Just seeing what everyone's been using online. I unlocked cold blooded yesterday and that's the slot 2 perk to end all slot 2 perks. UAV can't see you, Harrier can't see you, Helo can't see you, no red box around you for Predator, Apache or AC-130 and when you unlock the pro version (admittedly hard without the stinger unlocked) your name doesn't come up nor do the xhairs turn red when the enemy points at you.

I have 3 main guns and a couple mixes of them

SCAR with Holosight & Silencer
Glock 18 (I love this thing)
Frags
Flashbangs
Bling
Cold Blooded
Steady Aim

Same as above with UMP and M4 and a couple with an AT4 instead of the G18. I'm thinking of dropping bling and the holosight to carry scavenger as ammo sometimes becomes a problem.

So what's everyone else using?

I like the UMP, started playing with it a day or two ago.

I generally prefer being stealthy, so my main build looks like:

UMP w/ ACOG or Thermal. Thinking about sticking with silenced though.
Javelin
Claymore
Smoke

Marathon or Sleight of Hand Pro
Cold Blooded Pro
Ninja Pro


But I'm getting to where I only want to play hardcore, preferably S&D. This build suits that.

I do have a BigBangBoom class which I bring out if I get noobtubed. It's a scar with noob launcher, AT4 secondary, and Danger Close. The other stuff doesn't matter as I'm simply out for explosive revenge.

For the anti-tube class you should swap the AT4 seconday with the thumper and take scavenger that way you can just tube people all day

Just curious but what do you use the Javelin for in MP?

Helicopters, turrets and the AC130, the Javelin ignores flares so it has an advantage over the stinger.

Yeah I do have scavenger on that, but I don't like the thumper. It leaves you vulnerable when firing and has a huge arc. I prefer the direct smash and great blast radius of the rocket. When the toob doesn't finish 'em - the AT4 always does.

I use the Javelin to take out enemy Kill Streak Rewards as well as send in a massive explosion to known enemy locations.

Actually tried it on an AC130 yesterday and the countermeasures made it miss. I was rather disappointed.

I know with the stinger if you hold fire for a second while it's locked the choppers will release flares so you can get them with the first shot while the flares reload. I haven't tried the javelin online yet (I'm only lvl 28) and I haven't had anyone get the 130, they always seem to use chopper gunner instead.

I got to use the 130 once, it was damn fun. The 40mm Bofors is a blast.

Good to know on the stinger. The time to target on the javelin would probably make it ineffective, though.

I'll try again, maybe the countermeasures are less effective against the javelin. If someone else fires right before, I think the counters wouldn't be reloaded yet.

Have you seen anywhere with overhead pics of the maps? I know the strategy guide has them but it's too much money and the maps are the only reason I'd want it.

I tried to google that stuff and found places had like 3-4 maps done and they got those out of Playstsion magazine or something. I don't think it will be too much longer until someone manages to get some up though.

SCAR-H with Holographic sight. Good accuracy, excellent range and knock down.

In general I prefer hardcore and don't like perks, but the airdrop does make it feel like Christmas every round.

Try this site out Jeevz. Modern Warfare 24/7 They don't have all the maps down yet but it's a work in process. Good info for sure. I did get the Prima strat guide and for $20 it was a good buy. The Hardback strat guide even comes with laminated maps but as you would expect its a little more cash.

Nice, thanks.

I've been using the following to get a feel for the game:

• SCAR-H with Red Dot Sight and FMJ
• SPAS-12 with Red Dot Sight
• Frag Grenade
• Flash Bang Grenades
• Bling
• Stopping Power Pro
• Steady Aim Pro

The setup isn't fancy, but a decent overall setup to knock off easy challenges and unlock things. Once I get a few more hours under my belt, I'll throw a couple of layouts together for different situations.

I have two main configs, both centering on the SCAR-H

Config A)
Primary = SCAR-H w/Thermal Sight and Grenade Launcher
Secondary = PP2000 w/Red Dot Sight
Semtex Grenades
Smoke
Perk 1 = Bling Pro
Perk 2 = Cold Blooded
Perk 3 = Scrambler Pro
Death Streak = Martyrdom (hardly ever get a kill with it)

Config B)
Primary = SCAR-H w/Thermal Sight and FMJ
Secondary = Stryker Shotgun
Frag Grenades
Smoke
Perk 1 = Bling Pro
Perk 2 = Cold Blooded
Perk 3 = Scrambler Pro
Death Streak = Martyrdom (hardly ever get a kill with it)

I also have a Sniper config along with an AUG and an RPD.
I only have one config with an anti-vehicle weapon. And, even though I've unlocked better weapons I'm sticking with the AT4 because you can fire it without locking on, which allows you to fire it at people, which comes in handy when your primary is empty.

All these setups are subject to change, of course. I tinker all the time.

One Perk I might go back to is "Hardline" which allows you to get the Kill Streak bonus with 1 less kill. That can come in real handy.

What kind of luck do you have with scrambler? I find that when an enemy is using it I know to set up an ambush as soon as my radar goes fuzzy.

I don't use it for exactly that reason.

Real men go hardcore and don't use martyrdom.

Easy kill today after reading this. Thanks.
