Game: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[Xelbair]

15 euro is way too much(that is if it will come to pc - you can buy 0,5 year old games for that here if you are lucky) for 5 maps and 2 of them are from cod4. if it was 10 euro i would think about it, it it was lower than 10 euro i would buy it instantly.

Bill try removing lightweight for stopping power - lightweight and marathon usually just put you faster into bad situations. And i would prefer scavenger instead of marathon - to refill my precious stun grenades and c4/claymores. And C4 is deadly.
From shotguns it seems that spas its the best right now - with stopping its sure to kill with one shot. AA-12 is also good but has nearly no range. Striker is fun to play with, and imo ranger is worst of them all.
Spas is also great to annoy g18 akimbo fa...users.. because it will kill them before you got chance to shatter your body to pieces with their ammo.

Only thing i find to be impossible to counter is tube - with danger close it will kill you 90% of times. It requires nearly no to skill to use and is damn annoying. You have slim chance of winning at close range due to danger-close safety in them(they won't explode)... unless you get hit with direct impact..

yeah, they're called "noob tubes" for a reason

I wonder why nobody plays with the shotgun attachment?

best range by far (even better than the Model XXXX shotgun pre-nerfed), 1-2 hits needed (on HC always 1), u can switch to ur assault rifle for range.

I used it alot after the model "random number" shotgun range got nerfed to melee range..

but: only 12(?) rounds

Bill try removing lightweight for stopping power - lightweight and marathon usually just put you faster into bad situations.

I like using lightweight pro (for the quick aim after running) for all my SMG classes since I always run to flank with them.

For my other more stationary shooting classes (like the assault rifle classes), I'll use stopping power depending on how effective it is on the gun.

The biggest pain for me is choosing perks for my sniper class. Sleight of Hand Pro can be a lifesaver, but I'd need Bling for silencer + thermal.

[Xelbair]

If you are using barret for close range combat(possible and effective) use sleight, if not - get bling.

I've tried my runner class and it works great:
Barret(or any sniper rifle of your choice)
SPAS
Marathon pro
Stopping power pro
Ninja pro

just run with spas - sniper is only for cameo. and remember to aim with spas for surekills.

i've been doing alot of sniping lately, even though I've never been much of a sniper on fps games.

using :

WA2000 + FMJ+Heartbeat Sensor
Spas + Grip + Extended Mags
Bling
Cold Blooded
Steady Aim

I'm only using bling because I like having the heartbeat sensor and I'm trying to unlock extended magazines... and not doing very good at that. 9/40 penetration kills w\ FMJ and I really don't think I even got 1 penetration kill in 6-7 straight games last night!

[Xelbair]

For sniper try meybe:
Barret Thermal+Silencer
Spas + Grip + anything you like
Tactical Insertion + smoke grenade
Bling Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Ninja Pro

You can exchange barret with intervention. You'll get one-shot kills that way(that is if you hit them in chest), and you'll scare the heartbeat sensor users. Silencer will make you invisible, unless there is UAV. If it is on just go on rampage with spas(it makes one-shot kills too thanks to stopping power).
You can get Steady Aim instead of Ninja for barret-shotgunning, but take g18 instead of spas - Steady Aim actually makes it harder to aim with shotguns(they usually kill at close range without it and you just reduce the spread)

Veteran on campaign does that. Once you pop a head out, you're shot. It's the increased proficiency of the AI, and what makes it more "realistic". You'd spend most of the time in Vet mode behind cover, or trying to exploit certain gameplay loopholes. I must have died a couple of hundred times trying to get those trophies.

As for the auto aim, it hasn't happened to me yet....

I turned auto aim off on single player. I figured it wouldn't be in multiplayer and didn't want to get reliant on it.

Does anyone else get annoyed with the regular games and how you can waste a clip on a guy and he doesn't die? I pretty much only play hardcore cause at least the dying with one or two bullets makes more sense than the staying alive from 30.

If anyone else plays Search and Destroy on Hardcore let me know. Maybe we can party up.

[KrayZ33]

i don't know what the Xbox version is like but the difference between softcore and hardcore on the PC are 2--3 bullets (depends on the weapon)
which isnt much but still enough not to get fucked up by pointless LMG-spraying.

[Xelbair]

UMP with stopping requires 3 bullets to kill on normal.
Also i found new annoying fa...funny class
Maraton
Lightweight
Commando/Ninja
Tactical Insertion
Barret/intervention w thermal or fmj
M1014(if i remember correctly)

Its pump-noobin' time!

Pretty sure UMP without stopping power also takes 3 bullets to kill.

Idk if you guys are talking PS3 or PC, but I know alot of the assault rifles are horrible (on PS3) on normal mode. I have literally chased down a guy, shot the shit out of him from behind, he has had time to stop, turn around, shoot me a couple times, and I die. The most annoying part is in the kill cam he's bleeding to shit and hasn't put half as many bullets in me with the same gun, or similair assault rifle - I understand when I get akimbo'd or another gun with high damage. This isn't always the case, but it definitely happens too often.

I started playing hardcore after quite a few instances like that... and I much prefer it. I get the occasional BS, but it's usually pretty balanced - though the random Thumper firing can get a little annoying.

If memory serves me correctly - and maybe I am just imagining this cause I am new to PS3 - the PC version was more balanced for MW1. I used to switch back and forth between normal and hardcore, and there was definitely a difference, but it wasn't near as bad as the PS3. I miss the bigger games on PC though.

Off Topic: Does anyone else enjoy the Nazi Zombie game in WaW? I have not played it in a bit but I find myself missing it, lol.

[Buffalobiian]

Assault rifles are good on PC. I'm just waiting for that ACR (currently level 41), as the SCAR's good, but has too much recoil for my liking.

[animus]

The ACR and SCAR are the only ARs I like.

[Pandadice]

my favorite is the FAL. 1 hit head shots. No need for stopping power at all.

Then I like the Scar too. a bit weaker, but still no need for stopping power with it

[joker-kun]

I used the SCAR (once I unlocked it) with the scope, and then when I unlocked the ACR I have used that since. I find it more accurate - probably due to less recoil (and obviously the fact that it's a more accurate gun according to the graphs).

[animus]

The ACR also allows you to full auto from range with no recoil at all.

[Xelbair]

Try usign tar-21 with silencer - its a great weapon for all purposes(but remember to use short bursts when doing long range shooting). Way more dmg than acr, its fast shooting too and it just loves to gwet those lucky headshots.

For the PC players :

Have you guys played on many hacked servers? I found myself on one the other day... It was Afghan, and they had zero gravity set on it and super fast speed... so people were just flying around basically. Everytime you got a kill, the points came up w\ weird charactors. I lvl'd up after my first kill and then after 10 minutes it was boring because it's hard to move @ super speed...

so i left, and went from prestige 58 to 70 w\ just 20 kills. I don't have the patience to go through prestige 2 and re-level my guns... I'm just going to stay where I'm at and get my guns levelled up. I want to get extended clips on my ACR and do scavenger + extra mags + extended clips

[Buffalobiian]

I've played with hackers, but not hacked servers. It's annoying as hell.

Especially when you recognise one, exit the lobby, only to be rejoined with the same group again.
