The AUG is pretty good. I don't really like the others.

Yeah the advantage the AUG has is that it doesn't take an hour to reload.

That said: RPD + Extended Mags doesn't ever need to reload unless you have Scavenger. :lol

I use them all the time. In fact, I got my friend that spends most of the game noob-tubing to spend most of time up until he gets Danger Close every prestige using the RPD.
The RPK in the Black Ops trailer has a magazine so I guess they're leaning back towards the MGs in WaW. The RPK (as well as the L86 and the SAW if they're in) can use magazines or drums/belts so I wonder if LMGs will get the drum magazine attachment in COD7.

:lol Never thought of it that way. You're right - OMA (Pro) is better than Scavenger for most LMGs. I've got to keep that in mind.

I can't really think of a situation where you would need so much ammo, anyway. Even the AUG gets quite a lot when compared to most other guns.divisionbyzorro said:

Well, I typically use Sleight of Hand or Marathon on an LMG anyway, but I hadn't considered OMA. I wonder if an OMA Pro swap is faster than a Sleight of Hand reload for certain LMGs? It'd be something to consider:
- Sleight of Hand Pro: Fast reload + fast ADS
- OMA Pro: Fast reload + extra ammo
One minor downside is that you can't cancel the OMA swap, but you can cancel a reload with melee.

Faster ADS is pretty useful, but I generally don't find it very hard to find time to reload. I pretty much always use Bling on LMGs.divisionbyzorro said:

My most used are easily the SCAR and thumper. I use the SCAR 75% of the time and the Thumper 90% of the time. I use the TAR, ACR, Aug HBAR, and Stingers, from time to time.
Least used would be the entire sniper class. I still don't have a single kill with a sniper rifle.
6 kill multi-kill with 1 AT4 missile in Search and Destroy.

Don't forget that OMA has been slightly nerfed with an increase in time it takes to switch to classes. At least on PS3.

I love how even the game itself doesn't quite follow what just happened and it takes a few seconds before the round ends. :lol :lolStrider2K99 said:
I got lucky, but I'm confident you can pull it off in 1-2 days of trying it. You only really need one EAD, five more crates and the right map.divisionbyzorro said:
Rust is in the regular FFA playlist now (used to only be in Mosh Pit), so that should be your best bet. I don't think you even need an EAD on that map - just toss a sentry from a safe spot, wait for it to land and then toss a CP on it. Has to work!

Hahah that AT4 multikill, nay GENOCIDE, is amazing.
I once felt proud for getting 5 out of the 6 enemies in S+D with a Predator. That's so much more awesome.

Having the same clan tag doesn't mean they're really a clan. Me and my buddies all use "cxxi" for our clan tags, but we never practice tactics together. It's just an inside joke from college that we use because, well, why the hell not? :lol

I just encountered a mod called counter terrorism on the PC. Basically one side runs around with detonators with the only way to kill the other side (which only has guns) is to blow yourself up. Makes me wonder at some of the cool crap we would have been seeing out of the mod scene as that mode was pretty fun but it wrecked my fresh prestige and brought me back to 70 with just that one match.

Hey, me and my buddies are "[DCIK]" sodivisionbyzorro said:
... but these 4 had clearly been practicing and shit, then even had their own camping places selected and attack tactics and everything :lolI'm hooked on One Man Army. Of my 5 classes, 3 have OMA. The only reason I don't have it on the other two is a) I need Marathon for my rush/shotgun class and b) you can't use launchers with OMA.
I'm also hooked on SitRep Pro. It's nice being able to shut down the claymore game as well as locate enemies based on the claymore location. And I love the footstep detection (if only it worked on Ninja Pro users, it would be the perfect perk). I'm reluctant to prestige just because of how long it will take to upgrade SitRep again.
One odd thing is I only have Stopping Power on one class, granted I spend most of the time in that class.

