I have tried the SCAR, and I don't find it has the range as the FAMAS. Also the recoil is a little more with the SCAR. I really like shooting in 3 round bursts, only thing is the FAMAS needs stopping power to be deadly, the SCAR does not.

My main rig right now is:

FAMAS w/ bling heartbeat sensor and holo- the heartbeat sensor works great on some maps, but most I find it distracting and I end up dying more than killing. Doubt I will keep it. Probably stick with grenades or FMJ when I get it for FAMAS or M16 when I unlock it (love that 3 round burst!)

Perks are Stopping Power, Commando, and Bling. I love to knife people.

Now that I have "bling" (multi-attachments) perk I've mounted the grenadier launcher and have gone back to the red dot as now in hardcore I find the larger dot of the halographic is actually a detractor.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I've been ambushed a few times and it left me wondering "How the hell did they know I was coming?" But, I still think I have a kill ratio over 1 so I'm killing more than I'm dying (barely).

Your KDR is better than mine, maybe it's me that should be using it

If you start worrying about your ratio, Jeevz, we'll never take another objective. Someone has to soak up the bullets for the rest of us!

LOL, I only really worry about it in TDM where it means something.

Don't worry, in domination or HQ I'm rolling in like Leeroy Jenkins. In sabatoge I'll try for a first down.

They KILLED Hardcore HQ… So pissed off about that – it was my favourite COD4 game type.


So I dove into this full force about 2 days ago after finishing Dragon Age (best single-player gaming experience this year). Now at lvl 20 in MW2. So Its going to be Hardcore TDM all the way.

I’m loving the new iron sights. I find the red dot sights useless now since the irons are so clear. Only thing I’d consider is an ACOG or a thermal. The red dot seems like a waste of space.

Here are my current favourite set-ups.

1) Lots of explosive power, I run around a lot when I’m using this.

Primary:
M4
Grenade launcher

Secondary:
AT4

Perks:
Sleight of hand
Stopping power
Melee range

2) My general purpose set-up for calculated gameplay, silencer to keep it quiet, heartbeat sensor for some caution.

Primary
SCAR
Silencer
HBS

Secondary:
AA12 (can anyone say room clearer!)

Perks:
Bling (haven’t unlocked bling 2)
Hardline (easy kill streaks – care package at 3 kills = awesome)
Radar jammer (I don’t even know what this does, does it hide me on UAV?)


Whats the difference between a holo sight and the red dot? Its just a dot, no?

Ps. My PSN ID is ozkhan81, so add me if you ever want to play.

I'll be playing on PS3 as well as soon as I either get it fixed or replace it but it may not be til after the new year, depending on cost.

Supposedly the holo sight has more auto aim but I haven't noticed. I do like the FOV better on it.

No wonder I haven't seen you online in the last little while. Sucks to hear about your PS3.

The slight auto-aim in mutliplayer irritates me to no end. It should be shoot where you aim so that your skills are factoring into the kill more than having the crosshair in your target's proximity.

Yeah the blu ray drive is dead. I can still play games that are downloaded from PSN but nothing on a disc. I was on the last chapter of Uncharted 2 when it died

You can turn off the auto aim in the multiplayer options (at least you can on the 360).

I dont know but the last 2 days I'm playing with :

Primary : Riot Shield
Secondary: 2nd shotgun (dont remember the name....)
Flash
Blast Shield

Marathon Pro
Cold Bloded
Commando Pro


Incradible for small map!!!
you can sneak up guys, then bash them with the sheild!
If they see you before, just crouch and wait for him to empty his magazine on you (hehehe), then sprint and bash ^^

or you go silently with your shotgun but the guy is behind you, shooting at you... but your sheild is on your back protecting you ^^

The best map so far in the one on the Skyscrappers rooftops

There is auto-aim in multiplayer?

You can turn it off in the options menu.

Technically it's "sticky" aim, the sensitivity lowers when you pass your xhairs over an enemy. Lots of console shooters do it.

I'm using the ACR the most. Unlocked it at ltcol. It's really accurate. I'm on PSN, name is Airjawa on there as well, look me up!

My two set-ups that I posted earlier work great for regular mode, but playing hardcore - I’ve switched to cold blooded and ninja pro with my silenced SCAR with HBS setup. They never see what hit them.

Strike, move, strike move. Love taking out campers like that.

So I ditched the Javelin. It was fun for a while, but yawn.

I have an AA build with the stinger, it seems more effective at taking enemy air out than the AT4 and locks on more quickly than the javelin.

Want to try something fun? Try this for a round or two:

Marathon
Lightweight
Commando or Ninja Pro

You will fly across the map and can get behind the enemy very quickly. This is especially effective against squads who generally turtle up in their spawn - you get there before they're set up and wreak chaos in their plan. Often it's a quick and easy 3 kills, and then they're constantly looking out for you making them more vulnerable to the frontal attack. (So, then switch to your regular class.)

Here are my 3 setups for all modes.

LVL 47

1. M4A1 with grenade launcher and acog
usp 45 with fmj and extended mag
frag and flashx2
bling pro
hardline pro
last stand
martyrdom for d.s.

2. Intervention rifle with fmj and silencer
usp 45 with silencer and extended mag
claymore and smoke
bling pro
cold blooded
ninja
final stand for d.s.

3. Famas with red dot
M93 Raffica with extended mag
C4 and flashx2
scavenger pro
stopping power pro
ninja
martydom for d.s.

I dont change any of my sets cuz all 3 work for me. set 2 is my #1 choice and set 1 is 2nd. I use #3 when I play on favela, rust and under pass.

One weapon I'm learning to really like is the AUG. Once you get the Grip and the Red Dot it's very accurate and does a good deal of damage. It also has a large clip.

Really? I tried that set-up but I'm not feeling the love. Still find myself getting more kills with a RPD.
