wow, the LMGs need a big buff in this game. It should just the M60 do 50 damage at any range and make the other LMGs do 50 damage dropping to 35 damage for low RoF guns and 40 damage dropping to 30 damage for High RoF guns.
Or they could reduce the ridiculous recoil on the guns to the point where if you use kick OR grip it has AR recoil.
An L96 with speed, SoH, quickdraw, steady aim (all pro) and a red dot sight should function as an AR with more damage and less perks, not an AR with less damage and huge recoil. And right now you will literally have easier long range kills with SMGs than with LMGs.

Yeah, the insanity of the MW2 LMGs probably scared them into nerfing them this bad. People overestimated how useful 100 round magazines are and the guns lost their niche of strong, accurate long range fire. They really don't offer anything over the ACR or the G36C which fill the role better.

even if you buff the LMG's, they still may be to cumbersome to actually be effective with in game.

Run the ump45 (recon) starting class until you unlock dual attachements, silencer, and red dot. Problem kinda-ish solved.

Isn't too bad. Classes are key.

They'd probably be about as common as MW2 LMGs (ya know, not very common). Same if they buffed pistols up to MW2 levels or even MW2+Stopping Power levels; people would just use the easier to use guns.

But that's the point. They are supposed to be the weapons you use to take out groups of people at a distance. All three LMGs in CoD4 were incredible. The RPD was a low RoF, Low recoil gun that had no sway and with stopping power could two hit kill someone at any distance. The M249 had even less recoil and had a high rate of fire. It even would have SMG hipfire if you used steady aim and the grip attachment. The M60 was the gun that you didn't need stopping power for because at SMG range it did 50 damage per bullet. And the RPD and M60 could take out a helicopter with a single magazine.
The MW2 LMGs were okay, not as good as the CoD4 guns, but still viable, especially with the introduction of dual attachments. There were issues though, such as the assault rifles being too good at long range compared to LMGs and the silencers simply making the guns always take another bullet to get the kill rather than just make them have a mid-range dropoff.
In MW3 all of the LMGs have recoil that makes them a crapshoot at long ranges even with grip and kick and because of the dropoff you don't even do a decent amount of damage at long range. I will give IW credit though. They made it easy to take down air support with an LMG and blindeye.
Btw, has anyone done the hybrid scope glitch? A friend of mine showed me a way to make your character hold your gun weird using the a glitch the the hammer/hybrid scope.

The guy in video thinks you need a specific weapon to do the glitch but it pretty much works as long as you have sleight of hand and a a weapon with either the hammer scope or hybrid scope. It makes some funny positions and has a weird effect on the reloads.

Can't get online at all. Website says it's functioning correctly and looks like PSN isn't down either.
Tried playing a few special ops games on solo but I still get the above messages. Why is it trying to access the server when i'm trying to play offline?
Anyone else on PS3 having issues?

To be fair you did walk into it
Lol, you couldn't really see it until I moved forward a bit and set it off
Oddly enough I don't check for enemy claymores when I've just spawned!

360 here and XBL is down for me. When it was up I couldn't use party chat or connect to a friend's game.
xbox.com says there is a service alert but doesn't provide any other info.
Oh man :/ According to the service status from their site here it looks like everything should be ok. This bites! lol

Had my fair share of shite spawns last night, my one gripe with the game at the moment if I ignore the fact I dislike pretty much all the maps.

Seems to be alright now.

I'd say that in about 75% of the matches I play, I'm the only one on my team shooting air support down. I'm convinced that the average player doesn't realize that it adds a point to your streak, or else more people would be doing it. It's fine with me, though they can continue to get killed by weak-ass attack helicopters while I get free streak points and XP.

What was in that thread? Not viewable.
A few people were Anonymous' IRC and they were in the process of taking down the IW servers. Still not sure it was really a hack attempt... In the meantime, I had a nice Pee Pee triple kill, up close this thing is just bonkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mItE9mmJ01M
Me too, the stinger gives me two free points towards my killstreaks.
Patch is coming, so far you can report them for exploiting and they will have their stats set back when they made the exploited clan tag.
Good to know. Yes, I have been reporting them relentlessly.
The part where they stats will be reset is crazy though -- there will be a million crying kids.

I think it looks terrible, and they're distracting in-game (it's bad enough that we don't have the feature from BO where we can make player names more minimal). I'm annoyed that IW still hasn't done anything about it, so I report every single person I see using one. I don't think they'll do anything about it (that threat is probably just smoke and mirrors to scare people), but I'm spamming their report player feature until it's fixed. It's less about actually wanting these kids to be punished and more about trying to send a message to IW to get their fucking act together.
My main problem is that it clutters up but I mostly report it because I know the kind of people who does it.

Aren't we supposed to report them?

Yes, but like I said I'm just not convinced that any bans will actually be handed out — seems like it might just be a scare tactic.
Maybe I'm wrong. ATVIMikey on Twitter keeps telling people to report them, so who knows, maybe they'll take care of this eventually.

It doesn't look "pretty good" when you see clan tags like:
[F(A)GS]
or
[NGGRS()]
It's fucking stupid and the fact people can still do it is shameful.

This. Also am I the only one when I start up Multiplayer it lags on the main menu for like 2 plus minutes before the intro plays and then when i skip it it runs fine again? Im on 360 btw. It's making me sad to no end and I tried to clear the stuff on the 360 and re download the patch like most said to but it's not working
Plus I have my game installed but when I start the game up the disk is still running :/

I hope not. I just feel like I've already paid for these maps and played them 2000 times. If I want to play them some more, the game is right there on the entertainment center. No thanks.

Terminal would be very interesting to play without having to deal with OMA/DC tubers. That map was an OMA/DC paradise.

Nope. Happens almost every time for me. Sometimes I'll wait and sometimes I just shut it off, restart and hope.

The game disc still spinning goes away after a minute or so, it seems to be an issue with the new 360 disc format and not the game itself. Gears 3 and I believe Rage also do that for me.
Ahh I see. At least I know it's not just my 360. I hope a patch comes soon to fix this issue.

Thinking of running a shotty class, any tips?
And just think! When you hit prestige 10 you can reset it all and go again with your current skill!
Wait what? Prestige 10 is a stat reset?

Know the range limitations of the gun you're using and avoid being in areas that let people get out of that range.
No, Reset Stats is a stat reset.

Well I've never really done one before, so should it be mostly hip fire with steady aim? I guess what's the most effective perk combo and striker or spas?
Ok, this is pretty good music video, worth watching/listening.