I want a patch that gives us 15 class slots, 10 is not enough!USD said:
Gotta have my AR class, SMG class, LMG class, sniper class, Javelin class, other launcher class, Akimbo class, Riot Shield class, Stinger class and then I'm all out of classes! Actually, what they really need to patch in is including killstreaks in classes. I don't want the same setup for akimbo run and gun as I do for sniper camping...
I have some questions about the single player.
Major spoilers, if you care:
Anyway, I love this game, I haven't touched the multiplayer yet, but I've been having a blast going through Modern Warfare 1 and 2 trying to get all the achievements. I got Mile High Club two days ago and am finished with MW1... but the SpecOps in MW2 are killing me. :lol
I love the single player campaigns in these two games because it seemed like they threw so many cool, innovative action sequences your way. Now, to be fair, I have not played many first-person shooters AT ALL, so I don't know how truly unique the MW experience is, but I was blown away nonetheless. Right from the beginning mission in MW1, on the frigate ship, I was awestruck the way the camera was wobbling while escaping the sinking boat. Then there's the ghilly mission, manning the AC-130 guns, the nuke scene, the aftermath, the cutscene showing the warhead path and projected casualties (at the end), and the sniper scene at the very beginning of One Shot One Kill. I just thought to myself throughout the single player: "Cool." Same thing in MW2, with the airport terrorism, the stealth mission in the blizzard, fighting on fucking United States soil, storming an oil rig and a Russian prison, etc...
Major spoilers, if you care:
Why did Captain Price launch a ballistic missile with EMP towards the U.S. in the Contingency mission? How would that help the U.S.? And what was up with the EMP detonating before it even entered the atmosphere? Somehow it affected both the city underneath and the astronaut observing (who must have been hundreds of kilometers away).

The EMP wiped out all the Russian forces still in the air. Did you miss the part right after this where it is literally raining helis?
Thagomizer said:
Damn, I remember that part, but I think I was seduced by the utter confusion Foley and the other troops showed. "What the hell is going on on maaaan" is all they were saying while the sky rained like it was hell. Anyway, dumb me. Thanks for the answer. ^_^

You like me, you really really like me!
Been playing lots of Red Dead Redemption and it still amazes me how much Infinity Ward's influence is felt. Not only did Rockstar take the leveling, xp and challenges from CoD but they also added in prestige as well!
Good move on Rockstar's part, it'll keep me playing RDR a bit more until the new MW2 map pack comes out.

Technically it wasn't a ballistic missile with an EMP, it was a nuclear ballistic missile that detonated outside the atmosphere, that way you got the EMP from the nuke, without blowing Washington DC to smithereens. Thats why the astronaut got blown away, because of the nuke being detonated out in space so he got the full blast

i was wondering if there are any nice gaffers that could play the last 3 Spec Ops missions with me (ps3)? i want to do them today cos im trading the game tomorrow. so please msg me (astroturfing) on PSN if you have all the missions unlocked and want to help a fella out just regular difficulty so it's fun and not frustrating (i hope).

So I'm starting to realize why so many people hate this game. I've been watching a lot of CoD4 gameplay videos on Machinima, and I noticed that most of them involved people being pretty mobile with Assault Rifles. So I decided to copy that style while playing MW2.
Holy shit. It was an incredibly frustrating experience.
I got destroyed by everything - including more Commando bullshit in a single evening than I've experienced in the past month combined. This game really seems to want you to play either super-fast or super-flow; a deliberate, flowing pace gets punished - hard. No wonder so many people hate this game - from my outside perspective, it seems that the game actually punishes you for trying to play it like CoD4.
I usually play a pretty slow/camp style with ARs (see Wings of Redemption videos), and it seems to be the only way to do consistently well with an AR. I don't necessarily thing it's a bad thing, but it seems entirely counter to how CoD4 played - has this been other people's experience coming from CoD4?

YES! This is my frustration with the game, theres just too much cheese!
The map design also doesnt help, there are so many cubby holes and windows everywhere (which where probably designed to discourage camping), that you really can be shot from anywhere. =( It really is too hard to run and gun CoD 4 style.

It's funny - Halo Reach is really what put it into my head. The speed of play in that game is pretty deliberate. You move around the map and engage in skill-based gun battles. In MW2, moving around the map is pretty much suicide unless you've equipped yourself specifically to be mobile (i.e., SMG, Lightweight, Commando, shotgun, etc).
Obviously, some people are good enough to succeed at any range with any kit. But for the rest of us normal folk...
I adjusted pretty quickly when the game cameout, and I never really noticed it much until recently. While I don't think any less of MW2 for it, I'm starting to understand the hate the game receives.
