after that. FAL was an AR and dominated as well.

I can't speak for the other CoDs because I do not like the recent IW games and AW didn't hold my attention for long so I've no idea what gun class dominated... But when it comes to 3arch games SMGs haven't really been dominant

Ghosts itself seems pretty forgettable. I'm drawing blanks trying to remember anything from it.

For BO2, I see what you mean. Treyarch has done some decent balance for their games but this doesn't feel as fun or varied as before.

I've enjoyed the campaign a bit more but that twist is really subtle where it completely flew over my head the first playthrough.

There was no point in using any SMG besides the 74u in BO1 when ARs had decent hipfire, fired fast, and were 3HKs in SMG range.

I also played Black Ops 2 on the Wii U and I'm not sure it ever received a balance patch, so the AN-94 was godly, and all the SMGs were pretty damn good.

That was the last game I bothered to get Diamond anything.

I feel like the SMG-AR balance in Black Ops 3 is great so far though, unless you're in a close range engagement.

M8, XR-2, and Sheiva are all dominant at mid-long range, the KN-44 is a consistent all-around gun and the HVK-30 wins head to head vs SMGs pretty often.

Doing really well with the vesper. I think I'm going to use that as my go to smg (most similar to the scorpion from bo2 which I loved). The pharo is nice, but if you miss the first burst, youre practically dead with the wait time for the next burst to fire.

Any recommendations for good AR's?
